How did you get postmarketOS image?

Additional information

I initially assumed this was due to hardware failure (as I dropped my phone and messed up the screen), but yesterday someone claimed to have the same issue with "original sxmo" (i.e. postmarketOS version as opposed to the Arch Linux port) only 2 days ago, so I decided to file this bug report. I have the postmarketOS CE PinePhone and he has the KDE CE PinePhone. Mine is from the convergence package, not sure about his.

He got his image from here (specifically, the 1.3 image): http://images.lrdu.org/pinephone/
