Users owning this device

  • DolphinChips (Notes: Current daily driver)
  • Xproot (Notes: (2GB/32GB) Battery really degraded. Doesn't have pmOS installed)

Issues

  • Phone gets stuck somewhere when shutting down when using Nougat firmware
  • X11 doesn't work (requires kernel patching)

How to enter flash mode

Power + Volume Down buttons or use adb reboot bootloader

Installation

Installation on sdcard

$ pmbootstrap init # Select motorola-montana device
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/YOURSDCARD # Replace YOURSDCARD with sdcard's blockdevice (example: mmcblk0, don't forget to plug your sdcard in your PC before entering this command!)
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot # To boot kernel without flashing it

Installation on internal memory

This is untested, but kubast2 had success with Android Recovery Zip.
