Pinephone won't boot sd
#1
I'm crossposting from Reddit, so sorry if you read it twice Smile
So... I had UBPorts up and running on my phone. I got greedy and wanted to distro-hop (obviously). I ran the pmbootstrap script from the ubports terminal, and now I can't boot from my sd card (even after reflashing the ubports image). I only get the factorytest interface when I boot. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Running pmbootstrap on the PinePhone itself, to write the same sdcard you booted from is excessively ambitious IMHO!


Build your sdcard on some other machine. The wiki may help.
