[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] drapoza:
So I've got a bricked Kindle Fire 2. It was rooted and running perfectly previously, but then I decided to update to the newest Amazon update 10.4.6. I followed their instructions on doing it instead of flashing, and it got stuck in bootloop. Yay.

I've got a fastboot cable. When I plug it in, my Kindle displays fastboot as expected. I have one with the blinking green light, and solid red light.

When I try to enter any fastboot commands, nothing happens. For example, "./fastboot -i0x 1949 devices" (I'm on a Mac) gets nothing.

On my PC at work, it was recognized as a Kindle in Device Manager. I'm on a Mac at home (no PC) and not sure how to ensure if it's recognized or not. Running adb devices returns nothing as well.

Any bright ideas?

*EDIT:

I had a space in there that I shouldn't have. So "./fastboot -i0x1949 devices" returns the device number, but trying to flash an img does nothing. I have to cancel the entry.

Okay, NOW any bright ideas?

Your syntax is still off, try "./fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it spits anything out.

I was going to ask these questions in Dev Forum Thread for Knoxless but I'm new here...

I have a Samsung S3 on AT&T that I rooted some time ago but stopped there and am still running stock. Anyway, I'd like to know if I update to 4.3 KNOXless do I need to prep the phone any differently or just follow the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504903 ? I'm fairly new to this and am trying to get caught up on everything and make sure I'm not going to brick the phone due to my ignorance.

One other question, I use the tethering/hotspot feature a decent amount and have noticed some ROMs/FW state they don't work with it. Is this the case with the stock KNOXless 4.3? I read through a lot of that thread but didn't see a clear answer on this. Also, let me know if there are other options I should consider.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

When changing from CHT to English I made a mistake and dumped the Charmer Rom Update... (by mistake.. wrong identification...)as a result the Extended rom stays the Chrmer and I can't get rid of it. I could not find a way to modify the extended rom can only "see" , can't modify it.

Could one of the 818pro wwe owners dump his complete rom (sd version) and upload it to the site?, Is there already a "shipped rom" version?

There seems to a way to unlock (replace/modify) the Ext Rom.

Dopod 818 pro and MDA compact II

Thanks hanmin for your prompt reply...

1. The MDA compact II is not the same H/W as the 818 pro. Your camera did not work becase the 818 pro has a defrent Camera 2.0 MPixels while the Compact II is only 1.3MPixels.

2. I tried all methods mentioned here and NADA... I can unhide the Extended Rom but I can't modify/get rid of the exsiting content (which has been originated by mistake when I RRUed it with the Charmer (MDA Compact II) files.

3. The 818pro on the FTP is missing the Extended rom NK/NBA files.. and I can't over write the rom because it is locked for writing. A shipping rom could help, because probably I can use the rom editing tools to set it up.

I wish there is a way to write back the extended rom files into the machine with the awizard utility (it is great.. but this function is mssing for my case...).

Still looking for a flash rom to clean my "dirty" T-mobile charmer extended rom on my 818 Pro..

Right now I stop the Extended rom update and built an ExtRom on my SD card using the files that are in the FTP.. however for future sake and for the simplisity of Hard Reset in the future I would like to have a complete Image of the Extended Rom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Not sure what's the reason, but looking at the log it seems to me as if there is a magic number written into the backup file which is checked on restore and probably there was a change between 4.3 and 4.4. One possibility would be going back to 4.3, restore the data / apps (if you do not have a full backup) and flash system.img and boot.img manually by fastboot. After that you should have a working 4.4 with all your apps and data recovered.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-A-Y:
Hello,

I have the same / a similar issue:

App Restore after upgrading to Android 4.4 KitKat does not work.

I wanted to upgrade my Nexus 7 LTE from Android 4.3.1 to 4.4. Before I successfully made an backup of all of my User Apps and in addition a second backup of all User & System Apps with WugFresh's "Nexus Root Toolkit".

After upgrading to KitKat I tried to restore with the toolkit. The process was faster than expected - too fast for the amount of data. It was completed "successfully" without any error. BUT nothing was restored.

Device: Nexus 7 2013 LTE (DEB)

Initial ROM: Android 4.3.1 - Build JLS36I

New ROM: Android 4.4.0 - Build KRT16S

NRT version: 1.7.9

It would be great, if you have any idea, how I can get back the App Data.

Thx

Jay
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, it didn't work. Same results. Since it's a tar file, I'm thinking what I could do is flash the insecure boot image, and then extract the contents to my device.

Here's the issue I have. Not only did I backup the data partition, I also did a full backup of my internal storage, which I can restore. However, if I just install the internal storage, it creates directories that were placed there by the apps that are in my /data backup. With android, each app get's it's OWN "user account" under Linux/Android. That way, a rogue app cannot mess with it, in most cases. So what happens is, if I go ahead and install the internal storage backup and then try to reinstall the apps, they won't install because the directories they would place their data in are already created BUT are NOT owned by them, so basically, I'm getting a "can't download" error from Google play. In other words, the directories are owned by "root" but not by the app that previously was installed.

The other thing I'm going to try is I backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup, so I'll just copy those back to the internal drive, reinstall all the apps and then try to copy the rest of the internal storage back to the tablet.

The other issue I'm thinking is, could the backup have a something in it that was based off of my Nexus tablet? You see, my N7 took a dump about 2 weeks ago and I had it RMA'd, so I'm wondering if the backup won't work because it senses it's NOT the same machine that was backed up before?

I'm beginning to think that is the problem. ASUS replaced the entire motherboard, so my N7 has a whole new set of guts inside. It's not the original motherboard that I did the backup on.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you have a full backup, restore that backup and after that flash system.img and boot.img which you can extract from the Google Android 4.4 image file for the Nexus 7. That's all you have to do.

It's not a full backup. I have a backup of the internal/sd storage which restores fine. Then, I have a backup of the data partition which is in a tar file. That is what will not restore, giving me the errors about an invalid key. I can extract the tar file without an issue manually, but I can't get it to install via the Unified/N7 toolkit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Restoring the data on 4.3 or 4.4 is failing?

If restoring on 4.3 already fails, then probably the backup is broken. Or did you have encrypted your data partition and you are trying to restore that now?

Here's another issue after restoring my SD card backup.

I can't delete any files or directories that were restored from the backup! Permissions are set correctly, but I cannot manipulate them. I've even tried using fix permission in TWRP and in ROM Manager, but nothing seems to work.

I can rename directories, but I cannot delete them. If I copy them and THEN I can delete the copied files. If I reboot into TWRP, I can delete the directories that way. Just not via Root Explorer or ES Explorer in root mode. Nor if I adb shell in and do "su -". I cannot manipulate the restored directories.

I have SU enabled but nothing seems to work. This only happens when I restore from SD card backup which was from a different motherboard.

This is SO confusing and aggravating. I think I'm going to have to wipe my SD card because I cannot delete any of the restored files.

Sometimes I let my battery run to empty. Everytime that happens I can still hit the power button and my K-Jam will do a soft reset and then turn off shortly afterwards. I let my phone die yesterday when I was on the road. It won't turn on and it doesn't appear to be charging. I checked the battery with a multi-meter and its showing 2.5V on a 3.7V battery. Is this too low for the phone to work? Can anyone think of a reason why it would be completely non-responsive?

Lithium batteries behave differently from NiCads regarding charge discharge cycles.

Where NiCads *like* to be fully discharged before recharging, Lithium batteries *hate* it. They prefer to be topped up regular and often.

My guess is that you have a dead battery given the way that it has been abused (by being treated like a NiCad)

I had the same problem some weeks ago. If the battery go down to much and wizard switch off then you have big problems because this ppc charge only when OS is loaded!

So if you are not able to switch on to charge it you have to charge the battery outside the phone.

This problem happen to me when i was traveling and i forget my charger at home... I bought another USB cable i cut it to take out the red and black wires, then i take out the battery from the wizard and put red wire on the pin with label (+) and black wire to the pin (-), the pin label are written on the battery. I put attention to don't make shortcuts and that wires and pin was touching and let 15 minutes to charge (natually the USB was attached to my laptop). Then disconnected USB cable from laptop, put the battery on wizard and switched on it pressing the power button few seconds. It booted up and when OS was loaded i connected the normal USB cable to the phone to finish to charge it.

Now i charge the battery before that reach 0%!

Thank you so much, I will try that as soon as I get home tonight. If I understand you correctly it sounds like battery charging is software based and not hardware based, which is a major design flaw.
