This page is generic installation instructions activated by template transclusion, and looking at the page like this (and not in Edit) won't help you understand it. The parameters expected are:

  • model: MODEL (XO-1 or XO-1.5, case is significant)
  • build: BUILD (which build, e.g. os206)
  • signed: SIGNED (yes or no)
  • release: RELEASE (which release version this build is intended for, e.g. 10.1.2)
  • path: PATH (the path via HTTP to the directory that contains the build file)


How to install

build BUILD of release RELEASE on MODEL.

The build is installed to the internal storage device. You will need a USB drive of at least 1 GB capacity, but only for the duration of the installation.

ALL USER DATA WILL BE ERASED FROM THE LAPTOP!

  • Prepare the USB drive:
    • Download [{{{path}}}/{{{build}}}. {{{build}}}.],
    • Save the file to the top directory of the USB drive,
  • Prepare the laptop:
    • Make a copy of any data you wish to keep,
    • Ensure the battery is in the laptop,
    • Connect the laptop to external power,
    • Turn off the laptop, unless it is already off.
    • Insert the USB drive into any USB port on the laptop,
