I've decided to give Plasma Mobile a try however I've run into an issue.

I'm on Linux and using adb to reboot into the bootloader of a Nexus 5. Formatting the cache and user data works as expected. Running ./pm-flash -p neon does not.
The process seems to halt almost as soon as it starts.

This is the output from running the command.
Code: Select all
~/pm-flashtool$ sudo ./pm-flash -p neon
+ CACHEDIR=cache
+ echo 'Waiting for device to be in the fastboot mode'
Waiting for device to be in the fastboot mode
+ fastboot getvar product
product: hammerhead
finished. total time: 0.000s
++ fastboot getvar product
++ head -1
++ awk '-F: ' '{print $2}'
+ DEVICE_NAME=hammerhead
+ confirm 'Connected device is hammerhead, is that correct? [y/N]'
+ read -r -p 'Connected device is hammerhead, is that correct? [y/N] ' response
Connected device is hammerhead, is that correct? [y/N] y
+ case $response in
+ true
+ PLATFORM=neon
+ echo 'Continuing ...'
Continuing ...
+ getopts cp: opt
+ case $opt in
+ PLATFORM=neon
+ getopts cp: opt
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ download hammerhead neon
+ '[' 2 -eq 0 ']'
+ mkdir -p cache/
+ pushd cache/
~/pm-flashtool/cache ~/pm-flashtool
+ echo 'Downloading latest rootfs ... '
Downloading latest rootfs ...
+ '[' neon == neon ']'
++ curl https://images.plasma-mobile.org/rootfs_stamp
+ ROOTFS_VERSION=
~/pm-flashtool$



Details about the device:
The phone was running Android 6. It was flashed to Cyanogenmod CM-11
The phone is using TWRP v2.8.5.2

Cyanogenmod works correctly so the phone is unlocked and rooted. I thought was the Plasma would flash over Cyanogenmod.

I'm not looking to do anything fancy such as running a multirom. My aim is to run Plasma and that's it.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. Thanks.

If your still having issues I resolved this earlier, I was missing curl.
Solution: Grab curl from the package manager of your distro. mine was ubuntu, so apt-get install curl
