[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Sorry for the double post, but I feel this is a new development and thus worthy of it's own post:

...I get the stangest of things. After Intalling Cannibal Recovery and then installing TWRP back -this time around- it worked. For no apparent reason -at all- (before that I was trying countless time to flash TWRP over TWRP but it was never working). Of course I cannot flash roms still, as before, and firekit is not much of an aid at this point.

I suspect my flash memory is problematic in a HW level. If that is so could/would I be able to repartition it avoiding its faulty parts?

update: Through parted I found out that the /data partition was unformated (possibly damaged disk), so I reformatted it between 1192 and 1492 in ext2. I tried to enable the ext4 features but it was to no avail. I tried -then- to mount data and finally it was mounted. Then I installed a Rom, everything went well but of course the Rom was going ultra-slow during boot up, so I thought there's sth wrong with the partition I made. Back to parted, but this time around I could not make a single partition between 849 and 2041, as if the whole stretch was/is riddled with dead cells... So I'm at my wit's end.

The rest of the partitions seems to work fine but in a dying medium for how longer that be the case? Also I was thinking to "migrate" /data in a different place (say from 2142 to 3200) and make the media partition smaller. But would that even work? Or is it going to start throwing errors? (up until now the media partition -sdcard- works fine but after parted I'm not sure it'd continue doing so). So what can I do?

Can I even claim this thing's warranty? (other than installing Jandycane Rom I never really experimented with stuff, all the above things I've learnt in the stretch of the last two days or so)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raywaldo:
Troubleshooting and warranty

The first thing you will need to do is to return the device to pure STOCK. This will enable to you to determine whether the problem is with the device or your attempts at hacking.

After you return to stock, if you continue to experience issues, then you should be able to use any warranty that you have left. You should not return the device to Amazon with anything on it except the stock OS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Thanks. For the time being I've managed to have my Kindle back into a -relatively- working order though.

My internal flash memory is riddled with errors (bad sectors?), for no apparent reason no less. But I found a good 400MB patch of flash memory and moved my /data partition there. Now my kindle boots but my "media" partition, is too small all the while I have only a tiny allowance for apps (my /data is only 400mb).

Do any of you guys know how to test -fix even- the parts of my internal flash memory which are bad and if that won't work maybe I can tell parted to ignore them altogether. Can I do that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raywaldo:
fix for memory

There is no "fix" for bad memory except to mark it so that the OS will ignore it and skip it when writing data. That is typically done by low-level partitioning. My reading suggests that the best way may be to return to pure stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
That's *exactly* what I need.

If I go back to stock (even if it would work) there's no guarantee that I would be able ever to go back to custom roms, or is there?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raywaldo:
bad memory

There are no "guarantees" on any of this stuff! ;)

But, there is a reasonably good chance that doing a full return to stock will clear (block out) the bad sectors. There is also a good chance that that will allow you to flash a custom rom.

BUT... You mentioned "warranty" so, if you find that there are a lot of bad sectors, I would return the device for a replacement.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
OK... but I'd guess my question would be: What makes "return to stock" capable of blocking out "bad sectors"? If it's a specific command let me try it w/t having to return to stock.

If not what what may well do would be to hard brick my kindle, because what stock does is to revert partitions to what they were (in places of memory which are filled with bad blocks) but *also* delete FFF and recovery leaving me unable either to access ADB or Fastboot, w/t those two tools my hands and legs would be tied, wouldn't be they? *That* is mostly why I'm so reluctant to return to stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raywaldo:
See my article about the process of UNBRICK, stock, and Jelly Bean.

Sorry about that. I follow too many threads here on xda. :)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] aloy99:
Is it just me, or is the CWM recovery download unavailable o.o
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stevethegreat:
Can't, returning to stock predictably bricked my Fire (*exactly* as I predicted). Given that I have/had a dying eMMC the tablet was unable to boot (/data partition was/is "spread" over dead blocks, sth I could "override" in custom roms but not in stock).

Given that the stock rom killed FFF and TWRP (as I knew it would do) I could not access fastboot and adb was of limited functionality too as stock is not rooted. With neither of those tools (and /data corrupt) naturally I'm stuck in boot screen with nothing I can do about it.

Of course I was almost sure that all of this could/would happen (as I hinted in my prior post where I expressed my skepticism against your recommendation) but I did it all the same because apparently it's the only way to retrieve a new Kindle Fire through the use of my warranty. Amazon was kind enough to replace it and soon enough I would have a new KF.

But let this serve as a warning to anyone who has a dying eMMC and is out of warranty, do not and I repeat do *not* return to stock, it's the worst thing one can do and it will single-handedly kill (hard brick) your Fire. Use a rooted rom instead and try to repartition the tablet using the last part of eMMC that may be working as the new "home" of your partitions. That's what I did and it was the only way through which I was able to gain function of my tablet, if it was not for warranty it'd probably leave my tablet at that - again do not revert to stock if you're out of warranty with a dying eMMC...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] raywaldo:
Thanks the report.

Glad that Amazon is replacing the device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Limadawg:
Not sure what's going on with my fire. I had it rooted and aliendroid installed and decided to go back to stock. Put the 6.3.1 update zip on the fire and booted up in twrp recovery and installed the update zip. Now the fire boots to lockscreen and if left alone it goes back to kindle fire screen then back to lock screen and over and over. If I unlock the device it throws up 2 or 3 force closes the back to the kindle fire screen and so on. May be toast, I don't know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Your problem is very common when returning to stock a full wipe is needed because now it is left trying to handle the data left behind, which likely it cannot. You have two options, one being race your kindle before it FC's to factory restore and restore it. Second option acquire a factory cable to force it into fastboot so you can send fff and twrp back to the device to enter recovery do a full wipe and flash a rom.

Im running Glorious Overdose V2 but I had this issue with other roms as well for some reason my touchscreen sometimes doesnt respond. In order for it to start working again I have to lock and unlock my phone sometimes it happens frequently and other times it doesnt. Any tips on how to fix this issue?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dcontrol:
Sorry no tips on how to fix, but I'm running stock and it happens to me too. I though it might have to do with my crappy screen protector or me somehow messing with the optical trackball, but it seems not since you're experiencing the same issue.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] azcledel:
Its a hardware problem. Samsung claims its a software problem but I doubt it. It happens to me all the time and I've posted threads about it as well.

What I have found is that any sweat or liquid on your fingers that gets left behind on the screen causes it to act sporadically. All you can do is constantly clean your screen when the phone is locked.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
i have this problem, but i have noticed its only after iv gotten my hands wet. i kinda figured it was 1$ screen protector.

hi carlos as i tell you i check the audio from bluetooth with the "motorola s9 normal headphones" and the razr, the phone calls was excellent and the controls work (hang up, hang off, vol+, vol-, voice command), at music it sounds great but they have a few lags ( i think is because the buffer than razr had to make to send data package to the headphones) the quality of the music was excellent at 10mts of distances, at internet radio i had listened Universal stereo @ 48k mp3 from source and the quality works great and i have less lags than my music stored on my device i hope that information helps you greetings!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rquinn19:
Not when buying from ATT...not only do they overcharge, but they don't include the screen protector. Buy with OB retail packaging online.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
not true. I bought mine retail from AT&T store. Came with protectors. I also haggled the guy on the price. He was looking for $40 + tax. I showed him I could get it for $22 shipped online. I told him give it to be for $30 straight up and we have a deal. Walked out with it for $30. Love the case. It adds a small amount of weight and thickness to the phone (in a good way). Without it I found I'd easily have the phone slip out of my hands because of the thinness off the phone. This case adds enough to the phone. My only gripe is it's a PITA to put back on after you take it off (getting the rubber part to line up with the hardware buttons)

[LG Optimus 2x] oglop:
hi all

i have got an iphone 4 from a friend , and my old lg optimus 2x has been in drawer for several month.

my setup plan:

twonkyMedia server running on my Qnap TS-109 NAS ( running successfully but not supporting transcoding on the fly )

connect lg optimus 2x to a sony 40' LCD TV via hdmi cable ( an old model doesn't support DLNA , not an internet tv) , and use it as a DLNA renderer.

use iphone as a DLNA control point ( remote control for the optimus 2x, haven't decided which app to buy , maybe plugplayer)

so in the end , lg optimus 2x works as a media player , always connected to tv, and iphone as a remote control. qnap nas box as DLNA / UPNP server

But here comes the problem:

initially i was on cyanogenmod 7.1 final, i tried connecting the phone to tv via hdmi cable, there is no image , only sound. ok after searching i found that hdmi output has not been implemented in cyanogen roms.

then i found that new GB stock rom is supposed to support mkv container, then i flashed to this rom on xda

[ROM] 1 Nov V20l: Stock Gingerbread for ClockworkMod (rooted / rooted+deodex)

since i was on cyanogen , i also managed to convert from ext4 to ext 3, after flashing, i was back on stock rom , and hdmi ouput is back, video and sound are both working fine. i installed bubble upnp app from android market and i can see my twonky server and play video files. but most of my movies are 720p mkv, the stock video player doesn't support these containers, ( why ? i read somewhere that the stock player is the only player support mkv hardware accelerated playback ) , ok then i tried various video players on android market, dice player , mobo player etc ... both lagging. the most promising one is mx video player (they say they support tegra2 optimized hw acceleration ) , but if i turn on hw acceleration , it says hw mode is not supported on my file ( i tried several 720p mkv, both the same error ) however , sw fast mode works but video stutters and audio is out of sync, at last i tried flashing a oc kernel HorsePower rc 10 to oc to 1500MHz, it plays smoother, but still stutters a little bit and audio still out of sync.

searching on the forum reveals that Korean v10s rom already support 4.1 hp mk hw playback, why my v20l doesn't support it ?

then i found on xda forum

[ROM] 18/Nov Gr5 V20l: MoDaCo Custom ROM for the LG Optimus 2X

some reply in the hread shows this rom support 720p mkv, i went to modaco forum, but found no clue whether it support it or not. haven't tried this rom, maybe tonight.

so after such a long trip. is it possible to play 4.1 hp 720p mkv on lg optimus 2x without flashing to Korean rom ?

am i doing anything wrong ? i mean latest GB stock rom should already support 720p mkv right ? but on my v20l, it says unsupported file if i play it with stock player.

edit: i know products like playon!hd mini 2 is the recommeded solution but i want to get best use of what i have now.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
h264 with l4.1 videos are only partially supported by the hw decoder.

Most tv-series I have tried on the o2x have worked (high bitrate ones tend to have some minor stuttering, and the web-dl versions of big bang theory crash the video-decoder after about 1 minute of otherwise flawless playback).

With movies however many things simply refuse to play (while others work), this is probably due to that the video decoder in the tegra2 chip is not fully l4.1 compliant, I have not really found any info on what it's exact limits are though.

edit: this is with v20L

on my i5 2300 8g windows 7 machine, it took about 22min to convert.

is it supposed to be faster ? without re-transcoding the video, only the audio from ac3 to aac ? or did i use the wrong settings for handbrake ( i doubt ) , the file size is drastically smaller after conversion .

GENERAL INFORMATION

This is Calkulin's stock rooted EL13 2.3.6 ROM/Kernel, with Rogue Recovery v1.1.2.

The only modifications I made were adding Rogue Recovery v1.1.2 to Calkulin's ROM, and modified the updater-script to format /data.

I made this for my own personal use, and thought I would share it in case anyone else was interested in it. I'm not trying to get rich and famous, claim anything as my own, or even do anything even remotely amazing or interesting here. If I possibly saved you a couple of minutes by downloading and flashing one .zip instead of two, that is why this is here. I'm not interested in how many people give me thanks or donations or anything like that, I just thought I'd try to put this out there if it might be helpful to anyone.

If your not interested in this, that is fine with me. This really isn't anything special and may not be much help to you. I get that. I'm not interested in cluttering things up with negative posts.
