Hi all.
As the title says, is it possible to flash a zip file without go into recovery mode?
Many thanks !
recovery has to be installed, or no flashing.
but there is an app that is called Rom manager(free from playstore) you can use it to flash .zip while you're on your phone. it will automatically go to recovery, flash and reboot.

I heard others saying that ROM manager can cause brick. I recommend flashing CWM with terminal emulator first, then flash whatever zip with CWM.

The answer is famous: It depends.
Technical answer: yes, if and only if, the partition to where the updatezip is targeted is not being used.
More explanation:
1. You can replace Recovery and Bootloader (not that it's needed, mind you, praise be to Samsung for providing an unlocked bootloader) while the phone is running, because the partitions where these two are located are totally unused during normal phon operation.
2. You CANNOT replace the Kernel or ROM or Baseband while the phone is operating; the partitions are being accessed, and if you (stupidly, I should say) try to replace them while the phone is not in Recovery... chances are you're going to brick your phone.
To perform replacement #1, all you need are: a rooted phone, the Terminal app, and the 'dd' utility (usually installed alongside Busybox).

Many thanks guys ! ^_^

thanks a lot guysss!!! learned lot of things :highfive:
As pepoluan said, its possible. When you open the zip file, except the META-INF file, the other folder will go as it should starting from the root of the phone. Use something like Root File Explorer then its possible. Files such as init.d files can be copy and pasted. I tried and it works.
but its look like a lot of work and seem unsafe..flash using recovery is very easy and safe for me..

2. Turn on USB debugging and Unknown Sources
3. Install LG_SystemBackupTest.apk and start it
4. Wthout touching anything press&hold power button and reboot, after reboot your phone must lags (you can see it by unlock in lockscreen)
5. Connect phone to PC and start root_P880.bat
6. Wait until phone reboots several times.
7. If you get root, you can delete SystemBackupTest app that you have installed on 3d step, because phone will lag with it

You can only install CWM when coming from a Gingerbread official ROM. Meaning you have to follow unbricking instructions to downgrade to an official Gingerbread ROM, then flash CWM using that. Currently there is no CWM-flashable version of Bell's ICS though, but one will probably pop up soon.
hi and help please
5. Connect phone to PC and start root_P880.bat for this do i use mass storage or the LG software?
also when i run the root_P880.bat i get only fail and cannot open and acess denied in the command prompt
the cell reboots twice and then the command prompt window closes
i need help
thank you
edit : it worked
i'll keep y original post just to show that when you get this issue
just try agin and again and again (from run the app and reboot part)
cheers to you for finding and posting this method
Once you do this method is it possible to unroot without going through the unbricking guide and reflashing the ROM?
Edit: NVM it looks like you can do it with the SU app, it says so on the second last page of original thread.

it should work but might need some fine tuning from one who owns a device.

[ROM] JWR66V JB 4.3 [Flash-able] (Takju) & boot loader -Now deodexed v. is available!
Made flashable though Dsixda's toolkit, Thanks to dsixda for that toolkit!
I can't assure that this works on your Nexus, I ahve tested .zip files myself and works well on my Nexus!
If YOU get BOOTLOOP:
Flash another ROM and then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash this ROM!
Flash it at your own risk!
This isn't so good flashable.zip so you may end up to boot loop!
Use Fastboot to fix or any other fixing method!
If you don't have fastboot drivers install them from here: (It's for verizon variant, but works on Maguro)

Ohhh yes...downloading now, good job
Initial Review/Impressions:
Install went as smooth as any other flash install. It looks basically the same but the screen transitions are really smooth (note that I have not installed any apps yet, will update when I do). The first major difference you see is with the camera, the interface has been changed a bit and it does look cleaner, all the usual settings are there i.e. Photosphere etc.
I haven't noticed anything else at a first glance but I will keep on updating as I go along and I will also do a proper battery test.
The usual array of Google apps are pre-installed, although now Google Keep is also added, default browser is the regular android browser though, not Chrome. The usual wallpapers and live wallpapers are present, nothing new here either.
Thanks for making this available so quickly

No, only risk is that IF something goes wrong during flash you can say bye to your Device :good: I've done this MANY times and never had problems, so... good luck to you (and me, since I'm doing it right now)
