Just use flashfire to flash the latest factory image, instead of flashing the system image your currently on and applying the OTA.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Nikyle18:
So I used FlashFire to install Xposed framework on my lg g flex 2 att version. Everything was going fine until Snapchat updated and logged me out. It happened before and I uninstalled Xposed framework and signed into Snapchat but now I when I flash the uninstaller in FlashFire I get a "system can't be mounted" or something beyond the lines of that then the phone just restarts.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Untick the box for 'mount system r/w in flashfire', sale thing you need to disable when you install Xposed.

I just tripped Knox on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 by flashing stock Marshmallow and injecting Superuser with Flashfire. I understand that it was the injection of Superuser that tripped Knox - this did not happen when flashing Lollipop ROMs. I think this should be highlighted as a warning in the app as I wouldn't have done this otherwise.

How about Busybox

Would Busybox do the same thing. It's installed on my 5x. Do I need to uninstall it before I try to use Flashfire on the OTA?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Busybox can be installed to /su/xbin which prevents it from modifying system.

If you installed to /system/xbin, removing it will not allow you to apply the OTA as your system partition has already been modified.

Just flash factory images instead, and when installing busybox and adaway, use the systemless methods so you can apply OTA next time.

I get an error when flashing an OTA on LG Leon.

Any solutions? (FYI, I also have xposed.)

Have you read the OTA section of the FlashFire manual?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eminemkh:
Hi Chainfire, I updated my Nexus 5x to Android 7.0 with flashfire (auto detected OTA) with success.

Now there is another OTA appeared but flashfire does not seem to be able to detect it. How should I flash it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
This has been established. You could download the incremental ota manually and flash that way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eminemkh:
Hi thanks for the help.

Do you mean auto detection for ota flashing is not available now?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rajesh00:
I have managed to get FlashFire working but got another problem. Actually i wanted to install ota update so i wanted to revert back to stock. But i found only an older firmware available for my device. So i flashed only system partition and got my phone working but now it says: "your system is currently up to date.

My initial firmware : KARBONN_MACHFIVE_L105

Flashed firmware : KARBONN_MACHFIVE_L104

Please help!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Detection still works, it's probably a nougat thing that 'broke' it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carlo1024:
Hello, Im just wondering what's the difference if you flash using OTA Vs. Flashing using Factory image with the data option unticked. I'm planning to update from mm to nougat, and I hope I don't mess anything. Thankyou in advance for the help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CyberLykan:
[MENTION=4452264]mitchdickson[/MENTION] I have read that section, but I want to know what's preventing me from flashing the OTA. Please take a look at the log.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eddie_Brock:
I'd just like to post like others that FlashFire doesn't work with Magisk installed. I've tried with SuperSU and PHH.

Not sure where to point the finger... not that fingers need pointing, but just FYI that they don't work well together.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Anything other than SuperSU is iffy, so phh is no surprise. If you're in a situation of using magisk/systemless things, probably want an actual recovery anyhow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JimZiii:
Ok so it should be fine if I stay away from bootloader and radio/modem partitions then?

I know you're doing your own root thing but do you think i'd be able to use flashfire to update an ota and have it re-root my phone with a systemless root?

EDIT: I'm running magisk right now and was talking about flashing magisk through flashfire.

I might as well ask you what the difference is between your systemless root and the magisk systemless root, if they're pretty much the same or if yours is better I might as well flash your systemless root through flashfire if possible.

Thnx

I've downloaded a OTA to my phone. I open FlashFire but it doesn't "see" it right from the start. What can I do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Nothing, please read the last few pages. Known issue. Download the OTA manually and flash that way.

There's some sites that have the incremental ones. Just check the 5X forum, pay sure there's a topic with the incremental OTA links.

Hey guys!

Been awhile since my flashaholic days and am without a PC. Currently on Nexus 5X CM 13.0 M8994F. Can I use FlashFire to flash the latest Bullhead factory image?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
I hit the plus button, and then backup, and then full, change directory to external sd card and then hit the check mark at the top right corner. all it does it bring me back to the actions screen there is no big flash button for me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
Flash button is down left
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
nope, I don't have it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] marcomir:
Quick question my friend. When I've selected the file, it checks the file and then a window cane up showing some check boxes. "Trust Zone" "image data" "key Master" and much more. Which ones should I select??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
You don't have this ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
no sir I do not. after I hit the check mark, it brings me back to the actions screen. i can swipe off all of the options, but there is no flash button
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
Is it only happening on a specific flashable .zip file or on all flashable .zip files ?

If it's only on one than there is something wrong with the .zip file rather than with flashfire.

If it happens on all do the following

Try removing the app and install it again if problem persists you have to make a incident report for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] or start using another method for what you are trying to accomplish.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
I'm just trying to create a back up of my current rom, not to actually flash anything
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] truckmann:
Just reporting that I have been unsuccessful using FlashFire to flash the update from NRD90U to NBD90X for some reason. I have systemless root and get no errors that it's been comprised but after it verifies the new OTA image it fails to patch for some reason. I'm downloading the OTA zip now to see if that will work.

Edit: flash from the full OTA zip worked fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
How did you get? And to return for stock you also need to install boot.img not only system.img
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
OK the procedure stays the same whatever option you choose.

The red flash button is to start it.

Former advice stays the same:

Try removing the app and install it again if problem persists you have to make a incident report for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] or start using another method for what you are trying to accomplish. (For example TWRP backup or Titanium Backup)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
Effectively it's the same be it that OTA is smaller in size and most of the time it's downloaded on phone directly rather than factory image which is bigger and most of the time is downloaded to a computer and flashed from there on a device.

Updating MM to nougat without using data make sure you have a good full backup just in case something went wrong you can than always switch back or clean flash nougat and restore apps and data.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YO! Sorry for the late reply lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Deepak_HK:
Hi. I have come across an issue while using Flashfire 0.53

I want to flash Xposed framework ZIP using Flashfire. But whenever I start the flashing process (keeping auto-mount and everroot disabled), Flashfire says "system could not be mounted" just after starting the flashing process and reboots my phone. The same thing happens after enabling auto-mount.

The ZIP file is currently stored on my SD card. First I tried flashing the ZIP from internal storage and then from SD card. And both the time it failed.

My phone has Android Lollipop 5.1(.1) installed and has arm processor for which I've downloaded the correct Xposed framework files.

What could be the issue? I could not find a solution to this problem hence I'm posting it here. Thank you.

Note:- A custom recovery is not available for my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OldBaldy:
See post directly above yours.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Deepak_HK:
Thanks.

This worked. But now the phone won't go past the boot screen. It's stuck at the company logo.

PS.- Now fine. Thank you very much.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Definitus:
Sadly it didn't work for SM-T800 Custom Marshmallow. It worked installing the firmware but I lost the root, and Flashfire.

I still have hope [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] :)

I got the pop-up for the October update on my Nexus 5X, download the OTA, but when running FlashFire it does not detect the OTA zip. Any ideas? Didn't have any problems with September's Update...

Yes forum search. Until there's a fix with ff. Download the incremental ota zip manually and flash that way.

Hi [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], sorry to ask again, but FlashFire still does not work on Android M with Magisk v7 installed...

I have recently updated my Pixel C to Android Nougat (NRD91D) and I noticed that FlashFire also does not work correctly, when flashing a ZIP, even without Magisk installed. It seems to run and finally reboot, but the screen remains totally black during the process (until reboot).

IOException: write failed: EPIPE (Broken pipe)?!?!

Hello! I am in desperate need of some help... (here's to you [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION])

My info:

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320) [mondrianwifi]

The tablet is running KitKat 4.4.2 Build number:...OC1

I am using FlashFire v0.53

I am using SuperSU as my superuser app (if it matters…)

I had used FF to do a Full all partitions backup (using v0.53) before I reset to factory cherry stock unrooted state. After getting it to that point, rooting, changing bootloader (TWRP), installing FF (0.53)[from Play Store], I went to restore my system (I made sure to uncheck boot, recovery, and system; everything else checked). Data and a couple other partitions restored, but when it came to my internal data, it put up this error:

[ERR] tar: write error: No space left on device

603 MiB, 2m44s

IOException: write failed: EPIPE (Broken pipe)

*I have included a picture of the error

Pertinent info:

Every other partition recovers fine (everything would be checked except boot, recovery, system, and internal data)

There

IS

enough space (as I can tell). Out of 16 GB, a little more than 10 GB would be available; and the .tgz files equal up to 5 GB (compressed).

MD5 is checked, compared, and verified

Settings for backup were: compression level was GZIP Level 6 and GZIP compression: cores was set to "All available cores"

I have tried FlashFire v0.52 and v0.50; all came up with the same error at the same point

In an attempt to recover the internal data manually, I copied the intsd.tgz files from the Flashfire folder to my computer. I attempted to extract it (7zip, WinRAR), but it would not chain the files together and I could only extract the first part. As I only know Microsoft OS's, I do not know how to rejoin the files/data or access the complete files. If anything, I would like to either do that, or somehow access the files, remove the corrupted file/folder (the error always came up on a .jpg file in a .thumbnails folder inside the DCIM folder), compress again into split .tgz files with the .tar inside, and attempt FF restoring it (skipping over corrupted files/folder). --[if this is possible, if someone could give me directions on how to do this...]

My lastlog data can be found

here

as per the directions. Also, if it would help to see/get a hold of the actual .tgz files (5 files at 1 GB a piece), I could upload them to a cloud service (of my choosing) and make them available that way...

Is my internal data recoverable/corrupted (even if my MD5 is verified)? Was it broken from when/how it was backed up? If not, is there any chance of either properly applying/recovering them back unto my tablet, or getting FF to go through a proper procedure in recovering it?

Any answer, help, advice, or review will be much appreciated! If you’ve read this far, I thank you for your attention to this and thank you in advance if you could provide some/any insight; I am very grateful to you in any case.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zeugme:
I'm not sure what you mean here, but I unlocked the bootloader of my Pixel C from the very beginning (it is still unlocked).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] autotech40:
Should answer no to split. If its a stock tar ball. It will flash bl and modem. Etc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joen47:
Yup, I answered no, it will flash the modem but not the bootloader, you have to create bootloader (based on the firmware you are flashing) using flashfire (great feature! Thanks [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] !) ... then reboot to download mode, flash the bl via odin pc.

At first I answered Yes without creating bootloader. Ended up on a bootloop.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 2ndcarpenter:
You should be able to if you are rooted. This app will not mess up knox unless you try flashing a non stock ROM. The only way to be sure is try. Try a simple EFS backup first. Backing up your phone will not break knox. The worst that can happen is, it won't do a backup and your phone will hang on a black screen, or reboot. Either way, no damage done. This app is still in beta and we are [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s guinea pigs. I mean that with the highest of respect.

Is anyone else on an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 having issues trying do almost anything in flashfire with a sd card in (I am using a new 32 gb card), but if I unmount the card it works fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carl1961:
Please try FlashFire with sdcard and save the log, then save a log without sdcard and post for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pettyfan45:
This might sound dumb but how do I save a log?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] carl1961:
After you do a action it logs the action and sends a log file to your FlashFire folder on your internal drive, what I do is rename the log to what action it did. Example logfile no sdcard.txt

Then upload to xda here
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ionutmaruta:
Thanks for the reply. As you can see in my signature I have a rooted device with Knox 0x0 and stock ROM, DevBase by Alexndr, rooted.

I can made a backup to all partitions, but when I try to restore all, 3-4 partitions are disabled and can not be restored :(

This issue come from the Samsung protections, right?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pettyfan45:
ok I think I have the logs (I made copies and sent them to a diffident folder and renamed them), how do I upload do I use my phone or do I have to send them to my desktop

Knox 0x0. Test also modded apk, flash ok.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DarkMidnight:
Good morning. I wanted to post a suggestion I had after trying to perform a "restore" on my wife's phone.

I noticed when you do a data restore, it will not complete successfully. I tried three times before it clicked.

When the data partition is restored, FlashFire wipes it first which means it deletes itself. I converted flash fire to a system app in Titanium Backup and it restored perfectly after that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zahni71:
just say thanks you to dev

I'm using version 0.15 on my Knox 0x0 S5 with AMBASADII-ROM and it works nearly perfect. From time to time the restore has been stopped, but it still in an early beta status. It helps to save a lot of time with updateting/restore ROMs.

I would appreciate to have an Aroma installer support included.

Thx a lot for your this great tool.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NIXin:
Hello everybody

Amazing work Chainfire!

Some feedback on the beta: I just used FlashFire to upgrade from N9005XXUGBOA5 to N9005XXUGBOB6 (from Lollipop to a bug-fixed Lollipop) on my Note 3, and kept both root and Knox is still 0x0 - and I didn't wipe data.

After the first reboot the phone didn't want to turn on (it did the "optimizing apps" thing and then just black screen...).

Simple rebooting didn't help (I've tried, like 3 times), however turning the phone off, removing the battery and turning it on did the trick. I flashed the bootloader via normal Odin. So far, the device works perfectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] comentator:
I just switched to magisk as it allows me to use many modules systemless.

Because of that i am usin phh's superuser. Unfortunataly Flashfire does not seem to find su when using phh's version.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] is there a fix comming for this or is this a problem of the su implementation?

Edit: I want to use flashfire as it allows to easily flash otas, even with twrp installed. Magisk+phh's superuser+ flashfire would be an awesome combination, as it would allow to have root and still easy stock rom updates+ possibility to use xposed
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
Flashfire only works with SuperSU so if you want it to work with Magisk you have to setup SuperSU in Magisk.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BananaYoghurt:
I tried to install xposed (Magisk flashed before restart), but the screen was black. Nothing happend after 15 minutes. I have LG G5 H850 with unlocked bootloader.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TAM1m:
Even with SuperSu it doesn't work. As soon as you install magisk, flashfire wont boot.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Have you tried with SuperSU + Magisk v8? From what topjohnwu said it can be inferred that works now
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TAM1m:
Yeah I got hyped when I read that v8 doesn't replace the SuperSu path anymore, but it's still not working somehow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grey1213:
I'm confused. I wanted to update the software on my galaxy s5, so I downloaded the app and the firmware from sammobile. And now I assume I flash the firmware using the app. Which options do I deselect for flashing the firmware if I want to keep all my data and I want to keep root and just update software?

Do I just select 'system'?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] grep_i:
That's a bummer, don't know if that's device specific or not maybe someone else in this thread can answer this question from the experience of having such a setup running.

I would have gladly test it for you but momentarily I'm on the SuperSU + suhide train.
