What does NOT work

  • Modem starts and is detected, but every ~40s it crashes with following error. Should work just like any other msm8916 device.

Probably requires rmt_oeminfo and other services. Similar error described in Google_Nexus_6P_(huawei-angler)#Modem and https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux/pull/192, help appreciated.

dmesg error


  • GPS is untested, but probably does not work at the moment. Probably requires modem to run.

Could work work after rebase onto https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/linux/pull/158


  • FDE: touchscreen seems not to work in Osk-sdl to unlock FDE. Hardware acceleration is not required, but missing as well

How to enter flash mode

Hold Volume Down + Power at the same time.

Installation

  1. Unlock the bootloader. See Bootloader#Huawei
  2. Install lk2nd. Although Huawei already provides a Fastboot interface, lk2nd contains various quirks for booting mainline.
  3. Please follow the Installation guide. Enable nonfree firmware for WIFI/BT/GPU
  4. Follow the steps displayed at the end of output the previous command to finally flash postmarketOS.
