Can't boot into Jumpdrive on PinePhone

[dave-kennedy]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here:

$ lsblk

$ ls -l pine64-pinephone.img.xz

$ sudo dd if=pine64-pinephone.img.xz of=/dev/sdd bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync

When I put the card in the phone and turn it on, it boots to Plasma Mobile desktop. I've tried two different SD cards. Am I missing something?

Okay, maybe it's obvious, but I didn't realize I needed to unxz the file:

$ unxz -c pine64-pinephone.img.xz > pine64-pinephone.img

$ ls -l pine64-pinephone.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dave dave 41M Aug 12 20:30 pine64-pinephone.img

$ sudo dd if=pine64-pinephone.img of=/dev/sdd bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync   
41+0 records in
41+0 records out

Same result, unfortunately, when booting the phone.

I got it to boot, finally. This time I made sure to eject /dev/sdd before removing the drive. It might help others if the readme mentioned any of this.
