Installing Tesla OS from
recovery
- Make sure your computer has working adb.
- Download the Tesla OS package for your device that you'd like to install to your computer.
- Optional: Download 3rd party applications packages, like Google Apps which are necessary to download apps from Google Play.
- Boot to recovery mode, and connect the phone to your computer through USB.
- With the device powered down, hold the
Volume Down and Power buttons.
- In ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power
button is used to confirm a menu selection, but for some devices a physical home key acts as a selector. Some devices have touch enabled ClockworkMod Recovery, in which case you may be able to swipe to, or touch, menu selections.
- Optional (Recommended): Select backup and
restore to create a backup of your current ROM.
- Select wipe data/factory reset.
- You have two options for transferring and installing the installation packages. The sideload method is more universal across devices, whereas the push and
install method is more commonly used:
- Sideload
method: select install zip >
install zip from sideload. Follow the on-screen notices to install the package. The installer does not necessarily display an "Install complete." message. You can tell the install is complete if there were no fatal error messages and you have
regained control over the menu.
- Push
and install method: Open a command prompt (or Terminal on Mac and Linux) and navigate to the directory holding the package(s) you would like to install. On the device, navigate to the
mounts and storage menu. If you see
/storage/sdcard0
or
/sdcard
as a mountable volume, go ahead and mount it. If you do not see one of these partitions, then instead mount the
/data
partition. Take note of which
volume you mounted. Now, push the package(s) to your device (also, see tip below):
-
- - If you mounted
/storage/sdcard0, then:
adb
push update.zip
/storage/sdcard0/
- - If you mounted /sdcard or
/data, then:
adb push
update.zip /sdcard/
- where
update.zip
should be replaced with the package filename. Go back to the main menu and select install zip. Choose to install from the same directory where you pushed the package(s). If you are installing multiple packages,
install Tesla OS first and then install any subsequent packages on top of it.
- Once installation has finished, return to the main menu and select reboot system now. The device will now boot into Tesla OS.
