We know that our son's Nexus series is basically a "dedicated machine" model, and many third-party ROMs are first launched on the Nexus series, and this time Ubuntu is no exception. The Ubuntu flash process is also very "regular". You can use Fastboot to import Boot, Recovery, etc., and then use Recovery to import the zip flash package.

The above documents (Nexus 4, i.e. Mako, shall prevail here).

Then rename the first three files boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img as shown in the figure, and then place them in the folder of the Fastboot tool. Take the rest Put in the phone's built-in memory card ▼

At cmd, type the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After the img is flushed, enter the Recovery mode (which has just been flushed through Fastboot) Immediately after restart, the whole process is not different from the ROM of Android.
