[Possible solution] Stuck on blank screen - kugiigi - 05-19-2020
It seems that being stuck on a blank screen after the pine64 splash screen is a pretty common issue lately. Most of the time it happens after an OTA update but for me, it happened as well when I hard shutdown my PinePhone after being unresponsive.
I'm not sure if this is always the case but here's some steps you can try to recover your UT installation.
- Shutdown your PinePhone.
- Press and hold Power + Volume Up until it boots to the recovery mode screen (one that shows Installing Update)
- Connect your PinePhone to a desktop/laptop via USB cable.
- Check if all partitions in your UT installation, either emmc or sd card, can be mounted. In my case, the userdata is corrupted and cannot be mounted.
- If you found a partition that cannot be mounted, run the command below
sudo fsck /dev/<partition id>example
udo fsck /dev/sdb10 - The command will check for errors and you will be asked if you want to fix them. Just answer Y in those questions.
- Eject your PinePhone and shut it down.
- Turn it on and see if it boots properly now.

can this also happen when flashing newly to the SD card?
