Press volume down +power button to restart

If that doesnt work try going to download mode and flash stpck firmware from odin
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Journyman16:
Remove battery. Hold down power key for 10 secs. Replace battery and start phone. Tell us what happens.

(Holding down the power key drains residual charge from the circuit board)

There is no removable battery in s6
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Journyman16:
:D Well that sucks... Really? That's been a feature of Sammy's. That and extSDCards.

Sorry then, don't have an option for reset of mainboard. The manual maybe? Factory Reset?

Seriously...? No removable battery?

So... can you get to Download mode? If no lights etc. I am guessing not... But try it anyway. *crosses S6 off upgrade list*
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bhavstech:
Lol thats some thing missing but the phone is really awsome

Though there is no removable battery you have key combinations to power it off and reboot so doesnt matter really .

32gb for me is enough and no sd card/removable battery is tottaly worth for an excellent design
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Journyman16:
I wasn't meaning to be rude, just gobsmacked that Samsung would produce something like that. I am going to be VERY careful about reading specs for my next phone.

SO, attempt to power on the phone. When it fails, hold down power for 10 secs or until it buzzes to say it has shut down. Then try power on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ionutmaruta:
Keep pressed the Vol Down + Home + Power ;)

The phone must be restarting in Download mode. Choise CANCEL. Now you can restart in Recovery mode, but after restart, imediately press the Vol Up + Home + Power.

Choise "Wipe cache partition" then restart again in Normal mode ;)

I was the same issue on my S5 G900F.

Solved with the above combinations ;)

I have the s6 edge sprint phone with pingpong and flashfire. I see we now have roms available. Should i try flashing via flashfire?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fruktsallad:
I'd be grateful if you do and report your results back. Someone mentioned that he had disabled the flashing of the kernel and kept Knox intact, and someone else said he had flashed the kernel and was still ok.

Would be great with some confirmation, just read up a little before you do. :)

Odin user on s5

Being that we are bootloader locked on vzw s5 I am safestrapped and most anything worth flashing requires us to flash then go to download mode immediately after and flash firmware. We also have to go back to ng6 kernel to get into recovery. Is it a possibility we will be able to use this app and not have to plug in to Odin our phones twice when we want to flash stuff?

Like flash ng6 kernel through app then flash zip or rom then go into app and flash firmware to get new rom to boot instead of booting back onto safestrap?

Thank you for all of your work I have been using your work for years and you are truly the best developer hands down. Thank you for making our devices what they should be.

Since you haven't tested this app on a Motorola phone, can I make a discussion thread about your app in moto g general thread.

On moto g lots of people have lost their imei and no one has been able to successfully back it up and your app may be able to do it ( that's why the discussion thread )

We also have problems related to bootloader corruption and we will discuss that too

And for testing every other feature the app provides

So can I make a discussion thread???

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PIRATA!:
Hi there.

I'm trying to preserve KNOX on my Samsung S5 Prime G906K reading if it's able to be rooted by KingRoot or whatever.

Let's say it could be possible.

I read here that FlashFire could be a solution for preserving that state...but the thing is that compared to MobileOdin, I can't understand the differences in the KNOX thing as I've always used MobileOdin on rooted devices without the KNOX such as Samsung S3.

The things I've read make me think that using MobileOdin on rooted devices such as S5 with KNOX preserved at 0x0 with some trick, or S6 rooted with PingPong Root and so still having KNOX to 0x0, would trigger KNOX to 0x1...right?? ....while FlashFire should preserve KNOX 0x0 over firmware flashing...right?

About rooting.... FlashFire could not be used for rooting, right?

But it can preserves ROOT and KNOX 0x0 while flashing roms with some sort of FlashFire's "EverRoot" feature...am I right?

About the compression description in first page, I've not understood well if FlashFire can be used to flash regular cwm files such as mods or kernel in cmw format. Can be confirmed??

Said so, I wish you a good night.

If you flash a custom kernel using FlashFire, you'll trip Knox.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
I'm not solid, vut i'm almost certain you can only trip knox by booting in to a custom recovery.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] npjohnson:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I would normally hate to tag you in a post, as you have better things to do with your time, bit this is highly pertinent to FlashFire.

Over on the VZW S4 forums, we have been reccomending the use of FlashFire to flash 5.0.x ROMs and their accompanying firmware. The issue come in here, about 50% of the time, users report that the device would randomly reboot during the install process, even though they all came from the same clean flashed firmware! They all reported that the phone would just hang at the Samsung Bootloader Screen (not boot animation), which made me think that the Firmware packages had not flashed successfully as FlashFire had seemed to say. Strange right?

So, I did some (extensive, at least 20 rinse and repeats of ODINing to Stock and retrying) testing of the situation, and ended up coming to the conclusion, that if I set my screen timeout to anything more than 5 minutes, the files would flash successfully, and I would recieve the "Rebooting..." Message in the FlashFire prompt. Yet, if it was below 5 minutes the files would seeming flash, but the "Rebooting..." Text would never appear, it would just randomly reboot., To further test this theory, I set my screen timeout below 5 minutes, and tapped the screen at the 4:45 mark (reseting the screen timeout), voila! The files flashed successfully, and the "Rebooting..." Message was displayed.

I then recommended people who were having issues with FlashFire to try this. I tested this on the VZW S4, and several other Samsung device subforums. This lead to a significant decrease in reported failures to flash the Firmware/ROMs.

I thought you may be interested in this situation, and, thought it might be a valid bug to report.

EDIT: Add additional Info.

Not true, ff installed custom kernel that was in darklords rom ,it triped my knox and shut my phone down with on screen warning to take phone to att service center. I had to odin install original firmware to get my phone back working, but knox counter triped.

If you signed up for the beta test, do as it says and WAIT until it's available to you. I get nervous when I see so many people trying to use a powerful BETA product without even bothering to at least read how to download it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PIRATA!:
Ok, I have e few quotes..

Ok, so flashing a custom kernel or a custom recovery does not give the same results, right? At someone trips KNOX and at someone doesn't??

Well well....so FlashFire can do a backup of full installation of the firmware with all apps installed? Like an image of the device??

Tnx.

Custom recovery WILL trip knox, seems kernel is questionable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] najoor:
No. Flashing a CUSTOM recovery or a CUSTOM boot.img (AKA kernel) will undoubtedly trip your knox, regardless of whether you flash it with FlashFire or whatever else. There is no debate about it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Clatification, custom recovery/kernel and BOOTING will trip it, the simple act of flashing one will not trip it and i THINK if you never go in to the cusrom recovery it will not trip.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] optimummind:
If you flash a custom recovery, regardless whether you boot into it, will trip Knox. A custom kernel will also trip Knox. It has been this way since the S4 days.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] najoor:
You are definitely correct about the first part. If you flash custom Kernel or Recovery, you are fine until the next reboot. In fact I think a neat trick that Mobile Odin used to play was to flash a custom recovery, boot into it, do all the things that need to be done, flash the original recovery back, and reboot. The phone would not know what hit it and knox would be preserved.

I am however not sure that "if you never go in to the custom recovery it will not trip". I think the bootloader runs a checksum of boot.img and recovery at every reboot, regardless of whether you go into recovery or not, and trips the knox if it doesn't add up.

Good thing that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] knows so we don't have to speculate:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Ya, the recovery part i wasn't sure. I have accidentally flashed a custom kernel and my knox is intact, i cant exactly remember if i did a reboot though or flashed the right one after, but to stop misinformation lets just say i did. At the end of the day, if you are worrying about knox you prob shouldn't be messing with root.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morfini:
I own an g920f s6. In order to flash a custom rom do I have to delete boot img and kernel from the zip if I want to preserve knox?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Boot.img=kernel and no, not if the kernel it includes is stock, otherwise you can remove it from the zip and rdit the update-script to not flash it, but if its something like cyanogenmod im pretty sure you need the custom kernel.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aros1975:
Back to 4.4, get root by tovelroot for example, install flashfire and upgrade to 5.0 with everroot option.

Sure
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Select "Flash firmware package", then select the zip. Do not select the ZIP/OTA option, that's for different kind of ZIPs.

FlashFire needs root, so you can't use it to get your first root. You could potentially downgrade to a KitKat ROM, root that with an exploit, and use FlashFire to flash Lollipop while remaining rooted, though.

See above.

Should be fixed again next update (later today ?)

S5 has both a black screen (see above) issue and an AROMA issue at the moment (see below).

Not sure yet why, but the AROMA installer binary crashes on the S5 with FlashFire (working fine on my Nexus5...), needs further investigation.

lastlog is only written just before reboot, so if the process dies before reboot, the log isn't there (will be fixed)

This all is why this is a preview :)

Yes, I did the flash Today as well and nothing except black screen:

Knox 0x0 before ALEXNDR.N9005XXUGBNL8 (lollipop 5.0)

ROM to flash ALEXNDR.N9005XXGBOB6 (lollipop 5.0)

Knox 0x0 after ALEXNDR.N9005XXUGBNL8 (lollipop 5.0)

no logs recorder/saved on device/sd card

only file in FlashFire folder -> .detect which contain "1"

The process of flashing:

after reboot Loading ... for 10 sec (in background extract/loading stuff) after that black screen, phone no react on any keys - so .. battery removed and put back ... phone boot to the before flashing state.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
v0.14 pushed

Just pushed 0.14 to Google Play. Will show up for you guys in a couple of hours.

Blackscreen

The only thing that has really been changed is the start-up sequence. This will hopefully fix hanging on a black screen (seems to affect mostly S5 users?)

Please everyone test making an "ID" backup (because it's so small and quick) and see if that works. Try at least three times if it doesn't work (because sometimes it just doesn't start, for reasons not yet know). Thank you.

AROMA

Do not report further AROMA blackscreens. This is a completely separate issue.

AROMA currently works on some devices, but not others. If it doesn't work, this is because AROMA cannot access the framebuffer (this is an outdated concept anyway; [MENTION=402300]amarullz[/MENTION] mmap of /dev/graphics/fb0 will fail). AROMA's FileManager has newer graphics code (which I guess will be ported to AROMA Installer at some point?) but this still doesn't make it work.

FlashFire can magic things to the screen, so if AROMA is to ever work, these two will need to communicate together. I will probably need [MENTION=402300]amarullz[/MENTION] help to get that working, and it isn't the highest priority right now. Note that even if this is done, all update ZIPs will need to use the patched/newer AROMA binary as well for them to work.

Supporting more devices and firmware formats and making sure the base functionalities work has a much higher priority.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maheshwara:
What a pity... I think I will still wait a bit doing like that, because this means lots of work because of need for full reset. No root means no backup and loosing all app settings... To get all the system to the old state is full of hassles. I have hoped for a simple way to root without triggering Knox.

Hi Chainfire,

i know your main focus is on supporting samsung devices atm. Though i like to ask, are you thinking about to support the new Asus devices with Intel Atom Z35**, Memo Pad 7 (me572) and Zenfone 2 in future?

Although the bootloader is locked & we have only a stock recovery (but with a sideload option to update or rollback the asus firmware), for the me572c we got root on android 4.4.2 already and i updated SuperSU to version 2.40 at least.

Atm Lollipop is rolling out, but the OTA update kills root as expected and a downgrade to Kitkat is impossible because of i guess the changed partition table.

So, all the more as we dont have any custom roms and recoverys atm, it sounds like FlashFire could be great tool for the me572c (and other Asus devices) too.

Just for case, if you are interested and have some time to deal with the new Asus & Intel devices, that are all sources for the me572c (ww version) i can provide:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if/when. x86 isn't supported yet at all, but I'm working on that.

Possibly, yes. Let FlashFire flash back your stock KitKat firmware, then apply the OTA, then apply EverRoot. It's not very complicated but may take a few tries. I suggest you ask an expert user from the N900P forums to play with this, figure out what works, and post a step-by-step.

Yes, that's all. EverRoot option will become visible as soon as you actually flash something that touches the system partition.
