I am on pinephone and am trying to install pmOS to the emmc but when I try to boot to jumpdrive (on a sd card) the led flashes green and doesn't go to jumpdrive.

What Jumpdrive image are you using? Make sure you use the normal Pinephone one, not the "pinephone-charging" one that only does charging (not jump drive mode) and is designed as a last resort if the battery is so low that normal operating systems will not boot. Also make sure that you flashed the image correctly to the microSD card (as a raw image using dd or a GUI frontend to it, not as a regular file – and yes, that will overwrite anything that was previously on the microSD card).
