Before starting the firmware using a computer, do not forget to enable USB debugging of the device in the engineering settings of the device.

- Put your smartphone in fastboot mode and write the prompt in the command line: fastbooflash zip filename.zip, where filename.zip is the name of your firmware.
- Wait for the end of the installation and reboot the device.
