How to enter flash mode
WARNING: Don't update to oneUI 8 or higher, unlocking only works until oneUI 7.0 |
If not done so, go to the developer settings and enable OEM unlocking. Then reboot to Odin mode which can be done with two ways:
- 1. (Hard, but achievable) Power down the phone, then connect power cable from PC, and hold volume up with volume down simultaneously. If the turquoise menu appears, follow the steps to unlock the bootloder
- 2. (Easy) Deplete the battery (let it sit around 3 days without charging) and then do the same as in the first option.
Installation
Install pmbootstrap, then initialize it and select this device. Then type these commands:
pmbootstrap install
pmbootstrap export --odin
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
And it should be done.
