Samsung Galaxy On7 (2015) (samsung-on7)

From postmarketOS Wiki
Note This page is about the dedicated port of this device. There is also an optional generic port available for this device - see Generic MSM8916 (qcom-msm8916).
This device has been archived. This means that it no longer appears in pmbootstrap and is likely broken.
It can still be selected in pmbootstrap init by typing in the vendor and codename, but you will have to build the kernel package manually.

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.
