Says I need root, when I have root.

Whenever I try to open flash fire it says a need root. I have root, and I have checked it with two different root checkers to verify that. Don'5 know,what else to try.

Hey OP, I tried to installed a newly released Rom by S3V3N for G4 through flashfire. At first I tried both wipe and installing the Rom together, but it just wipes the existing Rom cache. Then tried without wiping. Flashfire takes it upto where it says installing the Rom, but then n then it shows restarting and restart the phone. Is there any special guideline for installing the Rom?

You have SuperSu?

Or you rooted with King??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ban-Hammer:
I'm sure it's been touched here before, but I have a VZW LG G4 (VS986, version 11a, rooted). Flashing works like a charm, however it takes about 30 minutes to get to the actual command screen.

After hitting the flash button, the screen goes black for up to 15 minutes.

Screen says "Loading" as various directories and files scroll in the background.

Screen goes black after that for another 15-ish minutes

The FlashFire terminal opens, commands are executed, reboots normally afterward.

If you want, tell me what logs you need and I'll pull them tonight.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vickstix:
Yes I have SuperSu, but it says my Su Binary is out of date. And yes I'm rooted with King. I tried dozens of other ways to root before that, and none worked until king.

Hi Folks.

I have 2 questions, maybe you can help:

- Where can I find the actual download link for the latest Flashfire? (Cause I joined and am tester and the links to the playstore all lead to "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

- I am installing an 1.20 OTA ZIP for my bq Aquaris M4.5. i am root with SuperSU bevore I use Flashfire to install it but after I install it (and click to install SuperSU wiy flashfire during the process I boot and there is no SuperSU in my phone. I even can see some lines during the flashing that seem to successfully install SuperSU but it is gone. Why?

Hey peeps, just sharing my little FlashFire experience.

I'm using an H815L G4 (Israeli), unlocked bootloader.

tried flashing CTT Mod (thermal files tweaking, it's somewhere here in XDA but I gotta run so no time to give you a direct link...).

Pressed Flash, screen showed "Loading" and went blank for about 14 minutes.

After that time lots of text scrolled really quick and then another blank screen for about 13 minutes.

Phone rebooted after, and it seems no changes have been made... So I guess it's not currently working for G4?

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aprunic:
Hi all.

I seem to be in trouble finding the right answer that's been bugging me for a while now - and that is what happens to the status of the phone if you use Flashfire?

We know knox stays on 0x0, if you do not trip it with custom recovery etc, but when using Flashfire to install/update with/to official firmware, what then?

So, the usual procedure to gain root and return to Lollipop for S5 G900F should be:

- download ANE2 firmware (KitKat)

- download pit file (just in case)

- use odin to flash KK firmware

- wipe dalvik/cache

- use towelroot to gain root

- install Flashfire

- use Flashfire to install latest official firmware, tell it to use Everroot during the process (what else is required?)

- ...

- live happily ever after

Question is: will Flashfire be able to return me to Lollipop from KitKat and keep root, not trip knox, and not change status to custom?

Do I need the bootloader for LP firmware I plan on using, or Flashfire will do everything for me if I feed it official Samsung xxx.tar.md5 file?

Same question with modem (even though I plan to reinstall the same firmware I already have, so no CSC changes)?

If not, where can I get only bootloader and/or modem for my G900FXXU1BOH4_G900FOXX1BOH2_SEE firmware? Can't seem to find it for latest rom...

In the end, if flashing latest official LP firmware with Flashfire will destroy root and/or change status to custom, is the only viable option to use some prerooted, knox disabled rom?

Maybe some or all of these question are answered somewhere, but detailed explanation/procedure does not exist, so I'm sorry if I'm asking again...

Cheers, Andrea

Not sure what happened but there is something wrong with my FlashFire backup, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it. When I go to restore it I get Error 66, stating that there is a decompression error and this ceases everything. I desperately need to get my files from this backup, if someone could help me. I'm running the latest version of FlashFire on a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5.

FYI I was succesfully able to flash directly to 5.0 from JB while skipping KK altogether.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ntegra:
That's funny. I used link for 1296, but went in and changed the numbers on each link.

Anyway, my battery died and upon boot up it redownloaded the update.zip so I tried again. Restore system..flash update.. Backup raw... Root.... However after it restored system.img, it said "flashing update" (maybe not exact words).. Then without flashing update it started backing up raw... Showed "rebooting" twice, then screen went black. After about 20mins I restarted phone. No root, so I just applied the update. I did not grab the logs.

Now it wants to do lmy49m, so I am going to try again.

hi,

I am actually not a pro when it comes to rooting but i have made the same process when i root my galaxy tab s. if the concept of rooting is the same, then to the question if flashfire will trip knox the answer is no, and yes it will keep root but your status will be custom.

you have to extract the bootloader and modem from the official lollipop and flash using odin.

good luck

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aprunic:
Well, if the status must go to custom, then we can live with that, because it should return to official if I reflash the whole original rom before sending the phone for a warranty, right?

The other thing bothers me - why do I need to extract bootloader and modem and flash them? Should not Flashfire install all of the original rom or it installs just a part (system/data/something) and leaves the bootloader and modem as they are?

If I'm understanding that wrongly, then please, how can I get bootloader and modem extracted? Can you explain or at least point me to an answer so I can prepare before I do the procedure?

Finally, what would be the order of things?

Flashfire with original rom (what options to use?), and then BL and modem through odin, or the other way round?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

I'm running custom rom(Darklord 2.2 Note4 port) for Galaxy Note 3 LTE with custom recovery (PhilZ) and I want to flash a new modem.bin and non-hlos.bin (OI2). But after reboot I have the same old modem, OH1, can someone help with some info? Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yabadap:
hi aprunic,

yes it is reversible once you flash the official stock rom.

i am not actually technical on how flashfire works but it does not update the bootloader and modem. i dont know why sorry.

when you downgrade to kitkat to start rooting, the modem and bootloader also got downgraded to kitkat. if you dont flash the bootloader, your unit will not open once you flash your lollipop using flashfire...

i dont know if modem flashing is required on your device... when i was rooting my device i didnt flash modem, problems on sim card happens like cant access sim contacts, cant access sim messages. when i flash the modem, all got fixed so no harm if you flash your modem too...

dont forget to tick "Everroot" in one of the options or you will loose root once you flash using flashfire

to get modem and bootloader, create a copy of your official lollipop rom file then change the extension "md5" to "zip" open that and search for "sboot" and "modem" then extract it.

once you extracted the sboot and modem... you have to tar it.

download the tool here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-extract-bootloader-make-flashable-t2864264

(the tool is on step no 3)

once you download, put the sboot inside the "tar creator folder " and start the tar process (double click imgtotar.md5.bat) it will create a backup and the tar.md5 file. do the same to modem... you now have sboot and modem to flash using odin.

-open odin

-put sboot in BL and modem in AP

start the process

goodluck.

PS. do not backup your system then use flashfire to recover coz it will trip knox, i have read this somewhere...

Or, if somebody knows how one can download APK from Play store without installing them...?

Well, I did what you wrote and what the mentioned post says, but I didn't go very far...

I unzipped then untarred the firmware from the original firmware archive (G900FXXU1BOH4_G900FOXX1BOH2_SEE.zip and then G900FXXU1BOH4_G900FOXX1BOH2_G900FXXU1BOH5_HOME.tar.md5) and got a bunch of files:

aboot.mbn, boot.img, cache.img.ext4, hidden.img.ext4, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, system.img.ext4, tz.mbn

It's quite clear what some of them are, and there is the modem.bin, but no sboot.bin or sboot.img...the only ones that look like the bootloader are boot.img and aboot.mbn (judging from their names).

I believe it is boot.img but how to be sure?

Anybody?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
No no no no no no no no no no no.

Boot.img is the kernel, not the bootloader
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aprunic:
Well ok ok ok ok ok ok....ok... what is the bootloader then?

Please, I need answer, not just a bunch of "no no no"s... ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
maybe sboot.bin? lol not sure tho
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aprunic:
Dude, have you even read my post above?

I clearly said I don't have sboot.bin - only aboot.mbn and boot.img which are the only files that have word "boot" in them...

Although, now that I look at all of their names, it might also be sbl1.mbn...which is even more likely, since I managed to find bootloader and cp for ANE2 version (KitKat) as tar.md5 files, and when I look at them I see that BL has sbl1.mbn, aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, tz.mbn, sdi.mbn files in it, and CP has NON_HLOS.bin, modem.bin in it.

I don't know how these tar.md5 files were created (I got them from [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION], http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628 ) but they might have been created using that procedure as for S3.

On his download page (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=18026) I found BL, CP and kernel version BOH4, same as mine, so I will use them.

They have a bit different content:

- BL has NON-HLOS.bin, aboot.mbn, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, tz.mbn

- CP has modem.bin

So, ANE2 and BOH4 files (KK and LP) have different content, but none of them has sboot.bin...

So, can somebody smarter check it up for me, please? Can I use these fils from [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]?

I haven't been able to find any post on how to extract bootloader and modem for S5 Lollipop, only that one for S3, and I only found these from [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION], and it's all starting to drive me nuts...
