    Verification: Go to Settings > Apps > See all apps > Show system. You should see "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Store." That is it. No Gmail, no Maps, no YouTube (you install those manually from the store).

    Upon completion, the recovery script will attempt to perform a "post-install" process. If the script reports errors regarding "Linda" or "GMS Core," the device may require a manual wipe of the Dalvik/ART cache.
