Recd msg alert stunts513 to the error while using wallpaper fix 2.1

I am having a terrible time with this Kindle HD 2nd generation table I tried to root. I was following this guys post on You tube and got it rooted but something when wrong when I tried installing the 2nd bootloader and twrp. I ended up stuck with a blue kindle logo. I tried turning it on with the volume button pushed to the left and it went from orange to blue and then to the twrp recovery menu. That was a few days ago, Its been stuck in that mode ever since, there are no back up folders and I think was making the problem worse, as it seems I could do the adb push and now I cant, well at least i couldnt before running your wallpaper fix 2.1 I ran it once and it wouldnt take I dont remember the error, but my table was at the blue logo screen. I remembered reading about running something while you powered the device on because there was an few seconds of access to something, I cant remember so I tried that and unknown to me It appears from these notes i found that I suscessfully installed it - then tried again -then something about the backup??? I am going to cut and paste it here and not do a thing until I hear from you, as I dont want to mess it up. I didnt know the fix worked cause i was watching the command screen and not the side of the file where i have your tool on my desktop.

Here is everything from that run. in the attached file
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK so lemme get this straight, you are stuck in twrp without adb access? Also I will have to double check on my PC but when I download that file its not a PDF but a text file and its HTML with a 404 error message in it when I view it on my kindle.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jdoki:
Yes somehow I have twrp and I think when I first got into the bootloop I had adb access but in fumbling around trying to fix it I lost adb access.

If I turn the kindle off, and then push power and do nothing it powers up with the yellow logo and in 4 seconds that log turns blue and it stays that way until i turn it off. In this state checking device manager it shows the device as an android phone, Android ADB interface. If I unplug the device the device manager no longer shows it - If I power up the device and while the logo is still yellow push the volume button to the left it boots to twrp

I re did the notes in a new pdf file I hope you can access them now. I tried looking at them from my post on my pc and got that same access code error. I cant win on this thing tonight,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly

The tutorial at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277105 tells you, in step 4, to place a custom ROM on the Kindle before you reboot into twrp. You then install that from from within twrp and then you get past the blue logo. If you didn't put the custom ROM on your kindle and adb isn't working then you need to install the abd drivers from stunts513's forum signature then do the twrp adb sideload.

Relevant sections from the tutorial:

Hope this helps... someone.

Your post fixed my bricked tablet, THANK YOU SO MUCH. There is so much info that its confusing for a noob like me - I followed the directions you posted and I am in. thank you, thank you, thank you
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitcrawler:
Yeah, I know there's a lot of information. It took me a long time and a lot of research before I attempted it as a noob myself. An important thing is to follow the tutorials word for word and skip nothing, and cross your fingers.

Got fastboot comunication between PC and KFHD

Thanx a lot for the quick response! :good: I was finally able to install your great drivers. I had to be quick as you said in some other posts, because the pc only detects it for a little while, when the logo it's still orange on the kindle, I think. After that, and while on fastboot screen, my device manager would detect a Jem-something device, but could not install any drivers on it. So I had to install the drivers really fast while in the orange logo, oh, and had to disable the drivers signature check on windows 8 also.

Now I can use fastboot commands to reboot the kindle, but I can still only get to the blue logo or the fastboot screen.

I guess this means I now can use the kindle first aide to go back to stock and try again for the TWRP and 2nd bootloader. I'll post if I can't make my kindle boot normal again later.

Do you know if this was my kindle being bricked or was it something else?

Thanks a lot again, I was very worried that i wasn't getting anywhere. .:laugh:

Stuck on blue logo!

Hi!

I'm having a similar problem... I recently got a second hand Kindle 2nd Generation already rooted with Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.otter2 on it. Google Play and some other apps where having issues, so I decided to downgrade. After testing a couple of different ROMs, I got stuck on the blue logo, an infinite booting screen. Funny enough, I think the mistake was to install a Fire first generation ROM into a 2nd generation. Anyway, long story short, I've tried everything, Kindle First Aide (won't help because it seems that all the options need me to be in the desktop of the tablet and I can't get there), SDK ADB will see the device but return a device offline... I'm running out of options and don't really know what to do!

Any ideas guys??

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer155:
I'm considering switching to the LG G2. I currently have a nexus 4 on tmobile but want more battery life which the G2 seems to be very good at providing. However I keep reading threads all over this g2 section saying people accidentally bricked their phone or somehow lost their imei number. Just how easy is it to brick the g2? If I got one I would most likely root it to remove bloat apps. I'm used to the nexus 4 where there really doesn't seem to be a way to brick it permanently.

Also how is the gps? I've read several threads of people complaining it fails to lock or loses lock. Is that a significant issue still?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkow19:
GPS was always terrible for me, and I think I just bricked my G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshygeek:
Just ignore the post above ^ . Bricking a phone depends on the user. Well, there will always be a way to get out of trouble. Flashing stock. As soon as you know what you are doing and you follow instructions correctly then ur good.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rokfor2000:
I'm a heavy Waze user and I never had any issues with GPS (I've got the phone for about 2 weeks now so something might still pop out).

It is not easy to brick this one.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer155:
I thought there might be something different about the G2 that made it easier to brick like the OP of that thread mentions at the end. I'm still not completely sure about it though because in addition to the gps sometimes people say malfunctions, they also mention the touchscreen behaving erratically.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I guess, in theory, any phone can be bricked to a certain extent (soft bricked, if you will). However, the common factor to all of these "help, I'm bricked" threads is the user. Read through them and you'll see that in nearly everyone the reason for the bricked device is the user made some idiotic decision or they didn't follow directions. They flashed a ROM for a different variant, or modded some system files they had no business messing with, or one of a hundred other stupid things you shouldn't be doing unless you absolutely know how to undo it. Heck, sometimes it was as simple as not making a backup before making these changes. If you're going to root a device (be it a G2 or anything else), read and reread the how-to thread. And when you're done, read it again. See if there's a YouTube video to follow along to (for the G2 there are a couple good ones). Take your time, follow the directions exactly as they are written and you should be fine.

Regarding GPS, I use it often and never once have I had an issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
From reading on these forums, its very easy to brick the G2... Rooting is not the issue but I think the custom recoveries are causing a lot of bricks....

GPS has been mostly ok for me to be honest... Don't see why so many people are complaining...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
Could someone point me to a thread where somebody actually hard bricked his g2? I haven't seen one yet.

I get a gps fix within seconds btw.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZhenWan:
I am completely new when it has comes to Android, but with the LG as my first phone that has been flashed with a cyanogen I found it pretty difficult to brick the phone, which I believe is a very good thing. I initially had the fears of jumping out of the stock ROM, but I haven't regret since ^_^
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redstorm64:
I've had my G2 for almost 2 months now and haven't had any gps issues yet. My coworker also got one about the same time and hasn't had any gps issues either.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkow19:
He caught me at the perfect time. I restored back to stock several times, and keep getting nowhere. See my thread here:

Also, GPS is terrible. Up to now GPS was my only major complaint with this phone. Now I just hope I can bring it back to life!

So wait, what does this do? Does it let you watch TV on your phone or what?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mike_ekim:
Yes. It's sort of like putting a cable card in a computer so you can watch TV on that computer, except it puts the cable card on the network so multiple devices can share it. DLNA-enabled blu-ray players and TVs can stream from it, and PS3 and XBox.

It will allow me to use a PC as a DVR, and my daughter will be able to use her laptop as a DVR, and we can all watch TV on our phones/tablets.

I believe that with DLNA-enabled devices you can get 'premium' content like HBO. The L9 has DLNA but the app I'm using does not, so I can't watch HBO on the L9 with this app.

Hi all,

I just updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.1. After exchanging a few emails with a friend of mine, I noticed that gmail wasn't displaying emojis properly. When composing a message, I can input emoji no problem and they appear fine but after I send the email, all the recipient and I can see is something like this:

&#xxxxxx;

where xxxxxx is some kind of emoji number. Downgrading gmail, downgrading google keyboard or using the iWinn emoji keyboard gave me the same result. Downgrading to 4.4 fixed the problem. I'd much rather stay on 4.4.1 because of the camera improvements. Has anyone else come across this problem? Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstierman:
I'm having this problem, too, on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013 version) since the 4.4.2 update. I can read other people's emoji (from iPhone) but can't send. When I look in my sent box, the emoji are broken there (#&xxxxxx), too.

edit: appeard to be still working in my twitter app, but not the gmail app

update:

It appears that certain emoji work and others do not, for example I tried a random set of 10-ish:

??♋♉????⛪?

Those two in the middle are the working ones.

The "source" (go into gmail website and hit "original message" on the email) looks like the following:

??=E2=99=8B=E2=99=89????=E2=

=9B=AA?

Going to try to downgrade to 4.4 probably, if this doesn't get fixed somehow... or try CM.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
Basically, I read in one of these threads (can't remember which now) that the higher speed cup is only used in gaming, and for everything else the 1.3 cup is used.

Now this sounded odd to me, as I know my original note 10.1 ramped up to full speed during various normal tasks (it was rooted so I could see these things lol).

Unfortunately I haven't rooted this one yet, I'm waiting for the knox issue to get resolved (or for a good rom to appear) so I can't look for myself, so I thought I'd ask you nice people...

When does the cpu speed ramp up to the full 1.9?

Is it only in games, or does it do it for browsing, gallery, photos, sketchbook pro, etc.

Not all apps require the extra power, but for some it's helpful. I was just curious :) I'm sure other are Too!

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Blackwolf10:
the octa is never used all together basically but the high4 cores would go up to 1.9ghz when on a heavy task
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
Oh sorry, I know it's really two separate quad-cores, and only one of them is used at any one time...

I just meant at what point does the 1.9 cpu kick in. Is it only in games, or does it do it for other tasks too
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Blackwolf10:
it is mainly for console class games but maybe sometimes the phone will use it for other stuff too

You don't need root to monitor cpu
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Houndx:
It is, but it's not confirmed to be coming. When you buy a Samsung product don't expect much in the way of updates. You'll get a few firmware updates and the next version of Android. If you're looking for much more than that then you're risking very serious disappointment.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
Well no, but if the update is released for the Exynos cpu, some clever sod is bound to figure out how to implement it onto the Note in a custom ROM kind of way.

That would definitely be worth rooting for haha.

And I thought I needed root to do anything with the CPU. I will have to look to see if I can find a live monitor app or something, thanks.

Edit:

I found an app which does that, in a nice little overlay. Seems that the cpu peaks up to 1900mhz fairly frequently, when loading up certain things etc. So its not just a gaming thing. Seems to work quite well.

No, it does not use all 8 cores simultaneously. The older versions of the Exynos big.LITTLE chips do not have the capability at all. The newer version, including the one in the 10.1 2014, has the hardware in place to do it, but it is not turned on in the kernel.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinydynamite00:
Hi, So twice today I've tried flashing CM-11 on my G2 d801 variant. I tried the nightly first and then the stable version and neither of the zips would make the initial pass through recovery. Already had it in mind that it had something to do with outdated binary, as I was using, as is recommended in the OP, TWRP to flash.

This just turned out to be confirmed in the Unofficial CM-11 thread, to which I am unable to post. Vertigo offered up the updated binary for download, I snagged it and went on to switch out the compressed binary with the update.

My question is whether there is a certain compression rate I should use when zipping the ROM again or whether standard compression (on Android) is well enough. I'd appreciate any help the community might offer. I've simply never disassembled a ROM before with the intent of ever using it again.

Thanks in advance,

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccs2ds:
I was recently using the KFU on a First Gen Kindle when Windows stops recognizing and it immediately stops at the Kindle Fire logo. The only way I could revert to normal mode was getting the PC to recognize it by doing the shorting method.

My problem is exactly like this one from a previous user:

"Ok I know tons of people think they have bricked their device, but usually it is just a soft brick....hopefully I am the same. I tried to root my kindle fire using KFU. Something happened, it didn't work. Now it just stays on the boot screen. In windows it isn't recognized, I have read the forums and know to reinstall the drivers, but I can't because Windows recognizes it as an unknown device, (code 43), so they won't install. I have tried using the unbrick utility, but it doesn't work since windows isn't recognizing the device. I have a mac too that won't recognize it, at least I don't think it does. Maybe there is a way to get the drivers installed I am missing, but I tried following all of the tutorials here, and its not wokring. Is it possible that I can still fix it, or is it done. Thanks for any help."

Now I want your opinions on what to do. The top touch screen is not recognizing and is NOT like before, touch screen is hardly reading. I don't know if this is software, but another thing is after turning it on each time the Kindle Fire Logo flashes 1once, goes black for about 3 seconds and flashes again before booting up.

Anybody have any suggestions.
