<p>To flash a device, you will need to use <code>fastboot</code>. Place the device in fastboot mode either manually by holding the appropriate key combination at boot, or from the shell with</p>
<pre><code>$ adb reboot bootloader
</code></pre>
<p>Once the device is in fastboot mode, run </p>
<pre><code>$ fastboot flashall -w
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>-w</code> option wipes the <code>/data</code> partition on the device; this is useful for your first time flashing a particular device, but is otherwise unnecessary.</p>
<h1 id="emulating">Emulating</h1>
<p>To run the emulator, type</p>
<pre><code>$ emulator
</code></pre>
