Pinephone is dead (sort of)
#25
Hi,

Well, I wasn't really sure what should happen, so have just tried it myself.

I flashed https://images.postmarketos.org/pinephon...t64.img.xz

Then I put it in my Pinephone and booted up...

At first, nothing happened, so I charged my phone for bit first, then tried again - so I'd make sure you have a decent amount of charge in your phone.

So, trying it again a bit later, at first it vibrates, then 'PostmarketOS - Loading' appears for a while, and finally, you get a set of menu options for all the different tests.

Good luck.

That sounds a bit more promising Smile
Keep at it!

The 'Flash to eMMC' option is greyed out for me too when I boot into the factory test, and there's nothing wrong with my emmc. That's a pity, as that wuld be a useful test for you. The only thing I can think, is you either need a full battery, there's some secret way of accessing it, or they've removed that option.

Now that you can flash your SD card, I guess you could try installing Mobian on your SD card, like Zebulon suggested. You may be able to get some useful info once you boot into that. Or you could wait for Zebulon/someone else for more suggestions.

Good luck
