Installation

At the moment flashing is not working, so it is necessary to install to sdcard and then live boot from fastboot.

Installing to sdcard works with the command

# Replace /dev/sdX with the device for your sdcard
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdX

Now place the sdcard into the phone. Assuming that the bootloader is unlocked, it is possible to get to fastboot by following steps

  1. Disconnect and reconnect the battery.
  2. Hold volume up while connecting phone to computer with a usb cable.

Now it is possible to live boot.

$ pmbootstrap flasher boot

The screen doesn't work yet, so for now the only way to find out if it booted is by usb networking or the maximum attention hook.
