"Someone recently managed to get on a Microsoft Teams call with representatives from phone hacking company Cellebrite, and then leaked a screenshot of the company's capabilities against many Google Pixel phones,"

"The Support Matrix also shows Cellebrite's capabilities against Pixel devices running GrapheneOS, with some differences between phones running that operating system and stock Android. Cellebrite does support, for example, Pixel 9 devices BFU. Meanwhile the screenshot indicates Cellebrite cannot unlock Pixel 9 devices running GrapheneOS BFU."

Hello,
The PinePhone automatically powers on when plugged in. While I know there are workarounds and suggestions like "using a better charger," I’m not interested in those.

What I’d like to know is:

Is there a command I can enter in the terminal to prevent it from doing that, so it only turns on when I press the power button?

I have a 64 G eMMC that came with my Pinebook pro and I decided to upgrade to 128. I got a new one here from pine64 and also the USB adapter. My plan was to use the USB adapter with the 128 G drive and do a dd copy from the existing drive to the new one, then swap them out. I understand that there may be some UUIDs or some other values I will need to change, but before I start messing around and killing a weekend I thought I would ask around and see if my general plan is sound.

Any problems I should look out for or other friendly advice anyone wants to give?

(I also got the audio-serial adapter to debug things when it DOES go wrong)

Hi,
I have written my first Kivy app for my pinephone running latest mobian. I run it launching it from a console...
I spend half a day wondering how to add an icon for it on my phosh phone and did not found any documentation about that topic.
Do you have any doc or pointer?
Thanks
Jean-Charles

Pinephone received yesterday. Ran it through basic phone and web browser functionality tests.
This phone is apha not beta.
Access to voice and data dropped multiple times.
PO resets and battery removal and replacement to clear.
Other basic functionality such as camera would require a complete overhaul of both SW and HW to even get to minimal functionality . 
Will try to get this not ready for prime time phone returned for refund.

So I'm still playing with my Zig toy OS for PinePhone, and I reached the point where I can draw on screen the A53 CPU core temperature   

Does anyone know what temperatures I need to set for the alarm/shutdown limits please?  It seems to get hot quite fast, although that is probably my code  

I guess I should consider the GPU sensors too, but since I am streaming a framebuffer direct to LCD, I doubt they are doing much temperature wise.

So I'm having trouble with my Pinephone which only worked properly for a day and I'm trying to work out which part I need to replace. Today, I remembered that I had the hub that has HDMI output so I tried booting it with that connected with both the regular install (the preloaded plasma) and the jumpdrive SD card. Neither gave me HDMI output. So the question is, is it supposed to work from boot, which would point to the mainboard being the issue - or not, in which case, I'm still up in the air.

Just to forestall the obvious questions, the phone *is* technically booting. I can see output on the serial console, it gets a DHCP address etc, I just don't get any kind of display on the screen (though the backlight does come on). I don't *think* it's the software (though I'd be happy to be proven wrong) so I think it comes down to the mainboard or the display. I'd be happy to pay for either but don't want to shotgun things.

This is a proposal for a guide to upgrade to Forky(Mobian testing) from Trixie(the previous testing release)
This has now been tested!!! it worked for me on my PPpro.
https://blog.mobian.org/posts/2025/10/ne...ting-keys/
It seems there are errors but we can fix these.

I will first recommend everyone with disk space use the tow-boot blue light special bulk storage mode and save the / of your PP or PPp to your computer, this will take a while to do but even if encryptde is pretty easy, in my ubuntu derivitave OS the GUI asked if I wanted to decrypt the volume, entered password, and I had access to my root.  A alternative is to use a USB mass storage device over an adapter or a big SD card to save your root or at least your /home.

below is form the guide linked above with some lined out do-not instructions and my edits in green 
_______________________________________________________________

1. keep your device plugged to a power source: such an upgrade can be a rather long process, you don’t want to run out of battery half-way there!
   
2. backup all your personal data
   
3. really, we mean it: backup all your personal data!
   
4. install
   
   Code:

   sudo apt install openssh-server
   and execute the entire upgrade process over SSH (and preferrably using
   
   Code:

   sudo apt install screen
   or a similar tool, so the upgrade can carry on even if the network connection is lost)
   
5. ensure your Trixie installation is fully up-to-date; as the GPG key we use for signing the package repository has expired since the Bookworm release, you’ll probably need to run
   
   Code:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
   at least twice: the first time it will update the Mobian keyring package, the second invocation will pull in the latest updates for Mobian-specific packages
   reboot,
   
6. then edit both 
   
   Code:

   sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources
   and
   
   Code:

   sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.sources
   , replacing all occurences of trixie with forky in both files; forky
   
7. (not sure this step is required in trixie to forky)you should then stop the
   
   Code:

   sudo service greetd stop
   service (this will stop all running graphical applications, and is why SSH is needed!) and run
   
   Code:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
   once again
   
8. (trixie to forky I didn't need this as only 2 packages were removed non-mobian both)write down the list of packages removed by
   
   Code:

   sudo apt dist-upgrade
   which start with
   
   Code:

   mobian-
   as those will have to be reinstalled later on to restore full functionality of your device; please note that some packages have been renamed/replaced in Trixie, so it can be expected to see e.g.
   
   Code:

   phog
   or
   
   Code:

   pinephonepro-tweaks
   in the list of removed packages
   
9. reinstall all
   
   Code:

   mobian-*
   packages removed in the previous step; this will remove
   
   Code:

   pulseaudio
   from the system, which is to be expected as Mobian now relies on (and mandates the use of) PipeWire(already done in the trixie upgrade form bookworm)
   
10. run
    
    Code:

    sudo apt autoremove
    to clean up unneeded packages
    

I amusing the latest Mobian trixie on my PPpro, slightly modified with an older kernel as this seems toavoid the non-working wake button issue. https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=19940

My issue is that unless I run the caffeine toggled on my phone falls into a suspend coma nad no charge cable, phone call, or wake button brings it back.  If the indicator LED was blinking it will continue,it might have even been one case where an audiobook was running and I couldnt get it back thoug that might be the intermittent non function of the wake/sleep button in the OS(holding still triggers a shutdown).

I do NOT have a serial cable to get the logs right at the fall into suspend coma.

I managed to bugger up the boot configuration of my pinetab-V. At first, only a blank screen would come up, and it wouldn't even boot into the sdcard, but this much is fixed. 

Now, I want it to boot from the EMMC, which it doesn't do. Luo provides an u-boot update script in the GitHub releases for updating the bootloader, but I do not believe this tool is suited from rescuing the boot of a broken system. 

I will review the starfive documentation on booting, but if someone has experienced a similar issue, assistance would be appreciated. I have some critical projects going on I must dedicate my entire attention to, and cannot afford to tinker as I usually do.
