I got rid of U-Boot and replaced it with Tow-Boot. I listed every step in the process, including a few comments on what I tried that did not work, in this thread:

Next step is to get Arch onto the eMMC.
I have noticed frequent inconsistencies in the instructions provided by Pine64. And not the type that could be explained by language barriers either. In some cases whole steps, which are crucial, are omitted from instructions.
From what I've seen in people's documentation of their experiences with either the Developer or Explorer models, it seems like the "improvements/fixes" made from one to the next, are where most of the problems stem from. Isn't it supposed to work exactly the opposite, when bringing a product to market? How could anyone have tested the Explorer before shipping it and said, "that'll do!"..?
I figured this phone would require a bit of work. I didn't realize that meant it would arrive soft-bricked. I hope steps are being taken to address the disastrous states these phones are arriving in.
In any case, that's why I listed the steps I've taken, so meticulously. Maybe it will be helpful.
