How to enter flash mode
Volume up + Power button
Installation
Initial, you need to unlock the bootloader. Now, it's preferable to install pmOS on SDCard and boot the kernel without purging stock Android.
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sdX pmbootstrap flasher boot
Turn on the backlight:
ssh user@172.16.42.1 echo 91 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
