Hi @nristen , sorry to hear you've been having trouble getting the SD Card images to boot - @bcnaz 's suggestion of using Balena Etcher is probably the best way to be sure that you've got the image on the SD Card: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

It's advised to be very careful when using dd as it is possible to write to a disk that you didn't intend to, so something like Etcher will make this much less likely!

An easy way to see how your disks are named is to use the Gnome Disks program as it will give you a visual representation of your disks and you can check what each ones are in '/dev/sdb' or '/dev/mmcbkl0' or '/dev/nvme0n1' terms where it says Size, Device, Contents.
(https://apps.gnome.org/en-GB/app/org.gnome.DiskUtility/)

On one of my laptops, inserting an SD Card will use the /dev/mmcbkl0 naming style, although I have another laptop that runs on an nvme drive (which shows up as /dev/nvme0n1) and inserting an SD Card in that one shows up as /dev/sda so checking with Gnome Disks is the easiest way to know for sure.

As far as my experiences go, when I first got the Pinephone Pro it wouldn't charge from the 2A charger I normally use, but after updating the software it is no longer quite so picky and will happily charge from that same charger without any problems.

If your pre-installed Manjaro Plasma update failed initially, it might still be a bit choosy about the power source for charging (and 'turning the phone off to charge' doesn't currently work as the phone will boot if plugged in to a charger - possible hardware/software/firmware issue) so try to make sure that the battery is charged up using the known good charger you used before and I'd recommend using Etcher to get the Mobian PinephonePro image onto the SD Card and see if that works better.

Let us know how you get on and hopefully it'll help someone else who experiences similar issues!

Kindest Regards,
phelion
