I have tried it once and it worked
here is what i did:
1: flash the ROM
2: Use qtadb to copy /system folder
3: make update .zip

idk backup using cwm recovery then flash?
Well there is a way to flash zImage as it is from cwm - search in development forum - marcellusbe posted about it
But no way exists to flash rfs files from cwm
im just letting the S3 users know that i have now got an s3 and will begin developing for s3 now!
starting with my first creation for the s3, i have made a flashable .zip file that flashes the selected recovery, so no need for re-downloading and re-flashing, simply flash the .zip, then aroma will open asking whitch recovery to flash then it will flash then reboot into the new recovery!
coming soon!

ok, good luck with it!
personally I do not see the point yet as I just can download the single recovery (there is anyway not that much choice) and flash it but I am sure there are users that will appreciate an Aroma installer.

The point of this being that some recoveries cant flash certain .zip files... eg twrp 2.5.0.0 cannot flash .zip files with aroma, this is also a pachage to help developers!

An app that could connect to a central repository and download the latest versions would be great. Then using the same method stweaks by siyah uses to "hijack" recovery or temp boot would make more sense to me.
That way you open app, choose recovery to boot and flash your zips. Then boot back to android...
Rather than boot recovery, flash zip,,choose recovery, flash zip...
Or just use philz recovery and be able to flash all zips anyway

Building recovery from source is very difficult. sm7102 is same to sm-g7105 so both recovery. Img should be unpacked and i don't know which files should be replaced.
So developers who port recovery,their help is needed.
recovery
I repacked a recovery and changed some file, and repacked and finally the custom recovery .img compressed in tar.md5 file and reflashed by odin, but it dosnt work . i think i have to learn more about files in there, but it's not easy to learn by myself.

you use this tool http://boot-repacker.blogspot.com/, first you put a stock recovery.img in one directory or a file, and you unpack the recovery with the the boot recovery repacker , in the the file you will find a ramdisk and kernel images, into ramdisk file u will find all files that u have change. after that changing files y have to rapack the recovery, dont forget that the tool boot recovery repacker must be always open, dont close it. after repacking the edited recovery , u can compress this recovery and tar file and add md5 with an other tool md5 tool packager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2.

This tool is for mtk devices and it does'nt repacks recovery correctly. You have to check every tool by unpacking stock recovery.img and repack as it is make no changes then flash and check that recovery boots or not, if it boots it means pack/unpack tool is ok.

Hi, can some one give me a guide on the nexus 6 p running mhc19i for no force encrypt, with either a system root that will allow me to remove apps, or a systemless root that I have to go through recovery, and is there a recovery for this version at this time other then the stock one

To decrypt you need to format the userdata partition:
Code:
fastboot format userdata
This will obviously wipe your storage so back it up to your PC first. You will also need to flash a custom kernel that doesn't force encryption first otherwise the stock kernel will just encrypt again when you boot after formatting. You need to use TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU to get root. I have detailed instructions in my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
yeh, is there a custom kernel for mhc19i

Of course, there are many. Have you actually looked?
yes, I have looked, but most of them have an aroma installer, I am totally blind so I need one I can flash through fastboot as there is no talkback in aroma or recovery mode. Even the stock no force encrypt would be helpful thanks.

You can flash any of them via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll just end up with the default settings. Why don't you just flash TWRP? Then you can install it the intended way.
I can flash twrp through fastboot, but I am totally blind and use a screen reader, so I would have to have some one around to use the twrp interface, since there is no speech there, so I need a kernel or modified no force encrypt boot.img I can flash through fastboot

Ahh, I see, that is definitely a difficult situation. So basically as I said, I believe any of them can be flashed via fastboot, but it isn't without its own work. You'd need to download the kernel zip, extract it, place the boot.img into your working directory (your fastboot folder), and use the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command to flash it to the device. This will give you a kernel that doesn't force encryption, and you could then go on to use an app like Kernel Auditor to tweak the settings once you've booted into Android. How possible is this for you?
well I downloaded fk-r12-anykernel2.zip and unzipped it and there was no boot.img inside, so, can you send me a link to a boot.img for his kernel or the stock with no force encrypt, and am I missing any features by not flashing it through recovery, don't really care, just asking, but if you can please send me a boot.img for the verison I posted earlier in the thread.
Thanks so much for your help

Apologies for the late reply, been a bit busy with my family. It looks like Franco is one of the kernels that doesn't have the boot.img directly inside the zip. There's probably a way to extract it but it's beyond my expertise. I'm in the process of extracting the boot.img from some other popular kernels for you now though, I'll update here once I have some uploaded. It might take a while because my upload speed is woefully slow.

Actually, it turns out none of the kernels have an easily accessible boot.img inside the zip. Things have changed since I last unpacked a kernel. I'll see what I can find out for you.

[UPDATED 3-10-16][Stock modified boot.img for regular root/Android N decrypted boot
It contains a stock modified boot image allowing system root and no force encryption. He updates thread for every build. Flash right from fastboot. If you need anything else feel free to PM me.
