How to enter flash mode

Press and hold Volume Down + Bixby + Power simultaneously. Then click Volume Up 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
