It seems to get stuck while launching the final interface.

Can you please check if perhaps the backlight is simply off ? Look at the screen in very good light (perhaps a flashlight) and see if it is truly black, or the interface is there, but really really dark.

If that is not the case, get the phone in this state, wait for a minute or two, then produce 'adb logcat' and post it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Nice find. If this is indeed the issue (the bootloader not understanding 'fill' chunks), I can fix it on FlashFire's side (probably with an option in the settings page). As I said before, all of the bootloaders have different bugs handling these files, so I will have to test this doesn't actually break things on other devices.

That fix would also make the backup larger, but as it is generally stored inside a ZIP file that, the larger chunks are likely to be compressed really well, and it will only make a real difference when unpacking to flash.

New software opporunity

Having just tried your Flashfire product, I was very impressed. It worked on a JXD S192 game console (kit kat 4.4.4 tetra k1 Arm7), but did not work on my Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet (Marshmallow 6.01 snapdragon 810) SGP712. I understand you don't yet support all devices but are working towards broader support than you currently have. I must say I was very pleased with your products performance and ease of use. It occurred to me that you might wish to consider developing another product using the same technology you are currently working on. I am talking about a software restart application that enables android users to boot their devices into options like download, fastboot, bootloader, restart, poweroff, by just launching a simple application from the desktop. There are in fact several companies doing this very thing..

So one might wonder why I recommend you consider this. So far I have not found any products currently on the market that can successfully place the user directly into all of the desired modes. Instead, what I find is if a device has a recovery or bootloader menu, the user is taken to this screen and must then navigate the menu with up down select choices or given the option of doing the volume up, volume down and hold power for a few seconds procedures. While this does eventually place the user where they want to be, it could be dramatically improved by having the capability to actually arrive at the desired destination without requiring any additional steps. It's not that I think people can't learn to navigate these menus or the other key combinations are too hard to learn. I believe the convenience is worth the trouble because it will make it so much easier to perform backup, recovery, and update tasks for people with different devices, such as tablets and phones that may be from different manufacturers or have different versions of Android. However, this is not the only place a dramatic improvement can be made. For all those users with broken. Home, volume + power keys that don't work because of defective keys - this would be a godsend. For without the ability to get directly into the correct mode the users are limited in which recovery, updates and firmware they can apply to their devices. For example, although it is possible to flash a rom file using your software without leaving the desktop, that is only true if the users device is supported. Further more complex updates that involve things like batch files and nvflash executables must communicate with a PC or Mac and this requires the users device to be in the correct mode. Just an idea.

I put a backup via adb to do, and started logcat before pressing the "FLASH" button. What happens is this: the screen appears to loading, with the path of the files in the background and when ready, instead of entering the FlashMode, the screen turns off (no backlight), is about 20 seconds and then reset to the Android. And something that does not have quoted before, is that the screen "optimizing apps" always appears after restart, even without being configured to clear dalvik cache. Then I will also send a Liveboot log that might show why this happens. And when the phone restarts, the logcat is stopped, but when the phone again starts the logcat too, so maybe it also has information related to optimize apps

Hi, I'm using rooted samsung galaxy note 3 sm-n900 android 4.3 jellybean.

I used cf autoroot from xda site years ago. And trying to update the android jellybean to 4.4.2 or higher if possible. I tried updating from software update option on the about device option in setting menu, but got the "your software has been modified. Software update is not possible thing".

I googled and read about possibility to update my android version without unrooting my phone first using flashfire, is it possible? How can i update using flashfire? Or for safesake should i unroot my phone and update the android version officially first, then root it again using the newer cf autoroot for kitkat, lollypop, marsmallow or whatever cf autoroot higher than jellybean available? But I really want to try to update my android version using this flashfire instead going all the way unrooting first.

Any help would be great, thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The only way I can think its possible if you can use FlashFire to chain several events (I know you can, just don't know if it'll work right). You'd have to have it flash a 100% stock unrooted ROM first, and then in the same session have it try to flash the OTA. You can even try without wiping if you're flashing the same version of the stock ROM as you are currently running. You can try FlashFire's Everroot option to see if it'll re-root you in the same session, but if it doesn't work then you'll be updated but not have root, so therefore won't be able to use FlashFire again until you do root. I'm very sure you probably have at least another one or two OTAs past that.

In your case, if you have TWRP or can put it on there, then there's probably an easier way, at least if FlashFire fails to work for what I said above.

I know this has most likely been asked, but using search yielded no answers, or maybe im just not searching the correct words. Ive seen a few ask but they didn't get a reply. I just used flashfire to update my nexus 6p from Janurary update, i was using Cat Mod and i enjoyed it, seems like after the January update it would no longer work, so i didnt bother getting rid of it. But since its July now, i decided to update i saw that Flashfire would be simple. The update worked, but when it booted up im getting force closure on all my apps. Is there a fix to this? Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
As you have not posted the logs from the flash, nor from the force closes you are seeing, I'm not sure how you expect to be helped.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Atticustrd:
How can i get the logs? All i have is my phone at the moment.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The FlashFire log location is given in the first post. As to any other logs, you'll have to Google how to get them - not sure if there's any method to get them without a PC. If you can't get the FlashFire Log using only the phone because of the FC's, you'll have to wait until you have access to a PC or some other method.

If you absolutely must, you can try wiping Cache and/or Data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
Have you tried wiping dalvik, cache and system data again? You did use a wipe action the first time, right? If you can't do this with Flashfire because of FC and you don't have a third party recovery where you can at least try wiping, then I can't imagine what to do without a pc.

If you can wipe and that doesn't help, then try flashing gapps again.

--------- edit-------

Also in recovery, you might try disabling the theme. If you can install a logcat and use it, here is a thread to help with logs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2274119
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Atticustrd:
Thanks guys, i went to twrp recovery and wiped. When the phone booted up all my apps and everything was reset. I made sure to just wipe davlik and cache. And it some how brought me back to a fresh google install. I downloaded SU from the app store and its saying im not rooted. Would i just have to install the latest SU through recovery? To be rooted? At this point I just want to be stock rooted.

For some reason when i select flash zip or ota, only folders appear without any of the zips being displayed. But when i select flash firmware package i can see all my zip files.

Hi!

First of all, many thanks for all your work Chainfire!:)

I have an LG G Flex 2 (5.1 rooted, locked bootloader)

I tried to flash Xposed and Dolby Atmos today with Flashfire but both failed.

I searched in this topic and elsewhere and found that it is very common problem that LG G Flex 2 and LG G4 users are getting, has been reported many times, but the only solution I read below these reports was to use an older version of Flashfire, mainly 0.24, that seems to work most of the times.

I haven't tested that myself yet.

That's what I get, right before my device reboots

I also tried a second time with "Auto-mount" enabled besides "Mount /system read/write", which was always enabled.

Still, same result.

The complete log file is here

http://pastebin.com/UUnupjEE

The weird thing is that LG G Flex 2 and LG G4 users report successful flashing with older versions of flashfire, 0.24 mainly

A fix would be greatly appreciated, but is there also a possibility you could put download links of previous versions on the first post?

Or at least post MD5 checksums of the apk files of the older versions?

I'd feel more confident installing a random apk file I found on the internet this way, especially one that requires root access;)

Many thanks!

Boot-loader Flashing

My apologies if this has already been covered (I was reading through the thread and got lost lol)

I appreciate that it can be dangerous to use flashfire to flash the bootloader partition and that one should use fastboot. My question is:

If I download a FW package and the bootloader has changed, what happens if I flash to the kernel, system, cache, vendor etc... and do not flash to bootloader and radio? Will the flash fail; will the phone soft brick; will nothing happen and I can go merrily along?

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I won't pretend to know exactly what's what on your particular phone, but in general, since FlashFire requires an unlocked bootloader (and root of course), you don't want to flash an updated bootloader because it'll likely be locked, and no more root (or being able to use FlashFire) at least until you figure out how to root the updated version again, or downgrade if possible in order to root/etc. It's possible the new firmware won't work without the new bootloader, though.

If you don't flash the radio/modem you might not have a signal depending on if the new firmware works with the old modem, but sometimes an updated modem requires an updated bootloader, so it's tied into the problem above.

This is a simplified explanation - there are other details that can affect things.

Someone who has the same phone as you will have to answer specifics. What phone/variant (exact model number preferred) do you have so someone with details can answer, if possible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RickDangerous:
You are both very right!

Unticking the mount system option was all that was required.

I'm sorry for repeating the same question, but for some reason the thread search function didn't come up with that post.

Many thanks for helping me out and bringing it to my attention!! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
This really belongs in your phone forum. You'll get better, more accurate answers from people who aren't guessing. Probably even faster since those threads are subscribed to by a focused group. Plus, cluttering this thread makes it very hard for people to find pertinent posts.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RLBL:
That is totally fair, my bad.. but I though this was a general flashing (using flashfire vs. manual/fastboot) question rather than device specific, which is why I posted here (thus making the post pertinent so I thought lol)

Looking through the N6 forums I saw nothing, but I will venture there with a new thread.

How to flash OTA Zips for N5X

Hi all,

I'm new to this fantastic tool and I want to give it a try. I am on a rooted N5X with TWRP, latest stock ROM and EX kernel. So when the next OTA Zip appears on https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota I just download the appropriate zip, move it to the phone and flash it with Flashfire? It will update all necessary images (system, radio, vendor, etc.) automatically and it will keep root incl. SuperSU 2.76 which I have already installed? Also, do I have to flash my custom kernel (EX) afterwards with Flashfire as well or will it survive the update process?

Thanks in advance for your answers! :)

OTA-Update July on Nexus 5x

Just tried to flashfire the latest OTA (July update) for my Nexus 5X (didn't get the update for my 6P until now).

For the first time, FlashFire was not able to install/update my Nexus - it states "system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update".

I posted the logfile here: pastebin.com/YsWyCT6T

The error handling works really fine: no harm is done and the phone still works on the old firmware.

Does anyone else have the same problem/issue with this OTA?

Thx!

Thanks so long.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skiely666:
If your system is modified you'll have to flash the corresponding unmodified system before the ota or it won't work & then EX, flashfire will keep root. Or do what I do & download the whole firmware package, flash that & then EX, all done..

I'm trying to flash the Nougat OTA on a 6P, and am getting "could not update system image" right after starting to flash. I already installed the boot/vendor/system partitions from the factory image for 6.0.1, though, so it's not that my system partition is modified... What's weird is that FlashFire doesn't even complain that OTA might fail, yet it still does.

EDIT: Never mind, I just flashed through the OTA (outside FlashFire) and it worked.

July OTA error on Nexus 6P

I have pretty much the same Issue as thal, but on my 6P.

Every time after I do the OTA through FlashFire, I keep a backup before modifying the system (Xposed, Busybox etc.) for the next coming OTA.

And as the next OTA comes, I just restore the last backup so supposedly the phone should be in the exact state after the last OTA update, and then I go for the latest OTA.

This method has been working really well up until the july security patch.

FlashFire full backup led my device to soft brick

Device:	Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100

OS:	Android KitKat v4.4.2

ROM:	Stock, rooted with SuperSU (SuperSU version July 5, 2016), no additional tweaks

Recovery:	PhilZ Touch v6.48.4. Clockworkmod v6

I installed FlashFire v0.51 (July 7, 2016) in order to perform a full NANDroid backup.

My device was unplugged from USB cable, full battery charge, no heavy parallel activity going on.

I’ve selected Full backup option and tapped FlashFire button. Backup started, some white on black text was scrolling indicating what was being backed up, then my device restarted and got stuck on booting SAMSUNG logo. Removing the battery, turning the device off and on multiple times still leads to booting SAMSUNG logo.

Current device status:

1.	Device can boot into Clockworkmod recovery, download mode, is detected by ODIN.

2.	Detected by adb devices when on boot SAMSUNG logo.

3.	I have extracted the backup created by FlashFire from my external SD card. 5.92 GB in size

4.	I have previous full NANDroid backup, update.zip ROM, EFS and modem partition etc. made with Clockworkmod recovery.

5.	My apps, contacts etc. are backed with TitaniumBackup.

Questions:

1.	What happened to my device during this full NANDroid backup process using FlashFire?

2.	What would be the least destructive way to restore my device functionality without losing all the customization, avoiding factory reset state.

3.	Is there anything I can do to help find out what happened to my device, like extracting FlashFire backup logs, etc.?

What would be adb pull command to extract the logs from /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog if possible at this device state?

I'm willing to perform additional steps in order to track down this issue, so it could be prevented in the future.

4.	Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I had a similar issue for the July update on my 5X. Even after flashing the June update to ensure that my system was untouched. I was eventually able to get the update working through Flashfire by unchecking the "Preserve my recovery" option. After that the update went fine. Hopefully that'll work for someone else too.
