Hello all:
Please let me know the most recent Mobian image or Mobian installer image which you personally know works on the PP!
I'm having trouble getting a fresh install of Mobian to boot. I've used the Mobian image from 12/28 AND the Mobian installer image from that same date. I'm trying to troubleshoot where the problem lies; could it be with my install of tow-boot? The images from that date? Hardware? To isolate these effects and diagnose the problem, I'd like to use an image which is known to work. Thank you; you're really helping me out!
Some additional info:
I have reason to believe tow-boot was installed correctly: I installed the 2021/10-005 installer of tow-boot to an SD card and used the tow-boot installation GUI to flash it to the eMMC boot partition. Since then, the power on, volume up, and volume down behavior and LED lights has been consistent with tow-boot's docs, suggesting that tow-boot is functioning correctly.
I followed the instructions and didn't make any of the following obvious errors: I verified the sha256 checksums of all images. I unzipped them before dd'ing them. I flashed the right image to the right medium: Mobian image to eMMC via tow-boot's jumpdrive mode, Mobian installer image to SD card. Please do not post a link to the tow-boot or Mobian installation instructions. If you don't trust that I was following those, why bother responding at all?
The order of events is as follows: I try to boot from eMMC, and the LED stays yellow. Nothing ever displays on the screen. I try to boot from the SD card, and the LED stays cyan. Nothing ever displays on the screen. These behaviors are different if there is no SD card, or if the eMMC has been erased: Then it vibes and blinks red. So the phone is recognizing in some manner that the images are bootable in some way, it just never displays anything on the screen of the phone.
