[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Faulker:
I know this doesn't belong here, but I can't post in the dev forums yet. Hopefully someone who has some ideas will notice this here. :)

Two issues found with Liquidsmooth, v2.5.

Issue #1: Bluetooth connectivity

- I've seen similar posts about this. Basically, the bluetooth won't autoconnect. If I turn off/on BT, it connects immediately.

- Problem only occurs in Liquidsmooth. Stock/Cleanrom do not suffer this issue at all.

- Problem occurs on 4 different BT devices, so it is not a radio/speaker/headset issue. All of these devices work fine on stock and with other phones.

- Connection rate with Liquidsmooth: 4 connects out of 20 tries. Connection rate with stock: 19 connects out of 20 tries.

- It appears that the device is not attempting to pair, except on BT startup.

Issue #2: Verizon network extender

- Yes, yes, I know it shows as roaming if you're on a network extender. I read the posts...however...

- It actually isn't using the network extender. In my area, we have a single tower (1 bar service) and an extender (5 bars service). My phone does show roaming, but is only getting 1 bar. Additionally, calls are being dropped a lot.

- Other callers using the network extender are having 5 bars and no dropped calls.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

LS 2.5 issues

Oh, found a third.

Issue #3:

- Fast charge worked great.

- When I turned it off...phone still won't connect for data over usb.

- Rebooted phone, still nothing.

- Pulled battery, still nothing.

- Fast charge is off, but I still can't use data at all.

Maybe you had a bad flash. Just wipe everything again and flash it again. If you look to the of the thread you can also find the linkmto download the 2.6.5. Trying it out now on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Faulker:
Issues

I did try the wipe/reflash last night. That didn't help. I found the link to 2.6.5 and installed that this morning. So far...better...but not quite there yet.

Issue #1:

- Bluetooth issues seem to have vanished in 2.6.5. Yay!

Issue #2:

- Network extender, still not working at all on 2.6.5, even as roaming. It shows -111dbm signal strength, which would be right without the extender.

Issue #3:

- Fast charge still broken. In fact, still broken after wipe/reflash. Ever since turning it on once, I can't get data via USB back. I'm starting to wonder if I'll have to revert to stock to get it back.

What system version? Make sure the device is off truly then try to get it into fastboot again. at that point you could flash stock system, boot and recovery. The only thing you cannot restore would be the boot product bin as you can see that wasn`t part of the backup procedure. Your right the factory cable will do nothing. Did you perform md5 check on all the files you used?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
Device truly off?

Thanks for your response!

I think I had 8.4.3 (is that right?). I did follow instructions to flash the 8.1.something file before, if that's what you're asking. How do I make sure that the device is truly off? It looks off pretty much all the time.

I just called up Amazon and they said they'd send me a free replacement, but I went ahead and told them I rooted it. Didn't want them to pay for my sins. ;)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
long press the power button for 30 seconds then

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

in terminal and when it says waiting for device plug in your kindle. If after multiple attempts it will no go into fastboot I can only assume that for some reason it is permanently bricked, at this point you should post in bootloader install thread in development the result so no one else makes this same mistake and Hashcode can look into what is broken for 8.4.3. Amazon may have finally patched up the 2nd bootloader install method for 8.4.3 resulting in a permanent brick. Thanks Amazon nice work!!:(
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
Thanks [MENTION=4571227]Thepooch[/MENTION]. I tried the fastboot option multiple times but to no avail. I think it is well and truly bricked. Also, I can't post to the dev forums, so I've sent a PM to Hashcode.

Thanks again for your help. Do you think opening up the device might help? Reset the battery or something? Or can I get any value for this device?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toobii:
Can someone confirm that you can use older version to flash over newer (i.e. 8.1 files on a device on 8.4.3) w/o problem ??

Have a 8.4.3 devce in fastboot where I need to put stock images on which I don't have for 8.4.3. ...

Could this, in your case, have caused 2nd bootloader intallation/brick issues?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
Not sure, Toobii. :( Will wait for [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] to react. He probably has the best idea.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenghisKhan67:
I managed to go back to 8.3.1 from 8.4.3 after getting a Red Screen from fastboot, then let the Kindle update itself back to 8.4.3 before rooting and installing a 2nd bootloader again (using KFF). Just be careful to follow Hashcode's procedure and you should be good to go.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
I did it as well, as the log says. It's completely bricked, no red screen etc.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbutz:
How exactly did you go back from 8.43 to 8.31?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I still wonder did you perform an md5 check on your files? I myself was able to roll back from 8.4.1 all the way to 8.1.4 but the method was special developed by soupmagnet just for me. it replaced boot, bootloader, recovery and system all in one swoop then I flashed Hashcodes 8.4.1 which is where I am presently. None of this has been tested with 8.4.3 nor am I willing to even go there. Amazon whipped out that 8.4.3 very soon after they had pulled 8.4.1 for some reason :confused: . Seems devious if you ask me why would the do this unless it was to patch some final hole. Since you can purchase a new motherboard on the net for around 200$ it places a value on your screen, digitizer, case and battery at about 100$ sad but true.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9" un-unbrickably bricked

blopido,

You did everything perfectly. This is the risk we take when deploying the second bootloader with TWRP Recovery.

First, let me apologize for the delay, I have been out. I just responded to your message but the core is:

We will attempt recovery, if the recovery fails we will facilitate contacting Amazon on your behalf and ask for a replacement. We do advise Amazon that the device was Rooted and during a software install the device was damaged. This can be a hit and miss but they usually replace the device for free. I do have to warn you, your account will be flagged and they will be less forgiving a second time, just a heads up.

Send the Kindle to:

Xerocomm, Inc.

RMA # (Send email for number)

1684 Northstar Drive

Petaluma, CA 94954

(707) 774-5923

Please do not send the device without a Return Authorization (admin@canonicaldev.com) otherwise the box will be refused.

I responded to your email, I will be looking for your response.

Thanks. Taking this conversation to email.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arda99:
Every fastboot command returns "sending xxx (6KB)" thats definitely sth wrong.

Looks like you didn't put the proper file on the directory and you continued without noticing that.

Here is the correct response(taken from another xda thread, its for KFHD7 but you get the idea)

C:\>fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot.img

target reported max download size of 1006632960 bytes

sending 'boot' (8145 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.794s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 0.681s]

finished. total time: 3.475s

My suggestion: Play dumb and send it back to Amazon for warranty replacement.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
I got that too.

As I said, I don't want to. Don't think it's right. Have sent it to [MENTION=4435645]prokennexusa[/MENTION]. Let's see how it goes.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arda99:
You got "sending 6KB" as I said that's wrong. Its not the "everything is OK but sh*t just happens" story. You did it completely wrong and bricked the device, hopefully you could be aware of the issue and get things right on the replacement.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blopido:
On what basis are you saying 'completely wrong' except for the 6KB part?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I'll tell you exactly where you went "completely wrong"...

Despite the instructions given to you in the thread you linked to and supposedly read, you failed to perform an md5check on the stock bootloader you downloaded before flashing it to the appropriate partition:

The reason for the "6KB part" is because your downloads were corrupted/dropped/whatever, and flashing a corrupted bootloader to ANY device is a surefire, 100% guaranteed method of "hard" bricking it. Unfortunately, considering the highly sensitive security measures of the device's hardware, there is no fix and it is completely and irrevocably bricked (at least, as far as we're concerned).

Your only hope, is to send it to @prokennexusa so he can have it repaired/replaced using whatever influence he currently has with Amazon. Good luck, and pay closer attention next time.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dathay:
I did something similar.

I did something similar. Was working late at night and not paying attention. I grabbed the wrong set of files (grabbed the Otter2 files instead of the KFHD 8.9 ones). MD5 checked out but then I was using the WRONG files! Now I have a brick. Hoping that [MENTION=4435645]prokennexusa[/MENTION] and Co. can help me out. Called them and left a voice mail and sent them an e-mail last week. Feel sick because I really liked my KFHD when it was running Jelly Bean, just wanted to upgrade to KitKat and screwed the pooch. :crying::crying:

Screwed up using Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33

Tried to root my 8.9 running 8.4.9 using Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33. Didn't want to do anything fancy, just root it so i could install Google Framework/Services etc.

Must have prematurely made a move in the tool before I was properly backed up and now I'm stuck with what seems to be a corrupt version of the stock rom. The device will boot, but only into the mode that usually occurs after the first reboot using Bin4ry's tool (super slo mo mode).

Is there any way I can restore the original stock ROM either with a tool or through ADB?

KFHD_SRT_v2.1 did not work for me.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If you intact have root access try "adb reboot bootloader" and you can restore the system IMG and such with SRT or kffa. I think to fix slow no there's a local.prop stored somewhere on the data partition you just have to remove, or at least I know it ends in .prop, try finding it band deleting it over a adb shell if you can find it.

[Galaxy 3 Accessories] gtd2000:
I'd recommend just getting another pair of Samsung headphones (others with the same jack will not work :mad:)

I've used BT headphones successfully - I had a Jabra stereo headset but I much prefer the simplicity of wires at the end of the day - no need to worry about running out of charge etc.

Does anybody know why other brands (and even other Samsung headsets) will not work with the Apollo? :confused:

Now that I've give this phone to my mum, I've warned her not to lose the OEM headphones!!! :cyclops:

Edit:

I should have said if you want a working headset w mic others will not work - I think that you can use headphones only...but then if you get a call the mic on the phone is cut out and they can't hear you speak. It's a bloody nuisance!

Hi all,

This is my very first post on XDA forum. I don't really know the etiquette. If I post on the wrong place, please forgive me. :P

Yesterday I installed SuperBeam on my Butterfly to transfer some pictures to my friend's Butterfly. Sorry that I could not post the SuperBeam URL link due to the forum rule. But I hit several problems. First, my friends' SuperBeam showed "failed to connect WiFi Direct". And then I tried again, this time my Butterfly suddenly rebooted without any warning message.

I know Butterfly supports WiFi Direct. Any WiFi Direct applications like SuperBeam should work perfectly.

Does anyone has the same problem? Or anyone can tell me how to solve this?

Thanks,

Vince
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] SiliconS:
I think the fact that no-one makes a cradle which provides audio-out through the bottom connector of the XDA2 is because the XDA2 doesn't provide this possibility. It's not the car-kit manufacturers' fault. Blame HTC. :)

However, I could be wrong... :roll:

My solution: I bought one of these XDA2 mounts ( http://www.pdamods.com/proddetail.asp?prod=A11XDA2MNT&cat=23 ) which works really well. It charges the phone and my TomTom BT GPS. To achieve audio-out I plan (eventually) to use the XDA2's headphone socket by drilling a hole through the mount's base in the right spot and using a 2.5mm jack adapted to play through the car stereo. Not an ideal solution, but surely must be simpler for you than trying to build a reliable (and safe!) 12V -> 5V convertor and butchering a spare XDA2 desktop cradle?

Just a suggestion... 8) Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
QUOTE:) 12V to 5dc cigarette socket transformer adapter to provide power to the cradle, and perhaps to the bluetooth gps for charging. This should be easier to achieve!

Anyone have any links for low cost solutions for this, obviously it would need to convert 12VDC to 5DC at 2-3Amps

Just about any mobile phone car charger will do.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] ALL41_Eggy:
How about this alternative cradle. I bought one for my XDAIIs and it works perfectly. Got one for the birds XDA2 and that work great too.

It provides power to either a wired GPS or charges a bluetooth GPS, it has a built in speaker and a cables provided to run from the XDA's headphone socket to the cradle. THIS THING IS LOUD!

One word of caution, the speakers in my car are shielded so I don't get that warning noise from them that I am about to get a call or text. The speaker on the cradle is NOT shielded and so you do get interference when you are about to get a call or switch cells.

i thought about using my 6601 as an MP3 player in my car as well. but since my eclipse cdplayer does mp3, i abandoned the idea

option 1: cut up a 2.5mm headset and plug it into the top of the device

pros: cheap and effective

cons: have to plug it in every time (and unplug it to take a call)

option 2: pair a bluetooth headset with the device, crack it open and wire the speaker to a preamp

pros: wireless

cons: ruin an otherwise good bt headset, music would be in mono

option 3:

http://motorola.digitalriver.com/se...e&SiteID=motostor&productID=36065700&Env=BASE

Very nice! I haven't done much Android development but I hope to do this for a ROM for my HTC One V.

I've tried out step#1 (seems simple enough) but every time I install the modded framework-res.apk, the ROM just continuously loops at boot animation. I've made sure to set the permissions. I've tried two methods:

Using winRar, I simply add the modded .xml files into the already signed framework-res.apk.

Using apktool, I recompile the framework-res.apk and use this.

I've tried installing while Android is running and through adb while in recovery. No luck. All attempts just boot loop. I should note that I also made the same changes to _landscape.xml instances as well (so that it will also apply when the screen is rotated).

I haven't tried this on any other ROMs and frameworks yet (but I definitely will). The ROM I'm using is CM10.1 (jb 4.2.2) based. Any advice or indication as to what may be going wrong? Thanks!
