I have had 2 weeks to play with my 2gb Pine64, but could not get it to boot completely even once. I changed OS to burn with (Linux & Windows 10), beefed up the power supply, and unplugged every extra peripheral. Here's what finally worked:

  1. Downloaded the current Android image (Pine A64 Android Lollipop Image Rev 2016012)
  2. Used WinRAR to decompress the archive (I believe this was the big change - was using 7Zip)
  3. Used Allwinner PhoenixCard Bootable SD-Card Creator to format and burn the image (Larson's video was helpful)
  4. Inserted into the Pine64 and powered on with only power and HDMI plugged in.
It worked.  Big Grin
