The recovery was not updated in this build.

I haven't tried to flash one with Odin yet because I don't think there is a backup way to flash it like in other Android phones in case something goes wrong.

Recovery allows you to enter download mode and flash the phone. If its not working then you can still boot into Android, but you will be unable to do major updates.

In most other phones there is a flasher built into the main OS that only has access to the recovery partition. This way if your recovery gets damaged you can always boot into Android and try again from there.

I might have over looked it but I haven't seen a recovery flasher built into the Behold 2.

Since we now have a way to flash custom ROMs directly to the phone what other benefits could we get by having a custom recovery?

It may be possible to get Odin to flash these partitions. I suspect it may have to do with the Debug ONLY > Phone Boot Update option, but I haven't experimented with it yet.
