FYI, unlike iPhone and most Android devices, a PinePhone is not a consumer toy pretending to be a desktop replacement.
There is no USB flashing (well, there kind of is, but I never got it working), you just install from SD card almost like how you'd install a Linux distro from a USB drive or live CD on a PC.
That alone will do all the wiping, "flashing", and everything you'd expect to get an entirely clean install.
Also, unless you're buying a phone from an FBI or some other government person, why would somebody knowingly hide malware on a phone they are selling in the first place?
