tow-boot, just bought pinephone pro

I received my PinePhone Pro last week (week of July 22 2024) . I played around with Sailfish OS that came with it for a bit, just to see what it was like.
I have tried Arch with phosh. I then wanted to try Postmarket OS. But this one will not work at all. So I assumed it was a tow-boot. I also tried Kali, but it also would not work. So again tow-boot.
I download the latest tow-boot libreComputer-rocRk3399Pc-2023.07-007.tar.xz .. I write the spi.installer.img to the sdcard using dd if=spi.installer.img of=/dev/sda bs=1M oflag=direct,sync status=progress then put that sdcard into the phone, insert battery. Push the re button and then the power button and hold until something happens.
The phone seems to turn on and all I get is a blue LED light up. Nothing else....
Also, thanks tllim for the factory build link. I guess I meant/clarify if I am to install tow-boot at some point. How do I get the original u-boot back onto the phone?
