Additional notes

When booting normally, the screen doesn't refresh and is stuck on the Samsung logo, when booting from the charging screen (shutting down and connecting a charger), the screen refreshes normally and shows the pmOS splash screen. SSH in other UIs and the screen when booting from the charging screen works since pmaports!5975. Note: The device won't generate a random MAC address.

How to enter flash mode

  • Download mode: While the device is off hold Power, Volume Down and Home button to boot it into download mode, afterwards confirm the operation by pressing Volume Up.
  • Recovery mode: While the device is off hold Power, Volume Up and Home button to boot it into recovery mode.
