What's working
- Making a PMOS Recovery zip
- Flashing using custom recovery
- Showing splash screen during boot
What's wrong
- When the phone boots it shows the splash screen meaning the rendering is working. But it crashes and force reboots soon after.
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.
