Then the phone enters what looks like a Command centre with a keyboard at the bottom.Well, a factory MObian CE will have run the installer which prompted you for a password. This is the password prompt when you chose to encrypt the disk. Enter you password and your will be allowed to proceed.
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?
