Edit Reason: fix typo

I just got my pinephone yesterday and was very excited to test different distros. The phone can boot from SD card without any issue, but I found that after I flashed the image to eMMC and partitioned my SD card again hoping to use it as storage, my phone just won't boot 
The SD card is SandDisk Extreme 128GB SDXC that I bought the same day I received the phone, and I'm sure it's genuine.
The screen lights up after holding power button but it won't even show things like red led that implies something went wrong, it just straight out won't boot.
I've already tried the dd command from
The phone will boot into the OS I flashed into eMMC if I pull out the SD card.
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
