Build New boot.img
When you perform changes to the kernel, you may build boot.img solely instead of building the whole Android.
$ cd ~/var_n_711_100/n_711_100_build $ source build/envsetup.sh $ lunch -userdebug $ make bootimage
Flashing bootimage to target
Make sure device is in the fastboot mode if not , reboot in fastboot mode by using below commands.
$ adb reboot bootloader $ fastboot flash boot boot-<setup-name>.img
Replace setup-name as per above table.
