How to reinstall a broken OS on Pinephone's internal storage?
#2
So I've had a bit of a dig on the forums here, and found some excellent advice from member SwordfishII.

He/she suggests the following steps for flashing an OS image to your phone's internal storage. For this you need Jumpdrive and balena Etcher or a similar image-flashing program. Jumpdrive allows your PC to write to the internal phone memory, which appears as a mass storage device when connected via USB cable.

SOFTWARE
-----------------------------------------------
Download Jumpdrive from GitHub: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Ju...e/releases
For flashing, use balena Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

STEPS
---------
1) Download Jumpdrive from Github and flash it onto a microSD card
2) Insert the new Jumpdrive microSD card in your phone and reboot it
3) Plug your phone into your computer using a USB cable
4) Flash your operating system image of choice directly onto your phone's internal storage
