How to enter flash mode

Hold Volume Down and Power, then choose Fastboot with Power button.

Installation

To install postmarketOS, you will need an SD card inserted in the device, as the phone's partitions are too small to fit everything.

  • Unlock the bootloader. You can do this by visiting htcdev.com
  • Install rootfs on the SD card: pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/your_card
  • Enter flash mode: with the device turned off, hold the volume down and power button. Once the menu shows up, navigate to "Fastboot" with the volume keys and then select it by pressing the power button.
  • You can now proceed flashing postmarketOS as described in Installation/Using pmbootstrap

Flashing the kernel to the boot partition is currently untested. It's possible to use pmbootstrap flasher boot to boot the kernel.

Features

USB networking and ssh: Doesn't work for me. The phone doesn't show up on list of connected devices. It may be either downstream kernel or hardware issue, since the only way to get the phone detected is to move it in fastboot mode.

Wi-Fi: Shows up as wlan0 interface. It's known to work on other HTC devices without much effort, but I didn't figure out how to enable it yet.

Battery: Charging works when the phone is enabled, current state is detected properly. Charging-sdl most likely to not work, because this phone uses recovery for charging when plugged and turned off.

Audio: msm-audio device gets detected, but it's not possible to unmute device volume channel for unknown reason. Probably needs configuration files for ALSA.

Camera: tested with motion, doesn't work.
