tow-boot installation problem
#1
I am working on getting tow-boot to work on my PPP. I can get it installed, but when I boot it up afterwards it will turn the red LED on, and do the vibes thing, then turn yellow and four vibes, it waits a bit before flashing and vibrating like 10 times, then it seems to turn off. Holding down the up volume it acts similarly but turns the light blue first, before turning red and blinking.vibing a few times, pausing, then doing the ten vibe blink thing and turning off. If its on a charger, it just keeps looping that. If it's attached to a computer it never gets recognized, just loops like on a charger. I have gone through the tow-boot several times, watched videos, paid very close attention to detail and it does it every time. I erased the SPI before installing, and same thing. 

I just got the phone this weekend if that helps any. It was running ok with the default manjaro plasma, I did run manjaro phosh off an SD and attempted to install it to emmc, it took forever and I thought it failed/stalled but eventually it said it completed it. It would not boot off it though. In the meantime I was researching stuff and came across tow-boot as the thing to do to make swapping OSes easier so I went for it and here we are. 

Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
