I got my pinephone a few days ago, I turned it on to check it was working, used the browser for a little bit and then turned the screen off. Since then the screen has been black. (But it is lighting up very slightly I think) I've tried flashing a few different OS's with jumpdrive (arch-arm with phosh and manjaro-arm with phosh.) and the screen stays black. I think the actual OS's are working because jumpdrive clearly works (Lets me see and flash to the eMMC from my pc) I just can't see anything on the screen. I also installed tow-boots installer on an sd and put it in the phone, but the screen merely flashes blue after turning it on and then goes dark again. That's everything I've tried, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi everybody,

I've a problem with the Rockpro64.

With the Port USB-C is possibile to tranfer video data?

I tried to connected an HUB (to the USB-C port of the Rockpro), this HUB contain 3 port USB and 1 port HDMI, i connect the 2 USB on the HUB Mouse and Keyboard and they function correcty, but if i connected the HDMI to the i can't see the video on the screen. But if i connected the HDMI directly on the Rockpro, i can see the video on the screen.

So, Why it doesn't work with USB C?

Thanks,

Daniele

Hi all,
my brand new pinetime is stuck at the "infinitime logo" after 2-3 days.
I've used gadgetbrige to flash the 1.9.0 firmware as soon as the watch arrived. Everything was fine for about 2 days. After that the "inititime" logo appeared and i got stuck there. I've discharged the watch, read some help request so i went in the blue recovery and then in the red one and got it flashed again. Seemed fine for about a day and then "infinitime logo" again.
Tried to flash it again with 1.9.0 or anything but nothing worked. Rebooted phone, tried gadgetbrige, nrf connect, different boot (green, blue and red) but i can't associate the watch with gadgetbrige anymore (no entry there so no flash) and with nrf connect i get a "starting DFU, disconnecting" with nothing done apparently (uploading the firmware usually require about a minute).
Any idea on how i can recover from here?

Thanks!

I would like to boot my Pro from a MicroSD card and backup the eMMC. Once booted from MicroSD, I want to enter the CLI and run the `dd` command or whatever (obviously, this should not be done on the live system booted from eMMC).

What kind of image should I flash onto the MicroSD card? Will any of the images for OS installation do, or are they only good for actual installation and not for live trial/recovery purposes?

UPDATE:

PostmarketOS regular image works very well for this purpose (need to install Tow-Boot to the SPI first).

I also tried to simply use the Tow-Boot's USB Mass Storage mode to directly access eMMC from laptop, and it initially seemingly worked, but the phone would arbitrarily reboot itself during the backup process.

Hello all,

It's possible install Android in PP 64 with a custom ROM?

i installed tow-boot  on pinephone beta edition but  it dosn't work

 so i found this

 

Quote:Q: I’ve installed Tow-Boot on my original PinePhone but it’s not working as described. A: The original PinePhone will always boot any u-boot on the SD card first. If you have an older Mobian image or another OS image on the SD card this may happen. Removing the SD card or wiping u-boot off it should cause Tow-Boot to work.

If I run GmusicBrowser and VLC at the same time, on my PinePhone, VLC will take priority on my lock screen, and when I pull down the drawer with the wifi and bluetooth settings. It used to be that VLC took over the lock screen, and GMB took over the drawer.

I know this is kind of a petty request, but sometimes I switch between my music, which is in GMB, and my podcasts, which are on VLC, and I would like to be able to choose which app's controls show up on the lock screen or drawer. Is there any way to give one priority over the other?

Hi everyone,

seeking for help if this "project" is possible at all.
