Flash Pinephone Pro image from SD card to eMMC?

[fxc]

if I get your question right:

- download the newest image for your phone: [KDE](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-...pro/100272) or [Phosh](https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-arm-...pro/104120)

- flash it to a SD card

- boot from the sd card (maybe you need to push the RE button on the backside of phone to boot from sd)

- then install gnome-disks

- download the image again from the link to your phone, unpack it.

- run gnome disks, remove all partitions from the mmc, then in the top right menu click: Restore Disk Image

- select the unpacked manjaro image and write it to mmc

thats it.

I'm sure there other ways, I solved it like this and it works.
If you run mobian from SD, it will ask you if you want to install directly to mmc, every distribution is it doing their own way....




just

"run gnome disks, remove all partitions from the mmc, then in the top right menu click: Restore Disk Image"

no go.  permissions problems in deleting partitions and in restoring img.  Can't get past this step.  Need way to start gnome-disks as root.

Same advise for you, flash it as explained in the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC. You just need to replace the filename of the image file in the command, so "dd is too complicated" is really no excuse.
