Description

Android A/B OTA images can be patched for root-related workflows before they are flashed to a device. It is useful for advanced Android users and maintainers who understand OTA images, boot partitions, and the risks of modifying system software.

Patching firmware images can make a device fail to boot, lose data, or weaken security. Use only with backups, device-specific instructions, and a clear recovery path.
