Do you have a lot of modules installed? If so, which ones?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lebaud07:
2 modules installed and active:

- Android Mic fix (v3.1.1)

- greenify4magisk (v3.6)

greenify4magisk module seems to break something, as disabling it make flashfire work again correctly.

Master, I have a problem.. When I tried flash any IMG or ZIP package with Flashfire or flashify my phone abort the reboot process and stopped on BOOTLOGO... a can reboot only reflashing stock firmware again... Any suggestion?

I was able to reproduce this issue, so I no longer need those logs. There will be an update to fix this issue ASAP.

As the error says, sockets are ignored. There are more types of 'special' files that are ignored. This is not problematic, they are recreated at device boot.

Seeing both Flashify and FlashFire cause this problem, perhaps your bootloader is locked? Or you have reactivation lock enabled? Or you have factory reset protection enabled?

right to knowledge:

with a sd with 2 partitions (fat32 + ext4), FlashFire does not start ... just remove the sd (from settings, memory) and everything works (I have the files on the internal memory) ... would be able to resolve? (problem got up from the first version, but with the mobile odin pro no problem)

it is not a serious problem .. The app is outstanding!

thanks a lot ...

So if I want to move to a new rom and restore apps and data, I should make a "Normal" backup with flashfire, use flashfire to flash the new rom, then restore the "normal" backup? I'm used to using zip from tibu, but this would be easier. Just not sure the proper backup to make and restore that would only include my apps and their data.

I just tried to do a normal backup from one pixel xl to another with security turned off. It is not working. After restore on reboot it starts up to the new phone wizard. This worked with 0.57 and the latest SR2.

UPDATE: I just tried restoring a .58 backup with .57 and the same thing is occurring after the restore completes it ends up rebooting into recovery and doing a wipe without wiping user data.

Next I will try to restore a .57 backup with .58.

UPDATE: Restoring a .57 backup with .58 does not work either. I set flashfire up to reboot to recovery instead of normal and looked at the data partition. It was encrypted. This does not happen when restoring a .57 backup with .57 flashfire. I have also confirmed that supersuconfig is not changing anything regarding encryption from what was set initally since I did not use supersuconfig on the device I am creating the backups with.

After all this it seems that .58 is having an issue with at least normal backup/restore. Can you take a look at this? If it works restoring to the same device if possible can you test to another device?

Thanks

User error on your end. Just installed the latest version of ARISE with no problems (using FlashFire). Take this to the ARISE thread. They'll want to know 2 things at a minimum

1) did you correctly place and fill out arise_customize.prop

2) do you have enough space (300-400 MB) in your system partition. (The operative word there is system)

You might also want to post FlashFire/lastlog to pastebin and include the url.

Ever since updating from Android N to Android O DP3, I haven't been able to use FlashFire to update to DP4. I'm on a Nexus 6P rooted with MagiskSU. Previously, I would use FF to flash an Android update as a firmware package without injecting SuperSU and preserving recovery, and I would boot to TWRP and flash MagiskSU there. Now, when I try to flash DP4 as a firmware package, FF will show a loading screen, fade to a black screen, and never progress to the scrolling files screen or the main FlashFire flashing screen. I've let it hang there for at least 10 minutes in the past and it hasn't progressed.

What I thought was that I'd just use FlashFire to flash the Magisk uninstaller zip, then the ota, then reinstall Magisk. All in one go. But The phone never woke up from the black screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dior DNA:
I considered buying S8+ but I have no ODIN (no Windows nor Windows emulator) and I did not hear anyone confirm (in separate thread) Heimdall still works for recent Samung like S8+. In the past, I have flashed several Galaxy devices (not only mine) using Heimdall on Linux. So, would FlashFire, like ODIN or Heimdall, allow me to flash any S8+ partition? This would be a tie break for me to buy the device. Thanks for advice.

FlashFire Pro v. 0.60 did not work in trying to flash both OTA and Factory image for Android O on my Pixel C yesterday.

The OTA was detected but just hung on the DL screen. The Factory image loaded as before, but when reeboot, FF stayed on a black screen until I reebooted manually.

I fastboot flashed Oreo Factory image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
That's because that's old news. Chainfire said it wouldn't work because he needed to update it because certain things have changed in Oreo as to how things are display on screen for apps like flashfire. In order to make those changes he said he needed full O sources. Now that they should become available any moment (if they aren't already) he can get to work.

Ota updates can be installed if i have twrp installed or it needs stock recovery? I need twrp.

G900F (latest nightly - original armSU - G900FXXU1CQE1_G900FXXU1CQB2_Baseband_Firmware by haggertk)

Backup and Restore works now with FlashFire 0.60 on Lineage 14.1 (rooted by original armSU) as long the kernel is switched to 'permissive' mode. The most easiest way to switch into permissive mode is done by 'SELinuxModeChanger' from F-Droid.

When rooted by 'SuperSU 2.82' FlashFire will even work in 'strict' mode.

It works on both root methods. Great job !!!

Due to Lineage I have not tested OTA.

Hi,

i'm using a Meizu M2 on a stock rom. it's rooted and bootloader-unlocked but with no custom recovery. Root has been performed with the latest beta of magisk, which supports adb installation

I wanted to create a fastboot-flashable backup of my phone, therefore i installed flashfire(v0.60): when i launch the backup, however, the screen goes black (backlight is on, the screen is just black) and it stays like this for hours.

The last lines of the log are the following:

I've also tried to select only 1 or 2 smaller partitions to be backed up in order to see if anything changes but the output is the same

is there anything i can try to make it work? Could the inability to reboot be a rom-related problem?

I have been reading a lot of mixed information on Flashfire's ability to flash a stock OTA for the PIxel phones. Is there an official word on that?

I tried to flash the 8.0 OTA on my Pixel XL and the phone reboots but it is still on 7.1.2.

I did:

- Flash ZIP or OTA (selected file downloaded from Google)

- EverRoot (Inject SuperSU and Preserver Recovery)

- Reboot (Normal)

Nevermind. I read more, he needs more time to accommodate O changes.

I wonder why this happened...?

I Tried to do the Oreo update, and then Magisk re-install, through FlashFire on my Nexus 6P (7.1.2, July security patch)

Put the Stock boot image at the top of the queue this time, as was suggested earlier in another thread (as shown in the attached image)

....all it did was restore the stock boot image (and unroot me), then FlashFire crashed without even attempting the other actions.

did I screw up the FlashFire queue order? Anybody have any idea why FlashFire didn't even attempt anything else afterwards?

Instead of flashing stock boot.img, could you just put the magisk uninstaller in the top of the queue? (assuming you had an unmodified boot.img beforehand?)

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Surely it has to be the most secure method. A little cumbersome reinstalling TWRP and Magisk, but compared to a soft, worst case hard brick via FF or a reflash of the entire rom, it's second to none.

SuperSU 2.82 is not working on some devices causing bootloops so I take it said devices can now no longer use this app for OTA updates?

You take it wrong. The boot loops are usually then something to do with supersu. Not with flashfire itself. The owners of those 'some devices' should post in the supersu troubleshooting thread and provide the requested logs so chainfire can figure out what the issue is.
