Notes

Warning

All your data will be erased! Back up now if needed.

Do not run the same command twice.

DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE if you think you made a mistake, ask for help in the Telegram chat.

Do not run all commands at once, execute them in order!

Important

Make sure you use the MODDED Recovery throughout this whole tutorial as we provide tools to help aid this installation process and make it as easy as possible for you.

If you don't use it and you face any errors, consider it your fault and consider yourself alone if you try asking for support as you have deferred from the main guide.

Opening CMD as an admin

Download platform-tools and extract the folder somewhere, then open CMD as an administrator.

It is recommended to keep this window open and use it throughout the entire guide.

Replace path\to\platform-tools with the actual path to the platform-tools folder, for example C:\platform-tools.

cd path\to\platform-tools

Note

If your device is not detected in fastboot or recovery mode, you'll have to install USB drivers using this guide

Flash the modded recovery

While in fastboot mode, replace path\to\moddedtwrp.img with the actual path to the modded recovery image

fastboot flash recovery path\to\moddedtwrp.img reboot recovery

Backing up your boot image

This will back up your boot image in the current directory

adb pull /dev/block/by-name/boot boot.img

Unmount data

Ignore any possible errors and continue

adb shell umount /dev/block/by-name/userdata

Resizing partition table

adb shell sgdisk --resize-table 64 /dev/block/sda

Preparing for partitioning

adb shell parted /dev/block/sda

Printing the current partition table

Parted will print the list of partitions, userdata should be the last partition in the list.

print

Removing userdata

Replace $ with the number of the userdata partition, which should be 32

rm $

Recreating userdata

Replace 11.7GB with the former start value of userdata which we just deleted

Replace 70GB with the end value you want userdata to have. In this example Android will have 70-11.7 = 58.3GB of usable space

mkpart userdata ext4 11.7GB 70GB

Creating ESP partition

Replace 70GB with the end value of userdata

Replace 70.4GB with the value you used before, adding 0.4GB to it

mkpart esp fat32 70GB 70.4GB

Creating Windows partition

Replace 70.4GB with the end value of esp

mkpart win ntfs 70.4GB -0MB

Making ESP bootable

Use print to see all partitions. Replace "$" with your ESP partition number, which should be 33

set $ esp on

Exit parted

quit

Formatting Windows and ESP partitions

adb shell mkfs.ntfs -f /dev/block/sda34 -L WINVAYU

adb shell mkfs.fat -F32 -s1 /dev/block/sda33 -n ESPVAYU

Formatting data

• Format all data in TWRP, or Android will not boot.
• ( Go to Wipe > Format data > type yes )

Check if Android still starts

• Just restart the phone, and see if Android still works
