How To Flash Recovery Package?


!!!THIS IS NOT OTA!!!

Flashing Instructions

  • Use custom recovery (ofox, twrp, etc)
  • Ensure the slot is _a
  • Install the zip file
  • Format data (optional)
  • Disable vbmeta (optional)

Notes

  • Format the data if you're coming from a port ROM, custom ROM, or GSI. No need if you're just upgrading from a previous XOS.
  • Disable vbmeta only if you have previously disabled your vbmeta.
  • The recovery will revert to stock, and root access will be removed and you will need to root again.
