How to enter flash mode

  • Bootloader: Power on the device with both Power and Volume Down buttons.
  • Recovery: Power on the device with both Power and Volume Up buttons.

Installation

Note Note: You need to use this pmaports fork instead of the mainline one: https://github.com/sm7150-mainline/pmaports.
  1. Make sure pmbootstrap is installed and your bootloader is unlocked
  2. Run through pmbootstrap init and select xiaomi as the vendor and tucana as the device.
  3. Build the kernel yourself
  4. Generate the rootfs
    • For netbooting pmOS without flashing the phone, run pmbootstrap --extra-space 1000 install --no-sparse and pmbootstrap initfs hook_add netboot
    • If you want to flash pmOS to the phone, run pmbootstrap install
  5. Backup and erase the dtbo partition
    To boot Linux, you'll have to erase the dtbo partition. It is recommended to back it up first if you want to boot Android again
    1. Run dd if=/dev/block/by-name/dtbo of=/sdcard/dtbo.img from a rooted shell on your phone and pull it with adb pull /sdcard/dtbo.img to your computer.
    2. Boot into bootloader mode
    3. Erase the dtbo partition with fastboot erase dtbo
    To restore the partition flash it with fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
  6. Flash the rootfs
    • If you decided to go with netbooting, start the server with pmbootstrap netboot serve
    • If you want to install pmOS to the phones internal storage, run pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
  7. Boot the kernel
    • To boot temporarily, without flashing run pmbootstrap flasher boot
    • To flash the kernel to the boot partition, run pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel and reboot with fastboot reboot

After successfully following this guide, your phone should boot postmarketOS! If you have problems installing, feel free to ask in #sm7150-mainline:matrix.org

Building the latest kernel yourself

Note Note: The latest kernel is under active development and things might not work as expected.
  1. Make sure you installed pmbootstrap from git, as the packaged versions do not include envkernel.sh, which needed for compiling the kernel. Follow this guide to install pmbootstrap from git.
  2. Go through $ pmbootstrap init and select xiaomi-tucana as the device. The UI can be choosen as desired.
  3. Clone the sm7150-mainline kernel fork: $ cd ~/Downloads && git clone https://github.com/sm7150-mainline/linux.git && cd linux.
  4. Prepare envkernel: $ source ~/.local/share/pmbootstrap/helpers/envkernel.sh
  5. Generate the kernel config: $ make defconfig sm7150.config
  6. Build the kernel: $ make -j$(nproc)
  7. After the build has finished, package the built kernel for postmarketOS: $ pmbootstrap build linux-postmarketos-qcom-sm7150 --force --envkernel

Now you can follow the installation guide above.

Mainline

A work in progress mainline kernel is being developed here.

Known issues

  • Sensors work and can checked through ssccli, but iio-sensors-proxy segfaults on startup, so no sensors in the userspace
  • Modem can't work, if there are two SIM cards installed (userspace issue)
  • Randomly I/O errors can appear and break everything (kernel bug)
  • Bluetooth works, but needs setting a MAC address manually via btmgmt on every boot (6.9+ kernel issue)
  • Microphones, 3.5 mm jack and all speakers, excluding the main one, are broken
