Some time ago when I was using alternative firmware for my Xiaomi MI5 provided by Xiaomi.eu community I was a bit irritated by updates. Now they're using OTA to updates but then it needed reboot to recovery and flash update zip-archive but in software power management panel there wasn't reboot to recovery switch.
This is the reason why I create this application.
It's available on my Github here
Functionalities:
- Rebooting device to Android system ,because some devices haven't got that
- Rebooting device to recovery mode. Usefull for example for flashing rom from zip or for wipe.
- Rebooting device to bootloader (fastboot) mode. Usefull for flashing recovery , unlocking bootloader or to use MiFlash for Xiaomi devices
In future I'm planning to add multilanguage support and updating from zip file directly from application over recovery.
Root privilages don't need.
Some proof of work
