How to enter flash mode
With device powered off, hold [VOLUME +] and [POWER]. The screen will show download mode (which is fastboot.
You will need an unlocked bootloader. To unlock it follow [1].
 |
WARNING: Unlocking the bootloader *Will* erase all your data! |
Additional notes
- The stock bootloader is very buggy hence booting postmarketos requires uniLoader.
- Booting uniLoader requires appending the downstream DTB, otherwise the phone will bootloop.
- uniLoader requires minimal ramdisk in both blob and bootimage otherwise the phone will bootloop.
- MMC causes kernel panics currently so no internal storage support.
- Since this is a mediatek device, expect a lot of things to not work.
