[Android 4.2+][ROOT][2017.09.21] FlashFire v0.73

[Biggspeed]

Lost USB functionality, unable to root via USB.

Samsung SM-N920W8, Canadian Note 5. Have successfully rooted many times via odin. Never flashed a custom rom just used stock. Installed Flashfire to wipe system and maintain root. Wiped successfully, lost root. Lost USB ADB functionality and USB fast charge. Unable to OTA because I have a device showing status as "custom". I would like to find a solution if possible to get USB ADB connectivity or root back. This is not a blame game. I knew the risks of using this app. I'm just looking to see if there is a solution. When I connect my note to any windows PC with Samsung drivers and ADB Debugging enabled. I just get a "device not recognized" error on the PC. Only happened after I wiped it. No longer able to use odin on PC as normal. Lost custom recovery so no flashing SuperSu either. Tried flashing stock rom via stock recovery and get an error there as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You're probably going to have more luck in your device specific forum. You're having somewhat hardware related issues, and that's a bit beyond the scope of this topic

blank screen after scanning archive

Hey All,
I have a question.
I have a rooted s8 and use flashfire and magisk
If I want to update I start flashfire and choose " flash firmware package" .
I downloaded the firmware from updato.
It starts scanning the archive and when its done nothing happens.
I have a screenshot from the screen I get.
Anybody know what this is?

Possibly it is a corrupted file...i think...

No, the file is good, tried different files as well, all the same.

Sounds like your bootloader is damaged. What error does flashing thru stock recovery give you? Have you tried factory reset from stock recovery? First do that. Then see if that fixes USB access in Download mode with Odin. Flash latest stock firmware (from SamFirm) through Odin. Then flash TWRP, install magisk through TWRP and you're back as root.

I have done a reset from stock recovery. No change. "DM-Verity Verification Failed" , is the error I get when try to flash Stock via stock recovery.

If the ota is doing integrity checking, it probably is not a full ota, check this out. And have you tried Heimdall instead of Odin? If it still does not work on Windows, try on Linux

I haven't tried Heimdall no, but I dont even get to that point. Odin works, its Windows not recognizing the device on every PC I've tried. I've thought about Linux but don't have a machine that runs it and figured it would recognize it the same way. And zero Linux experience too. As for a complete OTA I thought it was. Any good links for a complete OTA that you could point me towards? Thanks for the help.

Have you tried an older Odin version, like 3.12.3 ?
Either way, your /boot is damaged. You won't get proper USB connectivity on a Note with that.

Assuming your Region is BMC, fill that in with SamFirm to grab the full latest firmware.

Ok downloaded samfirm and downloaded the firmware. Was able to get the new firmware to my phone. Placed it in the root directory not in any folder. Booted to recovery. Selected apply update from SD card and got the same error "DM-Verity verification failed... Update from external storage is disabled."

I mean this as an effort for you to get the fastest help possible. But also to help this FlashFire thread not get so far off topic.

This is a question that will get the best assistance in a device specific forum. You may have a DM verity file that needs to be flashed but it's not a FlashFire issue at this point.

Yup thats understood. Which is exactly what I did a long time ago. My problem was addressed in this forum thread and not the device specific thread.

Is there any way to edit flashfire so doesn't shut when I open it? Its a pain to put the date back all the time. If you answered this already, I'm sorry. I didn't read the whole the thread. (I wonder why)

Hi,
I'm trying to install Xposed (v64 sdk26 arm64) on a Asus ZE554KL Android 8.0.0.
I performed the bootloader unlocking, and then with "tricks" I installed TWRP (3.1.1-0-Z01K) because it was overwritten by the stock recovery. Now it is working with TWRP and root (with Magisk-v17.1), I also used "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0".

But when I reboot on the device, I again have Internal Storage (0MB) and the error "Failed to mount '/ data' and Unable to mount storage."
This is the same problem I have before flashing the no-verify "no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0" and "Magisk-v17.1" which I can fix with Wipe / Fortmat Data.
Another strange fact is that whenever you boot the custom Recovery TWRP on the first attempt the screen gets frozen, only when you boot again the TWRP works.

I would be able to flash the Xposed in Asus Zenfone 4 (Android 8.0.0) and install the framework? Or would I have problems at boot or some other problem?
I had this idea because I'm not getting Flash Xposed by TWRP as I described above.

This has nothing to do with flashfire

Would not it be possible to flash Xposed on Zenfone 4 ZE554Kl with the FlashFire app?

Not if you're using Magisk 17.1
I suggest you try installing the Xposed Framework Magisk module (last update Sept 20). And this is off topic for this thread.
