Forum Revamp

[tllim]

I have posted a useful threads sticky and a quickstart guide sticky (until such time as an official one pops up), in accordance with some of the advice offered here. Please continue to submit ideas and suggestions for improving the forum. Thanks.

Thx, you (or anyone still interested in improving the quality of documentation here) should also use some links to 'resolved' threads where people report that their 'genuine' cards are fake cards or tried a smart charger just to realize that the "2.4A" written on it do not apply to the Pine64 since this device only gets 500mA and will never boot or that they simply weren't patient enough and simply interrupted the burn process which obviously will result in a bricked board later.

http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...58#pid4458 (using such a fake card you will succeed burning a Linux image that will later fail and you will always immediately fail with an Android image since here Phoenix Card already 'detects' the fake and stops with an Error, I explained that many times in the meantime and won't spend any time on this any longer)

EDIT: I tried to explain the issue one more time (to be able to link to): http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=681
