[Kindle Fire General] Ligusss:
So i may have bricked my Kindle Fire. I rooted it successfully, did not install TWRP or anything similar. Installed the Android Market but could not get it to work so i "deleted from device" from my carousel and my Kindle turned off and couldnt turn back on :( Then I attempted the Kindle Unbrick Tool and tried that, but it seemed that it could not find my Kindle on my computer (I'm running windows vista) Even when i plug in the usb it doesnt make the happy little noise it makes when you plug in something. I went to device manager and saw that it was recognizing it both as "Android" and under portable devices, "Kindle" or a few times it came up as "L" which is the usb port I had it plugged into.

tldr; Unbricking tool is not "finding" my Kindle on my computer :( Also I'm kind of a n00b at this, as far as running codes and whatnot.:confused:

side note: My kindle is also low on battery at the moment. I have it charging right now, so maybe that's a factor?. When I turn it on, I get the Kindle fire logo but no animation, it still stays lit after that screen as if it's still on but nothing happens..Any advice would be appreciated ^.^:D
[Kindle Fire General] scrols:
Hey, My kindle got stuck in fastboot too. It wasnt recognized by KFU and unbricking tool. Here is how I managed to recover to normal boot: Remove the drivers in device manager and reboot your stuck kindle fire, but do not unplug it (just hold power button for pretty long time till it shuts down, then just turn it on). Windows should recognize some device. now install adb drivers and launch KFU. If it sees your fire you are good to go, if not just try changing bootmode to 4000 as if it was recognized. BUT this worked for me. I do not know if it will work for you! I take no responsibility or whatsoever. Good luck sir. Do not give up:-)
[HTC Rezound] md303:
This is something odd I haven't experienced with any Android device until now.

Whenever my Rezound battery is depleted to the point where the phone shuts down, I cannot get the device to boot back up again without ADB.

While it's powered off in this state and plugged into charger, it exhibits no charge LED or any other type of activity.

After pressing the power button, it appears to do nothing whatsoever.

If plugged into my laptop USB, the OS detects the device and loads the Debug mode drivers. ADB DEVICES shows the device as being in Recovery, and the device is still completely dark, no video, no backlight, no button lights.

At this point I can ADB SHELL and issue commands, but it can take up to a dozen REBOOT commands (although sometimes on the first or second try) to get the device to do anything other than reboot directly back to dark-screen recovery. I just keep running REBOOT until finally the white/green HTC image appears and the phone boots normally as if nothing was wrong.

Once booted, it behaves perfectly for as long as the battery doesn't die. I can reboot, HBOOT, power off and on, do a Clockwork backup... But, if i let the battery die, I have to ADB REBOOT until it decides to come back to life.

What do you think. Hardware or software issue? Try RUU?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
there's definietley a huge problem wtih this phone. i had a guy bring in a phone that died overnight and the same thing happend...he'd plug it into the wall, for 5 seconds it would show orange charging LED, then just shut off..phone wouldn't power on, either. he had it plugged in charging for 3 hours though, and the phone was still dead.

when i switched batteries, teh phone would not go past the white HTC screen. it was just dead. we had to get him a replacement. i'm seriously afraid to shut off my phone now or even let it die. sigh.
[HTC Rezound] md303:
Oh yea, mine does the not booting past white HTC screen occasionally between REBOOTs as well. I am disappointed with HTC now, my original AMOLED Incredible was totally rock solid for the 2 years I carried it along 40+ airplane rides to 11 different states. This Rezound craps the bed if you give it a dirty look :mad:
[HTC Rezound] dtorrez1883:
Everyone should take a look at this thread in the Vivid forum. People were havin problems with their phone booting into CWM when the battery was dead, me included. Our CWM was updated to support charging and now all is fine. Might be worth looking into.

The 801MHz build is unstable. So try running your processor at a lower speed.

763MHz seems stable enough.

I am also facing this problem... only at 734MHz my phone works fine !
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] franco077:
I don't understant :S... I have already reinstalled the Rom and done a wipe data and cache and now it's in 600mhz. And it turned off again :/

But... I did other wipe data and cache. And I haven't had other turn off so far :S

But... I'm going to install 768mhz overclock ^^

Thanks you for answer!! and sorry for my bad english :S

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idotdot:
Hello,

I recently rooted my phone first time and installed passion 10.6. I had a few questions and problems and was wondering if someone could help?

1. My battery only lasts for 3 hours and in the Battery settings page the chart shows that the Android system has taken up 50% of the battery. Drilling down into that I see that most of that is due to 'Keep Awake'.I see other users report 20 hours of life on this forum.

2. My GPS navigation does not work at all though the places application call mark my location in seconds.

3. The four touch buttons come on after any notification on the phone and stay lit. For example, if I get an e-mail they come on and stay lit.

4. The phone signal bars show an H next to it and not 3g like I used to see on the stock Samsung 2.2 OS.

Any solutions to this?

This is such a great OS and I wish someone could help solve these issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Number 3 & 4 are features, not issues, the gps is always hit it miss on any rom, works for some, not all. Places find your location based on the network, doesn't necessarily need the gps. With the battery your phones not going into deep sleep, not sure why, i used to have to reboot every time i charged to get my phone to sleep right.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idotdot:
Thanks. I guess. I'll just try out another ROM now that I'm hooked and try passion back in a few days.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmkjr:
There are many different takes throughout the thread to fix your GPS and deep sleep concern. GPS will work but not after your phone goes into deep sleep.

Download CPU SPY and review if your phone is entering 'deep sleep' at all. If not, read through some of the later pages in the thread to visit options.

Camera issues on ICS Passion 10.6

Has anybody else had issues with the camera not connecting. I have tried installing camera zoom fx to see if that worked and it didnt and the other way I can fix the camera is to shut the phone off and do a battery pull. It works one time and then cuts out again. I tried cache clearing and running permission fix and nothing. Anybody have a clue how to fix this issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theking_13:
For the 4 capacative buttons staying lit up, you can disable it by unchecking "Pulse notification" in Settings>Display.

As for the "H", this means you're getting faster speeds.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakdaddy:
I've read through the ROM threads a bunch and OP's issue may be different than the main thread issue regarding Deep Sleep and Maps. I believe my issue the same as OP's.

When I boot up the phone and let it sit, it will go to Deep Sleep. As soon as I really USE the phone though (Maps, internet, etc) the phone will not go BACK into Deep Sleep, and battery drains rapidly. It takes a reboot to get the Deep Sleep working again. Android System is always the culprit. I have had the same problem on three different ROMs recently (ICS Passion, MIUI NB and MIUI Lithium Volt). It sure makes me think it's not the ROM...but I have no idea what else it would be since I wipe and reformat my phone before flashing.

I have been trying to figure this issue out for a while now, to no avail. Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] theoilman:
lenovo is a great company and their tablets have competitive specs. why do their tablets have such little dev support compared to the other major android tablets?

I ask because the lenovo tablets coming out this year look very nice, but I hesitate to buy a tablet that won't have good dev support.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] manooti:
I'm on the same boat man. I got the tablet as a christmas wish from my gf... now I found out from timmyDean and other sources that the K1 will not have its bootloader unlocked. Not sure if there will be a way to hack it anytime soon.

I'm going to see if I can sell this thing to buy a transformer prime. Ill be calling lenovo to express my concerns as well. I have a laptop from them with high DPC Latency. Sent it in and came back with same problem and a wiped system with an extra partition.

No more lenovo for me.

If someone somehow manages to hack this thing, then I guess I'll keep it. For now I'm planning its resale value to pick up a different brand.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] josh451:
I've got a TPT, got it for free from Lenovo, but it doesn't force you to go to Lenovo's market, essentially you can uninstall it and just use the regular market.

That being said, even with the optional external keyboard (that rocks), I mainly use my Samsung Galaxy from work, since I have it rooted and can do what I want with it.

And really not being able to root the TPT is why I'm glad I didn't actually buy it. I definitely wouldn't buy a tablet that I can't root.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] theoilman:
well locked bootloader is a deal breaker. too bad lenovo, you won't get my business. it's a shame, they looked great.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Noneus:
I have the TPT since September now. I have HTC's Sensation as my phone. I have root and a custom rom on my Sensation. So I do know the advantages.

I don't really miss root on my Tablet. Most apps don't need root. One thing that requires root I miss though. Titanium Backup or some other backup-solution. I just don't get why Lenovo does not provide one. Besides Adblock and Titanium Backup I can't think of any other program that requires root, that would provide any real advantage in using my tablet.

It is actualy quite good not too have root and custom ROM's. I'm a kid at heart and I put on new ROMs on my phone like I put on new clothes...

PS: You can lock down the tablet for users with the Mobility Manager. Just google for it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] twospirits:
Awesome post by jimmyDean.

I have a Thinkpad and that post explains alot of how Lenovo is thinking. Its a shame since the Thinkpad can be one great device with its digitizer and stylus if it wasn't so locked down. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and accept that they won't change their position.

It will be the last Lenovo I will own though that's for sure.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] cp_kirkley:
Very good read read. Disheartening, to say the least. I really like my TPT, but my next tablet will be either a transformer prime or the next nice sized tablet to offer an integrated pen solution with Tegra3. I wont swear off Thinkpad notebooks though, my x220 is a BEAST, and I have been using Thinkpads since my parents got me an IBM T61 in college.

But yeah, tablets from Lenovo is out of the question. Its a shame though, I don't think they've realized they've doomed their fate in the consumer tablet market. Sony realized this and righted the ship in 2011 line of devices. One can only hope that Lenovo smells the coffee and wakes up.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gallahad2000:
I hate to be the dissenter but all of these companies are out to make money and while Lenovo's model (and amazon's, barnes and noble's, apple's, etc, PS3/Xbox/Wii's, etc.) is a bit duplicitous but it isn't out of the norm. I'd love to have a transformer or a xoom with an unlocked bootloader but I've never seen those anywhere near the $250 I picked up the K1 for. I'm not saying I'm going to support that business model but I will use it to my own advantage (ie, pick up the device on the cheap and find a way to do what I want while paying as little as possible). Lenovo will likely have to shift out of this model because there's no reason to use their market instead of the android one and they have nowhere near the sort of exclusive content that the others using this model have.

The Nook Color was a shining exception, both cheap and completely unprotected but B&N corrected that mistake in the Nook Tablet that replaced it.

In the end, we have to decide if we're willing to pay more to leave the walled garden. Given how US consumers have condemned themselves to it in the console gaming and cellular phone markets (both in choosing the iphone and in long contracts for free phones), it's not that clear that they won't choose to give up control in order to pay less upfront.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] HecaThePeca:
Wow thanks timmyDean, that clarified a lot of things... I'm going to need a tablet with a decent stylus soon, and I've been looking at TPT for some time now... but root is also very important to me, already because I don't trust Lenovo to bring OTA ICS update for it... I think I'll tough it out with my old tablet PC until something better comes along. HTC flyer is just too small (and with old android).

Anyway, I've been hearing some rumors that Samsung might come up with a stylus solution (S-Pen) in the next Galaxy Tab, perhaps in the MWC 2012 in at the end of february. It's the same tech as in the new Galaxy Note. Hopefully it's also a 12" tablet! It's interesting to note that Sammy's allied with Wacom, while TPT and Flyer use n-trig.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] siggehandf:
IfIf you ask me. this is the best Android tablet on the market. I took chance and sold my galaxy tab 10.1 and have had nothing but positiv things to say. Love the stylus and once you pick up the MyScript app, this is just perfect! All other tablets feel like toys compared to thrsp
[Thinkpad Tablet General] sublimee:
I didn't get the thinkpad tablet, but the ideapad K1. For the price I got it at, US$400 for 3G version, it was a good US$150 cheaper than the nearest similarly speced 3G android. For the price, no complaints!

Next up, unlocked bootloader please!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] synthrax76:
I'm working in Marketing and was looking into tablet devices for eDetailing for our company. I personally compared every Android device that was available in our country: Motorola Xoom, Acer Iconia A500, ASUS Transformer, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and also Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet. I was very eager to get my hands on the Thinkpad Tablet, as connectivity (USB host etc) and the digitizer seemed like a huge advantage. But soon, I was very disappointed; in comparison to the other tablets, there are some MAJOR shortcomings:

- software: the firmware is buggy and seems unfinished

- performance: the TPT clearly reacts slower to input than other tablets; this seems to be confirmed in benchmarks

- locked bootkloader: that was the death blow! I don't blame Lenovo that the Citrix Receiver won't accept "untrusted" certificates. However, installing missing certificates is just one of the many things I expect from a decent device; there's plenty of other good reasons you need root access and it was a "must have"

As Lenovo has only delivered minor firmware updates that don't really address the issues mentioned above, I have abandoned the device completely.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] twospirits:
Root has just been received and we are just verifying it over in the ThinkpadTablet forums. There should be a instructions for it soon enough. Hang tight.

btw the bounty is now up to $800

Bootloader also unlocked?

When Root is enabeled i try to write a script to remove all the bloatware stuff
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Sess:
Great company? Perhaps in the past. Lenovo support issued a statement, that the tablet does not have a locked bootloader. Once the device was rooted, writing recovery was as simple as having write access to the partition. The locking of nvflash was a **** move however (as the only external interface to the bootloader), and since they would not provide tools to provide the needed functionality, the bootloader was for all intents and purposes locked. Additionally, since IBM sold the thinkpad brand to lenovo, their support response and turnaround is nightmarish. The organization I work for purchased 10 thinkpad tablets for our desktop technicians to use in the field. 6 had the charging/data usb port break within 2 months. I purchased a thinkpad tablet prior to the organizations purchase for personal use, and within 30 days, my port stopped connecting via data. It took numerous phone calls and a few weeks to get lenovo to repair the device under warranty, and then an additional 27 days to actually get the tablet repaired and returned. The tablets for the organization endured similar rigmarole, with only a 2 week difference in repair turnaround. Reports all over the thinkpad and lenovo forums report similar stories. It seems only recently that lenovo has even decided to acknowledge the defective usb port as a manufacturers defect. I don't know what happened to the company, but the shady support statements combine with customer unfriendly technical support has ensured that both my organization and myself will not be doing future business with them.

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

That might be true once custom firmwares start rolling out. As it stands, in the same class, the thinkpad is a hardcore underachiever compared to almost every other tegra 2 tablet on the market. The ntrig digitizer is also the reason I put up with the sluggish buggy behavior. Luckily with root, one can hope these problems can be fixed. However without kernel source, we may be limited to honeycomb in order to keep full hardware functionality. Thats also not to say that a poorly configured kernel or bad drivers aren't part of the reason for the periodic lag, touch issues, and general poor performance.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tableteer:
Can someone clarify on the bootloader/nvflash issue?

Is the bootloader locked or not, and if not, can we now put custom ROMs on it or not?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
I'm going to try:)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tableteer:
Great! I know how to cook a ROM, but I've never tried compiling one from source for a new device... it's not really the topic of this thread, but where does one actually get the proprietary drivers etc.?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] qdmcgraw:
Does the TPT actually need proprietary drivers? I think most of the hardware is pretty standard for Android tablets, and I remember reading that 4.x had some sort of native pen support. Maybe I'm wrong, but sounds to me like you could have bone stock 4.x on it without any trouble.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
Kernel isn't problem because it's already 2.6.36(that's enough) and I have some knowledge in common with tegra property files ie. harmony but, from sources that I found, TPT have ventana board that's based on harmony one ie. CPUs and graphics cards are same and only difference is in cameras and something else(I forgot but it isn't something important) so making device tree won't be a big problem but I don't have a device and some testers will be needed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] tableteer:
The camera is almost always not working in the ports. Sound and video (especially HDMI out) are often a problem, too.

But you're right, a lot of the stuff in the TPT is standard. That's good. :)

@Jon2555 I'll definitely test it and maybe I can help developing (but I have very little time at the moment unfortunately, because of college :().
