Just read a few of the threads I posted in today.
For Linux images it's easy, get f3, check your card and when it's ok, use dd to burn the image. With Android it's different (you need Windows in a VM or maybe this crappy 'Phoenix Card' thing runs within Wine). And there's always a great chance to corrupt the data you write to your card 'on the fly' when you use the 'wrong' USB card reader. But this issue can also be detected by f3.
IMO it's time for the Pine64 folks to overthink the state of documentation since the forums are full of complaints from users wasting hours of their lives since they are simply not aware what's needed.
