Couple of weeks ago a seller on Amazon had a bunch of the Rock64 board kits for $7.99 (SBC board, supply case and SD card) i got 4 of em and ive been trying all of the files in the downloads section.

I ran into an issue with one called "Android 9.0 Stock Image [eMMC Boot] using ROCKChip tools method [20190617]" 

The directions says to use the "android tool" put the board into maskrom mode with the jumper then when the tool sees the board pull the jumper off, then flash it. I kept having issues with errors when it went to "check" if the flash was ok it would error out. Then by accedent i downloaded a different version of the tool "2.65" and it actually worked i was trying different eMMc modules, differnt cables, i even thought maybe it was the USB3 and tried USB 2 then by accedent i tried the 2.65 and it worked.

The instructions give a link for version 2.38 and i tried and tried that version with no luck then by accedent i tried the 2.65 because i already had it on my PC from another device and i didnt know it was a different version

I just tried and failed to install foxitreader. Is there anything available?

Also, I get the impression I'm going to have to post on the forum like this for most pieces of software. I was pleased to find https://privacyshark.zero-credibility.net/# earlier as a source of compatible VOIP software. Are there similar places to go for other aarch64 Linux software?

Hello!
This is my first post here so please tell me if I'm breaking any rules.

I bought a PineTab and tried it out for a bit but felt like it wasn't quite for me. I feel like it will be in better use with someone else.

Price ~ 120$ + shipping.
I threw away the original box but everything else is included.
Shipping from Sweden, so I would prefer the buyer to be from Europe.

I think my account is too young to allow private messages so please reply here instead, as I made it to post this post.

"Location services turned off - No applications can obtain local information"

Thats what it says on my phone under privacy settings yet, here I sit looking at the pre-installed Maps application showing my position on the map with a 100 meter accuracy.

Whats up with that?

Do I have to have Flatpak in order for the Gnome apps to work on my Pine Phone? For some reason, just about all of the APPS  i have tried to install either don't install, is unsupported, or doesn't do anything when I launch it. (Definitely, without FLatpak nothing seems supported)

I was just looking for something to play videos.  Within Firefox ESR the videos play great, but do play the video I shot with the camera I could not find anything. Thanks!

The Pine64 site's PineTab page specifications say that the video port is microHDMI.  Looks to me like a miniHDMI connector (I have a microHDMI cable and it does not fit).  Before I go and buy another cable and it's wrong, can someone confirm exactly what connection I should get?

1) How should I access the camera from my program? Is the camera V4L-compatible, requiring C-level programming? Or can I access it with higher level languages like Java?

2) On a related note, how should the hardware be accessed in general? Is everything accessed through the kernel API's, or are there higher level API's?

I've a kernel build with DWC2/3 drivers and dual-role support enabled. I'm unable to see any devices in /sys/class/udc. Is there anyone who has worked on this? As I understand I need:

CONFIG_USB_DWC3=y
CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE=y
CONFIG_USB_GADGET=y
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS=y
CONFIG_USB_ETH=y


I see two controllers:
# ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dwc3
bind  fe800000.usb  fe900000.usb  module  uevent  unbind

I'm not able to get any more information by inspecting that filesystem. For my config, I have:

Hi everyone,

I received my pinephone a while ago however I didn't really have time to fiddle around with it.  I set a password for pmOS but I can't seem to remember it, or maybe I mistakenly touched a different number during password creation.

I bought a 128gb SD card from sandisk, flashed the pureOS image onto the SD using balena etcher ( I also tried with Mobian), but I cannot format the phone to factory settings. I cannot get past the lockscreen, I've seen posts where people have said to chroot, but I don't know how and I don't need any information that is on the phone. I just want to erase the old OS completely and make a new password for pureOS. There's a reset button behind the phone, but it does nothing.

During launch it says "PureOS for Pinephone" but...

As of right now, I am just stuck on the lockscreen of the phone.

Thanks!
