- For versions other than ufi001b/c, please use the more general base-generic.zip, and then use the boot.img of this model to replace the boot.img in debian.zip
- Unzip the base.zip archive.
- Put your device into fastboot mode
- Execute the flash.sh in it
- Unzip the <system name>.zip archive when complete.
- Execute the flash.sh in it
- enjoy!
