Information

This phone is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5 (klte). The device-samsung-hlte support in pmaports was based on device-samsung-klte, and the kernel DTS also borrowed heavily from klte work. See the klte wiki page here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S5_(samsung-klte)

Back cover

The back cover coating will degrade after 5 to 10 years and become sticky. Using adhesive remover (30% acetone and 70% isopropyl alcohol) it is possible to remove the worst parts with a spudger, but the corners are not easy to clean. A better solution is needed.

How to enter flash mode

Press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power simultaneously. Then click Volume Up to confirm.

How to enter recovery mode

Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power simultaneously.

Installation

First, install pmbootstrap.

Setup device to be used: 

$ pmbootstrap init
...
Vendor [samsung]: samsung <- enter this
Device codename [i9100]: hlte <- enter this
User interface [weston]:               <- choose any UI by your preference
...

Build the rootfs image: 

$ pmbootstrap install

Then in order to flash it put your device in download mode, and plug it in USB. Then do: 

$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs

 Hold "Volume down" + "Home" buttons at the end of the process,
 so that when phone reboots put it in flashing mode again 

$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel

 This time, don't hold any button, let it reboot to Linux!
