Failed Backups

Hello [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION],

I attempted a backup with ver .18 today. I received an error of failed to mount device under cache. I have the Sprint Galaxy Note 3 SM-900P. I am attaching the lastlog files.

Since that time I have not been able to run another backup. I get the black screen followed by the setup files scowling by then just the black screen until I do a battery pull.

I did complete a successful backup last week using an earlier version.

Great job, good luck with this.

Thanks

Make sure you are rooted. If you are reboot or FC app, and restart it. You need to Grant SU to FlashFire for it to even start enumeration.

I tried a backup again this morning. Sprint Galaxy Note 3 w/ FF ver. 0.18.

FF’s backup had stopped working after my last failed attempt. I went into the App manager and cleared the FF’s data. After that I was able to start a full backup to SD Card. Everything was going along fine until it got to Persisted data.

The screen showed an error message of :

Persisted Data

[UI] RuntimeException: Could not mount device

[EXC]

Again the reboot failed. After 10 minutes I pulled the battery.

Successfully competed a Normal backup on stock SM-N900P, running stock 5.0, rooted with SuperSU beta v2.49 (designed for 5.x firmwares). No errors but once FF starts the screen dims, almost to the point of assuming it's off. I could faintly see the FF logo and white fonted wording (only headers and a few statements). It finished and rebooted without error.

Flash Fire won't start

2 weeks ago I installed FlashFire on my ATT G S5 and applied the Android 5 update. Worked great. Used FF to make a full backup, worked great.

Today I went to start FF to create a new backup and when I press the FF icon on my phone, FF appears to try to start (see a red bordered window) but then it closes with no error message and returns me to the homescreen. Tried rebooting, then tried using app manager to clear the data for FF. Still won't start.

Any ideas on how to get it going again?

Tried it this morning with my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8

Stock rom with towelroot.

Normal backup worked fine.

flashed the latest official firmware from sammobile (G900W8VLU1BOB3)

Flash seemed to go fine with no errors but would not boot or boot to recovery.

Used ODIN to reflash the new firmware which worked fine but now I have no root.

I guess I have to flash back to 4.4.2 and towelroot and then try again? Any suggestions?

**UPDATE: Flashed 4.4.2 via Odin.... Hang on boot... Factory Reset.. Started. Towelroot .. download FlashFire.. Restore backup (Success!)

So now I'm back to where I started. Using 5.0 for a day was nice. It's very quick and seems to be quite easy on the batter (was above 70% still after 10hrs of normal usage). MMS was not working at all even though the APN was set. I can't go without root. Ads are too annoying.

Just tried again with the same version as you tried with no success. After a seemingly successful flash it just freezes on the first black and white logo screen and won't advance even to the animated logo. Also won't go to recovery.

Is there something I'm missing? Should I be checking off some of the (protected) partitions? Should I be flashing just certain partitions via Odin?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ibuprophen:
Please keep in mind...

Though Mobile Odin (by Chainfire) still works for many individuals/devices (especially the older devices), it is a discontinued development that is no longer supported because FlashFire became the continued development for Mobile Odin.

I just wasn't sure if you were aware of this and wanted to bring this to your attention... :thumbup:

Well ****. This is a sad day for the Android root community. :(

I wish him all the best. He's definitely earned his retirement.

That said, hopefully he open sources FlashFire, or at least considers updating it one last time for Magisk, because it's pure genius and would be a great shame for the community to lose.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Damn shame, but was bound to happen I guess. I hope so too, that it'll get updated to work with recent magisk versions for all devices. Seems magisk might be the only way left soon, I hope at least FF gets open sourced if he doesn't do it. That way others can.

But I'm going nowhere near magisk for as long as FF and SuperSU continue to work on my 6P.

I wonder what he's thinking about how CCMT treated his SuperSU. I for one, despise it what they're doing with it. Or rather 'not doing'.

Hello,

I have a Huawei mate 9 with Android 8 Oreo (8.0.0.367 SP01C432).

Since the beginning of April, the FlasFire app launched only briefly, and then has

closed again.

That's why I bought Pro. And now I have to read that flashfire and stuff

is set?

Why did I buy them?

FlashFire on my Mate 9, runs so far, only backup do not go at all.

If I select under Backup - Full, it seems to me as if there are many

Partitions are missing.

As soon as I start the backup, the screen stays black, and that forever. Only when

I hold power, restart Android 8 again.

I will write today with Google and PayPal to get my money back.

greetings

Hallo,

ich habe ein Huawei mate 9 mit Android 8 Oreo (8.0.0.367 SP01C432).

Seit Anfang April, startete die FlasFire App nur kurz, und hat sich anschließend

wieder geschlossen.

Daher habe ich Pro gekauft. Und jetzt muss ich lesen, dass Flashfire und so

eingestellt wird?

Wozu habe ich die dann gekauft?

FlashFire auf meinen Mate 9, läuft soweit, nur Backup gehen überhaupt nicht.

Wenn ich unter Backup - Full auswähle, kommt es mir so vor als, wenn da sehr viele

Partitionen fehlen.

Sobald ich das Backup starte, bleibt der Bildschirm schwarz, und das ewig. Erst, wenn

ich Power gedrückt halte, startet Android 8 wieder neu.

Ich werde heute, mit Google und PayPal schreiben, um mein Geld zurück zubekommen.

If restore doesn't work, try LZ4

When I first did a backup and then a restore using FlashFire, it worked perfectly.

Then, I decided to save a little space with my backups and changed the compression method from the default LZ4 to GZIP. Well, restores stopped working. So I went back to LZ4 and things are back to normal.

So, if you are having restore problems and are NOT using LZ4, then you might want to set it back to LZ4 to see if it fixes your issues.

I agree. He probably won't, but any long-time XDA user who thinks that XDA couldn't benefit from some serious collective introspection is not only deluding themselves, but ensuring that some new users will continue to have a poor experience here and leave with a bad taste in their mouth. That's not good for anyone.

Lots of new users make lots of new user mistakes here, yes, but damn, the existing community could be a little more welcoming, a little more understanding, and a little less patronising. All users would benefit from this, not just the new ones.

I'm not talking to anyone in particular here, not even collectively to the people who have posted in the last couple of pages (which have since been cleaned by the mod). The problem is community-wide.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
Thread cleaned.

No need to be rude here. There's an ignore user feature for that. Either politely remind someone to search the thread, or don't reply at all. :good:

As for closing the thread, OP is quite capable of doing that himself if he wants. Just because a few of you are tired of repetitive questions, is not a valid reason for a thread closure. You are free to unsubscribe from this thread at any time.

For anyone else having issues with flashfire, search the thread before posting please.

Is there any planned support for mediatek devices? For my device on Android 5.1, the by-name folder which contains symlink to system/boot, etc. is nested in /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/, and therefore the full directory is `/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name`.

The error in the log shows: "c: echo flashfire > /sys/power/wake_lock: No such file or directory"

I looked into the past threads regarding similar error which a user reported could be solved by creating a symlink in /dev/block/platform. However, the symlink is not persistent and disappears after reboot. After pressing flash in the main program, the device shows "loading..." with file names scrolling by, but it does not proceed to the actual flashing UI and simply reboots without any action performed. Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks :)
