Hello, I'm wanting to do an android upgrade on my phone. I don't have a pair of eyes around for this task. I was wondering if it were possible to cast the screen to my tablet, also running android, and have the tablet's talkback version work with the phone upgrade? Thanks. Dave.
So far as I am aware, no. If it's a normal upgrade, the only part that
should run without TalkBack available is the actual process of overwriting
the firmware with the new version. If you need access to that (e.g., because
you suspect it is going to fail), I suppose you could run OCR software on
another device and capture a screen image with the camera.
If it's something more complicated than a normal upgrade where you're
interacting with the boot loader or other low-level functions, then I would
suggest performing it with a helpful friend or colleague available who can
guide you through the difficult parts.
Disclaimer: it's about three years since I've worked significantly with an
Android device.
