Having difficulty installing PostmarketOS on Pinephone Convergence Beta edition

[spazz]

have you  tried etcher ?

the dd didn't work for me but etcher did

Thanks ezik. 
That's a good suggestion, but this would probably be a bit of a last resort. 
I might try the app-image version of etcher if absolutely nothing else works, 
but I hesitate as etcher is not found under standard debian repos, and has to be downloaded from a third party's website. 

dd should work, and it is mentioned in all of the documentation (postmarketOS and pinephone documentation). 
It's also the standard / default tool in gnu/linux for flashing bootable images to media.  
I'm sure there is probably just something I am missing. 

Perhaps the block size option with a specific size. 
Or something else entirely. 

Thanks again though. Good to know that might work if all else fails. 
Will keep that suggestion under my hat (:
