New Pinephone Pro won't boot, not even in recovery mode
#11
Can you provide more details ?

Have you changed the eMMC  such as wiping the bootloader or something. ?

1)  I did put a fully charged battery in before turning on my Explorer Pro for the first time.  --> ( I don't know if that was necessary-- but I did it ) 
          A  two second power button press to start --->  I tried out the factory installed O.S.  ---> and I did not like it.

2)  I put in an sd card with the newest Mobian/bookworm (For P.P.Pro) flashed to it. --->  I turned on the phone with a 5+ second power button press.
      The phone then booted from the sd card.
        
   Dodgy  From the mobian operating system ---> I was able to kill the evil Manjaro on the eMMC,  ---> now it boots straight to the sd card.

Last I added the sim card,  and then put in the APN settings  --->  earlier I even wrote a post  here on the forum using my new Explorer phone,
talk, text, and data are working,  and charging appears to have stabilized or at least improved.

*  I doubt your problems are anything major,  the simplest answer is probably correct,  Maybe just an incorrectly flashed sd card ?

 
NOTE :  Explorer Edition  (Mobian bookworm)

The boot indicator light is not currently working  !

The operating system still does boot,  but just no boot indicator light.

A bit un-nerving looking at that black screen,  and waiting,  be patient,  it still boots.
