A quick intro:

cd is "change directory"

pwd is "present working directory"

ls is "list directory contents"

What you see in the prompt above is...

mac-users-macbook-pro-1634 - the name of your mac

~ - your pwd

macuser - your username

~ is shorthand for your home directory. i.e. '/Users/macuser'

e.g. If you type 'pwd' you'll get '/Users/macuser'

cd will change your pwd to what you specify

e.g. type 'cd Documents' and you'll change to that directory. This is analogous to opening up your Documents folder in the Finder.

If you then type 'pwd' at the next prompt you'll get '/Users/macuser/Documents'

If you then type 'ls' at the next prompt, you'll get the contents of your Documents folder listed

What the previous poster wants you to do is change directories to wherever you have the fastboot program so you can run it in the terminal. You can do this on the mac by typing "cd " (that's cd followed by a space) and then dragging the folder that contains the fastboot program into the terminal window. The terminal will automatically paste in the complete path (directory location) of the folder for you.

I suggest doing some more reading...

flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition

erase <partition> erase a flash partition

getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable

boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel

flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it

devices list all connected devices

reboot reboot device normally

reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

options:

-w erase userdata and cache

-s <serial number> specify device serial number

-p <product> specify product name

-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline

-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id

mac-users-macbook-pro-1634:~ macuser$

What should I do after this?
[Kindle Fire General] Symberlei:

I still don't know what to do after that last step or even if I'm in the wrong place. I'd like to have my kindle fire back up and unbricked before the weekends over. Please and thank you :)
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
OK so assuming you have terminal open and your current directory is your Android SDK tools folder...

it should read something like iMac-HD~ platform-tools "yourUsername"$

...all you need to do is type:

./fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

Hit enter, then:

./fastboot reboot

It will say "rebooting". If it doesn't reboot right away just hold down the power button until it shuts off, then restart.

If you aren't sure you are in the right directory to start off in, type:

ls

That's "Ls" not "is"...you should see, among other things, adb and fastboot. If you are not in the right directory (edit: type cd in the terminal) find the Android SDK folder and drag it to your terminal window hit enter and type:

cd platform-tools

That should get you going in the right direction

Exact same problem resolved, my issue and solution

I've spent the past several hours banging my head against this problem. MBP and an iMac both running OS X 10.7.3 and VM Fusion 4.1. This thread seemed like the best place to share what I learned in case anyone else has a similar issue.

NOTE: I try and run everything inside vms to keep my base OS clean and just revert to snapshots frequently. Also I've rooted/modded a couple android phones with both these vms recently without incident.

Fought with two different XP Pro vms to get the ADB/Fastboot drivers installed. Kept getting an error about unsigned drivers. At some point the SDK drivers did install and I rooted successfully with KFU 0.9.3. Then I tried the TWRP install and had the same issue as the op. Stuck at the static Kindle Fire image. XP refused to recognize my KF and the drivers would not reinstall properly. Fastboot would remain at the "<waiting for device>" prompt when I used the fastboot -i 0x1949... bootmode command. I tried another route and booted a new OS X 10.7.3 vm and installed ADB/Fastboot. The same "<waiting for device>" prompt.

The problem had to do with the vmware usb implementation. I installed ADB/Fastboot to a non-vm install of 10.6.8 and my KF immediately responded to the bootmode command.

So if you're having a problem with the ADB/Fastboot drivers take a hard look at your usb setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Baltasar78:
Hi,

I couldnt find anything on my problem or similar :(

I installed ArpegGioMod ROM 0.9 on my Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M from bell canada. (step below)

Since then, my phone looks ok (bootup and everything) but I can't call (call drop no ring, nothing) or received call (goes to voice mail).

I notice: If I do a factory reset,when I 1st boot, signal will be at 4/4 and call will work, few moment after, signal drop 1/4 and call work go through....

Don't know if the 2 are related...

What I have done (and redone at least 4 times...)

1.Copy the zip files to your MicroSD card. (ext4 converter ,ArpegGioMod ROM 0.9, re-odex)

2.Reboot your phone in Download Mode. (Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. There will be a pink warning screen. Press Volume Up.)

3.Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery with Odin.

4.Reboot the phone into Recovery Mode. (adb reboot recovery, or Home + Power)

5."install zip from sdcard"

6."choose zip from sdcard"

7.Install the ext4 converter zip.

8.Install the ROM zip.

9.Install the Re-odex script zip.

10.Reboot

I try different config in network setting with no change....

help please.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Did you ever flash anything else on that phone before trying ArpegGioMod 0.9?

Have you tried another SIM in this phone, or your SIM in another phone? Any issues?

How long have you had the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Baltasar78:
Hi, had that phone for 3months with no prblem.

Yes I also tried Giopro 1.4 & 1.6 they also would have the same problem..

simpligio would be stuck on boot forever

and the stock rom would also be stuck on boot...

Finally, Simpligio+ WORKed!!!! ( so far, 3hr)

So now my phone is working with that last one...

when it stuck on boot (after the mod change), how long should I wait ??

Cause, with the simpligio+ it took at least 15 min before it fanaly boot... I was n't expecting anything anymore...

anyway now it is fix...

Thank you very much for the support offert by the site and user!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Ah! That changes a few things... Some of those ROMs are flashed with Odin right? And possibly changed your baseband?

To make sure the phone is still in its boot process, you could always install the Android SDK and use DDMS. The phone won't display anything on its screen, but you'll see plenty of action in DDMS.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brittonberkan:
Hey guys,

am I the only one who thinks that Google Maps has gotten slower and laggier on our Galaxy SII with the ICS-Update?

Panning and Scrolling is a little choppy and the device gets very warm when using Google Maps for more than a minute. I tried to do some investigation and found out that the Latitude process is really heavy on the CPU, which might cause both issues.

Im using the latest Google Maps on the LPQ rom, and though this is not a dealbreaker, it's just not the way it's supposed to be for me.

PS: I'm not using Google's Latitude service at all, but i guess the latitude process is also used for locating you on the map.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well I can say that yes, it does take some good seconds to switch to that Auto rotation mode (don't know the exact term), but otherwise it's OK. Besides it's not ICS but the app itself may not be well compatible yet!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopstah:
Hi guys,

I have one of the earliest retail models of the 10.1, 16GB Wifi. I'll be honest, I never got around to updating it from the original 3.0 release that it came with (before the TouchWiz stuff that Samsung added).

I'm not a heavy user of the tablet, but it rewarded me with stunning reliability -- it would run without needing a reboot for months at a time. However, it was needing a fresh start, so I figured I'd investigate the ICS ROMs available -- having a Galaxy Nexus as well, I really wanted to try ICS on a big screen.

Before we go further, I'm absolutely aware that none of the ICS are in any way official, that bugs are expected, and that there is no support. I'm absolutely not expecting a 100% reliable and functional build from any of these.

Anyway, I flashed the latest ClockworkMod recovery (5.5.0.4, from the dev forum), and proceeded to flash an ICS ROM. So far I have tried three different Kang CM9 ICS builds from various dates in March and February, as well as the 2nd March 'official' snapshot of CM9. In each case I did a data wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe, followed by flashing the ROM, followed by flashing the GApps package.

Every version I've tried has booted up fine, been fully-functional bar the camera, and been a pleasure to use. Unfortunately, every version has been *incredibly* unstable. Typically the tablet will go to sleep and refuse to wake up with the power button, and feels warm on the back. Less often but still frequently, the tablet will simply freeze when interacting with it.

As I say, I'm aware that these things may happen, but to put this into perspective, I am unable to have the tablet booted up for more than 15-20 minutes before one of these situations will happen. In either case, the only way I've found to recover is to hold the power button down until it reboots. I have tried doing absolutely nothing other than completing initial setup (add Wifi details and Google account) and exactly the same thing happens -- this isn't due to any added applications.

Obviously, other people aren't seeing this extreme instability, so what have I done wrong? As said, the tablet was 100% reliable on 3.0, so I doubt this is a hardware issue. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopstah:
OK, after more testing, I've determined that it's not just ICS ROMs that are causing this. I tried CleanROM 1.3, an Android 3.2 ROM with the Samsung software removed, and experienced exactly the same problem -- inability to wake from sleep mode within a few minutes of booting, and the tablet getting warm.

However, I also tried the stock, but de-odexed/rooted 3.2 ROM from here, and this has been running for in excess of 12 hours without any issues whatsoever.

Both were flashed with the same version of CWM, so I think I can rule out a problem with flashing. So what else could be causing the tablet to freeze when using a non-stock ROM, but work when using a (largely) stock ROM? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Because both are based off AOKP ROM's, ICS builds , aka the nightly ones are based off these AOKP ROM's

ICS ROM's and Custom ROM's are built off AOKP rom's with what's been given by the source pack/drivers from Samsung to ensure that the cROM's are unique from one another, rather than the bulk of useless apps that the stock provides, developer's grab what they can from the source pack to improve and add what they want in their ROM. But grabbing files from the source package causes major instability only because Samsung won't be giving 100% of the original stable files, they give about 50% close to what seem's to be the original, but unstable when used, which is why they need to be worked on, this is just to avoid any GPL copyright or law's being broken or theft from other competetive companies.

Here's the best way to put it, when Google releases it, Android in general is open source, but Samsung's files aren't. Best way to put it is, me and you are in the same class, and we have been given a project by the class teach! I've already done mine, so best bet would be I fork it over to you so you can grab or copy as you may, but to avoid being caught or stating you copied, I try to give only what you can and hope you do the rest by yourself.

I hope this what your looking for

I totally agree with you there.

I bought the Skyrocket for a few main reasons:

LTE

Benchmarks compared to others available at the time of purchase.

The promise of the ICS update

If I wasn't in need of a phone at the time of purchase, I would have most likely picked up the Note.

I am a patient person and can wait for the release. If I don't like what is provided I am sure there will be plenty of other ROMs to choose from at the time as ICS should be available for the other 'brother' devices shortly.

But seriously, with all of the griping that I am seeing regarding ICS it makes me wonder what is going to be said when Jelly Bean becomes available...

Just my two cents, thanks for listening.
