@libremax
sure glad i ordered mine a.s.a.p.

@Eric put /flash jumpdrive to a small sdcard, then put it in your pinephone, connect to your pc, switch on , then youre connected. then use Balena Etcher or dd the OS you want from your pc to the emmc.(jumpdrive does all the work) but check where Etcher is going to install the OS

if you want the OS on your sdcard dd or etcher from your pc to sdcard.

ubports with the OTA , extracts to 14.6g , to make life easy, but you need available space ..

https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/rootfs-pinephone-systemimage/

its all changed ,this is the link to the newer OTA capable version ,it wiil expand(extract) to the correct size for your emmc (14.6G), then you flash it to your sdcard or emmc using "jumpdrive" tool

section 8.2 for jumpdrive.

todays update to sdcard (#14 ) failed to install. tried a reboot after being stuck at 1/3rd of install indicator for a long time , black screen only now .
download #14 and reflash now.
anyone else ?

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 had a european model 19300 i dont recall it being suitable for UT

just curious, version numbering gitlab #9 shows download version 19 on the pinephone , ?

@Giiba
have you tried a sim yet ?

@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

OTA update first one
#7 to #9 on emmc
nice install screen
successful yahoo

try to get my at&t sim working later
( consumer cellular )

( not my daily driver) But : build #7 (BH-Pinephone )
i have not been able to use the phone "network " i have reset APN`s , on reboot they are gone, or i cannot get the check mark to stay there.
i use consumer cellular,( att ) usually pretty straight forward ?
anyone else or ----

@PINE64 got # 7 on SDcard ,looking good

Trying build #7
on my BH pinephone
via SDcard
I like the pinecone screen start
there is the" update " in the usual place
and update in. "about " /" update"
lot of little changes .
Nice Work guys

@AppLee
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 )

i have UT on BH pinephone emmc , lost wifi ,after being off for a few hours , could not get it to find any wifi signals at all.
looks like i need to reinstall or go back to sdcards

nterr 2nd attempt is in your chat

i have put a link in nterr`s chat , so maybe he can use that and then install ubports over it with an earlier version of the installer , ( it takes 2 or 3 reboots to get the recovery to show correctly, or not as his device was ubuntu to start).
sorry about the delay ,

i have a twrp (restore ) copy for a m10 fhd ,if you want to try it , i will need time to upload it some where.

@hankschwie
you can flash any recovery ie ;- twrp with flashtool , go in and wipe it (clean up ) and reflash with flashtool, ( not using format all ) , and try again, it sounds like the recovery geting stuck.
or, use flashtool to flash, another copy of recovery , it takes about 12 seconds ,.
i was hoping i had kept a twrp backup of ubports, sorry , i only have android and ubuntu touch regular firmware.
my only other thought was :- the device you have is a m10 fhd and not an m10fh. sorry got to ask ?

I wiill check my spare drive ,see what i have,( looking for a twrp copy of m10 fhd )
