MOAR 5.1 with FF: Note5

Question: Before I flash to MOAR 6.0 [S'MOAR], I'm trying to nandroid my phone to a 64GB usb flash drive attached as otg on my Note5. [ BTW, I'm using: DECEC® Harrier Cable Portable USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B Data and OTG Cable USB Charge Cable available on Amazon ] When i go into FF to set the location of the backup, it does not appear as though my usb flash is showing up. FF shows "Internal" and "ADB". [I don't have enough space on Internal, hence the desire to back it up to flash. The flash drive does show up in file explorer when you plug it into the phone. Should FF "see" the flash drive? It is formatted FAT. Should it be formatted otherwise? Any help, deeply appreciated. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
Have you tried using ChainFire's StickMount to see if the drive is then found within FF?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mediatech1:
No, but I will now! Seems like the app is focused on Nexus, but I'll give it a shot. I have a Note5. Will also try "ADB" as a location to my laptop.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
If it does, please report back as it might help others :) If you still have issues, I've not used it but maybe ChainFire's USB Host Diagnostics would help sort it out.

I'm currently doing a wifi backup, which in hindsight was probably not the best idea, is there any way to cancel the back up both on adb and on the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Probably only by forcing your phone off, taking battery out, holding power button in long enough...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] booroondook:
There is no scrolling in Actions list, so some upper buttons are not available on devices with landscape-only screens with low resolution.

For example: screenshot from the Car Media System (screen size is 6,2", resolution is 800x480, density is 240). As you can see, only two lower buttons are available: "flash ZIP or OTA" and "Wipe". Rest of buttons is hidden and not available. And it is not possible to scroll or any another way to access these buttons.

How can I be sure that my adb backup is going via usb rather than wifi? I don't see an option to choose one or the other.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Unless you went out of your way to setup adb over wifi (tcpip commands etc) it is by usb!

I posted a link to how it is done in this thread a good few pages back.

Hello,

why it is not possible to downgrade from FF 0.52 -> 0.50? What can I do?

On my Samsung S7 there worked 0.5 perfect. With 0.51 the backup failed because of mounting problems at full backup. With 0.52 there is a problem at restore.

Please help, I would like to restore my phone.

Thank you,

Thomas

Hi [MENTION=5878638]arboeh[/MENTION] . Could you please in the future put such long texts in [ C O D E ] [ / C O D E ] boxes (without spaces of course) instead of [ Q U O T E ] boxes?

Now that everything had been reinstalled I tried to do a backup with FF 0.52.

After start something happened but again without the rolling script log . Than Android booted normally but FF told me: there no root installed. But in fact it is.

So I tried to delete Cache and then data of FF. No change.

After uninstall and reinstall FF worked again and found a backup! But it contained only Boot and system image but no data.:(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mediatech1:
Hi, here's what I've discovered. When I connected to my Win7 laptop ADB in FF storage location, did not, allow it to see any of the PC volumes. However, I'm happy to report that installing Stick Mount NOW allows my Note5 to see my usb-otg flash drive from within Flashfire! I was able to perform a full backup and now I will proceed to moving on to the MOAR MM ROM. I'm hoping that if that does not go well I can boot into TWRP and restore my FF nandroid backup.

Password protected encrypted backups and backup to network targets

First of all, thanks [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for this amazing app. It seems to be the only app that is capable of doing live backups of Android devices with adopted storage.

Two features that I would love to see and which I think are not possible at this moment: Create password protected encrypted backups (as in TWRP) and network backup targets, so that one can backup to a NAS, cloud storage etc.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]: Do you think this could be implemented in the foreseeable future? I just figured that 6 weeks ago in #3575 you said that encrypted backups were high on your to-do list. Is this list publicly visible somewhere or do you have some kind of roadmap for us?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KarmenJell:
Does anyone know if it is possible to flash the xposed framework using flashfire on an xperia m4 aqua. The bootloader is locked but I have rooted the phone using this method.

I tried to flash the xposed framework using flashfire but I get a black screen for ages. I left it running overnight in case it needs a long time to finish but the battery was dead in the morning. It was charged to 80% the night before so I'm not sure why it died. I turned it on and nothing had changed.

I know sony devices aren't supported at the moment but has anyone else tried this with any similar devices? If not, does anyone know a different way of installing xposed with a locked bootloader?

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I can upload the log when I get home if you want to have a look.

Thanks for your help!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Encrypted backups remain one of the highest points on my list, as are network (CIFS based) backups.

Unfortunately, ODIN backups have destroyed about two months of my development time, to ultimately still not being implemented, due to the S7 bootloader randomly messing up restores. Black screen issues and mount issues have been taking up (way too much) time as well.

FlashFire is a very tricky app to build, and maintenance/debugging is extremely time consuming. While I did expect it to be a tough app in that area, I still pretty strongly underestimated it. And I have many other apps that need love as well.

Unfortunately that all comes down to that new features make their way into the app slower than planned. But what else is new :)

And I'm also going on vacation for about a month, so...

Don't work in Samsung Galaxy S5 G900f when I make a backup the phone shut down put the screen I loading, load everything and after that nothing only black screen and don't turn on again
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aros1975:
I confirm. For Samsung Galaxy S5 Dual SIM (G900FD) is going the same way.

When you take a backup first appears black screen with lots of messages. Next, after the second black screen, phone does not get up. The only way to run it is to remove the battery for a moment.

v0.12 has been pushed to Play. It will take a few hours to show up for you. This should fix the issue with the S5 family. It also places a twrp.zip in the backup folder so you can restore (the most important partitions only) from twrp (by 'installing' the zip) in case of emergency (bad flash).

I have a firmware file downloaded from SAMMOBILE called G900FDXXU1BOC1_G900FDOXE1BOC1_SER.zip

Inside zip archive I can see tar.md5 file.

Which option should I use to upgrade my Android from 4.4.2 to 5.0 (with rooting by everroot) using above file?

- It should be "Flash firmware package" or "Flash ZIP or OTA"?

Should I unpack G900FDXXU1BOC1_G900FDOXE1BOC1_SER.zip file before upgrade?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wajiman:
just a small question, do you know whether this will trigger knox as flashing with mobile odin did not trigger knox?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zabumba:
For Mobile odin and FlashFire to function root is needed, so knox will be triped.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fubo73:
False. MOP/FF need root and root can be obtained without tripping knox, please inform.

The question is which operations with FF would trip knox and which will not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
No unpack needed. Use "Flash firmware package".

If Mobile ODIN didn't trip Knox flashing stock firmwares on your device, then neither will FlashFire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ChelseaHansa:
You are awesome. Thanks for your fantastic work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ginger-Nutz:

Samsung Galaxy S5 DualSIM G900FD: system upgrade to Lollipop with success!

I made the system upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.0 successfully (G900FDXXU1BOC1_G900FDOXE1BOC1_SER.zip). I used an option "Flash firmware package".

First I created a new archive with protected partitions. Archive was stored in file flasfire_000.tar.md5 with items inside:

- Primary Bootloader,

- Secondary Bootloader,

- Secondary Bootloader AP,

- TrustZon,

- DBI/SDI,

- Modem Firmware,

- Firmware.

After that FlashFire upgraded my Android to 5.0 with informations about some errors but I can't find sdcard/FlashFire directory for paste here errors log.

I had to reset phone manually removing the battery, because automatic reset was suspended. Android 5.0 started up. Knox 0x0. I have a root rights.

Thank you Chainfire for all your great work you do and especially for making this amazing app. So I was able to use FlashFire 0.15 on two devices:

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (T-320), I used FlashFire to update and keep root my rooted OS 4.4.2 T320UEU1ANK1 to 4.4.2 T320UEU1AOC1 by using the update file on sammobile website and everything worked like a charm.

2. Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337), I upgraded form 4.4.4 NJ4 to Lollipop 5.0.1 OC3 by using muniz_ri method and also everything worked great, however when i try to flash any zip or .tr files by either Flash ZIP or OTA option and Flash Firmware package option the app force closes , I know that some other members reported about it but i just wanted to give you my feedback. :)

I used FlashFire version 0.52 to flash stock Samsung package (G935FXXU1APGF_G935FITV1APE2_ITV.zip) on my Galaxy S7 edge (G935F). The process completed without errors but now my phone only boot in recovery mode (stock).

I tried to boot many times, then i powered off phone and booted in Odin mode and flashed TWRP recovery, now boots in TWRP recovery only...

Can I solve without losing my data? :rolleyes::crying:

Hi, been out of the samsung game for a while now...

some questions, will be glad if someone can clear this out...

Im on SGS7 g930f rooted on latest stock rom.

My binary status shows as custom, what does that mean? is that okay?

System status is official, is that okay as well?

Im interested in reflashing the stock ROM can I do that in my case as far as you can tell?

btw SElinux is enforcing, on a previous phone that was a problem is it a thing on the S7?

also when booting am I supposed to have a red comment on the top left of the screen reading also something about enforcing,

cant remember exactly as its gone now after I did a factory reset via settings and then flashed TWRP via odin (but titanium backup will not restore apps, might be the binary thing?)

sorry if im going off topic a bit, its just that one thing seems to be related to the other and I just wanna start fresh while keeping root with flashfire, Ive been doing my best to research,

but its getting to be confusing what with the binary status and FRP and triangle away etc.... so any help clarification or whatever would help a lot!
