How to enter flash mode

Power down the device first. To enter ODIN/Heimdall flashing mode, press and hold Power + Home + Volume Down buttons until a warning screen pops up. Then press Volume Up button to enter ODIN mode.

To enter Recovery (Stock/Custom) mode, press and hold Power + Home + Volume Up buttons until the Recovery splash screen pops up.

Installation

Installation with Heimdall doesn't work. Use the custom recovery method provided by PMOS wiki to install it. Remember to add these packages into the rootfs : mkbootimg,msm-fb-refresher.
