What works

  • Installation to sdcard (pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk...)
  • Touchscreen
  • Weston (only on SD card)
  • XWayland
  • Wifi

What does not work

  • The rest

How to enter flash mode

  • Hold power + Home + volume down
  • When prompted, release all buttons and press volume up

Installation

$ ./pmbootstrap.py init

Install to sdcard

# Replace /dev/mmcblk with your actual sdcard device
$ ./pmbootstrap.py install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk

Flashing

- Set phone to ODIN mode

 1. Turn off phone
 2. Connect USB cable
 3. Hold VOLUME_DOWN + HOME + POWER until you get Warning!! screen
 4. Push VOLUME_UP to continue to ODIN mode screen

- Build and flash the kernel

 $ ./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_kernel

Boot

Once postmarketOS is installed on the sdcard and the kernel is flashed, you need telnet to unlock the root partition

 $ telnet 172.16.42.1
 Trying 172.16.42.1...
 Connected to 172.16.42.1.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/mmcblk1p2:

Then you can SSH into the device.

 $ ssh user@172.16.42.1

Wifi

To get the wifi working, you'll need to modify the wpa_supplicant confg

 # If this is not done, wpa_supplicant launches itself with -ip2p0
 $ echo 'wpa_supplicant_args="-iwlan0 -Dwext"' | sudo tee /etc/conf.d/wpa_supplicant
 $ sudo wpa_passphrase $YOUR_SSID > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
 $ /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant restart

Write the following file to

/etc/network/interfaces
 auto lo 
 iface lo inet loopback   
 auto wlan0 
 iface wlan0 inet dhcp

Restart the network to verify it's working

 $ /etc/init.d/networking restart

Set it to start on boot

 $ sudo rc-update add wpa_supplicant boot
 $ sudo rc-update add networking default

Reboot and you should be connected on boot.
