No rk2aw boot menu - jebez - 07-05-2025
I finally bought a PinePhone Pro.

"To enter the menu, you just need to keep holding the power button when powering up the device, until the LED indicator stops flashing."
But nothing, black display for me...

Is the phone new from the factory? AFAIK rk2aw is not installed in the factory.

I not think so:

"If the SPI only contains rk2aw (like phones ordered after November 2023)"
Is the SPI rk2aw boot menu displayed for anyone?

Hello,
Yes I get the menu. I have rk2aw installed on the SPI.
See this post for how I installed it (I use Arch Linux)

Here is a video of the U-Boot menu I get

dd https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases/download/beta14/Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephonepro-beta14.img.xz on a microSD card
plug the microSD card to the PinePhone Pro
boot it
Terminal: https://pine64.org/documentation/PinePhone_Pro/_full/#install-rk2aw
reboot the phone

Still nothing, black display for me.
A hardware bug so?!

I do not think it is a hardware bug.
Are you sure you installed the rk2aw to the SPI?
In your previous post, putting an image on the MircoSD will not install rk2aw to the SPI.

My bad!

I not watched the video & entirely read this website, "How rk2aw works", the "menu" is only the LED blinking, no display...

Ahh! Yes. Did you also install a U-boot menu? In my video, you can see the LED Blink and then you see the U-boot menu. Both rk2aw and the U-boot are included with the rk2aw install script.
When powering ON let go of the power button the second you see the LED turn on/bliink.
