        Hello,

        I had Ubunto touch running with a February 8th image, I just tried flashing the latest one (April 18th ) and it does not boot. Are there known issue with latest build ? Is there one from a particular date I should try. I flashed the old image from Feb 8th and it did boot fine.

        Thank you,

        Alexandre

              The wifi drivers has many issues.
              Have a look at gitlab there is a ticket and a workaround this issue.

                I tried the usuall things then decided to flash #310 to emmc , but it would not recognise mmcblk0 and ssh would not connect.
                So I tried Jumpdrive, on an sdcard and #310 .img from my PC , very simple ,what was all the fuss about .
                Worth testing ,if you have not tried it.
                (From #306 )

                            Hi
                            I installed build #8 and #9 to an sdcard, it's really hard to boot to the OS I had to try tens of time to pass the "get started"...
                            Did you have the same issue ?
                            And out of curiosity how did you put the OS to the eMMC ? Using dd or other ?

                              I just flashed #9 to the emmc this morning and I must say the OS is looking much better.I haven't touched the phone for a month but progress has clearly been made.

                              Nice work devs!

                                @AppLee the first time /emmc/ #7 on my pc ,extracted, and jumpdrive on sdcard , connected to pc then started pinephone, and used Balena-etcher to install ,takes 18 minutes ,because of the size.
                                2nd time #8 onto sdcard using Balena-etcher , because i couldnt get the sim / apn to work and didnt want to mess with the emmc

                                used OTA function to upgrade #7 on emmc to #9 ( worked a treat ),
                                whilst changing sources ,it started downloading ,i could not see the download indicator immediately, once i did , i left it alone.

                                if you use jumpdrive for another OS, may be better to adjust the size, before you start

                                      @Marathon2422 said in Pinephone (braveheart):

                                      I have not due to the poor battery life. I need a phone so my OPO has the sim card.

                                      This switch to OTA updates makes me more willing to try as I didn't want to reset my settings every update.

                                        i just got phone and messaging working, the screen that asks if you want 2g/3g .or 2g/3g/4g/ i left that alone ,did not set anything - checked the reseller/reseller- apn without changes and entered apn for internet/mms . and checked that. now it works" sometimes the signal strength meter is empty with a cross / or is completely full, but still works.
                                        i usually get about a third strength reading
                                        but it works now
                                        i have not tried pics yet.

                                        BH and # 13 on sdcard

                                            I just tried to flash #17 to emmc using JumpDrive (as explained on the pine64 wiki) and BalenaEtcher. Balean checked the image and said everything went fine but I have a black screen with only the led turning red when I power on. @mariusbfs are the current builds for pinephone broken?

                                              I had this behavior with the led staying red.
                                              Holding the power button 5s turns the phone off.
                                              Then I tried again several times and at some point I had the phone booting.

                                              As a scientist I don't believe in voodoo, but I don't get the dark magic behind this behavior ???
                                              I look crazy when I try and retry the exact same thing expecting another outcome 😄
