I am trying to restore it to factory or any other rom. I cant get it to boot into recovery mode using kindle fire utility or kindle unbrick utility they both wont detect the kindle at any point of booting.

What cant I do to restore my kindle to stock?

Thank you for your help I am so stuck right now.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
You can't turn it off then turn it back on and hold the power button till it turns amber
[Kindle Fire General] PanicFusion:
I can it still doesnt detect the device when I run the utilities.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
if you have cwm installed you dont need the utilities

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

can you boot into cwm?
[Kindle Fire General] PanicFusion:
I tried to hold the power button after powering on but it just turns off never changes color. How long would I need to hold it for? It never turns amber.
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
when you turn it on do you see the triangle or android dude with kindle fire under him
[Kindle Fire General] PanicFusion:
I dont see it
[Kindle Fire General] DJLamontagneIII:
Sounds like you dont have bootloader or cwm installed. you had it before and flashed that rom? did you try and delete it?
[Kindle Fire General] PanicFusion:
All I did was flash the rom and wipe factory settings and few others. If I dont have either is there anyway to restore or am I stuck?

Hi,

I have an unlocked AT&T Samsung Focus Flash.

The problem is that I don't use AT&T as carrier, but I'm actually using the phone in Italy using 3.

When I try to activate the Internet Sharing using the Setting->Internet Sharing option, it says I should activate this feature in my data plan or contact AT&T. Obviously, since I don't use AT&T and I don't have a data plan with them, I cannot do that.

Is there a way to activate internet sharing so that I can use it with my Italian data plan?

Thanks!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The same tool will work for any Samsung phone, if the phone's firmware isn't too recent. @Sidhenidon, how long have you had your phone? If you've installed updates, it's probably too late to apply the hack now, but you could try to restore Zune backup (which will downgrade the firmware) and see if your older version is compatible.

Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
Guys please help me, it's important!

more details:

i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.

now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong. :confused: :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.

it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU

however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for

now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.

if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there

there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend

i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
Ahhh ok must have missed that bit

Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there

Could be worth a try
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.

Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom

If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well :confused:. I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems

What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
Dead runner, cut The rope, fruit slice and The screen off animation is too slow
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
I always turn off the screen off animation, I find it annoying personally

I'll try those games on my phone. I'm using a sense rom so I'll see if they work on this

EDIT: couldn't try dead runner or cut the rope because there paid apps but fruit slice worked fine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
Fine but The screen off animation works good for you? Anyway i meant on gingerbread roms not on sense roms
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
The sense rom I was using is a gingerbread rom. Anyway I switched to elelinux to see if maybe it was the rom causing problems but fruit slice was perfect on my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pochopsp:
good, then the crt animation works fast for you right?

last things, for custom kernels, i have to unlock bootloader like on my X8?

and for all of you, wich is the best hero's ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question

As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.

If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP

As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok

And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Habarug:
Just gotta correct you, VE is 2.1 Eclair :P that's why it's soooooo smooth xD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BeatsByMessi:
oh my bad haha i've been thinking its 2.2 all this time. i've edited the post so no one gets confused

[Nokia Lumia 900] jz9833:
Before I get started I want to say before I read the Engadget review I have already read reviews from cnet, and the huffington Post.

I was really shocked by the review Engadget has published for the Lumia 900. The other three professional reviews I had read had mostly praises for the phone. They all mentioned the low display resolution limitation of current WP7 devices however they also never mentioned how stunning the display actually was. The color saturation and sunlight visibility of the screen appear to be amazing. Engadget fails to mention that but instead complains about how the screen isn't tapered.

To make it even worse they started a hardware article with 2 negative comments about the phone. The screen display and build quality. before I get into the build quality All I have to say is that unless you feel the phone is absolute crap you don't do this.

However all the other reviewed from other professional organizations and AT&T representatives have raved about the great the build quality is. Even Engadget employees sent to CES and MWC raved about this, so why now call it a negative?

Engadget, I am aware you believe the WP martetplace is disappointing because it has only 70000+ apps. However it has either all the main apps you actually use or a decent alternative. The marketplace doesn't need a lot of crappy apps, see google play, it just needs to have the ones you use. Seriously, who cares about fart apps or 50 apps all doing the exact same thing

Overall I felt this review was meant to downgrade the perception of the Nokia Lumia 900. It just doesn't fall in line with anyhting else I have read. I knew they had an apple and htc fetish but I still respected most of their reviews, however that changed today with this travesty.

I am even starting to think maybe Tim Cook called them directly to make sure AT&T pays for calling any other phone other than the iPhone 4S their "flagship."

** removed th verge review. I know I read another major professional review, I thought it was the verge but I guess it was someone else.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Lmuggs:
I thought the same thing. The reviewer seemed biased (against the phone) from the start. In contrast I just read the review on WPCentral and thought it was the best and most informative Lumia 900 review yet. Interestingly enough there is a comment at the end of that review that talks about the guy at Engadget and speculates he is known for disliking anything Microsoft.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
Actually Engadget review was more favorable to Lumia 900 than Verge review.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
If you write Engadget on a piece of paper, then hold it in front of a mirror, and angle it just so...it will say. ... Enohpi
[Nokia Lumia 900] nokiaqueen:
Verge's review was worse, watch it on youtube
[Nokia Lumia 900] CrownSeven:
No doubt it was the worst review. He likes the hardware for the most part, but slams the WP7 os, giving the os a lower score than when they reviewed the 800. :confused: Just confirms to me that Topolsky really is a MS hater. Some of his complaints sound like a typical Android fanboy, classics such as 'single core cpu' and 'low resolution screen'.
[Nokia Lumia 900] uptempo777:
Just watched it and it definitely looks like he wanted to take an opportunity to say how much he doesn't like the Windows Phone OS. That's fine if he doesn't like it but shouldn't he be reviewing the phone and how it works with the OS? Definite biased review - like he really didn't even want to use the phone because it has WP on it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Everyone has opinions, and he's entitled to his. He doesn't like it, and its his job to share his opinion. My son tried windows phone, then went back to android. He sounded like this guy. He could pick things out...this and that, and did not consider the overall experience. Thats fine. There are lots of things to love in android, and lots of things to love in Windows phone. Pick what works for you.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

I was just reading the CNET review.

One of the strange things I saw in the Engadget review was the comment, I won't fit in your pocket...or something like that. I thought that was a strange thing to say. For those obviously looking for something to hang on to..yeah...its bigger. But...the way he said it..like somebody else said...it was obvious he didn't even want to do the review.

Anyway...the CNET review uses...get this...the Cyan 900 half in, half out of the pocket. I had to laugh...scared the cat, who knocked by bowl of cereal off my desk. Which gives me just another reason to not watch ENiphoneGADGET reviews anymore.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 1orka:
Unfortunately, this review confirms that it has same crappy camera as Lumia 800 does. Well, that was expected, but stiil, there were some hints and i had hopes...
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Actually, this review does nothing of the sort. You have a guy, who obviously does not even want to touch the phone, doing a review that searches for anything nice to say. According to him, this phone is a bottom dweller and he needs to disinfect his hands, immediately.

Thats not to say the camera is in deed good. I've heard good, I've heard bad. Persoanlly I use a camera phone for quick shots, and only 1 time in my many phones has a camera on a phone not been good enough for that...the Dell Venue Pro. Otherwise...I've been good. Of course my expectations do not include front cover Vogue shots.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cx1:
The Verge review was unbelievably biased. I had hoped for more from that site after they picked up Tom Warren, but no luck. Just as lame as Engadget.

I think the worst I read was on Pocketnow. I don't event think the reviewer ever used the phone. He used a stock photo of 2 iPhones to compare the screen resolution.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
With so many android phones out there, most of the sites do cater to android and apple...as they should. Most hard core android users have nothing good to say about wp or apple. Most apple users have nothing good to say about android or wp. They simply don't realize they lose their credibility by acting unbiased.

With hundreds of thousands of androids being registered everyday, I wonder why any other phone is ever going to be released.

All but the most hardcore of users fail to realize the lack of quality hardware and software wise on an android phone. Hardcore users can mod and tweek and do this and that...I used to be because they can...but now I lean towards because they have to.

I had the pleasure of working for a company that tested windows phones before the original release. I was majorly disappointed. I came to realize later that dissapointment was because my expectations were too high. I was looking for shooting stars and glitzy this and that. What MS focused on was pure reliablity. After a year I reset my expectations and the Windows Phone, IMO, is far superior than other phones. It works every time. I came back to the HD7 and Dell Venue Pro, moved to the Samsung Focus S and now on to the Lumia 900. I have not been disappointed yet. I've adjusted my expectation to the WP and use the People tab, and Messaging Hub and think of these things as the better way. My daughter just converted to the Lumia 710 from android...why....because of reliability. My son is still on android after trying WP...but he's a modder.

So I watch these reviews and laugh....every review they say this is their favorite phone ever....uh huh...why...cause their last favorite got to have android phone doesn't work any more....oh well...must be a verizon customer.
[Nokia Lumia 900] CrownSeven:
This time's 1000+. The majority of my friends are not tech heads. They just want their devices to work. The ones who have gone to WP7 have all said the same thing - they love it. Its quick, easy to use, and looks good. They could care less about modding or skinning their phones, or how many cores it has, how much ram, or the screen resolution.

When it comes to WP7, MS should really steal Apple's moto of 'it just works', and it works well.
[Nokia Lumia 900] EMINENT1:
I must've read 10+ reviews since they all came out last night. The overall response is positive. I think Verge and Engadget had the harshest reviews comparing apps and camera quality to the 4s and Nexus.

2 things I don't care much about. None of the bad reviews have me second guessing my decision to switch from my iPhone 4.

Can't wait till the 9th!
