FlashFire neither depends on nor loads any existing custom recovery. Whether a particular ZIP will work as intended depends on what that file is/does. The example you give is merely a simple sequence of Edify (the update-binary language) "delete" commands and doesn't really flash/install anything. it doesn't seem to be the sort of thing FlashFire is designed for, but you can certainly try (and report your findings here!). That said, it might be just as convenient to simply delete the files from the Terminal prompt as long as you have a rooted device.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

Please, I flash Cerberus application zip with Flashfire

Flash zip or OTA > I open my zip Application > I tick Auto-mount (Mount common paths(read/write) before running update. Not usually necessary. Disable for OTAs)

I have tick on : Flash zip or OTA cerberus_disguised-4.4.zip: Auto-mount

Untick on: EverRoot (EverRoot disabled)

Tick on Reboot Normal

I see good procedure flashing , but after reboot, I should have an icon "system framwork" in the menu or in applications manager....but there is nothing.....I repeat the flash unticking Auto-mount, neither: no icon in menu neither in applications manager

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but there is nothing to see.

This can happen for several reasons:

application you are looking for does not exist

and

application developer does not carry out any test

and

you are not eligible (a) participate in the test program.

Can I use flashfire, to apply OTA updates on a touchwiz device without having to wipe any data (internal storage, apps) while being rooted and havin TWRP installed? And should I be normally rooted or systemless rooted for that? Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ianmacd:
You would need to be both systemless and with a stock recovery. Having a custom recovery breaks OTA updates, I believe.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The EverRoot option flashes SuperSU which in turn disables force-encrypt on the new boot image, so you will stay unencrypted.

None. From a su shell, let me know the output of:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DIDIandroid1997:
How is it possible to get the stock recovery back? O.o

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

Do you mean I can't download OTAs with custom recovery or I can't install them through flashfire while having TWRP even if I sideload them?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ianmacd:
Flash it from stock firmware. You can either do a full flash or extract just the recovery.img from the file.

I believe the former doesn't work with a custom recovery, but if you can get the OTA files onto your device by other means, then yes, FlashFire will flash them. The presence of a custom recovery affects only your ability to download OTAs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The ZIP/OTA flash function has an option to restore stock boot and recovery images during flash. And an option to preserve recovery.

In many cases enabling both options allows you to flash the OTA and keep TWRP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DIDIandroid1997:
So you mean with preserve recovery option enabled (recovery is TWRP) flashfire could be able to apply OTA updates on a touchwiz device without having to wipe any data (internal storage, apps) while being rooted and havin TWRP installed (SYSTEMLESS root needed for all that?)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Possibly.

Look, I don't get OTAs on my TW devices, so TW OTAs just haven't been tested. As such, I cannot guarantee anything one way or the other.

At some point you're just going to have a to make a backup, and try. Which probably would have cost both you and me less time than you've taken asking questions.

Greetings [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] ! Congrats on yet another awesome app. I just bought it because you absolutely deserve it and more.

Not looking for support, but rather to support you if at all possible. I have the Verizon LG G Pad 8.3 VK810.4G and the Verizon LG G3 VS985. I'm currently in the process of testing the heck out of FlashFire on the VK810 and everything has gone smoothly so far. I notice that it says in the app "LG devices untested" so I was wondering if there's any more information you would like once I get done testing the full robustness (robusity?) :) when using on these devices for all the various functions, and I do mean all?

Thanks, and have a great one.

I'm trying to do systemless root on Lollipop 5.1 (not Samsung) and wonder if I create a text file ".supersu" (it is a file, right?) with the content "SYSTEMLESS=true" in /data will be deleted or not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Not theoretically, actually. I've done it. With ff when doing an ota it creates a temporary backup of the custom recovery, restores the stock one, applies the ota, then restores custom recovery! The abilities of flashfire are limitless.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
He's talking about custom roms, which are made for custom recovery. Not about OTAs
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mash4077fan:
Before my phone decided it would not install custom recovery anymore I was able to install the MOAR for the Note 5 with TWRP but then my phone acted up since the last update of the rom and no I dont hink it has anything to do with rom and I always stayed with stock kernel. When I odin back to stock MM I decided to give FF a try and it worked now I just need to determine if I want to take the chance on flashing MOAR with FF since twrp is not an option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
That's a risk we can't decide to take for you. However FF is capable of emulating the aroma environment used to install many kernels and Roms.

Please posts logs and such to http://pastebin.com/, this saves me a lot of time.

In theory it should work with all, but there are minute differences between TWRP and FF in execution, and custom ROM developers usually only actually test with TWRP, so there's always a chance it will not work. In the latter case please provide the logs.

I'm not sure what I'm doing with these notices yet, to be honest.

In the current version, it will be deleted. But in the next release, I will change it so ".supersu" is only deleted when the "Wipe systemless SuperSU" option is enabled.

Understood! I'm sure your plate is full no matter what. :)

If you're interested, here's a log on pastebin of when I tried to use the EverRoot feature to inject SuperSU after flashing an otherwise stock zip of KitKat for the VK810. The ROM zip flashed fine but SuperSU wouldn't inject.

I tried both with and without the feature to skip the initial setup. I also tried with EverRoot disabled but having a second flash after the ROM zip, trying to flash various SuperSU.zip - 2.74 beta 2 (which works perfectly otherwise on the freshly rooted VK810) and 2.46. I can get you a log of that too, if you like. I also tried both EverRoot and SuperSU.zip methods in combination with the auto-mount other locations feature.

PasteBin: LG VK810.4G FlashFire lastlog - after attempting to inject SuperSU

FYI, ignore the updater-script comments - I didn't change the comments yet from the updater-script I based it on (with permission).

On Windows, try NotePad++ (free and can be used without installation/portable) to open the log. You could also try although I haven't tested if it'll work well enough, rename the log to put .txt on the end, uploading and converting to a Google Doc and copying/pasting from there.

Delete the lastlog file from your internal and/or external storage. Reproduce the error by doing whatever it was you did before, but just once. The resulting lastlog should be much smaller now.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
From that paste, it seems to me like FlashFire is producing a bigger file than your disk can store. Try backing up using adb directly to your computer instead.

Something is segfaulting all over the place, but without knowing why or which call, it's hard to know what the issue is. What Android version were you coming from ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
4.2.2. Only because it's easiest to root on this device (and when necessary, to put TWRP on).

I can test on a later Android version if you want me to, either 4.4.2 or 5.0.2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:
I just updated to the latest security patch OTA and had forgotten FlashFire's EverRoot SuperSU is still back at 2.72 so it effectively downgraded me, and I had a couple feature ideas I wanted to pitch to handle the issue:

1) could FlashFire download the latest SuperSU zip from your website when it runs?

2) could the SuperSU zip detect when the version installed is newer than itself and refuse downgrade?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The earlier flash was from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2. I just tested coming from 4.4.2, but still flashing the 4.4.2 ROM from before - albeit I've since integrated SuperSU installation in the ROM zip and it tested fine flashing in TWRP and resulted in a rooted ROM. Using FlashFire, the same ROM zip flashed but SuperSU v2.74 beta 2 didn't actually install. Flashing the SuperSU 2.74 beta 2 zip from TWRP worked fine.

Heads up the log includes a ROM backup before wiping Cache/Dalvik and dirty flashing.

Feature Request:

Make the display DIM after X seconds because when backing up big partition the display get the whole phone too hot plus it consumes even more battery at full brightness.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
The display is not what makes the phone hot, the CPU has to run pretty high for most of the backup to compress eveeything, you shouldn't be running a backup if your battery is at a low level and you can't charge it, preferably only run a backup on the charger and with your phone about 60 or so. That said I would also appreciate a way to dim the backlight while in flashfire if it's doable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] armando_rod:
It doest get hot using the display at full brightness some devices (mostly OLED) have some sort of safety guard for that, not to mention the heat from using the CPU at 100% and it does take away a lot of battery

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ktmom:
Straight from the play store description;

"It also offers full device backup and restore functionalities in several formats. Relevant files can be stored on internal storage, SD cards,

USB connected storage,

or can even be streamed directly to and from your computer using USB or Wi-Fi."
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CptanPanic:
I ask specifically, because I hooked up a USB drive that shows up in file explorer. But flashfire only gives me options for internal and adb for backup location.

While there hasn't been an update since Feb, I remember having issues when the last OTA came out.

FF - getprop has been removed?

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Is it your intended action that starting from a few latest FF versions (not sure from which) there is no native "getprop" command support? All custom recoveries I know (with bionic busybox included - as in case of FF also) supports it while FF doesn't at this moment..

I know that I could use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SYSLIB /system/bin/toybox getprop [...], but...

...just curious to me why this command is not natively available in FF (and as a result e.g. update-binary sh script is "more /system/bin/* dependent" than in case of custom recoveries)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:

Apparently Flashfire Pro 0.50 will not detect the latest OTA once it's downloaded on S6 Edge+. After the OTA gets downloaded I tried both the Later and Install Overnight options on the updater before

switching to Flashfire. No matter what, Flashfire Pro will not detect the update. I also can not find the OTA file manually on the filesystem, it's not in the /cache partition but I'm not sure it's supposed to be there on 6.0.1 as I can not find any info on it.

EDIT: After further investigation I found the OTA file at /data/fota yet it seems that it is always downloading a corrupted archive for some reason.. perhaps this is why Flashfire won't detect it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _alexndr:
Are you sure? Have you tested it from update-binary sh script?

Please flash attached TEST.zip via FlashFire (update-binary sh script):

#!/sbin/sh
# update-binary - TEST

ls -n /sbin > /data/sbin.txt
getprop > /data/getprop.txt

exit 0

...and check the results. Then flash same TEST.zip via TWRP :)

As you can see:

1. getprop.txt result file is empty after flashing via FF while result is ok after flashing via TWRP

2. There is no /sbin/getprop file nor symlink at all in case of FF (in TWRP it is symlinked to /sbin/toolbox)

As I have mentioned already in #3649 - getprop command was available in FF a few versions ago (not sure to which version exactly), then disapeared...

You didn't say what device your using but "inject supersu" is also the same as flashing supersu. So it should be systemless.

(^^^^ Probably dependent on your device, if you need to set a flag before flashing supersu, do the same for EverRoot).
