Hi!

This doesn't work for me, Please help.

Nexus 7 2012 Wifi, Kitkat 4.4.4 (KTU84P) rooted and custom recovery.

I'm trying to OTA update to Lollipop 5.0.2 and when i run Flashfire i get this error:

I don't see any Maps.apk in /system/apps/

Anyway to fix this without me loosing root or data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Flashfire needs systemless root (and an unmodified system) to apply OTA updates.

You would be better off flashing the latest Factory Image (which can be done without losing data), you would need to root again afterwards.

Hi

I'm flashing Xposed at the moment, but my LG G4 has been off (black screen) for about an hour now and I'm not sure if it's booting back or not. The phone is cold, and if I plug the USB cable (charger) in no LED turns on. Should I keep waiting or take out the battery and reboot it? Don't wanna mess anything up, but I think one hour is pretty uncommon, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] decaturguy:
Thanks i did that and it worked, i flashed stock system.img and installed supersu and then i ran Flashfire to do OTA update and it worked.

Thank you Chainfire :D

I've not understood wipe menu, is it possible to do something like wipe system???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
No, not with flashfire, you need a custom recovery for that. Flashfire can't wipe a ROM when it's installed on that same rom

Hi all

I have a Sony xperia m5 with a locked bootloader.

When I start Flash Fire, there is a card saying "Sony device untested".

In this card it also says "RIC patch and writable /system are minimum requirements"

So my questions are:

1. does being routed not mean my system is writable?

According to ES explorer my system is writable. I also checked a random directory inside the system.

2 is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317432 the RIC patch?

Still can't find clear info on this. The ctrlaltdel file they are talking about in the above mentioned post isn't present on my device, so I assumed my device isn't effected.

I gave it a try with a flashable harmless system app. It rebooted and showed me the black screen for half a minute, but then it just booted up again without any result.

I tried to make a backup and the same thing happened.

I have the flashfire log, from this last attempt. But not the lastkmsg, since my system doesn't let me copy it. (It does exist)

I can't upload in this edit with Tapatalk. I'll post it :)

Does everoot works with Android 6.0.1? I'm thinking of flashing android 6.0.1 then using everoot for supersu in system partition to achieve root with a Knox of 0x0 with an s5. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Manuel15:
1) it depends, if your /system is mounted as r/o (read only , it's not writable, but you can use an app with root permission to mount it as r/w (read/write)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fredro:
I tried to install OTA on nexus 6p. But I have xposed installed so I tried to make the list of actions like this:

1. run the uninstall zip of xposed

2. apply ota update ( it also said it will return original boot and recovery)

3. run xposed zip

4. Re-root

5. reboot

still it said that the system partition was not ok. Is there anything I might've missed? Do I have to wipe dalvik cache after uninstall of xposed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
For the OTA to work, your system has to be unmodified/untouched.

Even just mounting the system r/w will cause Flashfire OTA process to fail.

You can still use Flashfire to flash factory image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fredro:
So if I have the system.img on the phone I can add a task to flash this before doing the ota?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Yup, but if you install xposed again you will fail the next ota again. Unless you will reflash /system again. Xposed modifies system.

I think i should wait for more work to be done be devs as my phone is not properly rooted and its now running OC3 so to tether by it needs a little more wait!!!! but BTW Good luck to all you guys
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
CleanMaster is a very aggressive application that constantly reshuffles memory and I'm not surprised that it might cause problems with FlashFire and other apps. Unless you have an older device with very little internal memory, it might actually harm more than it helps. To properly test FlashFire, I suggest you first make a full nandroid backup from recovery (TWRP?), temporarily disable CleanMaster, then try a FlashFIre backup and restore, If anything goes wrong you'll still be able to recover by restoring the nandroid backup. Assuming all goes well, it might be a good time to assess whether you really need CleanMaster at all.

I have a Samsung Tab Pro 8.4 that is rooted but no custom recovery because I don't want to trip Knox.

Does FlashFire have the ability to take a backup in this scenario without flashing a custom recovery or doing anything else that would trip Knox? Can it restore in this scenario?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
FlashFire does not require a custom recovery (it basically creates its own recovery-like environment) and should not trip your Knox flag when making a backup. That said, keep in mind that the relevance of the Knox flag is grossly overstated and many of us always run with Knox(1) without any ill effects whatsoever. Even Samsung doesn't care very much about it! ;)

v0.15 pushed

Just pushed v0.15 to Google Play, should be available for you within a few hours. See the first page of this thread for the changelogs.

I hope a number of the black screen issues are now fixed. Please do let me know. Not all reported issues have been looked at, so many little (but important) things have changed it's hard to reproduce anything, hence my asking you below to re-report.

Once again, if you report a crash, please post a logcat of said crash, and if the device offers, use the report button.

From this version onwards, logging has much improved, in case of issues, attach your /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog file to your post.

Please re-report any issues that persist after a new version comes out, even if you already reported them for the previous build. Either include the details again or link to your previous post.

Good to know. I just bought the thing on sale for CAD$249 and I want to ensure for now that it's still definitely warranty-able in case of early hardware defects. I am told Samsung Canada sometimes rejects 0x1 warranty claims, sometimes not.

The only side effect apart from the warranty is that knocx secure environment is no longer available once triggered
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] biggdevon:
Is there any benefit to having a Knox secure environment? I was under the impression that tripping Knox does not affect the phone and you don't lose any functions or features.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SeraphSephiroth:
I have a Note 4 Exynos (SM-N910U)

Clicking all the tabs (backup, restore, both flash options and wipe) cause the app to force close.

It reads the partitions fine though.

How can I obtain crash logs?

NOTE: this applies to the latest version as well as the previous version
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wajiman:
We are getting off topic so pls PM me onwards or post in the releavt zone if you have question. As of now this is the answer that you lose knox environment by tripping knox which is a virtual system within the android. You can find it in Google play store by the name My KNOX. Search Google for more info.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] waleed794:
Can i flash bootloaders and modems with flashfire?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
There are no actual benefits to retaining a "secure" Knox. No functionality is gained or lost, and even anecdotal "warranty" concerns are seldom backed by actual evidence. The only instances I'm aware of where Knox is relevant is in some paranoid corporate environments where a misguided executive (or worse, a committee!) may have decided that tripping Knox would somehow trigger catastrophic security issues. Realistically, ignoring that silly Knox flag tends to make life MUCH easier for anybody interested in flashing, rooting, or updating their device.

Still Crashes with .15

Even with CleanMaster disabled, Flashfire v.0.15 still crashes the moment I try to make any backup at all. Are there any other suggestions as to what I might do? Or should I just use the Odin/Safestrap method to upgrade to Lollipop? I would really love to get FlashFire working...it seems so much more intuitive than the others.

Thanks again for your help.

Just wanted to say that as a paid user of Mobile Odin Pro, I was able to use Flashfire to apply the latest security patch:

boot.img

vendor.img

system.img

No problems, worked like a charm.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I was about to do the same but I'm hesitant because I have encryption and require password on boot so I'm worried flashing vendor will cause me to be unable to use my current password. Did you have password required to boot up?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
you cant temporarily turn it off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
If it's a nexus 5 or something, no. The only method to decrypt is a factory reset. There's only 2 devices that keep encryption on factory reset. The N6 and N9.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dratsablive:
You don't need to worry about encryption, just temporarily disable pin/imprint security before applying the update, then you can reapply the security when update is done.

HI everyone!

Does anyone know whether I could flash marshmallow on a rooted and xposed sm-g920f ?

I think I can not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Last time I disabled the password on boot option everything went fine until i re-enabled it, entered my password twice and then rebooted.. it would not take my password and i ended up having to factory reset and rebuild/install everything. I might just wait for the OTA and see if that will just apply normally since I am systemless rooted or if that fails using flashfire to apply it.

After all this I am wondering why I even have /data encrypted at all since its just my app settings and preferences....

I need a little help installing Xposed. I'm on a blu dash x plus xp d950u running 5.0.2. I do everything according to the manual, including selecting wipe first, and then choosing the .zip file, when I hit flash, it reboots to black for 4 seconds, then totally reboots the phone. Am I doing something wrong here.

OK .27 just rebooted the phone after hitting flash

.24 at least showed all the system files, then the Flashfire screen. It said flashing... but didn't actually flash anything

then it said wiping... and it didn't wipe anything either.

then it went to rebooting... and it just rebooted the phone like nothing happened.

edit: nope I was wrong, it wiped everything, I'm back to stock again. ****.

Great app - but even if I disable / wake it upon unlocking, if I am playing a game, at times the game screen will freeze, and I have to swipe to show notification area / nav buttons for the screen to update. I suspect this is because the sleep mode is being reactivated after the timer runs out.

Has happened with a few games, most notably Rivals at War 2084 and Heroes of DragonAge (both of which I can spend over an hour playing at one sitting).

Note: Also occasionally run into a problem where it is daytime hours, and I have disabled color setting for daytime hours, and yet CF Lumen keeps attempting to go to sleep --> wake --> daytime, even though it is not in a low light situation.

Hey all!

Anyone able to use FlashFire with the new Nexus 5X firmware MHC19J to flash anything?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Nexus 9 March OTA.

Just tried with the March OTA on a nexus 9.

Got the warning that my system, vendor etc was modified. Tried it anyway and I'm sure I didn't modify my system.

From line 1459

Could only find the lastlog and not the other file.

Edit: Flashed the system.img for MMB29R (using NRT) and then using flashfire to flash the OTA.

Seems to maybe have worked, updating apps now.

Note: As mentioned before the embedded supersu version in flashfire needs to be update.

Hi, just a quick heads up:

I used first .24 and now .27 to flash SlimLP 5.1.1 and the matching Gapps to an Amazon Kindle Fire 7. Everything worked super smooth, with no problems whatsoever.

Just take care to move the 'Wipe' Action up.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Just tried update my N5 to the latest OTA i dled from the N5 ota topic. Failed with some message about the recovery having unexpected contents even though i opted to restore original images. I've attached the logs.

** edit **

managed to fix it with the following workflow

- flash firmware package: flashed mmb29q system image

- immediately followed by: flash zip or ota, mmb29v ota zip; restore boot & recovery

- immediately followed by: flash zip or ota, SuperSU 2.68 beta

- followed by flash firmware package: twrp 3.0.0 recovery

though if you can, i still love to see an idea on that error

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Has root EVER worked after releasing a new major version, I don't think so. There's always been policy changes once way or another that broke root. Even during previews they change things. It's that very reason why chainfire stopped finding root during previews and awaits final versions. Because in the final release things won't change again.

I have systemless root and the modified boot is to be expected. If I restore the stock boot, systemless root will go away. Without root, FlashFire won't work. Right?

What do I gain by using FF to flash the factory image instead of ADB?

If I do that, I lose all data anyway, correct?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
I did say flash stock boot and re root

i.e. by reflashing supersu.

Also supersu.zip creates a backup of stock boot, which FF use's so the OTA can be applied, in your case that backup was corrupted.

There is an option to not wipe data or data won't be touched with FF.

Even using fastboot it is possible to flash factory images without wiping data.

On another thread, I found this post. Not everyone is going waste time looking back through your posts just to get info.

You said you couldn't find the lastlog on your device.

Maybe your device is not compatible with flashfire.

If you provided more information, maybe someone could have responded.
