you can use BS_US001 - BS_US002 or supercid.
5 - type : fastboot reboot

enter the following:
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
9 - Now you can OTA to 4.16.1540.9 - after the update you will get 3 more mini updates to prepare for the MM Update.
Any questions - just ask .
