Instructions

Download the Factory Image for your device
Connect device to PC via USB
Start the device in fastboot mode with one of the following methods:
- Using the ADB tool: With the device powered on, execute:
```
adb reboot bootloader
```
- Using a key combo: Turn the device off, then turn it on and immediately hold down the relevant key combination for your device.
Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory.
Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.
(Optional) Lock your bootloader for security purposes using the following commands:
