==== Flashing to microSD card ====

To install an image to the microSD card:

~~TBD~~

# Download your chosen image from [[PinePhone Pro Software Releases]]

# Extract the compressed file

# 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 uncompressed image to the microSD card using <code>sudo dd if=pine.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 ''nvme0n1p1'' are wrong!).

#* Using ''bmaptool'': Make sure to select the correct device using <code>lsblk</code>. Then run bmaptool with the correct device: Download the ''.img.xz'' and the ''.img.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 phone

# Boot the phone. If there is an '''existing bootloader on the eMMC''' (the eMMC has a [[PinePhone Pro#Boot order|higher boot priority]]) you need to [[PinePhone Pro#Bypassing the eMMC|bypass the eMMC]] at boot and you can [[PinePhone Pro#Wipe U-Boot from the eMMC|wipe the bootloader from the eMMC]] to default boot from the microSD card by default in the freshly booted installation.
