Nokia N9 (nokia-n9)

From postmarketOS


Note This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way.


Icon WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) has been considering dropping it.
In some cases, the processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly.

How to enter flash mode

This device is pretty similar to Nokia N950, with minor differences in kernel. Bootloader has same problems. See https://elinux.org/N950

Kernel can be started without flashing, using:

$ sudo /data/l/maemo/0xffff/src/0xFFFF -m kernel:vmlinuz-nokia-n9-dtb -m initfs:initramfs-nokia-n9 -l -b

Note that attempt to pass command line arguments will result in kernel not booting on some devices, and that by booting custom kernel you get permanent boot slowdown with "you have modified your system" message.

Notes

Installation

Might be possible using Nemo flashing image.
