Hi,
Now I've been playing with my phone for a few days my one gripe is that the mobile/phone signal reception is not good, I guess the antenna isn't the best. While the signal isn't brilliant here I've always managed to get a connection.
Is there a port for adding an external antenna - can't immediately see one? Or has anyone tried adding an antenna?

Hi all,
I'd like to adjust u-boot, but I couldn't find /etc/default/u-boot like in my PBP/Debian, how it works in Mobian?

| Using flashrom on PineA64(+) |

Hey guys, wasn't sure exactly where to post this, but I suppose it is an Armbian on PineA64(+) issue?
I'm trying to use my PINEA64 as a chip flasher to install coreboot on the ROM chip of my Thinkpad X220, as of these guides:
https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2016/11/1...pberry-pi/
https://karlcordes.com/coreboot-x220/
These guides use a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian however. I'm using the PineA64+ with 2GB RAM with Armbian buster (Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64)
Although flashrom successfully recognises the chip
Code: sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0
flashrom on Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405D" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Multiple flash chip definitions match the detected chip(s): "MX25L6405", "MX25L6405D", "MX25L6406E/MX25L6408E", "MX25L6436E/MX25L6445E/MX25L6465E/MX25L6473E"
Please specify which chip definition to use with the -c <chipname> option.
It fails to read:
Code: sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 -c MX25L6405 -r read01.bin
flashrom on Linux 5.4.43-sunxi64 (aarch64)
flashrom is free software, get the source code at https://flashrom.org
Using clock_gettime for delay loops (clk_id: 1, resolution: 1ns).
Found Macronix flash chip "MX25L6405" (8192 kB, SPI) on linux_spi.
Reading flash... linux_spi_send_command: ioctl: Connection timed out
Read operation failed!
FAILED.
I initially added this to /boot/armbianEnv.txt to get the SPI interface to work. (previously there was no /dev/spidev0.0 )
Code: overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0
The guide stated to do:
Code: sudo modprobe spi_bcm2835
Which does not exist, so I loaded every module beginning with 'spi' into /etc/modules just to be sure.
I'm using the pinout here to connect the PI-2 interface: http://files.pine64.org/doc/Pine%20A64%2...160119.pdf
I don't really know where to go next in terms of troubleshooting.
Last night I disconnected all the jumpers and set it up again today from scratch with a totally different set of jumpers. I would imagine bad pinout\connections would stop it from recognising the chips also?
I'm using the Debian packaged version of flashrom, I didn't build it from source, in case that's relevant (as I'm having issues getting svn to work)
EDIT: Success! As soon as I posted this thread, I was like "Hmm, maybe I should actually try compiling flashrom from source, that'd be pretty dumb if that was the problem". Compiling flashrom from source fixed the problem and I have got successful reads.
For anyone reading googling this what I did was
Quote:Code: sudo mkdir flashrom && cd flashrom
sudo git clone https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom.git
cd flashrom
sudo make
sudo make install
I got a heap of errors but it worked fine.

I have flashed versions from 20200615 to the latest nightly and they all have the same issue on my Braveheart Pinephone. On booting and entering 1234 the ap drawer is presented and then 2 seconds later the screen goes off . I then no longer have access to the phone. I can unlock it again but to a blank screen. Help ?????

Hi folks,
It seems some of us are having issues with the cellular network in our pinephones and I thought it would be useful if we can get a list of the combinations to try to look for what is the culprit 
HTH
I can start:
Simyo, UB ports devel (OTA 59, but it never worked for me), pinephone ub ports version, Spain

Hello everone,
I just booted postmarketOS from my SD card and logged into it over SSH. I noticed that
takes me to /root and not to /home/user. Is there a reason for that and can it be changed? I tried
Code: usermod -d /home/user user
but it only said

Hi there, I recently received my PinePhone, and while I'm excited about the project, the phone itself is not totally usable, yet. I get that this has been established, while I admit I didn't read the fine print, my old phone still works for now and my PinePhone is something I'll ease into.
My questions are as follows:
- Is it safe to assume my hardware will not need to be upgraded? I'm assuming all the updates from here on out will be software, and sometime — maybe in a few months, maybe a year — I'll be able to use my PinePhone as my primary phone.
- Realistically, when do you think the PinePhone will be more or less ready for prime time? Are we thinking 6 months? A year? Just curious. sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere.
- If I'm going to dual boot, what other OS is the farthest along? I read that the next sound of PinePhones will ship with Postmarket OS, but PinePhone's position seems to be that UBports is the most stable right now. Someone on the forum said Mobian is working best for them.
- Is there any reason not to run the bleeding-edge repos? At this point, if the phone is semi non-functional anyway, It seems the fastest way to get stability would be to move to the dev channel.
Thanks for reading, and for creating this phone. I spent a lot of effort rooting my Android phone, installing lineageOS with no Google Play services, and somehow it still shows me ads based on things I've said in the room. I'm hoping with PinePhone, I'll finally have a phone that doesn't spy on me!
