[Utility] Desktop Rom Flasher!! (Drag Drop & Flash!)

Hello everyone, so I developed a small application called Desktop Flasher. All you need to do is drag the zip you want to flash and it'll automatically push it to your phone, write the appropriate script, and reboot you into recovery, and perform the flashing procedure. I hope to add new features (wireless support) as time goes on. Try it out and tell me what you think

FAQ
I get a failed to push script/or during the first run program it can't detect my device in recovery mode!
You probably don't have the drivers installed for adb in recovery mode. It's easy though! Follow this quick guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Okay, so the program says "Great your Phone will do the rest" and my phone reboots into recovery, but nothing happens...wth??
Most likely the issue is that you're using a recovery that doesn't support openrecoveryscripting. (The official version of CWM and TWRP do)

Yes, just make sure USB debugging is on, and your drivers are already installed.

will it work with a Galaxy Note
Custom Rom and cwm
I made a few themes and had always to copy over the zips and flash them via phone
so I would be really happy if it will work on my device

Cool. Yeah this should work on any device, I and any recovery with Openscript available (TWRP and CWM). I haven't tested cwm but I can confirm that it works on TWRP.

Alright, I think I figured it out. Does the location you're dropping from or the zip itself happen to have any "spaces" in the name? E.X. D:\documents\my rom\rom.zip

the zip definitely not,
but I look at folder on pc tomorrow,
now it's off already
will report then

Alright Cool.
Released a new update, it'll fix possible flash errors in recovery.

jup, it was the spaces in the zip :good:
but now it shows: Failed to push Script
the files are copied to phone correctly

Okay, I just released an update that'll fix it. To update the program just open it, then hit the exit button, and it'll update. The problem was with some devices you can't push to /cache unless you're in recovery. When I'm running sense it works fine, but whenever I switch to AOSP, I would run into that issue. Fixed now

I used the new one v1.1
sorry, I just saw there's a 1.2

I just tried it with the new 1.2,
but unfortunately it booted into recovery without doing anything else,

then after a few seconds it pops up again: Failed to push Script :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hmmm...alright. Lol thanks for being my only dignified tester haha. Okay, can you do me a favor. Download the zip I attached to this post, and run the recovery.bat file. (It'll reboot your device into recovery and attempt to push a file to your cache after a 25 second delay) and can you tell me the output. (Whether it pushes or gives a permission error) Thanks.

no problem m8,
I'm lucky to test a tool which helps me later

Did you rooted using cwm? Try root again. Is your cellphone the GT-S5360 version?

Try updating superuser.

Say thanks to me....oh yup I'm joking?

* simply go stock recovery
* wipe data and cache
* turn on your phone
* try update.zip
* and see you rooted you phone
* if this doesn't works then flash it by odin and try root again...
NO ONE IS PERFECT

going nuts..
thanx guys for ur inputs...but i did all of these, no use
except flashing, is it safe to flash before rooting?
and all of rooting softwares i downloaded are identified as virues by my antivirus (norton)
so i desabled the antivirus & that tried but it still no use

Open superuser app
On settings find update su binaries
click it
wait for it to update then after that it will ask you to restart your phone
if it fails, try flashing update.zip again

Ok bro, so the ROM manager app says that SU wasnt found where it should usually be. So the SU must have been extracted elsewhere which is improbable. But to fix your issue just get another update.zip and reinstall the package. If therr is an SU apk present doimg this should overwrite the exisitng one

be careful
This update disabled TWRP and broke root on my tablet.

Does not update my deb....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I received the update OTA on my rooted (deb) N7/2, booted to TWRP and flashed the .zip, that is in /cache. Update runs fine. I didn't use the recovery option to fix SU permissions.
Just rebooted to OS, went to recovery and flashed the SU.zip afterwards.
Root and TWRP are working fine.

I received the update too and installed it via twrp.
All went fine exept for root. I just had to install chainfires root package (1.55) again.

is it a sign to get a factory image in a short time?

You have touchscreen problems on a LTE version? I don't have any problems on my LTE version with 08.2013 build date.
If the update is for fixing touchscreen problems, then I'm not sure if I should update...

No, I have the FLO but I think, that FLO will get this update, too... sooner or later...

Slightly OT here, but since it might still be useful for future OTA updates: How does one catch/find out the OTA URL of an update? I understand that the update itself gets downloaded to /cache and there you can find the filename, but what about the URL?

simplest way is a proxy in your wifi network, which handles all http/https requests for the phone/tablet.

If you know the update file name then it's easy. Address is android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_devicecodename/filename so in our case android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_razorg/filename

if i am not mistaken the url is also visible in logcat.

So just to make sure I`m getting this right, I have a rooted DEB with TWRP installed:
1. Flash the zip from recovery
2. Flash SuperSU.zip
3. Reboot
4. Done
Or is a reboot needed in between between steps 1. and 2.? Does anyone have a working link to the SuperSU files needed (thanks in advance!).

No need to reboot between 1&2, at least not on the wifi model.

Even more simple is:
1) just allow a USB developer mode in the settings (no root needed)
2) fire up your ubuntu linux
3) run adb lolcat | grep http in the terminal

Is this a KITKAT recovery?

Yes jellybean as well as KitKat

Hi.
Thank you for this good recovery! I'm using it from this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rom-wiko-kitkat-rom-mmxa120-clones-t2981756
But, I have found two bugs:
1) USB don't work at all. It's possible to fix it? I like to have ADB access in the recovery.
2) The option for "Re-root System (superSU)" don't work. I executed it multiple times, boot to Android, download SuperSU, but then the program says "no su binary available". You know why this function don't work?
Regards!

Ok,
So please, can you publish two different versions? One with su binary and one without. Then the user can select if it's partition maps has sufficient space.
Related to USB port. How I can access to shell with this recovery? From the mobile, from USB, from wifi, or whatever... ?

I would have never removed su if the recovery partions is of size more than 6 mb but unfortunately it is of 6mb only and su binaries in recovery are old u can SuperSU zip and get root access LINK
If you are using kk rom then i will advice u to use Superuser instead of supersu. because supersu fails to elivate some permissions in mtk kk roms.
And for access try usb otg

Ok,
Related to SuperSU, I recommend to remove the option in the recovery or put a mode when the su binary is loaded from the SD card, like the load of the Aroma FileManager.
In reference to USB, don't work at all! If I try in the Philz to enable "usb otg" it don't work. What I can do?
Thank you!

Hi,
Because no posts about fixing the USB problem. Plase, can the author publish the source code of this port?

Tomorrow I upload the steps to follow, I have not continued trying with other applications. Applications must be installed using TWRP in Zip format. The Zip can be created or I can also upload the file and it would only be to put the APK you want to install inside the Zip.
