[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0og1e:
Can you remember the steps you did to Kindle? I mean, what tweaks did you use to cause you Kindle to be bricked? Given that your Kindle's led lights does not work, it is very possible that you flash the wrong bootloader. Maybe you should read those useful threads like Firekit and USB boot tricks once again, so that you can find more information. I use Ubuntu 11.10, not the latest version, but the Firekit seems not to work on my computer, only to find "waiting for OMAP44xx device..." on the screen no matter I short the contact or not. So I turned to the post here. I issued:

./usbboot aboot.bin u-boot.bin; ./fastboot boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

And it worked! There are some points to keep in mind. Before you do any of these steps, push the power button for 20 secs or more. Then type the commands mentioned in that post. And you short it and while keeping to shorted, you plug in the usb. If you see some text on your screen, then you succeed.

Hermano Francisco,

It's kind of tricky... to mw worked right now... I kept trying, unitl I find the right spot for the short, or the right time... My KF is working so far...

Gonna turn it off, read all the guides... and later I'll try to learn how to put market in it.

Thanks guys for help and all knowledge that you share.

Help me please

Bricked My kindle. Could Not bot up.

I am a Windows User, Tried Ubuntu for this method. But stucks at

"waiting for OMAP44xx device..."

Tried out the Shorting pin point. But no response,. "Is the adb has to set earler before to do this?" if yes please specify How to do that.

I did the Steps.

1. First removed battery wire: (Just to make it Power of if it is on)

2. Pressed Power button for 30 seconds nearly

3. Short the Pin point and Plugd in USB(I already attached One end to PC)

4. Tried out many times. But still.....

5. Before Flasing Bootloader. Kindle works well. I just gave a wrong file name. As a stupid thing. Please dont scold. Help me.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
When it says waiting is when you apply the short and plug it in keeping it shorted till the script runs
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balakrishnan111:
Thanks for ur fast response

Thank you for fast response. But as i noted earlier. i did Pin short only during the "Waiting for device prompt in terminal"

What should i do
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
If your using a 3.0 USB port it very likely will not work use 2.0 only
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balakrishnan111:
I hope i am using USB 2.0, My system does not 3.0 Port. Itried now also. NO use. Is there any other way available, Please say
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0og1e:
Maybe there are other similar tools that can help you

Did you try the method found here. Though I believe Firekit and this method are nearly the same. Only one of them applied to my situation, but I canont remember which one is useful. You can give both of them a try. And when shorting the points, you should try several times. Hope my post is helpful.

Will this method work with the KF HD 7"? If not does anyone know a solution? I was flashing a second boot loader and TWRP and something went wrong. It now displays a black screen.

Hello,

Please, let me know if that method works in Kindle Fire 8.9.

Hello,

I have a bricked Kindle Fire HD 8.9 possibly damage due wrong bootloader.

I am trying to recover it using firekit because I have some skill with linux. I press both minus vol and power switch and got the follow in dmesg:

Is there some way to insert a new bootloader in KF 8.9 HD?

Thanks in advanced.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torresweb:
First, thank you for your attention. I did but won't this work for KFHD7"/8.9 because a different motherboard design and I still in doubt about the contact short circuit trick is a valid option to my KF or definitely I must forget it.

About the log that I post above I could not find any other post with that... could be it be useful for something?

Anyone who did short circuit trick in oldest models could show me the linux kernel log? (I wanna see the difference to my log).

Thanks again.... each time less hope :(
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
:sigh:

Yes, I'm well aware that those links are dealing with a KF2 and not an HD (I mean I should, considering I've posted there so much :silly: ). It's still a work in progress and there's still things to be done just to get it to work for the KF2. But the same idea could be implemented on other devices as well.

I didn't send you to those threads so you can fix your device. I sent you to those threads to shed a little hope on what is normally a hopeless situation. Before now, restoring hard bricked 2nd generation KFs was a pipe dream. So, you can either sit back and be hopeful as you watch things progress, or you can do your part and contribute to the conversation and help to implement the same idea for your device. The choice is yours, but those are really the only options you have right now.

Are you HTC Dev unlocked, or did you S-off with Revolutionary?

If you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for the ROM you are using via fast boot. That will clear up the WiFi issue.

I think your BL version is 7, but I recommented first you flash DFP-139 from this: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php .It's BL6 version if with this version still black screen. You'll need to flash BL7 231 from this thread, first you'll need flash 231 when ROOTED 231.

[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
Hi guys,

After i had to flash my stock-ROM again (due to a bootloop), I recognized that the picture counter starts at IMG0001 again. Is there any possibility to set a custom value?

I think I could have saved the camera app with Titanium Backup, but I dont have that backup anymore.

Any other possibility?
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
Very good question I would also like answered.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
I don't quite understand, if you say the counter restarted.. meaning it is overwritting existing pictures?

Anyway, I don't think there is a way to custom set the counter. And its a little bit fishy I think the counter restarted. I usually do wipes, doesn't have that kind of issue. It will just continue after latest numbering in dcim folder. Maybe you change save folder that may cause the picture to get restarted? Because when you wipe/reinstall rom, the default folder for camera app will be in the internal sd, if you have always been saving in external sd before, changing to internal sd will reset the counter because it doesn't find any previous picture files to continue the counter.

Hope this helps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapdaddy:
How hard would it be to port this to the Vivid after obtaining permission from the devs? I see Inquisition has been ported over and is looking quite good. :)

I know Sense 4 is causing issues but is this the only difficult problem to overcome? Or the RIL? Or are these combined?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Brand New:
Once we get a working AOSP base, porting will be more easy.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I'm not so sure that's going to affect anything, since Sensation ports are already being handled with relative ease due to the Sense-based ROM -> Sense-based ROM idea. AOSP will help to port completely diverse images like CM9 and AOKP,
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
It has been mentioned before the sense 4 works perfectly except for ril. Asop will not help advance this since the framework is completely different. Our ril needs to be manual programmed into the smali code in framework.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlovemySGS2:
I was taking a video, and finished it, when suddenly the phone froze up and turned off. I've been using MIUI, and while it's mostly pretty stable, reboots and crashes happen, so I just rolled my eyes. But since then it's been completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, even after taking the battery out several times, can't put it into recovery or download modes, and it's been connected to the charger for about ten minutes now and still nothing.

I haven't flashed anything for ages, haven't done anything odd with the phone at all, I have no idea what could have provoked this. Please help, I can't imagine what I'd do if my phone was permanently dead.

Samsung Galaxy SII with MIUI weekly ROM (currently 2.4.27)

Things I have tried:

Long press power button to turn it on (obviously)

Same thing after taking the battery out for ages

Press Vol up + Home + Power to put it into recovery

Press Vol down + Home + Power to put it into download

Plug it into charge

Plug in data cable connected to computer

Take out battery for a while, then replace, plug data cable into computer (but not phone), hold volume buttons while plugging in phone (internet guy told me to)

Everything above shows absolutely nothing on screen. Charging heats it up a little.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Just another try:

Maybe only the screen is "defect".

Boot into download mode - even if the screen keeps black.

And connect the phone via USB cable to your PC.

If the PC recognizes the phone, you could try to flash another ROM (with Odin).

If not ... is your phone still on warranty?!

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IlovemySGS2:
Nope. Not a bad idea though. I wondered if the screen was broken, but then there should be vibrate and boot audio when it boots up.

Same issue.

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have the exact same problem as the OP. Only I wasn't even using my phone when it died it was just sitting on the side.

The 'back story':

My phone died whilst doing absolutely nothing. I tried plugging it in to charge and it came up with theimage I've attached below, and it just flashes on and off the screen at random intervals.

I tried recovery - nothing.

I tried D/L mode - worked once but got the 'battery too low - cannot download' error and it hasn't worked since.

Tried 2 different batteries - nothing.

Removed the battery for 10 minutes and retried - nothing.

Removed the battery while keeping the phone connected to the charger - nothing.

Connected phone to PC with original cable - nothing.

The top of the phone also gets hot when trying to charge.

Cannot attach the image yet as I can't post outside links...

But the symbol is the greyed out battery with the 'loading' ring.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfraggle:
Hey all, sorry if there is a thread already for this, I did search, but there were a fair few results.

Anyway, since updating my phone to ICS (LPQ) the phone no longer works for more than 20 minutes when connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. After around 20 minutes, the phone just restarts. This is very annoying as shortly before i upgraded I had only just bought the stereo for this exact purpose, and also bought a dedicated sat nav app.

I have since updated again to LP7 hoping it would fix the issue however the issue is still present.

I have done a reset to factory defaults, which made no difference, has any one experienced this issue, and found a fix?

Just something i noticed tonight everyone. If you were on the forum a fortnight ago you would be familiar with my first problem, a screen bow. Now tonight i have noticed how around the glass and where the tapered edge meet, the height of glass above the edge can vary a few mm and in a few spots for me it will even sink a little if They never just say no, you wont have a relationship press, not much. Its the whole left side of the tab that seems fractionally higher. So if its not too much of a bother to you all could you please just try and find some spots on the tab and press them on the edge to see if it sinks or flexes the tiniest bit please let me know. Mine had a bit of a squeak to it before which i thought was the case. If this ones a dud, then i will refund and wait for the galaxy note 10.1.

I have been running the new cm9 ics ROM for about 2 days now, and had just got all my data and apps sorted and fully working. I sat down, watched some TV, and after 30 mins i checked my phone. Black screen ( i assume its locked) i tap the power button, nothing, again nothing. I now think i must have turned my phone off. I now hold the power button, nothing, again, nothing. I grab my charger, put my phone on charge and notice no orange or green light. I have repeatedly tried to revive my phone but nothing works. I don't know if its the software, battery, charger, Im so confused. Please if anyone has had the same problem, or has any suggestions, i would appreciate it very much. Thanks.

some extra details: i charged my phone over night the day before, so it shouldn't have died ( i know you shouldnt charge overnight, but i do :/)

i wasn't trying to flash anything or messing around with files, it was in my pocket.

i didn't drop it
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Don't panic. Stay calm. The most of our ics roms suffer from reboots or freezes at this stage of development. Your phone simply froze, this can happen with screen on or turned off. If the three button combo (power and volume + -) does not work, You need to wait until the battery drains out.

if you pull the battery there is a chance to freeze your emmc chip and really brick your phone. If you connect the phone to PC before pulling the Batt there's a little lower risk. But I still don't recommend to do so. After your phone is running again, you should overvolt by 25 to hopefully prevent your phone from freezing again.

Ps.

Really, please stay calm, this happened to me about 20 times on ics roms and I'm not the only one.

[HTC Desire S] Gaff3rs:
thanks, i will just wait then, is it normal that adb won't recognise the device? and also two things, how long roughly will it take to drain completely? and when it is completely drained, what do i do? charge as normal?

thanks a lot :)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
1. Yes, if it's frozen adb does not recognize the device

2. Depends on how much loaded your battery was. Could be between 1-12 hours :-)

For me very often it didn't need that long, phone restarted by itself after some time.. (30 mins?) But sometimes I also had to wait long..

3.yes, charge normal

Edit: since your screen is off it could take even more than 12 hours o.O

post your results :-)
