New Pinephone is dead. eMMC, boot, hardware issues.
#1
Brand new PinePhone received today (not pro.)
Would not boot out of the box. Stopped at KDE logo.
I wrote image to SDCard and booted the phone from it. No problem.
Once in the Pinephone I DD'd the same image to the emmc. It completed but when I rebooted, it was stuck in a boot loop. (Turn on, vibrate, turn off.)
I booted from the SDCard again and no problem.
Another flash to the emmc and the phone shutdown at some point. It was plugged into power and charging.
I then booted it again and tried to flash again. It crashed at a different point.

Now it won't turn on at all. It is black and has zero lights or response.
- On battery alone
- On battery + power
- On power alone

I think I destroyed my new Pinephone in less than an hour.
