PinePhone - boot from microSD

[laserpyramid]

i would still try redownloading towboot again, i had the same issue and a fresh download is what solved it. Even though it would look sucessful, it could still be corrupt geometry dash world

Same issue. Any solution?

Another thing i thought about is checking the sd card itself to make sure that it is wiped fully clean meaning empty with no blocks like you just bought it from the store. Using the disk utility included in linux you should be able to see that on the computer. if using windows you can use disk part and mac idk. hope it helps

Hi! I wiped the microSD fully with diskpart and created primary partition via Windows 10, and then put the OS on it, so the issue is not here, I think.

Anyway, I'll try the boot process with another microSD, but this time with Ubuntu Touch 20.04 on it, because I've already put Manjaro ARM to the eMMC.

I put UT 20.04 onto another 16 GB microSD, but the issue is the same. The phone itself can recognize microSD cards (I can access files from other microSDs, or using JumpDrive etc.), but somehow it's unable to boot from it.

UPDATE:

I downloaded Tow-Boot for the third time, put it to the same 2 GB microSD and installed Tow-Boot to PinePhone again, and now it seems the phone has started the booting process (UT 20.04) from the 16 GB microSD I did the same steps now as before, so it's quite interesting...
