# Keep in mind...

- System is Read-Only (restricts making changes to overlays, system APKs, etc.) - DO NOT USE any other recovery than YAAP recovery which is included. - Use the RESPECTIVE recovery for RESPECTIVE builds. (e.g if you want to flash vanilla build, use vanilla recovery, if you want to flash gapps build, flash gapps recovery) - You MUST format data with given YAAP recovery. - YOU MUST CLEAN FLASH if you are coming from any other ROM or stock. - Formatting with YAAP Recovery (yes, I mean YAAP Recovery ONLY) is MUST during clean flash. - First boot WILL take 5-10 minutes, DO NOT PANIC! (only applicable to 20241009 build) - Required Firmware: Android 14 U1TD34M.94-12-7 or newer. Do not flash on Android 15 firmware. - Any slot must not be empty, meaning if you have ever used blankflash or flashed stock ROM using RSA or got a new phone, then make sure you got any ota, otherwise don't flash! - Do NOT try to flash gapps on vanilla build, it WILL NOT work! - Do NOT try to flash anything other than the ROM in recovery, it WILL NOT work! - SD card flashing only supports vFAT(FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) and exFAT filesystems.

# For first-timers(SD card):

- Download ROM zip and vendor_boot.img. - Copy ROM zip to SD card. - Boot to bootloader. - Run __fastboot reboot fastboot__ - Run __fastboot flash vendor\_boot vendor\_boot.img__ - Run __fastboot reboot bootloader__ - Run __fastboot reboot recovery__ - Format data with the recovery. - Click apply update with SD card. - Choose the ROM zip and click the power button to confirm. - Reboot to system once it is flashed.

# For dirty-flashers:

- Download ROM zip. - Boot to recovery. - Click apply for update. - Run __adb sideload YAAP*.zip__ - Reboot to system.

# For OTA-flashers:

- Boot back to system. - Go to Settings->System->YAAP Updater. - Click Download. - Be very patient after this step as __*OTA is a slow process and will take approximately 30-45 minutes*__ (It would specifically be stuck at 68% for that amount of time alone!). - Reboot after it is done.
