How to enter flash mode

  • Download mode: Hold Volume Up and Volume Down while connecting the device to a computer with a USB cable.
  • Recovery mode: Hold Volume Up and Power while the phone is off.

Secondary bootloader

This device has problems booting mainline Linux due to the fact that Samsung uses device tree fragments, and the combined device tree can (and will) mess up the booting process. To remedy that, we use a secondary bootloader.

uniLoader

Support for this device is implemented in a uniLoader, per this PR:
