There was a way to set the Pinebook Pro into eMMC recovery mode where you could flash it over the USB-C.
Or you can overwrite the uboot on the eMMC with the one on the SD card (BE VERY CAREFUL as it can make your computer unbootable at all).
Or you can order the USB to eMMC adapter from the Pine64 store and flash it from another computer.

But start with disabling the eMMC to see if you can boot from SD.
Okay I screwed off the bottom, found the eMMC switch, switched it off, booted up with Manjaro on SD. That worked, I got into Manjaro.

However, now the next problem presents itself: How am I going to install Manjaro on eMMC when it's switched off?
