I recently bought a used Nexus 5X that has already been rooted and had Lineage OS installed on it. I wanted to convert it to Plasma Mobile but every time I try to flash it with the command

sudo ./pm-flash

I get an error message part way through. I included the entire output if it helps but the error is found at the very end.

neon@neon:/usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/pm-flashtool$ sudo ./pm-flash -p neon

./fetch-demo.sh: 16: ./fetch-demo.sh: pushd: not found

If someone could help find out why it snags at the last line I would appreciate it.

(I am running Linux Mint 18 Xfce if that helps.)

^{(Note: this was originally posted by the OP as an edit to the question).}

I emailed plasma mobile and I got the answer:

The problem is that /bin/sh used by the fetch-demo.sh script links to /bin/dash on Debian and derivatives like Linux Mint. And since dash doesn't support the pushd support, the script crashes.

To fix this, the fetch-demo.sh script should run in Bash. I just submitted a patch to fix this by default: https://github.com/plasma-phone-packaging/pm-flashtool/pull/36

If you don't want to wait until it is accepted, edit the first line of fetch-demo.sh from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash.
