How to enter flash mode

  • Fastboot: Power on the device with both Power and Volume Down buttons.
  • lk2nd Fastboot: Power on the device. After it vibrates, hold Volume Down.
  • lk2nd Recovery: Power on the device. After it vibrates, hold Volume Up.

Installation

  1. Make sure you have latest firmware flashed. Follow the LineageOS installation guide until (including) Updating firmware.
  2. Install lk2nd (alternative bootloader that handles certain mainline quirks like setting up the WiFi/BT MAC addresses).
  3. Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation (keep in mind that you have to install pmOS components with lk2nd, not original fastboot).
