How to enter flash mode

Power + vol-

Installation

  • Flash lk2nd-msm8916
  • Enter lk2nd menu (boot the phone and then press vol- after first vibration)
  • Run pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata and reboot after it's complete

Audio

Audio mostly works (including calls), although it is enabled only in testing fork due to few problems.

Battery charging and USB OTG

The charger driver is not implemented, meaning that the device might not be able to charge the battery in some cases (and certainly won't indicate that it is charging) and USB OTG devices might work only with external power supply when running the mainline kernel .
