How to enter flash mode

Hold power button and volume up while device is turned off

Installation

Zenfone 5 uses non-standard bootimg format, so we'll need to create it manually. You'll need a working Zenfone 5 boot.img to proceed.

$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd?
$ pmbootstrap export
$ git clone https://github.com/shakalaca/ZenFone-boot-tools
$ cd ZenFone-boot-tools
$ make
$ ./pack_intel ./path/to/original/boot.img /tmp/postmarketOS-export/vmlinuz-asus-t00f /tmp/postmarketOS-export/initramfs-asus-t00f output_boot.img

Then you can flash output_boot.img as you normally would using fastboot.

$ sudo fastboot flash boot output_boot.img
