  • Flash custom recovery to the inactive (other) slot
  • Get update.upx, decrypt, unzip on desktop (no payload dumper needed).
  • Put payload.bin & payload_properties.txt on a FAT-ish flash drive
  • Reboot recovery
  • adb shell start autoupdate
  • Remove USB cable, plug in OTG/flash
  • Drink a coffee, watch the little LED on the flash blink
  • Put the flash in the PC and look at autolog.txt
Thanks for the instructions. I tried that.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to work here.
I get the following output on the screen:
Code:
ttyscreen has started
Waiting for flash drive...
But when I unplug the USB cable and connect the flash drive, nothing happens for about 12 seconds. Then the LED in the power button turns blue. Afterwards nothing else is happening and when I reconnect the device to the PC, it seems to be in EDL mode.

PS: I tried that with three different flash drives. All of them are FAT32 and get detected on my Android phone. So it is unlikely to be caused by the flash drive.
