Is there a way to do it all without PC as headline suggests? Rooted boot.img and compatible TWRP already exists to flash them within TWRP I already have. I know the path were OTA is downloaded but does anybody know if there is TWRP flashable Marshmallow?
Why there is no option in flashing latest chainfire's supersu.zip in this thread here?
If I choose in Marshmallow external SD as portable, will I be able to use app FolderMount for symlinking games's data from internal to external sd?
Marshmallow have change in boot partition so if you flash it only system partition it will not boot. That's simple.

Okay. So it won't help to flash Marshmallow's boot.img, then twrp and reboot to Marshmallow's twrp and there flash Marshmallow ROM?
About your question.
New Android (marshmallow) have change in Boot, blob and system partitions. Those change will effect and change partitions structure. Because boot partition change its mean it's not match with older recovery partition. (in Linux OS only different big or small character is a whole different things) example in lollipop "recovery" but in marshmallow "Recovery" they are different.
Twrp needed to fix their build to fit with new Android. Otherwise we can said TWRP of this version for lollipop not marshmallow.

I purchased a tablet from Amazon a while ago: http://www.amazon.co.uk/NATPC-X210-10-1-16gb-Dual/dp/B00AKYZ6RI
Recently it's been playing up and currently the "Internal Storage" is not showing any size, this happened when the tablet's maximum internal storage amount was filled up with apps and stuff, on reboot it seemed to automatically factory reset but at the same time mess up the system partition, it can't install any apps and "factory resetting" it does nothing
NATPC have a firmware .img file available over at: http://www.natpcandroidtablet.com/forum/showthread.php?1604-Firmware-Update
However, the tablet doesn't have a bootloader so I can't flash it using fastboot...
It has a form of recovery that is just "Android System recovery <3e>" which has options to apply update via adb, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update via external storage and apply update from tf card
It's an "Allwinner A20 (sun7i) SoC" using the "SDK: MID-A20-Android4.2-V2.0patch1" although on their forum for the X210 it has a thread: http://www.natpcandroidtablet.com/f...03-3G-Dongle-spport-list-for-Rockchip-Tablets which makes me a little confused.
Firstly, what is the device' true name... some say it's identical to some other tablets out there...
How can I install/flash the "x210 side power button.img" without a bootloader... I have no idea how to zip the image file correctly.
How can I get a bootloader?
Are there any custom roms for this tablet?
Are there any custom recoveries for this tablet?
Normally Allwinner tablet flash by using LiveSuit.

PhoenixCard_V3.0.9 flash via sd card my be it will work for you
Hey Guys -
Was about to upgrade to 4.2 today and have already downloaded & copied over the full OTA to the root of my internal storage. After reading about FlashFire, I downloaded and installed it. I saw where it had options to install OTAs within, but haven't yet tried.
My main concern in attempting is that I have a 64gb SD card which I have formatted as "Internal Storage." After seeing a warning about using Android's "migrate" feature potentially causing the partition to be wiped, I decided to post first.
Few Questions, Please...
So, has anyone used FlashFire to update an OTA? If so, I have a few questions, please...
1. Know if it would work with Internal Storage enabled and retain all configurations & installations?
2. To flash it, do you add an action, browse to the full OTA, and start using default options?
3. Is there a way to upgrading using an OTA which isn't full?
4. How does using FlashFire differ from installing the OTA + SuperSU zips at same time in TWRP?
Thanks!
Just flash it in twrp. Make sure that the OTA will not overwrite twrp.
i used flashfire on my k1 mate and ive got my sd card set to internal storage, all i did was made sure i set my tablet to download the full ota (its around 600mb i think) then open flashfire it will find the update and the just click ok and it will do it all for you, everything is still intact apart from xposed which i had to reflash in twrp
Background: I have unlocked the bootloader and used Team Win Recovery project to root the phone. I'm running the latest Sailfish Google stock img.
Problem: Android 7.1.1. is reporting close to full, unable to receive emails and trouble with taking pictures etc. When running a check on file sizes via the OS, all partitions are as expected except the /system partition is reporting 20GB. When viewing the system partition via TWRP terminal window I can't find 20GB worth of files.
Questions: Could OS be reporting the cumulative SLOT A and SLOT B system partitions? If so, how would I clean up the system partition in this case? I think TWRP is loaded on one slot and the OS is loaded on the other but I'm not sure because I did rooting a couple months ago.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Downalod the 7.1.1 stock image and run flash all.bat then start over, it's probably your best bet.
Hello there,
I was in the middle of installing recovery, root and a custom ROM on my SM-T210 (Galaxy Tab 3 7"), when the title happened. I don't think the issue is device related though, so that's why I'm posting here.
I have StockRom Kitkat Version 1.7 (not the stock rom, that's just what it's called) installed at the moment, but I didn't like it so I wanted to go for Supernova (2.1) and flash that. This would've worked if TWRP didn't suddenly stop being able to see my files in internal storage...
My device isn't encrypted so that's not the issue. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Hello,
Make sure you are mounting system and data
Make sure zip files type is selected and not IMG files
Try moving to SD card and try to see if it's there if you have one
Reflash twrp -make sure it's the latest twrp-
Then boot into it, flash rom

Thank you very much sir, using an SD card did it for me! TWRP was already the newest one I could use so that wasn't an option, the other 2 tips I also already tried.
Hello.
I've bricked my Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F tablet and i want to backup to the original lollipop system. I have no computer at the while, only a android phone (Galaxy A5 2017). I've downloaded the lollipop rom from this site (
T2-A7-10F_S54_150801_ROW.rar) and copied the archive to ssd card on my A5, move the card to my tablet but when i enter to the recovery mode (called Android system recovery) i can't see the archive among all the files on my sd card.
PS.
What are those MTK USB Drivers and SP Flash Tool and TWRP? When are they needed kn contrast with just copying the rom archive to sd card and install by recovery mode as i've tried?
Thx. for help.

You need a PC or Laptop to flash TWRP and then use TWRP to flash the custom ROM the stock recovery will not allow custom just a factory reset.

It can't be flashed using another android device.
It can only be flashed using a PC.
If there is a stock recovery flashable 5.0 lollipop update.zip for your specific model number, you can download the update.zip to your internal storage or place it on an external scarf then boot into stock recovery and flash the update.zip in stock recovery. The firmware file that is made for flashing via PC will not work, it has to specifically be a flashable update.zip that was made to be flashed via recovery. Not all devices have update.zips that can be flashed via stock recovery so there may or may not be any available for your device.
