I have a G900A. IF you have one (no signature on your acct), that would depend on what you came from, 4.4.4 or 4.4.2. Your BL is now OA1 (444). If you were on 444 and had a backup, then i might say you can restore the backup and odin the OA1 kernel and reboot. If however you were on 4.4.2, then you will have to go back to NCE and go forward. This will wipe out your internal storage, so backup PHONE folder first.

I love and miss Viper too, but have learned to live without it for now. LP is faster and less bugs.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bergerstrasse:
Thanks for your App. I test the App and works on my LG G3, LG G Flex and all Samsung Galaxy Phones S1-S6 and NotePro 12.2 and Tab 7.7
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kevinco1:
I'm also unable to backup to my external SD card. I've made no major changes and all other apps have full permission.

In the meantime I can use SafeStrap, but got very spoiled using your app for backups since it's a 500x faster!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] moeckeraner:
Everytime i have to reconnect my external SD card using FolderMount, after flashing a new ROM. So there are no problems to backup to external sd

Hope it helps
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
Can't get a good backup ... it quits and reboots after about a minute or two. Screen timeout is set for 10 min. Same result whether backing up to internal or external sdcard. Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Zooshie:
How do I backup to a USB I can't work it out
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
I would backup to somewhere on the phone ... and then copy via USB to other desired location.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rslu2:
Please post if you find a solution. I've had this issue on v18 and v20
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
Same result with v18. Ugh ...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kevinco1:
V18 no longer works because of the expiration date for the beta. Use V20 instead.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
v18 can be made to work by manually setting the date back. I meant "same result", as in ... the backup quits abruptly at about 2 minutes without finishing (that's with v20 and v18).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rapunzl:
I can't see the rom on my internal or external sd with flashfire, but I can with file managers or MyFiles. On v20.

Try re-downloading. I've seen that when the zip is corrupt.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], there is no possibility to add a feature to save and restore our backup to external sd card ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sinner822:
There is.. Click location.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samccfl99:
Maybe in the beta or official release, if FF can detect a sdcard, then it would be nice to default to it for backup and restore instead of the internal. Just a suggestion. I have absolutely no problems with flashing or backing up with V0.20.

Tmobile GS6 Problem

I have the tmobile GS6 and I'm trying to flash a rom. When I go to zip or ota and flash it the screen goes black and it scrolls through the process of what looks like reading the rom then nothing. What am I doing wrong? I have to hard rest the phone to get it back on. I've tried unrooting and factory reseting my device as well as flashing the stock firmware through odin but it still quits immediately once it stops loading flashfire and just barely starts the flashing process

Flashfire will go black for several minutes before you see some action on your screen.

Hi keep up your good work

Request you to let me know is there a way to turn off supersu temporarily from android code by calling a api to disable superuser check option kindly confirm

Thanks

Raja
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
It's

NEVER

a wise idea to quote the entire OP, especially since this is a thread about FlashFire and you are apparently asking a question about SuperSU. That said, even in a proper SuperSU thread, you might have to explain what exactly you have in mind since SuperSU is not "on" or "off". It's simply an optional app that allows you to selectively allow or disallow root access for the apps you specify.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RajaMu:
Ops I am bit new so I didn't taught that much about quoting would leads to wrong impression..

Because as far I been used so many forums or my own forum itself at fgsfoindation I never came across so that's the route cause !!!

So sorry forgive me!

What was I tried to ask..

I want to call super su on off switch by a api from my ROM

I know its tuff to achieve ..just checking with him

Anyways will try from android core APIs !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
If you have questions about SuperSU, you should ask in a SuperSU thread. XDA is a huge place and it can only be usable for all if members post in the proper section and without unnecessary quoting. Since you're new here, you may want to browse the basic

User Guide

.

As mentioned earlier, even in the correct thread, you'll have to explain what you mean by "to call super su on off switch". I don't think mind reading is in [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s skillset and it's unclear what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to disable root altogether? Are you trying to revoke root permissions for a specific process or during a specific time? Are you trying to alter "su" processing? Are you trying to bypass SuperSU monitoring of root requests? Make sure to provide sufficient details so that someone can give you an accurate answer.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] humanoid2050:
peronsal experience

Short version: My G900A is bricked after using this app.

I created a full backup and then flashed a new ROM using FlashFire. That was successful. Then I tried to restore the backup. An error was thrown (sadly I don't remember what it was), and now my phone freezes during boot. Reflashing other ROMS via ODIN or recovery mode has not fixed it.

AT&T Note 3

Thank you for solving all my problems (Yes, my world is that small). I have had a lot of issues with safestrap and lollypop on my Note 3. But FlashFire made them all go away. I installed NC2, rooted it, updated SU, and FlashFire performed beautifully. I utilized the stock tar file. I did have one issue with the tar file created for Odin. Odin kept saying that the md5 was invalid, but removing the .md5 extn solved the issue. I now have rooted lollypop.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] autotech40:
Did you make a pc odin tar file to flash the protected partions and flash it?

I beleive you have to have that when changing the os with a different bootloader.

Also have you tried kies3 to restore?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Snowby123:
Nothing to say other than this works
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] humanoid2050:
I managed to recover using Odin and an older stock rom. When I went back and tried to restore again from my FlashFire backups, they didn't seem to actually update anything. Maybe I am not understanding what all is included in the backups. I was actually trying to restore the backups in order to recover my old text messages. Even after restoring, the messages did not seem to come back.

Good morning folks, good morning Chainfire. Well you do a great Job. Flashfire is a great app.

amazon fire phone

Dear [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

Thank you for all you have done for the android community and especially this app. You may know that there has been progress in rooting and customizing amazon's fire phone which is a great piece of hardware at a low price. Due to a looked bootloader and no way to write on its partitions, the fire phone has been largely neglected by the developers' community. I was wondering if it could be at all possible to add fire phone support to flashfire? Perhaps that can spark some activity around that phone. I can share with you the app log if that helps.

Thanks again
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1dredon@gmail.com:
Dear [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

I used your app to flash the stock ROM _BOD3 lollipop on a SM G900F maintaining the root and the knox to 0x0. I started from ROM_NCE rooted with Tawelroot. Everything went as it should.

Then I did a full backup, and everything ok.:):):):):):):):)

Then, starting from ROM_BOD3 I flash the ROM_DOE6 [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] of following this guide:):):):):):):)

Also this time I did not find problems, I kept knox in 0x0 and are happy. one last thing, I wanted to know what else I can flash ROM keeping knox a 0x0?

The credit and all your many many thanks:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D. Sorry for my bad english:(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kilokk:
Well first of all, congratulations on finding a way to recover your phone. It has to be a good feeling to know you went from-- the feeling of having a bricked phone to-- rigorously searching and hoping for a resolution to the issue. :cyclops: One thing you will need to do when making your backups is, #1 making sure you have enough space on whichever sdCard you choose to do your back up. I like to back up to the extSD because I don't need to worry about space with a 64GB card, or #2 if you backup to internal make sure you have about 4GB so you can setup your backup to do a FULL back up until you get comfortable with knowing which partitions you DON'T need to back up and use less space. I'm guessing, but could be wrong, that you didn't select for that data to be backed up. All of the backups I have made with FlashFire have been perfect and have restored any apps, settings, data...etc, . I anticipated would be backed up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] YoungAceAtlanta:
How you figured it out? It's saying the same for me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
I'm guessing [MENTION=3139801]folusmile[/MENTION] finally decided to do as we've all said countless times in this thread: he

READ THE OP

and followed the instructions exactly, especially the part that says:

If it doesn't work for you, that means you didn't do it right, so try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] folusmile:
Actually was trying to use laptop to make it work but didn't work for me. Until I use my phone...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
My guess is that you might have been logged into Google under a different account or maybe not even logged in at all on the laptop. What matters is that if you follow the instructions in the OP,

IT WORKS!

;)

For the record, [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s approach to beta testing for FlashFire is the exact method recommended by Google for all Android devs and it's expected that more and more will switch to it. Maybe when more users get used to this simple process we will be able to spend more time dealing with the app instead of "where is it?" questions... ;)

Nowadays I`m using DevBase ROM made by Alexandr (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628).

Is there any way to just backup data/app and not the full data partition?

I'd like to create a full "Nandroid" backup with Flashfire (/system + /data/app +...), so when anything goes wrong while modding, I can restore a full working image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
UPDATE: Hopefully this will help in figuring out what's going on with backup quitting prematurely. I am able to repeatedly work around the problem by periodically pressing the volume up and/or volume down buttons WHILE the backup is being created. The clue for me was that it seems to always abruptly stop and reboot right about 2 minutes (could very well be exactly 2 minutes but I haven't timed it). And yes, screen timeout is set for 10 minutes. Anyway, I'm very excited to be able to make backups; so now feeling safe then used flashfire to sideload xposed and am now trying out wanam for lollipop. :D

Oh, I'll be glad to pull some logs or whatever might be useful in figuring out the root cause. Just let me know.

Cheers!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samccfl99:
Sorry to waste this post. It would be nice to be able to change the BL and Kernel for some of us...:crying::)

ATT no allow it...LOL. No, no lol. :D

On a more serious note, I backed up and restored on V0.20 again for the first time and restore went well. WHEW! Its just a bit slow on first reboot after restore. Blue light went off, good sign. do not know what it is doing, but it comes up. BUT I have noticed, the same as before, for some strange reason, part of the BT settings are gone. My car wants the pin again and my personal BT needs to be unpaired and paired, but both devices are there. This has happened in all the versions. Not a big deal, just a little pain for a moment...LOL. ALSO I am wondering, people keep talking sometimes about Permissions not being right after flashing with FF as opposed to FF, but then again, the ATT S5 people all flashed [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] stock OC4 rom and also the other two main roms for our phone. So again, I was just wondering. I am sure [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] is watching the forum, as he just gave a Thanks to someone.

No Carl. You must have read it wrong. You know ATT S5 G900A as all att phones have locked and encrypted BL's, unless you have a magic wand. I was just commenting on that other post. As for the rest, I am sure it will be seen, but probably not heard about...LOL. You made me one of your SS flashables when I was playing with Multisystem, but now that they got a fix for Viper, I don't care about MS, that's really the only reason I wanted it and never got it to work anyway.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]. Here's something interesting.

After over a week of failed backup attempts using v20, I successfully completed my first normal backup this morning. This time my GS4 was plugged in. My conclusion is that there is a voltage sensitivity or other power saving mechanism that has been causing the previous backup failures. This also must tie into the screen timeout failures (must be set to 10 minutes).

FWIW, but I'd like to hear from other beta testers that have not been able to complete a backup if they can complete one on AC power
