Your phone out of the factory contains on the eMMC a bootloader that loads the SDcard first if it can. Otherwise it tries to load Manjaro from the eMMC. No RE needed at any stage. It seems your Manjaro is also duff.
I am not sure about pmOS for PPP but think you actually have to cook your own image with pmbootstrap, which is probably why you are having grief with pmOS.
The 20220327 Mobian image on an SDcard should boot fine using the bootloader from the eMMC. You can then start playing other options like Tow-boot.
Mobian is here: https://images.mobian.org/pinephonepro/w...327.img.gz
Thanks for the help. Mobian booted with no problems. I'm in a bit over my head with this stuff, but hopefully I'll figure some of it out.
postmarketOS has no image for the Pro so I assume you simply flashed the completely wrong file previously.
