I am putting a Straight Talk sims card in. I need to change the APN to use the mobile networking and I am not buying a code so I have to unlock it myself, after all of my trials and tribulations ,when I think I am finally done, I get these error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
Let me rephrase. Is it an at&t straight talk sim or t-mobile straight talk sim? If it is an at&t straight talk sim on an i747 then you should not have to unlock it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bmb195:
Found out the password to my other account, but it is not AT&T or T-Mobile. It is Straight Talk, a service through Wal-Mart.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Straight talk uses att and tmobile towers, and have sim's specific to each network. Last i heard walmart only sells the tmobile ones. In any case none of this has to do with your error in Odin which looks most likely like a bootloader problem.

And for the record, pre4speed, assuming they are trying to flash the correct file its a sprint phone so yes they would need to unlock either way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bmb196:
The phone is an AT&T phone, so this is the wrong ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
That would be a good place to start, googling the file name from your odin log pointed me to a sprint rom.

Its the same one i used to flash 4.1.1 to unlock my phone. Although this is ROM is stock and has root injected (wont affect the sim unlock) it WILL overwrite your recovery, so be prepared to reflash one.

[General Questions and Answers] rexmeeks:
Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.

Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I rooted my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed Darthstalker, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that whenever I shut my screen down when I was on anything other than E or 4G LTE, the phone would lose network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls. In order to get the signal back though, I had to go change the data type, and then change it back to normal.

So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM (Wicked v9.1) which also didn't fix it. So, I flashed the stock firmware and just got rid of the root and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing only Wicked first just to see if maybe Darthstalker corrupted something. But, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.

Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.

Thank you in advance.

Good day, I gonna be quickly.

Device information:

Kindle fire 8.9

System Version: 8.4.6_user_4620220

I'd like to install CM10.2 on my table, so i follow the next tutorial to get root, recovery, 2nd-bootloader, etc: (I can't post links but it's from the webpage wwwDOTrootkindlefireDOTcom, the article is called "How to Root & Convert Kindle Fire HD 8.9 into Pure Android Tablet!"

I follow every step as was there with two exception,

I change:

1. kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img for kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img (from official post of Hashcode)

2. and kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img for kfhd8-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img (from official post of Hashcode)

everything went right, not errors, no mistake, just fine.

when i try to go into recovery by pressing power bottom and then volumen up, it doesn't do anything, i have tried with few seconds, holding it together, nothing works.... the table is working normal, once it turn on show the yellow logo, then the blue logo, and then yellow logo again and star normally the amazon os...

So am i doing something wrong? what should i do?

one more thing, the blue logo doesn't show up quickly as the video i saw, after the yellow logo it fades, turn off, on before stay quiet normaly, and then the yellow one again. is that normal?

Thank you very much.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Its in this order like this: turn on, let go of power button, hold volume down button until you see blue logo, and either continue holding it or let go as you see fit until you see the twrp logo. You can also get into recovery from in the os by using a mobile terminal and running something like

su -c "reboot recovery"

hope this helps!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imangelslv:
Now after i enter the command my kindle won't turn on, it stuck on the yellow logo.

any other solution?... i gonna leave some doubts i have.

what would happen if i re flash everything after the root, i mean reflash the kfhd8-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img, kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin? will i brick my kindle fire? what happen if i re flash a older version of recovery? and boot?

Any suggestion what should i do now?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Um that's kinda odd, maybe twrp didn't flash correctly, even then I wouldn't expect recovery to corrupt itself that badly. Try restoring with kindle fire first aid and give it another shot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imangelslv:
i didn't make a back up of the system (i want it to do it thought twrp) and was the version 8.4.6, can i find any back up of that version here? :p

Edit: I kinda understand how that works now, i don't need the image of system, I'm downloading it to try to restore it, if not I'm going to use this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126. is that a good thing to do?

Thanks for everything, I'm sure my kindle will come back to life later.

Good morning..

I tried eveything yesterday but it won't pass the waiting for devices, with both application, but yesterday night i was able to go to the fastboot, with the fastboot today i can't go to fastboot with fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product it just turn on the kindle to stay stuck in kindle logo.. i might be wrong but i think this might be because i tried to many drivers... i don't know.

What can i do? i need to fix this :S, there's anyway to get into the fastboot? with other computer, if that so what should be the processes clean of installing everything, SDK, drivers, etc.

I knew what was the first problem, the twrp file i flashed was corrupted. i checked it with md5 :S.

help!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere. When you turn the kindle off, open the device manager on your PC, as soon as you plug the device back in and see a jem device with a yellow triangle right click it and hit update drivers and choose the location of my drivers you extracted. Its hard to get the timing right because it will only appear for a few seconds. If you can't get the timing right then try kindle fire first aims driver installer. I believe it has one that will automatically put the drivers in windiow's cache so it will install them automatically. If that still fails then go download a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD and either boot it from a flash drive or CD, and install the fastboot command package from the Ubuntu software center. From their you can type the command and it would automatically work because Linux is awesome like that and doesn't tend to have driver issues like windows. xD

Thanks, I'm going to use Ubuntu, windows will not work.

Once i get into the fastboot throught ubuntu, Do I have to come back to windows and use KF First Aide to restore stock os right?

or can I use ubuntu to do this? if that so, how? KF First Aide works on ubuntu?

Can't I just simple flash the system.img that is in KFHD_SRT_v2.1 folder? (throught ubuntu)

thanks a lot for the patience

I gonna leave these question to try no bother anymore. I'm asking because my KF First Aide yesterday won't pass after this lines..

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

View attachment 2479972

it get stuck there...

and the KFHD_SRT_v2.1 didn't recognize the device even when i was in the fastboot already and my kindle was on the device manager installed as Kindle ----> Android ABD device (what i see is kinda wierd is that the first time i get working in the fastboot if i ask for devices it would should me some kinda of ID XXXXXXXXXXX but yesterday (and I'm sure is because the drivers and maybe something is not right installed even i read could be a conflict with Android SDK,) just show me the device product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04 not the ID.

This all the information i can give.

My kindle software/hardware was or is:

Kindle fire 8.9

My OS is windows 7 64bits

I did install everything JAVA develoment, I did have android SDK already (because I flash a xperia sucefully) and it's on my C:\Program Files\Android SDK but i didn't install it, i just unzip it. here's a capture:

kffa won't work in ubuntu since its a batch file, for some reason it never got converted into a bash script. You can just manually flash those images from ubuntu and it should work just fine, though i'm thinking there might not even be a need to, i mean flash the recovery image and it should work again theoretically, seems to me the idme mode just got stuck to recovery and never got reset because recovery is broken, but thats just my take on it, if that was the case you could change the idme from fastboot but thats kinda complicated because the numbers for idme on the first gen's were in the 4000's and the newer gen ones are single digits and i dont rember which digit is what option so i'd say try to flash recovery from srt and see what happens.

THANKS!!! i did fix my kindle fire.

But i still have a very last question...

once i get back to kindle with KFFA the OS system 8.1.2, I tried again to install the Cyangenmod. and get the stuck in the blue logo.

this time i made sure everything was checked, and everything was fine with MD5, all the files are from Hashcode. here's my question:

The kindle fire is running 8.1.2 and this file is kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img that means i need to find my version? or that will not matter at all?

I get back to stock amazon os, waiting to see if i try again.

THANKS A LOT ONCE AGAIN..

For future references, i did fix my kindle fire by uninstalling every driver once the kindle fire show up for 3 seconds, Use ccleaner, reboot the computer, and the in those 3 seconds i installed the stunts513 drivers, then i go back to stock with KFFA.

RE-EDIT: THANKS, i'm running now cm10.2. Thanks very much, this is solved, can be closet.

2) What does the following terms mean :

B)S/off?

C)Lock, relock, unlock?

3) Is it easy to root?

4) Will the fingerprints sensor keep working after I root it?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffchampmt:
Running (was) a stock rooted N7 v1 on 4.3. Bought a data recovery tool off of the play store to try and recover some photos I had deleted. At some point it rebooted into safe mode, my battery was running low and I shut it off to let it charge. Now it's dead in the water. Stuck in APX mode. I am asking if there is anyway to breathe life back into this tablet.

The tablet does nothing on the screen, period, no matter what you do. When plugged in to a computer it sometimes registers as an unknown device, sometimes APX. None of these get you anywhere. Toolkits on these forums won't recognize the device, installing the android development kit and drivers does nothing, executing commands from the command line is worthless because the device won't register. I do not have any "blobs" and have no clue at this point even what they are or what they could have done for me had I made them.

I've searched this forum and found bits and pieces here and there and wanted to start a thread dealing solely with devices stuck like this and what has or hasn't worked and get others input if warranty service was done and the state your tablet was in when you sent it in (locked/unlocked, rooted etc).

Anyone stuck here will have probably tried the same things as I have but here is is a minor rundown...

1) Every button combo press known to man for short, medium, and extended periods of time.

2) Charging with the Original charger/cable for 1 hour, then button presses then charging for 12 hours.

3) Same as above but with different aftermarket chargers at different amperages.

4) Uninstalling and deleting drivers. Trying different drivers. Getting the Android drivers etc.

5) Trying every toolkit on the forums to no avail because the device won't register.

6) Checking to make sure the battery cables are seated correctly.

7) Screaming and yelling at your new paperweight.

My hope here is that I've missed some important thread about recovery and someone can point me in the right direction. Failing that, if I should get a new mobo or try and send it in for warranty service in the state it's in.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
I don't know what you tried before to revive your tablet and what the tool did to get you into this state, but generally APX mode can be left by pushing the power button *only* for about 10-20 sec, as long as there us enough power within your battery and the hardware / software is working / consistent.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I don't think I've ever seen anyone in here describe a situation where they observed the tablet in bootloader mode without seeing *something* on the screen.

And as you found out through your reading, using "nvflash" on the N7 is only useful at this time for folks that made prior disaster recovery preparations. So, APX mode is of no use to you (at this date 12/2013).

So, until you see something happen on that screen, drivers on a PC are of no value to you anyway.

It is really unfortunate that the N7 doesn't have a physical charging indicator - that makes it difficult to distinguish between a tablet which is truly borked vs. one that refuses to boot simply because the battery isn't charged.

Holding down a specific button combo (iirc Pwr+VolUp) during an attempt to get "something, anything" to happen will put the tab into APX mode, so it isn't particularly diagnostic that you have observed APX mode once or twice.

Really about the only way to know if the battery in a non-responsive N7 is charged or not is to put it in another tablet or measure the open-circuit voltage. (About 4.15v fully charged & about 3.5v discharged)

The reason that I mention this is that there have been a few reports from users in similar straits as you that report something like "I don't know what happened, but I tried it a few days later and all of a sudden the tablet booted up". Almost every one of those reports involved mentions of low battery conditions, just as your narrative does.

I don't know what file recovery program you used, but I suspect that is a red herring . It might have to have root privileges in order to read raw partitions, and might even want the tablet in safe mode to minimize write activity by *other apps* while it does it's forensics, but it certainly isn't going to recover files by writing in raw mode on a mounted, live filesystem - it would do all it's writing through normal kernel syscalls. That's the long way of saying that a low battery is more likely to be the original source of your troubles.

So what to do now? I think the first order of business is to figure out if your battery is charged or failing to take a charge. If it really is well charged, then a warranty return is probably in your future.

If you can't find a second N7 or a voltmeter, then you could try just leaving it on the charger for a couple of days... but that really is just a "grope about in the dark, wing & prayer" kind of strategy.

good luck

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
You are in the same situation I was in - nothing shows up on screen. I got APX drivers to finally install (had to search all over the internet to find them) and that STILL didn't help. I was never able to get it to come back. Nothing ever showed up on the screen.

No combination of button presses helped. I finally gave up and, since my N7 was still under warranty, I RMA'd it back to ASUS. It took about 3 weeks, but I got it back with a new motherboard installed on it.

It was borked and your's sounds the same way as mine. Just either register your N7 on the ASUS website and RMA it that way, or call it in over the phone and RMA it that way. Hopefully, you still have the box your N7 came in because you'll need the serial number.

Others have stated you can get it by opening the back, but that will void your warranty. I do believe you MUST have the serial number, so find the box and get it from there.

Also, you'll definitely lose everything that was there, especially if they replace the motherboard. So hopefully, you backed it up. I backed mine up just before it got borked, so I was lucky.

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffchampmt:
I am wary of trying to do the battery swap. I went and bought a new version after it crashed but I would be voiding both warranties to try the battery swap.

I do have the serial number if I want to try and get service.

I have done some reading about "deep discharge" battery issues and I suspect this may be a part if it but I have tried leaving it plugged in for days and nada.

I don't know if there is a way to "shock" or jump start the charging process and I am going to put the multimeter on it tomorrow and see what I get.

[Moto X Q&A] cannondale0815:

[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
When you say lock do you mean the slider or the PIN/Pattern lock?

If it's PIN/Pattern, there is a setting under security that says "automatically lock" and I think it defaults to something like 5 seconds. You can change it to a much higher number (a few minutes up to 30 or more). Changing this will cause the PIN/Pattern to become active only after the screen has been off for the consecutive number of minutes that you specify.

If it's a slide lock, you could use something like Tasker to enable to lock a set time after the screen goes off. There are also apps that can do it, but I've never used any of them. There's probably plenty, but this is the first one that came up in a Google search. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.delayedlock2&hl=en
[Moto X Q&A] x2h:
I used the pin lock and set it to lock after 10 minutes of screen off. When I use a screen off app to turn off screen, it turns off screen but also locks the phone immediately. But I want the app to only turn off the screen.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
Is there a reason you don't just press the power button? Also, verify that the setting in security for "power button locks instantly" isn't checked. The app may be simulating the power button being pressed, which could lock instantly if that box is ticked.
[Moto X Q&A] deathsled:
Sounds to me like you just need to go to the security settings and turn screen lock to none?

That's how I run my phone. Active Display still runs and will come alive when you pick up the phone making you slide to "unlock", but pressing the power button will also dump you straight to your homescreen.

To get rid of that last "lock" when you disturb the phone you would have to uninstall Active Display.
[Moto X Q&A] x2h:
Turning off screen is easier with app than the physical button. Yes I did not check the "power button locks instantly" but the screen off app still locks the phone right away.

I could do that but then there is no security at all.
