Entering "Fastboot mode"

Hold Volume Down + Power, let go of Power once the device display does something (e.g. turns from battery icon to black screen).

Installation

pmbootstrap install
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs

The device must be in bootloader mode. While flashing, it's normal to see "variable not supported!" messages.

Zip installation fails with the message:

E: Error executing updater binary in zip

. The exported boot.img and motorola-ghost.img can be flashed with fastboot, however.

Additional info

The device freezes on the first boot after flashing. Rebooting it fixes the issue.

USB OTG works if USB devices are connected before boot.

An exploit for a locked bootloader exists: http://bits-please.blogspot.com/2016/02/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html

Xfce4 tweaks

  • Disable screensaver and lockscreen (enabled by default). Otherwise screen will become blank and unresponsive, respectively. Once both are disabled, touchscreen will respond to power press, and screen will refresh (incrementally) by touch events. Non-responding screen can be addressed by restarting lightdm. Screen dimming works.
  • Power manager shows charging status correctly. Power-on via charger plug in will result in boot to pmOS since charging-sdl is not implemented.
