I tried with pine64 installer 2.0.0 beta 3 and etcher 1.5.80 to flash 3 different sdcards (samsung, kingstone and another unbranded) with Windows 10 Pro 1909 the following images:
PinebookPro_20190918_stock_android_7.1_sdboot.img.gz
PinebookPro_dd_20190918_stock_android_7.1_sdboot-8GB.img.gz
PinebookPro_dd_20190918_stock_android_7.1_sdboot-16GB.img.gz
PinebookPro_dd_20190918_stock_android_7.1_sdboot-32GB.img.gz
When powering on Pinebook Pro I just wait a couple of seconds more than usual then the default Debian OS start up. Strange is that if I reboot the Debian OS with the sdcard insered I see the rockchip log, then rockchip logo with kernel and then the android screen of erasing with the animated circle. I leaved it so for about 45mins but nothing happened.
Same sdcards can boot without any problems ChromeOS and other Pinebook Pros distros.
After that I tried the eMMC method "Stock for RK Flash tool [eMMC Boot] [20190807]"
downloaded the rockchip android tools 2.63, installed the rockchip drivers (DriverAssistant_v4.5.zip), jumped the eMMC, connected a usb-a to usb-c cable from pc to pinebook pro and started the tools. The tools show correctly "Found One Maskrom Device" but when I try to flash the "PinebookPro_20190807_stock_android_7.1_emmcboot.img" image it stop after few seconds with some IDB error. After that I cannot send any commands from the "advanced" tab and I have to unplug everything, keep down the power button for 10seconds or so then plug it again and power on Pinebook Pro.
Last try with the "Stock Android for DD method [eMMC Boot] [20190807]" was to boot from sdcard with debian OS and exec:
gzip -dc PinebookPro_dd_20190807_stock_android_7.1_emmcboot-64GB.img.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk1
It took a while (more than one hour, maybe I forgot the bs option) and after finishing the procedure and shotted some syncs I rebooted and boom! Android loaded! Yey!
Hope to see Android 9 soon!
