Installation
 |
Note: Device has not been merged to pmaports yet (See pmaports!5959) |
Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.
$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install --fde
There are multiple 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 userdata partition:
- Flashing the rootfs to userdata does not allow for dual boot and will wipe all your Android user data
- This method gives you the most available disk space for postmarketOS
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot_b
$ fastboot set_active b
2.Flash rootfs to the super partition:
- This method does not erase your Android user data
- The super partition is rather limited in size
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition super
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot_b
$ fastboot set_active b
