Anybody tried this for the Mega? It frees 600MB so it's very useful for those who have the 8GB version. Here's the link for the XDA thread.

I don't think it's possible at this point (unless I'm completely wrong). It appears that you have to flash this in recovery (as it is a zip file). Since you cannot flash these zip files in the stock recovery, you need a custom recovery which we have not been able to get on this device yet. Until we get clockwork mod or TWRP working for this device, we can only flash via ODIN. Anyone with a better understanding please chime in. I certainly don't want to post incorrect information. This is my understanding. I actually hope I'm wrong. I would love to be able to do full rom backups (boot, partition, cache, system, data, etc.) like we do in cwm or twrp and be able to flash zip files. I know of no other way other than custom recoveries.

I'm thinking of flashing this through recovery, doesn't remove root does it?

take it this is the same as the last one where you'd need to have stock recovery to install the update even if S-off? And even then you might temp lose your root access or no?

Wait for the developers to pick through it before doing ANYTHING. There is no reason to flash until its fully vetted. Relax have a beer or chocolate milk....patience...don't give in to the inner urge to upgrade just cause there is an upgrade....
Looking through the firmware.zip...I see all sorts of new stuff....possibly a new radio too?
I need help with my Verizion Galaxy S4, I rooted it once and I think I used Odin but an update made me lose it.

Is it safe to flash a different rom on it?
Let me know if you need more info
Thanks for looken

You're almost there. You need to install busybox and safestrap 3.72 or 3.75. Then look for roms that are safestrap compatible and flash away. Make sure you read the OPs before flashing. Some roms require extra files to flash.
Awesome thanks man I'll look into it

Hello everyone. I managed to get my hands on an HP 7 Plus tablet, not the Slate 7. Here are its specs right here.
I have managed to unlock its bootloader and also root it. Now, I want to flash a custom recovery. As the processor is Allwinner A31, I thought I'd give the CWM recovery built for Onda v972 right here a try. But I wanted to be careful and as there was no way to backup the partitions without a custom recovery, I used this tutorial to create a partition dump. Its a surprising 512MB file whereas the CWM Recovery file from Onda is only 11.1 MB.
Here is the grab from when I did cat /proc/partitions:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please tell me what to do? Should I go on and flash the Onda based recovery? Or create my own custom recovery? Help will be appreciated.
I think I might have posted in the wrong section. If I have, I'm extremely sorry, moderators but please move this to the proper section so I can get feedback and possibly, a solution.
Hello, I need to install recovery on my phone, downloading TWRP from the official site. Successfully flash, but my recovery does not work. Bootloader I'm unlocked. I've tried multiple versions but still the same. Will anyone please advise what to do with this? Thanks
Heyyo, hmm are you following a guide such as this one?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
That's what I followed for my x829 and it worked flawlessly for me
I have already tried this according to these instructions. Still the same result, recovery can not control. Extract from cmd, am I doing something wrong?

Fastboot boot =/= fastboot flash
Fastboot boot is a temporary attempt to boot from your recovery image - once you end the session, you are still just working on stock recovery. You need to do fastboot flash recovery rec.img or whatever the filename is. Boot is intended to ensure compatibility before full installation.
It still does not work to do what I do... I install the Recovery, but I do not want to click anything on it...
Install this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767101877
It does not help, I still can not control recovery... I do not know what to do anymore.

It's the first thing I did. Didn't work. Anyway I flashed miui 12.5 with mi flashtool clean all option and booted OFox recovery. Now no problem.
Still looking for an answer?
