FlashFIre .19 is still a no go on my S6. I have tried to do a backup and also a clear cache operation. When I click on the Flash lightning bolt, the screen shows a a red circle and the word loading, then the screen goes black as is normal, but that's it. The device never reboots and performs the operation no matter how long I wait. If I press the home button the screen comes back on and the device is still in operational mode.

We need to be patient and allow [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] to provide us with the fix I'm sure he won't leave us hanging
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
We still need to make sure he is aware of the issues. That is what this thread is for.

personally, the md5 check didnt bother me one bit (the speed on v.18)... id rather have it working lol

i know it wasnt intended but he commented it might cause problems on 64 bit but still pushed it out lol

oh well, i guess im forced a much needed break from flashing and playing with roms lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
[MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] agreed and as I said before [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] is aware by now and I'm sure working on a fix.

I was, however, right in the middle of testing so it is inconvenient but will be working soon for us S6 people soon enough and well worth it.

Uploaded a new version, should fix the 64-bit issue. And possibly the backlight issue reported by some. Additionally the disclaimer screen no longer shows up every time you open the app.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flix77:
Thanks for the update to V19 of FlashFire.

However I'm experiencing an app crash immediately after the step "scanning archive" after adding the action "Flash firmware package".

The scanning itself finishes completely. I can see 100%, but then Flashfire just crashes.

I'm using it on a Sasmung S5 and trying to update _alexndr 's Rom to the new version G900FXXU1BOE5_DevBase_alexndr.zip.

The crash of FlashFire was also seen with the earlier version of FlashFire and another earlier version of _alexndr 's ROM.

Unfortunately there is no log file in the Flashfire directory after this crash.

A full backup of FlashFire worked perfect without any issues.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

G920F

thanks for effort first of all..

tried this app on my g920FXXU1AOBN 5.0.2 and it hangs on blackscreen as well and i don't have a log file in sdcard.

i tired flashing an img i dumped from phone and out of 3 attempts last one headed to a bootloop using a different img name from previous but i am not sure that was the reason of bootloop since also old were recognized.. for first 2 tests i was using a dump made running make_ext4fs binary to an img.ext4 file for first 2 attempts, then i realized that maybe .img plain was the correct for exinos .. my bad but the files were anyway recognized even if they were created with different extension.

so in then end i tried as you suggested to make an "id" backup and unfortunately it hanged on blackscreen as well..

one thing i noticed looking at the /data/data/flashfire/files/actions file is that the partition size i got from the terminal using "devblock --getsize64 /dev/ecc ecc " and the size of byte out from a "dd" of system partition differ from the size i've seen in your above mentioned file in /data/data that is the one that has been used for flashing i think..

feel free to ask me anything you need, i'll gladly provide :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
While I applaud your heroic effort to brick your new S6, this is a completely new device on a SoC I'm not overly familiar with. I expect quite some code will need to be adapted. My own S6 should be in-hand in a few days, I'll take this up then.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _alexndr:
Strange, it stuck at black screen in my case, will try again tomorrow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The reason I have asked black-screeners to try multiple times is that the black screen may not be an issue that happens every single time. In some cases, they are more likely when the device is freshly booted up. In other cases they happen always. Needs more testing (and logging!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] twobats1:
Ran ID, full backup on SGS3, d2att. No problems, looks good!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
v0.14 fixed the black screen issue on the SM-G900K. I was able to run a custom backup, everything except data, system, and cache. Worked great. I was rooted with the ND3 kernel flashed on the NI2 version of 4.4.2 and towelrooted. As a quick repeat. v0.11 stopped at 2nd black screen, v0.12 worked to backup but had err on some files, I think it was in the system backup process of the backup, v0.13 showed loading went black and never came back up. v0.14 works great seems like 1st black screen may be a tad longer than it was in v0.11 and v0.12 but it loads, does its backup and reboots. After a few backup tests, I flashed BOB1. If course 5.0 had to go through it's regiment of crashimg and force closing and reinstalling apps, which were no fault of any Chainfire app( Superuser 2.46 pro, Flashfire v0.14 pro) but eventually it became smooth running. After it smoothed out I ran the ID/EFS backup. No issues on 5.0(0B1). I know the long explanations are necessary in the beta stage, but long story short, v0.14 has been a success all the way around in the Korean S5 SM-G900K. Great work as always Chainfire. I will also continue testing and posting each additional version as well. Thanks

I'm having issues with stock ROM (OE3) from S6 (g920f). It keeps enumerating partitions on startup forever.

Tried to erase data from app and reinstall, but didn't work.

Previously I was able to make backups (I'm aware about de md5 issue), but today the app closed as soon as I tried to open it and I saw the update. I installed the update from google play but now I'm stuck at the "enumerating partitions" animation.

If u need some more data, I'll try to bring it as soon as possible.

running Xtresolite rom

When flashing stock firmware(G900W8VLU1BOC1_G900W8OYA1BOC1_RWC) using the recommended method of creating a flashable package containing the protected partitions, the created pkg returns an error when i add it to Odin v9.

Forgive me if this has been answered but I couldn't find it anywhere. Same thing is happening to me. I've tried on the internal sd and external sd and flashfire does not see the rom.zip. It does see other zip files just not the rom. I'm trying to flash I545_OC1_Stock_Rooted_ROMwNK4_BL using v .20 (tried 18 and 19 before that).

edit: I guess I figured it out (sort of). I deleted the other zip file from my internal storage and now it shows. Never could get it show on external. Attempting flash now.

This worked perfect (after the initial hiccup). I was on rooted S4 4.4.2 nk1 and updated to rooted stock 5.0.1. Seems all data is intact as well!

Ah I see. Thanks for the info. My problem then is that on my s6....I don't have unencrypted partition that I can use because the data partition is encrypted and I don't have a SD card slot. I guess flash fire won't work in that case.

Following up on my earlier post, it appears that the MD5 issue is only with archive created from existing archives.

I tried flashing Lollipop BOD3 Alexandr ROM using FireFlash v.20 on my Galaxy S5 SM-G900F and it failed.

I was on a fully functional (7-8 months) Android 4.4.2 ANE2 firmware rooted with Towelroot. Everything worked ok during flash until the very end when the phone reboots itself. Then it was stuck on boot ( image with Galaxy S5 Powered by Android).

So I have two questions:

1. Is it necessary to upgrade first to a ANG fimware (and of course do the kernel dance: install ANE2 kernel, root, install ANG kernel) before using FireFlash to flash a Lollipop firmware?

2. Is it necessary to factory reset/wipe all before using FireFlash?

Thank's

You need "options.prop" to flash BOE5 DevBase by [MENTION=1262300]alexndr[/MENTION] using FlashFire ;)

Download it from here:

Put this file + G900FXXU1BOE5_DevBase_alexndr.zip in the root of your internal sdcatd.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kilokk:
I'm not sure of all the steps you performed first, but I would have 1. added a backup, 2. added a wipe, 3. added flash zip or OTA and then set reboot to normal.

Yes, you should have had a wipe command before flashing the new ROM.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] raducanmihai:
Between that moment when I posted and now... well I screwed up (again).

What I did in the last few hours (since my last post): I was on a fully functional 4.4.2 ANE2 firmware (rooted with Towelroot, Knox 0x0). I flashed Alexandr BOD3 firmware using FlashFire v.20, I rebooted in download mode and installed 5.0 BOD3 bootloader and BOD3 modem using Odin PC. Phone rebooted but was stuck in boot. I reinstalled 4.4.2 ANE2 stock firmware, ANE2 bootloader and modem, all with Odin PC. Still no luck, phone stuck in boot.

I downloaded a stock BOD3 and installed it via Odin and finally it worked. Now I have a stock 5.0 BOD3 firmware, unrooted of course. :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gordonlw:
I tried that as well. Both on my internal and external sd. The only thing that worked for me was to delete the other zip from my internal card and then place the rom.zip on the root of internal sd. Never could get it to show on the external for whatever reason. I'm no expert and maybe it was a coincidence but that's what worked for me.

Hello, I want to know if the way I want to use this tool is the intended one, I rooted my phone with Ping Pong without tripping KNOX counter and now I want to use Flashfire to flash this ROM but the statment on the first post of the author says that it requires a Custom Recovery and he recommends TWRP.

Somewhat new to this

A few months back I rooted my Galaxy s5 to use viper4android. Man do I love that app. I recently read that v4a would work on lollipop so I used flash fire to get lollipop and keep root. It worked great, everything is running smooth. Except v4a, which blows. Can I use flash fire to go back to kit Kat and still keep root?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kilokk:
SEKernel Enforcing will not allow V4A to work. Need to have Kernel Permissive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PIRATA!:
If i'd like to install it on other device, should I request again link or just select other device in Play Store?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kilokk:
If you made a back up with titanium or what ever back up tool you use, you should be able to restore the app. Otherwise, all you would need to do is return to the beta tester page for the download.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ToneB210:
Exactly. But from everything I've read, nobody can get it to work on galaxy s5 with lollipop. One guy even had a custom rom (twisted rom) that had permissive kernal. V4a Still wouldn't work. Selinux mode changer also does nothing on my phone. So I think the only way I can get v4a to work is to revert back to kit kat. Just trying to see if it's as easy as it was to get lollipop. Same procedure???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
Yes, you can even flash it straight from a full rom. Uncheck everything and then check only modem firmware.

---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

I did. Went from OB1 back to KK using FF. Had to do a reset but all was well. Now I'm on 0D3 with FF also, still 0x0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ToneB210:
ok. You a little more advanced than me. Lol. So what do you mean you had to reset? As in factory reset? Do you mind telling me your process so I can do it. Sorry, I'm still learning.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kilokk:
I've actually had it on almost all of the Lollipop ROMS I've used including Twisted, that's what I'm using on v7 right now and when I switch back and forth with other ROMs I'm using.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ToneB210:
I wish it worked on my phone. I don't want to get to off topic. But bottom line it won't work on at&t gs5 on lollipop. I've searched many forums and threads. I even made v4a a system app. Still a no go. Until somebody figures a work around or a new compatible v4a update comes out, I believe my only option is to revert back to kit kat. I just need to figure out how to do that with FF and then I'll be golden.
