Hi all,

I'd like to say that this app is great, yet I do have a few comments/requests/questions:

1. Is it possible to have a batch of : "backup-apps&data&wifi" -> wipe -> flash some stuff -> restore ?

2. Is it possible for the flashing operation to choose multiple files? Currently, I have to choose every file, one after another, even if they are all in the same folder. For each of the files to flash, I need to have multiple steps: press the "+" button, choose to flash, choose the file to flash, confirm. And it's a lot :)

3. found a bug of moving items: if I drag to top, the item disappear. Attached video to show the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roirraW "edor" ehT:
1. You should be able to.

2. Not currently.

Hello,

I did a full backup of my Samsung S7 SM-G930F with flashfire Version 0.5. It works great. The restore of everything works fine, too.

Now I have the newest DBT Firmware APEQ on my device. And Flashfire 0.51.

At full backup I get the Runtime Exception: Could not mount system at System Partition.

If I only backup the system partition it works without problems.

But why occurs the problem at full backup?

Do you have an idea?

Thank you, Michael
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
If you get "system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update" (you can also get this error without the bold parts, which is a different issue, and can be solved by reflashing system), I have been able to replicate this issue on the 5X, but I'm not yet sure what the cause is. It's a tricky one.

(1) From your description, it actually sounds like FlashFire died before actually performing the backup. But I cannot be sure without the log.

(2) TWRP restore, as the FlashFire backup likely does not exist.

(3) adb pull /sdcard/FlashFire/lastlog

(4) Sorry, not really.

This seems to be the combination of (unofficial) systemless xposed and FlashFire. Not sure exactly why it happens, but removing systemless xposed stops it from happening.

(1) No, you cannot currently create a backup and restore that same backup in the same session. There's no way to tell the UI to restore what you just backed up.

(2) Not at this time.

(3) Noted.

This problem is solved in the upcoming update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AndroidDeveloperLB:
1. It is possible? How? Is there a way for it to remember all that I choose (currently just apps&data&wifi, nothing more) for the next time I do this ?

Can it also backup&restore data of system apps? Or various settings of the OS ( example: default launcher, default keyboard, granted permissions, ...) ?

2. Too bad. Can you please consider it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thal:
Yes, that's normal after a "bigger" update - depends on the ROM/update (didn't get it after some OTA-updates).

I am using a Pixel C with Android Nougat NPD56N. I already had rooted and used flashfire. But somehow root disappeared. So I rooted again using xceed 8 and supersu 2.76. Everything works fine. Only flashfire is hanging in Enumerating partitionsâ?¦ Tried deleting the flashfire data and reinstalling flashfire. Nothing changed at all.

Nobody to help me or maybe has a the same kind of problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thal:
system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update

I just had the same issue as reported on my 5X also on my 6P, as the OTA is now available. Thanks [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for looking into the issue!

For the time being, I've solved the issue with downloading the factory images from developers.google.com and used "Flash firmware package" in FlashFire. This worked without any problems!

Getting just a blank screen after hitting Flash on a FireHD 10 running fireos 5.1.2 that was rooted with the latest script from rootjunky. Here's a pastebin of the lastlog file from flashfire 0.51 pastebin com/pf3GA4WD
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] baudi11:
There's some confusion here about the term "OTA". For Nexus devices, the OTA that's downloaded automatically to your phone is different from the OTA that's available from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota.

If you've applied the compatibility mode fix, FlashFire will fail with the former and succeed with the latter.

I think.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] antroid88:
On 5x ran into the issue with ota, downloaded by the phone today. However, was able to update the phone with factory image to Z build so not a big deal imho. It's my first time with flash fire so really good experience so far.

Can I flash twrp back with the flash fire?

And maybe it's not a correct question, but will flash fire able to install and keep root Android N when it will be global available?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ianmacd:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

It would be nice if FlashFire had a setting that would make it default to browsing the external SD card on devices that have such a thing. Currently, internal memory is automatically offered for browsing, but users with external SD cards are more likely to store their flashable files there for safekeeping.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aboaboit:
Glad to be helping you improve a great tool! :)

I plan to sell my N5 soon but as long as I have it I can test backup and restore with newer releases of FF.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'm not 100% sure yet, but after a lot of testing, I think the OTA issue ("system partition has unexpected contents after OTA update") is related to the cache wipe. If you're seeing this issue, try swiping away the wipe action that is automatically generated for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Prack:
Used this to update my nexus 6 to the latest OTA by downloading the package off the factory image site and man was it ever smooth. Pro version purchased, thank you much sir. Only Issue I encountered is the screen with the red progress bar is so dark I couldn't read it well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Snowby123:
I was just about to post about said problem on my nexus 7 2013. every attempt fails. I have only one other time attempted to install a block level Ota and every attempt fails. It worked the first time. I will attempt the fixes proposed in this thread

RuntimeException

Today I tried to make a backup (normal). It stoppes with

- system

RuntimeException: Could not mount device

I did several backups within the last few weeks without problems. Phone is LG G4. I don't know if that was still with 0.50 or already 0.51.

Log file exists but is too big to quote it here.

Edit: Here is the log file: http://pastebin.com/g7teYcmJ

What can I do to solve the problem?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] antroid88:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] aboaboit:
Bummer, I thought this was the same issue I was having but it seems it was just the missing stock boot, according to the log.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MATPOC:
I am using Quick Boot (Reboot) app many years on many devices and have no problems with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Extremezhazha:
Confirm that works, along with my guesses

I successfully updated the OTA, as suggested by Chainfire, swiping away the wipe action.

I'm not a android developer (yet), so I can only make my guesses of the cause of the issue, which might be wrong at all.

Since I don't think there's any logical connetion between the cache partition and the "system partition after OTA update", I realized that when the OTA didn't work, when it says "Patching system image", there wasn't the bottom progress bar that I normally see. And I noticed the generated wipe action includes "cache partition format", so I kind of suspect that after the formatting of the cache partiton, it wasn't mounted correctly. Because the OTA update requires checking the system/vendor partiton both before and after the updating process, there has to be somewhere to put the patched system image to be checked, where might be the cache partition. So if the cache partition is not correctly mounted, the system image therefor can't be written to the cache partition, and so it's not really "unexpected contents", but nothing at all. The disappearance of the progress bar when patching the system image might as well confirm this situation.

Now these are only my guesses, I hope it helps a little.

Hey [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], flashfire v0.51 is not working on the Amazon Fire HD 6, HD 8, or HD 10, which all share the same hardware. The HD 8 and 10 also share the same firmware. After pressing flash, the screen turns off for a moment and then a black screen shows and nothing happens. Is it possible you could get flashfire working for these devices? Thanks. The flashfire lastlog is here:

http://pastebin.com/7H3Y7PQX

EDIT: a quick look through shows me that the error seems to involve the lack of a '/sys/power/wake_lock' file on the device.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Yeah, I did the update of Lollipop to Marshmallow with FF, and did so without problems. In my case it was a full ota, but even then reinstall your current system stock before applying the OTA. And if after updating, FF no longer works just as happened to me, come back here and send the logs. Probably it will be easier for Chainfire fix

Does anyone know how to get Flash Fire to run shell scritps? I can't seem to get it it to run them. Thanks for any help on this
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] osm0sis:
Package the shell script as a flashable zip by making it the update-binary, (or, alternately, call the script from the updater-script with a standard update-binary). That's what pretty much all my zips do. Feel free to check them out in my Odds and Ends thread for some useful examples. :)

On Nexus 9. I was seeing the same but then I tried to downgrade to version 0.50, but it wouldn't load. Upgraded to v0.51 and was able to use it to flash the factory images and root (by flashing supersu.zip, not using everroot).

But it doesn't work again on DP5.

v0.52 Now working on Nexus 9 Wifi Nougat DP5!

I also have an Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but Flashfire has reported this as an untested device, has anyone successfully used any feature of this app on a Xiaomi Device? I will probably post this query in that device forums.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WarAxe:
I searched this thread but didn't find an answer to my specific question.

I understand that the FlashFire backup is NOT a Nandroid backup (like from TWRP). When I backup with TWRP I often use the Nandroid backup with a manager app (like Nandroid Manager Pro) to restore things like text messages, call logs, WiFi access points and passwords, Bluetooth pairings, my custom word dictionary. This comes in very handy (switching phones/roms/etc).

Is there an app that will pull information like described above out of a FlashFire backup (similar to the way Nandroid Backup Pro pulls it out of a Nandroid backup)?

[MENTION=2901613]FlashFire[/MENTION],

Reporting this here at [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]'s suggestion, as opposed to only in the SuperSU thread, as it's apparently as much a FlashFire issue as a SuperSU one.

Anyway, using FlashFire to flash the ZIP of SuperSU 2.76 on a pre-existing systemless installation does not result in su.img being enlarged from 32Mb to 96Mb on at least Samsung T710 and Samsung G935F devices.

This seems to be because the resize2fs of the Samsung ROM isn't up to the job and FlashFire either doesn't provide its own or fails to use it during flashing.

Here's what happens:

|root@gts28wifi:/data # ls -l su.img
-rw------- root root 33554432 2016-07-17 01:52 su.img
root@gts28wifi:/data # resize2fs su.img 96M
resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
The filesystem is not need to resize.It is very close to size to resize

If I 'adb pull' the image to my laptop, I can resize it there without issue.

I've fixed the T710 using TWRP, but TWRP can't read the encrypted /data of my G935F, so that one is pending a fix.

Unless you created a FastBoot compatible backup, you'll likely have to flash the stock ROM, re-root (if you don't also have a custom recovery right now), boot the ROM, install FlashFire and then restore your backup.

Hey Chainfire, the issue with the Fire HD 6, 8, and 10 has not changed with the 0.52 update. When flashing or backing up or anything the screen turns off as normal but then when the screen turns on again it remains black and nothing happens. The pastebin of the lastlog is here:

http://pastebin.com/7H3Y7PQX

based on what I can see from the lastlog, it seems like flashfire is having trouble accessing /sys/power/wake_lock. I have no trouble accessing it or writing to it through command line while the device is booted. Perhaps something is not mounted correctly?

I tried to use FF 0.52 to update Pixel C from DP4 NPD56 to new version DP5 NPD90. The automatically loaded OTA leads just to a Reboot but nothing changed. Then using the factory image it seems to work but the rolling Script Log could not been seen. Then it reboots and starts Android N Up to the N popup but aber a few seconds it reboots and everything was broken. It always booted only to flash Boot or to recovery.

I tried to reflash via fastboot but told me it is the wrong Bootloader even if the name was just the same.

Reinstalled the Bootlloader via fastboot and then the new factory zip via fastboot. But the situation was the same: Got only to the Pop Up from Android N. Then System rebootet ...

After that I flashed the TWRP 3.0.2.21 and recognized that there was no data Partition at all. Even Formating via Stock AND TWRP recovery failed.

Finally I had to install the complete factory image including overwriting User data. Then it works.
