The firmware extraction fails with "Error 70 : Write error : cannot write decoded block" when unpacking SM-S938B after SM-S916B. The main firmware extraction consumes 6-8GB, leaving insufficient space for lz4 to decompress the next firmware's super.img (requires 3GB for streaming: 1-2GB compressed input + 1-2GB decompression buffer).

Changes

Debug Infrastructure

  • Added LOG_DEBUG function that outputs when DEBUG_BUILD=true (enabled via --debug flag)
  • Added debug logging at key extraction points: container contents, disk space checks, extraction operations

Disk Space Management

  • Check 3GB availability before lz4 decompression in FETCH_FILE
  • Automatic cleanup on low space: remove tmp_* files owned by current user only
  • Between-firmware cleanup after each extraction (main → extra → stock)

Error Detection

  • Pattern match lz4-specific errors: Error [0-9]+ : Write error
  • Report available disk space when write errors occur

Implementation

# Before lz4 decompression
if ! CHECK_DISK_SPACE "$out_dir" 3; then
    # Safe cleanup: only script-created temp files, current user only
    find /tmp -type f -name "tmp_*" -user "$(whoami)" -delete
    find "$out_dir" -type f -name "tmp_*" -delete
    
    # Recheck after cleanup
    CHECK_DISK_SPACE "$out_dir" 3 || return 1
fi

The cleanup is conservative: never uses rm -rf /tmp/*, only removes files matching tmp_* pattern owned by current user, with 5-minute age threshold for /tmp to protect concurrent operations.
