Installation
We could streamline this a lot with your help. |
You have to flash a recovery like TWRP before doing this.
pmbootstrap install
pmbootstrap export
- Reboot the device in recovery
adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/boot.img-asus-tf101 /cache
adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/asus-tf101.img /cache
The following should be executed within adb shell:
adb shell
dd if=/cache/boot.img-asus-tf101 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/cache/asus-tf101.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
