You need to hold the RE button very long (make sure its really pressed!).

However I am not able to flash the spi:

When I was getting that error, I was using pine64-pinephonePro-2021.10-004-pre.tar.xz (note the "PRE"). At which point I made two changes to my attempted install process; not sure which made the bigger difference; if either! Rolleyes

I switched to using pine64-pinephonePro-2021.10-004.tar.xz and I added a Volume Label to the SD Card when I flashed that onto it. Seems unlikely that the Volume Label had anything to do with it. But, who knows!? If you're still having trouble, it's worth a try. Wink 

One thing is for sure though; if you're getting to that point, the issue hasn't got anything to do with how you're holding whatever button in whatever way. At that point, there's an issue with the flash or the code. I made a list of all the steps I followed to get Tow-Boot installed; on page 4 of this thread.

Good Luck! Big Grin
