[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evar678:
Okay, so heres the thing. I got this kindle back in late July of this year, and shortly after had it rooted. I flashed a CM10 kernel (Alien Droid) and it was fine. A few weeks later I noticed that the charging Icon on the kindle wasn't displaying, but the light changed orange still, so I didn't worry about it.

Three weeks later I noticed that most of the time, not even the orange light would come on unless I held the charger in. I haven't dropped the kindle or damaged the charger in any way, but I thought it was the charger, So, I bought a brand new one and it worked for a day, then same issue.

Eventually, the kindle refused to charge completely, and leaving it plugged in for an entire day would only restore about 20% of battery life.

And here's where I bricked it. I booted into TWRP to transfer some data off of my kindle, and when I was finished I clicked reboot, but, I accidentally misclicked into fastboot mode. When the kindle restarted, it showed the kindle fire logo, with the "press power button to select bootmode" at the bottom, but then a second later it turned off. Then it turned back on, and repeated the process. This went on indefinitely until the kindle finally lost power completely.

This happened about three weeks ago, and the kindle's been plugged in to its charger ever since. The kindle won't turn on, and there's no charging light whatsoever.

I have indeed heard about shorting a circuit inside the kindle fire, and using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430038

But, I have no idea how to do that for a kindle.

I really don't want to send request a new one, but I will if I absolutely have to.

This kindle is indeed on its warranty, but I don't mind voiding it.

Besides, I'm not quite sure where to request a new kindle anyway.

Please help!

-nevermind-

Ordered replacement Kindle.

But, help would still be nice, just incase this ever happens again, or anybody else has this issue.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Don't worry about voiding your warrantee it's already void there's no way you can hope that Amazon won't notice it's not stock. Really your best bet is getting a new battery at this point and I don't often say that but considering its really the only thing wrong with it besides the fact it's stuck in fastboot. I would think this approach is the lesser of to evils compared to possibly causing serious damage. It would be a good idea to replace your system when you install the new battery because all charging problems have been resolved with the latest builds.

Edit: very likely you will be paying for your replacement.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jji7skyline:
If it's a hardware failure, they probably won't notice that it's not the Stock ROM, since they won't be able to power it on :P
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Clearly the technical know how and plenty of spare batteries is all they really need to determine the state of the device. You fool yourself if you think that Amazon doesn't verify thousands of replacement claims it's all about money.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evar678:
Actually, the warranty doesn't state anything at all about the ROM. Amazon didn't even make their operating system. It's completely fine to replace the ROM. The warranty is responsible for their hardware, not software. How could they be responsible for an operating system they didn't make?

That's according to the support agent I talked to, since I asked him about it. (I said a 'friend' had the same problem with his kindle but had his kindle rooted). He said that he would be able to get a new one, because power failure issues are common problems with kindle fires.

It actually didn't get stuck in fastboot until a few weeks after it stopped charging. It had about 2% battery left before that happened. And, also, I did say that I don't care about voiding the warranty, but I'm not going to bother since I'm already able to get a replacement.

i have an inspire and i want to restore my old rom back on my phone because i just got it repaired. however when i try to boot to recovery it shows me a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a ! in the middle of it. when i boot to hboot it says locked but it also says s-off..is there a way for me to restore my old rom ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
You just need to flash a recovery. Look in the Ace Think Tank post #7 for a PDF guide. Start around the bottom of page 8 or 9, S-OFF with no recovery.

please what do i do?....help me out please
[HTC Inspire 4G] mejakola:
correct me if im wrong,

with your phone plugged in and in charge only mode unlock your bootloader by typing "

fastboot oem unlock

" into a terminal/cmd prompt on your computer. just make sure that you Relock your bootloader by typing

fastboot oem lock

into a terminal/cmd prompt once you are done else it may cause problems later on down the road if you forget about it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Kraig.kak:
I believe you have to use HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. But what are you trying to accomplish?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lemoyneiv:
I've found a few older threads related to this, but nothing in the S3 or even a Samsung forum.

The stock charger outputs 5v at 1 amp. My Kindle Fire charger is also microusb, and outputs 1.5 amps. I know the phone should only accept as much amperage as it can handle, but does anyone know what the upper limits on this are? People were talking about wiring up crazy Frankenstein cables to get 4 amps in other threads, but I'd assume that's way too much current for the battery to make use of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
From an electrical standpoint, that's a horrible thing to do. Like a person being electrocuted, its the amps that kill you, not the voltage. Its rated for that because the components are likely to fail above that range.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lemoyneiv:
If the old adages were all we were going by, our 1A chargers would be deadly. 1A across your heart is certainly (way more than) enough to kill you, but the resistance of your body vs the 5v output makes the amperage negligible. I've have experience working as an electrician, including on fighter jets. I know Ohm's law, believe me.

What I'm really asking is at what amperage does heat/risk of damage outweigh the faster charge times, and if the hardware caps the charging at a particular amperage in order to avoid damage. I have no plans on making some crazy 4A charging cable. I mainly want to know if using the 1.5A Kindle charger will hurt my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Lol Ohm's law..engraved on my arm. Though in short, you could generally get away with +10% on max voltage. 1.5A "shouldn't" affect it sparingly, though prolonged usage of it could shorten the battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
My stock phone charger was 5V, .7 amps. Regardless, the charging current is limited by the phone, not the charger. It has 2 charging modes. If hooked to a USB port it limits to .5 amps (set by USB standards). If connected to a dedicated charger the phone will charge to a higher limit, 1 amp (I think). You could hook a 100 amp charger to it with 0 gauge cable and it would still only draw a max of 1 amp.

These limits are to protect the life of the battery. High current charging is really bad for the battery,(not too good for your phone either when your battery explodes.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickassfoo:
So here is the scoop. I've searched my a5s off in these forums but I can't get ahead. I have a i9000m that i want to root, apparently there is no one click root option for 2.3.3 GB, I've tried to flash a custom rom through odin, but can't seem to find the drivers for the device to be recognized in download mode. Basically all I am looking to do is unlock my phone, so before i pull the rest of my hair out and go back to my ****e old blackberry I am posting here, I know I'm the turd giving up and posting a new thread for questions that were probably answered eons ago. I also read somewhere that upgrading my touch button firmware was a good idea before flashing a new kernal..,. now they have decided to stop working

SG i9000m

2.3.3

baseband i9000UGKG3

kernal version 2.6.35.7-i9000ugkg3

sj0829.kwon@sep-08#2

build number gingerbread.gkg3

so if anyone can help me that would be great, because let's face it the blackberry doesn't hold up and I'd like to give it a good toss

EDIT: I've found the correct driver for the phone to be recognized, but I can't seem to find the original kernel anywhere. all the links seem to be dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickassfoo:
So I'm wondering. CAN ANYONE SUPPLY THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FOR THE I9000M? I've read other users flashing the stock fw and then updating the keys in said fw and having their issue fixed. So can some kind soul please direct me to where I can find the files? Basically I'm looking for froyo 2.2.1 for the i9000m, but all the links are dead! and sammobile.com is down. can somebody supply said rom so I can flash back to original and fix my soft keys, which are essential to the galaxy..

Hi!

Just wondering if there's a work-around to get the remote on a Iphone headset to work on a DHD?

The mic, both earbuds and the middle button is working but not the volume control/skip tracks buttons.

I'm aware that it's a hardware issue, but do you know if there's an adapter I could use to get all the buttons working?

BTW it's regarding the Logitech Ultimate Ears 500vi that I just purchased. I've been using beats before but they suck donkey balls.

EDIT after setting up all settings. Now anytime I enter any app In paranoid settings, it fc. And the toggles under 'interface' are all at 0 now. Confused as to how that happened. Gonna try a cache wipe and data wipe in prefs.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] themisterwilson:
This is the only thing I've noticed. Very minor but, nonetheless, I'm guessing it's not intended to be there

It's only if you lower the DPI of the statusbar
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
im not getting that. i do on kingkang, but here i have the same 185dpi statusbar and i opened tapa and others and am not seeing the space.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cuezaireekaa:
ok, every app in PA preferences causes the settings to fc still.

i cleared data/cache, fixed permissions in recovery and still nothing. it doesnt give a fc error either, it just backs out into settings.

the only way to fix it was to reflash rom. then after configuring about 6 app in pa settings, it started doing it again. im only changing third party apps' dpi when this happens btw.

i could get a logcat a little later if needed.

also, all the apps look like this in the settings now.

Is EL26_StockACS5.zip a good one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
There may be someone in here better at answering that. I just always used the stock EL26 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeckDude:
When you say stock EL26 kernel do you mean a EL26 stock CWM kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeckDude:
ok got it thanks :D ill let you know how it goes. coming from MIUI jb 4.1.2 rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I would say yes, since you need CWM to flash the zip. Stock EL26 with stock recovery wont work. Another alternative would be to mobile odin EL29 Direct Boot CWM to flash. I personally like the direct boot EL29 method myself.

Ok, so at this time it is confirmed that some settings don't stick? Can anyone else confirm this?

Also, it was stated that ParanoidPreferences will FC after some tinkering in the app section? Can I get a few more confirmations on this as well? If you are having these FC's, have you tried pulling a different paranoid preferences apk from a comparable PA HDPI device rom, replacing the current one in system/app directory, setting permissions to RW-R--R-- and rebooting?

As I am sure you all know, I don't own an E4GT for testing purposes anymore, so I will work on things as timely as I can. Since this seems to be going well, I will update the op better.

From here on out, I cannot build the paranoidpreferences into the rom. It has been quoted that this is a request of the PA team, since the ParanoidPreferences are closed source and the core to PA's awesome app and dpi configuration. I will provide a link so that you can put it into the rom yourself, since after all, it is capable of being pulled from any one of their many roms.

Thanks guys for the support, and I will continue to try and bring you the latest updates.
