How to enter flash mode

Volume Up + Power (loading Recovery)

Connect usb cable and enter:

sudo adb start-server

When Recovery is fully loaded

adb reboot bootloader

When the fastboot logo appears on the phone

Installation

You can install it on an sd card or flash it on your phone through recovery. To do this, instead of pmbootstrap install, run

./pmbootstrap.py install  --android-recovery-zip --recovery-install-partition=data

It loads into recovery (I checked on twrp), go to advanced ones and click adb sideload. We connect the usb cable and run

./pmbootstrap.py flasher --method=adb sideload

And flashing the kernel

fastboot flash boot boot.img-fly-iq4404
