How to enter flash mode

  • TWRP can be reached by holding Volume Down and Power at boot.

Installation

Warning WARNING: PMOS needs to be flashed using TWRP instead of fastboot so the boot.img can be patched with the amonet exploit.
pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip
# Make sure you're booted into TWRP at this point and Started ADB Sideload on the device
pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload
