Need to flash the L5 (so they say). I’ve looked through many posts related to flashing, the docs, wiki, and read all the Flash Utility Post-Installation issues and need to flash, irregardless of the scary stuff. QUESTION: Where are the dload and flashing instructions? TIA ~s

So, if I can summarize where things went wrong (I think): Because your computer was running PureOS amber, which does not include the uuu application in its repositories, it would have been necessary to use the previous flashing method, which involves building uuu oneself first. Therefore, uuu was n…

I already provided the same post to you in your other threads, so you are simply going to need to read and execute it. [image] Low disk space - how to clean out garbage? Librem 5 Here is a high-level overview: Download, verify, and install the PureOS 10.3 i…

Low disk space - how to clean out garbage? Download, verify, and install […] That part of it should only be necessary if you don’t have a reasonable distro already running on a desktop / laptop. Hence, for example, if your starting point is “only Windows” :face_vomiting: then you would indeed…

I have a desktop with PureOS on it. Whomever wrote the docs for devs did the right thing - ignored newbies. The instructions are for the Devs because I’m sure they understand the lingo. It begins with: The Librem 5 gets reflashed from a separate 64-bit x86 computer running PureOS (or booted from…

This was mentioned earlier, but did anyone try booting from SD card and then using dd to write to the eMMC? I always hear about the uuu special tool requirement, but if I can boot from an SD card and then flash PureOS to the eMMC using the one single basic linux dd command, why wouldn’t I? I know p…

Turn the Librem 5 off. Follow the instructions on your desktop with PureOS on it using Terminal. When the script starts mentioning about the Librem 5, follow its corresponding instructions until all steps are completed.

[image] Sharon: If there is a how-to connect L5-to-desktop to flash L5 from the desktop, it evades my searches. It’s there in the guide: Once the script downloads the image, you’ll be prompted to attach the Librem 5 for flashing. The phone itself will not provide an indication of the boot mo…

@Sharon , if you have any specific questions as you’re going through the process, ask them here, and someone will explain.

At the beginning of the developer’s documentation for reflashing the phone, there is a link to Purism’s blog post on how to do that. It is more concise than the developer’s documentation. Also, comparing the post to the documentation helped me clarify some parts of the documentation. The post also i…

Time to flash is now - but how?
