Pinephone not booting various OSes (eMMC and SD card)

[lapinus]

Hi all!
I have a Pinephone Braveheart, one of the first to ship (shipped around 9th March) and I used it on and off between school and other things. I left it lying around for a while and recently started playing with it again. It worked fine.

2 days ago I was on PostmarketOS with plasma. After a forced shutdown since it froze, it wasn't booting anymore. I tried PmOS with Phosh from the SD and the eMMC and it vibrated with a white and then green LED and shut off 1 second after that, and kept doing that. Then I tried Ubuntu from the SD and eMMC. I had a slow blinking red light.

I honestly don't know what the fuck to do anymore, any help would be GREATLY appreciated... thank you guys!

Have you tried applying the uboot clock fixes? You could be having that problem

Hey man, I fixed it! It was pretty easy. I had to boot an OS with a broken version of Crust like KDE Neon and I was able to charge it from there, since the battery was undercharged.

My phone also doesnt boot from emmc, if the battery is very low.

Does your phone boot with jumpdrive? https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePh..._Jumpdrive

If yes, boot it and leave it on the charger for some time.

Ye I just did that and it worked. Right now I am sitting with Mobian hotspotting on my laptop and making calls, it's really a sweet OS. I think it's gonna be my daily driver... I gotta make it work since I am in vacation and my old Nexus 5x decided to give up on me...
