I am trying to put arch-arm onto it, I've flashed the microSD, put it in the phone, but I cannot get the phone to boot from it or boot into recovery mode. I have tried every method I could find. Every time it either boots into the current os, or the led flashes red a bunch of times and the phone vibrates a lot before just turning off again. I have tried multiple SD cards and multiple flashes. No clue where to go from here it's been driving me nuts all week.

technically speaking, there is no "recovery". you probably meant tow-boot's usb mass storage mode. if there is a screw up in tow-boot, you probably need to reinstall it, https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephonePro.html .

you may have to use "re" button to boot sdcard, https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Pro#Boot_order .
