Flash Pinephone Pro image from SD card to eMMC?
#1
Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this eg. no.

I am at manjaro-arm-installer but that does not seem to be for Pinephone.

So... I know for live images eg. Ubuntu via USB there's a nice little button like "install to hard drive".

I think I've read in a few places you're not supposed to flash eMMC from SD card. However it seems there's no JumpDrive yet. I have not looked too much into Tow boot if it's applicable...

Am I supposed to while booted in SD card wipe the eMMC and setup a partition ext4 boot and all that/write the Pinephone Pro Beta 11 image onto eMMC directly?

Just confirm before I brick this device that I just received today.

edit: My main goal is starting the OS from scratch, if there was a factory reset option I would use that (doesn't really make sense, tin foil hat I know).


Oh it's manjaro-arm-flasher not installer my bad, let me try that
Well it's deprecated and meant for Pinebook... ha

Looking into Gnome-Disks restore

Oh wait... this might be for Pinephone only ahh

Also seems like you could just dd an image onto the eMMC but people are saying you should not do that.

Well... I guess I'll wait. I'll use some burner creds on this phone till I can wipe it completely. I don't really want to use the SD card as the main OS drive.
