PineTab2 freezes on login

[J-S]

Just received my PineTab2 and am having some difficulty getting logged in. It boots up to the login screen OK.  In the lower-left it is defaulted to "Desktop Session: Plasma (Wayland)". When I entered the correct password for user "alarm", the screen locked up. I waited a few minutes, but nothing, so I hard power-cycled it. If I enter the incorrect password it does its little head shake thing and says Login Failed, but the correct password always results in locking up. So I tried switching it to "Desktop Session: Plasma (X11)". A little more success this time. I get the black & white chevron and three circles logo. The first time I tried X11 I then got the little KDE info wizard.  Step through that OK, but when I hit [Finish] the screen goes black and unresponsive.  Subsequent attempts to login it skips the info wizard and goes straight to blackscreen.

Greetings!

I had exactly the same problem that you mention, so it could be that a whole batch of tablets has been flashed incorrectly but in the same way. For me, flashing again the factory image according to the instructions in the wiki solved the problem entirely. I agree that the position of the card holder is a bit too deep but I managed to insert it pressing the card with my nail.

All in all, I would suggest to anyone with this problem to reflash the factory image.

Best regards!
