[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] scotbhoy75:
Please help!

I recently rooted my sons Kindle fire 2 using TWRP, all was going ok until reboot when screen would flash every couple of seconds, flashing the kindle logo even when at the carousel screen etc.. also slow and slow to react to touch of the digitiser screen. From here I think I have got it terribly wrong and have wiped the KF of its OS and with it also stuck in fastboot.

I have made wrong selections on TWRP, then used TWRP command to boot the KF into fastboot. Now have no way to get it out of fastboot, only recognised on windows 7 device manager as Kindle Fire - Android ADB interface and also as a Other Devices - coprocessor which has no recognised driver.

Please note: i think I used nearly all options in TWRP and this is why I think I may have wiped the OS from the KF.

The fastboot screen is the traffic light logo, the green light is the only light that flashes!

when holding for 20 secs then powering back up it boots straight to fastboot after 1 sec of kindle logo showing.

Has anyway managed to save a KF2 from this state?

Totally Mental!

Ok, firstly I feel bad to all of you who do have a bricked Kindle but I have no idea how my Kindle has now recovered!

I bought another Kindle Fire as I made the conclusion that I had totally made my son's unusable. Tried all the recovery programmes with no joy. Was permanently stuck in fastboot mode with the assumption that no OS was on it after deleting all by accident.

My plan was to use the replacement box and put the bricked Kindle in it and return it to the store where i got the new one from, explain to the staff member that my son had just purchased this the other day and on start up and registering the device he was then informed that the Kindle needed to update the firmware. On reboot this Kindle would always show this fastboot screen, explain that I had a look also and could not get it back to its normal state. So I went round but switched off the Kindle first, informed the staff member of what has happened at the same time handing it over to her whilst switching on. I noticed that the Kindle logo as normal would come up but normally within a second it would go to the fastboot screen. This did not happen and I was like twat u twat you have brought round the new one by mistake! right enough the Kindle started up with the original first setup state. So I got myself away as quickly as possible and thought I will just do the same at another branch but this time put the right Kindle in the box. So now back at the house made a cup of tea and sat down, the Kindle which I left behind was on the table next to me and was switched off, I pressed the power button for some reason on it, to my surprise I was welcomed with also the orignal new set up screen! This was the new Kindle!!!!!!!!! I did take the bricked Kindle to the branch and for some reason it was now working, I have even just updated it from to 10.2.6 as it was on 10.2.0 with no issues, turned it on and off nearly 10 times all is perfect!

Unbelievable totally unbelievable! do not understand how the Kindle is now back in play!

I have rebooted tried all options of KFU, KFFirstAide etc etc..... always instantly rebooted in fastboot state! even upto an hour before going round to the shop it was still doing the same, I also tried to electrocute the Kindle so the mainboard would be fried! cant be believe it!

Sorry I will never be able to give an explanation of how it worked!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

It seems as if you got off lucky. I incorrectly installed CyanogenMod, and got stuck on the boot anmation. Of course, I din't make a backup, and so I went to another thread and someone stupidly said to wipe the system. Now I'm left without an OS, as TWRP tells me. I don't know how I am going to fix this, as I can't post a thread because I have less than 10 posts.

Restore your entire system with fastboot

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] chronicfathead:
Surely you just need to flash CM10.1 again?

Normally it happens when you flash a custom ROM over the KF2 standard rom. Wiping system and flashing cm10.1 again should allow you to boot, or you might have to do a factory reset to wipe the leftovers out.

Trying to use a Motorola s10-hd with my nexus 4 and the headset pairs fine and the controls on the headset can skip tracks, enable voice search and turn volume up and down but the audio still only plays through the phone not the headset. Wtf?!?

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Tried resetting the headset and rebooting phone but still same issue.

Yup. Same headphones, same issue. Some more info: I use P.A.C. 20.1.0 with Franco kernel milestone 1. The headphones initially work upon first discovering but never works after that. The sound plays through the phone speakers even though it says connected. Really frustrating. Tried unpairing, rebooting, resetting the headphones, to no avail.

Previous thread was posted in GT-i9305 forum by mistake. I can't delete it. Please disregard it.

Hello;

I know the Koss Porta Pro KTC is designed for iPhone, and this isn't a thread about getting the volume buttons to work, although if anyone knows of a way that wouldn't involve chopping the headset up, I'm all ears.

My question more closely regards some strange behaviour I've noticed when trying to use it to answer calls. If I use the button on the headset itself, it'll answer the call, but use the microphone on the phone for the duration of the call. I then need to remove the headphones and plug them back in to reset the configuration.

If I answer the call by swiping the screen, I can use the microphone on the headset just fine.

Somehow, for some reason, the configuration's become switched round and it's making me miserable.

Specs:

Galaxy S3 GT-i9300

Android 4.1.2 XXELLA

ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2

I must be running a ROM, since I can get superSU working, but I used one of those "hurp durp root ur phone in 3 steps" guides so I'm not entirely sure what I used. I'm not very smart with this stuff but I'm not looking to step on any toes.

If anyone knows how I can sort this out, I'd appreciate it.

Well, I got it today. Case itself is OK, it's not state of the art device like VAJA for example, but it's good enough and it's better that nothing. The one thing is concernes me the most it this belt clip mechanism. I am not confident about it at all, in fact, I am afraid to put this thing on to my belt, feels like this little plastic ping is not very solid and unclipping mechanism is very easy to trigger by accident. I belive, case for XDA 1 has the same belt clip. Why the didn't put in there a descent ULTRACLIP? Now I have to do it myself... Have an old VAJA case in my drawer and I think I am going to try modding this case with UTLRACLIP.

Though mobile odin won't raise counter but custom ROM itself will raise counter.as custom ROM will have CWM and /Or custom kernel which raise counter, so no meaning to use mobile odin for custom ROM.

Ok, since i realize i posted this in the wrong phone group lol...Let's try this again

About a month ago i upgraded my Skyrocket to CM10, everything worked perfectly..then suddenly today i went to go make a text message and my phone restarted. instead of it booting right back up it continues to sit there and vibrate periodically. occasionally the Samsung Logo will appear and it will look like it's booting, the CM10 bootscreen appears then freezes and goes black with the random vibrations..i've tried holding the power and Vol. Down buttons to get into the recovery menu but nothing happens..

Does anybody know what the hell happend to my phone? and did my phone suddenly turn into a little vibrating brick?

I have a backup of all the user and system data on a CM10.1 nightly (3/16, not that it really matters) and was going to do a clean flash of the most recent nightly. Is it safe to restore the system data after flashing the ROM? I assume this is where all my ROM settings, homescreen layouts, etc. are stored. I've seen a lot of threads where people say not to restore the system data, but I wouldn't think that would be an issue going from one nightly to another on the same ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spitfire2425:
You can restore system apps but not other system data as far as I know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
You can try it but I wouldn't recommend it. I've had luck with restoring only the system data that has the tibu icon, wifi, accounts,etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sheeze:
Ahh that's a bummer. So do you guys just write down your settings and manually set them up again? There should be an easy way of restoring this stuff, at least the homescreen layouts/Trebuchet settings.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sheeze:
I've only ever restored the user data and that seems to work okay. I guess another question would be how often do you do a fresh flash? Unless I encounter problems, I usually just dirty flash.

I never understood why Titanium Backup didn't explain that better. The app rocks but they make it sound like a lazy man's restore tool lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sheeze:
Oh, I thought it just meant not doing the wipe data/factory reset step when installing the ROM, though I do see your point that restoring data over a clean ROM would be essentially a dirty flash. What about when you're just restoring user data and not any system data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Clean flash every time, or you're gonna be one of the dummies making stupid threads about why your apps fc, and blaming the Rom for your mistakes.

Yes dirty flashes work sometimes, but for noobs it causes problems.

Restoring the data for user apps via titanium backup is usually OK. I am yet to experience any issues doing so.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] johnsmith10:
Alright, here's the problem,when the official jb 4.1.2 update came out a few days ago I decided to re-root and try a custom rom (tried on ICS but never was successful, also never bricked). I rooted fine and updated to safestrap 3.11, found a cm 10.1 rom online, went through all the steps but never wiped the stock system so every time I tried to boot it would try to dual boot and not work. I finally realized that i was wiping the rom system and not the stock which was why it would never work. So, wiped both caches, factory reset, and system wiped as per instructed and after that I installed the cm 10.1 in rom slot 1. Rom booted great worked fairly well but was a bit buggy for the first day, installed gapps no problem. After messing with it for a day I decided to switch back to stock system because i had all my contacts on backup assistant which wasnt available on the cm rom. when i tried to restore stock, I realize that somehow my backup got erased or something because all it is is an empty folder and took no time at all to restore, also wont boot. Any suggestions?

OK had my baby nearly a week now (1 week old Saturday).

I'd say definately well worth the outlay.

My e-mail is bugging me though.

Firstly, I have configured her to check for e-mails every 60 mins. Well it just ain't happening. I reckon she checks for my e-mails 2-3 times a day max. Of course I can go in at anytime and connect but, I want it to be automatic.

Secondly, my homermail wav file (e-mail notification works fine on SPV and xda 1) don't work all the time ? it plays sometimes but not all the time.

Lasty, when the server does check for mail, if I have cleared my pop3 account, through my pc then the nect check it downloads nothing and clears out all my e-mails, even if they are unread.

It's like if there is nothing on the server, it cleans my inbox on my xda 2.

I can understand why it happens but surely there are settings to prevent it (i can't find em). I like to keep some e-mails in my inbox, cus they can be useful. Sure they are on my pc but I want em locally and I don't want to sync my emails just my calender and tasks.

Cheers, Shire

PS still luv my baby, maybes I need a better e-mail application ?
