Installation

1. Make sure that you are running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) - older versions did not have UEFI firmware.
2. Install me176c-boot.
3. Set up the APD partition as additional ESP (EFI System Partition), see me176c-boot - Setting up an additional ESP partition.
4. Follow the Installation guide.
6. The boot partition must be on internal storage. Use pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel to write it to the APD partition.
7. Create a boot entry for postmarketOS. Create a file pmos.conf:

title    postmarketOS
volume   80868086-8086-8086-8086-000000000007
linux    /vmlinuz-asus-me176c
initrd   /intel-ucode.img
initrd   /acpi-me176c.img
initrd   /initramfs-asus-me176c

8. Install the new boot entry: Boot into TWRP recovery, mount the ESP partition, and push the new configuration using ADB: adb push pmos.conf /esp/loader/entries/
9. To boot into postmarketOS, select postmarketOS in the boot menu. You can make it the default by editing /esp/loader/loader.conf.

Now you can choose if you would like to install the root partition (asus-me176c-root.img) on internal storage or a SD card.

Internal Storage

  • System partition: pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
  • Userdata partition: pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition=userdata
  • Alternatively, you can consider shrinking the data partition and create a new partition for postmarketOS. It's best to use a Linux system not located on the data partition for this purpose, for example a postmarketOS install on the system partition or on an SD card.

SD card

Write the root partition image to a partition on your SD card:

  1. Find the correct block device (usually /dev/mmcblkXpY but sometimes /dev/sdXY)
  2. pmbootstrap export, navigate to exported files
  3. Write the image to the partition (Warning: Existing data will be erased): dd if=asus-me176c-root.img of=/dev/mmcblkXpY bs=4M
