I'd followed instruction at https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePh...microSD_OS, thinking it was talking about the PinePhone Pro (maybe I got to it from a thread regarding the PPP; I don't remember, at this point), and missed the message in red at https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC.

Now, it won't boot at all (as far as I can tell) with a full battery or plugged into a PC. I thought I was following instructions to the letter but this one's clearly my fault. Hoping I didn't just brick my just-bought phone but thought I'd, at least, ask if there was any kind of hope for recovery, at this point.

The Pine phones are actually quite Forgiving,  
have you tried flashing a sd card with the correct software and booting from it ?

My Explorer booted to the sd card by simply holding the power button for about 6 seconds, instead of the usual 2 second
press on the power button to start the phone.

Once you have an sd card booted, ---  you can format the emmc with that.

Welcome to the forum,  and Good Luck.
