Hi everyone,
So here is a little tool I used firstly for myself because
I was tired of having to type the required command to flash my recovery from a recovery to another.
This tool was originaly made for XT925, but as asked I produced a MB886 version (and a full version too).
Using it elsewhere might produce undesired side-effects.
v1.4 for XT925 and MB886 - 46.5 Mo
v1.4 for XT925 only - 16.7 Mo
v1.4 for MB886 only - 30.3 Mo
To use it, just extract it wherever you want and launch InstallRecovery.bat
Then follow the instructions
Currently supports :
XT925
Philz_touch_6.00.8 for XT925
Recovery_ClockWork-6.0.4.4 for XT925
TWRP 2.6.0.0 for XT925
TWRP 2.2 for XT925
MB886
Philz_touch_6.12.8 for MB886
Recovery_ClockWork-6.0.4.4 for MB886
QR Code for MB886 version (Atrix HD) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

If only this came out before I got my recovery! Haha. good release either way, it will be useful for other people.

I thought we only had TWRP on XT926 and the touch points were way off for us? Either way, anyone tried the XT925 TWRP?

Well I use TWRP nearly everyday on XT925, the 2.6.0.0 works perfectly. I just have some problems with rights which I fix by using this command :
Code:
chmod -R 777 /data/media
with adb shell in su or with the shell integrated in TWRP

We have a different touchscreen and neither TWRP or Aroma installers work with the Atrix HD. The problem is our touchpoints are recognized down and to the left (iirc) of where we actually press.

They never have for me, always had the exact same touch issues as TWRP, at least with the first Philz CWM release and earlier. Haven't bothered testing since then.
The aroma file manager for Philz recovery works perfect. Now, any other aroma zip installer is a no for my atrix

Can you confirm that you have the same problem with the versions I gave in my installer ?
I got em from a specific thread for Atrix so maybe it's bugfixed.

I have Philz working just fine on my AHD, but last I tried to install Aroma the touch points were also way off. Don't know the exact version it was, but I believe I was following the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
So I gave up on it.
Isn't this just like Mythtools? Looking at your script, agreed it is different, but the basic function is the same between yours and theirs.

Im not really aware of existing tools Im pretty new around Android community since I never had a smartphone before that
This is only a tool I made for myself and distributed for you guys, no real intention on making a great tool or whatever, just sharing ^^
Edit : I searched a bit about Mythtools, they only support Atrix or have they made any other device's tool like I do ?
You good no matter what but now that your source is out compare it and credit who ever you think coded first.

The end fact is that you put together a tool not done and is not just a straight copy cat.

I've looked at the code of both and this is unique. There's only so many ways to call adb and fastboot with a script....I'd probably write something similar starting from nothing.
This reminds me of Microsoft suing ReactOS over some driver. The were using the exact same source code as Microsoft, but it turned out that ReactOS just happened to have developed the same code because that's what worked, not from stealing or reverse engineering.
Hell, this might be Hybris's first dive into either scripting or trying automating the flashing process....one of the reasons I suggest learning the manual way is because if this, Myth, or who/whatever happens to screw up and release something bad (not accusing them of anything, just examples that are common in our forums) and you used that tool, it's on you if you get bricked, not the tool maker. Fact is,ya'll's the ones downloading a tool because you're too lazy to learn it on your own (not directed at TecknoFreak, just noobs).

Sometimes, people may have the same idea, the differences are time and how they process it idea to a real thing
I think maybe Hybris and our tools has the same function at flashing recovery but both are not the same exactly.
However, in my opinion, more tools will benefit more for users

Currently, I have only Atrix now. That's why I only made tools for it. In the past, I also modded for samsung devices but it's different from motorola so there is no Myth Tools for them - Only Myth Roms
Btw, your tools is really good and I expect to see other ones from you.

Well this is not my first scripting in batch but my first attempt (and probably last ^^) at automating the flashing process.
I'm not trying to make the perfect and flawless tool, just a share of my work.
If you don't trust it, analyse it or don't use it.
By the way, I did NOT tested the Atrix part since I don't own an Atrix myself.
This tool did not passed any unit-test so it "may" bug in some cases (like for example n a locked device)

I can only agree on this, our tools just shows it, we are allowing people to flash multiple tools on their device, it's only a matter of choices and functionalities

Well maybe some other tools who knows, not me at least
I think the next things I will get to try out developping will be recovery imgs itselves that sounds pretty fun and interesting ^^
(For example : allowing adb from being executed from a recovery (even a few cmds) ? or allowing MTP service withing a recovery ?)

Hahaha i ment no one came out with such a tool. Just like it bro.
Good job and ty
@Hybris95
It might not have sounded like it, but I wasn't talking bad about you or this...
I was just saying if someone uses a tool to do something without bothering to learn how something is done, it's that persons fault for taking the easy way if it doesn't work, even if the tool is at fault -- the reason -- most bad things thst can occur with tools like this are easy to fix, but artard here only uses tools and never adb or fastboot, so if something goes wrong they don't know what to do. There's also cases where X worked for me, I release, and TecknoFreak uses it and is forced to fastboot to stock...if noobXyZ used it, I'd be dealing with "you broke my phone" and maybe having to play tech support.
Mythtools have left inexperienced users with fixable bricks in the past. Was it user error, the tool, God, a bad usb cable, the driver??? Who knows, but derp follows, and then we get to answer help, help, help posts (see video in one of my stickied guides...probably explains this better than me).
EDIT:
And I did analyze this. I do it to every automated tool I use. That's why I posted that you didn't use anyone else's work when making this. A quick glance at it and that was obvious.
Well if anyone has issues with my tool i'd be glad to help if i can, but as i said i cant unit test everything especially since fastboot is very limited compared to adb and since i cant buy every devices

They have actually been working on a way around it. In essence its not a true hack but more of an exploit, using "kexec" module. What this module does is once the phone to boots up into the stock kernel then you use the kexec module to in essence hot swap to another kernel. Once the phone powers off it goes back to stock, but when you power it on again you would just do the same thing again. Using some combination an something similar to nanadroid you can load custom roms with custom kernals. The only down side is that it would increase boot times, but it would have no impact on the performance of the phone otherwise.
I have been doing alot of reading on the milestone and the progress made and they seem to have the overall workings of this method down its just getting it smooth enough that people can use it. Assuming the Droid X has the same module in the stock kernal we should be able to easily port this once they have it fully working on the milestone!
Nice to have a glimmer of hope.

Little summary about milestone bootloader crack progress..
now they dont use kexec method anymore..they use 2nd bootloader method
http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/android-dev-talk/30158-2nd-boot-milestone-progress.html
2nd boot for milestone progress ....
This will only work on milestone with 2.0 system on it so you have to downgrade in order to test this / modify it ...
'modem itself panics, when new kernel try to reestablish netmux links, so even if usb host will work finely - modem still need to be reseted. or netmux module and daemons needed to be patched to work in needed way'
how to :
place in /system/bin , permission set to 755
let phone screen turned on, because this state is closer to original boot
sh hb.sh
http://www.droid-developers.org/files/2ndboot.rar
at least we have a custom kernel booting , modem doesnt work so no radio if you can fix this or have any ideas how to , please join :
#milestone-modding on Freenode (IRC )
http://and-developers.com/motorola_milestone
Custom Rom method:
2ndboot
Usefulness: Very high
Difficulty to attempt:Medium
Chance of success: Very high
Status:
This attack right now is by far the most promising and convenient. Recently a few developers have pursued this approach in at least three independent attempts. All face a significant roadblock: hardware initialization. There are a couple of ideas about tackling it, but it is still a work in progress at the time of this writing. See more information about previous attempts here. None of these attempts work yet!
Latest attempt: Yakk patched 2nd-boot to make it work on the Milestone, but his source code remains partly unpublished at this time. Status: boots another kernel, which Yakk has also patched to get serial output over the USB connector (using custom hardware to connect to it). Currently the booted kernel has some problems with USB and fails to initialize the phone's modem so it crashes. See published code and binaries: here (build number 1.03) and here (build number 2.31). All current development of 2ndboot now going here When GSM is disabled this kexec module is able to boot the system with the recompiled kernel, but it is not really useful as a phone then. WiFi works fine, though. Yakk is now trying to use 2ndboot to start a patched version of mbm, which should be able to initialize the modem and then pass control to a custom Linux kernel. This is still under development, so don't get too excited. We'll keep you posted.
2ndboot
This is bootloader, which can boot custom boot image even droid-family phone has locked bootloader.
It consist from: * small kernel module, for creating device for booting/controlling boot * small userspace program, which give for module boot image and flags * universal bootloader, which can uses many places for booting
It's derived from collaborative work of yakk and dimichxp for creating bootloader for older motorola phones, before their RSA have been kracked.
Now, this project ported to the Milestone hardware and can boot custom kernel fully, except of baseband part.
Here you can find current development sources of 2ndboot: http://bitbucket.org/droiddev/2ndboot/overview
See published binaries: here (build number 1.03) and here (build number 2.31).
Also it is necesseary for developing 2ndboot and custom bootloader/kernel to debug over serial port: Debugging

if milestone bootloader successfully hack..then all motorola locked bootloader product will also hackable too
this is for more detail progress....and i know these guys is very capable and very expert about reverse engineering technique..so lets support them..and lets wait for result..

as far as i understand it fully works except the GSM modem drivers?
so the 2ndboot works, but the port itself isn't ready? that sounds very promising. if they can extract the baseband drivers from the milestone stock OS everything works? that just sounds to good to be true
i'm currently waiting for the Droid X GSM version to be hopefully announced and if the bootloader bypassed i'm sure there will be cyanogenmod for it.
keep up the good work guys!

i don't know... i somehow think it could be released when froyo with motoblur is ready. if we're lucky it could be as soon as august...
i also can compare to the droid and the milestone.
Droid launched on Nov. 6th,
Milestone launched on Dec. 10th.
So after Droid X being launched at Jul. 17th, maybe we'll get the Milestone X or Shadow or whatever at the end of july?
I remember them saying at the droid x launch event that they were only having a US version of this phone. Im not sure if this is correct or not.

They said that the Droid X is a Verizon only phone. After asking if there will be a modified version like to Milestone was for Droid, the said "we can not command on unannounced products."
Same as when Droid launched. I think it's very likely that there will be a GSM version of Droid X, Motorola Milestone X or Motorola Shadow (like this one better )
We'll just have to wait and see.

hi, all
I got my hands on Motorola Atrix 4G 4 days earlier from one of my friend.I like it very much ！ awesome phone ! better than my dead defy! This is my first release CWM recovery for Atrix 4G.
i should work as it should be but the ums and usb adb debug functions is not working .
it's just like the defy recovery, you can install this as a normal application.but you need to get your device rooted.and it's only for Motorola Atrix 4G aka MB860.
Comments and donations are wellcome. you can donate so that i can get myself a Atrix 4G, Thanks in advance.
UPDATED 2011-0408-1720 GMT +8

Thank you!
if you feels that my work helps you ,please don't hesitate to click the thank button at the end of this post. thank you!
PS: i am trying to make other way to enter the CMW recovery mode.and i am going to make the osh partiton transparent to user. so we can mod the osh partition ,any devs interested in this?
FIRST!
Nice work btw. cant wait to have a complete recovery (clockwork)
For real?
In that case... Awesome
Fist to the OP thank you for this....just thought Id add some more info from the source site
Second edited due to development success on this Awesome work though do look into adb sbf withing the search function of the development thread and learn about them before using this so you have a way to go back
Removed the apk upload from this post the OP has been working and updating his progress XD and the download speeds much better than it was before XD
Third added the apk attachment that is said to install a working recovery, seems to be the only file downloadable from the source site... There is not alot of info there.

4 days ago I finally got this I heard a long time Atrix 4G, spent three days free time get the Recovery. And then spent one day free time a person considered to be more integration of the perfect ROM, hope you like it. The machine got my brother to feel that defy ah ~! Ha. Good. Machine performance very good, no loss is dual-core!
Haha, A4 custom Recovery Coming! No way in the use of other forums online updates, online updates will be a lot of messy problems occur. May not fully updated!
Installation:
Root for your cell phone first, root method see: http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html
Apk installed then install the normal recovery;
Prompted the request su permission.
Then prompted to install success
Then ok. For details, please refer to the software tips.
Usage:
Switched off the phone into the AC charger, and then the phone will enter Recovery mode!
Keys Description:
Volume up and down switch, the power button to confirm
That said if this recovery even crashes you should be able to get to rsd mode and revert back to which ever base sbf you were using XD

Thanks for you posting and attached the apk file. the original source is post by me for china users. this recovery include two languages. English and Chinese,because i am a Chinese. you can find a flashable rom in here.
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1667169-1-1.html
it's also for chinese users. the recovery supports amend and edify scripts.because it's based on clockworkmod 2.5.1.8! only the usb is not working.i didnt find out how to make the usb function work .
other function including backup is work. there is one think that the system partition is mounted when you enter the recovery. you can not umount it.
i will try my best to fix those bugs. if any one would like to help me.please let me know. thanks in advance
Jesus man, dont quote all thos pictuses! lol. Edited . Good work btw.

Sweet okay lets get that Source for the ROM posted have you been able to test it yet? Im already going to download and mirror should have it ready in a few minutes still please confirm the RSD functionality of this recovery that is critical before we get everything posted here last we need is bricked or unrevertable Atrixs
Update RSD works XD jic
Anyone test yet?
Sent from Motorola Atrix on TELUS.
i would like to test it, but im not sure if rsd will work afterwards to reflash, since the op says usb is not working so, hmmm

it's a bootstrap recovery, it will not infact your phones rsd functionality. and you can use voldown + power button for more functions ,but i did figure out what those function are.
i tested it many times i cant even count it. it takes me so many flash to get a working recovery....! the last time i trying to port the clock work mod to defy , my defy is bricked~~

Just a few questions,
From what I understand this isn't a full recovery, but will it allow us to flash roms?
Thanks for all the work.

Yes. But only roms based on original shipped versions. Custom roms like CM are not possible with bootstrap recovery.
Do backup/restore functions work?
Just a confirmation. The installation was very easy. I had to plug in ac adapter to boot into CWM recovery. I made a successful backup through recovery. If anyone is not familiar with CWM recovery, you use vol up/down buttons to go through menus and power button to select. The backup is created in external sdcard. This looks good so far.

Agree. Even if this is not a full on recovery, we can at least do away with those scripts now.
Update 2: You won't get a stable build from here, just treat this as a massive development thread now. Feel free to continue your great work.
Update: I have successfully built CyanogenMod 10 for you guys. I don't know if it'll boot or not, so please provide the logcat (adb logcat) and dmesg (adb shell dmesg)
You can download UNTESTED, EXPERIMENTAL builds here:

I need help with this as I don't own the device (as I just said) but will make at least one build for it. I can't even promise this'll boot.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP MORE THEN PLEASE GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE - TOUCHSCREEN TYPE, ETC IS HELPFUL. TELLING ME ITS A CERTAIN COLOUR ISNT!
Hope I'll get you folks a booting port soon.

The non booting kernels may have some library damage,which is associated with the screen
Second reason : in init.rc the bootclasspath must be changed it might be the link to an sense framework

Okay, I'm going to compile this and go to Judo because I can.
When I get back you might/might not see a build uploaded. If you don't then don't blame me.
but if you do then please do the following:
0) Set up ADB on your computer and backup stuff
1) Download it
2) Clear data as normal
3) Install it via Clockworkmod recovery (if possible)
4) Run the following...
adb dmesg > dmesg.txt
adb logcat > logcat.txt
at the same time to log everything your phone does.
Once this is done, please use logcat.miui.us, pastie.org or pastebin.com to report all the logs so I can read them later.
If it boots, screen cap it along with everything that's working. Please also include the recovery version you used too.

Didn't work for me on CM11 1/19, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed kernel then wiped dalvik and cache. Stuck on boot screen and cannot access recovery via power buttons.

You should be able to enter recovery as this only flashes the kernel.

dont worry about the boot cert error, i already have loki-doki setup ( and a few useless kernel replacement tools) ported if need be/uploaded ( ill get it up after compiling pac), or @Demetris can lokify the boot.img if he wants

to test and eventually port the V510 (GPe Version of the LG G Pad, and probably the better kernel to base on going to kk and beyond) kernel to the v500 so that the Gpe Rom can work fully, Demetris from what i have been see might not have the tablet or the V500 version, so he needs testers to get back at him whether it works or not.
EDIT: @ikenvape if you want to give it another shot flash the zip below, it automatically lokifies and reflashes the boot.img so that you can get passed the error, ill think about setting up a thread on this much later...
Warning though, do not flash it on anything else, as there are no checks whether its a V500 or another device and can brick any other non lokifiable device

Oh man what a ride. Yeah, couldnt get into recovery or reset, the boot error kept popping before i could hit the power button to start the operation. Used lg tools, procedure failed, then ran out of battery on the 2nd go. From there getting into download mode was touch and go. Finally got some juice for another run and was sucessfull according to the pc. The gpad was bootlooping the animation so then I retried manual reset but kept getting 'device needs to be charged more" by this time she was on charge for about an hour. Finally got manual reset to go through and voila. Lost root but not the pad.
Maybe it was a bad flash or d/l which i hope it was, but all in all, it was an entertaining night. Thanks for grabbing this and its definitely progress on the gpe road. :good:

Hey thanks man. Ill hold on to it for when i re-root in a bit.
no testers ?
I'am curious to know if it's working or not ( i can't test it for now since i have a week of exams... sure i will test at the end of the week)
Ok guys. i think you must be kidding me.
You scream and yell you want the Gpe Source code fully working on v500 and i see no reports here and only 3 downloads.
Didn’t i ask my self why bother but i do now.
This stays close to public until further notice.
I hope you are happy.
Edit Since the previous post am been getting a lot of pm's and interest on this seems healthy.
Downloads have increased and i know lokified script needs fixing as it doesn’t work now.
So ....
Lets continue the gpe kernel shall we?

since i you closed this thread without being able to voice my thoughts, i honestly believe that you pulled the plug a little too early, not only are we a small bunch of users compared to nexus and other tablet makers counterparts, but its it feels like there was no marketing at all, just word of mouth and a few publications pushing reviews (which i still dont understand how only one review noticed the few screen issues most have noticed),
sorry for OT, back on topic since i have the device ill take a look at your zip and see if ill be able to fix it...

Credits:
Original version created in the summer of 2011. Thanks to birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!
testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch!
Special thanks to tiny4579 and ghul21 for testing on the OnePlus One!
Thanks to SDX
Requires:
Unlocked bootloader (shouldn't be a concern here!) and root access!
Background:
flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos (so far ONLY select Samsung devices) and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into a kernel /sbin directory, included in custom ROMs, etc).
Description:
This android application, FlashImageGUI, is a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.
This app allows the flashing of kernels and custom recovery images in normal android mode!
Current Device Support:
Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery (zip file or image) flashing: OnePlus One, HTC One M8 (GSM), Moto G, Sprint Galaxy S4, International HTC One (M7), T-Mobile HTC One (M7), Sprint HTC One (M7), HTC EVO 4G LTE, HTC One S, HTC EVO 3D CDMA and GSM, HTC One XL, HTC Droid DNA, HTC Amaze, HTC Vivid/Holiday, HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO Shift, Google Nexus 5, Google Nexus 4, Google Nexus 10, Google Nexus 7, Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S/Nexus S 4G & LG Optimus
Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices
Full Kernel (zImage) Flashing: Samsung Epic
Check application version for updates
Future Support:
Let me know if there are any issues. Feel free to post the encountered issue and a link to the exact file that was flashed. Thanks for the support!
Install Directions:
Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.
My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: ./adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk
Download Locations
Market (99 cents!): Flash Image GUI
Release version (free): Flash Image GUI
Contact:
Any questions, comments, concerns, or issues, please post in this thread or send me an email! Thanks for all the help and support!
FAQ:
Q: Will this app support a marketplace to pick and chose kernels from?
A: No.
Q: Can I flash nandroid kernel backups?
A: Yes. Rename the specific image to boot.img and select from inside of Flash Image GUI. **Make sure to also load the associated modules or WiFi might stop working!

Feedback:
Please post any helpful feedback. I'm always looking to improve the application!
Users Guide for flashing ONLY a Kernel (zip file):
1) Ensure the bootloader is unlocked and root access is properly setup
2) Make sure the selected Kernel is compatible with the currently loaded ROM. If not, this will result in a lot of frustration!!! See troubleshooting steps below.
3) Download kernel zip file to /sdcard.
4) Open Flash Image GUI, browse and select kernel zip file, downloaded/loaded to sdcard in previous step.
5) Flash Image GUI will validate that the kernel zip file contains the minimum required files
6) Select the Flash Image button and Flash Image GUI will load the kernel and the kernel modules from the source kernel zip file.
7) Reboot
Troubleshooting after Rebooting:
First step, when experiencing issues flashing is to RE FLASH the files again. Many times, re flashing again will clear up any issues. If not, see the issues/solutions below.
Issue #1: If the device hangs or reboots while on the splash screen, the kernel itself or the ramdisk packaged in the kernel is NOT compatible with your device!!!
Solution for #1: Have to boot into fastboot (or directly into the custom recovery) and load the custom recovery to flash a known good kernel or restore a previously known good nandroid backup. Command: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Issue #2: If the device hangs or reboots while on the boot animation, the ROM is likely NOT compatible with the kernel!!!
Solution for #2: Have to boot into fastboot and load the custom recovery to flash a known good ROM/kernel combination either from a zip file or restore from a nandroid backup.
Completely surprised your thanks meter is not higher than what it is for the length of time you been helping out with your apps up in here. If I remember right you go way back to the winmo days right?

Quick question, how does this app differ from one like Flashify? Is it another alternative?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for lots of new development and different alternatives, just trying to understand if this app provides something different (or at least does it better) than some other similar apps.
Thanks!

I can't speak to Flashify, other than it didn't exist when I created Flash Image GUI ~3 years ago. I'm also unsure about their business model, whether they're free and charge for usage or whether they charge for the app.
Either way, I host a free copy of Flash Image GUI for XDA users and do my best to monitor this thread for any issues, concerns, or bugs, as I've done for around 30 devices over the last three years!
Thanks for your support!

Thanx for adding support for opo, but could you make recognize the "any kernel" zip files as it does not contain img's.several kernel dev's are using this method nowadays,so their kernel is compatible across all rom's..

I do support the method on devices where the kernel devs follow common and standard usage of the anykernel method, but didn't see this on the OPO a few weeks back.
Can you provide links to the specific kernels on the OPO that are using this method? When I checked a few weeks back, there was only one and they were using an unusual variation of the anykernel method that I hadn't seen on any other device before.
Thanks for your support!

Here you go and thanx
Ups my link in gone
Posting it later when i'm home..it's AK kerne by AK in original Android dev

EDIT: heres a screenshot of chosen kernel I tried to flash. Your app doesn't recognize the zImage..
Device not supported?

The link is helpful and that was the one kernel using the "AnyKernel" method but in a less common manner that I'm hesitant about adding support for. I appreciate the request and can investigate it further but at this point, that one kernel likely won't be a high priority unless many other people request it, mostly due to the less common manner it uses to load. I view there be additional risk to adding less common loading methods in that I don't want to damage any devices using less proven methods. Given that I don't own the device myself, I'm also less likely to ask testers to risk using a less common loading method to test support.

The screenshot is very helpful and ironically shows that this is the kernel, quoted above, that I'm hesitant to add flashing support to as it uses less common methods of loading. It seems that either the kernel or the ROM changes how the device identifies itself and breaks compatibility with Flash Image GUI. Which ROM are you using?
While you're still using that kernel and ROM combination, can you share the output from the following adb shell command? adb shell getprop ro.product.device

Okay I understand, Thanx for your response and to clear things up.
PS. I have no problem with my opo getting recognized, so apparently it's as you pointed out, only the one kernel, sadly, but there are many other ways to flash it, so no worries.. :highfive:
it took about 2 seconds to flash a new recovery.img
Excellent
Thank you very much!!
