Install Instructions

Prerequisite

• ADB & FASTBOOT
• UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
• FRP UNLOCKED(OEM UNLOCKING TURN ON)
• CURRENT EMUI/ANDROID VERSION : EMUI 9.1

TWRP

FLASH LIKE YOU ARE FLASHING A ROM.(DID NOT TEST AS I DO NOT HAVE TWRP ON 7X)

USING ADB & FASTBOOT

LINE 1 IS FOR CMD WHILE LINE 2 IS FOR POWERSHELL

1a. Boot into Bootloader via adb

adb reboot bootloader
.\adb reboot bootloader

1b. Boot into Bootloader via buttons

1. switch off the phone
2. connect to pc via USB data cable
3. press and hold pwr + vol-

2. Flashing the System Image

fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly.img (LineageOS or RR)
.\fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly.img

fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img (AOSP w/ GAPPS and Root)
.\fastboot flash system system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img

fastboot flash systemsystem-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img (AOSP)
.\fastboot flash systemsystem-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img

3. Reboot

fastboot reboot
.\fastboot reboot

POST FLASH INSTRUCTIONS

After entering the reboot command, your 7x will reboot and you will see the warning screen where it tells you that your device is unlocked. On that screen "PRESS AND HOLD THE VOLUME UP KEY" to boot into erecovery to perform a Factory Reset. If you do not, the phone will boot loop until it forces you too.

Additional Notes

• When flashing a Gsi, sometimes the system image size gets reduced to the flashed image, to solve this simply resize the system partition via TWRP
