Nexus 6p, trying to install the latest firmware. On .31, after hitting flash, I go to a black screen and have to hold the power button to reboot. I went back to .30, and it works fine. The same thing happens when backing up with . 31, just a black screen. I can however use the flash zip/ota functionality on .31.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] truckmann:
This is probably a stupid question but I rooted for the sole reason to install Adaway. Is that enough to not be able to flash an OTA with this app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Yup as by default it modifies the system hosts file. Go into the hosts file topic. It has a zip file you need to flash to support systemless root and hosts file and still be able to do ota's

Thanks. I'll look into that.

If you're getting a black screen after you press Flash and nothing happens, reboot, wait a few minutes, and try again. I'm not sure what's causing this but I know it sometimes happens.

I was getting "Mount: can't find /system in /proc/mounts"

Just un-check both options (Auto-Mount and Mount R/W), I think was that the name of those options, haha...

Now its optimizing apps, I believe now it works.

I have now a stock provider rom with root on my Galaxy S7!

Can I now flash via FlashFire another stock rom without provider stuff like the open Austria rom?

Or should I do this better via Odin on my PC?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
No because FF can't wipe system image. You can't wipe an OS that's being used by the an app you want to wipe that same system partition with. You can however use it to install twrp if one exists yet for your device and through twrp you can then use that to wipe system and install the new rom.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
This is indeed one of FlashFire's functions, but not I haven't tested on the S7 much yet.

Sorry but this is completely wrong. FlashFire runs entirely from RAM.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] corkiejp:
Don't get where you got the above from?

If FF can flash factory images on nexus, rewriting the system partition in the process. I don't see why it can not do the same to install a custom rom?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
My bad then, I stand corrected. If it can, shouldn't 'wipe system' and 'factory reset' be present then under the wipe option? I figured since that wasn't there it was impossible due to possible 'system corruption'.

many thx for this nice handy app.

Wanted to use 0.31 to update my rooted my Nexus 6p to the latest April firmware but as soon as I choose 'flash', screen goes black and stays black (waited +10 minutes).

Don`t know if I`m doing something wrong. Just to report this issue. Gonna try 0.30 now.

Thx again for your hard work and time, feloow countryman. :)

Amazing app Chainfire, managed to install xposed on my Samsung s7 Edge. However, i'd like to update the software, and someone posted they updated Samsung OTA via your app but i'd like to know how they did it?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ThePieMonster:
Flashfire app questions.

What is the difference between full and raw backup. Also what is the difference between the different restore and wipe options. I have not come across a guide explaining this yet?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KaMyKaSii:
Do following: 1. Factory reset (You can choose to not clean the user applications, which really is very good, just that you are warned, can prevent phone to start (because of data and applications can be different), but ALWAYS check to clear the dalvik cache and system data, format the internal memory is not necessary, unless you want to lose your files)

2. Installing firmware package (your stock rom of Odin)

3. Install zip ota (if the last ota is not done to your stock rom, please put the zips update following correct, for example if your stock rom is November, put ota December, ota January...)

4. Set to make backup of boot, recovery and system, this will help you to update your phone in the future without install thousands of ota

5. Put to inject SuperSU in EverRoot
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SysWiz:
Chainfire, how about excluding the multirom folder from the internal storage backup? Or at least allow the option.

How about the ability to exclude any folder just by putting a file in it similar to the .nomedia idea?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chainfire:
A full backup makes a full backup of all the partitions FlashFire knows about (there may actually be more partitions, but FlashFire may not understand them). FlashFire will decide for each partition what seems like the best method of making a backup. This can be backing up the raw partition data (for kernels, modems, sometimes system), or backing up the files contained in the raw partitions (for the (user)data, cache, and sometimes system).

A raw backup forces the backup type to be raw partition data, and does not necessarily include all partitions. If you look closely, you will find that (user)data isn't listed in the backup dialog.

In some cases, such as for the default OTA type since Lollipop, backing up and restoring the system, vendor and oem partitions in file mode is not good enough. Even though the content of all the files is the same, the raw partition data may not be. FlashFire tries to detect this and select raw mode for backup of system/vendor/oem when needed. But this is - I assume - not perfect, and thus the option exists to force the issue.

Note that backing up a partition in raw mode often uses significantly more space than backing it up in file mode, which is why file mode is preferred method for partitions that actually contain files.

Oh no, you forgot to actually include the exact path and exact upper/lowercase spelling of 'the multirom folder'.

A .nomedia type thing may be an idea. I'll consider it, but I can tell you it will *not* be in the next update, while a hardcoded exclusion for 'the multirom folder' might.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SysWiz:
Sorry. It might be in slightly different places depending on Android version. I believe /sdcard/multirom is most common location. This explains it: https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/wiki/Storing-ROMs

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ----------

Chainfire, if the internal storage backup is file-based, would it be possible to do a selective restore? For example, restore a few folders or files, but not necessarily the whole partition. Maybe in a future version?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brotbuexe:
I tried flashfire the first time to install the april developer image on N9.

I guess I made some mistake, the log shows it flashed the img files without issue.

But the zip files for supersu, custom kernel etc. couldn't be installed.

Because I could not watch the screen the whole time, I ended up in a black screen, so I rebooted and did it all with fastboot/twrp.

I had all the stuff on USB OTG.

Any idea what the errors with the zip files could be?

If a reboot would be needed after flashing boot/system and before flashing a custom kernel/supersu, I guess I would end up in a boot problem (I had decrypted the data partition for performance).

A side question. I'm getting a S7. As I understand with flashfire I would be able to backup/restore the samsung encrypted data partition, while TWRP does not support this yet? That would be great. I would not like to run a decrpyted phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shybet:
Latest update is very smooth when restoring stock boot & flashing the OTA update.. Very nice app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ch3vr0n:
Flawless update from mmb29v to mob30d for Nexus 5 and 7v2. [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] though at least on my I noticed a new line for me. Anything special about that?

Also I don't know if this is possible but I'll ask it anyway. When I download the ota files from XDA, twrp etc I move them to the 'Flashfire' folder on internal storage (where the app stores the logs etc...). When I click 'flash zip or ota', there's quite a few folders before it, before I can select it and must scroll a number of times before I get to it. Now my question is, would it be possible to add that 'flashfire' folder to the drop down list you have at the top? (The one that lists external storage etc).

My idea is that when ota's, recovery etc,... flashfire scans that location as well and automatically detects the ota, recovery etc... It would also cut navigation time to the flashfire folder.

PS still working on that 'other' thing ;) wanna be as thorough as I can.

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 (920F) running on stock 5.0.2 (rooted). Now I would like to install a custom ROM (my favorit at the moment is XtreStoLite 3.1.1), but if possible without to trip KNOX.

My idea is to install the ROM XtreStoLite 3.1.1 with FF and after the installation the Bootloader and Modem with ODIN...

Would this be possible? If NOT, any ideas how to install a custom rom without tripping KNOX?

My understanding is, that KNOX will be tripped when installing a TWRP custom recovery. Is that right?

Many thanks!

Black Screen Issue [N900V]

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] ,

A quick, but interesting, report on black screen issues:

FlashFire v0.14: no issues at all

FlashFire v0.15: black screen issue on 2 stages

It seems that flashfire binary loads on 2 stages. On v0.15, the 1st stage stuck on black screen until I hold the Power Key & then, the 2nd stage needs another push to load. Restoring v0.14 fixed the issue for me on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900V) running KitKat 4.4.2.

[MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION],

In your notes about FlashFire here, you say:

I quoted this for [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] too since flashing some senstive partitions (TZ, SBL, SDI, ... etc) without a compatible bootloader (aboot) on

locked Samsung devices

may break the boot sequence (failure in signature verification or version check) & cause

unrecoverable

Hard Brick (example: updating N900V from JellyBean 4.3 to KitKat 4.4.2 by Odin flashing full firmware except aboot).

G900V Custom Rom now?

So I've been reading a lot about the fact that you can't put something like CM12 on the Galaxy S5 Verizon because it has a locked bootloader that requires you to have TouchWiz based Rom. With FlashFire can I know install a non-TouchWiz custom ROM? I am rooted and keep switching between stock KK and Lollipop but would rather use CM12. G900V. Would this even work on G900V Lollipop?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] XDA-Sez:
I do not want to sound like thread police or something, I am only mentioning some thoughts here...

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I guess this thread is intended to support further development of FlashFire. As chainfire himself noted more than once, if You don't know what FlashFire is for or are not sure what to do for supporting development, You will have to wait for released version and/or further threads.

FOR THE BETTER EASE OF USE IN TRYING TO HELP...

Success stories should be enough one per device model, used firmware version and which actions used (i.e. flashing or backing up...)

Problems need at least some form of further detail AND logs as possible. (i.e. files folder of app, logcat dumps or google crash reports)

(And yes, I am sorry, but this implies reading or searching this thread at least once and see, if another member did report the device, firmware version before on Your topic before... JUST IMAGINE 150+ "Yes it works" or "Does not work" posts without further information - could You work out support yourself with such snipplets of info? And as always we should try to keep posts as short and informations as complete as possible.)

Just my humble opinion....

I'm using FF on both my N6/N9. When I first installed it ~v0.27? I made an ID backup on both. I accidentally deleted the ID backup on the N9. I discovered that on newer FF versions I cannot make a backup of the EFS partitions. Even under "ALL" the partitions aren't detected. Several partitions are missing, including the "modem" partition (LTE N9). Weird. Now I can't even re-install v. 0.27 and remake a backup as it just FC's. I think something is wrong with the detection of the N9's partitions and it may have to do with mine being a LTE version (volantisg) vs. the Wi-Fi only version (volantis)... Sup?
