The link I posted above has a video outlining what you posted, I just thought it was for Pinephone only.

Yeah I'm not sure why I'm scared to do dd I've done it before.

I ended up going with Mobian Phosh because of the external monitor support specifically and generally more stable experience.

I used JumpDrive in the past to flash Mobian to the Pinephone's eMMC.

Anyway thanks for the vote of confidence, I'll try it out. I would like the full speed of eMMC over SD.

Ugh the sd card will go to sleep then I can't wake it ha. Anyway I forgot I was doing the disk write thing, can't wake it up. So restarted, not booting from eMMC will boot from SD card again and see what's up.

Got it to start again, don't think it's using SD as the LED didn't turn on, Used reset button. Mobian logo appeared nothing yet on screen but backlit.

Nope can't start it... wonder if this is what they're talking about the pain of booting from internal vs. SD first.

Saw Mobian logo again SD is in, had to do reset button, then nothing on screen but screen is on.

Guess I'll reflash Mobian on the SD card if that does something (lol sounds stupid saying) idk man I'm pushing buttons.

Huh... I guess it worked? It's hard to tell what I'm on since both my SD card and eMMC are 128GB

I didn't get a setup screen is the thing like choose your language.

Lol I can't boot it reliably like the screen is just black so I idk if it's working... I'm pretty sure it's the SD card, it's just odd that with a fresh flashing it's not starting from nothing.

I mean both should be starting from nothing, I'll try it again, won't let it sleep this time.

Final update for this post

I did the disk restore, was fine, phone still working

Rebooted, no SD in, won't boot, can't tell if it's turning on. Tried reset too

Anyway I'll just stick with the SD card for now, I can get what I need done with that

So stressful when it won't boot into SD haha, think I need to do that thing where I wipe part of the eMMC if not enitrely or just don't let it die.

Not sure if it matters having it plugged in, that seems to help?

Mobian does not work from the eMMC, please flash something else. And for the future please use the Pine wiki, everything is explained there: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC. Then you also don't get wrong advises such as "remove the partition table".
