Installation
Unlock bootloader
To unlock your bootloader boot into Android, enable Developer Options from the settings and enable "Allow OEM unlock". Then boot into Fastboot and use fastboot oem unlock
. You might need to use fastboot oem unlock-go
. (Note: All your data will be erased!)
Firmware
It is recommended to flash to latest firmware from BQ before using postmarketos.
postmarketOS
The mainline kernel depends on an alternative bootloader (lk2nd). It does not replace the stock bootloader, but provides its own Fastboot interface. When using the mainline kernel you should always use lk2nd for flashing, not the stock Fastboot mode.
- Install lk2nd. (Just needed the first time).
- Warning: lk2nd is installed to the
boot
partition.

When you have lk2nd installed and running, follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation.
