Well it seems SU is running on custom 5.1.1 kernel like ADAM kernel which are running in permissive mode....

If there will be another soft root method like pingpong then one is encountering issues. It seems SELinux does not allow to run current SU binaries anymore Simply to use a way and injecting the binaries is a no go >=5.1.1. also CF auto root suffers from the same reason..at least it seems so.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]: Any chance to apply the right measures on the fly when ever root is doing its magic? Inject a Script via su.d to apply a policy? Another magic with your binaries?

I hope this is not the end of everroot [MENTION=2901613]FlashFire[/MENTION] /CF autoroot, because of SELinux enforcing....to use a custom kernel would trip KNOX

I am sure Samsung wants that we trip KNOX when have rooted and they have got pressure from the other companies who want to use their 'secure' features..lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
SELinux is enforcing on s6/s6e for vzw and att but flashfire still works.. the everoot or update option does not however if thats what you mean..

cf auto root also trips knox since you need to unlock the BL to my knowledge?

Extreme Syndicate v8
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Vaira:
Yes, exactly. I mean everoot. It seems the injected su binaries do not work when its enforcing on 5.1.1. The same applies to current cf root.

When using cf root it always would trip knox since it uses temporarily a custom recovery afaik. On devices with locked bootloader it does not work at all, hence people need to use flashfire. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Never had to deal with locked bootloader myself.

Can anyone kindly link me to where I can get this app?

Thanks a bunch !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
The links are working fine, but this application is only available to members who read the OP and follow the instructions, sorry. Since you don't seem to qualify at this time, I suggest you wait until FlashFire is out of beta and becomes publicly accessible... ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mat2332:
Hey guys. I had Mobile Odin Pro prior do installing FlashFire. The option in FlashFire to upgrade from Mobile Odin Pro to get a discounted rate seems to have an issue. Since this thread is now 134 pages, I am not reading through every post to see if this has been mentioned, so I appologize if it has. When the Google Pay box pops up to pay for the discounted rate, I can not change which Google account I want to pay with and it seems to default to an account that I do not want to pay from. Any suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
You never have to read through every post to find the information you want if you use the "Search this thread" feature.

The discounted rate for owners of Mobile Odin only applies to the Google ID that was used to purchase Mobile Odin. I suspect that's the one that appears when you try to buy the FlashFire "Pro" upgrade. You can't transfer that to another account. This is a limitation of the Play Store (and many similar online markets) over which [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] has no control.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mat2332:
That's for the reply, was not aware of that feature. As far as the Gmail account that Mobile Odin was purchased by it would have been impossible to buy with a that other one that is showing up since I have no payment info linked to that and only have 1 wallet account. I checked my apps and it was purchased under my main wallet accout. Any other suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ramondel:
Are you logged into the playstore with the account that you want to use with the wallet account. If so I would signout of the account and log back into it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mat2332:
I don't see an option to sign out so I just removed the account from my phone. It looks like it is referencing whatever Gmail account is on the top of the list. Without having to remove all the accounts just to make this payment, is their an easier solution?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
If you have more than one Google account enabled on your phone, when you open the Play Store's setting, you should see icons for all accounts, and clicking on the one you want will allow you to switch without removing any other account.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mat2332:
Right, I have the account I want selected in the play store. The issue is in the FlashFire app when I click on the update to pro from Mobile Odin Pro, it is pulling whatever account is at the top of the list opposed to what account I am signed in with. And there's no way to change it without switching the order of how the accounts are listed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cal4877:
Any ideas why I see this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
Yes, you're looking for something that doesn't exist! ;)

Just in case this happens as you are trying to download a copy of FlashFire, a reminder that you must follow the instructions in the OP exactly. Even if you think you already did, you probably missed a step so re-read and try again.

I just installed this for the first time given that Mobile Odin isn't recommended for 4.4 (I have CM11), but it comes up right away with an error about it not being able to obtain superuser status despite indicating that CM's superuser is one of the two supported methods.

Apps that need that have always triggered CM's system for superuser and allowed me to approve or not, so I'm not sure what to do in this case when that never happens.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
you should I don't see why not
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tommiyau:
Haven't sen flashfire actually work on a S4. Generally fails and reboots on backup. See comments way back on it doing this along with the failed logs etc. Confirmed by a number of others as well. No replies to the issue in the last month. Guess flashfire may never work on a S4.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
Actually there's no clear indication of a generic S4 problem and the reports of "failure" seem to stem from devices with locked bootloaders (AT&T!) which are in a category of their own. People (masochists?) who buy those "locked" devices are probably accustomed to many things not working right... ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tommiyau:
if you go back several pages you will see that those with S4 are experiencing the same problem. During back up Flashfire reboots the device. The feedback from others was that this was a known issue and that it was meant to be fixed in 0.21 but wasn't. The logs of flashfire crashing where included at the time. Besides that I'm not in the US and hence do not have AT&T as a carrier. Search the thread and you will find the references. Guess we are waiting for the known issue to still be fixed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rp4k:
Ok here is a question i a friend was going to suggest this app but it looks like you still need SuperSu / Root installed already on the device before it will work? is there any app that i can use to flash TWRP without using a computer and without root

i won't have access to a computer when i get my phone back and i want to restore from my nandroid twrp backup. any ideas anyone??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
I have a locked bootloader s6 edge and my device using FlashFire works flawlessly so I'm not sure what you mean exactly.

Safestrap worked flawless on my s4 and S5 as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
This was only about the S4, not S6 or other devices, and in response to a statement that FlashFire doesn't work on S4s. In this and other threads, I see quite a few reports of successful use of FlashFire on S4s, and many of the failures seem to be on AT&T/locked S4s (possibly a coincidence), suggesting that there is no generic S4/FlashFire conflict, that's all. We all know that FlashFire still needs a little bit of polishing, as expected... ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s8freak:
copy that
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
Yes, FlashFire requires a rooted device. Since you don't give any details on which phone you have in mind, it's difficult to be specific, but one alternative to flashing from recovery or using adb/fastboot is the almighty '

dd

' command that can be used to copy a recovery image into the recovery partition and could be potentially used from the phone's terminal emulator

if

you have the right access and the right binaries, but rooting the phone would be much simpler This is best discussed wherever your device is supported since this is not exactly relevant to FlashFire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rp4k:
the device is a note4 n910u .. the issue i have is i dont have access to a computer. and the phone doesn't have root or twrp . it only has stock recovery image. i want to restore my nandroid backup from twrp so i want to install twrp mobilely but presently i dont have access to a computer so i can flash like normally using odin . so i am trying to see if there is any alternative.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
If your current firmware doesn't work with TowelRoot, (or VRroot/IRoot, SRSRoot, Framaroot, etc) your best bet would be to simply borrow someone's computer for the few minutes it takes to run CF-Root or a similar tool. This is best discussed in the Note4 forums.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rp4k:
the firmware would be .. kitkat note 4 stock.. i dont know if towelroot works with it.. . i know framaroot doesn't its not listed. . i have never even heard of these other root apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kopitalk:
Just checking, how much exactly is the upgrade to pro price tag?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rp4k:
it says towelroot is a trojan . wow it makes me just want to wait till i get to a pc and just flash the phone in all of 5 mins.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] klabit87:
Of course it will register as a Trojan.

It's designed to exploit a security flaw.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kopitalk:
And it's a very powerful one, whose power to make or brick (sic) is entirely in your hand...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
I don't know what "it" is, but Towelroot is definitely not a trojan. In fact the concept of "trojan" doesn't really apply to the Android world.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Most antivirus suites detect towelroot.apk as a trojan since it has scripts to exploit kernel vulnerabilities. Obviously this doesn't mean towelroot is malicious, simply that it appears to be potentially so to an antivirus. If anything this is just another example that a proper knowledge base for computers, Android devices, and the internet coupled with a healthy dose of common sense and skepticism are much more effective than bloated, outdated, and ultimately impotent antivirus suites
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mike B.:
If only common sense were more common, our tech lives would be much easier... ;)

Most "antivirus suites" serve no useful purpose besides maybe as an income source for someone since it's now an entire industry (separate from legitimate data integrity and privacy concerns). An Android user armed with root access can do a lot more damage to an Android device than any perceived "virus". Fortunately, to repair any damage to an Android configuration one merely has to restore from a good backup. Those silly "trojan" warnings could all be replaced with a simple "remember to backup regularly" banner, but then nobody would make any money peddling "antivirus" magic potions... ;)

I guess, to the terminally paranoid, FlashFIre is a trojan too and so are all root methods, superuser apps, shells, and even those pesky apps that dare write permanent data to the SD Card... ;)

Sorry about the OT, but it's frustrating to see so much energy spent worrying about mythical trojans and viruses while useful endeavors such as reading about an app before installing or learning how to backup and restore are so often ignored.

Success!!

Ok after toiling around with all kids of issues, I have successfully installed a rooted AT&T Samsung Galaxy SGH-I337 smartphone with Lollipop (and remained rooted) Thank You very much!!!:good:

Apps used in the proccess:

[Flashed device with Odin from "download mode"]

Odin3 v3.10.0

I337UCUFNB1_TWRootable_Full_Odin.tar.md5

Installed these apps in this order [everything below is on SD Card]

Towelroot-v3

SuperSU v1.93 (settings>apply at boot) also installed it to system)

BusyBox Pro v13 (any busybox should work)

Safestrap-I337-3.75-KitKat-A03 (made sure that I have root access; just install don't reboot)

Finally........ Installed the app and carefully followed instructions on how to install the roms using the app.

FlashFire app (from developer's forum)

I337_OC3_Stock_Rooted_ROM

I337_OC3_TetherAddOn

Special Thanks to all of the Developers and the novices like me:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rseiler:
Has anyone used this successfully with CM11 4.4.4?

The app is still not triggering CM's built-in superuser system, so it never gets superuser status and so just sits on an error screen when started.

I've verified that the CM permission popup is still working by installing another app that required privileges--CM's prompt came right up and the app works, just like a dozen other apps that I have that also need privileges.

So, unless there's a way to manually add an app to CM's list, I don't see this app working.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
If you have CM you probably don't need this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rseiler:
How so? I wasn't aware that CM had any of its features. I used to use Mobile Odin to temporarily go to another ROM to update PRL, but Mobile Odin is said not to work with 4.4, which is why I'm here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Well if you are on CM that implies you have a recovery, which this app is kind of meant to be an alternative to, i can see where the mobile odin side can have an appeal though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wilflare:
anyone used this on a Note3?

to upgrade from KK to LL while keeping root and KNOX?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rseiler:
Good point. I guess I thought Mobile Odin (or Odin) was doing something special that I couldn't do in CWM given that the first step was flashing a file (using the Kernel path in Mobile Odin) called "EG4T-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5" that upon next boot allows you (from CWM) to install the stock EL29 ROM, but I guess there's no reason that I can't use it.

[MENTION=4074799]ambasadii[/MENTION], I was talking about Note 3 (N9005) DevBase with Aroma ;) AFAIK you have G900F :) Have you successfully flashed ROM for G900F with Aroma?

Anyway - I can confirm that FlashFire works fine with ZIPs containing Aroma Installer in case of Note 3 (N9005) - tested with N9005 DevBase :D :cool: in previous tests I was using extSdCard to store ZIP installer

I put DevBase in INTERNAL emulated /sdcard and works like a charm :cool: (but it still fails if I try to put the ROM on extSdCard - tried several times...)

BTW. [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - This is a little strange, because N9005 and G900F are very similar devices and both devices were compatible with MOP + ZIPs containing Aroma. Isn't? :)

Am I wrong thinking that FlashFire should install properly ZIPs containing Aroma in case of G900F? Of course, we know that it stuck at black screen (for still unknown reason), but I'm not 100% sure about framebuffer as a reason... ;)

Hi, I'm on SM-G900FD Lollipop 5.0, towelrooted - Knox 0x0 (root process made on 4.4.2) and also for me 0.14 fixed black screen issues.

Before with 0.12 and 0.13 I was able to perform backup of everything without error but flashing fw started immediately with black screen so I had to remove battery to stop freezeing.

With 0.14 I saw 2 black screens of a few seconds each, but flashing process went on flawlessly (ROM BOC1).

Flashing took about 15 mins. Complete reboot about 20 mins but I've more than 300 apps to upgrade on my phone so I think it's normal. I had only an issue with Samsung Gear app (I own a Gear S watch) in which notifications and gesture were malfunctioning. After some useless attempts to solve them I proceeded with a full re-installation of GM app that finally fixed all. Happy to be able to help you ;)

I've got a backup running with FlashFire and it seems to be a well designed app. I do have one complaint, right now my phone is hot enough to slowly cook bacon. Not a huge issue, but if you have a phone where heating is a concern, it may be. It might just be my S4's old ass processor, idk.

Also, I love the snarkiness, 'One or more errors detected, delaying reboot for 2 minutes in hopes you'll notice' and the 'Freeload' option gave me a good, hearty chuckle.
