Is it possible the eMMC is damaged, or did I screw up somenthing with Jumpdrive? Manjaro Plasmal Mobile from card starts up normal.
before going on some deeper things. i recommend command "sync" after flashing, whatever is the flash command. more experienced users usually use command "dd". "sync" guarantees that writing buffers are written to the disk. some cases "dd" or other program does it afterwards by itself, but not in all cases.
i also noticed a weird bug in a host system, that it sees sizes of pinephone memories wrong, of course flashing fails. reboot helps, but reinserting cards or cable do not. "lsblk" helps.
