Good day

In order to have a nougat rom on my device with dual boot patcher, I read that I have to upgrade my bootloader and modem, I have the one fromo lolypop, but searching the latest I found one from Italy...

Now I have the bootloader unlock, Verizon note 3, with primary rom MIUI 8, 6.0.1.

First: can I flash the new bootloader and modem trought FF?

Second: it will lock the new bootloader when I flash it?

Thanks for your help and comments

I just wanted to share the following information in case anyone was wondering "Where in the world is Chainfire"? :)

If you look at Chainfire's profile, you'll notice the following statement:

"I have retired from developing SuperSU, and am currently taking a break from devving in general"

So I'm just assuming that he may be monitoring but, not actively engaging within the Forum.

I'm just hoping that he'll be back after the holidays but, I hope that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] and his loved ones have a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAYS. He deserves it!!!

I also hope that everyone, and of course your loved ones, here has a HAPPY HOLIDAY Season!!!

Similar story - on Nexus 6P

FF will let me add either the Dec 8.0.0 OTA (along with Magisk), or the 8.1.0 OTA - but when it tries to flash, it just powers the phone off.

For anyone who's wondering: full OTA flash 8.1 worked (for me) on Nexus 5X (SuperSU, no Magisk)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcmm11:
Planning on doing this shortly. Which partitions did you flash? Did you flash data? Did you wipe data? What version where you coming from? (I'll be coming from a 7.1.2 ROM)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Vledderos:
I came from stock 8.0 November patch... so I don't know if it works coming from 7.1.2. Just performed a normal OTA flash with all defaults. Worked flawless!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Flashfire detected 8.1 OTA just fine (came in update.zip again this time) and flashed it perfectly in combination with SR5.

But now you are on old bootloader and radio.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
No I'm not. After applying the OTA I tell flashfire NOT to have SU restore the backups. That way my backups are always up to date. Besides SU doesn't backup the bootloader or the radio. It backs up the boot image. No more, no less (unless u tell it to backup recovery too).

My phone is fully up to date.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:
This seems like a common misperception lately.

Ch3vr0n is correct though, FlashFire handles bootloader and radio from both kinds of OTA zips just fine.

It's trying to flash the factory image .img files that FlashFire can only do on certain devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just curious, did you have FlashFire attempt to flash every single partition or just the basics? On the non-XL Pixel 1, running stock 8.0 November rooted with SuperSU v2.82 SR5, I was able to flash the full firmware when I enabled the option to flash the bootloader and I also had it flash every single other protected partition. Disabled EverRoot, performed a Cache wipe.

Trying to flash a zip from full Android 8.1 Final (with Magisk v14.5 build 1456), however, results in a black screen for many, many minutes so I don't think it works on 8.1 - not sure if it had on DP2 since I never tried the DPs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ffejy462:
I've gone back and forth with supersu and magisk. I believe that it's an incompatibility issue with FF and magisk. I didn't have any issues with supersu and FF, but it appears that the phone just shuts down using magisk.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skiely666:
Basics + radio but I've tried without radio too, no dice. Alot has changed in the last update to magisk so I'd say it's down to magisk. It's back to PC & fastboot till flashfire is updated..

Flash Fire Bricked Amazon 2015 5th Fire?

Have an Amazon Fire (Ford) 2015 5th, been using flash fire to flash roms. A few updates ago Flash Fire would force close while dragging my actionlist into the right order. Had a force close while ordering my flash order list , reopened flashed now my Fire won't start stuck on amazon logo. I can fastboot.exe and adb.exe but the problem is adb devices says unauthorized. So when I try to manually install stock firmware it won't let me. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

If FlashFire won't work with Magisk, maybe the following alternative called Flashify will work with Magisk?

I, personally, didn't notice this specific question asked on that thread but, it's worth asking the OP Dev this question.

I read this in hopes that it would make my headache/neck pain go away ("@Ibuprophen") but no such luck. But yeah, seriously, unfortunately, Flashify is very limited as to what it can do. If no other solution comes up/FlashFire or Magisk updated to take care of the trouble by the January 2018 update, I might try Magisk 14.2 as was suggested and see if FlashFire is indeed fully functional for me. It's so nice to be able to do every single thing from the phone alone and from within running Android/only stock recovery.

Thanks anyway!

UI crash parsing Android 8.1.0 OTA - with workaround

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joehillen:
Welp, I must be unlucky then because I flashed the factory image including the modem firmware and it's bootlooping.

Not sure what I should try next other than full wipe and restore from backup.

Edit: I followed a guide called "Applying a Rescue OTA to a Nexus 6P.pdf" to recover (I tried to post the link, but the forum won't let me.) and after 5 minutes it finally finished booting!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcmm11:
Your mistake (probably - without knowing exactly what options you chose etc this is guesswork to a large extent) was in choosing a factory image rather than a full ota. I suspect you told FlashFire to restore something it shouldn't have. Ota's are safer in that regard (eg new bootloader via ota is ok. Via factory image may well cause problems)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joehillen:
That was my guess as well. I've never been able to apply an OTA because it says my partitions are modified. I suspect that's because I use AdAway and it modifies /etc/hosts. I've always used factory images, and the only times it goes wrong is when I update the modem firmware. Since this was a major release, I figured I was overdue for a radio update.

I'll try to use OTA (if possible) from now on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
This error is common when you try to apply an (incremental) OTA on a modified system. But a full OTA should install normally

Stupid question but didn't see an answer after searching..

Is there a easy way to restore a full FlashFire backup- from factory recovery for example

instead of having to get backup and running, install FlashFire , then restore?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
The incremental OTA contains only the modified code that will be applied to the current system, it is the type of OTA that you download by the notification. The full OTA contains the entire Android system and can usually be installed even over custom roms (but do not forget the wipe data). You can download by the following link:

https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Restore by stock recovery? Impossible. But as described in the documentation, it is possible through TWRP:

I think Chainfire forgot to add in the documentation, but the boot partition (probably) will also be restored

I'm pretty sure that screen rotation uses the accelerometer. Gyroscope is to know where you are "pointing" as needed in 360° videos
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Can anyone confirm that? I don't do much 360 so if that's the case it's not an issue. In the mean time I'm trying out elementalX kernel to see if it fixes my rotation issues (or rather not rotating until I either reboot or force it by laughing an app that forces a certain rotation).

samsung galaxy s4 I545VRUGOF1 flashfire not rebooting

Hello, I have a rooted s4 with the bootlocked I545VRUGOF1 . I installed busybox and flashfire 0.73. I am trying to flash a deodexed (link to rom) debloated rom however after booting it goes through some kind of extraction and says Loading.. Then it just goes blank with the blue LED on. I see from other videos that we should get a flashfire splash screen after this step, but that does not happen. Then I would need to remove the battery and it just boots normally. What am I doing wrong any hints.

I would recommend that questions like this should be first asked within the thread in question so other members who may know the answer can help provide you with some guidance and will also help others with the same question from that thread too.

Besides that, the reason for what you're experiencing is because the last version of FlashFire that works on the I545 with the locked Bootloader (ie... OC1 & OF1) is v0.53.

The following post on another thread will help you with obtaining FlashFire v0.53.

I'll try in a few to see if I can get it to attempt a backup to create the folder. Someone reported that Magisk 14.2 worked with FlashFire, even under 8.1, but I haven't tried 14.2, just 14.5. As far as a FlashFire version # that was compatible with Magisk, I never used Magisk until 8.1 so someone else might have to answer that, if just changing your Magisk version to 14.2 doesn't help.

Good luck!

No pixel. As my signature states N6p running STOCK android (8.1). The last FF compatible version was 14.5 I think but the magisk topic no longer has it. Updated to 14.6.

In that case, here's the Magisk v14.5 build 1456, which is what I used on my Pixel on 8.1 Final. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291696799.

Or you can use them to compare the MD5s to each other to make sure I didn't modify it. :)

I'll be very interested to hear if it does work with FlashFire just fine on the Nexus 6 on 8.1 Final, since it didn't work on the Pixel on 8.1 Final. Of course, you can try flashing the 8.0 firmware first if necessary. For that matter, you could flash the last stock 8.0 along with SuperSU v2.84 SR5 and then - again on the Pixel, it definitely worked for me 100% even to upgrade to 8.1, so hopefully restoring a backup would be fine, too on the Nexus 6.

14.5 aint working either. But a rather lengthy (google) search did yield me 14.2 which succesfully completed a backup of the boot image. Now let's hope i can restore my last backup (OPR5), then update to 8.1 again and reroot with magisk i suppose *wish me luck*. Though i hope CCMT picks up the slack on SuperSU fast, i'd rather use that

I Google'd all I could for 14.2 but couldn't find it, and I searched the Magisk Beta thread for 14.2 like I did for 14.5 as well, but no luck yet. I would recommend asking in the Magisk Beta thread if anyone can upload 14.2 somewhere.

You also have my blessing to ask in my thread https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74857740&postcount=59 because a user mentioned having tried 14.2 (to solve a different problem).

Well it took me a couple hours but current status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Eventually managed to restore a backup through 14.2 Magisk + FF (backup still had SuperSU), so when i restored boot image i also had SU back (though was from OPR5 and not OPM1). Then flashed a FULL ota to OPM1 and took the gamble with SR5. And it worked. Running 8.1 again WITH SR5 installed and operational. Thanks for the assistance :)

Everything back in working order. Now if only that MX Player problem would be fixed too :p
