--- I must have been one of the very early ones to receive as I ordered and was shipped at very end of June 2022. Yippie...
Could you please power down the phone, remove the microSD card and then hold VOLUME UP and shortly hold POWER to power on the phone while still holding VOLUME UP? Does it show any LED colors there?
Yep. Done all that. Hold vol+up on attaching USB cable connected to PC, NO-Sd-Card. I get Red Light and short buzz, red light stays on for 5 or so secs, then double short buzz, then Blue Light.
I have lsblk showing
sde 8:64 1 115.2G 0 disk
├─sde1 8:65 1 12M 0 part
└─sde2 8:66 1 22M 0 part
using KDE Partition Manager I see
sde UMS Disk 0 - 115.25Gib
├─sde1 unknown (type) partition Label = Firmware (Tow-Boot)
└─sde2 ext4 (type) partition Label = spi-installer
From what I almost remember this is normal. All I have to do is add or install which OS I am interested in...
Yes???
OR
No???
Oh!. To install stuff on SD-Card I use the following in order
1. DD
2. UnetBootin (Linux)
I'm not using that "Balena Etcher" thing website mentioned. So... fxc... I follow this
