[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], after some research, I found the file"/ proc/dumchar_info" that contains information on partitions, so I believe that if the FlashFire read this file, can work with devices" by-num", right? Some are valid as "android" (system), but several other partitions are in the same way, the only thing that differs is the memory address, but considering that the FlashFire can work with RAW files, you can set at him to flash only in memory address corresponds, right? Below is the file taken out of a MT6592

FF 0.30, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - T715, FF generated incomplete flashfire_0000.tar.md5. I flashed T715XXU2APB2_T715DBT2AOJ1_T715XXU2APB2_HOME.tar.md5 and decided to flash modem+boot with Odin.

I'm a professional (italian) translator for many freeware/shareware software (like Filezilla/Avant browser/DVDDFab/Slyfosft program/etc)-

I want to help you translating flashfire in Italian.

The current Italian translation is very short and not include all strings available in master English language.

How can help you?

Is there a translation repository?

Could you please include this info in first post? Thanks.

Using Flashfire to install SlimLP on a Amazon Fire 7 2015

I'm trying to install SlimLP via FlashFire .30 and I appear to be stuck in the installation process. In Flashfire I chose Wipe, then install OTA of Slim 5.1 with automount on, but did not check "Mount System Read/Write". Then install Mini GApps with automount on and left "Mount System Read/Write" checked by default. I made sure to move the Wipe function up on top of the two installs.

I started the process and Flashfire went black for while, then came up and said "Wiping..." Then "Installing [/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/SlimLP Files/Slim-ford-5.1.1.layers....]" but it's appears to be frozen with this on the screen. It's not changed for 15 minutes or more. How long does this usually take? I was expecting it to be faster since the rom size is so small.

I'm hesitant to try and button combinations as I worry that since it wiped, that I may be bricked and stuck without an OS properly installed. I can wait it out a while longer but I wanted to check in here and see if anyone had an advice.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Do not enable auto mount for OTA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaladhjin:
Nope I've seen it work.

Just makes me worry every time to see the seemingly dead black screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chewieez:
Thanks for the response. However, all the instructions, including RootJunkys videos, on how to install via FlashFire mention to click "Auto Mount".

At this point I believe I'm hosed. I cannot boot into Recovery and I am/was on 5.1.1 firmware so I don't think there is a fix. I am within my Amazon warranty so it looks like I'll be returning this one and getting a new one. Unless someone knows another option.

Thanks!

Anyone else having trouble installing open gapps with flashfire 0.30? I'm running CM 12.1 on a Amazon Fire. It just hangs on checking system...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ipdev:
Same thing just now with rr. Locked up for about 25 mins. I was able to get into fastboot (power and the vol up key? - the one closer to the power button.) Plugged it in ran fastboot getvar product, getvar all and continue. (Other commands didn't work) I was surprised to see it boot into resurection. Rom installed but no usable su or gapps were installed.

Haven't found a opengapps package that .30 will install. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall older version of gapps and ff (.27) but su errors kill it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Zoandroid:
Actually, a black screen often means nothing at all is happening, as in "frozen" instead of doing something. I definitely sympathize. It is a pet peeve of mine, especially in Windows, when programs show no activity of any kind when they are supposed to be, for example, installing something. Even having a dot move across the black screen shows some sign of life, which is better than guessing, IMO. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
How were you not able to capture logs? They're saved to /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog automatically.

Parsing this is not high on my priority list for the moment, as this is wholly non-standard. Maybe some day, though.

Thanks, this appears to be a structural issue. Partitions that are not accessible by FlashFire at all (instead of just protected, the sboot partition isn't even visible even to root apps) weren't show in the dialog to create that tar file. This is fixed in the upcoming version.

There is not a translation repository yet, this will come when we're closer to release. There is no Italian translation at all, even. If you see anything in Italian then that is an automatic translation done by Google and/or Android.

I never do Dutch versions of my apps because my written Dutch is terrible. I haven't really written anything more than a short note Dutch for about 15 years, and I never use Dutch software, so both my spelling and my choice of words will be cringe worthy :)

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about the black screen. It shouldn't be more than a few seconds, though - it gets shorter almost every release.

Even if you already had root on lollipop on the g920v, you can't use FlashFire to install rooted marshmallow as there is no known way to root marshmallow without a custom boot image, which you can't do on a locked bootloader.

Which exact device model is this? Were you running SlimLP and updating it, or first time installing it?

Is there no stock firmware to restore this device to via fastboot or whatnot?

Please link me to the exact package you are installing, and post /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog (to pastebin.com or something like that)

Please post /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog (pastebin.com)

There is no way around this.

I'm sorry, I should have added my device in my initial post. I am using the Kindle Fire 7" 5th Gen. I was rooted and I was trying to install SlimLP for the first time. From all I've read, the bootloader is locked down and sometimes something strange happens during a rom install and the recovery gets borked and then there is no way to get into recovery. I can get Fastboot to work, but I can't get into Recovery at all and I cannot use ADB.

Mine seemed to freeze right when it started installing SlimLP files. I just checked my SD card and I do not see any logs generated. I just have a FlashFire folder that contains 2 backups that I performed prior to the Rom flash.

I have been using .27 primarily - Fire OS 5.1.1 and newer, FlashFire is our only option.

But I've been trying to recreate it, & I think I just did. My last install has stalled for about 30 mins. (This attempt is rom & SuperSU-v2.65)

Sorry, FlashFire does not support x86 at this time.

After a lot of searching (there goes my day!), I found a kernel issue present in many 5.1 firmwares that may be the cause of one or all of these issues. I was able to replicate some of these problems on CM12.1 with OpenGApps on a Nexus5. I don't have the new Amazon devices, so I cannot test on that.

Please go to FlashFire settings, and

un

check the "Emulate Framebuffer" option under the "AROMA" heading. This feature can trigger the kernel bug, which causes the installer processes to semi-randomly crash. Let me know if this solves your issue or not!

What is in your /system/addon.d folder? I think there's a script there called by backuptool that causes this failure. If you can, zip up that folder and attach it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Chainfire recommended enabling, so it probably is safe.

The question is why are you trying to remove xposed. If it is to try and accept an OTA, you have modified your system so that would fail.

Flashfire is beta software, so I hope you know how to restore your device (using Factory images/rom) if something goes wrong.

You can't install OTA when you use Xposed (or any other way to edit system partition), download factory image and reflash it. Next time, download factory image to N5, open it in FlashFire, select system.img and boot.img, add Xposed, you can also add latest version of SuperSU, or let FlashFire root your device with included version of SuperSU.

I used FlashFire this way to update my devices without any issue.
