The thankless (literally!) endeavor of trying to help users would be much less painful if we had adequate information about the problem instead of having to guess. I'm now guessing that you have verified that you have a functional TWRP 2.8.6.0 recovery installed and that you can boot into it with Power+VolDown. If I misinterpreted your hints and you do NOT have a functional TWRP, try flashing it via other means (fastboot, for example) and see if you still have problems. If Flashify can't flash your recovery image but other methods can, yes, you have a Flashify issue which you need to document (log?).

Keeping Flashify out of the picture, have you verified that you can also boot into recovery via software by typing "reboot recovery" at a terminal prompt? How about with any of the many apps that attempt a software reboot (Quick Boot, Boot Manager, ROM Manager, etc.)? If the Flashify option to "reboot recovery" is the

ONLY

method that fails for you, then I suspect that [MENTION=5562990]cgo[/MENTION]liner will need more specific information to look into it, but if you get the "secure booting" error without Flashify, then you are apparently facing a known(?) root/Lollipop quirk unrelated to Flashify to which you can find various references here on XDA and via a Google search, dude! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] checasey:
I tried this Flashify and the bump method and said from the start it did not work where is the confusion?! You have been most helpful man, one last question how would I get the original boot image to get it back to the way it was on the stock lollipop 5.0? I did not backup before I tried. I know Im a noob.

Thanks homie!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
The confusion stems from the information you don't give us. Once again, I have to guess and this time it seems that you do NOT have a functional TWRP and that not only Flashify but also your "bump method" failed. So far this doesn't seem to imply anything wrong with Flashify. Glancing at threads related to your device, I see that "bumping" is mostly a KitKat think largely untested under Lollipop, but I know nothing about that. I'm sure you can find a copy of the original boot image by searching XDA/Google, but since the recovery image and the boot image are different animals living in different partitions, I'm once again confused and once again I don't understand how this relates to poor Flashify.

Before I bow out of this mess, I'll give you one piece of advice that might finally convince you to hit the &^%$# thanks button: ALWAYS RUN A FULL NANDROID BACKUP before making any changes to your system partitions, regardless of how safe you think they might be. Always means always, no excuses, no procrastination, just do it! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] checasey:
dude my first post said it didnt work and I have since never once said it did work on any platform I tried im sorry you seemed to think other wise!! good day to you
[Android Apps and Games] sjandroiddeveloper:
Just use any other method like fastboot for flashing recovery

And if you want to go back to stock firmware search for your device on xda and ask their, dont start asking anything off topic on a thread

[Android Apps and Games] cgollner:
What is hammerheadcaf? You can download the file manually and then choose it from Flashify.

1. Hammerhead

2. Hammerheadcaf

I need another recovery for hammerheadcaf :)

Sent from my Nexus 5 CAF
[Android Apps and Games] cgollner:
I didn't know about hammerheadcaf. Shouldn't they change the device name in build.prop to hammerheadcaf then? If Flashify fetches hammerhead recoveries for your device, it's because that's the device name in build.prop. Anyway, I'll add an option to manually pick your device whenever you want.

Device name is changed in build.prop

No it doesn't. I try it many times.

I was using Flashify only for flashing recovery. Now I'm not sure that is good idea for hammerheadcaf ROM.

I'm confused. When you reboot into recovery, is it the correct one, or is it stock?

Can this flash ROMs and kernels on an AT&T i337 with locked bootloader?

[Android Apps and Games] cgollner:

[Android Apps and Games] sjandroiddeveloper:
It can flash ROMs and kernels only with a custom recovery
[Android Apps and Games] cgollner:
Not sure about your device, but if Flashify finds your boot and recovery partitions, it should be able to flash kernel and recovery without a custom recovery and even with locked bootloader. You will need to have ROOT though.
[Android Apps and Games] buggerritt:
That's great news. Up until now, we've been stuck with safestrap and stock kernel.

Been using Flashify for ages now, so just wanted to pop in and say... thanks for all your hard work!
[Android Apps and Games] buggerritt:
Ok. I gave it a shot. In the app, I first backed up my recovery (safestrap TWRP 2.7.0.0) and backed up the stock kernel. Then I tried just flashing the latest modem. It claimed to have done so and posted to reboot. I agreed and it reboot into stock recovery. When I got into the app again, it showed that now my recovery was stock. I tried to download and flash the latest TWRP with the app and then it booted into an error that looked like download mode but said that boot failed for some reason (the print was too small to read fully). I pulled the battery and tried 3 times to boot but came right back to that error. Then, I booted into download mode and from there cancelled into a proper boot. The app still says my recovery is stock. I tried to recovery the naked up recovery and is still stock. The modem is still NJ4, too. Not sure what I need to do or if there's anything I can do to remedy it. The good thing is that I used safestrap to get into recovery and it opened up the TWRP 2.7.0.0 and now the app says I have that version installed.

Am I doing something wrong?

I got a note 3 runing lolipop and just rooted my phone, but didn't install custom recovery since knox gets tripped on lollipop. My question is can I use flashify to install custom kernel without having custom recovery? I unzipped the kernel I downloaded and it has few files and folders, as well as the kernel.img file. If I use flashify to flash just the .img file without anything else would that work, or do I need a custom recovery to flash custom kernels?

Love the app, quick question.

I'm trying to set up a queue for flashing using the app. When I try to use add a zip file to the queue, the error comes up "something went wrong when trying to copy the file."

Thanks for the answer, I got TWRP on this baby. :)

Edit: would be good too if it had a black theme and the difference between free and premium were less hidden away. I wondered for a bit why would I buy premium only to see at the end of the description in the play store the limit of 3.

Something else to consider, in your first post there's no clickable link using tapatalk because for some reason it always wants to display images when clicking them instead of following a link.
[Android Apps and Games] cgollner:
Nice :)

Hmm I think I'll just stick with this theme.

The idea was for the users enjoy the app without having to worry if they will need premium or not. In case that they need it (more than 3 flashes), they will know what premium is for. But yes, maybe I'll have to make it more clear.

Ok, just added a normal link.

Great stuff!! installed this on Oppo Find 5 and tested install/back up recovery and kernel.

However, if I pick the zip file to open with Flashify in ES fire explorer, the screen will flash and nothing happens. Only able to flash from within the app.

I would assume this app has the ability to do a nandroid backup as well but guess it's not possible or may be a future update?

Hit and Miss on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 ( p1000 )

Device: CM10.1 [ My own build ] CWM-3.8.2 -

doesn't populate ( CWM ) recovery version til after I've reboot into recovery

Recovery Backup Creates a zero byte file if recovery version is found

Recovery Backup Fails with Unsupported device message when recovery is labelled as stock

Flash a zip : Flashed a CM Nightly and Gapps Package

Note: I added 2 zips the OTA Update failed with signature verification problem - I continued by selecting install untrusted - Didn't Reboot a dropped back into CWM. Both Zips did flash however.

SGT7 are fairly non standard as the ramdisk is packed into the kernel zImage like standard embbeded linux. CM does some extra triggery and stream 3 cpio's insides one archive. The Standard Boot Ramdisk , The Recovery Ramdisk and a 3rd one that picks which one to boot.

Unfortunately your 3 flash limit precludes me from doing anything more.

Usability :

It feels like a well made and fairly solid app :good:

There are a few things I noticed like being offer twrp wipe options even though I don't have it.

Also the never ending progress bar that says flashing is misleading, copying to cache would be the most accurate, I suppose "preparing files" or "preparing flash" is acceptable, but the current message gives the impression that the process has just been carried out.

Overall a pretty awesome app... :D

Thanks

I wanted to make a backup via flashyfy, but it gave me an error writing to the sdcard!?!

It never did before. Maybee I change back to Philz Touch or TWRP (not working now) to get working copies of every recovery for my device.

Backups of kernel and recovery are raw .img files. Nothing to do with .zip or .rar. Be careful when using this app, if you don't exactly what it is you're doing.
[Android Apps and Games] Mike B.:
To expand on [MENTION=4446775]cgoliner[/MENTION]'s reply:

kernel and recovery files don't have/need any extension. They are unprocessed copies of the kernel and recovery partitions which is why you have to be extremely careful.

As mentioned several times in this thread, the local Flashify backup files are stored in:

"/sdcard/Android/data/com.cgoliner.flashify/files/flashify-backup/boot/"

"/sdcard/Android/data/com.cgoliner.flashify/files/flashify-backup/recovery/".

Thanks for the post. It answered some of my questions about what I may be doing wrong when I am trying to install CWM on my SM-N900P. Basically it goes into a boot loop when I try to install it using flashify. This usually happens when I do not clear the cache and delvic. But I do not know a way of doing this while the phone is not in recovery mode. Basically the files from CWM site are image files, which I assume are binaries. TWRP does not recognize them so I can not take that route. Unless it is possible to tar the file first. Has anyone tried that? If not, could you let me know how to clean the cache and Delvic before flashing CWM with flashify? Are you implying that this is possible with flashify?

Apologies for an OT remark, but one often overlooked way to deal with a damaged screen is to connect a USB mouse to the device (you only need an inexpensive OTG cable). You can also often use a USB/Bluetooth keyboard. Please don't ask for details in this thread, try it yourself.
