Unable to mount the exposed eMMC partition on Linux. about jumpdrive

[PoorPocketsMcNewHold]

So, update on that. I’ve managed to fix it!

The thing is, It seems that the stock pinephone red cable I’ve been using, seems to only be good for energy transfer, and not being able to do data transfer.

I’ve switched to another cable which have been using with other androids phone for modding as well, and low and behold, I’ve got access to the eMMC!

Despite knowingly that other people seem to have the same issue, I’ll close that issue again for now, waiting for confirmation, or not from them.

I had this weird behaviour:

couldn't see the storage or telnet until I've removed the battery (well it actually felt).

I'm using the pine64 supplied cables (only have that).

@Danct12 pointed me out (https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/463237927984693259/543382344782970881/730407743252463688) that UBPorts already had Jumpdrive built-in. So, I’ve removed the SD card with tested with that one instead, but it didn’t changed anything.

Manage to make it show on a Zorin OS laptop. I’ll take that this was an issue on my end. I’ll investigate this myself then.

I was also having this issue on Linux Mint. I tried v0.5 but it never mounted the eMMC. After reverting back to v0.4 it worked.

[PoorPocketsMcNewHold]

Re-opened it, since at the end. We don’t really know if we suffer from the same issue, what dependency is missing for making us detect the exposed bootloader.

I have the same issue on macOS (the eMMC partition of a PinePhone Braveheart edition is not exposed via USB). I was able to work around this issue by using JumpDrive 0.4 instead of JumpDrive 0.4.

[Danct12]

Not really too sure why is that happening here, I've tested 0.5 with my PinePhone 1.2a and 1.0, everything seems to work fine there.

I am getting the same issue on my ThinkPad W700 running Manjaro. I tried both 0.5 and 0.4. It worked on my T530 running Solus. Oddly enough, it does not appear to be OS dependent because I can replicate the issue on my desktop running Solus

[Danct12]

Does anyone here have UART cable? If so, please get dmesg logs when the phone is plugged in, and unplugged.

[gudenau]

I don't have a debug cable but I am having the same issue on two computers across three USB cables and 5 USB ports. The USB ports being Type-C, USB A 2 and USB A 3.

Edit:
The previous version does work however.

I seem to have this issue, both my desktop and laptop (manjaro and ubuntu) do not detect any drives. 'dmesg is spammed with errors like this:

[ 4328.264446] usb 1-6: new full-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd
[ 4328.264517] usb 1-6: Device not responding to setup address.
[ 4328.471198] usb 1-6: Device not responding to setup address.
[ 4328.677758] usb 1-6: device not accepting address 11, error -71
[ 4328.677827] usb usb1-port6: unable to enumerate USB device

[Danct12]

@reivanen Can you tell me what Jumpdrive version? And have you tried another USB cable?

[reivanen]

i believe it was 0.5 the download naming scheme does not tell. Here is the URL:

i use a cable that came with seagate external hdd, it has worked perfectly always.

[reivanen]

I tried again, this time using a 64gb memory card and burning the image using ubuntu's integrated image burner. (vs. 512gb card and etcher) and it seems to be working correctly.

I tried with all versions post .4, different computers and different linux distros with no success to mount emmc. Only when I used ver .4 on my arch system was I able to mount the exposed emmc. Currently flashing SailFish OS to the pinephone emmc as I type this.

Just make sure your battery is charged. If it is empty emmc is not recognized.
