[Solved] How I got fsck.f2fs to get unstuck and fix not booting PP
#1
My PinePhone (v1.2, 3GB running Mobian testing from eMMC) was low on battery and the red USB C cable was not perfectly plugged so it got unplugged, the PP abruptly turned off and ... it would not boot again Confused . That was the first time ever I got this problem, in 11 months of daily driving (no other phone), and a lot of drained batteries (thats bad, I know...).


tldr: to fix it I flashed Mobian on a micro sd card, then fsck.f2fs was not working but after I mounted / unmounted /dev/mmcblk2p2 I retried fsck.f2fs which then surprisingly worked and apparently fixed any problem left.


More details:

First log I got using the UART cable:

The root filesystem on /dev/mmcblk2p2 requires a manual fsck


After that here is what I would got when running fsck:

Then I was able to mount then unmount /dev/mmcblk2p2 from Mobian running on sdcard, and I got fsck to work:
