PinePhone doesn't boot anymore
When I receive the PinePhonePro one week ago, I had used it booting on the Sailfish OS. It worked just fine.
After some days without charging the smartphone, when I have pressed the power button, I access the bootloader but I can't boot anymore on the preinstalled Sailfish OS.... I have try this a lot of time (the pinephone was "charging" via the usbc) but I can't boot anymore on the preinstall OS... black screen...

So I flash a SD card with Mobian and I correctly boot from the flashed image from the SD card. Then I have flashed the eMMC with the Mobian image from the SD card.
However, when I restart the pinephone I could not access the pinephone bootloader anymore (black screen and green led)...
No bootloader after flasing the eMMC. No vibration anymore. I don't understand why as the mobian has been flashed with mobian installer (without problem it's seems).

So I have try to charge the pinephonepro via a charger. The green LED flashes for more than one night.
=> Still no access to the bootloader. Pinephonepro can't boot, black screen.

So I press the RE button to the pinephone and connect to my laptop to enter on mask mode. No green led on mask mode.
[lapin@fedora ~]$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 043: ID 2207:330c Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company RK3399 in Mask ROM mode
[lapin@fedora ~]$

However I see nothing appropriate to the pinephonepro via lsblk
[lapin@fedora ~]$ lsblk
[lapin@fedora ~]$

I had let the pinephone (witout green led) on mask mode connect to the laptop more than one night.
Still no bootloader and still black screen and green led on power on...

I don't understand what is the problem exactly. Is the battery drained ? Is the eMMC corrupted ?
Can I do something with bus ID from lsusb from the laptop ? Can I access the eMMC from my laptop ?
I don't know if the battery is beeing completly discharged and the phone beeing unnable to charge the battery while beeing turned off.
How can I fix all of this ?

Thanks you in advance for your help.
I would love to be able to use my pinephonepro.
Best Regards
