How to enter flash mode
Press and hold
+ + simultaneously. Then click to confirm.Installation
Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.
$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip --recovery-install-partition data
$ pmbootstrap export ./
- Unmount data partition before you flash in recovery
Move the generated zip to the device:
$ adb push pmos.zip /tmp # Then manually flash the zip in twrp
or
$ adb sideload pmos.zip
If all went well, you should now have Post Market os installed! Have fun!
Getting logs
Run the following in a TWRP shell to mount the pmos rootfs, and access the logs
$ mkdir /mnt/pmOS
$ mount -t ext4 -rw /dev/mapper/sda25p2 /mnt/pmOS
You should now be able to access the rootfs, with logs, at /mnt/pmOS
