Unlock bootloader

To do anything useful on this device, it's bootloader needs to be unlocked. This sadly requires creating an account on HTCDev.

Instructions can be found here. Select "All Other Supported Models" on the right side and press "Begin Unlock Bootloader".

Port status

  • Kernel can be compiled with GCC4, boots, USB networking works.
  • Matchbox worked, but got removed from repos
  • MATE works
  • Some apps might crash the device.
  • It uses the 16 bit color mode.

Enter fastboot

  • Power + Volume Down buttons (that boots the device into HBOOT, use the volume buttons and power to select Fastboot)
  • use TWRP reboot bootloader
  • adb reboot bootloader

Installing

  • Boot to fastboot
  • Install rootfs to the SD card or the internal storage with pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs (S-OFF needed for the internal storage)
  • Run pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
  • Reboot
Note Installing to the userdata partition didn't work, tested flashing Matchbox and MATE, MATE was too big.
