I do not suggest you do this unless you are comfortable with the flashing process. Even so, it would certainly be a great idea to FLASH A SDCARD NOT THE PHONE eMMC.(snip)
Is there any reason to not just use boot to jumpdrive on a SD and restore an .img whe we want to install to EMMC?
Is there any history of hosed bootloaders?
If not t is not like these phones end up brickworthy when the bootloader always prefers to boot form the SD card so once we have an everyday install and maybe a backup on SD we can also easily experiment with the new release or our own hacks.
It is nice that so far the pinephone feels more like installing to a laptop or perhaps bootable flash drive than what we have come to call flashing a phone or device.
