There are basically three ways to flash something:

In a rooted Android shell

Code:

# dd if=/sdcard/some.img of=/dev/block/by-name/some_part

With fastboot
Code:
```
C:\>fastboot flash some.img some_part
```
With EDL
Code:
```
C:\>edl /w /psome_part some.img
```

Of course you can always do a normal update using the stock Onyx software.

Fastboot flashing seems to be disappearing. You might try to retain the old abl from a previous update. Or just backup your current abl. Besides flashing there should not be incompatibility between the old and the new abl.
