Tips

To use usb otg, just click on the “USB OTG” button in quick settings, this will enable the detection of usb devices for 30 seconds.

To boot into the new recovery you can press the vol- and power button at the same time with the tablet powered off. The touchscreen in recovery could make two or three seconds to works, don’t worry, it’s normal.
