How to enter flash mode

Hold Volume Up, then connect to the PC. The LED will turn blue. Alternatively, connect to PC, hold Volume Up and Power until it vibrates and LED turns blue, then release buttons.

Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.

The general instructions Installation_guide#Installation_and_flashing work, i.e. 

pmbootstrap install
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel

Except this will result in a boot loop, however, running the command "pmbootstrap flasher boot" boots normaly... To get the device to boot normaly by itself you can fix the boot image by removing PMOS specific options from the kernel cmdline.

An example of how to do this is to:

  1. Clone LineageOS mkbootimg tools
  2. Unpack the PMOS boot image available at /tmp/postmarketOS-export after runnning "pmbootstrap export"
  3. (Copy the content from "command line args:" but exclude pmos_*)
  4. Repacking with the new cmdline
  5. Then flashing the new image with fastboot

The procedure above can look like this: 

git clone https://github.com/LineageOS/android_system_tools_mkbootimg.git

cd android_system_tools_mkbootimg/

cp /tmp/postmarketOS-export/boot.img .

python3 unpack_bootimg.py --boot_img boot.img --out out

python3 mkbootimg.py --kernel out/kernel --ramdisk out/ramdisk --cmdline "console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 lpm_levels.sleep_disabled=1 boot_cpus=0-5 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 dwc3.maximum_speed=high dwc3_msm.prop_chg_detect=Y coherent_pool=8M sched_enable_power_aware=1 user_debug=31 androidboot.hardware=suzuran buildvariant=userdebug androidboot.selinux=permissive" --out new_boot.img

fastboot flash boot new_boot.img

The device will then boot to PMOS normaly everytime!
