[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sector123:
Hey,

I keep on getting the "USB Device not recognized" message on my rooted Kindle Fire HD with stock ROM 7.2.3.

Tried on several Windows 7&8 machines to no avail. The USB ports are checked and working with an external harddrive, mouse etc.

Does anyone have a clue? It actually seems to be an issue on the Kindle device itself and isn't reporting itself as an existing device?

I tried several things, like:

- Holding power button 20+ sec while the USB is connected.

- Reboot PC etc.

- ADB, verifying the drivers the 0x1949 etc.

Nothing helps. Please let me know if you know the solution!

Thanks

Sector!

Well, it seems like you forgot about one very important thing: the USB! :cowboy:

Use only the original cable that came with the Fire. Not anything else! There is a reason why the company gives a USB cable when you buy the device, you know. ;)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sector123:
Cable isn't the problem

Unfortunately I already tried with the official cable. Same problem. Would a reset to factory defaults resolve this? And do I then keep my root access?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phunzoid:
any luck with this?...i just got a Kindle Fire HD and am having the same problem...ADB drivers seem to be working fine, and the Kindle is rooted, but it does not show up at all in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it :confused:

also, i've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the ADB drivers several times, but still nothing in Win Explorer...one thing i notice, even though i delete/uninstall all Kindle drivers i see in Device Manager, including "Hidden Devices", when i go to reinstall the drivers, i get a pop-up windows saying ADB drivers are already installed, and asking if i would still like to re-install the drives...how do i delete everything relating to the Kindle on my PC, so that i can do a completely fresh install of the drivers?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sector123:
Nope still nothing.

Hmmm the ADB drivers aren't working for me, so you are one step closer! I still have the problem and am still considering a full reset, but afraid of bricking....

aaaaarggggghhhhh....:crying: i did a totally fresh install of Win7 x64 on a brand new hard drive...and this computer still won't recognize the Kindle as a mass storage device?!?!?....so i have to assume there is something wrong with the computer...but ADB works, and i was able to root the Kindle with this computer :eek:

Be sure ADB is enabled on the device itself if you have ever wiped the sdcard or have a custom ROM installed.

i was never able to get one of my PCs to recognize the KFHD as a USB storage device, but at least ADB works...so i've decided to just wirelessly connect (w/ AirDroid, WiFi File Transfer,etc.) to the Kindle for file/media transfers...an even better solution than using a USB cable :victory:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidIt!:
I've noticed with other devices that I've rooted that windows is VERY tempermental when it comes to adb and windows recognizing any android device. If you have everything installed correctly, I have actually found sometimes simply disconecting your kindle from your computer and rebooting both and then reconnecting helps sometimes. Like I said windows is VERY tempermental. Worked for me more than once with my phone and my kindle.

Two Kindles- One does and one doesn't

Funny thing is, I have two KFHD 7" both rooted. Windows sees one but not the other. Device manager shows Kindle Fire- Android ADB Interface on the one not showing up in Explorer and shows same plus Portable Device-Kindle Fire on working one.

Have been able to install 2nd boot loader on the working one and CM 10, but can't do anything else with the other. I have a fast boot cable and have restored it back and wiped several times to no avail.

One thing I noticed, The one that doesn't recognize in explorer only shows to have 12.9 GB space while other working one shows 27.9Gb space.

I have been successful with a KFHD 8.9, KF 7" 1st gen and KF2 and (1) KFHD 7" in rooting, 2nd boot loader and custom ROMs (along with many other Android devices), but not this one 7" HD.

This thing is driving me crazy.

Help Plz

EDIT: Okay going thru my notes I think that I have figured out what has caused this (still don't know how to fix). It seems that after the first root, wifi was on and it updated itself to 7.3.1. It is only after this, that I can't get ADB and flash boot loader or files to SD card. Using KFHD rescue tool and KFFirst aid I have flashed back to 7.2.3 with root (tried both) , but still can't get ADB. Fastboot with factory cable works fine though. With the kindle booted up on 7.2.3 rooted or 7.3.1 non root, Windows still doesn't see the device. Device manager shows ADB device but not the SD card part of the device. Is there any way to recover everything back to stock (non root) to start fresh?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joem68:
Finally Fixed

Problem solved:

Here is what I did to fix the problem.

If you haven't preformed this fix for windows, do this first. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36373627

First plug in device to computer and navigate to device manager. Then go to kindle fire and expand to show Android ADB Interface. Right click on it and select "Scan for Hardware changes". Let it run. If it finds nothing don't worry. Then right click again and select update driver. Navigate to locate drivers myself. If you have KFFirstAide or other utility locate to where the ADB drivers are in that file and select ok. It will go through the process and install the drivers. After doing this you should now be able to see the device through explorer and transfer files.

I now have 2nd bootloader and CM 10.1 (Hashcode) up and running great. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjaldroid:
Hi all,

Brand new here. Searched around, both generally and in the Samsung Tab 10.1 fora, but to no avail. Then decided to sign up, survived the terrible noob video and so here I am.

I have a (European) Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110 (wifi only) with Polaris Office v4.0.3027 installed.

Polaris seems to remember everything from every app I ever copied and remembers it forever. Whether I copied from an email-client, a url, text, maps, whatever, it keeps gathering clipboard data and presents all of them whenever I need to paste something into an office-file.

The only way to get rid of them is to delete each one seperately within Polaris itself. I tried clearing the cache, use apps that are supposed to clear all clipboard data, but they only clear my ICS v4.0.3 clipboard.

(In other threads I read about Polaris doing the opposite (not remembering), and it was argued that Polaris has a seperate clipboard. It seems so.)

Is there a way / an app that gets rid of the old data in one click, or a lib to delete or whatever, or something that will prevent Polaris from gathering all this external data?

All help and suggestions greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
So despite posts on here suggesting that our phone wouldn't work with the Standard Dock for the Bionic, I decided to take the plunge and snag one anyways ($10.99 w/free shipping on Amazon here if you're Prime). I figured I could eat the cost if it wouldn't work, and I also ordered a small micro usb 'extension cord' at the same time, to see if that would help.

The dock arrived today and I popped the phone on the dock - it doesn't sit flush in the cradle (as to be expected, the port is shifted to the left), but it does connect, the phone recognizes it's connected (and offers various dock modes), and it charges the device (when plugged in, of course).

I still may try and disassemble the device and shift the plug over to make it fit flush, but it does work as is.

Just figured I'd share in case anyone else just wanted a simple dock/charging station wasn't up to spending the $80+ that the A2 specific HD dock goes for.
[Motorola Atrix 2] skearton:
If you have time, would you mind posting a picture of it sitting in the cradle for me? I would love to get one, but I'm picky about dumb things. Just wanted to see what I would be looking at.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
Will do once I find batteries for my 'real' camera. So used to using the phone as a camera these days.

But I can tell you it sticks up and out, and looks awkward as hell. So it's probably not going to be aesthetically pleasing to you. ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] skearton:
That's what I was thinking.

Maybe I can take a dremel to it?
[Motorola Atrix 2] :
I have to apologize - I'm having a comedy of errors here when it comes to trying to get pictures (that aren't from the phone itself, at least). I can't find the main camera. I found an older camera but it's apparently dead (got a pretty purple grainy picture at my attempt). If I do happen to find that regular camera anytime soon, I'll snap some pictures.

In the meanwhile, I've linked to 2 pictures of the dock w/o the phone in it (taken by the phone, ofc) ... instead of sitting flush, the phone is over to the left about the length of my pinky. Please ignore my fat hands holding said dock.

[Motorola Atrix 2] :
So I took it apart (and probably destroyed it, but oh well) ... there's 2 rubber pads on the bottom, one on each side. Beneath each pad are two small phillips head screws. Pop those four out and the device should separate. I tried making my own hole next to where it comes by default (stretching the cabling, flipping the shield, etc), even marking the usb so that it was extended out far enough. No dice. Worked briefly as a dock again but I wasn't happy with how unsteady it was and fiddled with it more, and now it doesn't recognize it as dock.

If anyone else wants to hack at it and is willing to cover your own shipping costs, toss me a PM and I'll be happy to send in onward.

Hi, Guys:

I just flashed my note from 4.04 to JB 4.1.2. Everything is great and the system is very smooth. But there is one problem happened. When I call someone or be called, I can hear very clearly, but the other side, they can't hear me clearly and big noise inside. I tried to use the earphone but no any improvement.

Good day Every one my question is what is the process of adding apps to new custom JB ROM in LG Optimus 4x HD?

I did try to search the forum but was not able to find related topics for my mobile phone. (sorry if I am wrong.)

Thanks for the help.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
Download any root explorer from play store (for example "Root Browser" ) .

Go to (/system/app) ,, there you will find the system apps in *.apks and the extend of them which are *.odex .

To add an app , simply copy it to /system/app ,, then press and hold on it ,, choose "permissions" and set it as the following (rw-r--r--) : -

That's all .

Good Luck .

[LG Optimus 4X HD] teddyxfire:
What do you mean by "adding apps"? I suppose that you already know that you can download apps via Play Store, or you can download apps to your PC, transfer them to your phone via USB and then install them using file explorers like ES, Astro etc (they're also available via Play Store). On the other hand, you mentioned some custom roms. Do you have some problems with app installing on your custom rom? Can you be a little more specific? :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
I have got my answer thank you.

OS_Hacking understood what I was looking for.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
One more question can I apply the same method for some of the installed apps from google playstore to move into system folder ( i mean the complete installed folder from whats app? for example.) or I need to uninstall those apps and then copy the .apk files into system folder and then reboot so that particualr app becomes the part of system files?

OS_Hacking by the way whats is the name of that font being used by you on that display bild :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OS_Hacking:
You liked that font ? :D ,, it's from an old backup from my old phone (optimus 3D) in android 2.2 :D . this font is called "Love" .

I uploaded it to you ,, just rename it to any exiting system font (e.g. HYTravel.ttf)

then replace it in /system/fonts ,, replace "HYTravel.ttf" and "HYTravel_Bold.ttf" with this font ,, then fix permission (the same for system apps) .

reboot and go to settings ,, you should see it instead of HYTravel .

about system apps ,, not all *.apk(s) are allowed to be in both /data/app and /system/app .

Because every apk has an extend in *.dex (which is located in /data/dalvik-cache) or in *.odex (which is located in /system/app) .

and if you install the apk on both of them it will mess up .

Some apk(s) will work and some not .

Good Luck .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Rageoo:
So... this probably came up here and there - since google is FULL of this problem on skyrocket.

I bought my wife a skyrocket a year ago.

A few weeks later, the pictures started to come out blurry.

I've tried everything - cleaning the lens, reseting the camera settings to defaults, playing with auto-focus, soft reset, hard reset, updating android via kies.

It still came blurry.

One day - it suddenly got sharp again!

We were very pleased, but then, a few weeks later - blurry again.

Since then, we had it twice again, but this time the blurry is here for good.

Front camera is sharp and running.

Does anyone know why is this happening or if there is a solution to the problem?

Thanks!

Just in case, I noticed you didn't mention Anti-Shake. For some reason it is not a default, but easily toggled.

Question: With AF and Auto Flash enabled, If you compose a shot at a distance of 7", does holding the soft Shutter button cause the screen to visible adjust focus and the white rectangle to go green with a confirmation beep?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Rageoo:
Thanks for the feedback.

I did try playing with Anti-shake - no luck.

When I hold the soft shutter button, the screen does have the white recrangle, and it goes green before taking the picture.

Nevertheless, the picture, even after the rectangle goes green, is still blurry all along.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krneki10:
Hello,

I recently migrated from gingerbread 2.3.3 (DarkyROM) to mackay 4.2.2 ROM. I made nandroid backup with CWM before I flashed mackay ROM and also full backup with Titanium Backup Pro. Everything went well all except restoring contacts. After I flashed mackay ROM I realized that they weren't synchronized with Google account. I've tried to restore them with titanium backup pro, but it didn't make any difference.

Now I have TWRP which can't see 2.3.3 nandroid I've made with CWM. My guess is that the solution is to switch to CWM, sync contacts to google, switch back to TWRP, restore nandroid of 4.2.2 ROM and then sync contacts from Google server again.

However, I have no idea how to do that.

Please help, it's pretty urgent.

Great news. Finally! I'll try it.
[HTC Droid DNA] LilTechPrincess:
I have the DNA, and an unlimited plan. By default, when you try to tether up it will tell you to call your carrier to subscribe. You can do it, but you need to be rooted. If you are rooted then install the Android Wifi Tether app from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether

Once you run the app use the following settings:

Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Setup-Method: Auto

Enable "WiFi-driver reload"

Enable "Routing fix"

This should get you up and going.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
But we're not rooted. This is "tether without root" discussion. If you're rooted, sure, you can use wifi tether no problem. The problem is to tether without root.
[HTC Droid DNA] dabomb697:
If you get the latest wireless tether beta from Google there is an option for non root tether. I haven't been able to test it because I'm rooted but someone should try it.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
It just uses the native tether framework. So Vzw can throttle it
[HTC Droid DNA] wakkadojo:
And charge for it

Sent from my HTC6435LVW
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
I forgot if I looked it up or not, but this throttling term, what exactly does it mean?

And how likely are you to lose your grandfathered unlimited plan by tethering?
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
You won't lose it. And throttling is a server-side limit on your data throughput. Meaning really slow speeds
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
Really? You'll never lose it based on your usage? I've read otherwise and people saying that you'll be fine, so I've just been confused.

I currently use Clockwork tether until I can get rooted and use the wifi tether, decent app, reliable and good speeds.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Nope you won't ever lose It. Some people in here use several hundred gigs a month. As long as your rooted you won't get charged/throttled either
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
Well that is great news xD!

I actually went to the VZW store in the mall where I live to activate my dna since I needed a new sim,

and they decided to look at my data usuage, I was kind of nervous and the new person was being trained by the

manager and the new person was like "... You used 100gigs last month?" and the manager looked and said "I'm going

to give you a high five for that, that's the new store record here". Definitely a funny day and we continued to talk about

the phone, tethering and JTAG.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
But the more people who exploit their unlimited data by tethering huge amounts of data the sooner Verizon will force everyone off unlimited data.
[HTC Droid DNA] nived09:
From what I have read is that they can cancel your unlimited data if you are negatively effecting others experience.

Which can mean what ever they want it to really, but also you have the unlimited data to do as you please as long as

you please to.

So I really don't know on this topic.
