HTC Desire (htc-bravo)
 |
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. |
 |
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |

Installation
|
Flashing the partitions does not work yet (except for the kernel), so you will need an SD card. |
- Unlock (s-off) the bootloader if it hasn't been unlocked before (Unlock the Bootloader of HTC Devices)
- Install everything using an SD card
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd? - Insert the SD-Card on the device
- Boot the device in HBOOT mode and select fastboot (Make sure it says "FASTBOOT USB", not "HBOOT USB PLUG")
- Flash kernel using
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel - Reboot
