I Got A Bit Too Flash Happy (Help)

[dorkydev]

I wasn't paying attention and accidentally installed Factory SailfishOS and overwrote the Tow Boot, I attempted to finish the installation and click the two prompts after clicking "whatever" part 1 and where it asked if I wanted to encrypt phone which I chose no then told me to Reboot after it was done processing. 

Now all it does when I power on is the green led just flickers a few times and that's it.

But when what I want to do is install Ubuntu Touch.

Do I need Tow Boot or uBoot

Are you sure you have a PinePhonePro?
If you have a PinePhonePro, tow boot should be on the SPI.

I managed to fix it.

Yes but the factory image for SailfishOS wipes out TowBoot and installs uBoot:
Sailfish with RK2AW ppp-factory-image-20231118.img.gz is the one that installed uBoot on me

I grabbed a TowBoot image off the GitHub extracted it then burned the installer image with BelenaEtcher

I discovered though no Ubuntu touch has a working camera though so I'm back on Mobian

Congratulations on fixing it, I will save the way you did it so that when necessary I can use it right away without having to search for it.

Not anymore, at least not as shipped. The PinePhone Pro now ships with rk2aw on the SPI. You can overwrite it with Tow-Boot if you wish, but it does not ship that way anymore.
