Information
 |
This device has a separate ramdisk and kernel partitions. |
|
This device has a locked bootloader. |
Although it has only been tested with AUM-L41, technically, this should work with both AUM and LND models that have the MSM89*7 SoC.
How to Enter Flash Mode
Hold the Power and Volume Down buttons (while connected to the USB) to boot into fastboot.
Installation
|
The fastboot boot command works. You can use pmbootstrap flasher boot to boot without flashing. |
Hard Way Around
|
eRecovery has its own kernel and ramdisk partitions. |
You need to separately flash initramfs as ramdisk and vmlinuz as kernel.
You can flash pmOS to either the system (ramdisk & kernel), the first recovery (recovery_ramdisk & kernel), or the second recovery (erecovery_ramdisk & erecovery_kernel).
Use mkbootimg.
Make the ramdisk image:
$ ./mkbootimg --kernel /dev/null --ramdisk /path/to/file/initramfs --base 0x80000000 --kernel_offset 0x00008000 --ramdisk_offset 0x02000000 --second_offset 0x00f00000 --tags_offset 0x00000100 --pagesize 2048 --header_version 0 -o /path/to/file/pmOS_RAMDISK.img
Make the kernel image:
$ ./mkbootimg --kernel /path/to/file/vmlinuz --ramdisk /dev/null --base 0x80000000 --kernel_offset 0x00008000 --ramdisk_offset 0x02000000 --second_offset 0x00f00000 --tags_offset 0x00000100 --pagesize 2048 --header_version 0 -o /path/to/file/pmOS_KERNEL.img
