I just received my PinePhone and one the first things I like to do is replacing the current operating system (Manjaro) with Mobian. So I googled up the instructions and ended up at
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=install. I am using the JumpDrive method as it sounded the most comfortable but I am kind of stuck. I managed to flash the JumpDrive image to an SD card using Balena Etcher. But according to the instructions I am supposed to boot the phone from SD next. But I have no clue how to do that. I read somewhere it is supposed to boot automatically when I insert the SD in my phone, which I did. But nothing happens. I also checked the SD card for damage, but that is not the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
With kind regards,

If you flashed Jumpdrive correctly, then insert that SDcard in your PinePhone, switch on the phone and you will be presented with the Jumpdrive screen on your phone. If this does not happen then 99.9% likely your flash of Jumpdrive is bad. Once Jumpdrive boots OK you can plug a cable between your PC and the phone and flash from your PC to the eMMC.
