im also trying to flash my bionic to page plus using the same tutorial listed above and keep getting the same error as above.. if tried everything in this thread bus still can not get the phone to boot. if someone could just point me in the right direction that would be great. ive searched goolge high and low. i am currently using my D3 but the digitizer is cracked and that makes it hard to use my phone.:( any help would be greatly appropriated! :fingers-crossed: Thanks

IF you cant get your phone out of bootloop, send me a email and i will give you the proper stock file you need

help. im stuck on the original question.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tkoalas:
Help!

My phone is stuck in only showing the Fastboot page. Basically, I am trying to turn my device into Verizon. I had it compelety updated (so probably JB) but was running CM 11. I wiped the cache and /system and it would go past the splash to a grey screen. I tried RSDing it and now I am stuck in the Fastboot.

If you were still in your window for a full refund from the store would you get the newer model for the screen and hopefully better wifi back panel? My current one has none of the issues my first one had other than weaker wifi. It would take a few days for delivery but the cost is the same. If they dropped the price of the prime I'd return it and buy it again or ask to match it. The t300 didn't feel right in my hands even though it was lower in price. I love the prime but who knows what issues the new model will bring.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
There is always a model thats better. My phone, for instance, is the Samsung S2. It does everything i want and im very happy with it. The S3 came out and its nice and shiny and has some improvments but really, do i need it? Im very pleased with what i have.

Now if you are happy with your prime as it is, keep it. Its a good tablet, at least in my eyes, and it works well enough. Sure there are some wifi / gps issues that people have and IO problems, but nobody is to say it will be fixed with the 700. There might be new problems with the 700, who knows.

Do you like the prime as it is?

Do you want to have to wait for the 700 to be released?

how much money are you willing to spend? "decent" tablets are selling for $200-$300. Consider this a "top of the line" tablet, does it fit your budget?

Are you willing to deal with whatever inperfections your prime has or would you wait for somethign that potentially has those problems fixed?

Its your call. I made mine when i bought my tablet. I do not regret my decision. My sister bought a 300, she loves it. Everyones different, only you can decide.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
If i was stateside, i'd totally return mine to get a 700. The higher res screen, fixed GPS and Wifi make it way worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fsured:
I went for it. Returned it last night at Best Buy and ordered it online. Got an email a few hours ago that they unit has already shipped to the store for pick up Tuesday or Wednesday. The sales rep at the store seemed unable to order it for store shipment. Something about being unable to because it wouldn't be coming from one of their distribution centers.

I really do like the prime and this was my second one. I had one from the first batch produced which had bad BT reception and wifi. This second model I got really did have no problem with the BT but the wifi reception was still weak with distance. I will admit it was a rough decision since the unit was functional for my purposes and I had it set up with the apps I like. In the end I'm taking a chance that the plastic strip will allow for better wifi reception.

Price wise it was exactly the same. I had the $499, 32gig model and after tax it was an even trade. If it were to have been more expensive I would have stayed with the prime. But for the equal cost and better wifi (fingers crossed), I am taking the risk on a new product that we have yet to discover any flaws yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Well let us know how it goes! Most stuff that I've read says it's better in every way. I'd really like to have the higher res screen, but beggars (my mom bought me mine :D) can't be choosers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fsured:
Just wanted to fill you in on the TF700. I've had it for about 2 days now and love it. Right off the start I could tell there is a huge difference in screen image. It just looks crisp and clean. The wifi is greatly improved and I can stream video while using my blue-tooth headphones. That was my biggest hope in this exchange process.

I haven't had any reboots but have had the anr's in browsing and some minor lock ups that are less than 10 seconds. There is light bleed but I suppose it is manageable. GPS took about 30 seconds and locked on to 9 locations from my first floor patio. The volume and power button are improved with a good "click" when pressed. Great tablet so far. Glad I went with the return of my Prime for the Infinity.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] moonunitenar:
If it's an even trade, then you've got nothing to lose. Doesn't the tf700 retail for the same price as the original prime now? At any rate, I'd only go for it if I didn't have to pay extra. There's hardly a difference between the two tablets (GPS and screen resolution).

The Heimdall Suite 1.3 release includes a major overhaul of Heimdall Frontend. The most important feature is that Heimdall Frontend now provides a means for you to easily package your firmware/ROMs/kernels in a "Heimdall Firmware Package".

Heimdall Firmware Packages contain any files users will need to flash as well as additional information including supported devices, developer names, homepage and donate URLs etc.

Heimdall Firmware Packages can be customised by users or flashed directly as provided by firmware developers. Generally users won't want or need to customise the firmware so flashing your firmware becomes as simple as loading the firmware package and pressing the "Start" button.

Distributing your firmware via Heimdall Firmware Packages should simplify the flashing process for end users and decrease the number of bricks that occur as a result of users flashing incorrect firmware.

Heimdall 1.3.0 has officially been released and can be download from the Heimdall product page.

Feedback is very welcome! As always donations are also very much appreciated.

And this is really more easy to use for normal end users?

I do not think so. CWM zip which I can copy to my device and install from there seems to be straightforward.

By the way from the homepage a warning:

Easer or safer?!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
not everyone has linux or apple computer and thus uses heimdall.

Next to this, this increases binary counter no? So nice for people who use heimdall and dont care for counter.

I think key in flashing is multiplatform compatability and then cwm zips are mostly usable in broadest spectrum.

Maybe people should check double check what they flash prior to flashing in order to eliviate that risk of flashing wrong firmware for wrong device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elephant007:
I'm going to try to make a long story short

I downloaded a Jelly Bean ROM and the Amazon Update Stock ROM

I renamed the Jelly Bean ROM to Update.zip (there's my mistake)

I booted into TWRP recovery and applied Update.zip, when I rebooted I had Jelly Bean

No big deal right? I used Kindle Utility to reinstall TWRP, rebooted and was stuck on the Kindle Fire splash... No big deal right?

While trying to correct the problem, I went from not-so-bad to very terrible.

Eventually a fellow co-work built a factory USB cable for me I was able to finally get back to TWRP recovery, flashed the original stock ROM and when it rebooted, I was stuck on Kindle Fire splash again. HELP! Well I had the birght idea of taking all the knowlege I learned to get back into TWRP and was successful in doing so, I then re-flashed the Jelly Bean ROM... lo-and-behold, My fire booted into Jelly Bean

Now with all that said, I would like to know if anyone knows how to take the Kindle Fire back to stock from Jelly Bean, would it be the same as reverting it back if there were another ROM installed? As you can tell by all the problems I've had, I'm a bit hesitant...

Any direction would be apperciated

I went with this following suggestion and was able to get back to the stock look and feel

Thank you everyone for your suggestions... I was very hesitant to re-try it again, this is the first time I've had anything happen like this too me and I've been using Andriod Cupcake days!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jji7skyline:
I just hope you did a backup before updating and so forth? If so, restore from that.

Otherwise, you'll have to do a Google search and try to find a zip of the stock ROM.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashbang173:
Did you wipe

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Dunno what your point is about returning to stock but just flash modaco instead use ota root keeper for your prime video and enjoy the benefits of the Google android market a sort of have your cake and eat it too deal when flashing place modaco on your sdcard wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik wipe system flash modaco reboot and enjoy:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elephant007:
I did not do a backup. Do you say I would have to find a full Amazon ROM and not the Update from Amazon?

Yes I wiped and washed my hands too! HAHA
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jji7skyline:
I've heard doing a Kindle Fire Software update http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620 also works.

If you make any mistakes flashing stock you will have no recovery and fff if you do so anyway plus a really sweet little hockey puck ;)

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Flash modaco like I recommended above you will be happy with the results and you will still have fff bootloader and a custom recovery

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Don't use the altrom version of modaco thats for those who have dual boot bootloader

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Of course its always best to make a backup prior to flashing
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elephant007:
Wow lots of information there...

I did make the mistake of trying to flash stock rom and lost fff and twrp, I was able to recover from that by using a modified USB cable

I would like to go back to 100% stock even without root, I've had my Fire rooted from day one and don't really use any of the features that rooting unlocks, basically I use it to view Netflix and Amazon prime, play some games on it... I thought I'd use it for work but if work wants me to have a tablet, they'll buy me one! HAHA

If I decide to use the rom you suggested, I'll make sure not to use the version you said to stay away from

If I make a backup now, it's going to just backup the existing freshly installed rom. What's the difference between backing up the fire now and reinstalling the JellyBean rom?

I appreciate all your information

kindle jelly bean google play issue

Hi all,

I have successfully installed JB 4.1.1 (full_otter-userdebug 4.1.1 JRO03 eng.hashcode.20120713.003406 test keys) and I have two issues:

1. google play does not run (start). It was not installed at all, and when installed from APK (v3.7.11) is crashes at startup

2. I don't see the device using adb and I am not able to boot into recovery mode to re-flash it...

Any ideas appreciated, since now I am now able to read my amazon content on it.... ;(

cheers

Daniel
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
First of all you must flash gapps after your ROM secondly don't you have fff bootloader use that to enter recovery if you don't have fff will need to add it using kfu if you can't get kfu to see your kindle likely you will need to reinstall your drivers to do so

Daniel if you have a yellow triangle when you first boot hold the power button till it turns orange this will take you to recovery where you can flash jb gapps if you have a screen with white kindle and blue fire press your power button quickly a few times till you get a small boot menu at the bottom select recovery with your power button this will take you to recovery sorry you can't use smirkis unless you can get to recovery so completely disregard that
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veselyda:
Thanks. I would like to flash gapps, but as I can not access recovery mode I dunno how to do it. I don have FFF, how can I install it once having JB 4.1?

Hola porque al instalar esta rom la batería me dura poco a alguien le pasa igual perdon no hablo ni escribo en ingles saludos desde Mexico
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Paul L.:
Esto es un foro internacional, significa que tenes que hablar en ingles en cualquier topico para que todo lo que escribimos se pueda entender.

Translation: This is an international forum, this implies that you have to talk in english language in any topic so everyone can be understand.

Y sobre tu pregunta, eso se debe a que el ROM usa muchos recursos, basicamente nuestro telefono no esta hecho para correr ICS, por lo que hace bastante uso del procesador y la memoria, pero te podrias fijar si el telefono esta entrando en estado deep sleep (bajando cpu spy del google play store)

Translation: And about your question, that's because the ROM uses a lot of resources, basically our phone isn't made to run ICS, and because of that it is using a lot of processor time and memory, but you can look if your phone is in deep sleep state (downloading cpu spy from google play store)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adolfotregosa:
Just to share this with you guys..

With every display that I use, I try to have it calibrated and I was trilled that with the nexus I had so much control over the screen!! Never had a phone with so much control

You have here my results.

Just be aware that the "before" is with trinity kernel stock color scheme and I'm really grateful that his market tool and not to forget franco.kernel tool too,made possible for me to calibrate...

I used a 18% gray card to make sure white balance was spot on when converting the raw files into smaller jpg.

I did find that sometimes the changes did not apply so I did a double check by exaggerating the values when making the changes. Contrast was one of them..

On the graphs, the white dotted line is the reference

Only problem with this is that not all screens are the same :( so these settings will not work for everybody

My calibrated values

tint

red 200

green 169

blue 178

gamma

red 2

green 0

blue 0

disable dynamic contrast

contrast value 0

If you use franco.kernel tool

gamma 1.0

If you like image with more contrast, i would set it between -6 to -10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Very interesting and the before/after photos look good. Is there a problem with burn in?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
Looks a little red for me. Your results look great though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
The improvement in the color of the dog photo is drastic. Trinity kernel does come with the blue really cranked up for some reason. Looking good now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emd2009:
It is too red for me also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sqjzb:
sd

little red for me as well, but i'm loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adolfotregosa:
If you look at the calibrated rgb graph, red is a few points bellow reference. And again if you look at the color temperature line it is a little above 6500k. It is normal for first reaction about red when actually your missing blue because almost every screen you are used too has to much blue on it..yet again there's the tint problem on a bunch of nexus too.. if I get my hands on one of them I'll post here the results

Edit: for you "red guys" try to invert the red with blue values

Red 178

Blue 200

BUT keep gamma the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
Thanks for sharing this. I can never get the color settings right. This helps immensely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adolfotregosa:
you're welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumperalex:
Outstanding. I was wondering if using my colorometer would work on the phone. Looks like I have a nice project for this weekend :) I need to revalidate my HT and PC too so might as well throw the phone in there too :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herzzreh:
Use hcfr and the color swatch app from the Market..

If you get stuck on gamma, don't sweat it too much.. I spent an hour trying to get it right, no luck with this screen. Colors are bang on though.

For those who don't know, 6500k is the reference color temperature. To most people it looks too red or even yellow, but it's what the whole publishing and photography world uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adolfotregosa:
or you can install mxplayer,

get from here:

http://www.avsforum.com/t/948496/avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration

the mp4 version, extract it, goto to:

ColorHCFR Fields folder,

10% Grayscale folder

and use that files with mxplayer.

My gamma is 99% spot on. I go for 2.3x since with amoled screen the black mml is almost zero, you will not sacrifice shadow content and have a great contrast
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
I don't get it, how you use hcfr with android? I tried but I just can test my monitor (pc) =/ is there a guide or something?

the way I do right now is testing with http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ and setting manually parameters on phone until it looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adolfotregosa:
you don't !! you use a laptop :D with the colorimeter connected to it.

your phone just plays the mp4 for calibrating your screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumperalex:
Yup, just like you use it to calibrate your HT screen. I run a long usb cable to my PC and use a DVD I burned with an ISO of test screens.

Thanks for the tips on test screens for the phone. saves me the time searching them out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badtzo:
I was searching on web :rolleyes: I found that I need a meter, for that is the usb port right? (like spyder2 or EyeOne) mmm I was conecting my phone XD first time trying this tools. Now I understand what all this is about.

That looks that I will be doing this as usual =/ with my only 2 eyes :cyclops: meter XDD ohh wait that's just one of them xDD

well thanks for answer :) and that pic looks great. Right now I'm on CM10 and config my screen with their "advance" tool and comparing to the webpage I shared. That looks good too but I perceive a little bit reddish on dark colors. Thats so F******* better than blue one XD now looks like Super Amoled plus the contrast is pretty similar to SGS3.

Like to start off saying hello, great to be here great amounts of information.

I Have me a Huawei U8800-51 (Impulse 4G).

I Just got the one used. Rooted it, and got around to working on it to get Gingerbread on it. It all worked out great.

It worked fine for 3 Days suddenly i decide to reboot it. it shut off but never came back on. Battery was fully charged.

Removing battery for an hour solved nothing. Attempting to go into debug (Vol + & - with power held down) or CW (Vol + With Power held down) resulted in nothing. The phone always when off would turn on display battery charging when connected to power. no this dose not happen.

I still think the phone is drawing power from the battery in this state because the phone would get a little worm like normal.

I talked to someone that ran into a similar issue with a different phone he once had. He Spoke that he had to download a program which was posted about on XDA, which allowed him to power on the phone by forcing the ports open when plugged into USB.

Thing is, he cant remember the name. So I hope for a little help with this. right now im stone broke so i cant afford to buy any mod cables. like JIGs or anything. If a certain cable is needed whats with the cable that makes it different? (If i have too ill rip bits from other old electronics to find a match and attach it to a old spare cable.

I think the problem with the one is related to the changes i made and something must of been buggy.

Even know i got the phone cheap and used. i hate to just ended up with a $120 Paperweight.

Worked all like new when i got it, nothing wrong with it, not even a mark on it.

Feel free to give me a answer even if you have to have Linux to do it. i got both Windows and Linux on my system.

Thanks in advance.
