# PostmarketOS for Xiaomi Angelican (Redmi 9C NFC)
This port also might work on angelica (without NFC) and other phones on MT6765 processors.
## Roadmap
- [x] Kernel compiling
- [ ] Kernel loading (see kernel-trouble file)
- [ ] SSH
- [ ] Screen
## How to install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/MeexReay/pmos-xiaomi-angelican.git
cd pmos-xiaomi-angelican
./extract-paths.sh
ln -s $PWD/linux-xiaomi-angelican $PMAPORTS/device/testing
ln -s $PWD/device-xiaomi-angelican $PMAPORTS/device/testing
```
## How to flash
Firstly, you need to unlock bootloader (See section below).
Enter fastboot mode (hold vol- and pwr buttons while turned off), and run this commands:
```bash
pmbootstrap init # if you didnt init yet
pmbootstrap install # if you havent done that yet
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs # connect usb cable AFTER running
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel # connect usb cable AFTER running
pmbootstrap chroot fastboot reboot # connect usb cable AFTER running
```
## How to unlock bootloader
### Drivers
#### Windows
Install usb drivers:
- [https://mtkdriver.com/](mtkdriver.com)

#### Linux
TODO: write about usb drivers, but they seem to be preinstalled
### Unlocking
```bash
git clone https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
cd mtkclient
pip -r install requirements.txt
git clone https://github.com/coloredmarble/redmi_9a_mtkclient

python mtk.py da seccfg unlock --preload preloader_k62v1_64_bsp.bin --loader n.bin
# power off phone, hold vol+ and vol- at same time and connect usb cable
