- Open the command prompt in your computer by pressing the “Win + R”, enter “cmd” to press enter. Now, in the command prompt enter the below mentioned command,
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

Now, in the recovery mode, with the help of Volume rocker keys, navigate to the option “install zip from sd card” to select the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” which you have placed in the phone.
