I wasn't paying attention and accidentally installed Factory SailfishOS and overwrote the Tow Boot, I attempted to finish the installation and click the two prompts after clicking "whatever" part 1 and where it asked if I wanted to encrypt phone which I chose no then told me to Reboot after it was done processing. 

Now all it does when I power on is the green led just flickers a few times and that's it.

But when what I want to do is install Ubuntu Touch.

Do I need Tow Boot or uBoot

I just got a new main board of the PPP and replaced it from old broken one.
After replacement of the main board, my PPP only boots into AOSP android after displaying "Rockchip kernel" splash.
I tried with powering on with volume-down button, couldn't boot. With volume-up button, it goes into the android recovery mode,
I also tried with RE-button, but I got no response.

Is there any way to boot from MicroSD? 

Certainly I know you boot the phone and hold vol + until it turns blue, (I have towboot), but I accidentally let my battery die and got stuck in a boot loop, ordered an external battery charger, to help with getting a full charge.

I flashed one image via BalenaEtcher and a MicroSD reader and pressed vol -, but I get an error message.

Still if I try Vol + the phone just reboots and doesn't stayed on, so I can't flash the image to the card that way via BalenaEtcher

Earlier this year, there was an update to the Linux kernel that broke booting Rock64 from their eMMC and it was necessary to force using an older, working kernel version.  It's since been fixed, but in case there is again a need to boot with a kernel older than the latest, here's one way:



Drop a file in /etc/flash-kernel/ubootenv.d that forces the U-Boot environment variable fk_kvers to a working kernel version present in your /boot, then run flash-kernel to regenerate the U-Boot bootscript /boot/boot.scr





echo "env set fk_kvers 6.1.0-22-arm64" > /etc/flash-kernel/ubootenv.d/90-force-kernel-version &&

flash-kernel



When you want to stop forcing the kernel version, remove /etc/flash-kernel/ubootenv.d/90-force-kernel-version, run flash-kernel, and reboot



This works because flash-kernel rebuilds /boot/boot.scr from the template /etc/flash-kernel/bootscript/bootscr.uboot-generic, and this includes "@@UBOOT_ENV_EXTRA@@", which gets replaced by the contents of each of the files in /etc/flash-kernel/ubootenv.d/ and the boot script boots the referenced kernel

In InfiniTime, is there a way for my screen (app) to maintain some state across invocations? E.g. for app settings, but also for a stopwatch/timer that can resume even if the user switched to another screen and back. I would just store the time point at which the stopwatch/timer started, and then recompute the elapsed/remaining time from the current time point when it is reopened.

Hi folks, I managed to kill my PineTab (older one) with the last update. After boot no Login screen appears, only serial console available.
Where to find old Mobian pinetab-image with u-boot? On mobian website there is no image with u-boot available anymore.

Last working image according to mobian wiki is "mobian-pinetab-phosh-20220327.img.gz".

Why can't I order pinecil v2 in Kazakhstan

I got my pine book pro back in march, put towboot on the spi and ran armbian from the emmc. Happy! After a period of disuse including full battery discharge, it started booting to a black screen. Sad! 

I put a new image of armbian on an SD card and it does the same thing. I opened the case and turned off the emmc switch and tried a fresh SD card. No change. I tried the long press hard reset. Same. 

Tow boot is still working. When it boots to the black screen, the power light is green and the caps lock and num lock lights work. 

I’m not sure what to do next.
