[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordan011:
Alright, So I'll admit I messed up the whole process and I'm basically trying to unbrick it at this point. I installed TWRP 2.4.4.0 on my KFHD 7" wiped everything then realized I never pushed the fioles to flash onto the KF before I did this. After messing around with my adb drivers for a while (I had to spoof them and add values to the android_usb.inf for it to even show up now) I can use adb while in TWRP and it shows my device as "recovery" I was able to push files to it earlier, but now I can't mount "/data" which is where I pushed those files earlier. I do have a stock-boot.img a stock-recovery.img and a stock-system.img (Or at least I hope, Idk if it got wiped) I'm not all to familiar with adb or fastboot commands to know what I can do to get anything back or at least get /data back.

If any of y'all could help me out, that'd be great, otherwise I now have a really expensive paper-weight.

1 more thing. I don't have ADB when I'm in fastboot. It shows up as an "Android composite ADB interface" in Device manager, but when I run adb (even after restarts) it never shows up in adb devices. Once again I had to spoof that driver because it was showing up as "Unknown Device' (I checked hardware ID's and it was the kindle 0x1949 that I installed the drivers for)

KFFA Isn't seeming to work, I've tried there drivers as well, no dice while the Kindle is in TWRP or in Fastboot.

I have the SDK and my own custom ADB Drivers installed, If you want me to post the .inf here for reference, I can.

EDIT: Okay, I've really screwed up, i flashed the stock boot, now all I get is a orange kindle fire logo. and so far IDK how to get into recovery. The logo doesn't animate at all, I'm guessing I have no OS installed, I think I just bricked it for good, unless I can get into a fastboot. HELP!!!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumi1174:
New to the forums and the rooting scene. From me researching, it seems I can get rid of the ATT bloatware on my HTC One by rooting the phone. I've never rooted a phone in my life, and the vast majority of the tutorials on the site assume a working knowledge of what the heck they're talking about (which I don't...).

I was able to follow the tutorial in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182792) to successfully unlock the bootloader.

(1) What does unlocking the bootloader mean?

(2) When I unlocked the bootloader, my phone completely reset. Is that normal?

(3) The tutorial continues as if your phone didn't reset. Should I reboot back into the fastboot mode and plug back in to the comp to continue the tutorial?

(4) By unlocking the bootloader, will I receive OTAs from ATT?

(5) If I root, will I receive OTAs from ATT?

(6) If I root, how can I still use the stock OS and just get rid of the ATT bloatware?

(7) I see things talk about "NAND backups" before one should root. What are those?

(8) What are RUUs?

(9) What does "Odexed" and "De-Odexed" mean...?

Thanks in advance for the help. I want to learn this stuff and can't find any explicit answers in these forums. I don't want to damage this brand new awesome phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakemanc6:
Im still very new to all of this as well, but i wanted to share this toolkit with you just encase you havent seen it yet. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183942 Its been a tremendous help to me, hopefully it will be to you.

As far as the AT&T bloatware is concerned, It was very easy to remove once i was rooted and had flashed a new ROM. Ive used both Titanium Backup, and Rom Toolkit Pro to remove the junk.

Best of luck with your devices, Ive had a great time learning with mine so far.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
1. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash a custom recovery onto your device. It's a necessary step in the rooting process until s-off is obtained

2. This is 100% normal. It is strongly advised you backup everything before unlocking due to this.

3. The link in your post to that tutorial is broken so there is no way to see what you mean. Sorry.

4. You cannot receive OTA while the bootloader is unlocked. You would need to relock your bootloader to continue with an OTA update.

5. As of now, no due to having to unlock your bootloader. Please see answer 4.

6. You would need to flash a zip file in a custom recovery to debloat your phone. There are other ways but this is the best way for a very new user. Link to debloat zip: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250403

7. Nandbackup or Nandroid are complete backups of your phone's firmware. It's recommended to have one good up to date backup so if something goes wrong on a new ROM you flashed, you can easily revert. Nandroids are created in custom recoveries like TWRP.

8. An RUU is a package for your phone that contains a set of stock images used to unroot your phone and return it to complete stock. It stands for ROM Update Utility.

9. Odexed is the default state of the stock ROM. What it means is that a separate .odex cache file is stored away from a system app. It allows the app to load faster as upon boot your phone loads these cache files into the Dalvik VM. When a developer De-Odexes a ROM it means they have taken away those cache files and instead compiled them within the system app. This, in theory is a bit slower, but only when you clear your Dalvik and cache from recovery, otherwise you will notice no difference. The reason a developer does this is it makes the system app easily modifiable and themable. In summary, Deodex equals easily modifiable, whereas odex means the app is more locked down.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakemanc6:
Thanks RPelham,

I hate to piggyback on someone else's thread, but they may want the answer to my question as well.

Is it a good idea to clear system and Dalvik cache from within recovery every now and then? Im used to the PC world, where clearing cache from time to time helps keep things in order.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
No. You only need to clear Dalvik and Cache when flashing a new ROM, Kernel or basically any ZIP package. It won't serve any good purpose to randomly clear it. =)

Android has a great built in way of keeping your phone running great and killing any app that has not been recently used to keep everything running smooth.

Sorry it was dead, I'll edit my original post.

Another question if you don't mind (may be a stupid question), if I root, will I still be able to purchase apps from the play store without any trouble?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
These videos are an absolute perfect example of how to unlock and root. Step by step. If you are new, this will be the perfect go to for help.

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

Yes, you absolutely can. The only thing Root is giving you is administration level access to your phone. Obtaining root gives you the ability to modify, remove or add core system files and gives apps a lot more functionality as they can integrate themselves into the system.

And to answer question 3:

Yes the phone resets after you unlock your bootloader and it boots back into your phone. Simply reboot back to your bootloader and enter fastboot mode to continue flashing your recovery.

After you flash the recovery, it will boot back into your phone again (once you select recovery from the bootloader menu for the first time after the flash). Don't be alarmed by this, just reboot once more, select your recovery option again and this time it will truely take you to recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumi1174:
Thanks for all the help. One more if you don't mind (I appreciate your patience with helping a beginner like myself), will my phone be reset again when I root?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
No. Once you unlocked your bootloader your phone will not reset unless you flash a custom ROM or specifically wipe your device. Rooting will retain all settings and apps.

P.s. I'm heading off for the night. I hope I answered everything for you and helped you obtain a better understanding over this whole process. Ill follow up tomorrow to see if everything worked out for you and answer any additional questions. =)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumi1174:
Excellent! Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it! I'll edit this post if I have any more questions.

More questions:

(1) All the files on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2207874

What is the purpose of all these different files? Should I be familiar with them and will I ever need to use them?

(2) This package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250403

I'm not exactly sure how to install it. Any advice or tips?

(3) The instructions for this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192324

-Download ROM

-Copy ROM to your sdcard

-Fullwipe in AROMA if you come from another ROM or base

-Flash the ROM

-Let the ROM boot (After a Fullwipe this takes some time)

-Enjoy TrickDroid

I understand the first 2 steps, but what does "Fullwipe in AROMA" mean?

(4) Difference between a ROM and a KERNEL?

(5) Are you familiar with Titanium Backup? I've tried reading their wiki, but I'm still not 100% sure what exactly it backs up and how that is different than the TWRP back up.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Hi.

1) they are just ruu for many different carriers, countries, etc. There is a specific ruu for your device. That's why so many ruu there

2) no need for that. Just install titanium backup pro from play store after rooting and you can delete all bloatwares or freeze them. Which will also get rid of those unwanted apps from your phone.

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

Hello mate

I have 2 questions.

Number 7, how do I make backup of your rom if you still haven't installed custom recovery?

Number 8 to unroot my phone I can also use the nandroid backup instead of ruu right?

Edit: 1 more Lol. Sorry.

I asked many places but didn't get an answer for it.

Let's say I have custom ROM, and I need to relock boot loader and flash stock ruu to go back to stock in order to receive ota update. Does the ruu contains the stock recovery? Cuz I read somewhere that in order to get ota update I also needed to flash stock recovery?

Thanks a lot! I think I'm all set after this kkk
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotrandom:
If anyone has an answer to this question I'd appreciate it very much. I've rooted many phones but all of them have had SD cards. The HTC One is lacking an SD Card so when I back up data/apks etc is there a spot on the phone's storage that doesn't get wiped when wiping from recovery to install new roms?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Nope. All gets wiped. Backup on ur PC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Uh oh. I just told him the opposite in another thread. I could swear I read that selecting a "wipe userdata" option in recovery would erase everything in the /data partition *except* whatever is below /data/media?

Did I get this wrong?

Ive flashed a couple of different ROMs, and my media has not been erased when selecting "wipe user data". Im using CWM, if that's of any consequence.

He was using TWRP, no idea if that makes a difference. Just passing on my experience, Im by no means well versed in all of this lol

Its great having such an active forum to learn from though :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
Im not 100% sure as I do not use Titanium, if someone could check that would be great, but I don't think titanium can permanently remove bloat yet. Freeze, yes, remove I'm unsure.

Our device has not achieved s-off which means that the partition the system apps sit on is not accessible to be altered from within the ROM, only by recovery / adb.

7. To my knowledge you must have a custom recovery to make a nandroid. You can't make a complete one without it. And once you nandroid, that backup is specifically for that recovery. I.e. you fly use a cwm nandroid in twrp

8. As long as your nandroid was created before installing the root package, yes.

RUUs will reflash stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

1 and 2 were answered above. I also elaborated on 2 above.

3. Aroma is an installation software made for recovery. It's a wizard that walks you through the ROM setup. You'll see an option for it while setting up the ROM

4. Kernel is the software that allows your hardware to communicate with your ROM as well as control boot screens, splash screens and overclocking and undervolting.

ROM is the phones operating system.

5. TWRP is a FULL backup, titanium is just an app, it can't backup 100% of everything like a recovery can. Titanium backs up your app and user data. Basically your settings and apps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
RUUs will reflash stock recovery.

Thank you mate. Very simplified. Will the nandroid backup I make before rooting also reflash stock recovery? Or would I need to restore backup + flash stock recovery?

Becuas since I make a backup in CUSTOM recovery, I would imagine that the nandroid doesn't have the stock recovery in it?

That is in order to get ota update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumi1174:
Thanks for the continued help.

To elaborate on these:

(3) AROMA will give me the option to do the "fullwipe" listed in that ROM's instructions?

(4) What would be the purpose of downloading a kernel instead of a ROM then?

(5) For clarification, the TWRP backup is the nandroid backup everyone talks about, correct? Why would I need Titanium if I already have the full backup with TWRP? Does TWRP not backup apps and user data?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
3. It should as long as the developer coded it into aroma. If it's in the developers installation instructions then yes.

4. Kernels will not alter your phones operating system, everything will "look" the same, but it can improve battery life and add abilities to your phone to process things differently and possibly more efficiently. It may also improve battery life depending on the settings you set once the kernel is installed. I would recommend getting comfortable with flashing ROMs before you begin flashing kernels.

5. TWRP can create an image of your phone. It literally saves everything including the ROM itself including the apps and settings. You use a recovery backup to revert back to a previous Rom you had installed.

Titanium can be used to back up your apps and user data so that when you flash a new ROM you can easily restore your user data to the new ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumi1174:
Gotcha, thanks again.

So just to be totally clear, I would use a Titanium backup when I go from one ROM to another to get all my apps and data back. I would use a TWRP backup to restore everything in a specific ROM. Correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
Yes.

Titanium backup = Rom to Rom

TWRP Backup = If something goes wrong with, or you just don't like, your current ROM you can revert back to your last saved backup.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

That is absolutely correct. A nandroid does not have the ability to restore a stock recovery. If you wanted to go back to complete stock you would need to find the stock recovery or a RUU for your device.

I don't know where else to post this, but I would like this thread moved to the best place possible if this is not already it.

I have an at&t SGH-I747 running on Cyanogenmod 10.0 nightly build 20120927 (I flashed it then, sticking around with a nightly for 6months and counting!).

I would like to know if there is a way to change or remove some of the animations (not the boot animation, which is all I can find guides for (seriously, it's in the Play store...)) that happen in the OS, particularly the animation for rotating the screen (it just takes too much time, and I loved being able to manually edit the animation duration on my stock Motorola MB860 on stock)

I am using the latest version of Holo Launcher HD Plus (Legitimately purchased) from the Play store. I don't know if that setting would be in the launcher itself, in which case I guess the question relates more to it rather than my build of Cyanogenmod.

Again, please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for my inquiry. Thanks all!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MdX MaxX:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MdX MaxX:
No problem.

And just head over to the Atrix forum, there are stickies showing you how to unlock the bootloader and install recovery. From there you just flash CM10 like any other ROM.

It quite tough to take out of the case, the case doesn't have much give which I think is a good thing, I might keep it. The stand is designed to work primarily in landscape and is pretty good, it will also work in portrait, its kind of hard to unclip it though which may also be a good thing since it wont come loose easily. Behind the kick stand there is a hole that leads to the battery cover but thats only exposed when the kickstand is out. The case is decently slim, doesn't add too much.

Hello,

Recently migrated from a DInc2 running Skyraider Zeus to the Dinc4, currently running the stock ROM.

Question: The Bluetooth audio quality in the DInc4 is considerably worse than its predecessor. While I can pair and use accessories without problem, the audio sounds muffled - regardless as to whether it's my earbud or the hands-free unit I have in the car.

Is this an issue with the current version of Android, the stock HTC ROM, or perhaps just my phone?

Comments welcome...
