debian+phosh running on PinePhone

Can you tell us a little more about the image you're using.
Positions of your hard switches
Everything can help us to help you.

Here is my process. The PinePhone hard switches are all on and have never been flicked off. I have only been taking the back cover off and battery out and inserting the SD card. Wherever possible, powering off the phone either by menu or with the power button (power cycle).

I prepared the SD card by dd-ing the images obtained by a-wai's website, to the SD card. I usually resize the partition while connected to it by computer before inserting into phone.

However, more recently I skip the SD card and have been using JumpDrive to expose the eMMC and dd directly to eMMC. I usually resize partition then (and iirc the partition is unmounted).

Let me know if you need anything else. See also comment below.

After boot, screen just dims and when turned on, you unlock it...and it simply shows nothing. It is just stuck like this. Impossible to interrupt. Happens across reboots.

See my previous posts please:

What's the content of /sys/devices/platform/soc/1c2b000.i2c/i2c-1/1-0048/iio:device1/in_proximity_raw ?
And what happens if you delete file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-proximity.rules ?

Can you try putting your hand over the phone (top-left corner) and send me the in_proximity_raw value for different distances? (say approximately 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 5cm and 10cm)
Also, what is the value of in_proximity_scale and in_proximity_integration_time in the same folder?

I wanted to give you these but cannot see a way to get through. Unless I have some kind of specialized debugging hardware I wont be able to get the logs you need because I can't ssh into the device. Unless I am missing something, we can't do that right now right? Or is there a preset IP address?

Or if you mean for me to edit the image directly before dd-ing it? Or is there some other tool or step I have missed and should know about?
