Next update will exclude the /sdcard/multirom folder.

Selective restore (other than selecting whole partitions) is not planned. The backup is done in a streaming way - even extracting the list of files to choose from, would require decompressing the entire image.

I am not sure what could cause this issue - some necessary files appear to be completely missing, which shouldn't even be possible. I will look into it and try to replicate on my own N9.

FlashFire should be able to backup/restore the S7 without issue. However I have not personally tested this yet.

I don't know if there is anything special about a 'new line' since I don't know which 'new line' you are talking about.

There is no need to put the files in the FlashFire folder. You can put them anywhere you want. As the folder selection dropdown is dynamic and can even include a couple hundred USB drives (in theory...), adding a specific entry for each FlashFire subfolder would make a giant mess.

I am definitely not going to automate selecting files in that folder by default.

What is on the list is remembering the last folder you viewed, and opening there by default, but no ETA on that. Lots of things with higher priority.

The only way to support this would be to hardcode it, which I'm hesitant to do.

Please provide logs as requested in the first post.

What is the output of "ls -laR /dev/block" from a root shell ?

Also, unless the Nexus 9 suddenly renamed its partitions (unlikely!) its EFS partitions were never supported for ID backup...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Remembering the last accessed folder will do fine too, since it will essentially achieve the same thing :) seems I forgot to add the line or log. The 'new line' I was talking about was 'writing DDR' or something. Didn't see that one with the mmb29v ota.

Hello!

I am currently trying to make a rom for my GS4 i9500 but EverRoot didn't work properly. So the problem is, I root my device using kingroot 4.1(cause I don't want to trigger that "knox warranty void" thing) and use super-sume to have SuperSU. And launch SuperSU and enable pseudopro (sorry, can't buy atm) and then ota survival in case anything goes bad. Launch FlashFire 0.31 and first select the unrooted rom and everroot then reboot normally. After reboot, I launch SuperSU and that's it, it says no su binary installed or supersu can't find it. If you manually upgraded to android 4.3 etc. Can you take care of that? And sorry if I made any mistakes I wrote this in a hurry.

Flash the beta zip, use titanium backup to remove kinguser, launch superSU, update binaries, done

FF 0.31 on a Nexus 5, systemless root, twrp installed: got the april ota notification and managed to apply it but apparently the recovery was not restored automatically. Is that to be expected?

I flashed it manually from FF later, no big deal.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
If you are looking for TWRP to be restored after flashing, then that is not a feature of the app.

The stock recovery is restored at the start of the process, so that the OTA can be applied.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
I think you got it wrong. I have no problems at removing kingroot&kinguser, the problem is the EverRoot included in FF 0.31 does not work on my custom 4.4.2 rom. It says:

Btw, I have no custom recoveries installed on my device due to Samsung Knox thing.

Buck a duck - even in "chicken" mode, it's more than I hoped for.

First off, let me explain my sitch that led me to this point:

I have a Lenovo Tab2 A7-30F - yes; the same one with the practically useless stock recovery (and a 3e recovery that's even worse) that most users (and even more tinkerers) have despaired upgrading beyond KitKat (even though Lollipop has finally made its way around the planet for this tablet, it's been very hit-or-miss - mostly miss due to the recovery issue).

FlashFire to the rescue!

It installed that rather pesky update that refused to install any other way.

Not only that, but it unstuck my 3e recovery, too.

I was already at root (tag-team of KingoRoot and Chainfire's SuperSU) - the SuperSU saving led me to FlashFire - especially since it could be used with even a busted stock recovery (my exact pickle),

The fixing of my 3e was unexpected - but as a LOT of US Navy chiefs will tell you, sometimes you have to simply take YES for an answer. (Navy family - my late father, one of my uncles, and two cousins were all USN enlisted, with the last three all going "crow" (petty officer); atop that, I worked for the USN as a civilian.)

Once again, Chainfire saves my bacon.

The option instruction "doing this only once may break future OTAs" is a bit unclear to me. Does this just mean don't check this option for OTAs? It's the "only once" that confuses me.

The best settings for doing a stock OTA update are to uncheck auto-mount, uncheck mount /system read/write and check restore boot and recovery images? Then inject supersu in the everroot section, set reboot to normal and flash?

Sorry for asking something that's probably obvious.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] S¡lver:
For OTA updates, enabling the option "Restore boot and recovery" will cause TWRP(currently flashed on the device) to be flashed again after update or will I need to use fastboot to flash TWRP again?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
I think that refers to stock boot and recovery.

You can use FlashFire to reflash TWRP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] S¡lver:
Yeah, I meant to say that after restoring the stock recovery and then updating OTA, will it reflash my TWRP.. Anyhow, if it can flash TWRP then it doesn't matter. Thanks!

It means that if you want to / plan to take OTAs, do not turn this option on EVER. "Turning it on even just one little time can break your ability to receive and APPLY the next OTA."
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PGHammer21:
Some updates (even OTA ones) can cause automatic unroot - this is a known issue with MTK-powered devices, especially Lenovo tablets, for example. Is there an APK version of EverRoot (which I did notice referenced in FlashFire) so I can avoid having to return to KingoRoot (which IS less successful - far less - going forward; I had to use iRoot PC to root Lollipop and it's causing a ton of hob with SuperSU) and follow with having to clean up KingoRoot's (or any other non-Super-SU-supported root)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
There is a SuperSU installer zip embedded in FF which will get copied into /dev/.flashfire/supersu.zip when you select Inject SuperSU and press flash. And this thing does not work for my device. I use KingRoot then Super-Sume while I am still on stock KitKat. Then FF to flash roms with extracted custom kernels. The last rom I installed was OzcanRom for i9500 by [MENTION=5114639]citymen34[/MENTION] . It gave the same error even I didn't select Inject SuperSU and thank God KingRoot and Super-Sume worked again. I wrote my problem to this FF topic because I thought my problem was related to SuperSU included in FF. I use KingRoot 4.1 btw.

Everything's fine for now :)

FlashFire 0.31 and Nexus 5X

Hi,

bought a new 5X, upgraded it to build MHC19J, then rootet it. Now OTA-Update April 2016 is there, unable to flash it because device is rootet.

Installed Flashfire 0.31 , let it generate the actions and tried to flash. Seems to flash without errors, reboots - but afterwards build stays on MHC19J.

Next try to flash : > 10 min black screen, rebootet manually, nothing has changed. tried ist several times - half the time only black screen, half time flashing without results.

Any idea?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] br0adband:
A question if anyone might be able to help, not 100% sure it's a Flashfire issue however - I'm trying to flash the Xposed framework on an LG G4 (LS991, Sprint variant). I'm rooted, of course, and have the 0.31 build of Flashfire just installed off the Play Market a short time ago. I have the recommended build of Xposed (based on a guide here at XDA for the G4 and installing Xposed with Flashfire on our devices) which is v74 and yes I'm using sdk22 (because I'm running 5.1 Lollipop on my G4), and yes I'm grabbing the ARM64 version too.

And yes, I'm aware that LG devices are plainly outed

Whenever I run Flashfire, choose the zip, then start the flash it gets to a point about 35 seconds in, black screen, then I get a warning that says it's expecting to install the arm platform aka 32 bit and not arm64 which I'm pretty damned sure I'm using on this G4.

As stated, I'm not sure this is a Flashfire issue or perhaps something with the Xposed framework zip so, I tried several other versions from 71 through 82 and it chokes each time at the same place, apparently thinking it should be installing the 32 bit version.

I'll do more research, I haven't rolled back to the test version mentioned earlier in this thread (for Flashfire, think it was version .29) but I might try that as well. Going to make a post in the Xposed thread and search around for any more info.

Could just be I can't get this work, I don't know just yet - the person that wrote the Xposed install guide using Flashfire owns - drumroll please - an LS991 G4 just like mine so who knows. ;)

Thanks for any assistance...

ps

Just to check I noticed with CPU-Z that it identifies the architecture of the G4 as aarch64, I wonder if that's causing the zip to crap out because it's not seeing things as arm64 in that respect but instead it's seeing aarch64... maybe? :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aqua1ung:
Thank you. All I can say is that I have "Root access" set to "Apps and ADB." I have tried to install SuperSU many times, but it is not working. Anyway, how can I tell whether I am running permissive mode or selinux in enforcing mode?

AArch64 is the name for the new 64-bit ARM architecture, also known as ARMv8 or ARM64.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] br0adband:
I made an attempt at using the arm (32 bit) version and that flashed but caused issues after a reboot not related to FlashFire that I can tell. I was able to use the Xposed framework uninstaller immediately afterward to remove what I'd just attempted to make happen so, at this point I'm just going to chill and wait till I hear back from the person that reported they'd done this with the same model of G4 and then go from there. There's got to be a reason for the mismatch check of the platform but it's related to the installer script, not FlashFire.

Thanks for the response, however.

[MENTION=7417447]BadBernie[/MENTION] Looks like you ran out of space on your cache partition.

There is in option in "Wipe" to wipe and format that partition.

Then try flashing the OTA again.

Also if you have modified your system in anyway, (Ad blockers host file, xposed, or mounted r/w with root file-manager/TWRP), then the OTA will fail.

Try flashing factory image instead.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TR2N:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Would it be possible to add an option to resize system partition after flashing a factory image? This would be very helpful when adding some extra zips like exposed, layers etc.

I believe that repartitioning is at a very low level for the FlashFire work, and that break functions like ota (mainly block level). So I think it is impossible

Particulary on removing old files. So, does anyone have any idea what should I do?

I'm using Flashfire v0.30 (haven't seen there's a new beta already)

I do hope i won't have to wipe everything. :(

Suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
I'd imagine the worst you'd get is a 'soft brick' which can easily be fixed though fastboot. If that would be needed you can avoid a full wipe every with flashing a factory image through fastboot by removing the '-w' from one of the last lines in the bat file. If you join the beta program through the link in the first post, new builds (currently v0.31) will be pushed to your device through the play store.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TR2N:
Hmm. TWRP can do this, so I thought it would be easy to implement. Not everyone is just taken OTAs with FlashFire, especially if you modify system with Layers etc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BadBernie:
cannot see any hint that the cachepartition is too small. maybe system modified by nexus root toolkit ? twrp was temporarely installed by root toolkit. or is something mandantory missing ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Miss read the logs on my first scan.

But your logs did show problems reading/writing from the cache. So a format and wipe might have helped anyway. Won't do any harm. If your temporally booted TWRP mounted the system r/w then OTA's will fail.

I'm honestly not very knowledgeable in the rooting process but does this by any chance help people with a locked bootloader?

I'm asking since my device's bootloader is locked. I can't upgrade to MM because I've read somewhere that the boot.img partition should be patched if I want root. I'm currently rooted and have Xposed running LP.

Please excuse my post if it makes no sense. I don't fully understand the process.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
It helps to the extent that if you can't get a recovery it lets you flash things, it doesn't unlock your bootloader though.
