Fastboot Mode

When you access Fastboot Mode, you can view information about the SoC and whether the bootloader (DEVICE STATE) is locked or unlocked.

While in Fastboot Mode you can use a computer to issue Fastboot commands to flash firmware to the device and manage the current slot that the bootloader is using to boot the operating system.

You can also use Volume Up + Volume Down to select an action from the menu at the top of the screen, and Power to select the action; which include powering off the device, continuing booting to the operating system, and restarting the bootloader which is useful if Fastboot commands are failing.

Enter Fastboot Mode

With the device unplugged and powered off, hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. Once you feel the device power on, continue holding Volume Up + Volume Down until you reach Fastboot Mode.

Unlock the bootloader

Before installing postmarketOS you have to unlock your bootloader.

If your device is not carrier locked

The following is all that's needed to unlock the bootloader:

  • If you does not have the bootloader-code,please buy it with e.g. Taobao or ask a friend to help you e.g. Coolapk or XDA
  • Refer to "how to enter flash mode" above to get into fastboot mode, then re-attach your USB cable. Run the following command on your host:
fastboot oem unlock bootloader-code
  • Read the message displayed on your device screen, once you're happy confirm the unlock. THIS WILL ERASE YOUR DEVICE.
