This page is intended to help you install a software release on your PinePhone. In addition it provides details of all the available releases so that you can do some background reading about them to help inform your choice. Finally it provides a number of links to other resources related to your PinePhone.
Release installation
Initial (new) release installation should be to a micro SD card. It is recommended to choose a card with fast I/O of small files for best performance of your PinePhone. Generic installation instructions are in this section, please see the releases below for specific installation options they may offer/require.
Preparation of SD card
- Download your chosen image from the options below
- Extract the compressed file
- Write the image to your SD card
- Plug SD card into phone
- Boot phone
If you need step-by-step instructions for writing an image to an SD card, check NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards then return to this page.
Installation to eMMC
- Prepare a new SD card as above
- Boot the phone
- Run a magic script (to be defined/written/...)
Software Releases
postmarketOS
- Download location
Direct download from postmarketOS image site of demo images.
postmarketOS offers a choice of several desktop environments including Plasma Mobile and phosh. Rather than downloading a demo image they recommend the use of their script, pmbootstrap, that can tailor build your SD card for you. The script automates steps 1,2 & 3 above. See for example this forum thread.
Note pmbootstrap offers an option to install to the eMMC.

SailfishOS
- Download location
The SailfishOS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the flashing script.
The script downloads the image and bootloader from our CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.
Instructions:
- Download the flashing script
- Insert a microSD card in your device
- Make the script executable:
chmod +x flash-it.sh - Execute it:
./flash-it.sh - Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).
Note: The script will format and flash the SD card, make sure that you don't have any important data on the SD card!
