hey bro
I eventually downloaded the ROM and installed it on my p212 reference board!!
now my reset button does not work and i want to get back to my own rom because wifi does not work for my box.

I tried to install twrp 3.1.1 and 3.2.3 and 3.0.2 but device sticks to logo.
i think the problem comes from incompatible bootloader and recovery or kernel.
could you please help me to install twrp on this rom or find a way to boot to upgrade mode?

Hi SC/Trebor, its a zstd.7z file. I can extract 7z on windows but not sure how to extract from zstd which is a linux format. Can you please post just the img file? That would really help. Also the size is pretty big. Its about 2gig and other images I have seen are in 1.2 gig range. So wanted to make sure before I download.

I believe this only comes in a Kresque format:

There is a zstd for windows here.

Yes I tried that. But when I decompressed the file became 15 gb. So clearly unusable. But regardless, SC (and Trebor above) told me that this is a Kresuce build. I have requested SC to post a standard (non KRescue) image. I hope he does that soon but that KRescue thing did not work for me. The build looks amazing cannot wait to try it once he posts the non KRescue image.

They write that zstd decompresses 13 times faster.Perhaps because of this they switch to it .

Probably. But I could not make KRescue work. So that build is not very helpful to me. Now waiting for SC to post a regular build/img file.

What steps did you take with Krescue? Where did the process fail?
