PinePhone Pro not detected by my PC

[Syndicator]

I think you're trying to boot an image for the regular PinePhone here. Trying to boot images for the regular PinePhone such as "JumpDrive" won't work on the Pro. Mind that you need to download your images via https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...e_Releases.

For reflashing the eMMC you don't use MTP. Instead you boot an OS via the microSD card (for example Manjaro) and then you write the image directly to the eMMC from within that booted OS, for example using "dd". I would recommend to follow the instructions here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC

Update I dd'd the Manjaro phosh to the eMMC and well now it doesnt load at all it wont even boot from SD card now. It stays stuck loading I'll post a picture later I'm too tired to keep dealing with this need to get up early for work.



Thanks for making me realize my error though fxc.

You can simply boot from microSD card again and "dd" again, just select the microSD card at boot using Tow-Boot. Make sure you're unpacking the archive and that you flash to the whole drive, instead of partition 1. Best if you write the exact command you use here.

I cannot boot from SD card. I would post the images  here but they're too large evidently I'm not able to post anything above 500kb.

I used this

Code:

sudo dd if=IMAGE.img of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC

followed the instructions to the T. When I boot normally and try to boot holding the power and vol+ I do get a sligthly diff error but I cannot boot all the same.

EDIT: upon rereading the instructions I realize what I did wrong.  I didn't wipe the bootloader from the eMMC using
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=64 count=400 conv=fsync

Aigh that's what I get for not taking a step away after being frustrated and being given the simple answer.
I am guessing there is no solution to this.
