hello. I have downloaded the android image for nexus 5x. But when I press "flash ZIP or OTA", I can't find the image file in download folder. I can see the file with ES Explorer. Can someone help me?. Thanks.**

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
You must use "Flash Firmware Package" action
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Noelito3:
Thanks!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Yes the firmware option is needed for factory images. It's only for the incremental ota's you manually download you need to select the zip option. Automatically downloaded incremental ones get detected by FlashFire itself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wakeboredb:
I allowed the update to automatically download to my 5x, but FlashFire is not automatically detecting it. This has always worked for me without a problem in the past. I'm not sure what is going wrong this time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Are you sure it downloaded and didn't just give you the notification of ota available? If I'm not mistaken the ota should be located under /cache as update.zip
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CptanPanic:
Same thing here. I downloaded it, but FlashFire did not detect it.

Current version is not detecting the latest OTA the October security patch for Nexus 5x
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wakeboredb:
Yeah, I'm sure. It's asking me to restart and install. I tried searching in cache for the file, but couldn't find it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vt.thomaso:
I've done some searching, but haven't found a definitive answer. Is it possible to use Flashfire to flash the October security patch if I'm running Magisk?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chronchameleon:
Same as some of the previous posts. FlashFire is not detecting the latest OTA and generating flash actions.

I am owner of an Asus Zenfone Smartphone (ZE500Kl) with root.

Is it possible to update to the newest Firmware (stock rom to stock rom) with Flashfire or is it too risky!? Thx.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreoide:
I have the same phone and did like this because fw package (i was not moving from LP to MM but updating latest Fw because of the security patch wich is in latest FW, but I think you can do this also safely this way I discribe BUT make a full backup first)

MMcould not be flashed in FFire when I read the log after doing so I kept reading in the end like " no room left bla bla so I got tired of having this situation and used Odin succesfully after all.

(Make backup in your case full lollipop)

Install the Fw in Odin

reboot.

It takes a while so have 100% battery before u atart and you are OK.

reboot again in DOWNLOADmode

Install TWRP in Odin

Reboot

Reboot in TWRP recovery

BACKUP new FW

reboot

reboot in TWRP

You r rooted already so Knox is already 0x1 .....?

I rooted after I had MM

Rooting MM will trigger Knox 0x1
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
A note for the devs.....

1. I used FF to try flashing a fw upgrade (from B020 to B022) on the Huawei Honor Note 8 (yeah, I know, but twrp can't seem to do it).

2. On completion of the flashing process, (as shown on the screen), the phone tried to reboot..... and went into a bootloop.

3. So I restored the phone to a B020 backup I had on twrp.

4. The phone then rebooted fully, optimized apps and showed a successful upgrade to B022. It's been working well since that.

So... there's hope for Huawei yet on FF ! Looking forward to OTG on MM... ✌

Can anyone tell me how long it took their 6P booting after flashing the nougat update with flashfire from September security to nougat? Mine is probably coming up to 10+min, is using the marshmallow boot animation and I saw things such as 'patching unconditionally'. Didn't see that on my N5, and I'm starting to think it's in a bootloop

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] same experience with my 6p. Oct update is downloaded, but FlashFire doesn't recognize it. stock nrd90u, stock recovery, rooted with su2.78 sr1 and suhide 0.53. no problems updating in the past
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I believe this is the answer to the question I was looking for. I use a LG Nexus 5x and currently have no laptop so I was going to upgrade to October build.. Well there's a new bootloader and I was coming here to see which of the three bootloader spots I would check mark to flash it. I was thinking primary but now I see you don't recommend it at all so I will not mess with it and take care of it when someone makes a twrp flashable or I get a new laptop soon. Thanks for your work. Cheers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Hmmm, something must have gone wrong. Flashed NRD90u, started optimizing apps in less than 30sec's. Gonna see if NBD90X works right when i get the popup.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ketawa:
Stock rooted Nexus 6P with SuperSU v2.78 SR1 and suhide v0.53, TWRP recovery. My phone automatically downloaded the OTA to move from NRD90U to NBD90X. FlashFire detected it and generated the actions to flash it. However, flashing failed. My phone was stuck at the spinning four dots and never made it to the decryption prompt after long waits.

Log here: http://pastebin.com/uYbagAnU

I recovered by using fastboot to flash stock radio, bootloader, boot, system, and vendor, then used TWRP to reflash SuperSU.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
That's probably what happened to me going from M September updates to N ota

Would you mind making a habit of quoting the author to whom you're replying?

When your messages are read in isolation -- and sometimes even when they're not: discussions in XDA threads are frequently not linear -- it's sometimes very unclear what you're talking about, or to whom.

Issue report

I have tried to flash an official firmware package 6.0.1 on the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge F version (same CSC used to flash) and it fails at flashfire's default settings at DM-verity.

It always boots to stock recovery and sits there with that message, no matter what I have tried.

I also wanted FF to boot to download mode in order to flash the modem and bootloader parts afterwards from PC Odin as advised, but it ended the same way at stock recovery...dm-verity failed...

I could not get any log since I had to recover it using a TWRP backup to get it booted to system.

At a version 0.4x I could do that flawlessly some months ago.

I circumvented the issue using the PC version of Odin to flash the SAME one part FW entirely, then flash TWRP and from there SuperSU zip to get root again.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Any clue how to get it work again? I do not want to factory reset it.

ATM flashfire pro is useless for me, I have to go the long way.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,

Vaira
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dacoco:
Managed to get it work:

1) Commandline:

copy /B intsd.tlz4+intsd.0002.tlz4+intsd.0003.tlz4+intsd.0004.tlz4+intsd.0005.tlz4+intsd.0006.tlz4 intsd_complete.tlz4

2) Download LZ4 commandline extract for windows (e.g. http://fastcompression.blogspot.de/p/lz4.html)

lz4 -d intsd_complete.tlz4 outputfile.xxx

3) open outputfile.xxx with e.g. winrar

I'm on NRD90U, Nexus 6p. Got the notification for the next update. As some others have established, FlashFire is not finding the OTA and is not generating the corresponding actions.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
So now you have to "adb sideload" or download complete factory image.

Also what do you mean with ff is not finding the OTA ?

Does it not know it's file location or does it not see it as a usable file to flash ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Sideload isn't an option due to custom recovery and factory image neither. What it means, exactly what I said. Ff isn't seeing that an OTA was downloaded. Location changed or something.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ketawa:
FlashFire located the OTA for my Nexus 6P to go from NRD90U to NBD90X just fine, but the update failed and my phone would not boot. I provided more details and log in my previous post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Weird, mine may not be a full ota then. Description states something about critical bugs, performance and stability. Tried applying it but failed. Twrp booted? Something about mob30d or something. Perhaps it's related but mine is using M boot animation? Twrp and bug report attached. I tried manually fastboot flashing the nrd90u bootloader. This is the result:

C:\Users\<snip>\Documents\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot bootloader-angler-angler-03.58.img

target reported max download size of 494927872 bytes

sending 'boot' (3530 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.106s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: metadata: partition name doesn't exist)

finished. total time: 0.127s

but partition name "bootloader" seems to work. Still it's weird to see the M boot animation. Just going to flash the X factory image (minus the -w flag to maintain data) and hope the next one will work

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rchtk:
If you are on full NRD90U then you only need to flash latest boot.img as only the kernel was updated.

Already flashed, though still wondering about that boot animation.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] coolkingler1:
Hey people, I have a question.

The Moto Z Play dual sim version I have here in Europe doesn't have many people/followers right now and thus no recovery.

Is it still possible to somehow acquire root access via Flashfire? As in, FF does the rooting?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Ff needs root to work. Perhaps there's an app that uses some exploit like KingRoot that can do it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] coolkingler1:
Kingroot?... Okay thanks! That would be incredible, I really want Xposed back.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Don't hold me to it. I don't use that thing.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gnirtS:
Same, Nexus 5X, TWRP, SuperSU. Worked fine for the Sept update (FF detected, flashed, restored root etc). Ive downloaded the 46MB update from the android system (but obviously not clicked restart/install) but FF cant find the OTA file anyway to update. I've looked around manually and failed as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mohamed0000:
Hey guys I have a question

Can we flash a full firmware with this app like odin
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amichaels90:
Another way to solve this problem is by downloading the OTA manually from the OTA Nexus download site.

Then point to the *.zip in FlashFire. It was able to install the update for me no problem. (I'm on a Nexus 6P, rooted, with TWRP)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 089man:
In settings I found a option aroma... Im right, can I flash a rom with aroma with flash fire, without twrp? I have stock rooted rom with cf auto root..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
That's what that setting does yes. It will emulate the arome rom installation environment. May not work perfectly though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
Did you resolve the problem already ?

Looking at your recovery.log it seems that the update does not recognize your device as an Android N device but as marshmallow that's why it won't update the OTA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
I manually flashed the latest factory image and to be sure afterwards flashed boot image too. Though there device loads N just fine, the boot animation is that of M. Guess I'll have to wait for next month. Anyone else's 6p use M style boot animation, even after flashing factory image?

Nexus 5x flashfire problem

I have a Nexus 5x that I bought through the Fi network less than a year ago. After getting it I immediately unlocked the bootloader, but didn't root it yet. I then got on the 7.0 beta program with Google. Then when 7.0 officially came out I loaded it through the OTA. About a week later a short update also was released. A week ago I received a notice on my phone that a new version of 7.0 was ready for me to download. Since I have a 5x I get updates before they're officially announced. After the short update was downloaded soon after 7.0's release I rooted the phone using Chainfire's system (And yes I donated as I always do when I root a phone). I also purchased Chainfire. When this latest download came out a week ago I downloaded the update and then opened Chainfire. It immediately detected the download and I went through the motions to install it. But Flashfire immediately gave me a window with the following "Warning: it has been detected that you may be trying to flash a block-level OTA, but your /system, /ventor, or /oem partition has been modified. This will likely cause the flash to fail." It also gave me the option to cancel or ignore. I ignored the warning and tried to install. The program seemed to be going to its motions even though it didn't take very long. But I couldn't tell if the flash worked or not. A few hours later my phone again showed the same update ready for download and installation. I'm going to take from that the flash didn't work. Can someone tell me why I got the warning from Flashfire and what it means? And how do I correct it? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
You can open the factory image (think system.img) with 7-zip and check if "/media/bootanimation.zip" really is the same of Marshmallow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
I'm telling you it is. According to google N uses some spinning circle, I have the 5 dots changing form.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
You bought Chainfire? I thought slavery had finished haha

But seriously, the error is precisely because you changed your system. As you are a Nexus user, the best thing to do is download the factory image updated and install using "Firmware Flash Package" action
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Here's that specific zip file, pulled directly from device's /system/media. Neither 7zip nor winrar can open the system.img file. Googled around a bit and pulled managed to do it with some other tools. It's the marshmallow one too directly inside the factory image. Just weird i guess. Was sort of concerned seeing video's like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSYa2C9aldc where it's present in DP 4.

Hi Chainfire, thanks for your great FlashFire tool!

It seems that FlashFire doesn't work with systemless SuperSu 2.78_SR1 + Magisk v7 + SuHide v0.54 + Xposed 86.6.

When I flash a ZIP, I get the loading screen and then the screen remains black. I need to force reboot then...

It could be related to Magisk, do you already had this issue reported? Do you need any log?

Thanks and regards

hey, im having problems with FF, on first start it was working and after reboot the interface goes off, i cant load the app.. im using 5.1 rooted with xposed 80 on locked g4, got it with new motherboard after the bootloop issue so decided to keep it locked due to warranty (wont be lucky twice with unlocked i bet) and flashfire is a tool in need :( attaching dump from SysLog

help highly appreciated, thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
As far as I know your bootloader must be unlocked and you must be rooted preferably with SuperSU prior to using ff
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] equiliym:
i did, the system.img came prerooted with ff included, i managed to flash ota zip after and uninstall/reinstall xposed framework and after i wanted to flash something else and ff just not starting anymore, start loading and goes off.. as for the bootloader, chainfire said it should but doesnt really have to be, device specific.. i could flash things at first, now cant open ff

system change

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at. I'm using a nexus phone with all stock 7.0 firmware. I thought I read Flashfire was developed specifically for Nexus phones. I might be wrong about that. Please explain what "changed your system" means. I'm truly confused. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
[MENTION=5584217]Austexcat[/MENTION] Allot of things could have changed your system partition. Editing hosts file with ad-blockers (except if you use a systemless method), mounting your system partition R/W with TWRP/Root file manger are examples.

Flashfire can not apply OTA's if that is the case, because the process can not update a modified system partition.

I was under the impression that it was originally aimed at Samsung devices.

Please help! It's not detecting a single partition on my phone. I have karbonn titanium mach five running android 5.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
If your device does not have partitions in the by-name layout, there's nothing to be done. Send this command in terminal and send the file "/sdcard/blocks.txt" here

su
ls -laR /dev/block/ > /sdcard/blocks.txt
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ginger-Nutz:
Mine is a minor problem.

I can't remember if I bought pro version or not.

I was invited to beta, and inside settings it had an option to purchase at a discount for having Mobile Odin pro. Uninstall at Playstore just shows install and not purchased. In app settings shows pro but I'm not sure if this is "faux pro" as SU used to have.

Only reason I ask is because of time bomb added in v0.53. Wouldn't want to lose my primary flash/backup tool.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
It's the real pro, otherwise it would say 'pseudo pro'. Check your play store purchase history. The time bomb wasn't added on .53, it was prolonged. It already existed.

I'm on Nexus 6 Marshmallow, Franco Kernel, TWRP 3.00, SuperSU 2.67.

OTA updates whit SU installed

Hi ChainFire

I have a request for the latest FlashFire (if possible anyhow).

When the Samsung device i am using is rooted and i try to check for OTA updates I get a message saying i use an unauthorized changed firmware and therefore get no OTA updates.

Is there a way to let FlashFire check for OTA updates and let me download them, or is there a way to make the SU changes invisible for the check performed by the current firmware of my Galaxy device?

Thank you for the great job in what you do for the community.
