(From this, you can see that if your postmarketOS install image is larger than 654 MB, you'll have to install it to the userdata partition instead. Or you could repartition.)

Installation

Unlock bootloader - to unlock the bootloader go into fastboot mode, as described above. After this connect your Phone via USB-Cable. Check if the device is recognized by typing fastboot devices. If you see your device is listed, you can proceed with typing fastboot oem unlock. You should see a notification on your phone now. Aggree it, by Volume UP and ON/OFF. Now you can follow the Installation - Guide. If you run into Problems with "Buffer Size Exceeded" like me (GeraltvonNVIDIA), than you can fix this by following the Workaround from Oliver Smith @ollieparanoid as mentioned here: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/-/issues/1984 , or you can also flash 4.0.4 (IMM76I) ofw.
