Trouble flashing mobian to pinephone

Alas and alack!
'Nother Pinephone stumbling block - finally got time to try to flash the phone, and the process won't start.

Step 4 doesn't happen.
Phone tells me "Jumpdrive" is running, but the PC can't see it. It makes system-sounds like something's trying to connect but is failing.
So what essential step am I missing here? Is there a log that might say what? Do I need another utility or piece of software? Does anybody know?

| Installation to eMMC You can install the image to eMMC by using JumpDrive. 1. Download the Jumpdrive image and flash the Jumpdrive image to a micro SD card 2. Boot the PinePhone from the Jumpdrive micro SD card 3. Connect the PinePhone to your computer using a USB cable 4. The sdcard and the emmc will become available as block devices on your computer (in the form of /dev/sdX block devices). 5. Flash the exposed (mounted) PinePhone drive with the Mobian image using one of the methods below. 6. Disconnect the PinePhone from your computer and remove the Jumpdrive SD card 7. Power in the PinePhone and boot Mobian from eMMC |
