Booting from micro SD card? - ryo - 11-24-2020
I just received the Pinephone today.
It seems like Phosh has no support for Japanese language interface, which was disappointing.
Probably I can opt in for localization, so not a big deal.
If there's no way, make your own way I'd say.
But this is not necessarily the reason to install another OS on it, the main reason is because I just prefer KDE over Gnome.
I flashed the micro SD card like this:
Code:
sudo dd if=Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-dev-pinephone-201107.img of=/dev/sda1 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsyncI inserted the card into the phone, boot up, and the Manjaro Phosh that came pre-installed is booting up instead.
Am I missing something?
Am I supposed to hold one of the volume keys while booting?

I tried to flash using Etcher now, now booting from SD card works.

Don't worry about the "sda1" part, my PC's drive is an NVMe type, so that one is stored on /dev/nvme0n1 instead.Code:sudo dd if=Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-dev-pinephone-201107.img of=/dev/sda1 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync

FYI, you should not dd to /dev/sda1 but to /dev/sda. the .img file is the whole flash image, not a single partition.
/dev/sda is the raw disk. /dev/sda1 is just one partition of the disk.
