[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bjf189:
love the image you posted. great laugh. anyways i will post it later tonight. ill have to do it over cause after a wipe and a failed flash, i just get stuck at the verizon logo but ill just do an install without wipe so i can get back into system and post the log. thanks

update: not sure how i can get the logs when im not able to get into the system without doing an odin back to stock. so logs might not be able to happen but ill try to find a way

I received the May update but I do not know where the firmware package is located. I opened the app and I thought it was auto located but when I tried to flash it came back as April security update. Does anyone know where the firmware package is stored? I'm on Nexus 6.

Hi guys,

The charging port on my rooted Galaxy S6 ( running 5.0.2 lollipop) is broken and therefore I can't use Odin, but I wanna update my device to marshmallow so bad , is there any possible way to do that via flashfire ?

P.s: I won't receive OTA updates when unrooting since I modified my system.﻿
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aboaboit:
Yeah, I know OTAs need stock recovery but somehow I was under the impression that the app was supposed to restore the custom recovery afterwards without user intervention.

No big deal, I just have to keep the image on the device and remember reinstalling it later. Thanks for clarifying.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There is an option to do this now, called "preserve recovery" in the ZIP/OTA detail popup.

Hi,

I have Galaxy Note 3 N9000

System Now is 4.4 kitkat.

I have stock rom and kernel. I rooted my phone and flash recovery.

I want to upgrade my phone to Stock (Official) Rom from Samsung Updates ( By SamMobile ) Which is Lollipop 5.0 by Flashfire, Is it work with me perfectly or What...?

Please answer me...!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mat4r:
anyone ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Yes you can. I recommend activating the option to install the bootloader in the settings and check it when installing the stock rom package downloaded by SamMobile, as it will be an upgrade. But know that it is always recommended to have a second alternative if something goes wrong, then do so at your own risk
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mat4r:
Wow, thanks man you are the best !! :good:;)

So to clear things up : what I need to do is to download a compatble 6.0 stock firmware file on my device then head to flashfire app and activate "flash bootloader" in options then flash the firmware file via "flash firmware package" -after wiping of course- and we are done.

Someone suggested that I need to extract both system.img and cache.img file from the .tar.md5 file ( with the same version of firmware of my device) and to flash them via flashfire thus returning to stuck unmodified rom and recieving the marshmellow update via OTA and he claimed that there are no risks doing this and it won't even trip knox , could that be possible ? What do you think ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
You have changed Knox status? Or is still 0x0? I helped a friend to upgrade your S4 with KitKat for Lollipop and keep the root (install stock rom already updated and then inject the SuperSU) without changing the Knox. He has not activated flash bootloader, and this may be the main reason for the status of Knox not be modified. But it can have risks, as the current bootloader (the old version) does not identify the current system as stock and thus prevent the boot (brick), then you would need to go on the computer and install via Odin, which is not possible to you. So if not changed Knox and want to keep it that way, you think well if you want to have assurance that the system will start next boot or will risk not change Knox and can have a brick

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rakuu:
Knox status means nothing other than you will be given a hard time if you do a warranty claim.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mat4r:
once again, I'm very greatful for your helpful & informative reply, thanks mate :good::good::):)

And yeah I haven't tripped my knox yet and I would like to keep it untripped . So there is a high risk that I may end up bricking my device if I don't select "flash bootloader option" but on the other hand I will end up tripping knox if I do select it ? So the bottom line that if I wanna update to marshmellow via flshfire It must tripp the knox to get it to work ? Am I correct ? So i have to make a choice here ?

Both of the battery and the Rom mangment on 5.0.2 suck !! And I cant take it anymore and to make matters worse the charging port broke, oh dear !! :confused: :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I would STRONGLY recommend AGAINST using KaMyKaSii's instructions to update. The chances of ending up with a non-booting device are too big because of bootloader and kernel mismatch, and you have no way to flash the bootloaders via USB, so you cannot fix the issue. Especially on Samsung, bootloader flash from FlashFire is often unsuccessfull.

As you don't have KNOX tripped, flash back the same stock firmware you have without rooting it and get a warranty replacement, if you still can.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mat4r:
well, I guess that settles it, many thanks to to you [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] :) . But one more thing, what do you the solution suggested by the person in the attached pic ?, will it work ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Just figure out what exact firmware you have from Settings -> About device, then download the appropriate file from SamMobile.com. Flash it entirely in FlashFire. You may even need to wipe userdata, but this may not be necessary.

If you never flashed a different modem, it's not changed, so even if flashing it fails, that would not pose an issue.

I am however a bit worried about that without flashing through ODIN, some Samsung devices do not reset the binary flag to official. As you cannot use ODIN, in the end, the device may still think you have a modified devices, and thus refuse to download and flash the OTA, leaving you both unrooted *and* stuck on Lollipop.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mat4r:
So you mean that there is a chance ?

And what are your recommendations ? Also is installing a marshmellow custom rom with stock kernel via flashfire is out of the question ? :confused:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
I always like to follow the thought that anonymous philosopher:

"The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH."

But an alternative that may not be recommended is that you have access to the exact zip upgrading to your current version, can put in FlashFire in the following order: wipe (data); flash firmware package (your current stock boot, recovery and system); ota install; Inject SuperSU. And even if you are an atheist, pray very.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] keithross39:
Hi all, there are areas of Android where I know what I'm talking about and am able to give valid advice to other members (hence the RC tag), unfortunately Flashfire is NOT one of those areas. I am familiar with Flashfire's predecessor (Mobile Odin) having purchased the pro version and made use of it on a number of Samsung devices.

I seem to remember reading that I have to extract parts of the firmware (bootloader and modem if i remember correctly), convert them to .tar files and Odin flash them after using Flashfire.....

Is this still the case, or can I now download the full firmware, flash it as is and not do anything else.....job done.

Some of the newer comments on this thread would suggest this to be the case.

Not trying to be thick, just attempting to increase my knowledge base and get things nailed down before I purchase and use FF for the first time.....

If it's important my device is the Samsung Galaxy S5 F variant, rooted, knox 0x0 running stock 4.4.2.....

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You do need to make that bootloader and modem package for most modern Samsung devices, yes. FlashFire has an option to do this for you.

Start FlashFire, tap the Samsung card, and follow the instructions presented to you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] keithross39:
Thankyou [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for your reply. One other point to clarify....will Flashfire create just one Odin flashable .tar or one for each of the bootloader and modem? And if it is only one file, where in odin do i drop it.....PDA, PHONE or CSC (My guess is PDA but I need to be sure before I attempt it)......

Eyh guys. Reading this thread i think flashfire may help me but i'm not sure.

I have a galaxy s6 with custom rom and tripped know. For an unknown reason, my charging port is dead and i can't currently connect my phone over USB.

I want to try the warranty despite knox status, i've heard that it may or may not work. But for that i think i need to restore the original firmware. If i flash an original firmware with this, what are my chances ? Could I brick the phone ?

thanks for your help. i've never used mobile odin or this software before.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] keithross39:
If you read my convo with Chainfire above, you'll see you still have to flash parts of the firmware with Odin.....

Bearing in mind that you have a broken USB port, that isn't going to be possible for you. So in this case, Flashfire won't help....

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] atchoum44:
Didn't follow that part of the convo :( ok thank you I guess my only hope is to get it fixed without that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If you find the correct base firmware - the same version the custom ROM is based on - and flash that, that should work.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] FF 0.32 is still backing up the TiBu folder. See attached image while backing up for flashing may nexus 5 security ota. Something I also just noticed that for some reason while backing up (to external storage) is that while writing files into the archive file, the line that should actually show which file is being accessed remains black. However the LED on my external otg drive does blink which indicates writing.

Think it's backing up FF backups too unless I'm misreading the last line in image2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, this is fixed in v0.33 - out soon.

I think I've fixed the dissappearing status line as well, but it'll require further testing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] Awesome. Is it safe to abort the flashing (hard reboot) while it's doing the backing up (update isn't being applied yet) and wait for 0.33?

folders I'd love seeing excluded are /0/Music, /0/Video,...

Those folders are nothing that can't be easily retransferred to the device from pc. Music in my case holds files that can be sent over again in like 5 min.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
You might need to delete the partial backup manually if you do this, or FlashFire may get stuck on reading the backup at app startup.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
That's a trivial thing to do. As long as the active Android ROM isn't affected negatively, that's my concern. Thanks.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I just thought of something in regards to flashing an ota. Say I'm flashing mob39h from mob30d with update.zip followed by SuperSU 2.72 zip. the generated actions restore 30d boot and recovery in prep of the ota. When the ota is applied, those are updated to 30h and FF moves on to SU zip which in turn also restores those but from the 30d build! (Unless I'm mistaking?) Should the SU card /flashing not get changed to not restore boot/recovery as they would be the wrong ones and prevent the next ota eg mob30k? I'd also like to suggest that if user flashes SU zip in the ota procedure 'everroot' gets disabled automatically if SU zip is newer than embedded one.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
IF you select to restore stock kernel and recovery when flashing the SuperSU ZIP, then yes, you might end up with the wrong boot image. The instructions on the card clearly state you should disable it for non-OTA. Is it enabled by default for you when you select the SuperSU ZIP ?

Alternatively, if you enable EverRoot, and move the SuperSU ZIP flash to after, then the correct boot image will be backed up and used regardless of that setting.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...s-for-nexus-devices-alongside-factory-images/

Saw this article, and I was wondering if flashfire can handle these ota.zip's This would make it much more easy to download the update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes, FlashFire is able to flash these ZIPs. They are the same ones downloaded by Android itself at OTA time.

Just download them and select the OTA using the "Flash ZIP or OTA" action. Make sure to select the correct options (read the option descriptions) and enable EverRoot. These are done by default if the app detects an OTA at startup time, but not if you manually select a ZIP.

In the future, it is likely FlashFire will give you the option to download and install these OTA updates in a much more automated way, but that is a few versions away at least.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Actually, that post was wrong. These are *not* the same OTAs as automatically downloaded. I will download one of these OTAs and test, though I suspect they will work just fine. I will edit this post with the result.

EDIT: Worked fine on bullhead (5X)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wietse1988:
I was searching in this thread, but didn't found the answer, so I'll ask it. When there is an updated bootloader and radio, can flashfire update these as well? Or do I need to do it myself with fastboot? I'm on a nexus 6p with unlocked bootloader.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
FlashFire can do this. You need to unlock updating the bootloader in FlashFire settings first though, as this is a dangerous operation. At least, if you're using the "Flash firmware" option. If it's from an official OTA, both will be updated if they are included in the OTA itself.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wietse1988:
LOL, dangerous but save? Or big change @ messing up? Would you recommend just by doing it with fastboot? And if so, before or after you update with flashfire?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
There is always a risk. Fastboot is a bit safer. I'd use it after the update with FlashFire, and tap the Reboot action card to reboot to bootloader mode so you can immediately flash them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] just checked again and no, its not enabled by default. I must have mixed things up, done something "wrong". By default only mount system rw and preserve recovery are selected, but everroot does remain enabled by default. Am i correct in understanding that with restore boot/recovery NOT enabled, the existing backup boot will be replaced with the new one from the ota update?

Perhaps a small tweak could be to disable everroot when the su is newer dan everroot, but then again i don't know how easy or difficult it is to detect if its newer or not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Yes.

Not going to happen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
No worries and Understood, I'll have to remember not to select restore when flashing a newer SU zip after ota update. Thanks. :)

Is it possible to flash only MODEM (CP file) on Galaxy S7 Edge? or is possible to flash AP + BL + CP (system + bootloader + modem)?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I noticed something when updating with v0.33 and i'm wondering if it's a bug in the counting routine or intentional. When the backup of /data hits the first GB (1024MB), instead of starting anew at 0, the number goes up from that point on from 1024 to 2048MB. When the second GB line is printed on screen there's then 2 1024 lines, but the counter goes up again from 2048 to 3072, etc... Is this expected behavior or a bug in the routine. I've attached 2 images to clarify.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
On Samsung devices, it is advised to flash modem and bootloader through ODIN. If you have a full firmware package, FlashFire can create a smaller package with just the bootloader and modem you can flash through ODIN, while you flash the rest through FlashFire and keep root during the upgrade.

This is as expected. FlashFire divides individual files into 1024 MB chunks, which you see listed with their MD5 and completion time. The line below that keeps running is the total progress.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Just wanted to be sure, I figured the counter would reset after each GB chunk. I like the new method. I can confirm that TiBu backups are no longer backed up by FF. Good luck writing the documentation. The second it goes live in standard play store I'm hitting it with a 5 star glowing review!

Exact instructions for Samsung are inside the app. Tap the Samsung card.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brotbuexe:
I read the changelog about the adoptable storage. I guess you still working on it and the warning in the app is more about when you do the migration and already have backups somewhere?

Either way I just wanted to tell, that if I do backups to the adopted "internal sdcard" with 0.33 on the S7 (mixed mode adoptable storage) the backup still ends up on the real internal storage, not on the adoptable storage. (as we confirmed on 0.32 via remote session)

The "waiting for internal storage" is gone...

It lands on /data/media/0/FlashFire.

The lastlog is there too http://pastebin.com/pvSQgGUA

It still is fine for me because I just don't backup to "adoptable internal sdcard" but to external sdcard or usb otg instead.

Update:

Sorry, just saw that I now have "internal storage", "adoptable sdcard" and "sdcard" as targets. I try the adoptable sdcard target...

Update 2:

Backup to the other targets works as expected. All fine.

One thing for the future. As the "internal storage" is empty, it would be nice to be able to backup the "adoptable sdcard" instead in full backups.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] think I found a pretty big bug, probably due to the recent changes to the back button behavior.

100% reproduction rate on my nexus 7v2.

1. Device orientation: HORIZONTAL (this is critical for reproduction.

2. Launch ff

3. Notice menu on the left

4. Press back button ONCE

5. Menu vanishes, white rectangular space is left

6. Menu cannot be swiped visible again.

Only fix is either tilt device back vertical, this resets menu position or tapping the recent apps button. This also resets menu back visible, even in horizontal position.

My nexus 5 is unaffected in either orientation.
