Installation

🚧	This page is a work-in-progress. Some information contained within may be inaccurate or incomplete.

lk2nd is a secondary bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface, which can be used to boot postmarketOS without Android boot flashed or pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel.

The prebuilt image doesn't have the device included at the moment. Build lk2nd first.
Boot your phone to bootloader (fastboot) mode.
Follow lk2nd instructions from step 2 to install lk2nd. Basically flash it to the boot partition (fastboot flash boot build-lk2nd-msm8909/lk2nd.img)
Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation to install postmarketOS.

Note: Enter lk2nd fastboot mode by pressing Volume Down after booting (this time wait until it vibrates then press Volume Down!

Panel Display

Using simple-framebuffer instead of DRM panel driver due to missing MDP3 support in mainline Linux for now. Backlight is not controlled by the panel. Sometimes the panel doesn't show anything.
