Might have bricked my modem? Tried flashing the modem sdk. It failed so I flashed the recovery and tried again. Network Manager says modem is disabled, mmcli -L shows the modem, and mmcli -m any -e gives the following

I purchased a Pinebook Pro nVME adapter on eBay. I then installed a Samsung PM981 256 Gb card. I realize this card was not on the list of approved cards. However, the PM980 was and I thought I would give it a try. Everything worked great. Took special care during the installation to make sure all cables were moved to be clear of any cabling, speaker housings and battery plugs. Thanks to all who post. My next project will be to install Manjaro, so the drive will be bootable and remove the SSD.

What are the options for bootloaders diectly loaded onto the SPI of the pinebook PRO.
The goal of this thread is to get a comprehensive list of the options avaliable as the information for this is spread far and wide after 4 years.
Please list the name and version number of the bootloader and its advantages and disadvatages.
Personal experiences welcome.

Hi,

I wanted to dust off my PinePhone (developer edition, I think)(not the Pro, for sure), but I think I "locked" it.

What I did :
- I flashed "Jump Drive" on SD card, 
- booted on SD card, 
- plugged it to my PC
- runned `dd if=<postmarketos-image.iso> of="sdc`.

Now, I have PostmarketOS loading screen, but it never loads.
I think PostmaketOS does not load because I never installed TwoBoot. (did not know, too bad)
Right ?

I can't boot on SD card anymore.
Is it because of my ` dd` ? The boot order was replaced ?
Am I missing something ?

How can I recover my phone ?


Thx for ideas,
LeNouveau

I was working on https://github.com/yogo1212/arch-linux-star64 when I realized I was no longer getting any UART activity from my Star64.
I've tried multiple adapters but had no success.
It was working when I tested my OpenSBI build.

Is there anything that might disable the UART functionality?
Fishwaldo's image still boots and works - just no UART output.

regards :-)

Hello, I have a Pinephone with Mobian. Although megapixel works in it, no other program tells me the camera. I have tried "Camera", "Authenticator" or "Decoder", and I can't get it. Could someone help me get them to work?


Thanks a lot

I am trying to install Debian on the RockPro64 and I am having trouble getting the wifi drivers to be recognized by the installer. Without these I can not finish installing the OS.

At present I have tried formatting a USB stick to FAT32 and adding the files from here to a folder named "firmware" on the USB stick however the installer can not identify these files and keeps throwing an error stating the following files are missing:

brim/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin
brim/brcmfmac43455-sdio.pine64,rockpro64-v2.1.bin

I can't install the OS without getting the wifi working so I am not entirely sure how to go about rectifying this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be using a different OS? Is it a requirement to have a wired internet connection when you first install Debian?

If there are no other options I can go somewhere with a wired connection and install the OS and try and get the wifi firmware installed once the OS is already installed however I would like to avoid that if possible.

Can anyone help? Someone told me what they were once and I forgot.

I have the latest Mobian installed and Plasma Mobile ui as I prefer it, no mandatory running apps shortcuts on the drawer and it's just more appealing to the eye.

But I don't have a need to bloat down the system with two ui's.

Hey everyone, I recently got the Pine Dock, and to be honest it's been a game changer for me, however there are two issues, HDMI isn't working, and no network through the rj-45.

Being a jack of all trades, but master of none... I do not have the knowledge to figure out these two issues. The primary issue I wish to fix is the network.

My Pinephone broke and I switched to Droidian, but I don't think this is a Droidian-specific question. Forgive me if it turns out to be irrelevant.

Anyway, my on-screen keyboard works fine on most apps, but I installed both Nextcloud client and Chromium browser, and in both cases, focusing on a text field doesn't cause the keyboard to deploy. The common denominator here is that both of these apps use QT and not GTK, and I assume this is relevant.

Has any one had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?
