          You should be able to reflash Ubports with no wipe ,to keep your data.
          I put ,Stable on emmc, and Developers version on an SDcard, to keep up with improvements, things sometimes (but not often) go wrong and you have to allow for that.

            I get that if I start exploring, that I may screw up and need to figure my way out of it. (long time using Ubuntu)
            In this case, just turned it on and off a couple of times, so if there is some common HW problem, just checking
            so I don't dig myself deeper.

              @bjje could also be the clock speed problem. UT crashes so much on my pinephone that I replaced it with Mobian. I may change it back at a later date, but for now I've found Mobian to be the most stable of the pinephone OS builds. There is a uboot flash to fix that with UT on the pinephone forums, but I couldn't get it to work

                Yeah so for the time being, after waiting for years to see UT, I'd just like to use it,

                  I use UT as my only daily driver smartphone os since 5 years now.
                  I chose the MX4 for that purpose.
                  Pinephone is not at the daily driver use level already.

                      OK, It sort of looked like an entry in the FAQ;
                      "I did not install an update and I'm stuck on the Pine64 logo after rebooting"

                      so I tried that and it's back. Looks like you need to update out of the box immediately to keep this from happening.
                      Thanks much all.

                        I reviewed this and must say that mobian looks OK.
                        I always keep my eye on debian, although I have stuck with ubuntu.
                        thanks.

                          Just to be clear, this was my fault. I know that I needed to update AS SOON AS I GOT THE PINEPHONE.
                          I just forgot and turned it on a couple of times and it crashed..... and then you do an fsck. I just didn't know how to do it in UT.
                          Maybe make it so that a 10 year old can find it in the FAQ?
                          Is there a way to tag as solved in this forum?
