Installation

Insert SDCard with enough space for backup
Boot into bootloader (see How to enter flash mode above)
Run fastboot boot recovery.img to boot the TWRP recovery without flashing it
Go to 'Backup' and select SDCard as storage; swipe to start backup; wait until backup is finished. Take out SDCard.

Flashing TWRP

Boot into bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Flashing postmarket OS

Flash using an external SD card for system, boot kernel without flashing through fastboot. Fastboot seems to crash when flashing system and using an Android recovery zip seemed unsuccessful as well.

Follow the installation guide to init pmbootstrap
Put pmos on an SD card: pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sdX (change /dev/sdX to the SD card)
Insert SD card into phone.
Put phone into fastboot mode (see above)
Boot kernel without flashing: pmbootstrap flasher boot
You should be able to see and ping the phone via network over USB soonish, but booting to the point where the ssh daemon takes approx 60s.

Wifi

wifi works

In order to start the wifi you have to load the kernel module and bring the interface up with the following commands:

sudo modprobe wlan
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

Setup WiFi with iproute2
