Flashing with heimdall and TWRP gets stuck, so use adb sideloading to get postmarketOS flashed. |
Installation
Follow the installation instructions as usual, but use adb sideloading.
pmbootstrap init pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload # Remember to unmount all partitions first.

msm-fb-refresher, which despite its name is not exclusive to msm SoCs, is required if you didn't choose weston as your ui, so to add it do pmbootstrap init and press enter until you get to additional packages, add msm-fb-refresher there. |
