Flashing an OS for the Pinephone (Braveheart) - Ubuntu Touch or PostmarketOS - Rob Braxman Tech The Braveheart edition of the Pinephone does not come with a functional Phone UI for Linux. It does come with a PostmarketOS Factory test but not something you can do phone things with. This instructional video teaches you have to install Ubuntu Touch or Postmarket OS on a Pinephone via a Micro-SD card. We will download the appropriate rootfs for the Operating System (OS) and than flash it to a Micro-SD card. Instructions will be provided for Windows 10, Linux, and MacOs

I followed the instructions with flashing my os onto my sd card. Although it tells me to keep formatting over and over and I just cannot seem to boot my os of ubuntu touch I used command prompt diskpart and also tried using windows32 and etcher. The ISO file seems to be on the sd card but when I implement into pinephone it does not want to boot whats on the sd card. what could I be doing wrong

Hey, maybe you could tell me, Where is the source code for the postmarket hardware testing app that the pinephone factory testing app uses? Im trying to find out what devices (hardware) are connected, on what interfaces. But its going slow.
gps, is on /dev/ttyUSB2 for example. I'd like much more detail, but i havent been able to find it, and the forum has been slow.

2nd. Pizza you suk. Mr Braxmann i could not get my question off in live chat to you the other night. If i installed your encrypting software on a server that normally hosts a website in a foreign country would that work like the paid vpn services. or is it even possible to do this?

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the great video, you helped me a lot actually.
So I flashed Ubuntu Touch in my SD card but after starting the phone it just hangs on the boot screen and seems to be stuck. Can you please let me know where can I find some help for this?
Thanks!

Great video Rob, Thanks! Have you tried Etcher on Win-10 and Ubuntu? I have had great luck using that for Pi imaging. It can read the compressed file, take care of the formatting and burn the image all at one go. I have used it on Win 10 and Ubuntu but not Mac.

-Rob Braxman Tech I'm super late but I'm here to remind that you can now flash android in pinephone. Its a bit slower so I guess we can have better experience with android while we can maintain privacy.

Etcher is the worst thing to use, its ad garbage. Use Gnome Discs on Linux and it can do the formatting and restore the image all with one program.

Why didn't you use Balena Etcher in Windows too (Since there is a Windows version) so the tutorial will be consistent across all platforms?
