What you should be looking for is ADB accessibility when you go to recovery.

Code:

adb devices
12345678
adb shell
# start autoupdate

Code:

starting ttyscreen
waiting for flash drive...

text on screen and i waiting for an hour, not response

Waiting for you to disconnect the USB cable to the PC and plug in the flash drive that you had previously prepared by writing the decrypted update.zip to it.

@Renate I updated my leaf3 to page successfully. Thank you so much

FYI, Steps I did

1. Install adb (platform-tools) from here
https://developer.android.com/tools/...platform-tools

2. Remove Qualcomm USB driver (uninstall and delete Qualcomm driver)

3. Enable USB debugging in setting.

3. Boot into EDL

Code:

adb reboot edl

4. Install WinUSB driver using zadig --> Must restart Windows after install driver otherwise edl.exe can not open the device. Exit EDL by press and hold power button for a while.

5. Boot into EDL again

6. Load Firehose loader. I used poke6.bin from here:
https://www.temblast.com/ref/onyxldr.htm

7. Backup boot and recovery

Code:

edl /r /pboot_b boot.img
edl /r /precovery_b recovery.img

8. Flash recovery

Code:

edl /w /precovery_b page-rec.img
edl /w /precovery_a page-rec.img

9. Reboot to system

Code:

edl /z

10. Reboot to recovery.

Code:

adb reboot recovery

11. Log into shell and start autoupdate

Code:

adb shell
start autoupdate

12. Unplug USB cable then plugin in a 16gb flash drive with update.zip on it. I don't have a type-c flash drive so I used a type-c to type-a adapter. First time failed because USB formatted in ntfs, second time went ok with fat32 format.

Wait for the update complete. Done. Everything works fine.
Tested factory reset. OK

Thanks, that's a nice write-up.

When you do the install it overwrites recovery with the stock recovery.
That's not a big deal. I just mean the custom recovery is not there.
If you need/want ADB access in recovery you can flash the custom recovery.
If you want to see the stock recovery menu, just type "start recovery".

Hi. i know it's kind of off topic to ask here since this is the threads for leaf3/page. Could you send me the recovery for Leaf2. I would like to try it on my leaf2p (64gb)?

You're saying that the Leaf2_P is the same as the Leaf2?

I think that the Leaf2 recovery that I made was kind of screwed up.
I'd have to go back and look at it.
Please start a Leaf2_P to Leaf2 thread.

Yeah it's the same specs for screen, ram, soc but different internal storage. I would like to give it a go. I will start a new thread

Hi. I've been following this topic for a while. Can you make a custom rec for note x3/air3? They are based on qualcomm 680, with 4gb of ram and 64gb storage, same release date. I have a x3 and want to make it to air 3. Thank you alot
