Thanks to you, I managed to revive the PPP after a month of torment and reading forums - when I already thought that I would have to throw it away or sell it for parts, since it did not recognize any charged batteries and all because of an attempt to plug into it an allegedly analogue of the battery described here from a Samsung 2014 release. And apparently something broke in the mathematics of the motherboard, and it produced any artifacts - a red signal, yellow or continuous vibration, it could be flashed, it still perceived the pressing of the upper or lower key and the blue indicator was on, but loading did not occur, so we can conclude that The PE key still doesn’t just load from the SD card - it resets something in the motherboard and fixes the math - thanks to a very short press, it was possible to boot the system - although I wanted to flash it
TOW boot and in theory it should have booted from the SD card. It is noteworthy that I even successfully formatted section 128 eemc with a blue light and Makos said that everything was erased - but the system, which remained a mystery to me, turned out to be untouched. maybe this will help someone
This description makes no sense. The RE button is not required to be used anymore, all PinePhone Pros ship with Tow-Boot pre-installed to the SPI flash memory chip in the phone. The vibrations and LED colors come from Tow-Boot.
When you hold VOLUME UP at boot it will boot the USB Mass Storage mode, which shows the blue LED color. From there you can flash the phone via USB. Please read the bottom of https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephonePro.html
