Versions and naming schemes

The On7 has a couple of versions that got released:

  • SM-G6000: China Open Release (seems to be o7lte-chn in downstream sources)
  • SM-G600F: Turkey Release (might be o7lte-swa in downstream sources, needs more research)
  • SM-G600FY: Bangladesh/Brazil/Cambodia/India/Indonesia/Morocco/Nepal/Philippines/Sri Lanka/Thailand/UAE/Vietnam Release (seems to be o7lte-swa (Southwest-Asia?) in downstream sources), shares name with On7 Pro, which may be slightly different. Needs more research.
  • SM-G600S: Korean Release, Also known as Samsung Galaxy Wide (seems to be on7lte-kor/on7n in downstream sources)

How compatible these devices are with eachother is unclear. If anyone has one of these devices and wants to test out mainline, lmk on Matrix/IRC by mentioning jja2000

How to enter flash mode

Download mode: When turned off hold Power + Volume Up + Home

lk2nd Fastboot: Boot up the device after installation

Installation

lk2nd is a secondary bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface, which can be used to boot postmarketOS without Android boot flashed or pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel.

  1. Download lk2nd-msm8916.img from Releases page on Github.
  2. Boot your phone to bootloader (Odin/Download) mode by holding Volume Down and Home while powering up.
  3. Follow lk2nd instructions to install lk2nd. Basically flash it to the boot partition (heimdall flash --BOOT lk2nd-msm8916.img
  4. Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation to install postmarketOS.
Note Note: Enter lk2nd fastboot mode by pressing only Volume Down + Power (without Home). Pressing Home additionally will bring you to the Samsung Download mode.
