PP boots into factory test even if flashed sd card is inserted
#1
Hej guys,

I finally got my pinephone and I am stoked by how much has been achieved so far!

Obviously I was super intent to flash my pinephone and get it to work asap (at least, what "working" currently means). I chose pmOS.

Unfortunately, I have, so far, been unable to get pmOS to work when flashed to a microSD card. Whenever I insert the SD card, which I flashed on my linux desktop, in the pinephone, the pinephone boots into the factory image. Am I doing something wrong, have I missed something?

Here's what I did:
1) Install pmbootstrap and pull
2) pmbootstrap status
2) Insert SD Card with adapter (it is /dev/sdc)
3) pmbootstrap init (tried several times, both with "phosh" and "plasma mobile"
4) pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdc
5) pmboostrap zap && pmbootstrap shutdown
6) insert sd card in pinephone, start pinephone

Before I did these steps, I already tried flashing the sd card with the newest (04/10) image using etcher. The same did happen, that is, it did not boot into pmOS but brought me to the factory test image instead.

Any help is greatly appreciated :-)
