[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
I have scoured through pages and google searches for many related subjects and not one has been able to help me thus far.

I have a kindle fire that I rooted and put TWRP on it and android 4.1, a few months back.

The power port is damage so keeping it plugged in can be a challenge but it still works, anyways I digress.

I erased the entire SD apparently and that included my backups.

I can only boot into TWRP and normally that wouldn't be a problem except I can't connect my kindle through ADB commands and it doesn't show up on my computer. I have drivers installed and I have been trying so many different things so if you find something similar to what I'm talking about please let me know as I would love to have this kindle running again.

Many thanks in advance,

-TehRobot.

Mount the sdcard to USB in TWRP.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
Ok I tried all the check boxes for mounting, of course mounting the SDcard... but the computer won't recognize the kindle to be even there.

I was running 4.1.0 on c9 and erased the SD card.. After that it wouldn't show up on my computer.

So TWRP is my savior except I can't put any files onto it to flash.. :

Edit****

Does anyone think I should buy a factory cable or breakout board, I think that's what it is called, to try and force the kindle into recovery, then perhaps it would show up on my laptop.

Because I figure if it showed up before, and after the accidental wipe it no longer did I would have to imagine it's the kindle itself.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roseysdaddy:
I don't think that's it, if you're in TWRP you're already in recovery. Have you tried the Linux method in the soupkit sticky thread?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
SoupKit will fix your mounting issue OR look for a sticky in the KF General forum that explains how to do it manually.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
Thanks, going to put Mint 13 on my laptop and get started. I will report back after I get this kindle working again!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
Ok, so I have a partition on my HD with linux mint running on it with all the updates installed.

-DL soupkit.

read the readme.

It wont run in the terminal no matter what I do..

It does however show up in my Home/bin/soupkit.

I tried getting it to run in the terminal manually but to no avail.

I am only a breadth above novice with linux so bear with me please as I am trying to be as specific as possible with the problems I am encountering..

( I had it running in the terminal like normal but it kept asking for a sudo password that wasn't my password, but that was before I fully installed It, I thought I could make it work off the Demo version before full installation was completed.)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
In terminal, are you entering "soupkit.sh" ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
Yes, I followed the instructions as closely as possible.

It wouldn't open, it would say it installed properly but wouldn't run.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
A couple things to note:

In demo (Live) mode, there is no sudo password, you just press enter. Also, in Live mode, nothing gets written to disc, especially if you are running Live from a CD.

If you want to run Live rather than actually installing Linux to your computer, you need to do so from a USB drive with "persistence" (Google it)

I understand this is new to you but all of this information is in the SoupKit thread. Pay close attention to the information you find there, and if there is something it that you don't understand, try to research it to the best of your abilities.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehrobot:
No I understand, I had it installed from the windows.exe it gives. You just finish installation whence you log into mint. Anyways,

I was trying to get around having to use a USB, that's all. I will get a bigger USB and try that, I did read the guide pretty closely and I'm sure I can do it, I was just trying to go without USB.

Thanks for all your help though its been a hell of a lot easier.

Hi,

There are WP8 custom ROM for HTC HD2, is there (or WIP) WP8 Custom Rom for Samsung Focus?
[Focus General] vickee4u:
wp8 & wp 7.8 updates

Samsung Phones Users Are Not Yet So Lucky To Get All Updates Very Soon

As Nokia & MS Are Now Strategic Partners So All Favours Will Be Nokia & If Left Than Would Be Passed To Others

XDA DEVELOPERS ARE THE BEST.

THEY CAN GET WHAT THEY WISH

PLEASE REST IN PEACE TILL CUSTOM ROM OF WP8 IS REALSED FOR FOCUS & OTHER PHONES
[Focus General] jasonvelocity:
Speculation is that first gen phones may not get 7.8. HTC informally announced the HD7 would not be updated, and I fear the Focus will be left out as well.
[Focus General] 1031982:
If that happens, I will be running a custom ROM that is based off 7.8. It's just ridiculous NOT to push out 7.8 on supported devices.

I understand not being able to put Windows Phone 8 on them, but 7.8 is made for 7.x devices!
[Focus General] dazza9075:
I find it unlikely 7.8 wont hit all devices, one things for sure, the amount of FUD flying about on WP7/8 subjects, much of which originates from over zealous Android users, definitely muddies the waters of whats true and not.

Whether or not your Carrier and OEM pass on the update in good time is a completely different conversation, but I suspect MS would want 100% compliance and would force it if its balls were not stuck between a rock and a hard place!
[Focus General] 1031982:
That's kind of my point. I responded with pure emotions, and that didn't help. I used WindowBreak to side load apps. One of the things I did with my Focus was change my location to Canada for the keyboard fix. After it was installed, I changed it back to USA. If I need to do that again, I will. AT&T really is bad with the original devices and updates. They seem to only care if you have a Nokia phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrewk7750:
Probably not, idk how good the dev support is over in rezound land but I recently upgraded to a GS3 from my inc2 and seeing that the dev support for the inc is slowing down the s3 was a great switch. Are you contract upgrading or buying it used?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] johnrevival:
Have you looked into the DNA my brother got on and it's amazing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] d08speed3:
Buying it used been on the forums and heard battery life is crap so guess I won't be buying one
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
My upgrade is in may & i'll likely be getting the sgs III
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andrewk7750:
A good option for a used phone would probably be a galaxy nexus if you're into aosp, there cheap and would last you a good year or so.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] d08speed3:
Rezound is better than Galaxy Nexus. Better camera and processor
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Luigi711:
I haven't heard too much good come out of the rezound. But I really haven't had hands on with it. I stuck with my DInc 2 till I got sick of the viper Rom I got stuck with. Went and bought a DNA love it.

My contacts do sync from google.contacts.com to my phone, when i add/update/change them there.

But if i update a contact on my phone. (i.e. someone sends me a text saying they changed their number and i update it)

it doesn't sync back to the online google contacts. I realized this after checking google voice and seeing a few numbers that had no name

or contact info.. they were the ones i had updated on my phone, and not online. ... all my contacts are 'gmail' contacts, i don't have any 'phone contacts' .. i also double checked that.

I have forced sync of all google syncs, i have deleted data and cache in gmail.

I'm not sure what else i could do that will fix it. does anyone have any ideas?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrygo:
Hi Guys!

What is the definition of being Brick?

What happened:

It was low batt at 1% so i switch it off and plug in the charger. The moment the battery appeared, i tried to start it. However, i did not observe the subsequent event, and my phone now neither charges (no heat), not detected by computer nor respond even after i put in a working battery from another N7000.

I had been on paranoid android for 3 weeks.

Suspect power low or power died on boot up.

Any solutions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuandco:
Try another charger and another cable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrygo:

Definition of Brick

Same thing once happened to me.

Since it worked for me i m posting here.....for many it wud be ridiculous but u never know what to do in such cases.

I cleaned the surface of charging points by a small pin i.e. the port of micro usb where you insert the charger cable. Then i tried charging the battery. Wonder......it worked for me.......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionelia:
You should try to remove battery and let your phone without any power source for a several minutes.

Then put battery back and try.

Try long press the power button (30 seconds) just in case.

If it don't work, try to plug an USB JIG to see if your note go to download mode.

Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I've come to like this recovery better than CWM. It's much more user friendly and faster at some things. The touch screen part of this doesn't hurt either instead of hitting the volume button to scroll through a bunch of "no's".

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
Maybe:)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] trent25:
I have a question about that. What's going on there when trying to fix permissions?

It seems like TWRP restarts, but there is no confirmation whether permissions were fixed or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
I don't think there is a way to tell if it works or not
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
If there is a minor repair in permissions it happens in a blink. If many needs repairs you will see it working. If none is needed then red fail shows. It works. Trust me. Seen them all happen and I wondered same thing a ways back.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Tim1928:
If I do it will be awhile I have other projects I am working on so if some one wants to build a new version go ahead I just don't have time for a update right now. This version works fine imo
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] trent25:
That's all I needed to know. Thanx :D

I only started using TWRP recently and I only did 1 clean install + kernel since then, so as you're saying there probably wasn't much or anything to fix in permissions in that case.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] det0xx:
I'm not asking for etas... Instead just asking a simple question based of my reading from an update. I know you all have work and all but I was just wandering if it was possible since you had experience. And yes I did my Google research and read from.the official team win website

Thanks for the update to TWRP, buddy!

I was a bit surprised when I saw the Team Insomnia logo pop up.

When the recovery progam is created, does it build one monolithic chunk of code, or is it more like a conventional OS with a kernel plus a bunch of smaller bits? Or something else? And is the "kernel" clocked at a normal frequency?

I hope you don't mind my questions. I'm going back to read this whole thread now.

Thanks smartguy, this did fix the issue with "fix permission". Only thing I did notice is that once I fixed permission and restarted the phone, it did the initial setup but no settings were changed. Don't know if that's normal

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ghstrdr110:
I like that red theme.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Bob V:
That's what makes the world go round, I guess. Just FWIW, my own taste, I much prefer the older blueish theme on 2.3.2.3. I did download the v2 zip, went ahead and flashed it, but found the pervasive reds didn't really go well with the overall blue 'n black SlimBean ROM and the minimum apps I like to use. So I reflashed the older version of TWRP, which works well enough for me right now. Would be nice if I could still keep that blue theme with the newer version and its improvements, but I don't know how to accomplish that. Just to be clear, I still very much appreciate the devs great work on making the Exhibit so much nicer a phone to use on a daily basis than it was back in Gingerbread stock. What a difference!

Bob V
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
so you like the blue themed recovery because it looks better with the rom? even though the to never coincide haha well maybe someone will come along and update twrp with the reg color i have already have like 40+ gig of source dled on my pc not trying to add anymore haha
