I am very new to Linux…

Was wondering if anyone knew the commands for flashing an SD card from the actual pine phone itself???

Appreciate any help, because currently the phone is unusable…. It came with Manjaro….

If your phone is unusable with the current OS then you also wouldn't be able to flash an SD card from the phone itself ... Also I don't see the point in doing it from the phone itself unless you don't have a computer. I guess it would be possible, but I've never tried it. I would highly suggest using a computer for flashing an image, especially if you are inexperienced. You can find flashing instructions here. The wiki is generally a good place to start.

Thank you for your advice, I tried flashing the sd card from a library computer and balena etcher kept giving me error messages such as “flash failed”.
