How to enter flash mode

1. The easiest way is to turn off your phone and press the Power button and the Volume Down button at the same time.

Installation

Note, this is an A/B device. Errors that arise during flashing may show up as irreproduceable boot or boot-looping sequences, but are hopefully not as dangerous as on older devices. Assure that you have a suitable backup of any vital data on the device.

1. Install lk2nd. You'll need to clone the master-sdm632 branch at msm8953-mainline/lk2nd. Follow the instructions for building, and flash build-msm8953-secondary/lk2nd.img like you would with any boot image. It may be useful to make note of the boot slot. Also, the unsatisfying bootloader warning message is apparently to be expected, 

$ fastboot flash boot build-msm8953-secondary/lk2nd.img
 (bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
 (bootloader) is-logical:boot_a: not found
 Sending 'boot_a' (258 KB)                          OKAY [  0.006s]
 Writing 'boot_a'                                   (bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
 OKAY [  0.058s]


2. Boot into lk2nd (either via fastboot reboot or by powering off then staring). While the "Bootloader is unlocked" warning appears, press Volume Down. A Tux logo and a screen should appear. Note that the screen will not explicitly display lk2nd, but will rather show product name msm8953-secondary. Also, at present the top center camera notch may obscure a portion of the selected menu item text.

3. Do the installation steps you would find at Installation guide. Flash all the necessary stuff (make sure to install the kernel inside lk2nd!) . Note that diverging from the standard flashing steps, say, by booting the kernel rather than explicitly flashing it, will probably cause (recoverable) boot-looping behavior (and lk2nd itself may disappear) after some number of subsequent boot attempts .

4. Select "START" in lk2nd, and let your device do it's thing. Hopefully a SSH connection will get open eventually :)

Modem

While with a little effort you can make modem start and work, see MSM8953#Modem. Please add any device-specific instructions here. ModemManager recently accepted a MR for supporting QRTR modems(that's us!), but it seems to work only on SDM845 phones.

Note If you still want modem for calls and messages ask "ultra (she/her)" on Matrix in the mean time!
