How to enter flash mode
Fastboot
- Shutdown the device completely.
- Hold the Volume Down and Power button simultaneously.
Backup
Backup super, dtbo & boot partition's by using a recovery program such as TWRP.
Team Win Recovery Project
Use TWRP:
Download and flash TWRP via bootloader
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ adb shell
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/super of=/sdcard/super.img
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/dtbo of=/sdcard/dtbo.img
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
# exit
$ adb pull /sdcard/super.img
$ adb pull /sdcard/dtbo.img
$ adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
Installation
Install pmbootstrap and execute:
$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install
Before installing rootfs, please erase dtbo
$ fastboot erase dtbo
Flash rootfs to the super partition:
- This method does not erase your Android user data
- The super partition is rather limited in size
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition super
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel --partition boot
$ fastboot reboot
