sslazio 1900;48815607]Hi guys! Fist of all: Merry XMas to everyone ;)

I'm now posting here for the first time. My employer gave me a KFHD 7 for xmas, and now i'm looking to turn this device's os into a good Android version (just found Pacman :D )

The problem is that, obviously, now my device has Amazon OS v7.4.6.

Following this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909) to get my device ready to be flashed, i read that is proper to start with a device with v7.2.3.

Ok... i get back and found this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

Just before to buy a factory cable on ebay to downgrade my KFHD, i want to ask you about some thoughts i have:

To downgrade to 7.2.3, do i need a rooted device? And how can i root my KFHD 7.4.6?

Reading first guide, seems not too hard to get Android on my KFHD, i learned that the process is:

Install on my PC Android SDK, in order to be able to run fastboot & ADB commands

Root the device

Install Bootloader & TWRP

Flash choosen rom

Basically yes. Make sure you set the paths for fastboot and ADB in your environment.

Ouf of a soft brick yes. Hard brick is unrecoverable at the time.

A ROM does not become official until the dev deems it very stable. Most 4.3 ROM's are very stable.

I can't "suggest a ROM" but I can say I was happy using Cyanogenmod and Paranoid Android. There are many great ROM's though. Read through the topics before you decide and make sure that the ROM you are about to choose is working well.

Thanks a lot, i'm new in this world, i would like to use my KF with a more flexible and usefull OS than the Amazon's one, but i'm a bit confused reading all the guides here :D

Merry Christmas to you too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaZUser.:
I'm using a rooted 4.2.2 Xperia Z, I've tried all of the "auto airplane mode" apps on the Google play store such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be1ay.flymode&hl=en , but none of them seem to work and I'm not sure why. They're all for Android 4.2, my phone is rooted I've tried multiple apps and it doesn't seem to turn on airplane mode during certain times.

I'm trying to do this to save battery since I'm not using my phone when I'm asleep...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnkill_dxb:
i have 2 pcs bionic... before, they are both 2.3.4, the first one I tried Radiocomm method and it works, with signal on gsm without Data, and also Force Close error when u open network settings..but have signal and can call and send msg..

i read something that if u upate to Jellybean, all band will work no need radiocomm...thats why i update to 4.1.2...

but i\now not working gsm, and can dongrade to GB...

anybody can help me? I am in Philippines...thats why i need it to work in GSM!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] uhm:
Did you try the Radiocomm method on Jellybean? It should work based on others' posts in that Bionic on Tmobile thread here on xda.

What is the frequency band your carrier is using? 900/1800 or 850/1900mhz GSM? I'm trying to make it work on 900/1800 band but it's not working for me. I'm on ICS.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KSilvas82:
Where can I find the Radiocomm method for Jellybean for here in the U.S.? I have rooted using Easy root method w/Linux emulator, Installed Safestrap to install Patch which supposedly unlocks GSM and I followed the radiocomm edits found here: http :// w ww. internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android I also did *#*#4635#*#* and it was set to CDMA auto (prl), when I change to CDMA preferred it force closes. Phone says no sim even though active ATT/straight talk sim is in. Thanks for any help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] uhm:
Seems like builprop edits haven't been done otherwise in the phoneinfo, you should have seen a mode automatically selected that allows GSM, e.g. WCDMA preferred, GSM Auto(prl) etc. The factory reset is required after the builprop edits.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KSilvas82:
got it, thanks a lot for the help! Running At&t Straight talk. Calling/Texting works, I'm assuming I don't have data though as I don't see any 3G or other data indicators in the status bar. Is there something else that needs to be done to get data going?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnkill_dxb:
my bionic is now working on GSM in philippines using this metohd:

My only problem is VERY VERY Low Signal
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KSilvas82:
I'm in the U.S. but am also experiencing very low signal. I have 3G going but can't get reception to hold more than one bar if anything. Seems to be the common story with this hack. I'll stay posted to check for any radiocomm edits/work arounds for signal improvement

***UPDATE*** I left my house for the first time today since getting my phone going on GSM w/AT&T StraightTalk and I had 4 bars of reception and full 3g downloads and full messaging capabilities. I'm satisfied with the results and I think any difference in signal strength may come from having been spoiled on Verizon's coverage, even though I never got good reception at my house with verizon either so I guess I can't expect more from someone else.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] uhm:
Good to hear that it's working for you. What is the frequency band your carrier is using? 900/1800 or 850/1900mhz GSM?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnkill_dxb:
900/1800mhz is the freq here in philippines

Anyone having probs lately with HTC Dev Unlock? Wife's phone (took Dec. 18 OTA).

I (twice) gave the 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token' response and no e-mail.

Weird.

??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DJMaj07:
I would check to see which email you used to register your account with HTCDev; they will send the file to that email address.

I used their service to unlock my phone a few days ago, and the email came almost instantaneously.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Heck yea -- have the right e-mail address -- everything goes there and it's not going to SPAM, either (all whitelisted). I'm trying to figure out if the code unlock operation is down or for whatever reason, even though accepting the code (gave 'em two since I ran get_identifier_token twice) they're not giving out unlocks for the moment. Hopefully not the latter.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Well, finally got it -- but a *very* long wait. I googled around, so some other folks waiting all day sometimes, so apparently ok.

Delete the thread if you want, Moderator -- unless it's useful for other impatient folks who have their wife breathing down their necks looking to get out of the Sprint choke-hold on their phones.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dove0rz:
The boot logo which is a small partition, in mmcblk0p29 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p29)

We can modify this if you have unlocked your bootloader.

I wrote bootlogo_extract.exe / bootlogo_merge.exe to help things done in a more easy way.

1. backup your bootlogo

Backup your logo.bin by one of the following command, or use openrecovery (Thanks Skrilax_CZ)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p29 of=/sdcard/logo.bin.original
or
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin.original

Remember to adb pull out to your PC.

2. Extract image files

There are 2 bmp files in logo.bin, one for locked bootloader, one for unlocked bootloader.

Use the following command to extract, you will get two 540x540 bmp files, which can be directly open by double click.

C:\XT897 Photon Q 4G LTE\logo> [B]bootlogo_extract.exe logo.bin.original[/B]
bootlogo_extract for XT897, written by dove.

# Name start size
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. logo_boot 512 874800
2. logo_unlocked 875520 874800

extracting 1.logo_boot.bmp
extracting 2.logo_unlocked.bmp
done.

3. Edit or replace bmp files if you want

Use tools like photoshop or GIMP or ...

4. Merge 2 bmp files into logo.bin

Make sure you have 2 bmp files FLIPPED, 24 bit depth, BMP format, 540x540 !!

My tool will create a logo.bin automatically.

bootlogo_merge.exe locked.bmp unlocked.bmp

5. Flash back

Reboot to bootloader, then use moto-fastboot.exe to flash

moto-fastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin

Enjoy modifying you boot logo !!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
Thank you for programming such an easy tool... But when trying to merge the BMPs I made, the command "bootlogo_merge.exe locked.bmp unlocked.bmp" doesn't produce a logo.bin in the folder. I have made sure that the file names and locations are correct, I've given administrator permissions to bootlogo_merge.exe, and I've even searched the whole hard disk for that logo.bin, but no success. Please look into this and tell me what have I done wrong, thanks :)

EDIT: Never mind, the BMPs saved by Photoshop is 2 bytes bigger. Re-saved using GIMP and everything's brilliant!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dove0rz:
Photoshop will add 2 more bytes at the end of file, just delete them.

BTW, is there anyone who can share more nice boot logos ?? :):):)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:
I'll share the simple one I just made for myself (it's a bootlogo, it doesn't have to be fanciful): LINK

Totally inspired by the stock screen protection film on Moto G, as seen here:

This is how the boot logo looks on my own Photon Q:

great , thanks for sharing

Anyway, here you go in the attachment. Unzip and you get the .bin file for flashing.

Note that this is for qHD screens only - if you have an Atrix HD or RAZR HD, tell me and I'll upload the 720p one.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ashtreylil:
Thanks I have the multicolor one that looks similar but I like this better since my photon is black and white themed
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Logos Ascetic:
Wheres the logo.bin output?

"Never mind, the BMPs saved by Photoshop is 2 bytes bigger. Re-saved using GIMP"

Why does it matter if they are 2 bytes larger? How did you save them in GIMP differently?

Just delete what?

Ive tried editing/saving the BMP's in both gimp and photoshop. Heres what I get:

C:\photon>bootlogo_extract.exe logo.bin.original

bootlogo_extract for XT897, written by dove.

# Name start size

1. logo_boot 512 874800

done.

C:\photon>bootlogo_merge.exe locked.bmp unlocked.bmp

why didn't the program output a logo.bin?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] AndyYan:

Same Issue

If I install TWRP 2.6.1.0 on my One S and follow the instructions on this forum to install the sdcard is full size. If I move to 2.6.3 or try to go to the latest CWM I get the 48mb issue. I'm keen to install Beanstalk but I think the rom install needs features in the latest TWRP so will not install.

Any idea how I can get the latest recovery software to work on the One S without the storage problem ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
So, I got an update from Paranoid OTA app today, saying there's an update and that my ROM is outdated. So I decided to download it, since I wanted to change my ROM anyway and I wanted to check whats new. After the file has been downloaded I downloaded the gapps too and decided to flash. While in recovery I did the usual steps and the ROM wouldn't flash, giving me an error.

First the Warning label appears on the top of the Andy's head.

Warning: No file_contexts

And I get that Android logo with an exclamation mark. And it says that the installation is aborted. And after that when I try to reboot it says,

So I pick Yes, to fix it. And it reboots into recovery again.

I tried several times and always the same,

After that I gave up and decided to just reboot my phone and boot it up. Removed the battery, cause even after "fixing" the permissions it still only reboots the recovery, and powered my device back on and again it booted straight into the recovery.

I figured maybe my CWM is a bit outdated so I need to update it. I have v6.0.1.0 so I downloaded the latest one available, v6.0.4.3.

I downloaded a new ROM and gapps for it, but I can't transfer it to my phone and I need to do it trough fastboot, right ? As well I wanted to flash new recovery I downloaded.

So I open up cmd, put my phone into fastboot and do

fastboot devices

which brings up nothing at all.

Has this ever happened to any of you and how do I fix this ?

I don't think its about faulty drivers, since this is not the first time I'm messing with my phone, but it's the first time something like this happened, never had any problems.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaijura:
1. Make sure you have proper drivers installed if this is your first time using the USB cable with your Galaxy Nexus. (UND). If you used ADB without problems then skip this step.

2. You can use ADB sideload instead of usb mounting, as the later does not always work. To use ADB sideload, select it in recovery for choosing a installation, use the command prompt or terminal and go to the directory of your downloaded ROM, type adb sideload name of the rom here.zip.

Boot your phone to fastboot, (volume + - and power) with USB connected to phone and command prompt loaded to adb/fastboot folder:

fastboot flash recovery nameofcwm6.0.4.3file.img

Should most likely work for you after that, you can try flashing the zip again thru sideload.

As for your issue, some warnings are normal in later 4.4 roms. As long as you have updated to latest CWM, I believe current version is 6.0.4.3 then you are fine for now.

Fastboot commands only work in bootloader mode - the screen where you see the android and specifics about your Gnex revision/software below.

ADB commands work in recovery - CWM, TWRP, or stock etc.

If you have a backup of your PA 3.99, you could also restore it. PA 3.99 (android 4.3) is the last stable version, right now they are rolling out 4.0 Beta for KitKat (android 4.4.2) and there may be issues as you had experienced. If you want stability, just restore a 3.99 backup or install it fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotic:
You truly are something mate.

Great reply. Yeah, it was about my drivers. Installed the new ones, and will push CWM to my phone now.

If I get some problems I'll report back.

Hey, I've just installed the ViperDNA rom and tought I would try it out. I've installed everything correctly with TWRP and Aroma showed me everything was installed fine.

Now I am booting my phone and I've noticed it was stuck for over 7 minutes in splash screen, so I tought okay I will do a hard-reset. I've pressed over the home button for a minute and the it didn't restart, the panel was flashing but it didn't restart. I've tried to click on other buttons and all but it didn't work, I've connected it to the PC and tried to find it with ADB and it showed the device is not connected. The battery is full and it's in the splash screen still, how could I possibly restart the phone?

- ADB dosen't find the phone

- Tried to check if suddenly the phone is stuck in fastboot (sometimes happend with my old phones, unknown how)

- Tried to press the home button for over 1 minute to restart when it should be 10 seconds.

Anyone knows how to do something? I am hoping my battery will run out somehow like this, but untill then. I need some suggestions.
