I will tell you, I purchased the UBPorts version of this phone. The Mobian install works 10,000 times better than the UBPorts software that came preinstalled. I am running it off the card. Trying to see if there is any reason I would want to keep a piece of software on this phone that does not work. Namely the entire install.I replaced the Ubuntu Touch OS with Mobian on the eMMc and I have no regrets. I just tried Ubuntu Touch on an SD card and it's still as buggy as the day I first tried it.
I used the 'status=progress' flag for the dd command, which gives you a progress bar as the image is being flashed. The PinePhone's LED blinks red while the image is being written. Mobian took ~10 minutes. There's a stickied thread on the forum for flashing to eMMc as well.
Code:
sudo dd if=mobianImage.img of=/dev/sdX status=progress
