Then the phone enters what looks like a Command centre with a keyboard at the bottom.Sounds like you corrupted your installation or initial update. Don't worry you didn't ruin anything permanently and it's easily fixed. That first keyboard at the bottom is your decryption keyboard to decrypt the phone. Read this thread linked below, watch the installation video on flashing and read the Mobian update blog. The thread is pretty short and all the instructions and resources/file links are there. It will all be ok and you will be a lot smarter when you are done. Welcome to the forum.
No matter what I enter, I get this string momentarily before I'm back at the keyboard: begin: mounting root file system ... Begin: running scripts/local-top ...
These are the six icons I see when looking at the pinephone's contents on my mac: boot.scr, image.gz, initramfs.gz, sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.0.dtb, sun50i-a64-pinephone-1.1.dtb, sun501-a64-pinephone-1.2.dtb
The phone also only boots up when connected to a power source.
Will I need to get an SD card and try to follow the instructions to flash a new OS onto the phone that way? Anyone else encountered this problem?
