Pinephone is dead (sort of)

There's an error communicating over the USB protocol and the device descriptor could not be obtained. (Well, we basically knew that but now we know the PC is at least seeing Jumpdrive but cannot communicate with it.) I tried searching for this error but could not find -71; -110 and -32 seem to be most common, but they all point to USB communication problems. Sometimes this is due to the port not delivering enough power but since the Pinephone is powered by its battery that should not be the case here.
Make sure your USB cable is inserted all the way into the phone. If you have the phone in a case remove that, with some cables the case can prevent the connector from fully seating. I'd try another USB port if you have not already done so, preferably one on your computer's motherboard. (On a tower those would be in the back.) Also try another cable, making sure it's a data cable, not for power only. Finally I'd try another SD card flashed with a copy of the latest Jumpdrive.
