|
||||
|
||||
1. Gain developer privilege (figure out yourself :-P)
|
||||
2. Reboot to bootloader

||||
```
|
||||
$ adb reboot bootloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Unlock the bootloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ fastboot oem unlock # Might have to be the superuser.
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Download the recovery image for device from [here](http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
|
||||
and flash it
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ fastboot flash recovery
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Get the [superuser binary](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053).
|
||||
6. Reboot the device and put it in the sdcard (or any storage you have,)
|
||||
7. Reboot to the recovery and flash it.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ adb reboot recovery
|
||||
```
