PP boots into factory test even if flashed sd card is inserted
#2
hmm the steps you executed seem fine (the zap and shutdown aren't really needed, but don't harm in this case). Either the pinephone somehow has issues reading the SD card or something is going wrong with flashing.

If it boots into factorytest it means it didn't load the u-boot from the sdcard so it used u-boot from the eMMC which boots factorytest if it hasn't been overwritten.

do you see 2 partitions on the sd card after puttting postmarketOS on it? it should have a small boot partition and a larger rootfs.
