Installation
Manual install
You need to erase the dtbo partition for the current slot with fastboot erase dtbo. Reboot the phone and hold down VolDown during early boot to enter fastboot mode.
The rest of the installation is standard, but because the device contains A/B slots, you must watch out for the correct slot being active.
You have a few possibilities to flash the postmarketOS rootfs:
- userdata partition (xxx GB usable space):
fastboot flash userdata *rootfs.img - super partition (x GB usable space):
fastboot flash super *rootfs.img - SD card:
pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/$blk_dev
You need to flash the boot partition. E.g.:
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
Finally, reboot the device into postmarketOS:
fastboot reboot
