[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semettler:
For starters, I apologize if any of this sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about because frankly, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Recently (this Christmas) my mother got me a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I decided to follow a guide from a youtube user and put a second bootloader (twrp) and CM 10.1 on my Fire, only to find that half of the apps didn't work. I couldn't watch youtube videos or netflix, or even read books through the kindle app.

This made me angry because here I am freaking out trying to get my Kindle back to factory defaults so I can enjoy it again.

I've looked at countless guides on how to do this, but none were clear and all of them required big downloads that I'm not even sure would work.

Basically, I wiped the CM android os with TWRP, and I'm at the TWRP screen.

I downloaded the 8.4.6 amazon kindle update from the Amazon website and adb pushed it onto my sdcard. This didn't work; the Amazon update file I downloaded was a .bin, so I converted it to a .zip which apparently made my Kindle unable to open it and update.

I am able to get my Kindle into fastboot mode, but I have no clue where to go after this. Can someone please help? I just want my Kindle back the way it was.

Thanks

Use kindle fire first aid to restore it, though I have no idea what you are talking about with cm 10.1, sounds like you downloaded the wrong gapps because the stuff you mentioned works fine on cm 10.1 for me, you could also try cm 11 since it's newer.

You can't push an Amazon OS onto TWRP to flash it. It don't work like that.

Hi all

I have a huawei acsend p1 u9200 mobile phone

it comes our country with a gsm operator and it is default locked

i unlocked it and using custom roms...

but i have one problem.

the gsm operator located their own splash logo (boot logo) in the device.

i looked phone's fstab and saw that splash partition is /dev/block/mmcblk0p16

how can i modify it?

i used

fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash splash logo.bin

etc

i prepaired the logo with gimp as bmp

first i tried nbimg's convert tool for linux

after i tried to save as bmp 24 bit and ffmpeg to convert

it doesnt matter if anyone gives me another logo with resolution 540x960

i dont want to see gsm operator logo

it can be android logo or google logo

thanks.

Hello,

I have an Xperia Z1 - C6906 with a locked bootloader from Bell Mobility in Canada, I am wondering if there is any ROMs that support this model, and if so is there any caveats that I need to be award of for this model when flashing something that isn't an officially released version.

Regards
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
I'm using Monxdified 4.2.2 version (not 4.3) on my Bell 6906, no problem at all. Just follow the instructions.

Instruction on how to flash this ROM

monXdifedZ-Honami-257_v02-00-07.zip
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magwart:
I keep seeing you need to flash the firmware and kernel for your model, that isn't separate/done after flash - you just flash with the official firmware and then exclude it in flashtool?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metal_god69:
I don't think its really worth it in my mind. If flashing custom roms, especially kernals is something you want sell your locked z1 c6906 and opt for one directly from Sony.ca which will be fully unlocked. If we can ever get root on locked bl and 4.3 then you can just "trim off the fat" apps with titanium and make it alot lighter running. I'm in the same boat as you with a 6906 from Bell. Was totally unaware of the locked bootloader lockdown before I bought it and I am suffering the consequence now. 6906's are still going for anywhere from $500-550 locally here so I think I am going to put it up for sale.

Anyways, just thought id share my thoughts as I'm in the same situation as you.

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
Yeah, what I did was downloaded .257 Canadian version and after I flashed monxified ROM in recovery I flashed Kernel and Baseband of canadian .257 version in flashtool.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magwart:
I am currently on .290 unbranded (I flashed it previously), I don't have the option right now of selling or changing phones so I am stuck with the locked boot loader at the moment. I am wanting to flash Pure Stock so I can get rid of all the bloat.

However the instructions state that I need to be on .534 to get root and install recovery. A couple questions - a.) the only 906 version of .534 is branded Rogers - would this cause any issue with my Bell phone. b.) as I am on .290 with a locked boot loader is there any issue with flashing to an older version?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruinkhan:
Nope no issues with Rogers .537 at all. I've been flashing that ftf all the time. However, I would suggest staying away from .290 ROMs for now, because my first Xperia Z1 got bricked badly with ihackers 2.0 (.290) ROM. I had to buy a new one until this gets fixed (cant stay without a phone). I'm enjoying .257 ROM (with full root access) at the moment and not looking to jump into Rooted .290 unless I'm %100 it wont brick my device again.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s1eelra1:
So I've been playing around the last week or so with my 6906, and a 6806....

I've been able to root and install the recovery easy enough on a the generic .534 build that is in the FTF thread. I believe it's the rogers one... So it does seem to pull some of the bell crap out... Putting the twrp backup data back on, gives me some of the apps back, but it doesn't seem quite as bad. At least you can then uninstall it if you don't want it. <G>

However, I've been trying to get up to the .290 builds that Nut has been providing. However, on every attempt I've been getting to a soft brick, when I use the flashtool to put the Kernel and baseband on.... Reflashing the .534 build at that point, gets me up and running again without any issue.

There is a generic 290, and new 132 build for the canadian 6906 that have been posted, but no root.... If you want stock and no mods.....

I haven't tried anything else at this point, since I'm still getting my feet wet.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbs204:
Hey guys I hate to resurrect this thread but can you point me in the right direction on finding a stock Bell FTF. Even any old ones that I can upgrade to after. I tried a generic CANADA one but for some reason its still show as a US after a flashtool. I need to go back to stock to send my 9606 in for warranty and dont want them to blame the firmware for hardware issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just unlocked and got s-off with rumrunner and I installed twrp. When I go in to mount the phone my computer recognizes that it's there but when I click on it it says please insert a disk. And when I try to adb sideload a rom it fails saying "E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/data.... So I can't sideload or put a rom on my phone because I can't mount it. I also tried to plug in a otg cable but it won't recognize that its there.
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
Sounds like you're using outdated adb/sdk tools. Older versions do not support adb sideload. Try updating.

What happens if you put the device into recovery and plug it in to the PC and then run "adb devices" ? (without doing anything in the recovery)

Just put it in recovery and connect it to the pc and run that command and see what you get.

on my I9300 i have tried Slimbean 4.3 stable and SlimKat 4.4 weeklys now and i always had the problem that I can't switch back to speaker or earpiece if device is paired to a bluetooth headset or bluetooth speaker in my car.

This problem is also described in a posting in cyanogenmod forum. I cant post links but just search for "[10.1.3] Can't Switch Back To Speaker Or Headset Earpiece If ..." on google.

Until now I have found no solution. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?

It works perfectly with stock ROM but I dont want to change back...

Hey, new member on here but I have been lurking a while. Just rooted my Mega 6.3 and have also installed SetCPU for Root Users. What speed is safest? I have maxed it out on both sliders but not really sure if its OK!

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Ya man that's no problem...i run my mega the same way, as I find its much faster and smoother at max clock on performance governor. Just so you know, this is not over clocking, since your on stock kernel you cannot actually over clock a stock kernel..i am putting together a custom kernel that you can over clock, I'm just finding the sweet spot, and will be releasing it soon. Prolly clocked around 1.9 or 1.85 ish. So far in my testing it had the mega running extremely fast.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Wouldn't having your CPU running full steam be a problem ...heat issues and instability .. The min shouldn't be the same as maximum... And performance gov does what exactly.

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

I'm a under clock

*MEGA 4.4.2*GS2 4.4.2*2SHAYNEZ*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No...not at all...In fact the note 3 comes stock with its cpu at max clock and min clock with an on demand governor, so anytime your doing anything really your running max clock. The mega runs much much cooler than the note 3 so there is no issue, not to mention these are only the max recommended clock speed by manufacturer, which are typically under estimated between 25 and 50%.

The only real factor that could cause any problem at all is heat. If your device were to overheat to some extreme then you could have a problem but other than heat it's perfectly safe, and very effective for performance increase. Not to mention there are typically 3 protocols built in to safe your device from any harm from overheating, a screen dim, reboot, and shut down. And I'm only talking about setcpu on stock setting it at max clock for stock kernel...then we get into over clocking which if you under clock will know, the only downside to over clock is diminished battery life but it's a trade off for performance. But to be honest I only lose about 45 mins on my note 3 at max clock of 2.3 ghz and about 30 mins screen on time with my mega at max 1.7 ghz. But I have several devices the i either carry or develop for and each of them I run performance gov and max clock speed, and have never once had a problem doing this on stock kernel and always see major improvement in speed. For instance my i9205 megas probably saw the biggest speed and smoothness boost from this setup of all my other phones and note tablets. Your mega will run nearly identical to a note 3 fir transition animations and browser loading by sticking at max clock. And I still get 4.5 to 5 hours on screen time a day minimum.

Lastly, governors...In a very basic definition (I suggest you google is schedulers and kernel cpu govs) are basically the controller commands for the cpu and gpu. On all of my devices I run max clock speed for both min and max set to the highest, with performance governor. The performance gov literally just keeps the cpu at max throttle vs varying the clock speed. The scheduler (like cf, deadline ect) controls the flash memory aand the optimal io setting varies by device...of my devices each have different in schedulers that they run best on, just test your device with each.

Now it gets tricky as stock usually has 3 io schedulers and about 6 to 10 governors. Custom kernels on the other hand will add all kinds of customized govs and io controllers. Just google this if interested, will make a world of difference for the performance on your device.

Mega
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Oh I know been over and underclocking and io scheduling and governing for a long time I just never used performance because I've seen problems with it in the past for others. I was just curious of what you knew about performance gov. And to see if I could get a different perspective from you which I did so thanx for that. With my under clocking it seems I still get great performance and battery life, probably isn't even really that much better but I will consider trying out some overclocking on the mega.Overclocking was always good to me with my other devices.Just started under clocking for some reason lol cheerz:beer:

No I'm afraid not...Unfortunately since your mega cdma...it will have different modem, kernel, and firmware than the international i9205 which I'm developing a kernel for. You'll have to wait and see if any development happens for the us cellular mega.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Shayne...what issues have you heard of running performance gov? There's actually a bit of evidence and school of thought that running at optimal performance is better for the hardware as it more efficiently performs tasks in a shorter period of time. Plus the fact that my devices all run cooler once the initial burst happens...typically around 8 degrees lower than when using a fluctuating gov. If you research on xda performance gov you'll see plenty of info. But the difference in performance is actually quite a lot to be honest. This is the same effect that intel use when implementing turbo over clocking...it performs said function faster allowing for regulation of temp and other parameters quicker than varying the clock to try and run the same task which means more strain on the cpu and higher temps. While it may sound and bit backwards at first once you run it at see what I'm talking about it makes much more sense. But on stock kernel unless you have and faulty device there is absolutely no issue or danger whatsoever...your our more than likely referring to running max over clock on a custom kernel that exceeds the threshold for a given hardware and causes overheating and in turn some other issues.

Mega

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

Tbh you really don't even need to do this, as without a baseline for what is standard or what is nominal for the mega and the krait 400 architecture you'll see a number with zero context. A better number to follow is your battery temp which is displayed in set cpu under info amd batter stats...that will run while at max clock around 87 degrees which is extremely cool. Highest I've ever seem mine is 91...whereas my note 3 without max clock is 95 lol. Max clock on the mega is extremely safe especially on stock kernel. Even my custom kernel I'm test running at 1.9 ghz only hits 94 degrees. Just fyi

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] eldubberyew:
I am new to all of this so I am just starting out. All I have done is root the phone with Odin and started messing with the cpu speeds.

How can I take the processor beyond the 1.7ghz? What level is safe etc?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
You can't take it past 1.7 ghz...at least not until I release my custom kernel. As of yet there are no custom kernels for the mega. But to be honest if you set it up how I told you...Max clock and performance Gov with cfq setting for the io the mega will be extremely fast and smooth. As for safe over clock levels...I'm currently testing my kernel on my mega as we speak and it's running 1.92 ghz but I have to do more testing before the alpha release.

We don't have locked bootloader on i9205, but have the knox bootloader on the latest ml2 update. Which means you can only flash roms with that bootloader... but you can restore older backups no problem. And I have developed a way to restore stock rooted from your backups.

don't take this the wrong way, but i highly suggest you google kernel, bootloader, root, ect if your gonna be tinkering with your device so you get a better understanding of what's what and what's going on when you make changes to your mega.

You don't have to delete titanium Backup, but you absolutely must use cwm or twrp and make a backup before you do anything to your mega. Our else you'll be screwed. I've got some files to restore stock rooted I've developed, but it's not a substitution for your own backup...cwm is literally a snapshot of your firmware, apps, even system settings... If literally restores your mega exactly how it was when you did the backup.
