No you can just use stock recovery and you don't need to unlock because this is stock

I just noticed the same thing.. went to clear cache and nothing..

Not installing this until I see a few successful attempts, or just stay patient and wait until it comes up on my updates.. lol.

Edit: got super impatient.. installed from SD through stock recovery and everything seems to be working. Didn't format anything, yet. Just wanted to make sure it worked.

There is no dalvik cache. There is only ART.

The only option is to install a custom recovery to obtain custom options. I've tried mounting the system part to see if any more options came up and nothing. I believe the ROMs are baked to clear caches before and after flashing. With how long it takes to boot after flashing, it's definitely repaging something..

Yes. Old phone.

"Some time ago, in the days before Nougat,*Android used a system cache*to store system update files. Android has since moved away from that, preferring*a different method*for installing updates.

Many modern phones don’t even have a system cache now"

So, is this method (installing that .zip via Recovery) working in order to unlock the bootloader?
