I just tried this and not sure what's supposed to happen so before I do anything stupid I thought I would ask.

I decided to flash the Dark ASOP theme I referenced earlier.

I click to clear cache and dalvik.

I clicked to select the zip and it asked me to pick a program to execute that action

I clicked Root explorer.

I navigated to the zip and clicked it.

Then I got a dialog extracting??

I hit escape and then hit Flash not, not much happened

I'm afraid to move at this point

Should I have let the extraction continue?

Just not sure what's supposed to happen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] les_garten:
I tried to flash the theme and has some issues that you may want to address with some feedback notifications.

Maybe a notification that the extraction was successful?

When I tapped the notification to reboot, reboot didn't happen, it just went to those last 2 screenshots you have there.

I rebooted and nothing was really flashed on 2 different zips. One being the theme and the other being a boot animation.

I had no idea whether anythin had worked or not.

One good thing though, nothing was borked which really surprised me!

Anything I can provide you?

I tried flash Gordon once last week when I really needed to flash a radio zip..it did not work..

I eventually fixed cwm and got it flashed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawdikrik:
Radios are most likely not going to be compatible. This is more for packages and small mods. Very low level things like radios, basebands, kernels and roms are probably not going to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Seduce:
Hi,

exactly the same for me. I even let the extracting task work for 1h w/o result... I could add a log soon...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] les_garten:
After the theme didn't work, I tried something simpler like a bootanimation, that didn't work either.

This is on rooted TMO Note 3
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
There's no reason why radios, basebands or kernels wouldn't flash. Installing those is just a matter of extracting an image file to a partition, nothing you can't do with dd in bash.

I've flashed kernels using Flash Gordon before and many users reported they flashed kernels successfully too. The only case where kernels aren't supported are when they require the use mkbootimg to repack the zImage and the ramdisk into a boot.img, but if your kernel comes as a boot.img it should flash just fine. Same thing for radios/basebands, if they're .img files it should work properly.

The only pitfall for flashing Roms is that some libs will crash the device if they are running while the system is running (/system/lib/libruntime.so specifically).

Try to delete the /sdcard/RecoveryEmulator folder, and always let the zip extraction step complete till the end.

Obviously the app needs to extract the zip to your sdcard beforehand to be able to parse and translate the updater-script and copy the files at the right place.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] les_garten:
I guess that's what I was getting at, how do we know the extractions was successful? How do you know if the extraction was unsuccessful? Flashing an unsuccessful partial extraction can't be good?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
Unless the app is killed or the device reboots there shouldn't be any partial extraction, it will either extract fully or not at all.

However, if you really want to make sure, you can check /sdcard/RecoveryEmulator/tmp after the extraction step is finished to check if this folder's content matches your zip's content.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] les_garten:
After FG runs, does it clean out that dir?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
It does, but before extracting a new zip, not after flashing one (could be a good idea to change this though)

[MENTION=4434032]thatbigmoose[/MENTION], where have you been lately? You know way more about this stuff than I do. Would we possible be able to use this somehow to flash kernels in SafeStrap on the I537?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mazanostra:
Hi

Noob here, so I come with questions :(

I want to use your app to install a theme on my galaxy s4 (i9505), rooted, stock rom 4.2.2. I want to avoid using a custom recovery at the moment to flash the theme, so your app seems great. Does it work with S4? If at some point I want to go back to the stock theme and remove the custom theme, can I "unflash" (like unroot) with your app? If not, how can it be done, again avoiding having to flash anything?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] esc0rtd3w:
Awesome idea! Good work :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Swagg422:
can get it to boot on my device. what do i do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Semseddin:
Hello,

Is there a possibility of adding a feature of flashing unsigned kernel through stock recovery for motorola omap4 devices?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
There is no need for the zips to be signed for them to be flashed through Flash Gordon.

Basically, as long as it has a valid updater-script in META-INF/com/google/android the app should pick it up just fine.

Please note that FG doesn't interact with the recovery at all (it's the whole point, really), so it doesn't matter if you have stock recovery or not.

For flashing kernels, please make sure that the kernel you want to flash comes as a boot.img and not a zImage, those aren't supported atm.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vinokirk:
I've used it to flash a file on my Note 3 9005, but it didn't flash, this was a green theme zip. Does this have something to do with SELinux being 'Enforcing'?

EDIT: I flashed another zip and it worked. This was the auto call recording mod.

Why do some flash, and some don't?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mazanostra:
Still looking for an answer to this question. If anyone knows, please let me know.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawdikrik:
It should work, but you nit gave to just try it. There will not be any "unroot" option as this only flashes packages. You will need a "return to stock" package and then flash that.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devo7v:
I have a quick question about this, what would happen if I tried to flash a custom kernel on a phone with a locked bootloader? Will it flash properly, fail to flash, or brick my device? I ask because I have an S4 Active with a locked bootloader and there is no official Odin package, only pre-released versions that do not allow for OTA updates. I'm honestly too scared to try because I can't afford to brick my phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
WTF... There's a reason if I didn't put the app on the playstore...

Thanks for reporting.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Androguide.fr:
It actually went very smoothly, the guy took the app off the PlayStore by himself and contacted me to apologize (probably after reading this thread), nice guy.

I'm sure he didn't mean to do any harm.

[MENTION=4752917]Androguide.fr[/MENTION] Hi,

First of all this concept is very wow for users who dont have supported recoverys for their phone Thanks alot !!!!

i just installed the app and i am trying to flash z1 keyboard but when i slect zip and choose the zip it just hangs on please wait extracting, i have left it for two hours straight still extrating the zip file is just over 6mb or so can you look it up why its taking so much time to extract ????

i am uploading the zip file that you can test it on your own device.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatbigmoose:
I have a job and school and crap and I've been really busy. I actually just came on here to post a rant about how my active became water-damaged from a dip in the pool. I really don't know that much like I've always said lol, I just kind of get how the device works. Anyway, you can't just flash kernels(if it was that easy, we would've been able to do that using dd the day we got root) because the device checks the signature of the kernel before it boots. I actually accidentally flashed an i9295 kernel to the device(well, an early build of SafeStrap did, but I'll take the blame because I took the plunge to try it out) and when the device booted back up a screen appeared saying something along th lines of "WARNING -- NON-SAMSUNG SUPPORTED SOFTWARE FOUND ON THIS DEeVICE. PLEASE TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER." Anyway, Samsung's nice enough to still allow you to boot into download mode when this happens, so I was able to fix it. But it was a scary couple minutes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SJ3316:
SInce my Xperia L bootloader it's locked for good, I decide to test this app, for crossbreeder or other good scripts, but every time I tried to search for the scripts, it told me there is no app, for such action. And since require a rooted phone, no SuperSU permission it's asked.

All good, XPrivacy was automatically restricting the app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jtrain88:
No it doesnt seem to be working. Not for me anyway With an ATT Galaxy Note 3 on kk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] viiron:
Works but....

So I tested the app (flashed a modem). Everything went smooth but it asked me to reboot afterwards. Call me crazy but isn't this slightly redundant? If I have to reboot the phone (recovery or regular) is a click away.

I do suppose this would be useful for people without custom roms and/or don't know how to use adb.

Therefore I say keep up the good work!

Can this app flash scripts such as Pure Performances X http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ? My SGS3 Mini has a locked bootloader and I can't get a custom recovery installed on it but I really just need the custom recovery to flash Pure Performances so even if I was able to install a custom recovery I wouldn't flash ROMs so this app seems to meet my needs. But the question is, will it be able to flash performance engines, because they sort of affect the system and the description said it can't flash ROMs because they affect the system; is it the same case with performance engines or will I be able to flash it?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ninjablackwing:
From my personal experience, it doesn't need the bootloader to be unlocked since my phone has a locked bootloader and this app still worked for me. I was able to flash crossbreeder, puregraphics hd, and pure audio successfully. Good luck
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 5318008:
Droid 3 with stock rooted OS. After flashing CrossBreeder, it would only boot to recovery. I had to do a hard reset to fix it. Got my phone set back up and tried flashing a different version of CrossBreeder, but got the same result. Cool app, but it doesn't seem to be working properly for me.

Edit: I actually had to SBF back to stock, hard reset still gets me stuck at recovery.

Edit 2: I can't verify this right now, but thinking about it again, maybe it was a busybox error on my part. I had the busybox that comes with the motofail root method, but I didn't install a proper stand-alone.

Edit 3: I decided to just use some other stuff (Entropy Fixer, AdAway, and Rom Toolbox's CPU and RAM tweaks) instead of CrossBreeder for now, because if I bork it again, I don't want to have to go through another restore session. I know CrossBreeder isn't the culprit though as I've installed it via recovery before.

This could also potentially be great for people like me who encrypt their storage and thus TWRP can't mount it or install any zips.

I need to flash a couple of zips to my A8-50 and thought I'd have to do a Factory Reset to wipe the storage and start again but maybe I can use this app instead and save myself a lot of time.

Before I try though, I'd be grateful if someone could check that these two zips I need to flash aren't likely to put the tablet into a bootloop, as I'm not sure what they need to write. The latter is just meant to update SuperSU as currently it says it needs to update the binary but fails when I try and suggests I try TWRP instead, which I obviously can't do as it's encrypted!

Edit: don't try to flash a kernel either! At least not on a Moto G XT1031. It put my phone in a recovery bootloop and I had to restore a backup. I couldn't even reflash a kernel in recovery.
