This device is supported as part of a generic port. Refer to Generic MSM89x7 (qcom-msm89x7) for installation instructions and more information. |
| This device has been archived. This means that it no longer appears in pmbootstrap and is likely broken. It can still be selected in pmbootstrap init by typing in the vendor and codename, but you will have to build the kernel package manually. |

How to enter flash mode
hold Power On and Volume Down buttons while device is powered off.
The device has to be unlocked before images can be replaced. It is strongly suggested to use TWRP recovery (twrp-perry-3.2.1-r1.img verified to work) if debugging is necessary. If the device does not boot it is possible to access log from last attempt at sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops via TWRP.
Installation
This port uses the qcom-msm89x7 generic port so:
$ pmbootstrap install
plug the device to computer and switch it to the fastboot mode
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_lk2nd
Then restart the phone into lk2nd and run
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
and then reset the device.
Enjoy!
Additional information
This section contained information on the downstream port not being compatible with edge's xorg-server. Since the device is now running a mainline kernel, this is no longer true.
Hardware / sensors detail
For reference, sensor information from sensors sandbox (f-droid) on SKU xt1766; note that in addition to hardware-based sensors, it presumably includes software-based / derived sensors:
