[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
The xcore soft seems fake to me. When I installed, and pressed on to disable the core, it showed the success message in the app, EVEN THOUGH the superuser permission dialog box was still open and I had not granted the permission yet.

I don't know, seems a script which generate a text message and starts a strange service . Maybe I'm wrong , but the app quality is questionable.

Regards
[HTC Desire X] Makkuro Kishin:
Cause I'm not using both cores when the screen is locked, I'm not even using one core completely and it would be good to be able to reduce unnecessary battery usage.

Yet, I have certain concerns about this app, wouldn't want to end up realizing that it's just a fake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkness77:
Hi guys.

Been trying to figure this our for hours.

I flashed AOSPxXx-ICS-20121111 on my phone but not it runs brutally slow. It takes a like 30 seconds to launch apps.

I followed this steps.

booted to cwm

wiped user data

wiped cache

wiped dalvik cache

install rom

rebooted

let it sit for 10+ mins

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Wipe all of the above, plus the system partition.

I cant confirm that the new rom wipes the system partition for you, but if not, then you dirty flashed.

that will cause all kinds of trouble.

Also, did you add any mods like a new kernel ?

I ultimately suggest a new full wipe, and flash. and even a new download of the rom to ensure a clean build.

Sometimes they arrive all borked up....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deron37129:
Rewipe reflash nd if persist reboot a couple times sometimes it can be slow after aa flash give a couple of reboots nd itll snap too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
What else did you flash? Theme, modem,??

Just wipe and re flash. Don't restore apps, get them from the market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] darkness77:
All I did was flash a new rom, nothing else. I will try again =)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] angryfinger:
I'm completely new to Android and was interested at some point in trying to Flash some new ROMs. I found a really easy method that rooted my phone for me and thought I was good to go. I didn't realize until later that the Verizon bootloader is locked and I should have dealt with that as well.

I downloaded Titanium Backup and Titanium Memory sync which I used to install the CWM. Once that was installed I thought it would be a good idea to try and backup the current (read: Stock) rom that I had on my phone in case anything went wrong I could always go back to that. Big mistake. As soon as I tried to back it up I got a black screen with a yellow, triangular sign with an exclamation point in the middle and the following copy: "software not authorized by Verizon has been found on your phone, turn your phone off and go to the verizon store immediately" and it froze my phone. I can't bypass it or anyting. Tried pulling the battery, nothing helped.

Someone pointed me to this post on XDA on how to restore to stock using ODIN. The problem is I don't understand a few things.

Instructions

1) Download the file below I was able to do this and unzipe it (or untar it whatever), the folder is currently on my desktop

2) Put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer I was able to do this as well. My phone is downoad mode and says on top left

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME SCH-I605

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 COUNTS)

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICAL

3) Open Odin and make sure your phone is selected Here's where I get confused.Here are the contents of the folder I download [had to remove an imgur link here on what my phone was showing because I'm a new member] Where is ODIN and how the hell do I open it and select my phone?

4) Put the downloaded file in the PDA box Not sure where the PDA box is or what I'm suposed to put in it

5) Press start Pretty sure this will be self-explanatory if I can figure out the previous steps

6) Enjoy a stock phone

Does anyone have familiarity with this and would be willing to possibly walking me through it. I cannot afford to have my phone bricked like this. Please, any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gallowaykelvin:
xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 get Odin from here. Also you need to keep the tar you down loaded zipped so you may need to download it again. Also check md5 of files you download if they provide them.

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

Also putting the file in the pda, you will see it when you open Odin.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kevinbauman:
You probably try to flash a custom recovery without your bootloader being unlocked. Follow the instructions already given and the make sure you unlock you bootloader prior to flashing a custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ficjay:
1st and formost get back to a stock, working phone. Put it into downloading (power, voume down, home key) and in PDA section of ODIN put stock tar. Do not unzip it! ODIN uses tar format if you open you effed up the file :) .

Then use Adam's technique to root and put in recovery usings CASUAL and Odin combination. You can find it in Original Development section. Anybody can do it but you can PM me if you need help. I'm with patients right now but I'll answer as quick as I can.

Btw, odin and all the other files you would need are in the section I referred to.

My mother got my niece a Kindle fire 2 for Christmas. I wanted to root it and turn it into a android based device. I rooted it successfully but when I tried to get it into recovery it just shutdown on me. I got to the screen with the triangle and whatever I forgot but after, it just won't come on.

I am an experience person at rooting/flashing devices I just didn't really realize it was a kindle fire 2 ( I really don't keep up with kindle products). I ordered as factory usb cable which was almost a month ago, but when I do get this cable how do I get my niece kindle to boot back up or can it be done without that cable.

Thanks for the help in advance.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] chronicfathead:
I haven't done it myself, but you should be able to get into fastball mode and then push certain partitions back onto the KF 2. There is a thread for restoring a device in this forum, which may help if you didn't backup the partitions as soon as you rooted.

Lol, damn auto-correct.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] plinders:
I'm in exactly the same boat as you OP, but I've gotten a factory cable. Not that it really helped though, fastboot doesn't find my device when plugged in with the factory cable. I suspect it's a driver issue, but I can't fix that right now as I'm away from my normal computer.

Also, someone advised me in a different thread to take off the back cover and short the USB, just like you would with a bricked KF1. That didn't work either.

I'm going to put some more time into fixing my device after this weekend.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] 19ant89:
Ok so i order my factory cable almost been a month now. I got really tired of waiting on it.

So last night i decided to make my own factory cable. The instructions looked simple, connect a wire from pin 1 to pin 4. I did that and my device was still not going into fastboot. Is there some type of program that i am suppose to use with the factory cable. If no programs then maybe i didnt build the cable right.

Then I will just have to wait till I recieve my factory boot cable and try again.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] tready:
i dont no if this will work for you guys but i got out of a boot loop caused by me freezing the home launcher.Like you my kindle couldn't be seen by adb so after hours of messing about i downloaded super one click root using this programe to install the drivers i then did adb devices and it was back online.So from there i used the KFU to root as this boots the KF to that screen which askes you to save or not save but from that screen i was able to pull down the notifications bar and go to more from there i could hit the star button and get to silk i downloaded titanium backup and unfroze the home launcher rebooted and my kindle was back alive.Just one thing to note after doing this my kf couldnt be seen by the pc as a mass storage device you need to uninstall the drivers super one click installed and all is well hope this helps.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] 19ant89:

Where did you get the cable? I would check out Skorpn. He makes them here at XDA and is really good about quality and shipping. If you live in the US it shouldn't take more than a week I assume to get the cable. Ordering one from him after work

I been trying to make this factory fastboot cable for days now. Do I suppose to modify a motorola usb cable because right now I am using a samsung usb cable. I know my soldering aint that bad, never had any problems soldering anything else.

Any help, I will be greatly thankful.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Jowyn:
Mmm not very knowledgeable on this topic, but I succesfully built my own fastboot cable yesterday evening and, from what I understood, just any usb cable would do. I mean, provided it has a usb plug on one side and a micro-usb on the other ;)

I just took the first cable that came to my hand, carefully cut open the micro-usb plug, and soldered points 1 and 4 visible on the enclosed image (upper figure, and do not link 4 and 5 as is displayed, I think this is for OTG). It was a work of patience as the plug was really small, but I finally managed it!

Good luck with yours!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] 19ant89:
Finally got my factory cable and guess what. Kindle still won't come on or even go into fastboot. I believe the one I made was a good one.

Question is still in the air, is there some kind of software i suppose to run for fastboot to work or does the kindle suppose to go into fastboot as soon as I plug it into the pc.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:
It is supposed to boot up when connected to comp and kf.do u think battery is dead? When u say wont come on do you mean screen backlight wont even turn on. If not then try turning off kf plug fb cable into comp then plug into kf. It should boot into fb mode. Also your cable might not be made well(just a suggestion)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] 19ant89:
When I say it wont come on, I mean the back light is not coming on or the power button wont light up as if something is connected. And yes I thought it was my cable that I made, now the one I bought is here and still no luck. I let it charge before but I'm going to let it charge the entire night and try again tomorrow.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Jowyn:
I had the same behaviour (or lack of behaviour :/) with my first kf2, on which I had tried to install the KF1 boot - yeah I know, you never read enough before flashing :P

No reply at all, either with normal usb, charger, or selfmade fastboot cable (tested on my new kf2)...

The thing is as soon as I saw it was bricked, I called Amazon for a solution ("don't know what happened, yesterday evening all was ok, this morning it wouldn't boot"). They asked me to perform a few tests (basically let it charge for 2 hours and try to boot again), and when I called back they just started the replacement procedure: I had a new item within 3 days, and 1 month to send the first back (carriage paid).

I just sent the first one back, so maybe they'll investigate and charge me, but honestly I doubt they'd give a damn :D
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] plinders:
I'm in _exactly_ the same situation. I'm going to try sending Amazon an e-mail about it, although the device was gifted to me from the US and I live in The Netherlands.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Jowyn:
It really doesn't matter: get the call center on the phone, all they will ask for is the email address of your amazon account (the account which you registered the kindle on).

I suppose the registration contains the device ID, which gives them the possibility to recover the order number or something.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] plinders:
I'm going to try again tomorrow. I started a chat with a helpdesk employee who said I need to give them the address of the person who gifted me the Kindle from the US, so that they can ship a free replacement that way, and then that person can ship it my way again.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Jowyn:
My kindle was a gift as well, and all the french call desk asked me was my email address, then (after a few tests to confirm the kf was bricked) my postal address to ship the new kindle.

The person who offered me the kindle was never mentioned.

Maybe they have different policies depending on the country? Maybe I was just lucky?

Anyway I hope it turns out the best way for you, too ;)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] 19ant89:
Ya I let my device charge for a full day, plugged it into the pc with the fastboot cable and still nothing. I'm just going to call Amazon tomorrow and have them send me another because this thing is un-brickable and I wasted to much time on it.

For example one could use Nova Launcher + Minimalistic Text + Widgetlocker etc.

While I am working at the Ubuntu theme at the moment, I am looking for the effect that Ubuntu mobile gives when you slide your finger across

And also all effects that Ubuntu os supports.

My S7 failed to mount some of my SDCards for some reason. I am not sure if it is because I have a corrupted file system, but I used the fsck_msdos from CM7 Nexus One and it seems to work fine now.

fsck_msdos was seg faulting every time it tried to scan my 8GB SDHC card. I tried a different 8GB card, and it produced the same result.

I just pushed the newer fsck_msdos to /system/bin, and experienced no more issues after that.

It might be related to the patch on fsck_msdos fixed in Gingerbread:
