How to enter flash mode
The Essential Phone uses Fastboot as the flashing protocol.
To enter Fastboot mode, hold Volume Down while powering on the device. Let go of Volume Down when "Fastboot mode" displays on the screen.
Installation
fastboot --set-active=a pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition system_a pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot_a
Status
Mata successfully boots into a stable session however, there is currently no touch capability. The device required is /dev/event5 which will load on a TWRP partition, but not in pmOS due to blobs.
Weston and GNOME display graphical outputs.
