Enumerating Partitions? #H3Lp#TheWait?

Just curious as to how long the #FlashFire app should show the "Enumerating Partitions" loading screen after download on Verizon Galaxy S6 edge? I saw a post saying it takes a "while the first time" but I'm on about an hour now and I'm just curious as for a more specified time frame perhaps? Thank you in advanced for any help folks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
mine was only a few seconds lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Fox91101:
Wow smh lol really? I saw a few other folks say it takes a while but no specific answers a few seconds though, well now I feel like I'm doing something wrong & yet I've done nothing but download it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
yup.. i just opened it first time since i flashed my new rom and it was maybe 1 second on enumerating partitions..

make sure root is enabled for it and make sure you have busybox properly installed..

i flash roms in ff multiple times a day sometimes and own a g925v (i have my own roms as well im sure youve seen) so i know it should take no time at all lol.. something is def. off if its been sitting there for an hour

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

to add, when i opened it, it asked for su perission and then enumerating etc. so whole loading process maybe 3 seconds at most

Got it!!! I downloaded a ROM booster and had it activated in speed mode which hibernated some of the apps necessary for it to work just tried turning it back to stock reopened and it worked fine appreciate it thank you so much you guys what an awesome forum

FlashFire worked fine for me for a while, i flashed a new rom onto my S4 VZW with it. Now i want to flash a new rom and flashfire boots into its mode but it will freeze up and boot out of it when it's loading all the files. Is there a way to fix it without having to erase everything on my phone? The rom i am using is TouchWiz based 5.0 on my s4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bkkzak:
Are you using an older version of FF? Some of the older versions (e.g. v.19) requires setting back your system clock to, I believe, before Sept. 1

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
search your device thread or google.. I'd start by searching for "root sch-I545"

this is FF thread not a root thread

I made an sh script that can unpack tlz4 files. I'll update the post with the file and source after I finish eating. This will unpack .tzl4 files on linux (and could probably be easily ported to android). Eh it won't let me upload it but just save it as .sh in gedit ~ dead simple.

Went to flash a new rom on my S4 OC1 and went into hard brick... :'(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tdct12:
Are you sure it's hard bricked? If you pull the battery, hold the power button for a few seconds you should get to a charge screen with a picture of a battery. From there hold up, home, and power. For most people it's down and home? But for some reason my phone is up. Anyway try that, see if it gets you in to download mode. If it does you can recover with odin or heimdall

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jwhistler:
Am trying to understand the backup process in Flashfire so that I can make intelligent choices as to Backup Type and the underlying location choices to select. I'm searching for some kind of tutorial or wiki on this, and running searches within XDA brings up thousands of references but no real usable info.

I have just used Flashfire on my rooted VZ S4 to flash Stang's Edition OF1. All went well and phone runs great but now I want to make a backup but don't know what selections make the best sense. What does it take to make a backup that will restore the phone to the condition it is in when the backup was made?

Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to flash the latest 5.0 on a note 3 SM-N9005 trough Flashfire and retain root and Knox 0x0?

I'm now on a rooted 4.4.3 note 3 (uend3) with Knox still on 0 tnx to towel root and want to perform the firmware upgrade but I don't know what it does with the 2 above mentioned.

For example, I've flashrired my tab S 10.5 from 4.x to the latest 5.x successful and me was told that when (if) 6.x comes out its not possible to directly flash it over 5.x due to some different partition sizes / formats therefore it will not work.

Anybody tried to upgrade the note 3 5.0 firmware trough flashfire and retains Knox on 0 and root? Do I keep my settings then or will it flash back to factory settings? Be glad to hear soon :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] samccfl99:

just a question.

1. how to backup stock kernel using flashfire?

2. is it the boot.img?

3. if i backup the boot.img will i be able to flash the backup file thru odin?

im having a problem with stock kernel backup using flashify because it uses img file and was not able to flash it back if im stuck in the boot logo
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gggg:
nop
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gadgety:
I haven't read through this thread, yet, but having spent days reading through various other threads, not only on XDA, my understanding is that, beginning with Android 4.4.2 which brought Knox 2.0, CF auto-root would trip Knox, with random reboots following. As for the warranty issue, in Europe at least it seems not to have mattered. So one of the issues has been random reboot post 4.4.2.

Worked on LG G2 D805 with Rooted Stock LP 30a installed via KDZ!

flashfire black screen, no worky

I'm running OC4 on i337, rooted. I've got flashfire, but no matter what I do in flashfire, backups or flashing ROM, when I tell it to run it goes to a black screen and just the two front buttons are illuminated, that's it, nothing else, I have to reboot and it's like nothing ever happened. I've spent hours trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, I just can't figure it out. Could someone please offer some advice? Thanks in advance!

I've tried fireflash 0.24, but it keeps saying that md5 checksum doesn't match for both zip and unzipped file.

If I unzip the file and flash it through ODIN there is no complaint.

File is I9515XXU1BOE3_I9515PHN1BOE1_I9515XXU1BOE3_HOME.tar.md5

How do I create a md5 backup file with protected partitions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gggg:
[OUT] error

during restore (I restored all suggested partitions) of data partition flashfire brings a lot of [OUT] _123456789.png messages. (123456789 is just an example)

What do they mean /consequences ? Can I still use this backup ?

Same problem here on a different sammy firmware its a weird one idk why its failing md5 when ODIN has no problems...............

Have you tried doing it a second time. I got the same thing flashing a TWRP .tar. Got md5 does not match (there was no md5). Tried it again right away and it worked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rommy667:
In my case I tried an older 4.4 kitkat firmware and got the MD5 error msg and a few weeks later i tried a newer official rom and got same msg so i just thought its f**ked as both roms worked 100% using ODIN.

I've asked this before but never fir an answer. What partitions are required and which are not in order to make a complete backup. If you select every partition the backups are huge in size, I was wondering what partitions everyone was selecting when creating a backup with flashfire?

Not sure why you bothered replying....

"NEEDING to search" is not the issue... I am just notifying @Chainfire that his app is not found when searching for the app on my phone. Even from the "OK google" search..

Play store gives uninstall / open options..

Is there way to get this working on Marshmallow that anyone knows of.? I am on a Moto X Pure 2015 and I can't get this to work ever since taking the Marshmallow OTA for my phone. This is kinda a major problem for me because TWRP does not support device decryption on my phone and I have FDE enabled so I have been relying on FlashFire as a work around for all my flashing needs. Now I am out of luck and can't flash anything without wiping my drive and removing FDE which I don't want to do anyway since I have sensitive information on this phone. So anything I want to flash I just can't now. Hopefully someone can help.

I know flashfire takes a while to do anything, but how long does it take to clear cache and dalvik? I tried it and the screen went black like it does when you flash a zip file. But it stayed black forever. I pulled the battery after about 30 minutes and everything started up fine. Does this feature work?

I've just tried to flash xposed with no luck.

- have xposed-v78-sdk22-arm64-by-romracer-20151119.zip

- have FlashFire v0.24 (unfortunately I couldn't find any good CWM / TWRP for this device)

- have device E3 Living (MT6735M), API22, ARM64, with development distribution (root at shell level only)

- the device has SuperSU installed manually (copy the zip, alter/modify the "META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary" script, run from shell)

- in FlashFire: used “Flash ZIP or OTA” menu, and kept the “Auto-mount” option unchecked

- after hitting the "flash" ...the device was freezing; I had to remove the battery and re-power it

- happily it was not "bricked", but also the Xposed framework was not installed

any idea to make it flash Xposed "at click" ?

can I flash a original Firmware (...tar.md5) direct (with modem and bootloader)?

Or should I split firmware with Cygwin, that I flash with flashfire only rom (without bootloader and modem)? And BL and Modem I have to flash with PC-Odin?

After you flash a rom with flashfire you still have to flash the protected partions with a pc,unless your flashing a rom with same bootloader,modem,etc.

Flashfire help?

I get the options to flash a firmware package,

but when I click on it, it goes to the SD card. I

Don't get an option to create Odin flashable package.

Do I need to purchase the pro version to get this option

or is my phone not compatible? I have the 910c 5.0.1 and

have read a lot, but haven't found anybody else with this issue.

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
It goes to sd card by default, you must select up top the select file system root then navigate to where you want from there.. example in screenshot

I know it creates gzip or tlz4 or something like that, i dont see anywhere in op or app that it was ever able to create an odin flashable package... maybe if you change the format extension after creating a backup to tar?

OP also states at this time pro version virtually has no difference than free version so that doesnt matter..

conclusion, seems like its working just fine and as intended.. i recommend reading entire op carefully to understand its functions before suggesting its not compatible or doesnt work or theres an issue
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1stfireye:
I read the Samsung write protection and in there

it says for protected partitions you have to create

Odin flashable package. Do I just need to use

Odin with the pc to flash the protected

partitions. Sorry for all the questions bit of a noob.

I read and search a lot and hardly ever post.

Thanks for your reply I will give it a go.

Samsung Galaxy S5, Lollipop POJ5
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Spookymyo:
If you're on an S5 why are you using flashfire? You should be using twrp or some other custom recovery. It's much easier and faster. Flashfire is for people that don't have custom recovery access.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
well if you did research before hand you would know the ATT S5 has a lovked BL same as VZW...

With root and a locked BL there is only 2 options for the him which multi system (i think thats the name) which only works on devices with a micro sd slot (so doesnt work on s6) or Flashfire.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elliwigy:
The g900A has a locked BL. I created ROMS for that specific device and for the G900V and I looked at that specific thread before I replied and it definitely has a locked BL and does not have twrp..

It uses Safestrap which is a pseudo recovery based off twrp but it is definitely not twrp in the sense you can flash modified kernels or aosp roms like CM.

I also had an S4 with Verizon that had a MDK BL Unlock (one of the very early builds only had this) which was the last "unlock" a vzw or att galaxy s4,s5,s6 or s6e was unlocked for a custom recovery like twrp or cwm.

Worked perfectly for flashing Xposed zip (xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64) on LG G4 H815 running 5.1

To anyone else wondering if it is normal for the screen to go black and stay like that for quite some time, yes it is, the only thing happening is that the backlight has been turned off (probably to save battery when running intensive code) but the program is still running. Don't pull the battery out, let it do its thing, be patient.

My phone stood like that for 30/40 minutes and then it showed a screen full of text running shortly before restarting, all by itself. After that everything was normal and all I had to do was install Xposed's APK and the process was complete.

It took longer than what I was used to from previous models, but the job was done and so far everything appears to be working correctly.
