PmOS is one of the ones that have moved to preferring tow-boot, so it's probably something you needed to do anyway.

First, thank you for your reply and for the links.

Before I made the mistake of erasing the bootloader, I had already tried to reinstall postmarketOS with tow-boot. Alas, oddly, the RE button doesn't seem to work on my device:
- unplug the device
- I remove the battery
- insert the SD card with tow-boot in it
- replace the battery
- press the RE button
- press the Start button…
And there, whether I waited a few seconds or two minutes, nothing happened. I did several times, but nothing :/ And as soon as I stopped pressing the RE button, the system started on the SPI (when it should start on the SD card).

So I guess now - having erased the bootloader - it's more complicated.
In your answer you say: "it ought to use the uSD". I don't know what this "usD" is. Could this help me?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the help Smile

Does the button label actually say "RE" or does it say "RESET"?
