Yeah I have utilized FlashFire so much since I got the pixel xl and I can't tell you [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] how flashfire has successfully succeeded other ways of doing"tasks" since the a/b partition layout has been released to the public. Flashfire is always the 1st app installed on my device. Thank you so much for all your time and efforts. I think I'm speaking for many people here on XDA and beyond. You take it(your_mind) to the deepest parts of outer space and then you always find a way to hitch a ride back to us earthlings and share some of your awesome findings and discoveries(all_your_updates).

I love this tool. But since well before the 7.1.1 update, FlashFire has not been able to detect the small OTA file the phone automatically downloads, and I have to manually download the OTA image from Google's site for each security patch. Is there a way to get it to detect the phone's downloaded OTA file?

Or, if I have a root browser, where can I find such a file (Nexus 6P)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ja_som:
It was mentioned in this thread, also how to find it...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MultiKoopa:
Is it "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_Download"? Is that still the directory in 7.1.1? Or is it "/data/user/O/com.google.android.gms/app_download/"? I can't check myself, since I already flashed the OTA image from Google's website, which should have deleted the file.

Also, is there any way to get FlashFire to detect the file on its own anymore? Can't find that answer through search.

Hello, first I apologize for the randomness of everything I'm going to talk about and the lack of connection between them.

Again reporting that it is still not working on my device, attached logs. Also I tried to make an adb backup and I took advantage to take a logcat with the command below, I hope it is of help:

while true; do adb wait-for-device logcat -v long >> /home/matheus/FlashModenotStartingLogcat.txt; done

In the mobile version of the site (here in the latest version of Chrome Dev) does not appear for which version has been updated, but with the option "Desktop version" active, yes.

I would suggest that the back button (from Android, physical or virtual) just make FlashFire go back to the previous activity, or at least that the arrow at the top of the activity do this, because it's kind of annoying to always end up going back to the home screen.

Another suggestion is to FlashFire work with sandbox by copying the partitions to a own folder before making any changes. So we will have more security that we will not end with a bootloop or brick since all the action would be done with booted Android and with a detailed log, enabling us to see if there any errors and canceling the actual update operation of the partitions (with Android turned off and dd commands). I know this will take a lot of time to develop but even then I think it would be a great resource.

And I also wanted to ask you to take into consideration my request to run the recovery installation script, it is in my previous linked post. Thanks for the time and great work.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I have a 100% reproduceable app crash of 0.55. at least for me.

FlashFire seems to detect an OTA that doesn't exist. After uncrypting it tries to generate actions, then crashes.

As you will see from the image attached the OTA downloaded location is empty and there is no OTA stored anywhere on the device that I know off. Syslog app logs attached immediately after generating an app crash.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/588a2d0f19843/2017-01-26_18.03.zip

Try manually removing /cache/recovery folder.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Can't. /Cache/recovery is located under /system. Deleting that would modify system and void ota's. I'd have to reflash system which would probably just recreate the folder and issue.

Unless there's another /cache I'm not aware of. As with the SuperSU issue you couldn't replicate/narrow down. I'd be happy to create a twrp nandroid and send over the link via pm.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Well on mine it is, unless there's another cache folder. With root access to /system I can access /cache (without root access denied) which contains a folder 'recovery' with 4 files. 'block.map','last_locale','last_log' and 'uncrypt.file'.

You want the nandroid?

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] still not able to complete a fastboot flashable backup on my 6p, 7.1.1 stock rooted. FF freezes while scanning data, but works just fine up to that point. No issues completing a backup with Twrp so I don't believe it's a bad partition. Any advice? Thank you in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashyx:
You need root to access the cache partition, that doesn't mean it's located on the system partition.

It's obviously not as you've already posted its on its own partition under /cache not /system/cache

It would not make any sense for it to located on the system partition as cache is often used by the OS or recovery and as you so rightly pointed out that would mean the system partition would get modified.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] masri1987:
how's flashfire with aroma zips?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Well I am rooted, or I wouldn't be able to use flashfire now would I? Anyway I was able to do it after some more looking around in FX.

In case anyone has similar problems like me.

In FX file explorer I did the following

1. Accessed tapped the 'system (root button'

2. Tapped the 3 dots top right and clicked 'filesystems'

3. The different partitions will now be listed including 'cache'

4. Tap 'cache' and click the button 'root tools'

5. Tap 'open as root'

6. Delete the 'recovery' folder

Flashfire will now open fine.

Just for 'fun' I then checked /system/cache and the 'offending' folder was no longer present there either! So I was LOOKING at the right folder in a way, I just wasn't accessing it the right way to delete the folder.

So while it may not make sense to be there, that is how it's done on apparently on (my) 6p. System has remained 'read only' after removing of the folder.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ashyx:
Maybe you should use an alternative root file explorer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
FX provides read access to the system root without super user permissions named "system." You must be confusing this with real system partition.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
And I clearly said I tapped the icon with system (root). I have the normal system icon hidden. I don't need to swap to an alternative anything.

As I said, I was able to do it. My steps listed are the ones I took to do it, and posted to potentially help others.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skiely666:
I upgraded to v0.55 & because v0.53 worked perfectly I assumed that v0.53 auto detected the system so I changed the new setting in v0.55 to auto detect, wiped cache and dalvick & when my phone booted up I got incorrect pin, I was locked out of my phone. Had to wipe & start again. I never got any logs sorry & please no "should have backed up" I'm on stock recovery & I'm just reporting what happened to me & if I did something wrong it'd be great if you could tell me. Also if someone could explain in "dumb ass" terms how the backup system & restore works in flashfire, it's not very clear?

I've gone back to v0.53 because it works perfectly.

Thanks very much..

I updated to 0.55 and when I started it, it found the January OTA. While uncrypting it, Flashfire crashed at 22%.

I have a Nexus 5X with stock ROM and ElementalX kernel installed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'll try to reproduce this.

EDIT: Do you know if you were using file-based encryption or full disk encryption or no encryption at all when this happened ?

Had you already flashed the January OTA before? I'm asking because it seems some users are finding left-over OTA pieces that causes this crash.

If you can provide a logcat of the crash, that would be very helpful.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] godless.prayer:
I'm still on december patch level. I deleted the cache/recovery folder as you told Ch3vr0n and now Flashfire doesn't find the OTA anymore on start.

Fastboot backup

Hi!

When FlashFire starts scanning Data partition it seems it's stopped, freezed. You could add an option to display the details of the process, such as the full path of the file what is under scanning/backing up. It could be even better if you add a battery indicator and a clock to the backup screen.

The last 3 versions since v.53 and up on Galaxy S6 do not restore "Internal Storage" anymore. It gives an error and the only way to properly restore everything is by doing an initial Full restore than go back again and restore just Internal storage, data and system so all the notifications, images etc, get loaded properly.
