Flashify (flash without unlock the bootloader?)

[afilbit]

anyone tried this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jZ29sbG5lci5mbGFzaGlmeSJd

as far as I know it let's you backup and flash on your Android without having a custom recovery! that's awesome! but you can flash only img files without a custom recovery, you need to have root obviously. But if we could convert any zip to an img file we could flash it with this app! for people that don't want to unlock their bootloader this could be a way to flash things without doing it! like if we had an custom kernel in an img file we could flash it using this app without unlock the bootloader.

come on guys let's explore this app, this could be just what we need!

That works on nexus 7, so probably also on TF300T. Anyone to test it ?

Flash your boot images, recovery images and zip files right away using Flashify!


Does this only work for twrp? Or can the same functions work with cwm?

Hello Michael, it works for TWRP and CWM. The difference is that with TWRP you will be able to wipe cache, dalvik and data, and also flash multiple zips.



This appears to only provide an in android interface and passes info to twrp and cwm as do rom toolbox pro, rom manager and others.
It does not appear to be capable of flashing or creating flashable files on its own.

In this link you can find the official thread where it says that to flash img files you don't even need a custom recovery!

I'll report back to this thread.

Update! The images made available with blobtools are recovery, system, and boot. I have never had need of boot.img. System.img is an image of the /system folder. I tried flashing recovery.img but I was not successful. The tablet I have on hand at the moment is unlocked.

I'll try again next week. Next week I am expecting a tf300t that is still locked. Till then I'll think about other images I could flash. Recovery is signed in the blob, I have never had success flashing recovery with fastboot or twrp on this tablet so I was not surprised it failed.

I'll update here when I have the other tablet(locked). I should be able to use dd with a locked tablet that is rooted to create an image file. I think I will begin with that path. I still have several days to consider possible use on our tablets.

First Flashify info:
At this time flashify is not able to flash properly on the tf300 - at least those are the results of my testing.
It will not properly create images or restore the ones I have removed from the stock blobs that Asus created.

Flash Gordon. I installed but decided not to push my luck. Looking at the provided script the op presented (asking for help with script) the partitions are hard coded. The partitions do not match what I find for our tablet.
In the future this may change but at this point I am not that brave when I see obvious concerns.
I admit I did not yet download the actual source and confirm the script provided matches the app.

No problem man if you don't want to do it, don't do it. It's better than brick or bootloop your tablet

I'll download the apk source and have a look. If it appears it will work with our tablet I'll give it a try. If the partitions are hard coded as is the script it will not work and will present you with a brick.
Next week, unless things slow!

The script above and app have the same code. I don't know the target device but not our tablet.
This is a no go at the moment however it could be modified and used - similar to what I suggested earlier about using dd to copy and restore partitions.
