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.
Because of missing UFS (internal storage) support you need to flash the postmarketOS rootfs to an SD card:
- 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
