How to enter flash mode

With the device powered off, hold Volume Down while booting.

Additional info

A serial console is accessible via the headphone port, see Serial debugging:Cable schematics#Nexus debug cable.

The screen brightness can be adjusted by writing a value from 0 to 255 to /sys/devices/fd900000.qcom,mdss_mdp/qcom,mdss_fb_primary.164/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness.

LEDs

The green charging LED can be set by writing a value from 0 to 40 to /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-10/leds/charging/brightness. General purpose LEDs can be set by writing a value from 0 to 20 to the devices below, although there is no observable difference in brightness from 1 to 20.

  • Red: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-11/leds/red/brightness
  • Green: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-12/leds/green/brightness
  • Blue: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-13/leds/blue/brightness

Hardware / sensors detail

For reference, sensor information from sensorsandbox (f-droid) on xt1103; note that in addition to hardware-based sensors, it presumably includes software-based / derived sensors:
