You definitely need an SD card if you wiped your install on the emmc already
if you still have an operating system able to boot , you can install from there or you can install tow-boot and connect to usb and flash directly to the phone

Hi. I have Tow-Boot installed. I used to boot from eMMC or SD. Now my eMMC is session blocked and I cannot ssh from PowerShell so I want to flash a new system on eMMC but I do not know how. Can I use Etcher from windows11?
How? Do I start Pinephonepro with the up volumen where I can see the folders and just burn to eMMC like I do with the SD cards?
Kind regards
Emilio

There are various ways, so here how I did it:
- Boot PPP from SDcard with your favourite distro
- download the image you want to flash onto the eMMC (via phone webbrowser)
- if not installed already, install gnome-disk-utility
- run it: 'sudo gnome-disks'
- select the eMMC, on to top click onto the 3dot menu, select "Restore Disk Image" and select your downloaded image from step2
- wait until its written to storage...
