So, if I choose to let FlashFire update my bootloader, there's rarely a reason for a regular user to update only some of the bootloader partitions. I should always do primary, secondary and trustzone.

Since I'm talking about Nexus devices, I normally use the factory images instead of the OTAs. I think I'll just open up the factory image and if the bootloader is new, flash it with fastboot. Then I'll proceed with FlashFire.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
I'll do some further looking at this. Folder exclusion selection is unlikely to make it in any day soon, but if you have specific folders you want to exclude (for good reason, such as backup locations) please do mention them.

What is a Viper, why do you have it installed, and why would you assume that I know what it is, or why it is relevant?

Other than that, I really see no reason why this wouldn't have worked. I've done this exact procedure (excluding custom kernel and snakes of questionable origin) many times. Unfortunately after the fact there is no way to know what went wrong.

When flashing a full firmware, you would normally select all the partitions except the ones that are greyed out (primary and secondary). So you don't flash primary and secondary, and you do flash everything else (including TrustZone). If that for some reason doesn't boot, you can always resort to flashing the bootloader through fastboot. But honestly I've never experienced that being necessary.

In fact, while you certainly may update bootloader-related partitions like TrustZone (and whatever else is marked protected in FlashFire) without flashing the primary and secondary bootloaders, you should not update the primary and secondary bootloaders without updating the other related partitions as well - or you have a big chance of soft-brick.

At version 0.24 it was taking the app 8 minutes to start the flash, but it was working at all.

my phone is the lg d690n (g3 stylus) with lollipop.

but any further update had made the app give up.

the next update makes it give up after some minutes trying

the newest make it give up at stage 1 instantly.

I was waiting to see if the updates would fix it but nothing

at the version 0.24 I couldn't flash from external sd either but sucedeed from /cache

the .detect have just an 1 inside

here's the flashfire lastlog

Rebooting during load

Hi there, I'm getting a reboot before flashfire completes loading.

Only the Flashfire lastlog. The other file wasn't present by the time I could navigate to it.

Sorry I can't post links, too new.

The only version that works on my device (with Lollipop 5.1, MT6753 processor arm64 1.3GHz octa core and 2gb of ram) is the FF 0.24. I tested the following functions and worked perfectly: Backup boot, recovery and system in raw mode (the backup system as the file system failed to achieve +/- 300mb); restore the raw backup; wipe data and flash twrp zip. Despite being successful, the time to switch between the system and the flash mode is 22 minutes! Since any later version to 0.24 simply restart the phone and does not go into flash mode. Here are the links of version logs 0.24 and 0.29:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] senthilrameshjv:
Guys, can you clarify something here? I am running Nexus 6p with stock ROM+ EX Kernel + TWRP with Supersu 2.65. I actually was using Pure Nexus for long time and want to move completely stock to get OTA updates. But I can't live without root for few reasons (Adaway, Titanium Backup and Double tap wake)

Is there anyway I can gain root without TWRP. I mean, I've to flash SuperSU to gain root but for that I need twrp (or can stock recovery do it)?

My aim is to have stock rooted + stock kernel/recovery (or Custom kernel and recovery if I can still get OTA from Big G) and can obtain OTA from google which I can flash using FlashFire.

P.S: Yes I would like to live a life of Average Zoe after being rooted on every device so far in past 5 years.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
TWRP can be temporarily booted instead of flashing it.

"fastboot boot <name of TWRP recovery.img>"

Once you root with systemless supersu, your kernel will be modified, but Flashfire restores stock boot and recovery when flashing OTA's.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] sorry if the question's been asked already. You say that pro version is unlocked if you've got mobile odin pro installed. The thing is I bought MOP when I had a Samsung Galaxy S II. I have since moved to Nexus and got a 6p. MOP won't launch on my device. Is there a way for people like me to get the pro version. If not, no big deal. I'll be happy to support your work.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] i've run the commands you asked from pc through adb shell on both my N7v2 and N5. They have identical settings in Flashfire, SuperSU and stickmount i have also created a bug report directly after running the commands. After the last command you'll see a line "root@hammerhead:/ # exit" Thats the end. From that point on the log is for my Nexus 7. I can't see a big differnence other than a "drwxrwx--x root sdcard_rw 2016-02-02 12:48 Android" when i run the second ls command on my nexus 5.

i have hopefully attached all the needed logs and info

the only folders i'd like to include atm are the default /music / video etc ones both on internal storage and usb otg
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
As you work fast, ChainFire. The new version worked perfectly, including did the backup system as file system, which did not work before. Now here came into flashing mode in 10 seconds, I was very happy with this. And if possible wanted to inform more thing, I believe that the program is not already recognizing the partition sizes exactly because here not been possible to flash the dd backup recovery with the same partition size, but it was possible flash the TWRP which has smaller size. The path of the mount point of the partitions in the new MTK 64bit is: "/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/"

And more thing, as I can transform the three primary partitions( boot, recovery and system) in a firmware package?

Working great on LG G4 (locked bootloader). took about 30 seconds to complete while previous version (0.24) took something like 30 minutes...

Thank you very much for your help!!! i finally have xposed!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
MOP doesn't need to launch, it just needs to be installed. Does it not give you Pro when you have that installed ?

The version I attached a few posts back should work a lot better with StickMount as well (be sure to have that updated to v3.40). Let me know if you have any further issue with that (other than wanting to exclude folders).

I don't understand what you just said about recovery. Please try explaining it again with different (more?) words and numbers.

As for transforming the partitions into a firmware package, FlashFire does not provide this functionality right now, and I doubt it will in the future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], The first is the stock recovery (with zeros completing the partition size), the second is the TWRP (No zeros). If I select the stock recovery to flash, gives error, but if I select the TWRP works.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] I don't think the test version had anything to do with this but for the moment (without otg attached) I think i fixed it for now. Used FX to delete the symlinks in /storage for 2123... and 128GB. right now FF is only showing internal. It would seem that after unticking the symlink option in Stickmount and clicking cleanup the symlinks were still left behind. I'll do some checking later with the drive attached but wanted to keep you updated right now.

*edit*

To confirm I uninstalled test, reinstalled play beta and the 2123 entry was back, reinstalled test, so was the 128gb one. The weird thing, no extra entries in /storage other than emulated and self

I see your running G900AUCU2ANG3 4.4.2 kitkat, I also have trouble with 4.4.2 kitKat (still testing) my goal is to Use flashfire to be able to install a FlashFire backup of Lollipop prerooted from 4.4.2 KitKat(last version that works with Towel Root)

running Lolipop prerooted , FlashFire works, backup's and restores, but when I downgrade to NC2 Kitkat, FlashFire has issues yet. If you use [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] method to install G900A_OC4 - 5.0 Rooted Lollipop you should be fine..

Successfully rooted Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9515), Lollipop, KNOX 0x0.

First, started from 4.4.2 and rooted with Towelroot. Then, installed SuperSU from Market.

After installing Flashfire upgraded to Lollipop.

In my Aps I got two icons of SuperSu - there was no question to disable KNOX.

In download mode it showed:

Current binary: Official

System status: Custom

KNOX kernel Lock: 0x0

KNOX warranty Void: 0x0

Using PC Odin I downgraded to 4.4.2 stock without any problems:

Current binary: Official

System status: Official

KNOX kernel Lock: 0x0

KNOX warranty Void: 0x0

I have no idea to get official status after lollipop root.

Maybe the possibility to do upgrade to lollipop at the same time with installing zipped SuperSU?

Mobile Odin Pro was not compatible with GT-I9515. FlashFire works well.

I have an SM-N9005 NEE, towelroot in 4.4.2 and then updated to Lollipop using the polish N9005XXUGBOA5. I have knox 0x0. Custom status, probably because I have the wrong region firmware installed. I'll have to wait for NEE Lollipop, which seems to take forever.

If I have understood correctly I can download the newest Polish N9005XXUGBOB6 lollipop to the SD-card, and use Flashfire to flash that while still keeping root and knox 0x0?

What options do you recommend? Should I still install the SuperSU zip in the same run, it seems like Flashfire suggests this automagically?

Is there something like primary bootloader or something else that i should _not_ flash?

Boot TWRP and look at the internal storage as well as the otg drive.

I wasn't able to see the folder with FX or Root Explorer. I could see it with the file manager while booted in TWRP recovery and delete it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
FlashFire doesn't understand your recovery image is a recovery image. Rename it to recovery.img, and it should work.

Just to add info, that test version of FlashFire should no longer show the 'bad' links leftover from StickMount (and of course StickMount can clean them up now) in either case. The 2123... one is created by Android.

You can still have a 2123... one and a named one list, one from Android and one from StickMount, in some cases. For example with FAT formatted sticks, this can be possible. They should now both work when selected.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CVertigo1:
I would like to note that the test version didn't work the first time. Both versions are 0.29, so I'm wondering if the test version didn't stick when I installed it. I uninstalled FlashFire completely and rebooted the phone to make sure it was gone. Then I installed the test version and rebooted the phone again to make sure it was still there. Then I used FlashFire to flash my ROM and some mods, including Xposed. Everything flashed correctly, and it was much faster than it has been in the past.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
Took your advice and uninstalled previous install of FF, then installed the test FF. Phone reboote, ran through all the system files like normal, loaded the FF screen, said it was flashing Xposed but not dialog of install happened, then phone rebooted. At least I'm back to where .24 left me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CVertigo1:
Did you reboot after the uninstall to make sure the old one was completely gone? I have had issues in the past where uninstalling an app didn't actually uninstall the app, so I always reboot to make sure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
yes, I uninstalled the original, then rebooted. installed the test and rebooted again. It just doesn't want to seem to want to flash xposed

FF may be working, it might just be Xposed that's not. can you give me a harmless .zip file I can try to flash to see if it is FF or if it's Xposed that's not working. I set FF to wipe Dalvic Cache before it flashed Xposed and it definitely did that part, it's just that when it came to flashing Xposed, there was no dialog and it didn't flash.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] daibaron:
Hey people !

i' am new to FF.

Since i own a Galaxy S7, the firmware upgrade is more complicated when combined with a recovery like TWRP that needs to wipe the system after it's installed.

I heard i can keep the previous TWRP installed after i upgraded with FF.

Can someone tell me how to ?

Regards
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] themage21:
I uninstalled the old one and popped on the new in the link.

Tried it doing a normal backup only, no flash yet (I don't have a backup of my phone yet and don't want to risk a bad flash with no come back - I'm a chicken, so kill me).

Goes through loading screen (lots of filenames flashing past).

Then fades to black, don't see anything for a while (I haven't timed it sorry).

If I leave it long enough, it will reboot, but if I open Flashfire, there's no record of the backup.

I'm trying to back up to SDcard if that changes anything.

Once it finishes the latest reboot, I'll paste up the log files.

Thanks for your work so far, at least others are getting progress!

Dumb question, where's the mount system option - I mustn't be looking in the right place for it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] johnlgalt:
I see one thing right away. In the first last log, look at the time spent on that 30 MB part and the two parts before it. It took no time to backup 12 MB, but almost at long to backup a 30 MB as it does a GB?

My guess is that .28 was reporting the size incorrectly. Comparing the two last files, 30 MB in over a minute, but 947 in just over double that time....

Yeah, I think the size was misrepresented in the first file.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arf8:
Even if the reported time is incorrect it does not change the fact that the file size of the backup itself is still ~1GB larger than .28, but good observation.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] johnlgalt:
Reported size. Key word, reported. Did you actually compare the sizes outside of FlashFire?

If so, did you extract them to see if the files are differently sized?

If yes to both, then my guess is that .28 was TRYING to back up a partition much larger than the 30 MB it finally got, based upon the time taken, which means that something was not working correctly before that is now. Or, rather, b something is working differently.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] arf8:
All previous versions behave the same, this is a question for Chainfire.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Strizay:
Just an update to my situation with the blu dash x plus xp d950u. Instead of flashing Xposed from the sd card, I placed it in the internal storage of the phone and didn't check any boxes. It ran the file system check, I got the FF screen, it said flashing Xposed and I actually got a flashing dialog box then it rebooted. As I write this, the screen says android upgrading. Once it reboots, I will reboot it again and try to install the .apk.

After the second reboot, I installed the .apk, I am now extremely happy to say that I now have Xposed on my device. Thank you Chainfire, you are the man.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
Could be raw partition backup vs file-based. Check the backup folders, see if in one backup the file is named .tgz and in the other just .gz (without the t) to confirm.
