How to enter flash mode

You have to press Power + Volume Down to enter the bootloader.

Backup

This section is Optional

Backup super partiton, either by using Magisk (need root) or without root using a recovery program such as TWRP or Orange Fox.

Method 1: Magisk

Use Magisk:

 $ adb shell
 $ su
 # dd if=/dev/block/by-name/super of=/sdcard/super.img
 # exit
 $ exit
 $ adb pull /sdcard/super.img

Method 2: Orange Fox Recovery Project

Use Orange Fox Recovery Project:

Download and rename "OrangeFox-23.07.04-Unofficial-elish.img" to "boot.img"

 $ mv OrangeFox-23.07.04-Unofficial-elish.img boot.img
 $ fastboot boot boot.img
 $ adb shell
 # dd if=/dev/block/by-name/super of=/sdcard/super.img
 # exit
 $ adb pull /sdcard/super.img

Installation

Install pmbootstrap and execute:

 $ pmbootstrap init
 $ pmbootstrap install

Note: pmbootstrap will ask you to select panel variant, check kernel command line

msm_drm.dsi_display0=qcom,mdss_dsi_k81_42_02_0a_dual_cphy_video is CSOT panel msm_drm.dsi_display0=qcom,mdss_dsi_k81_35_02_0b_dual_cphy_video is BOE panel

There are two ways to flash rootfs:

Before installing rootfs, please erase dtbo_b (dtbo_a reserved for android)

$ fastboot erase dtbo_b

1.Flash rootfs to the super partition:

 $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition super
 $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot_b
 $ fastboot set_active b

2.Use fastboot to flash rootfs to system_b partition (dual boot):

 $ fastboot set_active a
 $ fastboot reboot fastboot
 $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition system_b
 $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot_b
 $ fastboot reboot bootloader
 $ fastboot set_active b

SSH into the device (Full instructions):

 $ ssh user@172.16.42.1

Issues

keyboard

In mainline kernel, goio155 seems unavailable, which controls WN8031F(KEYBOARD SOC) to exit sleep mode. It causes keyboard disconnect after 6 seconds. Currently, there are no ways to fix it.
