Flashing

This device has got 2 different firmwares. The main difference between them is the partition sizes, with the Ubuntu firmware having a larger userdata partition. You may use both for postmarketOS, however the Ubuntu one is recommended.

Installation can be done via the usual installation guide, however flashing the rootfs will fail due to a broken fastboot installation. You can use either dd in recovery, android recovery zips with twrp, or flashing via SP Flash Tool.
