How to flash original android completely on Mac?
Download TWRP (Bootloader)
TWRP allow you install other unofficial systems to you phone. Choose the right twrp according to your phone.
Download ROM for Android 10 (Like Linux ISO)
There are different types of Android ROM, and I choose Pixelexperience for Xiaomi_Redmi_Note_5/Plus because I love google product and I’m using Redmi 5 Plus.
Install ADB and Flashboot for mac use one command (Some Tools)
brew cask install android-platform-tools
Make sure the following cmd worked:
adb --version
fastboot --version
Open Debug Mode on your phone, and use USB cable connect your phone to your Mac. In your Mac Terminal:
adb devices
Unlock XiaoMi (So that you can install unofficial systems)
Download XiaoMiToolV2 to unlock RedMi 5 Plus according its guide.
Delete something (Something like format, partition)
adb reboot bootloader
Wait the phone to enter fastboot mode.
And then,
fastboot -w
This is important because if you haven’t do this. You will meet some
problems like Error: Can't mount /data/
.
Burn Recovery TWRP to your phone. (Install bootloader)
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
And wait to the phone to enter fastboot mode.
Send your ROM to your Phone using ADB
And In your Mac terminal, cd to the path of your ROM, run
adb push PixelExperience_vince-10.0-20200409-1002-OFFICIAL.zip /sdcard/
and wait the transferring complete.
Install the new system.
Then on your phone, choose install
, and select your ROM.
And wait, until it let you reboot your phone.
