Actually it was never alive ..
recently I have ordered PinePhone Pro with the keyboard cover.
when I received them I immediately placed the phone into the keyboard cover.
when I turned the device on (default OS) the keyboard was not recognized.
I tried to remove the phone then placed it again into keyboard cover but still the keyboard is not recognized.
1 - whatever I type on the keyboard it doesn't appear on the screen.
2- there is NO indicator that shows that there is additional battery (keyboard battery)
3- pushing the battery switch on the side of the keyboard doesn't change anything
is my keyboard faulty??
what should I do?

| Pinephone Keyboard Doesn't Work |

I received my PinePhone keyboard a couple of weeks back and my PinePhone Pro just arrived today.
The phone seems to work ok but the keyboard doesn't work at all.
I've tried rebooting, reseating, fiddling with the POGO connectors ... all to no avail.
Of note, the phone doesn't even appear to charge with a USB cable connected to the keyboard, but does charge when a cable is connected directly to the phone itself.
Could I possibly have a dud keyboard?

Pine Phone Explorer Edition - Distrohop Boot Issues |

So I wanted to check out mobian on my PPP Explorer Edition, I just received.
I wiped the boot part on the internal eMMC(which I learned would not be necessary, but should work).
But now I can't get my SD image to work.
I tried the following images:
mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20220116.img
mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20220109.img
mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20211225.img
Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-beta10.img.xz
On the serial console I receive from the Manjaro:
Code: Starting kernel ...
[ 0.234837] rockchip-usb2phy ff770000.syscon:usb2phy@e460: failed to create phy
On the Mobian ones:

[ 1.573992] hub 2-0:1.0: 1 port detected
After that it seems to take another attempt at starting and eventually stops.
Did anyone have the same problems?
Any advice on how to fix it or debug further?
Is it maybe some hardware damage? It always breaks at the same spot and it looks like USB 2 is the common denominator.
Before wipeing the eMMC I put on the wireless charging cover and put it on top of the Desktop PinePower(It has wireless charging)
If anything (next to shipping) damaged it, that might be that 
But it still seemed to work, although not charging, while I still had the orig. OS on.

Received my Explorer Edition yesterday. Booted it, played around. Everything seemed fine, Discover seemed broken (default KDE Manjaro). Shut it down, tried mounting it in the pinephone keyboard, never got the keyboard working, planned on trying the pogo shim this weekend. Shut it down, back into "phone mode" played around some more. Let it charge, then unplugged it and left it on my desk for the night.
This morning, wouldn't start. Plugged in, off to work. Still no boot. Removed battery, monkeyed around with various attempts at powering up. I don't get a vibration or anything on plugging it in as described charging indicator (pine64.org) .
Next steps for troubleshooting?

I received my pinephone keyboard a few days ago and I've never been able to get it to charge. I have mobian installed, they keyboard works, but the battery doesn't charge. After enough time it completely kills the phone and I have to disconnect the phone in order to charge it. Any Ideas? They keyboard does not work with my brand new pinephone pro at all.. I tried pushing the back in like some users have said to do, this does not fix my issues.
I though i saw something that said we needed to install a firmware update on the keyboards because they didn't come with it, but I haven't been able to find it? Am I mistaken?

Does the PPP have a charding indicator that comes on when the phone is connected to a charger?
My PPP does not show any indication of being charged when connected to any charger I have tried. I believe the battery is completely dead.
I have switched the audio out to UART and if I plug headphones into the jack and plug headphones in there is usually some activity followed by a regular pulse when connected to a charger.

| PPP Explorer Edition - Wipe eMMC |
|

*Due to some question surrounding my previous instructions, I have re-added and changed this post to use the same instructions as on the Pine Phone Pro Wiki the only difference being that I added some links and an image to make it more new Linux user friendly.
According to the PinePhone Pro Wiki, and due to the fact that not all software is stable yet, it is best to run all distros from an SD card. Yes I am aware that the Explorer Edition comes with Plasma Mobile installed to the eMMC, however from what I understand if something goes wrong and the stock bootloader becomes corrupted or overwritten you could be left with a more difficult time restoring the device due to the boot order of the PPP defaulting to the eMMC. So at this point it seems it is best to boot your distro from an SD card and wipe the stock bootloader off the eMMC which forces the phone to always boot from the SD slot.
The PPP comes by default with a bootloader on the eMMC that lets you boot to an SD card by holding down the power button a bit longer when turning the phone on.
The steps below force the phone to always boot from and SD card (If you choose to follow this you do so at your own risk):
-
Insert imaged SD card into your PPP Explorer Edition and hold down the power button until it boots to Arch Linux (or other distro if you did not use Arch)
Type lsblk in the terminal app on the phone to list the devices
![[Image: device.png]](https://i.ibb.co/vwyM5yT/device.png)
- Wipe the bootloader using the following command (Note: please replace "DEVICE" with the eMMC device name and double-check you got it correct and that you did not select your microSD card or a partition of the eMMC! Mine was called mmcblk2 and showed ~115gb in size but yours may be different so triple check!)
Code: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/DEVICE bs=8k seek=1 count=4
- Once you have run the command and it is complete. You can reboot and it should reboot to the distro on your SD card.

Hi there. I'm new.
I see what appear to be conflicting reports of what I need to do in order to boot an img from sdcard.
Seems like it's some combination of:
a) erase emmc
b) hold the power button during boot
c) hold a reset button under the back cover
d) just write an img to an sdcard, pop it in and restart
Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks!

Hello,
Selling my PBP 64gb ANSI in excellent condition. Barely used and never left the house. Currently with OpenBSD 6.9 but can install any OS of preference. Also including NVMe SSD Interface Adapter not installed and never used. As a bonus I can include the serial console cable to install OpenBSD or access u-boot.
I can ship anywhere in the world but outside the EU there will probably be customs duty.
For example, shipping within the EU is about 25€ and the USA about 75€. I will refund the difference after shipping.
I will send it extra protected with the original bubble wrap envelope that came with.
Price 200€ plus shipping.
