Hello,
Just wondering if there is something I can do to get my Pinebook Pro booting again after a hard reset? The OS froze and wasn't usable so I hard reset it by holding the power button down. After doing so it won't boot now? The charging light is still lighting up when plugging in the charger but when I press the power button I get nothing.
Thanks,
I have a similar problem
Today I decided to return to where. Only now LSBLK returned me that emms is on mmcblk1. ok uploaded there.
after the end of the process, turned off the laptop. but it's frozen.
I waited for a while and turned it off by holding the power button for 15 seconds.
after which the laptop will not turn on. the power-on indicator is neither red nor green. the screen does not show anything either.
only the cpu temperature is an indirect sign of operation. after a short press on the power supply after a short time, it becomes warm. after 15 pressing the power button it cools down quickly.
what will be the assumptions about what happened and what to do about it?
I'd first get it to boot *anything* and work backward from there. Turn the eMMC off, and boot to Debian or something with an SD card.

??? I've always found that ~7 seconds is enough to force it off
Just today, yet again, I had to do "extra long press" ,, appeared dead, only chg led
This is almost 10 times by now (my fault, messing with various uboots)
So, it costs you little
Make sure that a bootable SD is in socket
If there is a bad uboot somewhere, disable it, get it gone
Don't let up pwr button too soon, if anything give a few extra seconds,,, 20+s
If you hold it only 18s, won't work,,, I know documentation says 15, that is wrong
Then, a normal start press

Would you not be better off zeroing it?
At least, that is another option
Once you have a bootable pbp, you can again try writing SPI, from os, not rkdeveloptool
--edit--
Sometimes, for flash, it is good practice to write zeros first, then write image
No left-over, not overwritten junk
Especially if new image is smaller
You can re-flash the eMMC once you've booted from SD or USB. Try both now that you've flashed SPI.
