I confirm the complete opposite. The quality is WAY better, namely in night settings. I've been filming Madrid in my trip, at night, and there was nearly no lag, and it was crisp all the time. I recorded at 720p @ 24MBit due to space issues (1080p @ 30MBit eats a LOT of memory).
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthelaw10:
Hello guys,

now i have got a hd7 windows phone flashed with a custom ROM. (deep shining i think ...)

After the official mango update i had the first reset. The HTC-screen freezed and i couldnt do anything, so i reset my device. After that i installed a custom rom on my phone. Until now there are 8 months since the first reset and 5 hard resets. The resets werent made by me, the phone resets himself. So can you help me please ?? What can i do to stop this ?

I've already asked this in a german forum and they answered that the issue is my mini sd card ! So i tryed to change it today. I've did it but the phone didnt recongnized my new card. So i put the old card back. I looked at my new card and it was only a simple MINI SD CARD 2GB. The card of the device is MINI SD CARD HC 16GB. So my second question is, does only a mini sd HC card fit into the HD7 ?

I'v had some problems with my Galaxy S2 in the past especially with the EFS folder

I ended up having to replace the phone but now that I have a new one I would like to know some opinions of best practices to backup every aspect of the phone including my efs folder and anything that may go all together and or get corrupted, I read a few different practices to do this kinda stuff but I would like an overall opinion on which practices are the best.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
You can find some info on how to back up the efs, if you search around the forums.

To back up your current ROM, with everything in it, do a nandroid backup, from recovery mode, which you can restore later.

To back up your apps, with data, you can use Titanium Backup Pro.

To back up your SMS's, and call log, there are several apps on the market, i think lots of them work, use what fits you the best.

To back up your contacts/calendar, just use google contact sync.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Use Hellcat's kTool (available on Market) to backup your EFS. Keep one copy on your external SD card, and another on your PC. And if you're really paranoid (like me), another copy on a CD or DVD :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximoKnight:
Thanx, yes i have plenty of info by searches on how to back up, i just woul like ppls oppinion on preffered methods of backup from everyone so i can pick one and stick with it, ktool seems pretty good and i will cheked it out, thanx for the referance, any other to suggest or better?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Tools above are more than enough. For text messages I just use sms backup & restore, its free and always does the trick for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunrundong:
i think the second floor's answer is very good

if you are not satisfied with the answer ,you can flash MIUI ,in this rom

you can backup your information very easy :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NTOP:
I used sms backup & restore and works fine for the sms and it's great apps

Hi !

Sorry for my question, i am beginner in smartphones. I have i896, and i want update my standard android 2.2 rom to CM 7.1 (october version). Is it good idea?

GTA III. v1.2 has fps drops. Why?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornjamerican:
It's not a bad idea if you know what you're doing. Read the OP thoroughly before flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankariu:
Its a great idea. CM7 gets rid of all the bloatware plus allowing you to over clock to upto 1.7ghz. But first root your phone using super one click, install rom manager via market and flash clockwork mod recovery. Download the latest stable CM7 and place it in your sd card. Reboot into recovery and flash away

Ok, where did you get lost? :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
rom manager is worthless on the stock Galaxy S phones....especially on 2.2 which is what the OP stated he was on....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGT_Watkins:
This is what I am (was) on so what works if CWM doesn't?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Cwm works...ROM manager doesn't, they are different.

Use Odin to flash a kernel that has cwm included in it. Grab the .tar version and put on pda slot in Odin. Then just boot into recovery (which will now be cwm) and continue on to flash the ROM.

[Kindle Fire General] rcabls:
I was attempting to root my 6.2.1 and successfully had superuser installed and rooted. When I tried moving the Android Marketplace into the /system/apps/ folder it wouldn't appear so I checked all the write permissions and still no luck. I reverted back but must have deselected all of the permissions because now in my /systems/ folder the /app permissions are d---------.

The result is the Fire is stuck on the "Kindle Fire" boot screen and will go no further. When I try all of the fixes it prevents me from going into the adb shell as root, with either a "Stopped (signal)" or "Segmentation fault" error when I type in "su" or "su -".

None of the other tools such as zergRush work because they can't write to the file system and can't elevate to shell root in order to do so. This thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356257 doesn't work either because in order to gain temp root, it requires zergRush. Any help on gaining shell root would be appreciated and any additional details can be provided.
[Kindle Fire General] gagab1:
Did you try the lastest KF utility v.7? Your not alone with this problem...
[Kindle Fire General] enTRAPAG:
I'm in the same boat as you. I tried for 2 days to fix it to no avail and finally decided I was SOL without one of of these "factory cables". The other day I did a support chat with amazon and they are sending me a new kindle. My main gripe with the kindle is there is no way to easily factory reset because of the lack of hardware buttons. Think I'm gonna wait for a cyanogenmod 9 rom before I mess with the replacement... Good luck.
[Kindle Fire General] grandpasghost:
Had this problem last night

Already trying to hack your Christmas present?

I had this problem last night. Stuck on boot screen and powering down and up didnt fix. This is what what fixed it for me.

Go into CMD and type this, with the kindle connect via usb,

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
[Kindle Fire General] rcabls:
Used KF Utility 6

I haven't had success with v7 yet, but will try when I get back. I had trouble with KF Util on Windows 7 so went back to XP. Will try Ubuntu next because it's easier to navigate the command line. Is there any difference between v6 and 7 with respect to elevating shell privileges?
[Kindle Fire General] gagab1:
Yeah follow the command... I think we are stuck on fastboot!
[Kindle Fire General] jkibilko:
Well at least I'm not the only one who did this. Same issue... Tried to copy the marketplace APK and it wouldn't appear. Changed permissions and am now stuck at boot splash. Executing "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000" simply hangs at "<waiting for device>".
[Kindle Fire General] rcabls:
No shell root, no progress

I've tried unrooting with KF utility v7 to no avail. One problem could be that I had Burrito Root on the Fire prior to the bricking, but how I can remove it at this point is beyond me. I can't run the fastboot commands without being in shell root, and KFUtilityv7 doesn't work without those credentials.

Some errors: "(idme) Invalid permission"; "reboot: Operation not permitted". These are seen when I try to put it in recovery mode. FYI, my ADB status is online and my computer sees it, the ADB Rooted status says "No" and I'm in Boot Status 4000 (Normal).

When I try running BurritoRoot it goes through a process, says "Elevating the Shell" and then errors out with "adbd cannot run as root in production builds"

Then below this it says "Root Activated" and "The Kindle is successfully in root mode."

Here is the output from my attempts at installing Permanent Root with KFUtility v7:

***********************************************

* Root Activated *

***********************************************

The kindle is successfully running in root mode.

mount: Operation not permitted

***********************************************

***********************************************

Permanent root has been installed.

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Please be careful with how you use root.

It is HIGHLY recommended you have TWRP installed before using root.

****************************************************

At this point you can see the mount operations were not successful because you cannot gain root in the shell with su. I am going to try this through my Ubuntu build and see if I can gain privileges through Linux.
[Kindle Fire General] osozraz:
Hi. Same problem here. Changed the /system/app permissions by mistake and the Fire won´t pass the loading screen.

I think the only hope we have is that someone finds a way to root from adb.
[Kindle Fire General] jkibilko:
According to GregDDC:

I just don't have the dexterity to fashion my own cable.
[Kindle Fire General] InsertUniqueHandle:
I have the same problem. I get the boot-loop with the kindle fire logo. I can access the file system, but most commands give me a seg or permission error. ZergRush doesn't work so fast boot won't work.

I'm trying to get a factory programming cable off here or make my own. That should bypass the whole root issue and put you directly into fast boot so you can load a kindle rom or cm7 or whatever.
[Kindle Fire General] jkibilko:
Think I'll wait for my wife to go to work tomorrow so I can spend the day working on a cable without distraction. ;-)
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Seriously, you most likely don't need the Factory cable to fix your problems. Just do some more reading. There are more than enough threads on these issues to provide you with a clue on how to get out of or into what you are trying to do.
[Kindle Fire General] jkibilko:
Care to give us a clue on the solution then? I have scoured both this and other threads.
[Kindle Fire General] Vashypooh:
If you cant boot into the OS, you cant get root again.

If you cant boot into TWRP, you cant get it fixed.

If you were romping around with root, with no recovery installed, its likely bricked.

Get a factory cable, or send it back. Learn from the mistake and install a recovery.
[Kindle Fire General] jkibilko:
Exactly correct (unfortunately) Vasheypooh. At the crossroads of waiting for another temp root through adb our practice my soldering skills.
[Kindle Fire General] gagab1:
Factory cable will be the solution for me :) i'm from canada.
[Kindle Fire General] mitsumtnasu:
i've come to the same conclusion unfortunately. this is only my second attempt at rooting an android device and it's wildly different from the process for the previous device i was working with, so since the instructions i was using didn't mention installing a recovery, i failed to do that myself. my kindle is going to the "Your kindle had detected a problem and must clear App storage" on every boot and all attempts to communicate with it have failed. looks like a cable or a new device are my only options at this point. i will definitely be using a recovery of some kind from now on!
[Kindle Fire General] chillspider:
I have exact same issue. Can someone help. I can't get rooted using any of the tools available today.

HELP!
[Kindle Fire General] jcase:
This is because you changed the properties on all the files in /system.

Why would you do that?

su no longer has permissions to run.

If you can't get into recovery, you likely need a factory cable to fix.
[Kindle Fire General] chillspider:
Thanks for answer. So there is no way we can use command lines to access and regain permission?
[Kindle Fire General] jcase:
Not really.
[Kindle Fire General] chillspider:
Where and how do you get the factory cable? thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] chillspider:
OK, so I made myself a "factory cable" (from reading a lot on the web about this) by connect the +5V line from PIN 1 to PIN 4. Now what do I do.... I plugged it in to the Kindle, nothing seem to happen.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
maybe this thread would help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409383&

part of it:

You must insert cable, when switch off kindle by pressing button about 20sec and press once again, kindle will be in fastboot.

After kindle will be in fastboot, with Kindle Fire Utility v.6 install TWRP recovery and with recovey install stock or CM7 firmaware.

Hmm, my PC can't recognize my KF when I plug my factory cable in (connect to PC). It show the KF logo on the booting screen, and stand still (it was flashing before using normal USB cable). I double checked on the wiring, it should be correct. The light on the power button lit up GREEN and stay there. My PC said it couldn't recognize the device. Anything wrong? Any ideas?

does your pc make a noise if you power the KF off (hold button till display is dark) and then power on (the typical ding-ding) ? could be that is the nomal behavior in this mode - tried to install twrp ?

just a try - i remebered something

power off KF (pwr ~20sec) - disconnect

do you have the latest KFU ?

overwrite the file in the drivers directory with mine and try to use the drivers from the utility - maybe with install_drivers.bat

connect the kf (don't power on - will power on by itself)

select the new driver manually if you can (look at date/time)

let's see - it's just a try

[Kindle Fire General] cprinslo:
Thank you!!!

Thanks a million to this forum and its advice for helping me preserve my sanity! I live in South Africa and purchased my Fire via a contact in the US. I was happy to sacrifice access to certain Amazon content and was borderline about how I felt about being restricted to the Amazon Market for apps. When I received the device though I discovered that I couldn't purchase apps (even free ones) via the Amazon Market unless I had a US credit card. This led me to investigate various dubious methods using fake credit card numbers etc. But none seemed favourable. In the end I tried a for alternative Markets, but even these seemed shaky. Eventually I sensed I would have to root the device and sideways load the Android Market to get anthing useful out of the Fire in South Africa. I managed to do that without problem but the Market would regularly Force Close and one forum suggested it should be moved to the System folder. I tried to do this and in the process tried to set the rights to the folder. The Fire became unstable and I tried a reboot... big mistake. With the rights set on the folder I couldn't boot into the Fire and although I could see the device via ADB I couldn't change the rights as I no longer had root access and I couldn't do anything else useful. Eventually I came upon this forum after a lot of misleading and conflicting info on other sites about trying to sieze root access again via a Zerg Rush etc. By the way... anothermistake I had made was to not immediately install a recovery ROM... ; / My only option was to make a cable (not as difficult as it sounds) and then push a recovery ROM to the Fire. Managed then to reset the folder rights and Bob's your Uncle I was back in business. I was still limited by the Fire's native ability so eventually pushed a Cyanogen7Mod ROM to the device and am now very happy with the device. Stable and does everything a budget tablet should be able to do. Thanks everyone!

[Kindle Fire General] orsonwang:
I was managed to brick for changing the system.db without writing back correct permission, after reboot KF, it loops at booting animation.

My situation is file system was not correctly mounted.

Here’s my solution

1. You need correct driver that can use ADB and fastboot

2. You need SuperOneClick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

3. You need fbmode, please download it to ADB directory of SuperOneClick. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=833582&d=1325144494

4. Run SuperOneClick, click root, it will popup a message if you already rooted, click yes to move on and wait for its failure.

5. After SuperOneClick stalled, go to cmd mode and switch to SuperOneClick\ADB, run following command.

adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode

adb shell /data/local/tmp/fbmode

adb reboot

issue following fastboot command after kindle fire reboot

fastboot -i 0×1949 -w

fastboot -i 0×1949 oem idme bootmode 0×4000

fastboot -i 0×1949 reboot

Everything will back to factory value after reboot.
