Flash prebuilt image to your Nexus 4

After downloding our prebuit image for Nexus 4, you should unlock the bootloader of your phone:


          $ adb reboot bootloader
          $ fastboot devices
          $ fastboot oem unlock
        

Then use the following commands to flash the image (Please understand the risk of flashing your phone, and make sure to do back-up of important data):


          $ tar zxvf ipSheild-AOSP.tar.gz
          $ cd ipSield-AOSP
          $ export $ANDROID_PRODUCT_PATH=$PWD
          $ adb reboot bootloader
          $ fastboot -w flashall
