[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
No takers? :(

I can post some example sound files, if anyone thinks it would help...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subcypher:
I'm not sure what you tell you, man. I don't flash my boot animations. I simply add .bak to the end of the current bootanimation.zip file and replace it with one I found and liked. As for the sounds, I did the .bak on the current one and then replaced the .wav with an mp3 I found for a boot sound. I don't know what either one are encoded in. They simply worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnagecjb:
Well, I get the same problem when I manually replace them as you do. :(

As far as I can tell, the problem is pretty much exclusively due to the sound files.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] slipkn0t:
This guide will tell you how to install the apps from amazon.com from your Android phone if you live outside the US. Now you can enjoy the Free App Of The Day from Amazon.com

Step 0: First go to www.amazon.com and click Sign In.

Step 1: Create a new Amazon account by selecting “No, I am a new customer”, and complete the registration wizard.

Step 2: Put US Address and Phone Number. Just enter any number starting with +1. Easier than that, you can just enter +1!

*Alternatively, you can generate random US address and phone number, etc. with www.fakenamegenerator.com

Step 3: Assign US address as account’s 1-click default address.

Step 4: Next, go to “Add a Credit or Debit Card” section. Paypal provides developers with sets of test credit card account numbers which can also be used in Amazon account. USE THIS CREDIT CARD NUMBER 378282246310005 (AMERICAN EXPRESS)

Step 5: Your Amazon account is now configured to get any free apps from Amazon AppStore

Step 6: Now you can download and install Amazon AppStore for Android. Run Amazon AppStore App and login with this new username/password. Now you can download all free apps from Amazon.

NOTE1: You will still not be able to purchase any paid apps (apps which are not free) with these test credit cards.

NOTE2: It is highly recommended to make a new user rather than using US address in preexisting usernames.

Note3: So, to buy an app...Purchase the app in the Appstore on the Amazon website or on your device - the initial payment will fail

Visit the Digital Orders Page page and you will see your pending purchases

Choose the option to retry the purchases, this time using your non-US card

The payments will complete and you will be able to download the apps on your device.

I already tried all this for hours but The apps just wouldn't be available.. I can remember it was asking some number.. Which i couldn't get to add there.. I guess it was some kind of code .
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] slipkn0t:
did you enter a US phone number from the fakenamegenerator ?

or maybe you didnt enable the 1 click settings.

Just check...if possible, tell me the exact error and we'll try to resolve it :)

"We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase."

For the ones who are able to get it to work, can you share what data you chose? Like which CC number, what the address is, etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Joel Chan:
Tried this for some time and I finally got it! Ok for the address, I prefer to search it off the Web. Just search "random California address" on Google etc. The rest of the details, go to fakenamegenerator. Remember, when they ask for mobile number, it must be in this format "+1222333444". You must include the +1 for it to work :)

Hit thanks if I helped :D

[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] slipkn0t:
one more thing guys...in the credit card section, pick the AMERICAN EXPRESS cards from the paypal website. I think the other cards are from other countries.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] Joel Chan:
Just use gakenamegenerator :)

Thanks!

I would hit that Thank button if i knew how :(

Edit: found it :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] LfcFan1977:
Thanks for the info.

I think I have set up my account properly but after;

1. clicking the get app button

2. adding the mobile number that was confirmed in the registration email I recieved.

3. clicking the go button

Nothing happens. That pop up box does not disappear and I don't recieve the email with the app link.

Have tried from my phone and laptop, both with wifi connections.

Anybody got any advice/ideas?

[edit]

:o Missing step 6 wasn't the brightest thing I've ever done.

Thanks again for this

[edit]

:( Tried three different accounts created using fakenamegenerator but app download fails due to payment verification.

I used the card type and number from [OP] but what should I have put for expiration date and cardholder's name?

[Solved]

Changed the cardholder name to title, initials and surname. Editted the expire date to under 12 months.

Download and install completed.

A bit fiddly but well worth it.

Thank you very much.

[HD2 General] The Mall:
Hi, first of all I'm new here and I'm a complete noob/ignorant, my English is not going to be great and I might have infringed some rule/s with the title of this thread, but I just couldn't think of a better title.

I know you're going to tell me I should've read guides, tutorials, etc, but all this is very new and complicated to me, I'm sorry. I'd appreciate a lot some help, some tips.

The problem seems simple at first: My girlfriend just bought a used HTC HD2 (my idea..), because that's exactly what I did some months ago (with a great success). My idea was to flash TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 on it, because it's the ROM I use and it works very well. The problem is: This used HD2 had already been flashed and it has this ROM running (Tonofu HD 1.3). When I flashed mine I used the PC program "Easy Android" so it was very easy, whereas this one already has Android, MAGLDR 1.13 and all that stuff, so it's not like doing it from the beginning, from the factory-state. Know what I mean? I don't know how to do it from this point.

We downloaded the app ROM Manager but when we tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it asks us to "Confirm Phone Model" and only HTC Desire appears in that list.

So I said, OK, let's try install ClockworkMod manually (because it's not installed, it seems). And here comes the BIG problem, neither the laptop nor the PC recognize the phone through the USB cable. We tried on both computers, all the ports... and nothing, absolutely nothing appears on the screen. So, of course, when we got into MAGLDR and chose the USB Mass Storage option (so we could install CWM manually) we couldn't do it.

So... how could I install the ROM I want when the phone has already a ROM running? How could I do that without connecting the phone to a computer through USB? Or do you know what might be causing this USB problem? Would a factory reset fix this USB issue? Would it be easier to install the ROM after a factory reset?

A lot of questions, I know... but I need help... I don't have a lot of time... :( Thank you.

this is what you need if you only need to manually install cwm.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok for some reason I can not get the HTC Mania site to load on my laptop or my Sensation. So I can not see if that ROM that is flashed via a DAF and option #5 USB Flasher in MAGLDR. But if the HD2 does not have CWM installed on it then it must be one. Also if The Mall has went to both option #2 SD AD and option #8 AD Recovery in MAGLDR and there is now recovery then the process that geniusjl discribed will not work as it is no CWM to flash CWM with. Besides if CWM is already installed The Mall would not have this problem.

Now back to the original question of what to do. First go and download the HD2 NAND Toolkit. Install the toolkit on you computer and open it up. Look at the bottom right corner of the toolkit window and click on Download Drivers and then follow the instructions to install the drivers. This will allow your computer to recognize the HD2 when you plug it up via USB. Next click on MAGLDR Update Recovery at the top of the toolkit window and then connect you HD2 via USB to your computerand click on update at the bottom left hand cornewr of the toolkit window. Follow all the on screen instructions and this will flash CWM 4.0.0.0 to your HD2. Then you can download the ROM you want and place it on the root of your SD card and use CWM to flash it.
[HD2 General] The Mall:
Thanks! I'm going to try.
[HD2 General] The Mall:
Damn.. we have a problem, we installed the Toolkit but when clicking on Download Drivers the link is broken. (cdn.nex.im/hd2_installer/download/hd2_drivers_ksubedi.zip)

Do you know another site we can download the drivers from?

Edit: I finally found this source: mediafire.com/?jf8xbyo2ro0z01z

Edit2: No, that's not it... damn, I need somewhere to download the drivers from.
[HD2 General] The Mall:
I can't find any website to download the drivers from. HD2 NAND Toolkit takes me to a broken link so I can't download them. Help, please?
[HD2 General] geniusjl:
i was under the impression that this HD2 has MAGLDR and everything from the original post.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

i am running clk on my HD2. my first NAND rom was tyween's TyphooN rom. I just followed his instructions. and everything worked.

navigate to "clean install cLK", download the package. and you will find the driver included in the package. that driver should work too.

[HTC Amaze 4G] big70tom:
I searched and couldn't find the answer to this, possibly because it's a stupid question, but here goes. THE Amaze with 48 hspa, does it receive faster data speeds while using Wi-Fi? Or does that only translate to cellular speeds?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Cellular data. Is it faster than wifi? Depends on your internet provider. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
No, wifi is the same. 4g is faster than other phones - when you are in 4g coverage.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Here in the Vancouver area I don't know if we actually have 4G coverage (although my 4G icon seems to think so) but there is no question that my wifi connection is faster than my data connection. Waaaaaay faster than my Hero was on wifi. Don't know if that's because the Hero was only "g" whereas the Amaze is "n." When I'm connected through wifi most apps are downloaded and installed practically instantly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Here in Soviet Russia... Man is faster than 4g!

I'm jk but yes, the hardware for the amaze is better for wifi and cellular data then some of the older models. The op was asking about the hardware relating to cellular data though, which is not related to wifi. But as binary mention it depends on your isp and strength of your router. The g and n doesnt really give you faster download speed, but the difference in signal strength does. g and n gives you faster data transfer between devices connected to the network.
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
edit: Kindle Fire fastboot working. Allows for reflashing ROMs and booting over USB.

Recommended that you have your kindle already opened so that you can get to the battery cable to hard reset if necessary.

Instructions to follow.
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
I dont have a gingerbread build handy, is there another dev that can build me a fastboot.exe to include 0x1949?

I think my fire is stuck in fastboot mode.
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
NVM on the fastboot.exe request, I have a working one.

fastboot mode is confirmed .. i have a fastboot talking to the fire. It shows up in 'fastboot devices' (the id is 0123456789abcdef), and responds to reboot & boot commands.

Now trying to boot out of fb mode, I should have set the 'other' nvram bootmode
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
NOTE: Instructions are terse and intended towards developers for now.

Standard disclaimer, I am not liable if you brick your fire.

Requisities:

- working adb, (on windows) with the additional %SingleBootLoaderInterface% entry mentioned

- working fastboot binary that recognizes / allows specifying the vendor id (0x1949)

- root. it may work without, but you probably want or have it already

Also recommended:

- boot.img from the latest sw update.

Procedure:

- get a adb shell

- use the '/system/bin/idme' command to set the bootmode. I suggest you first run 'idme ?' and write down your default, mine is "4000 0".

- if you set bootmode to 0x4002, the fire will stay in fastboot mode when it reboots

- if you set bootmode to 0x4003, it's supposed to timeout from fastboot mode, but I did not have much luck getting a normal boot after the timeout (did not play too much here).

- if you decide you dont want fastboot mode, run 'idme bootmode "4000 0"' to reset back to default for normal booting.

WARNING:

IF YOU REBOOT AT THIS POINT THE FIRE WILL BE IN THE FASTBOOT MODE. I HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO EXIT THIS MODE AND RETURN TO THE NORMAL OS WITHOUT A WORKING FASTBOOT CLIENT.

REPEAT:

YOU MAY BE BRICKED IF YOU DONT HAVE WORKING TOOLS.

When you boot into fastboot mode, it will show the "Kindle Fire" logo. The power button does not appear to do anything; therefore, if you boot a bad kernel/image it may get stuck and require a hard reset (pulling the battery cable).

You should now have access to the standard flashboot functionality (update, flash, usb boot, etc). Note that reboot-bootloader will bring you back to fastboot.

I currently use 'fastboot boot boot.img' (from the sw update) to get back to a working state. Once booted, use idme to disable fastboot.

Now, on to recovery's & custom roms!
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
so any more information on the "special usb cable" like what size resistor on pin 4?
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
I dont have hardware handy to determine this, but having a cable will definitely make things easier going forward.

Brief updates..

Unlike previously mentioned, it looks like long press power button typically should work.

The idme command is available in the bootloader. So you can set normal bootup mode from fastboot, then reboot. eg.

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

Stuck in fastboot

Hello,

I followed these steps including adding the %SingleBootLoaderInterface% line mentions to the usb inf. I was able to get the Kindle Fire to set bootmode to 0x4002.

I downloaded fastboot from here, 32-bit only?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=463627

Tried to get fastboot 64-bit via this route, no good:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4551-guide-making-fastboot-work-on-64-bit-windows-7-systems/

Now that it's in bootmode, neither my x64 PC or x86 Mac can see the device via a recent fastboot.exe and fastboot-mac application using a standard mini-USB cable. Suggestions? Is there a different fastboot.exe that I should be using?
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:

[Kindle Fire General] richardg42:
Played with the 0x4003 fastboot "countdown" mode a bit. Seems like it is timing out of fastboot, but not continuing to boot up the rest of the way. After a few seconds the kindle fire logo goes away and the device no longer responds to fastboot commands. Waited maybe a minute or so after it left fastboot and it didn't boot. Though since you found that we can set the bootmode value from fastboot it doesn't really matter.

Also have been playing around with attempting to get my fire to boot a modified boot image. So far I've simply extracted the kernel/initrd from the 6.1 update boot.img and repacked it without modifications. Unfortunately the Fire refused to boot the resulting image.

Going to continue fiddling.
[Kindle Fire General] richardg42:
Well managed to successfully repack a boot.img.

The problem i was facing was caused by 2 issues while running mkbootimg.

1) Derped and didn't specify the correct page size (4096)

2) Needed to include a base address of 0x80000000.
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
wait i'm stuck in the phase where it times out after the kindle logo and it doesn't respond to fastboot commands... what did you do to get out of that?

any help would be GREATLY appreciated before my battery dies. i have my clockwork port saved on the sdcard!

or if somebody can upload their fastboot binary

edit: got it, i needed to specify the vendor id as mentioned on the bottom of page one

thanks to those who were trying to help me (although probably nobody as it's 3am...)
[Kindle Fire General] richardg42:
I did a long press of the power button and it turned off. Then before turning it back on i ran:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

Let it sit in "waiting for device" and powered the kindle back on.

Attached my fastboot binary for linux if it's useful for you. It's compiled from AOSP with the 0x1949 vendorid added in.
[Kindle Fire General] srish2:
I don't have the -i option on my version of fastboot. Could you post a windows version of the one you're using?

Edit: found version of fastboot.exe that supports -i in SDK_r07.

I can't post outside links yet, but here's the URL:

code.google.com/p/softy-warely/downloads/detail?name=android-sdk_r07-windows.zip&can=2&q=

Thanks death2all110. Got it to reboot to break out of the fastboot cycle.

New question:

I did fastboot -i 0x1949 boot recovery.img (from the Kindle 6.1 update) and now I can't fastboot back in to break out of the fastboot cycle again:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

< waiting for device >
[Kindle Fire General] JackpotClavin:
I'm giving CM7 a shot right now. Gonna fastboot flash the system.img generated as well as the boot.img although I doubt this will work
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
I dont think it'll hurt to try.. FWIW I didnt see anythign obvious in the source or from quick googling for the specs. Didnt spend a lot of effort on it though.
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
Yeah I am going to play with existing gingerbread builds as well because I dont think ICS will ever finish building on my machine!

I am planning on just flashing system.img and then usb boot with the stock kindle kernel / boot.img.
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
It didnt do anything, I found a Micro USB for LG Devices with selectable resistance. But I might buy an actual USB jig for the SGS2 but i dont want to waste my money on it if it doesn't work...

Hmm. Theres gotta be a way...
[Kindle Fire General] transfuntioner:
careful flashing

This may be known to experienced android devs but I thought I'd mention as I am not & just ran into it.

When you flash an individual partition you're limited by the ram, in this case the image size needs to be less than the value reported.

fastboot getvar downloadsize

downloadsize: 1d0000000

So around 486 megs.. just some extras steps needed if you're working with the 512M system partition.

Sprinkle: This game can now run on our device and it looks outstanding. Def try it.

Shadow gun: This game is one of the best looking games I've seen on a phone yet. It also now runs on devices such as our phone. Shadow gun needs a extra download of a few hundred megs, so make sure you have data or wifi.

Both of these games play great with our screen size and the controls are not in the way of game play like they would be on a smaller screen.
