Hi All,

I just found out this information regarding Orange and collecting email through a GPRS connection, and thought I would share it with our community.

I've been using an Orange SPV M1000, but on an O2 contract, set up the email with the O2 details and had no problem picking up my emails via GPRS in any country.

I then changed last week, to an Orange SPV M2000 on an Orange contract, set it up to pick up my emails, but when I hit the send/recieve button, it just sat there saying 'Connecting...' until I cancelled the connection manually.

Called Orange support today and they told me this was a known problem with the M1000 and M2000, that it was a good sign it was just saying 'Connecting...' which meant my settings were correct. What they told me to do was to leave it sitting for 30 to 40 seconds whilst it said 'Connecting...' manually disconnect, then wait 2 or 3 minutes and try it again and it would all be ok and connect/send and recieve straight away.

Mmm... I thought it sounded odd, but would give it a try, well it worked exactly as the support guy said !

So, why didn't it work like that when I'd been trying for 2 days to get it to work? Well, out of habit, I always switched GPRS off after I'd tried to connect, and having tested various scenario's, it seems like the first time you connect to the Orange email server, GPRS switches on, does some sort of handshaking with the network and so long as you DO NOT DISCONNECT the GPRS connection, it connects and sends/recieves instantly the next time you connect. If you do switch GPRS off after sending and recieving, it has to go through the handshaking process again, where you have to manually disconnect after 30 - 40 seconds, then all is well again.

BTW - My email was a non-Orange POP3 account, but I think the same would apply if it was any email account as its the GPRS/email handshaking that causes the issue, that plus me switching off GPRS :wink: Plus I'm pretty sure this is specific to using the Orange email/GPRS as my M1000 didn't exhibit this behaviour when connecting to the O2 network.

Hope this is of some use.

All the best,

Andy (Diesel).

[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
Hello all,

The microUSB port on my Rezound has recently taken to working only at certain angles, so if I'm not paying attention when I plug it in, it sometimes doesn't charge properly. For that reason I started looking to buy the inductive charging plate, but it appears to be out of stock everywhere! Does anyone know of a place that might still be selling them, and/or would someone who has one be willing to sell it to me?

Thanks for any leads!
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
My bad! It is in stock at the Verizon online store. What threw me off was that it's not listed in the Rezound's accessories page for some reason.
[HTC Rezound] MastricX:
Where you able to find the base charger anywhere? That's what I'm looking for now.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I believe any Qi supporting charging mat should work with it, the one test I saw used this one and it's Qi I believe - http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phone-accessories/lg-WCP-700
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
Correct, any standard Qi charger should work. The one I bought is the Nokia DT-900 wireless charging plate, which has worked perfectly for me and is generally less expensive than the LG plate that Verizon officially endorses for the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
Any one try this with a custom ROM and kernel? I mean it should work, just wondering if it didn't. Thinking of getting one, but don't want to buy if I cannot use AOSP ROMs.

Hi, my kf2 is stucked at fastboot, i'm not able to boot into recovery or system, i have succesfully installed fff-1.4a using a factory cable (because it was bricked with the stock bootloader) and have installed the otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img from hashcode..

It boots and i see the blue kindle logo, and have a menu, but when i select recevery it just turns on the amber light and stays there, i have left it for about 5 minutes waiting to see if it get to revery with no luck.

I tried this:

It succeed as you can see, it has the fff bootloader and twrp recovery is installed!!

Then i tried

sudo fastboot -i 0x18d1 flash zip cm-10.1-20130704-NIGHTLY-otter2.zip

OKAY [ 38.806s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: partition does not exist)
finished. total time: 38.813s

It seem like a partition table problem maybe because i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod and not a stock image...

I think maybe i must reformat the partitions but i only have access to fastboot and i have read the documentation of Android Fastboot in OmapPedia but i'm not sure it's a "generic" information and don't want to mess up things more.

I have read many trheads in the forum but all of them use adb and there's not a thread with instructions about it..

Or maybe i need to flash all the images (system, kernel, etc..) with fastboot but i don't know where to get it, the main problem is that i'm not able to boot into recovery and maybe that point to the real problem

Any help is appreciated !!

Thank's
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
You can't write CyanogenMod from fast boot.

Sounds like somewhere in there you formatted the system partition. You need the stack file on the system partition in order to boot into recovery.

Restore to stock using fast boot and try again.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] LUC4X:
How?

Maybe it is the problem as fastboot oem format seems to do the job...

I have downloaded the stock update-kindle-6.3.2_D01E_4110520.bin, please can you point to the thread explainig how to do that using fastboot or it's just as easy as rename the file to update.zip and flash it directly?

Edited: also i'm not completely sure it's a kf2 and can't get a hint on how to discover it without knowing the is version :banghead: I've looked one the motherboard and is a MB0090 F3F.

I've downloaded the stock bin for the kf2 too...

Thank' for your quick reply
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
Well. If you have a kf2... The update you downloaded is wrong. IT'S FOR THE ORIGINAL KINDLE FIRE.

Without knowing what device u have u better slow down a sec. Any advice i give COULD permabrick u of you're on the wrong device.

What color was the BOX it came in? What is the model# on the back? (Same for kf1 AND 2 BUT NOT THE KF HD 7" OR 8").

Be advised- this device is EASY TO BRICK. BE CAREFUL.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
It's apparent you have a KF1 and not a KF2. The command "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." would not work on the KF2 because it still has the stock bootloader (unless something miraculous happened while I was AFK). The stock bootloader has a VID of 1949, and will not answer to commands using a different VID. 18d1 is Goggle's VID and is indicative of having FFF installed (KF1 only).

BTW, the "-i 0x18d1" part is completely unnecessary on FFF.

That's not your biggest problem though....

sudo fastboot -i 0x18d1 flash boot fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin

That command is completely wrong. What you're doing there is flashing the bootloader (fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin) to the boot (kernel) partition. Obviously, there is no way that could possibly would work out for you. After the "fastboot" portion of the command, you need to specify what you want done with the image in question: flash or boot. "Flash" is persistent, "boot" is for one boot only. In the next part of the command, you need to specify which partition the image in question goes to; bootloader, recovery, boot, etc.

What you need to do is get an actual

recovery.img

and flash it to your

recovery partition

before you can even think of accessing said recovery to flash a ROM and get your device working again.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] LUC4X:
Well you are completely right!! Didn't realize I was flashing it to the kernel partition, I bought this on eBay and it was already bricked, when I used the factory cable first time I got a lab26 device, and it was a 1949 so, if I'm right it's a kf2.

I've already flashed a twrp recovery but it won't boot.. I'll try sintering else and post the results here
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
No. The stock bootloader on all generations and variants of Kindle Fires have vendor IDs of 1949. The fact that your device responds to the "fastboot -i 0x18d1..." clearly means you have a custom bootloader installed in its place. If you have an actual custom bootloader installed (not 2nd bootloader) then you clearly cannot possibly have a KF2.

In this thread, you say you have installed recovery twice, but the information given seems to suggest otherwise.

So to try and get to the root of the problem, what is the exact command you used to install custom recovery, and what custom recovery (version) did you install?

Glad you are here soupmagnet!

I didn't even look at the commands he was using but i definitely learned stuff from your posts. Thanks again

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] LUC4X:
Commands used

Sorry guys i was out of town...

These are the commands (bootloader & recovery) i've used till now:

Also tryed the twrp from teamw's site in both versions (otter & blaze) just to make sure, by issuing the following commands:

With this, when i reboot and select the recovery it turns on the amber light for 2 seconds and shuts down.

Then when i install the other recovery version (blaze from teamw):

When select recovery i get the same result: amber light for 2 seconds and turns off.

And with hashcode otter2-twrp-2.4.4.0-recovery.img:

It hangs on amber light and i have to manually turn it off holding the power buttom for 10 seconds...

So you think it is a kf1 based on the device id?, it shows that id after i installed the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin from hashcode that i intended for the kf2...

Well, based on that i have installed a kf1 bootloader:

Downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192818

Unzipped it (as i'm GNU/Linux)

"Grepped" recursively till find the web address to download files from

Downloaded fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin

Downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img

Followed the install procedure

Same result !!, still can't get it to boot into recovery...

Really i hope someone here can point me to the right direction to fix this tablet, can't figure out what's wrong with kf(?)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Lets get a few things clear right off the bat. The file named fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin is the custom bootloader for the KF1. The bootloader flashed in the KF2 2nd bootloader installation is named otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin. If you flash the fff-u-boot_v1.4a.bin (FFF1.4a) onto a KF2, you would end up with something that is slightly less useful than a doorstop.

Why you

re

-installed it is a mystery to me. You already had FFF1.4a installed. I know this (as I explained earlier) by the fact that your commands, using the "-i 0x18d1" switch, were successful. If you had a stock bootloader, no commands containing that particular vendor ID would work at all. If you had a KF2, there is absolutely NO WAY you would have a device that responds to fastboot commands using "-i 0x18d1". Even with a modified KF2, with 2nd bootloader installed, the vendor ID would still be 1949 and all fastboot commands must include "-i 0x1949" or they will not work. You can confirm the fact that you have FireFireFire installed by entering a fastboot command without adding "i- 0x18d1". With FireFireFire (KF1 only), the commands will still work because it is unnecessary to specify the vendor ID.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure what's going on with TWRP using both "otter" and "blaze" for the board name (I think it has something to do with Goo Manager?), but anything you get from the TWRP website should work for the KF1 (for the time being at least). Anything you get from Hashcode will be for the 2nd generation KFs.

I would suggest, to avoid complicating things any further, that you download Cannibal Open Touch recovery, confirm that the MD5sums match after downloading, and flash it to recovery in fastboot. COTR only works for the KF1 (not made for the 2nd Generation devices yet) so there is "practically" no way you can get the wrong one. If that works and you still want to try TWRP, download the one for Blaze, check the MD5 (as you should with everything), and try flashing it in recovery again.

If you still can't get your device to boot into recovery, try the command again, but replace the word "flash" with the word "boot" and leave out the partition (i.e. 'fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-blaze.img'). If the device boots into recovery, then you know you have the right one and you may have bad blocks in your recovery partition preventing it from booting, but you won't know for sure without checking a few things out first.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I posted that ages ago. I'm not even sure what device it's for.

Check the file size. If it's around 350MB go ahead. If it's closer to 500MB then it's probably for the HD.

I can't imagine why you couldn't load recovery using the 'fastboot boot recovery.img' command. Did you receive any errors when trying?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] LUC4X:
There's not error message, this is the output:

sudo fastboot boot CannibalOpenTouch-v2.1_otter.img

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.394s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 1.398s

But it never boots up and stays off.

I'm seriously thinking it may be a hardware failure but i wont give up until i'm completely sure about it.. that's why i though i should reformat partitions at the first time but the fastboot oem format command "seems" to work, perhaps it takes very short time to execute 0.068s and it is a very short time, so i though maybe it isn't really formatting anything, is it a "normal time"?

Right now i'm downloading the file it's 380MB maybe something good could happen!!

I'll try the following and will post the results:

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The command 'fastboot oem format' will only make sure the partition layout is stock, it does not format the partitions themselves. The information within the limits of the partitions will remain untouched, so it won't do you much good in this situation. The only way to properly format any partition is with recovery (or 'parted' which is usually run from recovery anyway). Your situation is rather unique because the "fastboot boot' command doesn't write anything to the recovery partition. It loads the disk image you choose, into active memory, as if your computer were a separate partition on which that image is stored. There shouldn't be any reason for it to not work properly.

Try to flash the system partition you downloaded and see how it goes. I would also suggest that you make absolutely sure the md5sums match before installing any image to your device, including the recovery images you downloaded before.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] yagamil:
At the begining i saw you were using "fastboot flash zip...." that's wrong command.. should be "fastboot flash update xxxx.zip"

so if you find the totally package, youcan use it.

also you has mixture the boot.img and bootloader.bin..

recovery is not needed if you can flash the right bootloader and boot.:laugh:

You can switch your internal and external SD space. That way you can fool your tablet into thinking that it's internal space is 32GB and everything will be stored on your SD card automatically.

You can do it with the app called Link2SD, however required root access. You may refer this (http://techtrickz.com/how-to/extend...roid-phone-by-utilizing-a-portion-of-sd-card/) article to get an idea on how to use the app. It's quite simple and explained step by step. :)

UPDATE Aug 13: The app has been removed from the playstore AGAIN

UPDATE JULY 31st: The app has been restore in the playstore, it seems as if the dev was not lying and has kept its promise

Well, the app has been taken down. I contacted the gev through email, facebook and G+ and he never answered. Samething happened to a few members so i have taken my issue with the boss (Google) and they were extremely fast to refund me. Literally 10 seconds after I clicked submit issue, they sent an email confirming me my complaint was accepted and the refund has been made. GREAT!!!

I would not request a refund for an app taken down unless i had issue with it, which i did, so because the dev never answered, here is how to do it for yourself if you feel you've been abandoned.

Log into your google account https://play.google.com/store/account and go to "My Orders and Settings"

Look for SmartRemote and hit "Report a problem", then select "I'd like to request a refund" and give them a brief explenation. Also, if the app serves you, please don't do this, do this only if you're having issues that the dev obviously wont repair because he has, as far as i know, abandonned us.

​

Then, check your email and within 10 seconds i got this email:
