i think you have a .... big issue. you probably need some kind of other device, although android is not good.

Someone on pine64 web irc gave me commands to do this but it didn’t go through….

Thank you

PS.  Right now I can’t use the internet and my phone calls are just static…. Also the font size changed by itself… It is so small I can barely read it, and there is no option to change it…….
assuming you have memory card, which is big enough, i think at least 8GB. you could flash operating system to the memory card instead of internal eMMC. and maybe after that install into internal card (again).

maybe question is what you have there.

you probably have manjaro plasma mobile?

do you have manjaro image file in the pinephone? hint: https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/pho...tag/beta17 , manjaro phosh is one option of many.

do you have memory cards, and what sizes?

i don't know all the details, i cannot be super specific but i think command is something like this in pinephone o.s..
$ sudo dd bs=1M if={filename} of=/dev/mmcblk#
this command is dangerous! and it may seriously destroy the running o.s., so you need know which memory booted. /dev/mmcblk0 would be for external card, /dev/mmcblk2 for internal card. {filename} needs to be image file, xz (or other compressions) need to be unpacked. usually .img.xz > .img

alternatively if possible, try to use computer and install o.s. directly to memory card and then insert mem card into pinephone. this does not need jumpdrive. image files needs to be installed to the whole memory card, not to the partitions or inside filesystems.
