Keep in mind…
- DO NOT flash the wrong build of YAAP. Check whether your phone is Pixel 7 (panther) or Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah), the builds are not the same for both phones.
- 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.
- 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!
For first-timers:
- Download ROM zip and vendor_boot.img.
- Boot to bootloader.
- Run fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
- Run fastboot reboot recovery
- Format data with the recovery.
- Click apply for update.
- Run adb sideload YAAP*.zip
- Reboot to system.
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 a while.
- Reboot after it is done.
