I just got my Pinebook Pro today, probably got too exited about no speakers detected and tried to update OS automatically and that concluded in boot crash.
What is happening is just Manjaro logo, below dotted circle do from 2 spins up to 4 and then it freezes.

What should I do to treat it with?

Should I try reinstall Manjaro? if so, is there special repository for Pinebook Pro or drivers?
Should I try ubuntu? what about drivers? Will notebook work without any troubles?

Sorry for the noob question cuz I've been out of the loop lately, but I have a Pinebook Pro running Manjaro ARM and noticed a month or two ago that there was an update that broke something. Rather than follow the workaround to fix the issue, I've just been avoiding running new updates and now I have over 400+ updates available.

Is it safe to go ahead an run all of the updates, or are there any possible issues that could occur that I'm unaware of?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Long story short, I ended up sending my PinePhone BH back to Pine in an RMA parcel. Up until this point the support had always replied quickly, within a few days. In their last message, support promised to get back to me once the parcel arrived. Well, tracking has now reported the parcel as delivered for over two months. Support, however, has not even said anything despite my follow-ups asking for confirmation on the parcel.

So, a year from ordering I still don't have the PinePhone.

Thanks to the 5.9 kernel I'm once again able to see my phone (UBPorts CE with the upgraded main board) when I plug it into a computer, which is great. But when I try to transfer files from the computer to the phone I can't open them on the phone (I get various errors, depending on the file type).

At first I thought the files were being corrupted somehow by the transfer, but I just realized that's not the problem. The files are being transferred over with root ownership and permissions, instead of mobian. I know I can go in afterwards with chown to change the ownership to mobian, and then the files can be opened on the phone, but it would be nicer if they could just transfer over with mobian ownership from the start.

Does anyone know how I can transfer files to the phone with mobian ownership already set up?

Thanks!

I just received my laptop, and manjaro-ARM did not detect speakers. No device present...
Anyone has any idea how to deal with it?

I used to be a tinkerer of my Android phones for long time and being an arm device I thought this would be similar. In Android I used an app called Tasker and would create a task with shell commands to change my gov and clock speeds, I guess this would be like cron jobs or similar for the Linux community out there. When I search  how to do this in Manjaro, a lot of other forums suggest to use the Manjaro Setting Manager. Though there isn't a kernel setting within this manager which makes me think it's handled differently on a non arm Manjaro dist. I tried searching the pine forums but with no success. How does one change the voltage and clock speeds of the cpus in Manjaro arm for our pb pros?

Hi everybody.
I have a problem with my pinephone manjaro ce. Recently I decided to flash the internal emmc through the sd card (jumpstart option).
I was surprised to find out that the phone doesn't recognize the sd card (checked via lsblk command), but a phone sim is detected correctly.
Has my phone a hardware fault ? Do I have to config some software option alternatively ? I'm stuck....

Thank you in advance

P.S.
Sorry for my awful english

Here's how we connect PineCone BL602 Evaluation Board to OpenOCD... For flashing and debugging RISC-V firmware

Connect PineCone BL602 to OpenOCD

From time to time my previously well paired bluetooth headphones refuse to keep a connection to my Pinephone.

No matter how many times I rebooted/upgrade, systemctl restart bluetooth, off/on bluetooth back and forth connect attempts repeatedly w/intermittently stopping of bluetooth on the phone. Still, no bluetooth connection sticking (with previously setup and working well bluetooth headphones).

When I viewed systemctl status bluetooth in terminal, I found this (MAC OUI left as is):

I installed KDE Neon on my phone and there is no sound of any kind, I checked all settings and they seem to be normal settings, I know the sound is ok in other o/s like Manjaro.
