How to enter flash mode

Hold down Power + Volume Down while booting to enter Flash Mode.

Installation

I have tested flashing boot.img with an sdcard rootfs and this seems to work fine.

Modem Setup (same as for motorola-harpia so far)

Content below copied from https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Moto_G4_Play_(motorola-harpia).

I used these steps to configure and test SMS. It sort of worked I think. Need to do more testing.

Wifi

Configure your kernel and enable the prima wifi staging driver

pmbootstrap menuconfig motorola-harpia
pmbootstrap build linux-motorola-harpia

On the device

apk add wcnss-wlan
/etc/init.d/wcnss-wlan start

Firmware {Wifi/Modem} (TODO: package it)

On the device extract firmware

cd /lib/firmware
mkdir postmarketos
cd postmarketos
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/system /mnt
cp -ap /mnt/etc/firmware/* /lib/firmware/postmarketos
umount /mnt
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/fsg /mnt
cp -ap /mnt/* /lib/firmware/postmarketos
umount /mnt
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/modem /mnt
cp -ap /mnt/image/* /lib/firmware/postmarketos
umount /mnt
mount /dev/disk/by-partlabel/persist /mnt
mkdir -p wlan/prima
cp -ap /mnt/WCNSS_wlan_dictionary.dat wlan/prima/
umount /mnt

Make a link in case the firmware path doesn't include /lib/firmware/postmarketos

cd /lib/firmware
ln -s /lib/firmware/postmarketos/* /lib/firmware/

Modem

Make the necesary links for rmtfs

cd /boot
ln -s /dev/disk/by-partlabel/modemst1 modem_fs1
ln -s /dev/disk/by-partlabel/modemst2 modem_fs2
ln -s /dev/disk/by-partlabel/fsg modem_fsg

Install necessary software

apk add msm-modem-downstream rmtfs libsmdpkt_wrapper libqipcrtr4msmipc ofono

Start the wcnss-wlan service to initialize the wifi card (helps the modem?)

/etc/init.d/wcnss-wlan start

Start a tmux for multiple windows tmux

Start rmtfs on a terminal

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/preload/libqipcrtr4msmipc.so
rmtfs -v

Start ofonod on another terminal

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/preload/libsmdpkt_wrapper.so
ofonod -d -n

Send an SMS!

export PHONE_NUMBER="<number to send sms to ex: 1234567890>"
sudo dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.ofono /gobi_0 org.ofono.Modem.SetProperty string:"Powered" variant:boolean:"true"
sudo dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.ofono /gobi_0 org.ofono.Modem.GetProperties
sudo dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.ofono /gobi_0 org.ofono.Modem.SetProperty string:"Online" variant:boolean:"true"
sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.ofono /gobi_0 org.ofono.MessageManager.SendMessage string:"$PHONE_NUMBER" string:"Hello world! -postmarketOS"

Receive SMS like this (might be spammy if you have other DBus apps): sudo dbus-monitor
