Pinebook pro won't boot after bootloader installation
#1
Hi guys, i bought today a used pinebook pro and i recived it with stock majaro and towboot. i tried to update towboot using

dd if=Tow-boot.spi.bin of=/dev/mtd0

i know it's not the best way to do that but i did it and reboot. Now my pinebook doesen't boot (no light. no sign of life i tried to disable eMMC and boot both manjaro and tow boot from SD card but it doesen't show sign of life and i really don't know what to do. Any help? Big Grin

You'll want to follow the instructions laid out on this wiki page to clear the SPI: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pr...e%2C%20you or this forum post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11976

I'd suggest to make an SD for installing tow boot with this img: https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/rel...007.tar.xz

following the instructions provided here to install it: https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinebookPro.html

This "problem" is an inherent side effect of the way the PBP works. Do follow the link from tophneal's post.
