will tethering work with root? i'm guessing it would but just want to make sure before diving into this.

So that rumor was true after all. Great news. I'll def consider upgrading. Use to have 5gb for 20$ but the rest of the family wanted new phones so a new contact was started and the 5 gb was gone.

But now if only I can get 20+ down it'll be even sweeter.

It'd be like paying 30$ for 20 down TWC package.

Anyone call TMo to see if they will allow you to schedule the switch over now, or must we wait until the fifth?

I just called them, they said they are being trained on it today, and its not even available in their system yet. Have to call on the fifth to get it.

I did a chat with them online this morning. It took her about 10 minutes to reply and when she did, she said my brand new galaxy s3 didn't qualify. When I asked what a phone has to do with it, she had no reply. She listed off 4 or 5 2-3year old phones that she said qualified. I thanked her for her time and said I'd call back when they actually had real information.

We have an old 600 minute Family Talk Even More plan from like 8 years ago. Currently both of our lines have the Android data plan for $25 each, so this seems like a no-brainer, at least for me, as I use a lot of data. I wonder if wi-fi hotspot will still work? Though since I just upgraded to the SGSIII (had the G2 before) last week, I haven't tried it out again yet. Hmm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
i'm on the "android preferred data plan"

how do i get on the 'value plan' side?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redsoxticket:
This only applies to Value Plan and Classic Plan w/ unlimited voice & text at $70 and $90 respectively.

I have the 1,000 minutes nights & weekends for $40 and the grandfathered 5G soft cap at $20 plus I get with a 12% discount and phones are subsidized for a total is $53 per month. Also you can get unlimited minutes $10 when needed and cancel when not needed.

To switch over to the classic plan it would cost me additional $40 per month, not worth it, to bad for I would gladly pay $10 more for the unlimited data but it will not work with my present plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
I also pay $20 for the preferred data plan, 5 gigs before they throttle you. I'm in a very fast data area, suburb of Boston. My T-Mobile data speeds on their HSPA+ is faster then my Verizon LTE plan. Many people laugh at T-Mobile but if you are in one of their fast coverage areas, they are the best Carrier out there. I feel one of the best things about HSPA+ besides the speed is battery life. Love T-Mobile.

PS Hope they do something about their Customer Assistance, it use to be the best but as of late it takes forever just to talk with a human.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungamox34:
I flashed a Jelly Bean ROM on my Kindle Fire yesterday and it worked well. The ROM was CM10 and released on 17 Aug, 2012.

When I pressed install something called driver in Chainfire 3D, it told me to reboot my device, then stucked at black screen (with backlight) after Kindle Fire logo and wouldn't boot.

I plugged it to PCs, but they detected it as a USB Mass Storage device called "Android" with a disk drive called "Am", not an Android ADB Interface as usual. So I couldn't use KFU or adb commands on it, they showed <wating for device> of "device not found". I thought USB Debugging was disable, but now it's bricked and I can't enable it. Then I thought of using TWRP to restore.

I have TWRP 2.2 in my Kindle Fire. I searched for helps on Google. They told me to turn on the Kindle Fire and there would be a fire triangle then I could press the power button until the orange light and i could boot to TWRP. But there's no fire triangle on my Kindle, it showed Kindle Fire logo right after turned on and then a black screen. I so now I can't do anything, can't connect to PC as an Android Device, can't restore with TWRP,...

What should I do now...

Or my Kindle Fire will be a brick forever :( :(

here are some screenshot on my PC:

What color is your Kindle Fire logo?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungamox34:
It's normal. Do you mean that if it have TWRP, the logo will change its color?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
If you had a custom bootloader that would make accessing recovery easier, it would be obviously different from the stock logo.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Your problem isn't so much the Kindle, it's doing what it's supposed to do. The problem is your PC's inability to deal with Android device drivers properly (Yay Windows!). You have several options, though, depending on how much work you want to put into it. You can work to fix the driver issue, but it will be tricky. You could try a different computer, but no guarantees that it will work. You could try on a Mac, but (contrary to what you see on TV) the likeliness of having access to one is rather low. You could try setting up a Linux environment, but there's a lot to learn if you've never used it before. It all depends on how much you want a working Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungamox34:

Can anyone else help me please... I really need your help.... I don't know what to do now...

I even used the Firekit LiveUSB repair kit in this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430038

It worked on Ubuntu but couldn't find the Kindle and said <waiting for device> or "waiting for OMAP44xx device" as on Windows...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Are you freaking kidding me? Have I not responded? Are my words invisible to you?

Did you happen to read the thread about the Firekit? Do you have any idea what it's for or how to use it? Do you have ANY idea why I suggested using Linux? CAN you read?

Your Kindle isn't broken (I think I went over that with you). Jumping in and trying a bunch of stuff, not knowing how or why it works is, for lack of a better word, moronic, and just so happens to be the reason you're in the spot you're in right now. So take a breath, relax, maybe even READ a little, and if you have a question or don't understand something...

ASK!!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungamox34:
I'm so sorry. I posted that post with my mobile web browser and maybe when I scrolled the page down, I didn't notice your answer (because I thought it would be longer :p)

I'm not a native speaker so that reading and understanding the thread is hard for me, especially when it has a lot of things that I don't know.

You know that my Kindle bricked and I'm impatient now and really wanna find the fastest way to recover it... So that I really need someone, that have experienced about this problem to help me as soon as possible...

You suggest using Linux because Android has Linux kernel... but I don't know anything about Linux... so I asked you what I should do when using Linux, and found a tool that works on Linux.... but it couldn't fix my Kindle... I that's why I'm here to ask....

Sorry for asking you so much things. And thanks for what you said.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The reason I suggested Linux is because it is a readily available (free) option that is stable, smart and doesn't have any of the problems that Windows normally has. By eliminating these computer problems where you can, it lowers the overall margin of error and you greatly increase your chances of success.

Now, in order for Linux to work for the KF there are a few things you have to do first.

Start with this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22067293

Also, if your system is 64bit, you need to install the 32bit libraries. Google it.

And you're going to need adb and fastboot for Linux obviously, but stay away from the Android SDK, that just means more work for you.

[Edit:] I almost forgot, you'll need the KF driver (adbusb.ini) also.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trungamox34:
SOLVED!!!!

Many thanks to Soupmagnet :D :D

Anyone has the same problem could check the thread about his Soupkit

It automatically installs driver, adb and fastboot ready for you to work with your Kindle Fire on Linux :D :D And pokey9000's Firekit to rescue your Kindle Fire when it has booting problems :D :D

As well as your Kindle Fire connect to Linux, the kits work well :D :D

HELP - kindle Fire Stuck on Logo After Pressing Recovery

Ok, so it 3 am and I'm in tears and don't know what to do. I'm need so much help. Here is the order it went down

- kindle fire - normal

- pulled up youtube and watched rev something on how to root

- root went great and long story short I was perfectly running Ice Cream

- i got greedy and wanted jelly Bean

- I added the drivers through drag and drop to my kindle

- I didnt know how to enter back into recovery mode so I wen to restart the phone and pressed recovery instead

- black screen...for awhile..

- i restarted device and now its stuck on logo that says kindle fire and fire is orange

- I followed youtube videos that lead me to downloading the JDK and then then sdk apps..long story short i got the .android file, went through comand prompt and I did the adb everything and then did adb devises and then it didnt recognize the device seriel number...so I couldnt adb shell it

WHAT HAPPENED???? Omg I cant stop crying this is ridiculous...please help me...

I barely even know how to blog and if this will reach anyone...please tell me how to blog in the write place or write in a forum in the right place please.

Read tutorials

Thank you for quick response. I read the tutorials but I'm unsure of which fix to use. Should I use Soupkit, FireKit, or Root / Install a ROM / Unroot / Revert to Stock (A KFFB Supplement)? All three of them kinda sound like what happened to my kindle. I completely regret restarting in recovery! I'm sorry I was emotional but I just had a hard time. I tried the JDK and Android-Sdk commant prompt way again last night on a second computer. This computer actually recognized it as an Android Phone under device manager with a working ADB!...But when I ran command promt and typed in adb kill-server, adb devices and it ran but again didnt say any devices listed...I feel like I'm getting closer.

Kindle Stuck on Logo (Boot) after restarting in recovery

I installed the root through the kindle fire utility and successfully installed Energy's Ice Cream Sandwich CM9. This went perfect and then I dragged and dropped the jelly Bean info to the phone. Instead of going through TWPR I restarted the phone and clicked recovery instead of restart. Screen went black, I turned it off and restarted it and now it's stuck on Kindle Fire logo.

I followed instructions thorugh a YouTube video on downloading JDK and Android SDK. Everything went well and I went through command prompt but when I did adb devices - No devices were listed and no serial number.

My computer recognizes the Kindle as Android Phone but will not pull it up in devices. What kit do I use to root back to normal? Help.

(Less Emotional state explaination)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
When you first start your device, does the Kindle Fire logo stay at one brightness, or does it go dim at any point?

Also, when you say "I dragged and dropped the jelly Bean info to the phone", what do you mean by that exactly?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivan_mukthi:
RE: Kindle stuck at logo after restarting in recovery

When i start it the logo stays at one brightness and does not dim. The fire logo is orange. I never got a blue logo like I've seen on some tutorials. Everything i did to my kindle was followed by Revkelly? on youtube. That is step by step what I did...only mistake was restarting the phone under recovery. I meant my kindle...I was about to upgrade the root from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean. I downloaded the software for Jelly Bean and dragged and Dropped it to "Android Phone" which is how my computer recognized the Kindle (my computer still sees it that way but now only in device manager.) Anyway, instead of installing the jelly Bean through TWRP I thought if i restarted under recovery it would send me there...nope. Jelly Bean was never loaded on there but it is on the Kindles "memory" I guess. I installed Energy's Ice Cream CM9 i think it's called. Do you live in the states? Can I give you my phone number or e-mail or is there a way we can chat?? I'm really bad with reading things. I'm a visual learner hence all the youtube video how to's. Any help is so appreciated...thank you so much for writing me like you have.

Kindle Fire stuck in Recover TWRP and PC not finding

I'm guessing I may not have installed TWRP recovery and this is the issue! I watched this YouTube video (Kindle Fire stuck in Recover TWRP and PC not finding) and i just really feel like I can get in that way, but only issues is that my device is not being recognized. The only place the recognizes it is in device manager as Android Phone. When I use Kinlde Fire Utility and go in there through command promt, it shows up as online with unknown boot. I know the boot is stuck in recovery! If I try to run the Kindle Fire Utility 'Run' it says "Windows can not find tools/wget." If I click ok and then press 1 for normal it just says "The System cannot find the drive specified and also the path specified."

Hello everyone, I looked everywhere and cannot find the solution.

I've gotten data, mms, and voice to work on my at&t version of the htc one x, however, I cannot figure out how to get it to update to 4.0.4.

Since its a OTA update, does that mean i need to be on the AT&T network in order to receive the update? if so, f it im rooting my phone.

Thanks in advance guys.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I'm on Straight Talk. I updated it over wifi. You can also download it from the HTC site.

BUT now I'm crying because I can't root it now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] donkeybat64:
did that imrpove ur battery life at all? is it worth not being able to root it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] h1m:
People say that updated as helped battery life. Rooting is worth it but at the moment there isn't a rom out there as good as stock sense for the HOX. That my opinion of course.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
I didn't really use it much before I updated it. Had it a few hours before I updated it. I can get through a day of casual use without it dying. It doesn't use much battery at idle.

I like having root capabilities for TitaniumBackup, avast!, and just messing around with stuff. (e.g. deleting that stupid sound effect when booting.)

IMO While it's in 1.85 or lower: root it, then unlock the bootloader using that hex edit, then install TWRP and the rooted 2.20. Or trade me phones. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] achllles:
Try caulks rom. I'm not on the carrier but his rom had the carrier option on first boot set up. I could be wrong so make sure to nandroid backup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That would be my opinion as well. Or instead of stock rooted 2.20, one of the several custom ROMs which are already on later versions than AT&T's OTA.

I can say for a fact that KingCobra includes the Straight Talk APN.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
CleanROM >> Stock Sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Grnfinger:
Rooting and custom Rom will solve any battery issues. I can get 40 hours light use and 26 hours heavy use on a single charge using king cobra Rom. And its better than stock sense imo

glad to have that ugly menu bar gone!

I'm on Straight Talk, rooted on 1.85, then unlocked the bootloader. Then I was prompted to update to 4.04. My plan was to have some time to put on a JB rom from that scott guy, but I accidentally hit upload when the prompt came up. So I lost root. To answer your question, I have not noticed a difference in the battery life. It's still very good. W/ my usage I easily get 14-18 hours on one charge. I am however SUUUPER glad to get rid of that annoying menu bar on legacy apps. I have it configured so that tapping brings up the menu and long-holding is app swapping. Feels A LOT better to me.

However, here is my question. I'm not a pro "rooter", I'm can follow tutorials and instructions to unlock bootloaders and root devices. So being that I am unlocked but not rooted, can I still flash a different rom? If so who can point me in the direction of instructions as to how to do so. Thanks!:good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Unlock with the token you got before. Install recovery. Flash rom of choice. Just remember that now you will have to flash kernel separate in fastboot.

Ok friend just got his new one x on att just moments ago.. wanted it rooted.. so i did i think.

installed Rom toolbox and tried to add that Twrp or what ever its caled custoer recovery (ot Clockwork mod)

Im trying everyting and i got my boot loader key thing but i cant submit it to htc cause im guessing att wants it to sstay locked..

I cannot boot into the rom or anything i have a downloaded folder of http://www.mediafire.com/?d41k2x8sm9gesup

You can flash an RUU while in bootloader mode.

Your problem is that you didn't unlock the bootloader and you are running a third party recovery. The security "features" of the bootloader being locked and you being S-ON prevent the phone from booting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ckombo:
Well you would have had to have rooted it first before installing a custom recovery like twrp.

To get back, you'll want to:

Download the RUU file from this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1670238

Download the HTC driver from this link

HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exehttp://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

Install the HTC driver and restart your computer

Plug in your phone and run the Ruu.exe file

This will put your phone back to the way it was when you bought it.

Then, take some time and read the threads about rooting and installing twrp before trying again.

Also, try not to post questions in the Dev section.

First, you double posted in the Dev section,, if you browse this forum you'll quickly realize that there a no other questions in here..... As such your thread is going to be moved, and you'll probably be flamed more than I'm flaming you now.

Second, if your bootloader was locked how did you try to flash TWRP, If you're still locked are you tampered? Just flash a stock RUU. If 1.85 doesn't work flash a newer one, and then pray to god someone roots it.

Third, with the S-OFF ,, well I would like to know what this has to do with anything as this hasn't been achieved yet. You obviously did a ton of reading before you embarked on your noob flashing.

If you're locked and not tampered (which I doubt) just take your phone back to the store and give them some BS like your battery is bad and have them swap you phone out (if you're ATT).
