How to enter flash mode

Hold down the home button + the power button + the volume down button from a power off state to get into Odin mode.

NOTE: Flashing with heimdall gets stuck, so i had to use adb sideloading to get postmarketos flashed.

Installation

Follow the installation guide, but install with: pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip and flash with: pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload while in adb sideload mode.
