How to enter flash mode
Power off the device, hold down the Power and the Volume Up key for 1-2 seconds. Some devices you may need to hold down the Power and the Volume Down key instead.
For unlocking the bootloader see Bootloader#Motorola.
There is some exploit, but it caused bootloops on this particular model according to a community report: https://github.com/alephsecurity/initroot
Mainline Installation
Follow the Installation_guide.
Download lk2nd from https://github.com/msm8916-mainline/lk2nd and flash it to the device. Make sure lk2nd is active before flashing postmarketos kernel.
Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation.
Note: A recent (edge, alpine-release 3.19_alpha20230901) attempt to install via sideloading a recovery zip image fails (#1877, not specific to osprey, but rather to MSM8916). The end of pmos.log file shows:
+ chroot /tmp/postmarketos/chroot /bin/busybox --install /bin chroot: can't execute '/bin/busybox': No such file or directory
Similarly, an attempt to manually flash via fastboot (lk2nd 0.15.0) fails with the error message
unable to mount root partition

The following user interfaces run on the device:
- Xfce4
- Mate
- Sxmo
- Phosh
Known Issues
