SD slot damaged, can't boot from SD, what to do?
#5
Mouffa, you're right that the slot is working as well as ever. I put the same Mobian image I downloaded a while back onto the same SD card using dd, and it boots from it again, same as it ever was.

I'm still trying to sort out what happened. Nearly as I can remember I ran Mobian on the SD for a couple of weeks, then decided I liked it and so I pulled it out of the phone and stuck it into the computer and used

sudo dd bs=1M if=/dev/sdc of=~/Pinephone/20200727.img

to make a backup copy. After that, it wouldn't boot from that SD. I tried booting from the Jumpdrive image also, and that image wouldn't boot, either, so I assumed the slot was acting up again. Anyway, the image I saved is apparently broken, and somehow the Jumpdrive image I downloaded from https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Ju.../releases/ is also broken. It's very strange that copying from the SD would mess it up, but I think that's what happened.

I want to flash Mobian to the eMMC, so I need to get a working, updated Mobian image off the SD card, and I need to get the Jumpdrive image to boot. I think I should be using the Jumpdrive image named pine64-pinephone (1).img.xz, right?
