Step by step guide for Flashing to device memory
- Build image (on your computer) and prepare the installation as usual
$ pmbootstrap init $ pmbootstrap build device-samsung-i9000 $ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk
-- Set phone to ODIN mode
-- Set image for NETCAT flash method
$ pmbootstrap initfs hook_add debug-shell
-- Flash Kernel and Recovery (phone will reboot to screen "debug-shell is active" [1])
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
-- Check USB network connection to phone
ping 172.16.42.1
(if it does not ping, try replugging usb cable few times)
-- If USB network connection is still not up: check for correct link with ip a
$ sudo ip l set enp0s20u2 address 12:12:12:12:12:12 $ sudo dhclient -v enp0s20u2
-- Connect to phone with telnet
$ telnet 172.16.42.1
-- Start netcat to listen for image (on the phone) /dev/mmcblk0p2 should be FACTORYFS partition you check by running fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0
/ # nc -v -l -p 60000 > /dev/mmcblk0p2
-- Switch to pmboostrap chroot (on the computer in other terminal)
$ pmbootstrap chroot --suffix native
-- Install pv (in the chroot)
/ # apk add pv
-- Send image from computer to netcat (on the computer)
