Status

Right now only USB Netwoking (with SSHing into the system) works.

Display seems to be working in initramfs, but not after loading the kernel.

How to enter flash mode

  • Go to Developer options and enable OEM unlocking.
  • Power off and start again using Volume Down and Power on.
  • Connect your phone to your PC and run fastboot flashing unlock.

Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install

To flash postmarketOS on your phone use:

$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
$ fastboot reboot # if not rebooting already
