[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonny0099:
I just loaded a new version of CM 10.1 on my sdcard ready to flash. I rebooted in TWRP, did the necessary wipes, then went to install my new ROM. Surprise, using Safari on Mac, it automatically opened the downloaded .zip file to a folder :mad: I didn't realize this as I was transferring, so now I have the extracted folder for my ROM, but the system can apparently only read .zips. So I am now without an OS. And no, I don't have a backup on the card. I just transferred it to my Hard Drive a few days ago to save on storage. But now I am VERY clear why it should stay on the card. Stupid.

I noticed that TWRP has a USB mount feature so I could copy over the proper .zip. But it won't mount on my computer (Mac or PC). In the console I see "E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode." I tried getting into it via ADB, which worked before, but now it does not even list my device. Tried ADB side load, and it just never starts up on the Kindle.

I could never get fastboot to detect the device in the first place, so I haven't even bothered with any of that.

What can I do? All I want is to get my .zip back on the kindle. Or is there a way to .zip the extracted folder back into a .zip on the kindle itself with command line? Is there a way to install folders instead of .zips?

I've scoured several similar posts but nothing seemed to be resolved, or their fixes depending on ADB working.

Please help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
There isn't a way to re-zip a directory within Android in such a way that it can be flashed in recovery. You'll need to sort out your driver issue in Windows, or use the Mac (better choice anyway) to 'adb push' a new ROM to your sdcard.

Did you happen to wipe your internal storage before this happened?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonny0099:
When I did my wipe, I just followed the same instructions as when I did my original flash. Wiped system first, and then did the Factory Reset which includes data, cache and dalvik.

I tried plugging in the Kindle to my Mac while TWRP had the USB mounted, but nothing. I was just using the Android File Transfer for Mac that Amazon originally recommended when I first got it. That does not recognize anything now. Is there another way to access a Kindle on a Mac? Can you get Android SDK and run from a Mac Console command line? I thought all the commands were only for Windows. Does the Mac work better?

For my PC, I had the ADB drivers working fine before this. When I plug in now, I hear the windows SFX and it shows up in device manager as "Other Device" but listed as a Kindle. But the driver doesn't work, and it can't find drivers when I search. The Kindle used to show up as its own device with Android ADB under it. That never shows up anymore, probably why I can't do ADB commands.

But I think the computer is fine, because when I try to reinstall those drivers, it says they are already there. I'm guessing the Kindle itself is not allowing it to be recognized because there is no way to "enable ADB" in its settings since the OS is gone. I was hoping TWRP would have this built in.

I'm not sure why ADB Sideload doesn't work. It just sits there forever trying to start. I wish I could just push a new .zip that way. It's driving me nuts trying to figure out why nothing ADB works after the wipe.

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonny0099:
I downloaded the SDK for Mac and ran the ADB commands through Mac Terminal — it recognized the device! I never would have thought to try the Mac. Not sure why it worked differently, but it did. I was able to push a new ROM .zip through ADB and all is well.

Still not sure why I couldn't get the TWRP USB mount to work, but I learned my lesson, always keep a backup ON-CARD.

Thank you!

I assumed you already tried it on the Mac. But yeah....Mac is waaaaaay better at detecting the Kindle Fire than Windows.
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
The GITHUB public activity pages are a great way to get a general idea of the work that is going into building the Thunderbolt JB kernel.

Here is a listing of the developers that are working on the Thunderbolt according to their GITHUB public activity pages. I didn't list developers that don't have ICS/JB activity (assuming they have retired from the TB). Click on each link to view their GITHUB public activity.

elginsk8r

Flyhalf205

jblack248

liquid0624

LoungeKatt (TwistedUmbrella)

MongooseHelix

santod

sbryan12144

ziggy471

A GITHUB public activity page does not show all the activity, so keep that in mind.

The developer listing is in alphabetical order based on their GITHUB userID.

A big thanks to all of the DEVs, and please correct me if I missed anyone.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] jblack248:
Hey, this is a cool list. It's nice to know people are keeping us honest.

We recently started an organization on github to collaborate easier, so that should be the main place you need to look if you want to stay updated.

https://github.com/LiquidMecha
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
Very Cool! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
Hi jblack, I've been following the liquidmecha development? It looks like you and liquid have been working on the RIL code for jellybean.

Is the RIL code the last major component in the jb development? Or are we talking about major hurdles across the board?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] jblack248:
You're correct; the radio is the last major component left to get working on JB. Right now we're trying to get baseband to work. I've been pretty busy lately, so Liquid and Santod have been the main guys working on the radio. disconnecktie ha been an incredibly helpful tester thus far, and he also has his own kernel going. Everything else has been reported to work, including the camera and camcorder (not 720p, though). The radio has been especially difficult.
[Thunderbolt General] jacobmacek:
Whats wrong with the RIL is the ramdisk permissions. The RIL should work, but without the correct ramdisk permissions, the radio itself wont power on, which is the problem we are dealing with now. Think of it this way, you have a pin # to unlock your phone but you have forgotten it, and now you need to try every possible combination you can think of until you land on the right one, and then your phone will unlock. Thats how the problem has to be solved basically.
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
Ouch! That doesn't sound good.
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
Jacobmacek, thanks for the info. How big of an obstacle are we talking about? Could this potentially prevent the DEVs from getting the radio to work with JB?
[Thunderbolt General] jacobmacek:
Meh, depends on how you look at it, it's really just a matter of time
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Since you included the word "potentially", yes, potentially it could prevent it :p
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
"So you're telling me there's a chance" :)

[YOUTUBE]KX5jNnDMfxA[/YOUTUBE]
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Don't think to much into it people. Data will work it will just take time and lots of testing. Be patient and it will come.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
It was a joke... Geez... It's like someone asking "is it possible that 'x' will happen by tomorrow?" and responding, "yes, it's possible" is 100% true.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Sorry if I sounded like a jerk. I wasn't trying to. Lots of time is being put into getting them to work. I will say that it's close. The radios turn on but are turning themselves off during the boot process.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
I also wasn't trying to take away anything in regards to the efforts involved in that either. I was simply playing on the hypotheticals that the person included in their question. I couldn't resist answering hypothetically as well ! :D
[Thunderbolt General] arizonaomnia:
You know, I really appreciate updates like this. It is so much easier to avoid laying around whining like a kid in the back seat on a road trip when we hear progress reports once in a while. :)
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
I agree, it's nice to see progress is being made.

Once they get the radio working and fully functional JB roms start hitting the Thunderbolt, I hope that XDA's portal page will display the news. I was sorta surprised that the XDA homepage didn't at least give a one-liner when the ICS source was released by HTC. We all waited for so long and there were so many articles about how HTC was delaying the release, and then when the source was released....not one article or blurb.

I'm just hoping that the XDA portal page will give the Thunderbolt a little love when JB is ready. That may spark other news outlets to follow the fact that this older device is still being supported by the DEVs.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Agreed. It would be awesome to see an article, and also recognition of the hard work of liquid, santod, jblack, and twisted.
[Thunderbolt General] blackshoes:
I added Flyhalf205 GITHUB activity to the list.
[Thunderbolt General] Shadow Death:
I'm not all that shocked about the lack of Thunderbolt love on the portal. When the Nexus S 4G got ICS, yes.. a developer phone, they didn't say much either. One of the DEV's for that phone managed to get a working version of ICS built for it based off the SDK, which technically shouldn't have worked, but it did. They didn't even show love for that.

No need to worry though, the Thunderbolt community know where our bread is buttered. :laugh:
[Thunderbolt General] unctucker:
I don't care who the Developers are, its that they are still around for the Thunderbolt that amazes me. I love it that with all the bad rap this phone received that I'm currently running two of them with unlimited data. I just went into the Big Red store yesterday just to browse and there is not a phone there that I would give up my Tbolt for. Had two sales guys try and talk to me about something new and I showed them my ICS running dinosaur. Why change when all I want I already have. Now when the One comes "lol", that may change. This is to all you guys "and girls if any" that put all your free time and effort into making this phone into something it was never intended to be.... Thank You. Still rocking my Bolt.
[Thunderbolt General] Shadow Death:
I love the hardware and build quality but I have NO love for the not-so-opensource software that they throw on these phones. They're so concerned about someone else stealing their thunder (no pun intended) that they are willing to hurt developers just to get their way. :mad:
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
It doesn't just hurt developers, but users as well. The wait for GB and ICS on the bolt was ridiculous, and a valid reason to avoid HTC products in the future. On reddit, some time ago, as an HTC representative was hyping the one, I brought up my skepticism of HTC, and they went so far as to apologize for the thunderbolt in general, the updates for it, etc. While HTC has made good on a number of promises lately, I don't love sense or HTC hardware enough to jump into owning another HTC with null OEM and carrier support, at least not without serious consideration.
[Thunderbolt General] Shadow Death:
Yeah, I'm hoping Verizon decides to take their head out of their ass try and get more phone brands to compete with HTC. I'd really love to see the Nexus 4 or quite possibly the next Nexus device in their stocks. The problem is when you walk in they instantly try to sell you an HTC product which makes me think that they have an exclusive deal with HTC like Dell did with Intel a while back.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
They always try to sell me Samsung at the local VZW store. By the time VZW stocks the one, it'll be approaching 6mo. Status, and won't be worth buying. That's the major problem with VZW, they're so insistent on their rigorous testing, locking down, bloating, etc. That they get multicarrier devices after they've been out for awhile on other carriers. And, oftentimes, new and interesting phones don't even pop up on Verizon, or they are released long after they've been available elsewhere, and the next wave of devices comes shortly thereafter.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
There is word that the vzw version of the one will be better than the other carriers. Also, nexus devices are decent but not always the best. They do make unlocking them easier but they have their issues and they also tend to be fragile because they are trying to make them cheap. The n4 has good hardware but where the hell is the 4g at? Yea they made it have good specs but why take a step back and make it 3g? At this point its really hard for me to not stick with HTC. Samsung hasn't really made an appealing phone IMO in a long time, and I hate Motorola phones. HTC has great hardware, the best audio and by far the best camera of any device and their phones are typically more durable.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Yeah. I've always been of the mindset that Nexus devices are for developers more than anything else, and have poor audio, camera, and build quality compared to devices marketed as daily use phones for average users. I don't care for Motorola either, but the VZW one will have to have much more than an exclusive color as compared to currently available versions on other carriers for me to consider it.
[Thunderbolt General] Shadow Death:
I recall reading that the reason why the Nexus 4 never shipped with 4G was because it's a world phone. I can understand that since not all carriers in the world can agree on how 4G should be setup. As far as Motorola.. they had their chance with the Photon 4G when ICS dropped. They ignored it and kept GB on it which had little to no support for multicore processors.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sms2000:
Hi All

Just installed "Despicable Me: Minion Rush" the game from the Google Play.

I cannot run it smoothly. Everything is bad, the gameplay is just a pain.

Verified with stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock and Perseus kernels.

I just cannot believe or quad core 1.6GHz + more or less modern GPU cannot handle such a game.

Could anyone try and report your experience?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
It doesn't stutter for me in the game while I have control but more like when I click "play" and then the little minion runs and jumps. In game it's responsive (mostly) but while clicking play or changing locations it's HORRIBLY laggy!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sms2000:
I used Asus tablet (Tegra 3 quad core) to run the game.

Same problems exactly.

People wrote reviews stating the old HTC Evo 3D can run "Despicable Me" with no problem at all. I will try to persuade my fem to install the game and make some tests on her Evo 3D.

Still, could be worse - I've had friends with iPad mini's, iPhone 5's, and gen 5 iPod touch's that are 'jumpy' (because it will skip a frame) with this game.

I'd get a good 23FPS on this game with Power Saving Mode On. :)

P.S.: It's probably Gameloft's (the devs') fault. I've seen HTC One's (2013 One) exhibit the same slow frame rate as my Note II.

Just a quick question about Wifi SD Cards

1. Are they worth it ?

2. Are they any good ?

3. Is there a lot of "Hot Spots" in the UK ?

The reason I ask is that my bithday is drawing close and i may ask for one as a pressie.

I have'nt got wireless at home just thinking of having one as a bit of a toy really . (Cant think of anything else I want from the mother in law besides socks He He ! )

So what I'm asking is are they worth having one for free or will it just be a gimick?

Thanks In advance
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
There are plenty of hotspots all over uk, also you can set up a wireless system at home by adding a router to your broadband connection and surf happily at home, in the garden or in the toilet if you wish, it is very fast and although there is a place for bluetooth when using headsets etc, the wireless system is unbeatable for surfing and data exchange.
