Cannot boot from microSD
#1
Bug 
Hello, I recently got my PineTab and I want to install an OS other than Ubuntu Touch. But I cannot get my PineTab to boot off of the microSD card no matter what I do.
I don't think my microSD card reader is broken because Ubuntu Touch can detect my microSD cards, but not mount them.

What I've tried:
4 different microSD cards from 3 different brands
4 different operating systems (Mobian, Arch, postmarketOS, Jumpdrive)
4 differents ways of burning them to the SD card (dd, etcher, GNOME disks, pmbootstrap)
And I have been extracting the compressed ones.

What I did before I opened this thread:
Read all the Pine64 wiki pages on the PineTab
Asked about it in the Pine64 PineTab chatroom.

I haven't still been able to figure out this issue by myself, so I have opened this forum thread.
