If the bootloader is present but failing then you'll need to use the RE button as detailed in the tow-boot installation instructions. 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

Hello...can someone help me? I'm really lost :/
