I've used dd and this balena etcher program to flash the image to an SD, I've mounted the SD on my distro just to see if the files were written successfully and they are but no matter what I try (JumpDrive or OS image) I can't seem to get anything to boot.. I'm confident that I've flashed the SD correctly but you explained you were having trouble originally with this what was your solution/issue?My original Solution was "just flash the SD Card again", which you probably did already. (yes the SD Card looked perfectly correct to me, just like it did look to you)
Did you unxz the Jumpdrive .img File first so that the extension of it was clearly .img?
Did you use the latest Version of Jumpdrive? Because older ones dont work on the newest PinePhones. You need 0.6 and higher.
Did you make sure you didn't just have a bad SD Card? It can happen to anyone, even if unlikely.
Did you try flashing a different Operating System onto your "broken" SD Card to see if the Phone can boot from it?
And once you successfully installed Jumpdrive, make sure the Battery is full before using it, or else it will not be recognized as USB Device (the telnet thing wont work either).
The Battery will charge slowly if no working Operating System is installed, but it will work from any USB Port, and you can use the included Red Cable for it just fine. It also does Data perfectly fine too. The only reason it is Red is, because Qualcomm Quick Charge can interfere with things otherwise (those cables have better shielding), so they made sure that people know which USB cable is which by painting it Red.
I hope that helped. ^^
P.S. Make sure you don't write inside your quoted text.
