PineTab 2 Login Failure - cptijerina - 06-07-2023
I just received my PineTab2 and I'm disappointed that I cannot successfully log in. I booted it up and tried logging in with the default password, but the screen freezes. I tried this several times before deciding to download the DanctNix Arch Linux image from the PineTab2 wiki. I followed the instructions and flashed the image to an SD card with Balena Etcher. I then connected the included USB to UART connector with the switch in the On position and the newly flashed SD card inserted in the PineTab2. From there my experience differs from what is in the wiki. Upon booting, I get the PineTab2 Factory Tool screen. One of the menu options is to Flash OS to eMMC. I tried that and it appears to flash the OS image. When I try booting the tablet up without the SD card, I get the same results. Log in with the default password and the screen freezes. Not sure what else to do. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
Never mind my last post. I finally was able to log in. I guess flashing it a fourth time was what worked.
