Enable booting from USB
On PC:
$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos/recovery/chromeos_15183.78.0_trogdor_recovery_stable-channel_mp-v7.bin.zip
$ unzip chromeos_15183.78.0_trogdor_recovery_stable-channel_mp-v7.bin.zip
$ sudo losetup -Pf chromeos_15183.78.0_trogdor_recovery_stable-channel_mp-v7.bin
$ sudo cp $(findfs LABEL=ROOT-A) recovery.img
$ adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
On device in adb shell
:
$ su # assuming you have root
# cd /sdcard
# mkdir rootdir
# losetup -f recovery.img # this may throw an error, but still pass. check blkid command, make sure there is /dev/block/loop0 in the output
# mount -o ro -t ext4 /dev/block/loop0 rootdir
# cd rootdir
# mount -t sysfs /sys sys
# mount -t proc /proc proc
# mount -o bind /dev dev
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M tmpfs tmp
# chroot . /bin/bash
# ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd0 /dev/mtd0
# export PATH="$PATH:/usr/sbin"
# crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0 # this command enables booting from USB
Everything else is the same to Chrome OS devices except that we don't have prebuilt images yet.
Installation to USB storage
Use these commands:
$ pmbootstrap init # select google-smaug
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdX # replace /dev/sdX with your storage
You can boot from USB with pressing
+ in bootloader.Installation to eMMC
Boot pmOS from USB, connect to WiFi and install pmOS on eMMC:
$ sudo apk add pmbootstrap
$ pmbootstrap init # select google-smaug
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdX # replace /dev/sdX with your storage
