I'm using the Pinephone CE UBports edition, and have reset it to get rid of any settings that may interfere with this.
I've tried rebooting the laptop with the phone plugged in, I've tried rebooting the phone while plugged in, nothing.
the sd card seems to be good. Etcher reported no problems, and before flashing jumpdrive on it, I had stored a Mobian image on it which worked with no problems.
I'd really like to run Mobian off the emmc and I don't care how I get there, but I'm stymied. the mobian_installer utility fails, but that's for other reasons (it wants glibc 2.29, UBports is using glibc 2.23. I suppose I could try installing it by booting mobian from the sd card and then installing the OS from it, but installing a running OS just sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Had the same issue. Try a different USB port, lower power ports seem to have issues mounting. Etcher worked fine for me assuming the OS can see the mounted eMMC.
