  1. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode

  2. Open cmd and go to the folder where platform tools are (DO NOT USE POWERSHELL!)

  3. Enter following commands by copypasting one by one:

    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
    fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

  4. Reboot your phone to recovery mode, click "Install update" -> "ADB Sideload"

  5. In cmd enter command: 

    adb sideload Nameless-AOSP_xxx.zip

  6. Wait until your device shows Step 2/2 and back arrow appears. Click back arrow, then click "Factory reset" -> "Format data/factory reset" -> "Format data"
