Did I brick it?

Hi all,

While attempting to re-install Mobian, I believe I may have deleted ALL partitions on my PP64. I had previously installed Tow-Boot to the eMMC and all was well. Now, holding the <VOLUME UP> button while powering up and releasing the volume button after the second vibration, the blue LED illuminates for a second, followed immediately by the red LED which flashes 10 times (along with a vibration for each flash), then the phone powers off. The battery is fully charged, but this also occurs when trying to start the phone without the battery installed (USB cable only). The same thing occurs when holding <VOLUME DOWN> and power to attempt to boot from an SD card. I can't figure out how to do anything to correct this since the phone no longers stays powered on. TIA for any suggestions offered.

Bricking is not possible, as zetabeta wrote. Would suggest that you download https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Ju...one.img.xz and flash that to a microSD card using Etcher. Make sure to insert the microSD into the top slot. From there you can overwrite the eMMC again.

Please keep the battery in the device, most distributions won't boot without one or with a fully drained battery.

I managed to reinstall by re-flashing Tow-Boot to an SD card and booting again. Thanks for the help!
