Stuck trying to flash phone - zeroed - 08-30-2020

Huh 
Trying to follow the Jumpdrive flashing instructions on the Mobian Wiki and have run into a wall.

Once I run "blkid" to list the devices, I get a list of 10 devices in the phone.

Which one do I direct bmap to?

I was told to flash to, for example, /dev/sde rather than /dev/sdeX  as in:

sudo bmaptool copy mobian-pinephone-20200805.img.gz /dev/sde

This gets an error that the dev is busy... and I can't unmount it.  I'm afraid to just pick one of the partitions because I don't know what will happen if I use the wrong one.

These are my options:

sde      8:64  1  14.7G  0 disk
├─sde1    8:65  1   1.9M  0 part
├─sde2    8:66  1      1M  0 part /run/media/binky/b93cc654-5b81-4149-b3d2-b37e

├─sde9    8:73  1    2.4G  0 part /run/media/binky/db17074a-eb35-43cc-b22d-bce9
└─sde10  8:74  1    8.6G  0 part /run/media/binky/userdata

Is anybody able to help me?

I just re-flashed my pinephone, with postmarketOS, jumpdrive & linux mint laptop.

all I did was use the "dd" command;

sudo dd if=<your image> of=/dev/sdb (my phone) bs=1M

it did the job
