This guide only require you to be able to boot TWRP. You can follow this TWRP install guide and perform the installation of these .zip files AFTER step 8) (You must backup your system in case anything goes wrong, you will also need this backup to perform any future OTA, such as the one activating band 12). You can either stop there after installation, or proceed to the following steps if you want to have root access.
All .zip have to be installed using the TWRP "Install" function. You will need to download them on your phone or copy them on a SD card. You do not need to install all these packages at once. These scripts do not install anything, they only delete some files. You can extract them and open "update-binary" with your favorite text editor to see exactly what is done (always a good idea if you are concerned with your device security), and customize it if you wish.
This will only delete the apps in your system. If an update was performed, or if you used the app previously, the app and it's files may still be present on your device after running these scripts, but you can now uninstall them as any other app. This also means that you can rerun these scripts after a future OTA and this will not erase any app you reinstalled yourself.
