Download an operating system from the Pine phone wiki, then use Balena Etcher App to flash the O.S. to your sd card.
Insert the sd card into the correct upper slot inside the phone, you must remove the battery to access this slot.
The lower slot is for your phone carriers sim card.

I hope this helps,  Welcome to the Pine64 forum

Yeah. another reported their phone came with the wrong OS flashed on their phone. No telling what is going on there.

Edit: I just heard in IRC a couple of people complaining theirs also did not boot, and had to reflash it.
