Interrupted during 1st boot- is it bricked?
#1
We just got a Pine64 today and plugged it in.

During the boot and installation process, the power cord got unplugged. The phone was in the middle of extracting files and/or mounting partitions when this happened. Sad

Now the phone starts the install but after entering a PIN, it fails almost immediately with this error:

Installation Failed
Configuration Error
No partitions are defined for mount to use.


Is the Pine64 bricked? If not, how can we reset it back to bare metal and do the install again?
