You're welcome :)

The core firmware (basically everything except the bundled apps and the resource overlays) stays the same as long as the build number doesn't change. Only the parts that are specific to the 'Generic HK' customization can be changed by the update.

If you look at the update XML file for 'Generic HK', you'll see that the latest firmware image (for Sony PC Companion and Sony Update Service) is swVersion 10.3.A.0.423 with cdfVersion R3B, while the latest delta update (OTA update) is still swVersion 10.3.A.0.423 with cdfVersion R2B.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
I just downloaded this FTF (Generic HK 10.3.A.0.423 R3B) and compared it to the previous version (Generic HK 10.3.A.0.423 R2B).

These are the only differences:

build.prop: 'ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R2B' changed to 'ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3B'

[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
I just compared the overlays too. Except for some changed version numbers in AndroidManifest.xml files, the only real differences in this "firmware update" are:

vendor/overlay/com.android.settings-res.apk: tethering DUN settings for 3 (Hong Kong) have been removed.

vendor/overlay/com.sonyericsson.customizedsettings-res.apk: tethering DUN settings for 3 (Hong Kong) have been removed.

vendor/overlay/com.sonyericsson.r2r.client-res.apk: APN settings for Cellcom (Israel), EMT (Estonia), LMT (Latvia), Elisa (Finland) updated; APN settings for LIFE Mobile (UK) added.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] droidafx:
I had a rooted 7.4.2 having used Bin4ry the first time. I was sure I had disabled OTA updates. Anyway I now have 7.4.3 unrooted.

Is it safe to use this method in the above scenario or is it for vanilla unrooted 7.4.3 machines that weren't prior rooted ?

thanks in advance
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] RCamacho50:
It's Safe

Yeah It's Safe. Use The Las Version Of The Bin4ry Method

Keep getting the same error message

I keep getting this message while running Bin4ry "RunMe"

"could not find C:\User\Home\Download\Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31\ric"

Anyone know what this error message means? I am trying to root a kindle Fire HD with 7.4.3. All other steps go as described until It resets and I unlock it the first time. Then the error message comes onto the cmd.exe

Any help would be appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] calkenneth:
I've used this on a Kindle Fire HD 7* with 7.4.3 as well. I assume you chose option #1, New Standard root?

It looks like it gets stuck when it tries to delete the non-existent ric file (towards the end of the batch file under the "newstandard" section). It should just continue onwards though. Does the batch file kick you back out into the command prompt directly?

Another thing to try - I don't think this is necessary, but it's easy enough to try - run the batch file as Windows administrator.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] BenCf:
once i root my 7.4.3 kindle, i can flash any rom? also do i need to do the Bootloader + TWRP things?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] calkenneth:
Once you root your Kindle, you can install things like the Google Apps framework and the Google Play store, which gives you access to a large number of other applications.

However, you'd still need to separately flash the bootloader and TWRP if you wish to install secondary ROMs. For those steps, please see the individual threads. Make sure you've made backups of your existing factory ROMs (system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img) and pick up a factory cable (aka fastboot)...

Questions

1. My kindle hd 7" is rooted using kkfa for 7.4.3. Can I still use this method to re-root?

2. If OTA has been turned off thru kkfa, is there a way to install the new update? Will installing the new update cancel out all my apps or mess up anything that was done with the kkfa root in 7.4.3?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] tci50401:
Thank you for the great guide! I was able to root my kindle and install the Google Play store without any issues, but now my Kindle app won't work. I found another thread that advised to go to the Kindle app in the Play store and choose uninstall to role back to the previous version, but I don't have this option. It just has Open, no Uninstall.

Any suggestions?

Hi

Would somebody (tell me how to/be kind enough to do it for me :)) change a few things, I assume in SystemUI.apk. I have done some switching of icons to try and attain the GE/Holo Blue icon colours. I have done them all, at least the ones I need but I have 3 issues which go beyond my knowledge:

1) I want the status bar clock to match, it's currently white.

2) I want to hide my operator logo from the lockscreen and notification pulldown.

3) I would like my notification background to be a little transparent.

If somebody could help, with any of them, that would be great.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master_Axe:
Hi guys,

I dug out my old i9000 for a US trip I'm doing(because it's unlocked), and had previously installed CM 9.1, and now CM10.1. I landed in Newark and had HSDPA, and now in Tampa I'm stuck on EDGE:2.

My Austrian SIM card in the i9000 also only connects to EDGE, whilst my Austrian S3 connects to H+ (both roaming on AT&T).

The phone still has its IMEI.

The "dialer codes" don't work, so I can't look at what "bands" its using. aka *#4636#, also others won't work.

The same problem with 9.1 and 10.1 CM, I think the problem is elsewhere.

Wi-Fi works well.

Of course, the option for "only use 2g" isn't checked, but the other option to use GSM only or WCDMA or what its called I can't find.

I'm reluctant to give up on this phone, since AT&T only charges me 15$/month for unlimited data, since this version of i9000 isn't recognized as a smartphone on their systems :D.

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I heard something about a blackhole system wipe, or someone else uploaded an old "qnc" on their phone... alas I'm not in the modding scene, so that means nothing to me :(.

It's already cost me a day and a half, since I don't have wireless here anywhere but Starbucks ^^. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Franz
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master_Axe:
*#*#4636#*#*

After a moment, a screen will appear called "Testing". Select the drop-down that says "Phone Information". From there, scroll down to where it should say "WCDMA preferred", and change it to "WCDMA only". Use the back key to get out. It should stay selected even through a reboot.

I copied it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=536234

I forced WCDMA only, or what it's called. I cant find the setting in settings. Also, itll jump to "unknown", so i gotta play around with it for awhile until it works. And its broken again if I select "only use 2g" and the unselect it again.

Dear kernel and ROM developers.

According to GPL v2 license, under which kernels are released, kernels must be released with source code provided.

To be fully compliant, the thread must contain in the OP:

@ kernel devs

Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary

Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released

Example.

@ ROM devs

If ROM uses custom boot.img, the source must be uploaded by you.

If it uses kernel by someone else, the kernel thread (and source link provided in main thread) must be linked in the OP.

If the ROM contains stock kernel, it must be mentioned. Source isn't required.

If you can not do any of the above, release your rom without a boot.img in the flashable zip.

Using a non GPL compliant kernel makes your ROM non compliant and subject to removal

Violation of GPL is in fact a breaking of the law, so I don't have to explain what could be a final of this.

More information can be found in the news written by pulser_g2.

Thank you for your attention.

Did you try to manually go into recovery?

- turn off phone

-press and hold volume down then press power button until the phone boots into bootloader

- use volume buttons to scroll down to recovery,

- tap power button to select recovery

and it should boot into your custom recovery
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mondty:
That's when it happens. I'll try manually booting into recovery, but it just ends up booting normally.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sirheck:
Try with (restart) while it restarts press and hold power down button only. It is what i had to do.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mondty:
I've tried both restarting in bootloader and powering down and turning the phone back on in bootloader. Both times, from the bootloader menu, when I select recovery it goes the the 'htc' screen with 'entering recovery' at the top for about 7 seconds then goes black and boots normally.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] S.Reno9:
when you select recovery and it goes to the white htc screen, at the very top does it say.. "entering recovery" ?

If not, you might try using fastboot to push a custom recovery to your phone again...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cee43ja1:
If it kicks you out of recovery as it boots into it, go into the bootloader, fastboot, and run 'fastboot erase cache' on the computer. Of course, ADB has to be setup first before running that command. I've had this happen to me a few times already, and 'fastboot erase cache' always made it work again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denvit:
Hi everyone,

I'm writing here cause I've got a really big problem with my lovely Samsung Galaxy S II: the mainboard stopped working.

The really big problem is that I don't know the real problem.

I have two SGS2, one black and one white. The one with motherboard issues is the black one.

I've tried to put the black's motherboard in the white phone but the phone doesn't turn on, neither with a full charged battery (I have something like 4 or 5 batteries for my Galaxys, so i'm really sure that isn't a battery problem) and neither with the usb jig (again, I'm sure that the jig works cause I've tried it on the white one and it works).

I've also tried to put the white's motherboard into the black phone and everything works well, so the black phone's mainboard is broken.

Here comes the problem: I don't know what it happened to the mainboard to break, the last time I saw my phone alive was when I looked at the time on the phone (I mean lockscreen, you know) and after I looked at it it turned off and never woke up (turn on).

Since my hardware skills are quitly good I tried to have a look at the mainboard itself, but it doesn't look damaged in any way, neither fired.

My first worry is about data, I've did a full backup of my phone 2 or 3 days past the damage but I wanna try to recover the latest data that are still stored on my phone.

I've also thought about order a new motherboard from ebay, but the data is still on the broken one, so it will be unuseful.

I attached to this post also 2 photos of the "broken" mainboard (front and rear, taken with my other Galaxy S2)

Any help will be appriced

Thank you in advance guys, I hope to recover data / fix my phone!
