How to enter flash mode
You have to press Power + Volume Down to enter the bootloader.
Installation
In order to install postmarketOS the bootloader must be unlocked. Unlocking is done by following the official process provided by Xiaomi (read the FAQ for detailed instructions).
Follow Installation guide using pmbootstrap to build your own image.
1. Run pmbootstrap init and select xiaomi as vendor and clover as device.
2. Follow the onscreen instruction and configure as your needs.
Next, we will build the system:
$ pmbootstrap install
Flash the kernel and rootfs:
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
Installation to SD card
You can take advantage of Mi Pad 4's SD card slot to install postmarketOS for testing.
Install to the SD card:
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sde
To boot from SD, with the device in fastboot mode (with device off, press Power + Volume Down until it enters fastboot mode), type:
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot
Note: This uses pmbootstrap from your computer to boot postmarketOS from the SD card without disturbing your bootloader or your system.
