Okay this is odd...
I tried flashing Plasma Mobile via Windows and Tow Boot by the Volume up method.
It didn't show my MicroSD card but it show Linux device u something 128Gb I knew this was the Pinephone Pro, so I thought no big deal I'll just install it to the phone.
It successfully flashed I get past the PostmarketOS Splash boot screen, but then am in a Console asking me for a login.
How do I do this and would it just be 147147
Or restore it where i can finally get into the phone
I was just wanting run KDE Plasma instead of Mobian. haha
Also came home realized I forgot to power it off plugged it into a higher powered charger to jumpstart it back to life and got this message in the second picture.
FYI I am a Linux newb and flashing androids via Odin and LG Flash Tools has kind of spoiled me, but if I wasn't willing to risk borking this phone, it wouldn't be worth owning or part of the growth and development of this device.

Update oddly enough when I do I Volume up for power off balenaEtcher doesn't detect the sdcard in the Pinephone Pro, this is another reason why I just went ahead and flashed it straight to the device, when I'd boot into Mobian it'd pick up the sdcard and show it's files.
Okay for some odd reason it started right up now suddenly, then again I put a sdcard in my reader, flashed the same image with balenaEtcher again and popped it into the phone and then booted it up and pressed volume down and first it gave me the same old console message then a few other lines and then suddenly KDE loaded
