[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
"Root" consists of the su binary, which the system uses to give the user root permissions, and Superuser.apk, which keeps a database of what programs you allow to have those permissions. With "su" only, you will still have root permission, but only at the level of command line interface and your apps will not be allowed root permissions. Superuser.apk by itself is worthless. Custom ROMS come pre-rooted so the need to re-root is usually unnecessary unless something happens to one of the above mentioned programs. The only way to be sure if/which one is missing is in recovery via the command line because custom recovery will provide temporary root access.

adb shell ls /system/xbin

...look for su

adb shell ls /system/app

...look for Superuser.apk

Superuser can be installed from within the ROM using the .apk (at least in earlier versions it was possible), or in recovery using the command line or by flashing the signed .zip from the superuser website . The su binary can only be installed while in recovery.

Of course it all can be fixed by re-flashing your custom ROM.

It may also be necessary to rename the check-rooted executable, but only if you're running the stock Amazon software.

I think that pretty much covers it.

Ok now things are getting worse I tried to turn the wifi on and it didn't work, I tried to reboot and power off the tablet but it just won't work

{Edit} I want to know that by re-flashing the ROM is there a guarantee that those problems won't happen again.

One more thing is that I deleted the ROM from my kindle I can't transfer it from my laptop because the kindle hasn't been recognized after the jelly bean and I can't downloaded because wifi isn't working so what should I do

Thanks in advance
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
There are never any guarantees when it comes to computers and system software, but the LIKELINESS is very high that the problem will be fixed.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Boot into recovery and "mount" your sdcard to USB. The computer should still recognize it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarfacew:
I re-flashed the Rom, wifi is working so I dl ES file explorer and checked Root explorer, but when superuser request popped, I clicked allow but it didn't work it gave me the same message, the new thing is that superuser app added es file explorer to its list but I still can't copy apps in the app/system file.

I know I bored you to death and I'm really thankful for ur help but I really need the root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Ok, well try a different ROM. If the problem persists then we can try to think of something.

Ok, I have a dumb question, but from where do you run the DOS commands from? (ie. what directory?)..

c:\KFU?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Right-click on your KFU folder and select properties to find the folder's path. It may be different depending on wherever you've installed it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRock48:
Thanks. but not sure i understand.

Here is what I'm attempting to do.. using the root method described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638452 under "Getting to fastboot mode" there are a series of command line examples that seem to start with adb.... (ex. adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fbmode).

Under Rooting the stock software, the first step command line is "adb shell mount system"

my question is from where do I start (directory) so that when I enter these commands they work?

Or are you saying that I need to fun all these from the KFU directory? (or KFU/tools) or some other directory..

I appreciate the help and feedback.. :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
::eek:h my::

Wherever adb is...Right-click on that folder to find it's path so you can "cd" or change directories to it. Alternatively, you can Shift + Right-click on that folder and select something like "Open command window here".
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRock48:
Thanks again. with your help and instructions, I figured it out...the adb files are under my kfu/tools directory. Once I got there I am able to run the adb dos commands.

does anyone has the problem of overheating after a while of intense use? like playing games or watching a video?

it's almost too heat to touch the phone near the back camera sometimes?? is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subramanianv:
Having the same issue myself. No idea what's near the camera that could create such heat. Normally batteries only get heated up in my previous phones.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] voldomart13:
I have a evo view 4g and its not in service. Ide like to save battery by completely disabling the 3g/4g support. Is there a cwm package or something in the system I could remove to disable the radio?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] duke_nukem63:
If you just un-check mobile data it turns the 3g/4g radio off..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stevedebi:
I run my View in airplane mode and then just manually turn the WiFi on and off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] voldomart13:
No it still searches for signal thats what the bars are on the status bar. So in essence its still using power to search for a cell signal to connect to. Doing that stops data connection but it doesnt turn the radio off. You can do that on a phone but going through dial info thing. On our tablet you cant just do that it has no dialer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stevedebi:
It helps if you use the Quote function so we know to whom you are replying.

Look, in airplane mode my View does not search for signals. Airplane mode has to stop the radio, that is what it is for. I'll take a look at my View tonight, but I don't think I have any bars on my status bar, since I keep it in airplane mode all the time.

EDIT: If the radio is indeed still on, HTC has a serious problem in integrating hardware and Android.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stevedebi:
Ok, I'm on my view now and there is no signal strength icon. Turn on airplane mode to shut down the modem.

UPDATE 10/24 -

members posting here on XDA have turned me to an even better Facebook app..

Friendcaster

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree

All the features of stock Facebook app and then some.. theming and easier navigation, better notifications.. definitely worth checking out!

OLD:

Stumbled upon this searching the forums. I tried it out and so far so good.

"Fast for Facebook" is an app started by an XDA member and it has a couple different themes. It has most of the features the official Facebook app has but the major benefit is battery saving with background processes not running constantly.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZzFDKzZ:
I downloaded this app many months ago but at that time many features were missing. It seems like there's been a lot of progress so I'll give it another shot. I didn't know someone from XDA made it. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
Honestly its still a little buggy
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZzFDKzZ:
Yeah I ended uninstalling after a day of use. It has made a lot of progress but still not worth replacing the original FB app.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
There has been a ton of progress to the app. I thoroughly hated it months ago but now it stands as a decent competitor to the official app. The only real thing I don't like is no push notifications, but I check FB often enough for that not to matter.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] karthik2k2:
another good fb app

try flipster..i ve been using it for a while and its quite good. no frills approach to fb:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PharmNerd:
I recently tried Fast and Flipster, and quickly started getting a bunch of spam email from random Yahoo email addresses, spoofed with the names of my Facebook friends.

Maybe just a coincidence, but seemed pretty fishy to me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OneNutShort:
This is the second Samsung smartphone I've owned, the first being the galaxy nexus. While I like the physical home button, I'm a bit nervous of excessive wear that may result through a year or two of using it. Several years back I had an HTC HD2 essentially become unusable when the power button decided to take a dive due to normal wear and tear. My question is for those who have a longer history with Samsung than myself. Is it common for their physical buttons to wear out over time, or am I misguided in my concern. Thank you for any input you can provide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunkaskunk:
I've owned several Samsung phones and I have never had a physical key wear out. The last one I had for over 2 years and it still works perfect. I think they have an overall decent build quality, but there is always going to be the few that will wear out too soon which really comes down to bad luck. I wouldn't see any cause for concern personally. Others may have had different experiences...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OneNutShort:
That's good to know, kinda puts my mind at ease on the matter. Thanks for the response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] marsonist:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch0g0nda:
Hi guys,

Ok, so I've been Googling like a mofo for the past 3-4 days, trying this and that, investigating my issues, and I still need some help.

I've got a Bell I9000M that I would describe as the following:

1) Boots into any rom I flash via Odin (so far just GB and Froyo)

2) Internal SD works (I can see my files via USB), but "Internal Storage" shows unavailable.

3)I also flashed this phone before backing up my EFS folder so my unlock number is scrambled. I have a backup of the post unlocking-attempt EFS folder, but am unable to copy this back to where it needs to be. I've tried with ADB and no dice and I've tried copying it in with the phone on using Root Explorer - Root Explorer will copy the files back (and I'll even get the no SIM icon after a few minutes), but everything's gone and the EFS folder is empty when I reboot.

I'm kinda stuck. I just got this phone off CL last week thinking I'd flash it and go on my merry way like I normally do. I wasn't aware of the I9000M's horrid reliability. Anyway, any help would be appreciated!

Has anyone had a problem with a docking station CR S650 where it says its charging but its not charging at all?
[HTC One X] safos:
I too am having this problem. I place it in the dock and the red charging light turns on and the charging symbol is visible, but if left overnight it will be completely flat (as though it is drawing power from the phone).
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Yes, if I use a different charger than the one that came with the dock. (Even if it works to fast-charge the phone by itself, and I use the USB cable that came with the phone too.)

If I use the charger that came with the dock, all is fine.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I got two when they were first released and both work fine. You might want to try cleaning the connectors. Each of the five do different things and the one that's signaling the connection may be fine but the ones that actualy charge the device may not be connecting properly. Try a pencil eraser followed by a Q-Tip with some alcohol on it.

The only thing missing that would be nice is having the accuweather widget or news and weather widget come with the ROM, also have some options for wallpapers, it just defaults to your gallery. Other than that great start.

Now to give Jedi V7 a try. Peace.
