How to flash

To flash any of the factory images downloaded from the links above, follow the instructions below carefully.

Enable OEM unlocking first
Before you can flash a new image, ensure Developer options are enabled and OEM unlocking is turned on. To do this:

• Tap Settings, then tap System > About phone
• Scroll to the bottom of the page, then tap Build number multiple times until you see the pop-up message “You are now a developer” (It usually takes seven taps)
• Go back one screen to System, then tap Developer options
• Find the option: OEM Unlocking and turn it on

Fastboot mode
Put your Essential Phone into fastboot mode by doing either of the following:

• Connect the phone to PC and use command prompt to run the ADB (how to install ADB) command below:

adb reboot bootloader

• Reboot your phone while holding the Volume-down button

Unlock your bootloader
NOTE: Installing the factory image will erase all information from your device. So remember to backup your phone before continuing.

• Run the command: fastboot flashing unlock
• Press the Volume-down button to navigate to the YES option, then press the Power button to confirm

Flash your factory image
• Download the factory image to your computer
• Unzip the downloaded file
• Go to where you unzipped the images
• For Linux / Mac OS X – Run the command: flashall.sh
• For Windows – Run the command: flashall.bat

Relock your bootloader
After flashing, it’s a good idea to relock your bootloader for security.
• Go back to fastboot mode
• Run the command: fastboot flashing lock

Done.
