Buying a second Pinetime

[@DumbLinuxUser]

You could try to unseal your bricked PineTime and make it like a dev kit if you want. At the very least, you can use it to test different OSes. You will need a developer cable to hook into the motherboard however.

[@joseph58tech]

I've tried that, could never get the pry tool into the dang thing

[@DumbLinuxUser]

You know what caused your PineTime to do this? Flashing firmware?

[@joseph58tech]

yeah it's known issue that happens in very rare cases when you flash non-official builds of infinitime. on the newer builds of the watch (shipped with 1.6) if you left the watch dead for about two weeks it would completely reset, but since I got the watch in 1.2 days it didn't have this feature

[@DumbLinuxUser]

I would try unsealing using a heatgun or something. I would ask help in the Pinetime Forums/Matrix Rooms/IRC.

[@merijnvanwijhe1432]

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution for the first watch?

[@joseph58tech]

Sadly no, every time I try to boot it up it does the same thing without any difference

[@lte_2210]

Bro treated that box like it owed him money xD

[@jacobdavidcunningham1440]

lol just throwing the packages away

[@vip_bimmervip_bimmer8033]

You probably could have just reached out to pine64 for a review unit.

[@joseph58tech]

I flashed the firmware myself and bricked it, nothing in that process was fault of Pine64

At 4:43, you had your address visible in your video. Highly recommend taking down and re-uploading this video with that blanked out.

[@joseph58tech]

Dude this video is like 2 years old I'm not remastering it and re-uploading it ☠️☠️

[@DumbLinuxUser]

Just saying, your personal information is out there.

[@joseph58tech]

I mean yeah but it's not like I'm some large scale RUclipsr or something, if that was the case I would've taken it down heaps sooner.
