No partitions are defined for mount

Hellooo

I need help. Ive just got the pinephone (mobian) and when I am trying to install mobian gives me the configuration error No partitions are defined for mount.

I am trying to flash th emmc but my Mx linux does not recognise the pinephone

Any solution? (Besides flashing the MIcroSd card and run through there with any os image

Thanks a lot

Are you using the correct jumpdrive? See wiki. There's one for 2Gb PP, 3Gb PP, and Pinetab

I had the same problem, flashed jumpdrive on an SD and then flashed mobian again on the device. Seems like some step in the default install was messed up. No problem now with Mobian running.

I just got my Pine Phone today. I booted it up and started the installation process for Mobian Bullseye Phosh arm 64. In the middle of it (I guess it wasn't plugged in all the way), it died on me. Now whenever I boot it up trying to do the installation it also tells me: "Installation Failed. Configuration Error. No partitions are defined for mount to use." Any help / guidance would be much appreciated. I'm somewhat new to Linux, so as much detail as possible would be greatly appreciated.

Same here, though I mistakenly thought the battery was already connected to the phone and therefore hold at least a few seconds of a charge before switching wall outlets.

Would the OS just need to be re-flashed? My only concern is that I don't see how that might fix this partition issue.

Don't worry about the partitions. The new flash will fix it.

If you did break the installation here is a pretty good detailed video on how to re flash the Pinephone and start fresh.

It would be pretty hard to brick a Pinephone permanently. They're almost idiot proof. You let the screen go to sleep during the update. Don't let that happen. Read the blog here about that.

You shouldn't use the latest image. They are broken. Use the installer image if you want an encrypted drive and update it as per the blog instructions I linked in the first post. This is the factory image that comes on the Mobian CE Edition. The encrypted installer image. Bottom one.gz

If encryption isn't important to you and you want less updates to download. the latest image not broken is this one. Still run the updates in the blog. Choose the Feb-10th .gz

If you want to tweak or learn more about Mobian this is an excellent source.

Keep Mobian updated following the instructions in that blog probably every couple days because updates are rolling out quickly. It's getting very reliable.

If I helped you please rate +1. It helps make up for the lousy pay I get working here.

Just took delivery today, got the "Installation Failed" message with text: "Configuration Error No partitions are defined for mount to use.", and I'm here looking for answers. I pushed the "reset" button, followed the instructions again, and the same message appears. I'll follow the links here and hope.
