Got this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Do the part at step after where it says added 04/02, and please make sure you check the md5sum of the file before flashing, if it doesn't match up you will have a hard brick. Just Google "md5sum windows" if you don't know how to calculate a md5sum on windows. There's freeware available to do it.

blurry eyed now

I've read threads and answers to the point now that I'm going in circles. No one seems to address my problem. I am in fastboot. It appears I can flash things onto my kindle. I got the "kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin" file on my kindle and got rid of the red screen. but I cannot get a recovery screen on my kindle. it just says kindle fire (fire is in orange). I press the power and volume up button and nothing. I go back to the beginning, read more threads. argh! it doesn't seem to be bricked. I just can't get a new bootloader to run so that I can flash a new rom. argh help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You can't get into twrp anymore be cause we had to restore the stock boot loader, now u just need to reflash the system image and it should boot up, might need the boot image as well, but I think that kfsrt restores both of those, just put it in fastboot again and start the process.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccsemigeek:
got it

It was a long haul but finally got out of the loop. thanks for your help! the final step that got me out of the ditch was to download and use the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5- 7.3.0, then I ran #3 restore-factory recovery. I learned a lot through the process about fastboot and flashing files. For now I'm rooted with factory launcher and some other options too. I still think I want to wipe it and make it totally android.

Thoughts or recommendations? and thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Well there are a fair amount of ROMs out, I use a tablet ui cm ROM that jester originally made, but when he went straight to cm 10.2 I wasn't ready so I made my own patch for cm 10.1 latest update with tablet ui, if your interested check the link in my signature out, though u need to put twrp back on again.

hi

I have an XDA compact and have tweeked it loads, i have to say its the most stable XDA EVER... ITS NEVER CRASHED! even with tomtom5 and all other stuff.

Any how, I have a SD wifi card which layed dormant while I had the XDAIIi (the most unstable XDA) but I was wondering about trying to find a way to hard wire the wifi in.

I have checked the reg and it has the wifi settings ready to tweek.

what I will try is running the 2gb sd card wired with the wifi card and a scan disc driver for the 256+wifi and see if this works.

I have though about using com 1 or the USB connection too.

any ideas on this??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dezined:
I've read that battery monitors aren't very exact on Samsung devices. Whether that's true or not, I'm running into excessive as well as intermittent battery drain issues. I know the screen on these devices are major power hogs. I'm attaching a screen cap from gsam that's showing more power drain with the screen off than on. I'm a little perplexed. I'm running the latest CM10.1.2 and lean kernel. Auto brightness is tuned very low throughout the curve.

Anyone she'd light on what's going on?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digaum2003:
Hello!

I have the Samsung Galaxy SII - GT-I9100 model, running unmodified Android 4.0.3 and whenever I make a change to any contact on my phone (it's marked as a Google Contact, btw), it stays that way until I synchronize my account with google, when the contact will then be reverted to the way it is on Google.

I have no idea what's wrong and it has been like this ever since I bought the phone. If I go to my Google account and change a contact through the web, my cell phone will sync and bring the changes from the google server, but the opposite (pushing changes to the server) won't happen.

All my contacts are orgnized and stored in the "My contacts" group. My contacts application is showing only the contacts on the google account, so there's no conflict with any contacts that might be stored locally on the phone (I've deleted all the phone and SIM contacts just to make sure nothing like that gets in the way).

I'd appreciate any help you guys could provide. I'm not willing to root or install any other ROM on this phone, I'd like to keep it stock for several reasons, warranty being one of the most important.

Thank you very much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digaum2003:
I just updated the Android version to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and uninstalled any contacts manager I might have had (Go Contacts Ex) and tried again, but to no avail.

Anyone else with the same problem? Does this have anything to do with the "My Contacts" group on Google Contacts? All these contacts are stored in that group. I haven't changed since I organized all my contacts when I bought the phone.

If anyone could help, I'd pay you a beer (or a dozen, perhaps).

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontav:
This thread is probably dead by now, and i'm not sure if anybody has figured out a solution to this issue. However i did find an intermediate solution with an app called "InTouchAPP" available in the playstore. It is an alternative solution to going through google's server in saving contacts. It integrates seamlessly with your phone, and you sign up for a username and password so you may never lose your contacts again.

I was having an issue in which i would save a new number and name it. Seconds later the name of the number would disappear. I tried going to directly to gmail.com and adding a contact and it would work. My only explanation was that my phone was not pushing information to the google server however google server was constantly overriding any new numbers i added on my phone.

If anybody has a better solution please share.

[LG Optimus G (International)] lildaan:
Hi all,

So I've bought the new LG Optimus G today and tried to install internet on it, but after using a guide on my providers website, it still will not work. I filled in a VPN network exactly as they say, but then I have to select it, something which is shown on the guide, but isn't possible on my phone. Maybe that might be the problem? I have updated the phone completely.

Thanks

Hey guys I followed this guide

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2235366

I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"

Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....

I have 4.1.2

Thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] churchey420:
Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.

I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
Yes its a screen with red letters and numbers saying the phone will reboot in 10 seconds.... So I re root in oden? then I pull the battery out before reboot? Could this brick my phone?

Thanks foe the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new? I bet the issue is related to one others are having where recovery cant mount partitions. To confirm that try this. Download this and place on pc http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/AUTOBOOT_RECOVERY/SPH-L710_TWRP_AUTOBOOT.exe

Its a odin one click that will autoboot you to twrp recovery just open it and click start with your phone connected in download mode.

Download this and place on your sd card. (preferably external)

If you can successfully flash that zip, it will root the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
About to give it a shot. Placing the root file on my external SD and phone into download mode, about to launch the odin app on pc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
my man, so far im in a 'team win recovery project screen' its all blue and stuff

this is pretty exiting for me.

So what do I press now? what does this screen mean?

(some personal insight, I have rooted my old evo 3d back in the day but il still pretty noobish, the twrp thing rings a bell)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
sweet man, Im in root checker and it says "congratulations this device has root access"

I wanted to ask you how does this method differ from the method I was trying to perform?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.

But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
Got it man, is this custom recovery better than the stock or is it essentially the same? I plan to install a custom rom soon.

(I didn't find many threads like this on google nor the search tool so hopefully people with the same strange problem as me will now find it. Should be useful)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

STOCK RECOVERY TAR
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricanjoe:
I got the goo manager, which recovery do I update to?

The app wants me to update to open recovery twerp 2/6/2/0/d2spr.img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Just open it. Hit Menu then tap "install openrecoveryscript" Then "Yes". Then "Yes" again. It'll download the latest TWRP and flash it automatically.

Edit:sorry had to reread that. Twrp 2620 is right

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

I have very similar /maybe the same) situation + FAP lock.

I have Samsung S5 Neo (SM-G903F) 5.1.1 Lollipop.

1) I would like to flash LineageOS version 16. By WEB info it is possible. Moreover I would like to root my phone.

2) I already instaled via ODIN TWRP and it worked. After It I made a backup of my phone etc.

3) I choosed at first to be sure, that my device is ROOTed and with unlocked bootloader. And after I will flash LineageOS 16.

4) So yesterday I made SF-Auto-Root. Not completely with success. ODIN said green PASS, phone restarted and worked normaly. But not ROOTED

5) Today I test to open RECOVERY (VOL+/HOME/POWER), but TWRP not started and shortly showing RED text:

"Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".

What is better for safety work without risk of BRICK?

I read somewhere, that in case of FRP lock is NOT POSSIBLE use ODIN for flashing stock rom , because it will be blocked due to FRP, but to use KIES3 or SMART SWITCH.

They were written that KIES3 or SMART SWITCH rewrite status of FRP, what is not possible to do via ODIN.

Am I right?

Thanks Peter.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uentity:
Hi guys,

Do any of you have successful solution to mount cifs shares with ANY kernel available? I've tried to do it with Project Flaming Monkey kernel, but had no luck. Most of the time I got "device not authorized" error when tried to mount via adb shell. But even if I could overcome this error (didn't figure out exact sequence of steps) it always says that mounting failed or even gets segfault.

With KTmanta kernel device is always authorized, I get root credentials immediately, but mounting also fails. Later I discovered that mounting actually happens and I can see it via adb shell, but it's invisible for all other users including root. Does it mean that 'mount using adb shell' trick doesn't work anymore?

Anyway I'll be very grateful for any kind of working solution or direction where to get it. Thanks in advance.

P.S. interesting but StickMount just works even on stock kernel that is said to have module loading disabled.

CM 10.2 plus Trinity Kernel plus Mount Manager works
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uentity:
I didn't yet tried trinity kernel

Thanks for the reply!

I think that kernel actually affects mounting process and not the ROM. Didn't tried trinity kernel yet, because author said that it's not feature complete for 4.3.

Do you have any issues with it? Everything works fine?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zod09999:
Running the kernel version TX10, I have had some rare forced close issues, but i have no idea if it is kernel- or rom-related, propably the latter. Other than that it works just as well as any 4.2 combo I had before. Some kinks here and there, but perfectly usable.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
I use Trinity with any 4.3 ROM and a script to mount my home file share. Works great.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slano:
I'm running 4.3 and Trinity kernel (tx17), I'm able to mount the cifs share from adb shell, I see the data there, but it's not available for the apps on the tablet. I also tried mounting the share using mount manager but it didn't help. I see it as a mounted, but no apps can see the data.

Where (mountpoint) and how should you mount the cifs share so it's visible for the rest of apps as well? Thx.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
I remember having this problem, but I don't remember how I fixed it. Here's my script, compare it to yours to see if there's any difference. The below is all one line;

busybox mount -t cifs -o username=tv,password=<your_password>,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000,unc=\\\\192.168.1.101\\files //192.168.1.101/files /data/media/0/TV-PC

I seem to remember it having something to do with mounting to /data/media/(whatever) or the uid/gid.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slano:
Did try all possible combinations but still no luck. I've changed rom to Flaming Monkey and everything works like a charm there, so I'll probably stick with it for a while.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c683:
So to confirm, you did get cifs working with project flaming monkey rom or that's just the Rom you settled with since cifs never worked anyway? Did you use trinity kernel tx17? That's currently the combo I have and for the life of me cannot get it to work..... I am just learning about this so I'm sure it's me but if I know I have the same combo as someone who got it working, I will keep trying.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slano:
I've tried stock ROM with the Trinity kernel but no luck. I was able to mount the cifs filesystem, but it was not accessible for other apps. I've switched to Flaming monkey and everything mounted and was available just fine.

What is your problem with the current set-up? Will the share mount ok but it's not accessible from other apps or are you not able to perform the mount at all?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c683:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried to use 3 different ways, below is a brief summary:

- CIFS Manager - No matter what I do, I get an "Invalid Argument" or "directory cant be found" error. Read and tried what is listed in CIFS FAQ to no avail.

- Mount Manger - Shows as connected, but there are no files; not in any apps or in the directory when using a file browser (root explorer or ES)

- Script - Yeah, just copied the script a few posts back and modified based on what I thought I needed to and used terminal emulator, gave it a go but nothing happens. Really don't know what I am doing with regard to script, over my head...

I also read that modules are needed but I thought the the trinity kernel already had them...

I am running the latest flaming monkey rom and trinity kernel on my nexus 10. So in short I really don't know exactly what I am doing but I will keep trying since I know you got it working with the same ROM and kernel setup. I can also access the files on my shared files through ES file explorer when I use the LAN or server feature so I know the PC is at least setup correctly, I think...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwodus:
I haven't tried it on 4.3 yet. But the "Invalid argument" error is a problem in Linux kernels 3.4 in general. Take a look here:

How to Troubleshoot CIFS Problems on Android and Linux in General

I encountered that problem ever since JB. The problem is that mount is usually used in this way:

mount -o username=youruser,password=yourpasswd -t cifs //ipofpc/shareonpc dironphone

But that does not work in kernel 3.4. The share-directory as a device name is ignored. It has to be specified with argument unc. Like this:

mount -o unc=\\\\ipofpc\\shareonpc,username=youruser,password=yourpasswd -t cifs none dironphone

Note: since backslash is an escape character the double \\ is needed instead of \. It's also a good idea to specify noperm if you want the mounted directory to be accessible by all apps. Otherwise the mounted directory might only be accessible by root on the phone.

So a working example looks like this:

mount -o noperm,unc=\\\\10.0.0.200\\Public,username=guest,password=secret -t cifs none /sdcard/shares/nas

You have to work around that problem in CifsManager. Enter it like this:

Share Path: Enter anything. It will be ignored.

Mount Point: directory on phone: e.g. /sdcard/shares/nas

Username: enter user name

Password: leave empty

Options: e.g. noperm,unc=\\\\10.0.0.200\\Public,password=secret
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c683:
Thank you for the detailed response, I will give that a try.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwodus:
BTW. I forgot. Before you try anything. Check if the directory /proc/fs/cifs exists. If it doesn't, then you are missing the required cifs kernel module. But more often then not, the kernel module is there and the problem is elsewhere.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c683:
Thank you for your help. I thought for sure I tried what you said in your last post before as I read something similar. However, the info was wrong or I screwed up because when I followed your detailed description, it worked!
