How to enter flash mode

Hold Vol Up + Vol Down to Enter EDL mode. No special loader is required, it can be found included with edl.py

Installation

Build lk2nd-msm8909 from this repo and flash via edl.py into the boot partition. After that, you can use pmbootstrap flasher commands to flash postmarketOS via the fastboot interface provided by lk2nd. To access lk2nd after flashing, wait until the phone vibrates the first time on boot up before holding Vol Down

WiFi

WiFi mostly works, but causes occasional kernel panics that force the device to reboot. It seems to happens randomly, but the crash can be forced by running sudo apk add gcc. this crash is being investigated.
