After FF restore, encryption password not working

Hello All,

So I was just about to get excited for having been able to restore a backup on an encrypted device - something that was proving to be elusive as encryption would not start on a device that already had a hundred or 2 apps installed. So I encrypted, installed link2sd and flashfire, and restored the backup.

What I think is happening is a mismatch in hash/key?

Do we still have to wait for play store to update to beta? I think I screwed up by using the regular to restore a backup and got myself into a bootloop. So, now I'm waiting for the beta to come in so that I can install rooted 0C3 again. Had to flash NB1 to get where I'm at. Grrrr
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
Are you sure you posted in the intended thread? FlashFire

is

a BETA product and cannot be downloaded from the Play Store. The current version is 0.21, only available by following the directions in the OP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Update - this time around I only restored system, data, and cache.... it booted! and then it rebooted... getting closer.

FlashFire backup md5 verification ...

I like to do "full" backups ... and on my system, a flashfire full backup creates 30 separate md5 checksums for various partition backup(s). So I wrote a little batch script to automate verifying all of those checksums after everything has been transferred over to a computer (Windows 7 in my case). In addition, it finds and checks ONLY the backups that have md5's (note: flashfire does not generate a checksum for EVERY file in a "full" backup). And it also auto-magically figures out the backup file extension that goes with each md5.

Maybe some of you will find it useful: :)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
It should probably be noted that your script requires Microsoft Windows. If there is a need for it, it might be nice to be able to perform the same magic using the Android Terminal emulator... ;)

Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 rooted with Muniz_ri oc1 deodexed rom with nk1 bootloader. I can't seem to get a backup to restore. It says it can't write to directory... lost and found and some error, rebooting in 3 minutes. Then it reboots with no changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Bones519:
So, tell me if you see a user error here, please. Did normal backup - boot, system, data(tried and failed a few times then it went all the way). Then after a failed rom flash and factory reset, did restore with said complete backup. No dice. :confused:

BTW, used muniz_ri's method to upgrade to oc1 and keep root using ff and it worked great.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carl1961:
one reason or the so many different phone setups that have there own partition layouts, to me the issues or on the older phones, like on my AT&T I have good success on lollipop but kitkat gave me issues.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] todivefor:
Found this to be pretty cool. There seems to be a problem with your "Generate partition backup file lists." I ran it against my ID backup and it got "no file found" for all files. On the Full backup, it got no file found for boot.lz4 and recovery.lz4. I am not very good at bat/script processing. When I get a chance, I will take a look. Good idea. Once fully working, this will also work on TWRP md5 checking, which I do by hand once I move to computer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
FYI, I duplicated the failure and fix today ... I know this is a dataset of only 2 right now, but I don't really have time to run a bunch of backups today. :)

Set the "separate mount namespace" to disabled (box un-checked) in SuperSU ... backup failed at about 2 minutes

Set the "separate mount namespace" to enabled (box checked) in SuperSU ... and backup ran fine.

And again, it worked with screen timeout set at 30 seconds.

I think it may be because the extension has only 3 characters. At line 31 I use the wildcard ".????", and on my machine it picks up any extension that is 1 - 4 characters long. Perhaps the dir wildcard works different on you machine? Sending you a PM to get off this Flashfire thread with this.

flashing

since at&t bootloader is locked and no custom recovery can be installed to flash zip files. Can flashfire be a subsitute for that? so we can install customs rom and or anyother zip files.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Snowby123:
Not completely. You can flash zips but not all ate compatible with your kernel
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
you can flash custom roms..

like snowby said, long as theyre compatible with the stock kernel since you cant use custom bootloaders/kernels

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rmedure:
Ok, rev'd this to work around a weird dos wildcard parsing thing ... and added ability to detect and properly handle backup files that have no file extension (e.g., TWRP backups)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
T/W Roms only no AOSP and no custom kernels no custom recovery. You can flash other zips like sound mods or some themes and things like that

Stuck on "Enumerating Partition"

Hello all, I have had this issue numerous times and could not find what was causing it until now. I just wanted to share with those who may be going through the same problem.

If you are stuck on "Enumerating Partition" and you have root booster installed then you most likely have it in "Speed" mode and that is exactly what is causing the FF issue. Go back to root booster and change your boost mode to battery boost or stability boost and reboot. That will fix the stuck issue.

I hope this helps and my apologies if this has already been mentioned, just that I could never find any solutions posted anywhere.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samccfl99:
Which is why I would NEVER get an S6. I have an S5. How dare Shamsung leave out an sdcard. Trying to make da money....Sorry for being off topic...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] its the peanut:
There are usb otg thumbsticks specially made for android phones, they got a micro usb plug that you just plug in your charge port just like the charging cable

It works for everything, trough philz, cmw and twrp you can mount, restore and backup from an otg usb device, works succesfull with samsung. Using it on all kind of devices in my house.

Also there are otg cables wich is like a charging cable but on tge other end you have an usb input where you can connect even bigger storage devices like hard drives that works via usb
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
Bah I have a 64g S6 and it's a beast and blows the s5 away
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Snowby123:
SD cards slow down the OS and are unnecessary in my opinion.

Sure, it would be a nice addition that many users, myself included, would appreciate,

yet the S6 is objectively better than the S5 in every single way, save for the decrease in durability.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 3bs11:
Thanks for the idea. I got one as a present recently, I just have to find it.

I don't know if I can use a custom recovery on my ATT S6 since the bootloader is locked. I'm not sure since I only recently started tweaking with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
Some of us would never consider getting a device without removable storage, but please let's keep in mind that this is a thread about

Maybe someone should start a thread in the

Need urgent help

Guys, so here's what happened. I am using rooted LG G4 H815T. First time everything worked just fine, installed xposed and I used a few xposed mods too successfully. Then I was trying some options in gravitybox and eventually softbricked my phone. So I had to install the stock firmware and then rooted again preserving all my apps. But now whatever I try to do with FlashFire, phone goes into black screen and then nothing. Phone doesn't boot up automatically. I thought maybe wiping cache & delvik cache will help. But even when I try for wiping, phone goes into black screen and then nothing...

I really need to install xposed. So I will b very thankful if anybody can help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Snowby123:
The screen should go black for about 30 seconds. How long do you wait before calling it a failure?

I read that it was. I anyways set to 10 minutes and have never had a problem. Not gonna find out if that is why.

Also, make sure you move wipe to first on the list, not after flash.

I just installed FlashFire on my Nexus 5 just to test it. Currently backing up my whole smartphone. I noticed that the screen doesn't turn off or gets dimmed while FlashFIre is performing the backup. I use a usb storage via OTG which works fine so no way of connecting a power source.

It would be really nice to use the power button to turn off/on the screen during a backup (or restore) process to save some battery. Maybe you can add it to your TODO list :)

flashfire doesn't detect backups

I copied a backup I had on the nas over to a usb stick and connected it to my galaxy s5. When I open flashfire and restore, it doesn't show any backups. How can I get it to point to these new storage locations? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] angelle97:
I believe it has to be saved to either phone's internal memory, or the phone's extsd. However, I recommend saving it to internal sd, since I've always had issues with external cards.

Wanted to let everyone know....I used Flashfire 0.21 to flash my Verizon Note 3 from stock rooted (4.3) MJ7 all the way to JasmineRom 5.0 (OB6). I never installed Kit Kat or any Kit Kat firmware. Skipped it entirely

I had an issue after the flash of JasmineRom & flash of Firmware completed successfully using Odin. However, I still had root.

On first boot I received a com.android.phone error & the phone wouldn't/couldn't connect to the Verizon network. Baseband unknown too. Click ok & the message continues to return. No phone calls, No text messaging. Obviously the radio isn't working.

Wifi was working properly.

I didn't panic. I read & searched & studied everything I could find before doing anything.

For 2 weeks my phone was out of commission but I didn't panic. I was patient

Today I used Flashfire to perform a wipe of System, 3rd Party & Dalvik. Set Flashfire for a normal reboot. Then I prayed......and waited.

First boot took about 10-15 minutes to complete. It's unnerving because the phone seems "stuck" on first boot. BE PATIENT!! "android" logo was going from dim to bright, dim to bright. I just left it.

The Note 3 finally came alive & I saw the magical "LTE 4G" signal light up. Logged into my Gmail account & DL'd & installed most of my apps .

The lesson? I should've wiped.

I rooted my Note 3 in Nov. of 2013 & installed safestrap. Then I didn't really do much else to the phone until now

Wanted to let everyone know my experience. Hopefully this is helpful for someone else.

I have been experiencing Flashfire 0.21 crashes similar to others when attempting to perform backups and restores and have discovered the following:

1) A Flashfire backup and restore of Muniz I545_OC1_Stock_DeOdexed_ROMwNK4_BL was possible without crashes when only basic apps were installed.

2) Flashfire 0.21 crashed when backing up System after the installation of XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 and xposed-v65-sdk21-arm-arter97-V5-krait on my Verizon SCH-i545.

3) Also, the installation of the Divide email app on a clean (Xposed never installed) flash of Muniz's ROM causes the same issue. Uninstalling Divide doesn't help.

Chainfire - I hope this helps in isolating crashes that some have reported.

Herc, here, ex moto x razr theme designer from a decade ago. Nice to see CF still around.

Successfully flashed, ran and backed up both odexed and deodexed OC3 files using FFpro, since release..

One note:

If you're running andromizer, FlashFire will hang at enumerating partitions and no su toast, if you've installed andromizer prior to FlashFire.

Uninstall both and reinstall FlashFire first, then andromizer and you'll have no issue.

You can wipe the biff davlik prior to flashing, if you want, I didn't.

Does FlashFire hang when backup up?

Hi,

I'm using SuperSu pro, M-Odin pro and FlashFire pro on my Galaxy S5 (G900F).

During a full backup (everything) I had to terminate FlashFire by pulling out the batteries

after more than 40 minutes. (A full back by TWRP onto the same SD card took 20 minutes)

The TWRP backup is about 9GB while the FlashFire had produced just 2GB in 40 minutes.

(I have an exfat file system on my 128Gb SD-card)

Hello! I just tried searching in the thread but found nothing relevant, sorry if this has been discussed already.

I've just installed v. 0.14 on my S4, running Team (UB) 5.0.2 (CM12 based ROM).

Whenever I try to launch the app it fails saying it cannot acquire root permissions. A few other apps have or had similar issue (e.g. Titanium Backup) and require SuperSU to be installed. Is it the same? Or is that something else?

Not sure if that makes any difference: Mobile Odin Pro works fine.
