How To Install July Update Factory Images on your Nexus/Pixel device

Note: Installing this factory image will erase all data from the device. Kindly backup your device and its contents before proceeding

Prerequisites

• Fastboot Tools and Drivers (SDK- Platform Tools) | Download
• Unlocked Bootloader | Guide

Instructions

1.  Download the Factory Image for your device
2. Connect device to PC via USB
3. 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.
4. Open a terminal and navigate to the unzipped system image directory.
5. Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.
6. (Optional) Lock your bootloader for security purposes using the following commands:
   • For New Devices:

     fastboot flashing lock

   • For Old Devices:

     fastboot oem lock

Note: Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. After locking the bootloader, if you want to flash the device again, you must run fastboot oem unlock again, which will wipe the data.
