After successfully flashing an OTA with FlashFire, I ran my 6Ps battery dead playing a game. When turning on the phone after letting it charge for ~20mins, it proceeded to bootloop. The usual booting up animations happened, followed by "starting apps", then the phone would restart immediately. No way of getting into the phone.

I flashed TWRP (previously had not done so after using FlashFire because I didn't think I'd need to) and used TWRP to clear cache. When that didn't work, I did a semi-factory reset that wouldn't erase my data. Just wanted to note this because FlashFire was the last app (besides the game) that I used.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Any idea what is going wrong here?

If your /system has been modified in any way, the OTA will fail. This is likely the cause. In any other case, post your /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog, so we can actually see what was going on.

They are similar but they are not directly compatible. However, FlashFire does place a zip file in each backup folder with a script you can use to do an emergency restore from TWRP.

The system cleanup phase (stopping Android and starting FlashFire) is not completing correctly. This problem is very tricky to diagnose. I'll try to improve the logging on this for the next update.

In previous versions, FlashFire would eventually continue while this problem was still in the background. However, this can cause failed flashes, (soft)bricks, etc, so I decided to change the error-action from ignore to reboot.

The OTA is reporting that your /system or /vendor contents are not what it expected to be. You cannot apply an OTA if /system or /vendor are in any way modified (even remounting them read/write once will cause this).

You can download the matching (old) stock firmware from Google's site and reflash /system and /vendor with FlashFire, then try the OTA again; or download the new stock firmware from Google's site and flash that.

The Samsung 6.0 BETAs are not supported by v0.26. There are some fixes in the upcoming update, probably today or tomorrow.

As [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] explained, FF is perfectly capable of doing exactly that.

Indeed though, flashing the OTA generally replaces the custom recovery with the stock one. Actually, the option to restore the stock boot and recovery image before flashing also does this. Some OTAs actually check the recovery partition for being stock and otherwise refuse to flash.

That's a good idea, I will put this in the upcoming update.

Nexus 6 - 6.0 - 6.0.1

Hey guys,

Thought i'd share my error log in case it helps anywhere.

Current build MRA58K (TWRP - Rooted)

OTA Build MRB29K ("https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota/google_shamu_shamu/d9c3536aec45f667f5be5278da27810044f49e1a.d9c3536aec45f667f5be5278da27810044f49e1a.signed-shamu-MMB29K-from-MRA58K_full_radio.zip" Google API Link)

It didn't detect that the OTA had downloaded. But after reboot it has. Will try with that file.

Heres the output of /SDCARD/Flashfire/Lastlog

(EDIT: Too long to paste) "https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzOr5MntDe_3d0NZTkFLLW5VOWc/view?usp=sharing" LastLog on my GoogleDrive

If you need me to paste a certain section from it, let me know.

To be fair, not sure how modified my /System is, have installed a couple of zips like Cerberus, Viper, Xposed. So that may have something to do with it. (May be a big problem reading above, as im sure mine has had a good going over, guess i'll stick to a full img install)

I also selected everroot, flash SuperSU. If that helps.

I'll try it again with the detected OTA in case the Direct download corrupted or something and post back.

(Sorry, can't embed links yet! :crying:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
OTAs require an unmodified /system, /vendor and /oem. Your system is modified according to the log.

I'm going to see about adding an explicit warning about this, as it seems a lot of users don't grasp this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Loicre:
It's all my fault for not reading your post until after i tried to Install it. Great little app though, will be using it on my tablet as that is unmodified.

Thanks a lot!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FlyOnTheWall43:
Yeah, stock from Google.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arktay:
Just find out this app, first, thanks for your awesome work chainfire.

I have few questions..

I have a nexus 6p with stock android + xposed and elementalx kernel. Can i use flashfire to flash ota upadets without losing root and data?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MrPib:
Thanks for the reply, CF. I looked over the log, and clearly it's failing because the boot image backup is missing:

[OUT] Stock boot image backup missing

[UI] --- Restore failed, aborting

Perhaps I should just flash the N6 image from Google at this point? I imagine that unrooting won't work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Be that as it may, as several people are running into this, adding a(nother) warning is the smart thing to do!

In that case, the easy way to go is getting the full firmware from Google's site, and flashing that with FlashFire. This will also allow you to root in the process, and keep your data.

See my reply to darkalex97 a few lines above.

Installed on two Nexus 6 phones and a Nexus 7 2013 LTE. All three on stock 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) with SU Beta 2.67 No issues at all. [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] your work is outstanding.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arktay:
So I have to flash the official Google factory image. What I'm going to lose? Twrp and something else?

Which one I have to select, flash firmware package or flash zip?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Flash firmware package.

If you uncheck flashing recovery, you will not even lose TWRP.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Been having an issue since flashfire's birth up until 0.27, a number of zips don't have anything in the updater script to explicitly set folder/file permissions as the recoveries they are "intended" to be flashed with usually assume permissions if none are set by the script, I haven't tested enough to see if this happens consistently with ones that have scripts that do set the permissions, but I think I have seen it happen. Usually you can flash and then manually with root explorer or something set the correct permissions, but for things that mess with more crucial files(systemui edits for example) this can cause problems.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Just tried flashing the OTA and a first attempt failed Things seemed to go smoothly (backup space write error but i'll have to figure out how to save to usb-otg, please do say if its possible and how to enable), when the next phase begain verifying system space seemed to encounter some unexpected contents and SuperSU was unable to restore boot backup too. Please advise, i have attached both logs.

The only thing that could possibly interfere with it were it was having flashed systemless adaway file.

i'll retry again by first flashing MMB29S /system and /boot without adaway

** edit ** seems to fail aswell. 2nd set of logs attached
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
The first time you ran out of space, and your /system was modified, and the OTA failed, and you lost the backup of your stock boot image.

The second time, you didn't use the option the restore the original boot image, and thus the boot image was modified, and the OTA failed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] i'll try a third time then. Any idea how i can put the backup on my usb-OTG microSD card? Can't seem to find it in settings nor through adding a backup and the options. Was it the adway that modified /system? or something else?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:
Worked perfectly. Flashed stock boot.img separately, (since I wasn't sure I could trust the "reflash boot/recovery" option when I didn't make a stock recovery backup in Flashfire), latest OTA zip I downloaded manually, EverRoot SuperSU 2.67 and franco.Kernel r80 AK2. :)

I'll try the restore option on my N7 '13 once the OTA shows up naturally.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] any way you could add auto-generating the OTA actions if it's detected in Downloads?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I can't see what modified your system.

OTG drives aren't supported yet on Marshmallow. Coming soon.

How would it know it's the OTA ? :)

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] SUCCESS on nexus 5. Restored boot and recovery worked.

Used approach:

- selected flash zip/ota and selected manually download ota file from nexus 5 section

- disabled by default enabled mount system r/w. Perhaps a better way would be to DISABLE that one and let the users enable it. You say it yourself, even enabling that one once can fail ota.

- opted to restore boot/recovery

- added 2nd zip beta su 2.67

- flashed with success

even AdAway was still enabled AND systemless !

Logs attached for reference

also flashing twrp recovery worked. So as i promised. just now upgraded to Pro. Awesome work. That thing is a full fledged mobile replacement for adb/fastboot! You deserve penny!!!! Tried to give this a 5* review on play store but wouldn't let me due to being a test version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:
Good question. I was thinking "*-signed-`getprop ro.product.device`-*-from-`getprop ro.build.id`*" would cover Google's naming (and nicely restrict you to recognizing a current OTA for the running device) but you could always check inside the zip for META-INF/com/android/otacert as well?

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

My primary interest in flashfire is to keep root and to do not trip KNOX while updating to 6.0.1.

I am still on 5.0.2 pingpong rooted (s6edge) KNOX 0x0 Samsung pay is working.

Is everroot of FF capable of doing so?

AFAIK you'd need to modify ram disk of boot.img while keeping root, would it trip KNOX?

Thanks for your efforts.

Hi

I downloaded Albe95 Lollirom and followed steps from this post http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-how-to-install-albe95-lollirom-6-t3290287

I installed flashfire (pseudopro v0.26) on a rooted S4 (GT-i9505), running 4.3 (MK9). I first flashed from Odin LL kernel and modem, then tried to flash this rom (from internal sdcard) using flashfire with following options :

Flash ZIP or OTA".

wipe, option "System data" "Dalvik cache" "Cache partition".

EverRoot, option "Inject SuperSU".

once flash launched, phone is rebooting in recovery mode, tries to launch operation and ends up few seconds after with "no command" error. The I'm on recovery mode menu.

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong, or any advise?

Thank you in advance (I posted a similar question in reffered post on ROM itself, since I'm not sure of root cause; sorry for this 'moderate' spam)

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
No, just fastboot flash stock system. If your using systemless root, flash either stock boot as well or in flashfire choose to restore boot&recovery. After you've flashed /system you can use flashfire to flash the ota.

You can just download the factory image to the phone and use flashfire to update that way, it will keep data and root. I just tried that now with the February update for my Nexus 6.

Since this is still in testing I figured I'd throw my experience out there. I just dropped one of my ODIN images on my i9505g and flashed it perfectly with this. Auto-rooted and even flashed the protected modem partitions flawlessly. This is going to make my life SOOOOOOO much easier to maintain ODIN images for this device going forward. Using this to install new OTA's and auto-rooting in one fell swoop means I can just run my ODIN creation script when it's done and call it good. Thank you so much for this tool!
