To install a stock ROM using Fastboot, follow these steps:
Disclaimer: Flashing a stock ROM can potentially brick your device if done incorrectly. Proceed with caution and make sure you understand the risks involved. Ensure that you have a backup of your important data before proceeding.
-
Install ADB and Fastboot tools on your computer:
For Windows, you can download the platform-tools package from Google's Android Developer website.
For macOS or Linux, you can install ADB and Fastboot using package managers like Homebrew or apt-get.
- Extract the downloaded ROM files to a folder on your computer.
- Install the necessary drivers for your device if you are using Windows. You may find the drivers on the device manufacturer's website.
- Boot your device into Fastboot mode. This usually involves holding a specific key combination (e.g., Volume Down + Power) while the device is off, or by using the
adb reboot bootloader
command while the device is connected to your computer and USB debugging is enabled. - Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
- Open a terminal or command prompt window on your computer, and navigate to the folder where you extracted the ROM files.
-
Run the following commands one by one in the terminal/command prompt:
fastboot flash system system_2.unsparse
...
fastboot flash system system_33.unsparse
Again, make sure you run the command for each
.unsparse
file. - After flashing all the required files, run these commands to wipe cache and reboot the device:
Your device should now boot with the stock ROM. Keep in mind that the first boot may take longer than usual as the system initializes.
