j6lte
and Xfce4 UI withpmbootstrap init
- Generate the rootfs with
pmbootstrap install
to install postmarketOS to the phone orpmbootstrap install --sdcard /dev/sdX
to install it on an SD card. - Generate the flashable images with
pmbootstrap export
. They will be stored in/tmp/postmarketOS-export
, or you can specify another location like this:pmbootstrap export /home/user/Downloads/pmos
- Reboot into download mode
- Flash postmarketOS with
pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload
(Remember to unmount all partitions first.) - The phone should reboot straight into postmarketOS.
Flashing with heimdall and TWRP gets stuck, so use adb sideloading to get postmarketOS flashed. |
