What OS have you recently flashed onto PBP eMMC?
#2
I wish people would, if they have something works, would make a backup to return from a screwup
I also blame pine64 for not having a factory approved uboot and dtb template
(replace /dev/emmc with right /dev/mmcblkX)
dd if=/dev/emmc bs=1M |gzip >orig-img.gz ,, from & on a mounted usb stick maybe 16G

Many recent images don't seem very reliable, also the uboot that is part of this image
Try an earlier version, at worst the wifi won't work, but there are work arounds for that
If you only want to change DE (desktop environment) just add the packages, maybe task-xfce4
If you have something working, don't be too eager to change it, at least without a FULL backup
This especially applies to uboot
