How to enter flash mode

On boot press and hold the Volume Down button. If your device is already powered off, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously until you get to the "FASTBOOT" screen.

Installation

As of now the only way to boot this device is through netboot, since when UFS is enabled, it causes the kernel to panic. Install fastboot on your host system and run the following commands:

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap --extra-space 1000 install --no-sparse
$ pmbootstrap initfs hook_add netboot
$ fastboot erase dtbo
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_vbmeta
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
$ fastboot reboot

To serve the netboot image, run the following with your phone plugged in:

$ pmbootstrap netboot serve
