Had this for quite a while.  I had an OS working and a sim for my provider a pay-as-you-go running on Verizon in the US.  Was told by provider it couldn't give me service.  Pinephone sat for a while then I needed the sd card for music in a very cheap Chinese mp3 player.  My car cd player just failed and decided to use the Pinephone to play to my AUX using vlc.  I ran sd card formatter on the card then tried it in the phone.  The phone still had the OS with test options.  I had never yet tried the option to write to the eMMC but thought I understood there was an OS on board in firmware that it wouldn't be a problem if the choice was wrong.  Phone died.  On button seems to do nothing.  I took out the sd card and couldn't format it.  It wouldn't get recognized so I went to my usual fix which is to format on a cheap trailcam.  Still didn't work, wouldn't get recognized on ubuntu nor Windows.  So, I went to an old compaq evo laptop having debian 3.2.51-1 i686 and a d-link hub.  Repeatedly failed but I kept swapping out sd card readers and one finally worked.  I dd if=./flasher-ubuntu-7b.img of /deb/sdb1 after dd if=./flasher-ubuntu-7b.img of=/dev/sdb didn't work.  I went to another terminal a used fdisk to see if anything was getting on the card and it was.  It showed a boot partition and another.  No more writing was getting done so I shut down the laptop and removed the sd card, put it in the PinePhone, and tried to power up but again nothing.

The phone had been getting quite hot before I wrote to the eMMC.  Now it doesn't get warm.

Where do I go from here with this?

Thanks.

Since both pineTime and banglejs use has the same hardware chipset Would it be possible to flash bootloader.js to by converting javascript to binary https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1443...han-base64

Alternatively I am looking for HR and HRV App for PineTime
and Banglejs has one on github

Would be happy if LG open sourced and donated to Pine64 all their work as they are completely shutting down a mobile division. I'm pretty sure that we all could benefit from such a move (LG including).

Hi
When I bought my Pinebook Pro absolutely nothing happened for about three weeks until I emailed sales, and then then almost immediately I got an email that it had been shipped.
Could have been coincidence, or it could be that they had just forgotten about my order?  I'll probably never know.
Last week (March 29th) I placed an order for a Pinephone with Convergence package.
Again I have heard nothing.
Should I just leave it? or harass them a bit?
thanks

Hi,

I used my Pinecil yesterday for a couple hours and today it stopped working. Connected to the PinePower Desktop via USB-C, it just repeatedly blinks on and off. Occasionally it will turn on after replugging, but the temperature is incorrect (shows 450 C) and the soldering tip never gets hot. I tried to flash the firmware, but the Pinecil won't enter USB mode (holding the minus button, plugging in, and releasing minus button) and the Pinecil Firmware Updater doesn't show that it's connected. Any help here would be great!

Cheers

I just received my Pinecil, and when I power through USB-C I get this power cycling. it doesn't do the endless power cycling when powered through the barrel jack...

Hi Pine community! I'm a newbie and I'm really excited about the projects that people are doing here.

I recently got the Pine64-LTS board and was interested in delving very low-level into how the board works, how to understand the schematics and how to read the Allwinner64 datasheet. I'm interested in the Allwinner64 since I know it's used in the Pinetab and the Pinephone so my knowledge would be transferable. I saw a course

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/raspbe...orials/os/

And it seemed like something I'd like to try with the pine64-lts. I know the chips and the board are different, but some of the things in the tutorial strike me as very possible to do, for example I should definitely be able to create a bootable image and write it to the SD card on the board and then boot into a baremetal program.

I recognize it may be a lot of work to try to find analogues to every section of this tutorial, but I'd like to give it a shot.

The first problem I was trying to figure out is the exact RAM address of the LED lights on the pine64-LTS. On my board, right next to the USB ports and the reset switches there are two LED lights. I wanted to try flashing them on and off with baremetal assembly code just like in the baking Pi tutorial. I'm struggling to relate the hookup of the Allwinner A64 with the schematics in Pine64-lts to spot exactly where this address is located.

If anybody has some hints or resources for doing this kind of reading I would deeply appreciate any links.

Thanks in advance!

Happy Easter holidays to all of you!

Is it possible to synchronise the calendar/contacts on the Pinephone with your Linux desktop?

The easiest way would of course be to connect the calendar/address book to an online account – but I do not want to give the data of my friends to Google or any other corporation just in order to move it from my phone to the laptop right next to it.

I have come across two possible solutions: I could set up a Nextcloud server (which is probably immensely complicated, way too complex for the tiny task intended and which may not work) or use KDEConnect (of which I don't even know whether it works on the Pinephone).

Is there any simple way to do it? The company Palm, which used to produce so-called palmtop computers, apparently had a small desktop program called "HotSync" that one could start on the desktop computer and it would synchronise calendar, contacts and files via bluetooth or cable. Is there anything equally comfortable for Linux? And if not: What would would the complicated solution look like?

As the post title says, I'm trying to pre-order the PinebookPro but I cannot get past the checkout page because no shipping options are available. I tried a US and Japan address with no luck. Is that correct? What countries can pre-order the PBP?
