I Got A Bit Too Flash Happy (Help) - dorkydev - 11-04-2024
I wasn't paying attention and accidentally installed Factory SailfishOS and overwrote the Tow Boot, I attempted to finish the installation and click the two prompts after clicking "whatever" part 1 and where it asked if I wanted to encrypt phone which I chose no then told me to Reboot after it was done processing.
Now all it does when I power on is the green led just flickers a few times and that's it.
But when what I want to do is install Ubuntu Touch.
Do I need Tow Boot or uBoot

Are you sure you have a PinePhonePro?
If you have a PinePhonePro, tow boot should be on the SPI.

I managed to fix it.
Yes but the factory image for SailfishOS wipes out TowBoot and installs uBoot:
Sailfish with RK2AW ppp-factory-image-20231118.img.gz is the one that installed uBoot on me
I grabbed a TowBoot image off the GitHub extracted it then burned the installer image with BelenaEtcher
I discovered though no Ubuntu touch has a working camera though so I'm back on Mobian

Congratulations on fixing it, I will save the way you did it so that when necessary I can use it right away without having to search for it.

If you have a PinePhonePro, tow boot should be on the SPI.
