Can you please explain why you keep removing my additions to [[PinePhone_Carrier_Support]] -- [[User:Mikehenson|Mike]] 02:22:09 29 April 2021 (UTC)
: You keep adding your provider in the wrong section. You want to add it in the section "Tested and working" but you keep adding it to the section "Does not work / special notes". Regards --[[User:Fxc|Fxc]] ([[User talk:Fxc|talk]]) 12:13, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

== Discussion on what to do with the Rock64 page ==

Hi, I'm asking you about this since you seem to be one of the more active contributors of the wiki.

I recently noticed that there are two ROCK64 pages, one is [[ROCK64]], the other is [[Rock64]]. They seem to duplicate a lot of information, and the latter appears to contain a large list of links already covered in the software releases page.

What should be done about this? Should we delete [[Rock64]] and make it a redirect? --[[User:CounterPillow|CounterPillow]] ([[User talk:CounterPillow|talk]]) 19:20, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

:For now I've decided to make it a redirect, upon seeing that the user who created it also created other pages which were just carbon copies of the respective actual pages at the time. Maybe some spam thing? --[[User:CounterPillow|CounterPillow]] ([[User talk:CounterPillow|talk]]) 06:24, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

:: Yup, I would have recommended a redirect too. The SBC articles and especially their naming is quite chaotic so (radically) cleaning up the wiki and finding a better structure between different articles is something which has to be done sooner or later anyway. --[[User:Fxc|Fxc]] ([[User talk:Fxc|talk]]) 12:38, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

== Re: Your edits in PinePhone ==

Good day, Fxc! Thank you very much for your help in moving my recent edits to their more suitable places: this stuff took me plenty of time to figure out & test, and hopefully our work could be valuable to the fellow PinePhone users.

Unfortunately, I noticed that "IMEI check and change" has been reverted for the reason "Illegal wiki contents removed". Please tell, "illegal" - in what country? I.e. PINE64 is a Hong Kong company, while a Pine64 wiki website is hosted in Slovakia, - and I can't any info that changing IMEI in either Hong Kong or Slovakia is illegal, or at least posting the "how-to" information about this. And what isn't forbidden - is allowed. For the majority of countries ''(not taking some totalitarian ones into account)'', changing IMEI is as legal as changing the MAC address which has been allowed to stay.

Since a "pinephone change imei" seems to be a popular Google request (it's even more popular than "pinephone change os"), I'd like to preserve this information for the public usage. If, to be able to do that, I need to re-word/extend the warning about the possible legal issues (something like "please check the laws of your country before doing that") - please let me know.

At the same time I understand this advanced information is probably not suitable for the main PinePhone page. Please tell what's the more appropriate place in your opinion - [[PineModems]], [[PinePhone_Software_Tweaks]] or [[PinePhone_FAQ#Modem]] ?

: Please don't re-add information regarding the IMEI on the wiki. Regarding software information: there is currently no place for it, [[PinePhone Software Tweaks]] was a quick idea - if you have other ideas feel free! The PineModems article is more on the hardware side of different modems and in the FAQ it would probably fit but that article isn't read very often. --[[User:Fxc|Fxc]] ([[User talk:Fxc|talk]]) 21:46, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

== Removing the addition about battery ==

Hello all,

I think it was not so good to remove the section, explaining how exactly one could get a good replacement battery
and make it fit into PP without any difficulties. Because this is actually a problem: there are any replacement battries
and fitting the J7 battery into the PP without filing it could result in a broken phone.

ref: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PinePhone&diff=15200&oldid=15102
--[[User:Pptester|Pptester]] ([[User talk:Pptester|talk]]) 14:16, 13 January 2023‎ (UTC)

: Said section doesn't fit the quality requirements of the rest of the page, as written in the edit note. There are multiple issues here. The newer PinePhone revisions have a bigger battery compartment for the plastic tabs on some batteries (the ones which are deemed incompatible due to the size in the battery paragraph). The paragraph is telling users to use a sharp object on batteries, which is a big no no. People can do that on their personal items but telling users to do so without sufficient warnings (colors, specialized templates PRIOR the instructions) is a red flag. The wiki also tries to be OS-agnostic as much as possible, which the commands are not. The same is the problem for random systemd service files, while distributions are not shipped with systemd - and a systemd service file isn't even the right solution anyway, it's a cheap workaround for not knowing the proper solution to apply sysfs changes permanently. --[[User:Fxc|Fxc]] ([[User talk:Fxc|talk]]) 14:38, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

== Request to involve Manual of style ==

Hello, I have noticed from the histories that you are a very active wiki editor and I would like to announce my new initiative, [[Help:Manual of style]]. It's important, because there are many articles to go through, to improve and to "standardize", but before that we need to create some kind of guide for these. --[[User:Tree|Tree]] ([[User talk:Tree|talk]]) 15:48, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

[[File:Pinephone_double.png|400px|thumb|right|Rendering of the PinePhone Pro]]

The '''PinePhone Pro''' is PINE64's flagship smartphone announced on October 15, 2021. It features 4GB of RAM, an 128GB eMMC and is using an Rockchip RK3399S SoC, which is a specialized version of the RK3399 made specifically for the PinePhone Pro.

== Introduction ==

The PinePhone Pro is PINE64’s second smartphone and a successor to the original PinePhone. It does not, however, replace the original PinePhone. It should also not be considered a second generation PinePhone; it is a higher-end device, with much better specs, aimed at those who wish to daily-drive a open system stack. Achieving this goal will, however, take time as the software and overall smartphone software ecosystem needs to mature.

More information about the PinePhone Pro can be found on the device [https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/ main page].

=== State of the software ===
([[PinePhone Pro Software State|view separately]])

{{:PinePhone Pro Software State}}

=== Editions and revisions ===
Similarly to the original PinePhone, various PinePhone Pro editions are planned, the first of which is the Developer Edition (aimed at developers, as the name entails) followed by the Explorer Edition, which is aimed at early adopters.

* [[PinePhone Pro Developer Edition]]
* [[PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition]]

=== Help and support ===

Still have any questions regarding software, shipping, or ordering after reading this Wiki? Please don't hesitate to contact the community in the bridged community channels for detailed answers or simply to chat with friendly people in the community! See [[Main Page#Community and Support]].

Please keep in mind that PINE64 is not like a regular company (see the [https://www.pine64.org/philosophy/ PINE64 philosophy]) and that support resources are limited - the best way to get support quickly is to ask in the community chat! Please only contact the PINE64 support directly if questions couldn't be solved via the community chat or this wiki.

== First time setup ==
[[File:Pinephone_warning.png|320px|thumb|right|A protection foil isolates the battery for the shipping.]]

When shipped the battery is isolated from the device using a protective plastic tab, which is required to be removed before using the phone. The battery '''will not''' charge or boot until it is removed and the battery is connected again.

{{Info|To remove the sticker after unboxing the phone: Carefully remove the back panel using the notch in the corner of the back cover without overbending it. Then remove the battery. Peel off the clear plastic sticker below it, which isolates the charging contacts and reinsert the battery.}}

The SIM card has to be placed in the lower slot, while the microSD has to be placed in the upper slot. Devices shipped after the end of July 2022 do only accept a nano-SIM, the SIM is inserted into a carriage released by slightly pulling on the handle in the lower slot (for information regarding devices shipped prior to end of July 2022 see below).

[[File:Pinephone slots.png|600px|thumb|none|The microSD belongs in the upper slot, the SIM card in the lower slot.]]

{{Info|Information regarding devices shipped prior to end of July 2022: The PinePhone Pros shipped prior to the end of July 2022 come with a micro-SIM slot instead of a nano-SIM slot. Do not insert an empty micro-SIM adapter into the phone and do not release the nano-SIM inside the adapter, as it will get stuck on the contact pins. If the nano-SIM got released inside the adapter inside the phone, carefully reinsert the nano-SIM card without moving the adapter. In that case do not pull on the empty adapter as it will get stuck on the contact pins and damage them!}}

== Software ==

The software section explains how to install the available software releases for the PinePhone Pro to the internal eMMC or a microSD card, how to boot them and how to solve common booting issues.

=== Software releases ===

The [[PinePhone Pro Software Releases]] page has a complete list of currently supported phone-optimized operating system images that work with the PinePhone Pro.

{{Info|Images of the regular PinePhone are not compatible with the PinePhone Pro.}}

=== Boot order ===

The RK3399S processor in the PinePhone Pro searches for the bootloader (such as ''U-Boot'' or ''Tow-Boot'') in the following order:

# SPI flash
# eMMC (the internal memory)
# MicroSD card

==== Boot from microSD card temporarily ====

To temporarily boot from an inserted '''microSD card''' do the following:

* On the '''Explorer Edition ordered after July 2022''' hold the ''volume down key'' while powering on the device. The batches bought after July 2022 come with ''Tow-Boot'' flashed to the SPI, which offers additional functionality over ''U-Boot'' as bootloader.

* On the '''Explorer Edition ordered between January and July 2022''' hold the ''RE'' button underneath the cover for a few seconds, while powering on the device. If the button is labeled ''RESET'' instead of ''RE'' please verify if the device is a regular [[PinePhone]] (or the Developer Edition). This is required because older batches don't ship with ''Tow-Boot'' on the SPI. Flashing ''Tow-Boot'' can be caught up by following [https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephonePro.html this] instruction. After flashing ''Tow-Boot'' the microSD card can be selected at boot with the volume down key as well.

* On the '''Developer Edition (sold to selected developers only)''' the SPI and the eMMC can be bypassed by shorting the bypass test points while booting. The process is explained in the article [[PinePhone Pro Developer Edition#Nuking the factory AOSP installation|PinePhone Pro Developer Edition]]. Please join the community chat for any questions regarding the process.

The RE button disables the SPI and the eMMC at the hardware level while the button is held and the PinePhone Pro will try to boot from the next available boot medium, which is the microSD card. Note: When holding the ''RE'' button (or when shorting the contact points in case of the ''Developer Edition'') for a longer time at boot the operating system will not initialize the SPI and eMMC and it will not be possible to write to these storage mediums until the next reboot.

{{Template:Info|The bootloader uses its own boot order for loading the kernel and other core operating system components at boot, which for example may result in the boot loader residing on the eMMC loading and booting the kernel from a microSD card.}}

==== Boot from microSD card permanently ====

The bootloader (such as ''U-Boot'') resides in the free space in front of the first partition. Wiping the bootloader from the eMMC to make the PinePhone Pro boot from microSD card can be done using <code>sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=64 count=400 conv=fsync</code>. Formatting the drive or deleting the partition table is not sufficient to wipe the bootloader.

==== Notes ====

If you received your device after July of 2022, the bootloader (''Tow-Boot'') resides on the SPI. To boot to an SD card, place the SD card in your PinePhone Pro and turn it on. The phone will vibrate once. At this point, hold down the volume down button until you feel the device vibrate again then release the button. The LED color should change to blue and your display should remain black for a few seconds. In a few seconds you should see the SD card booting, the indications of which are dependent on what image you chose. If the LED is flashing instead, the boot from SD failed. Erasing the SPI can be achieved via the Tow-Boot installer image. Instructions are available here [https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephonePro.html Tow-Boot PinePhone Pro Instructions].

See [[RK3399 boot sequence]] for further details regarding the boot sequence.

=== Installation instructions ===

The software releases can be installed (the process is being referred to as ''flashing'') to the eMMC or to an microSD card.

==== Flashing to microSD card ====
To install an image to the microSD card:

# Download a compatible image from [[PinePhone Pro Software Releases]].
# '''Important:''' Typically the image will be compressed in an archive file to reduce the download size (such as ''.gz'' or ''.xz''). Extract the image from its archive file to get the file with the file extension ''.img''.
# Write the image to your microSD card using your favorite method, examples:
#* Using ''dd'': On the device you're flashing the microSD card from, find the correct device under <code>lsblk</code> and then flash the image to the microSD card using <code>sudo dd if='''IMAGE.img''' of=/dev/'''[DEVICE]''' bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync</code>. Make sure the target is the whole microSD card and not its first partition (''sdc1'' or ''mmcblk0p1'' are wrong!).
#* Using ''bmaptool'': Make sure to select the correct device using <code>lsblk</code>. Then run bmaptool with the correct device: Download the ''IMAGE.xz'' and the ''IMAGE.bmap'' files, then run <code>bmaptool copy --bmap '''IMAGE.bmap''' '''IMAGE.xz''' /dev/'''[DEVICE]'''</code>. This takes around 2.5 minutes to flash a 4 GB file.
#* Using ''a graphical tool'': A graphical tool such as Gnome Disks under Linux or Etcher under Windows may also be used.
# Insert the microSD card into the top slot of the PinePhone Pro. Make sure the microSD card is inserted all the way and that the notch of the right side of the microSD card is not visible anymore, see [[:File:Pinephone_slots.png|here]].
# Boot the device using the following method:
#* On the '''Explorer Edition ordered after July 2022''' hold the ''volume down key'' while booting.
#* On the '''Explorer Edition ordered between January and July 2022''' hold the ''RE'' button underneath the back cover while booting (or the ''volume down key'' if you flashed ''Tow-Boot'').
#* On the '''Developer Edition (sold to selected developers only)''' apply the bypass by shorting the testing pads while booting according to the datasheet.

Details regarding the boot order can be found in the [[PinePhone Pro#Boot order|Boot order]] section.

==== Flashing to the eMMC ====
Flashing to the eMMC can be done by booting an operating system from the microSD (see the section [[PinePhone Pro#Flashing to microSD card|Flashing to microSD card]]) and by writing to the eMMC directly from there:

# Boot an operating system [[PinePhone Pro#Flashing to microSD card|from the microSD card]]. If there is already a bootloader on the eMMC installed see the section [[PinePhone Pro#Boot order|Boot order]] to bypass it.
# Download or copy the desired image to the microSD card as file
# Check if the eMMC appears under <code>lsblk</code>. If it doesn't appear in the output of the command, the eMMC wasn't initialized due to applying the above explained bypass method for a too long time during the boot
# '''Important:''' Typically the image will be compressed in an archive file to reduce the download size (such as ''.gz'' or ''.xz''). Extract the image from its archive file to get the file with the file extension ''.img''.
# Flash the image file using <code>sudo dd if='''IMAGE.img''' of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync</code> (replace ''IMAGE.img'' with the filename of the image you want to flash and make sure it has the file extension ''.img'').
# Reboot the PinePhone Pro

=== Troubleshooting ===

If the PinePhone Pro is not booting (either booting incompletely into a boot splash or tty or if the PinePhone Pro is showing no signs of life) this will typically have the following two reasons:

==== The battery is fully drained ====

If the battery is drained then the board can reset during boot causing a boot loop because of undervoltage condition. It can happen on all stages of the boot including ''U-Boot'' bootloader, display initialization and USB (re-)configuration. In that case it is not possible to charge the phone. The battery can be charged by interrupting the boot loop by booting the PinePhone Pro into ''Maskrom mode'' or by charging the battery externally. To boot the PinePhone Pro into ''Maskrom mode'':

* Remove any microSD card from the phone and keep it removed for the below procedure
* Remove the battery, any USB cable and any serial cable
* Reinsert the battery
* Hold the ''RE'' button underneath the back cover of your ''Explorer Edition'' (or short the bypass contact points on the ''Developer Edition'')
{{Info|Confirm that the label of the button says ''RE'' and not ''RESET''! If the button label says ''RESET'' instead you probably have a regular PinePhone and you're reading the wrong page.}}
* Connect the phone to an USB port of a computer, while still holding the button for some time
* Check if the phone in Maskrom mode appears in the output of the terminal command <code>lsusb</code> on the computer, the expected ''VID:PID'' of the device is ''2207:330c''
**(under ''Windows'' this can be checked using the ''Device Manager'' and checking the VID and PID of an appearing ''Unknown device'')
**(under ''macOS'' this can be checked in ''/Applications/Utilities/System Information.app'' under ''USB'' and checking the VID and PID of an appearing ''Composite Device''
* Let the phone charge for multiple hours

{{Info|If the device doesn't appear under ''lsusb'' please try again with a different known good USB-C cable and make sure that there is no microSD card in the phone inserted.}}

{{Info|It may not be necessary to use a computer to successfully boot into ''Maskrom mode'', at least one user has reported successfully charging in ''Maskrom mode'' using a standard USB wall charger. This method has no way to determine if ''Maskrom mode'' has been entered successfully, however. }}

The device should now be able to boot from the boot medium again. If that is not the case the installation got corrupted, as explained below.

Levinboot bootloader doesn't have the bootloop issue, because it configures high input current limit (2A) during early boot, which is sufficient to complete the boot even with discharged battery, without any boot loops.

==== The installation is corrupted ====
The PinePhone Pro won't be able to boot if the installation on the SPI flash, the eMMC or the microSD card got corrupted. To boot a working operating system:

* Prepare a microSD card as explained in the section [[PinePhone Pro#Flashing to microSD card|Flashing to microSD card]]
* Remove any USB-C cable or device or add-on case from the PinePhone Pro
* Make sure the device is powered off by shortly removing the battery for a second
* Insert the microSD card into the top slot of the PinePhone Pro. Make sure the microSD card is inserted all the way and that the notch of the right side of the microSD card is not visible anymore.
* Power on the device while bypassing the SPI and eMMC as explained under [[PinePhone Pro#Boot order|Boot order]]

The device should now boot from the microSD card. If the phone does not boot from the microSD card the microSD card was flashed with an incompatible image or the battery got drained as explained above.

=== Bootloaders ===
The following section contains notes regarding compatible bootloaders with the PinePhone Pro.

==== U-Boot ====
The pre-installed operating system on the PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, if sold prior to the end of July of 2022, is using [[Uboot|U-Boot]] as default bootloader. Batches sold after July of 2022 are using ''Tow-Boot''

==== Tow-Boot ====
Current batches of the PinePhone Pro ship with ''Tow-Boot'' pre-installed to the SPI flash, which is an opinionated distribution of ''U-Boot'' and brings numerous advantages over stock ''U-Boot'', such as the possibility to choose from booting the eMMC or microSD card using the volume buttons during boot, as well as a ''USB Mass Storage mode'', where the device can be written to by connecting the device to a computer via USB.

The user can flash Tow-Boot to the PinePhone Pro using the [https://tow-boot.org/devices/pine64-pinephonePro.html instructions on the Tow-Boot website].

==== levinboot ====
The levinboot bootloader is another option for the PinePhone Pro. The project repository can be found [https://gitlab.com/DeltaGem/levinboot/-/tree/master/ here]. (Pinephone Pro supporting fork is [https://xff.cz/git/levinboot/ here].)

== Privacy switch configuration ==

[[File:PinePhone Kill Interruptors de Maquinari del PinePhone 4529.jpg|320px|thumb|right|Picture of the privacy switches]]

The PinePhone features six switches that can be used to configure its hardware. They are numbered 1-6, with switch 1 located nearest to the modem. Their "on" position is toward the top of the phone.
