Then unfortunately, all of the repetitive questions has buried from you that the time has to be set back to now.

Using the terminal (termux) to change the date was ONLY suggested to a user who couldn't do it through settings.

The snark, laughing and sarcasm has a lot to do with venting the frustration when 10 pages of the exact same question is asked with zero effort to help themselves first. Thus building a mess that means the answer gets buried, thus demanding visitors to post 10 more pages and further burrying the answers.

It's because your system date is current and the free version is expired. You need to manually adjust the date/time settings on your device to something like the end of March, and the app will run and allow you to purchase the pro version, which doesn't expire.

I believe the author of Magisk has an uninstaller zip. I can't report on uninstalling and installing 14.2, though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
Dirty flash your ROM, then flash 14. That will overwrite the boot partition then it's clean for a new root install. If you want, you can use osm0sis' unsupported.zip first. Scroll through the first post of the linked Odds and Ends thread to find it.

If you want, you can use the Magisk uninstaller zip first.

FF was a great combination with magisk to install OTA's at least this function should be maintained in time IMHO.

BTW I have purchased it from 0.2x onwards....but no use atm anymore....the same applies to super su since it cannot pass safety net for my banking app to run..

Just my 2 cents..... :)

SuperSU sr5 + suhide = pass safety net (in most cases)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No to be the "devil's advocate", as I don't agree with the [MENTION=3383606]Vaira[/MENTION] that the program shouldn't be bought anymore, but SR5 doesn't work with Android 8.1 (which is why I use Magisk at all, and why I use Magisk v14.2 to use with FlashFire).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcmm11:
I'm also on 8.1 and running Magisk. I've heard that SuperSU does work on 8.1, for some cases (not all). I didn't even try it though. Anyway that's why I specifically said "in most cases".

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashyx:
People also keep stating Flashfire doesn't work with anything past Magisk 14.2. The latest version of Magisk works just fine with Flashfire on my devices.

This is not a Pixel thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I didn't know newer versions of Magisk were working with FlashFire on any other devices, as I'm sure the others who said 14.2 was the most recent that worked didn't know, either. I thought I remembered some who don't have Pixels reporting 14.2 fixing their FlashFire issue, however. In light of your information, in the future I'll tell people that if the latest version of Magisk doesn't work with FlashFire on their device, to try v14.2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashyx:
What is it that actually doesn't work, so I can verify for sure?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I can say with certainty, that with Magisk v14.5, 15.0 and 15.1, and on the first 8.1 months' final release, that launching FlashFire never causes Magisk to prompt for SuperUser access. There are no problems with any other apps that I use, or root apps (including Titanium Backup). Those were the only versions other than 14.2 that I had tried, back when I switched from SuperSU since SR5 doesn't work on 8.1 on the Pixel 2016.

I'm not as flash-crazy as I once was, so I don't start fresh but maybe once or twice a year anymore, and I haven't tested any newer versions and/or on a newer monthly stock ROM. I do use stock with root and ElementalX but I had tried under all sorts of "test lab" (stock, rooted only with no other apps) conditions when 8.1 first became final. I was very much considering a clean flash of the April 8.1 update, however, so if I do, I will take the opportunity to test newer Magisk releases.

As far as SuperSU v2.82 SR5, I'm guessing at least part of the reason it's not working on the Pixel 2016 is due to the A/B partition structure. You just don't wind up with root after flashing it from TWRP on the first final 8.1 - of course, I haven't tried on more recent 8.1 or TWRP releases, but I wouldn't have much hope anything has changed.

Edit: Man, I can't type this morning. Corrected lots of tiny little typos and words I omitted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CVertigo1:
I can verify that FlashFire does not work on the Galaxy S5 running Lineage 14.1 or 15.1, using Magisk 15+. I haven't really tried any older versions of Magisk lately. I haven't tried flashing SuperSU on Lineage lately. It bootlooped when flashing in TWRP when I first installed Lineage 14.1, and Magisk did succeed when I tried that. I haven't tried SuperSU on 15.1 yet.

I do get the root prompt and FlashFire does run, but it does not execute the flash correctly. It tries to restart into the FlashFire recovery environment, but it gets stuck along the way. It stays on a black screen and needs to be manually reset.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:

Maybe this is not quite related to FlashFire itself, but if I compile and flash with this an 8.1.0 AOSP ROM for a 5.1.1 device with a LOCKED bootloader, will anything work?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
FlashFire requires root to work. If your device can be rooted with a locked bootloader, the answer is maybe. [emoji6]

The standard test is to see if you can do a backup with FlashFire first. If so, the odds go up.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Supersonic27543:
Yes, it can be rooted, with full featured FlashFire But, doesn't it create boot related problems? (5.1.1 boot with 8.1.0 OS?)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
That's a different issue than can FF do the install. I would NOT expect that you could just install an 8.x system partition without also updating boot (and whatever other partitions you device uses like vendor). There are massive differences between lollipop and oreo, not the least is how security is handled.

This is more a question for you're device forum though.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
In the SuperSu app, is the "mount namespace separation" option enabled? Whichever, disable/or enable (the opposite of what it is now) and reboot, then try again.

Are you using SUhide? If so, try removing it.

If those things don't help, it might be something about your ROM.

Nexus 6P updated failed but solved

I recently updated my unlocked Nexus 6P with FlashFire from Android 8.0.0 from September 2017 to the current 8.1.0 from April 2018. As I remember, I selected boot, system, vendor, modem and bootloader. Also wipe dalvik and cache, keep recovery and inject SuperSU.

FlashFire did its magic but I was then stuck during boot at the Google logo.

Booting into the bootloader revealed that the bootloader and modem weren't updated. Maybe other parts also not.

I don't have enough knowledge how the system works, but the 8.1.0 android-info.txt states "require version-bootloader=angler-03.79" which the phone didn't have.

I then used the Nexus Root toolkit, which basically flashes images with fastboot and flashed bootloader-angler-angler-03.79.img, radio-angler-angler-03.85.img, boot.img, system.img and vendor.img.

After that the phone started fine and I'm now on 8.1.0 without losing any data or root.

While FlashFire seems to be a handy tool if you don't have a pc, going forward I'd rather use fastboot or the Nexus Root Toolkit. Maybe someone can also enlighten me what I may have done wrong.

I still value the effort behind FlashFire and the community and bought the Pro version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
[MENTION=564603]2Wires[/MENTION]

Anytime the bootloader needs to be updated, I personally would never use an on device tool. If you read the documentation on Chainfire's FlashFire website, you'll see that there are warnings about flashing bootloaders and hoops to jump through if you insist on doing it.

Why do I use FF? I update my custom ROM, flash zip packages and I take routine backups. TWRP can do these things too, but FF runs on some devices that don't have custom recovery.

There are multiple tools that can achieve the same result. There are also times that fastboot is just the right answer.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
I've never had issues with looping like that. All flashfire does is load the zip file and initiate the zips OWN updater script. The OTA itself does the rest, including updating the bootloader, vendor,...

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
I'm still running a 14.2 version of Magisk since newer versions were not working for me. Some have said 16 is working for them. Your middle of the road result may reflect ROM differences.

I would attempt a backup. If the backup works ok, then I'd have confidence in other actions. If not, then you may had to revert to an older Magisk until FF gets an update.

Hi all,

My Note4 USB port stopped working so I tried to install a Stock ROM (N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FBTU1BOB2_N910FXXU1BOC4_HOME) as I can no longer connect using Odin. I know that this Stock ROM works as I installed it a few days back, however with FlashFire I ended-up with a bootloop. I think the issue is likely to be the Bootloader, but I expected the Stock ROM to already have the correct one. After the install and restart I did go back into recovery and clear the cache, but still no joy.

Does anyone know where I should look to try and resolve this? I have also installed the default Samsung Recovery so not sure if I will be able to resolve anything.
