It is a bad idea to use ">" in this case, better use ">>" otherwise it could overwrite content you already have in the file.
You can do it with sudo also like this:
sudo sh -c 'echo "blacklist anx7688" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf'
Or use an editor with sudo:
sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I also read about blacklisting anx7688 on https://www.reddit.com/r/pinephone/comme...d_for_the/ drive mad but it did not work in my case with the PinePhone on Mobian 12 stable.
Sometimes rebooting fixed the slow charging issue but not every time, I checked with the app Powersupply.
I tested with the USB A to C cable delivered with the phone.
If someone has another solution to force charging faster, it would be nice to share.

Update: Making the phone boot automatically by plugging in the charger fixed the issue again but I don't know if it will work every time. In the app Powersupply, I can see the current limit is now 1.5A instead of 0.5A. When the charging percentage reaches around 99%, I noticed it charges more slowly (below 1W instead of 4 or 5W) until it stops at 100%, even if it still shows 1.5A. Powersupply shows 1.5A current when it works properly.

What more information would you like to know?
