It took me a bit to figure out how to do this, and I may have did it wrong so here are the steps I did:

1. Get an microSD card (I got 128 GB)
2. Download Phosh beta1 ISO https://osdn.net/projects/manjaro-arm/st...one/phosh/
3. Followed the instruction for flashing the SD card https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/NOOB#Step-b...roSD_Cards
4. Insert the SD card and put the battery back in

I hoped it would work automatically, but it didn't.  I had to hold the RESET pin hole down for 10 seconds and let go, and then it started working.

It is a little bit slow right now, I am wondering if that is the beta or because it is running from the SD card.  My understanding may be incorrect, but tomorrow I am gonna see if I can install the OS in eMMC using JumpDrive to see if that helps.  JumpDrive steps are talked about here https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone.

I can also confirm that this works. I got a microSD card and I microSD card adaptor for usb. Flashed jumpdrive on the card and then connected my phone to a computer with the usbc cable that was provided with the phone. Once I rebooted my computer, it identified the phone as a storage device. I then used the balena Etcher software to flash the Manjaro Phosh beta1 ISO to the eMMC memory. The steps are here for those who want to flash the eMMC memory instead of the microSD card: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#O...ng_Systems
