[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaridShenassa:
Hi all,

I need some guidance from the experts here. I've read a ton of stuff and tried various things but no lock. I have kindle with FFF 1.4a and TWRP setup. Somehow the SD drive volume is corrupted so I can't load any image (original kindle or twa) to update it. I can't get into adb shell so I can't fix the bad sd volume. however I can get into the bootloader using the usb port and run fastboot. I just need to know how to reflash everything from scratch in the fastboot to get the original kindle, or flash updated TWRP and a good rom.

I have read everywhere but can't see what commands to issue in fastboot to wipe/load the image. I also tried the unbrick utility but no luck. The simple thing I would think would be to fastboot load the full amazon original rom, overwrite everything and then stat over with KFU. I just don't know if I need to replace the boot, the loader, the recovery part, or all of it, and how. If the experts here can give me some guidance and what commands to issue, I would be greatful.

Thanks all

Moderators, please shift thread???
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
You can run fastboot commands to enter the newest version of TWRP without flashing it (or use fastboot commands to flash the newest TWRP..

All you need is the TWRP img file (e.g. TWRP_2.6.3.1_otter.img)

Enter the fastboot commands like this:

To boot into TWRP:

fastboot boot recovery path/to/TWRP.img

Replace path/to/TWRP.img with the file path of the recovery img (e.g. c:/TWRP/TWRP.img)

To flash TWRP from fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery path/to/TWRP.img

Replace path/to the same way as above

Hope this helps.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaridShenassa:
First, sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I didn't realize there was a Q&A section, and can't seem to delete or move the post myself.

SwoRNLeaDejZ, thanks for the reply. I will try that. it will let me update TWRP, but how do I re-flash a whole new ROM with it. ex: if I have the amazon original ROM img which has boot and other sections in it, how do I flash that to overwrite everything? or if i have the twa or some other CM11 image, how can I flash that in with fastboot and basically wipe/replace the boot/system/data/sd card partitions (where the SD card part seems corrupt).

Thanks again
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaridShenassa:
Thanks for the help.

fastboot installing the latest twrp recovery seems to have allowed me to wipe the sd card volume and properly recreate it, so then I can get into adb and push the updated roms. Thanks for everyone's help and sorry to post in the wrong section.

[Sony Xperia L] AlvinZahran98:
Actually I can't help you since I even not rooted my phone yet, but if you want your phone to be back, you can do repair your software via pc companion or repair via sony update service.. But you will lose your root...

Please hit thanks button if I helped you...!
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
-unlocked bootloader = he cant use official method, he can only use flashtool to rescue phone
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
Correct me if I'm wrong but won't he be able to relock his bootloader via flash tool so then he can use pc companion to repair the android OS on his phone?

Well as long as he can get into flash mode?
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
yes he can, but he cant flash software using seus or ppc while bl is unlocked, but if he can enter flashmode he can flash ftf file so it will be just the same as he didt it with pcc or seus. but like he said, he cant enter it, it may be that he is missing some drivers. i dont rly believe its possible to hardbrick this phone. its not like the old xperias. and the only way to brick the old ones was unlocking bl when u cant do that
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
He can relock the bootloader only if he has made a DRM keys backup, no other ways.In flashtool is no option to lock bootloader, flashtool can only unlock it.OP, if your phone doesn't react if you press power button and flashtool doesn't detect it you have a dead XL. :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
@up he can relock bl using flashtool; no need for drm keys
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
really? Didn't know that, thanks.:D
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
yes really, click for BLU, its the same as u can unlock bl (i did like that) using flashtool. if u have locked bl there will be button "unlock" if u have already unlocked there will be button "relock" thats the way how old xperias like neo v arc s lww etc were unlocked and locked (well one of the methods ^^)
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
@up Didn't know about that metod.I have unlocked my XMP's bootloader using sony official way.

OP can you tell me what is V4a driver? You can always try to sent the phone to repair service.
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i think its viper4 android
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
I have no idea why the phone is dead.Really strange.Phone should boot with no problem, V4a is only a audio effect.
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
Yea, it is Viper4Android (really nice app :D ). I have used it before on my WT19i with no problems, it only needs root to work. The brick is most probably due to the unlocked bootloader, maybe the V4A driver caused some sort of issue e.g. the user installed the wrong driver - because it is specific to the processor. Although I have never heard of this problem before.
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
I have unlocked bł and i also use viper4 sndroid. Dont rly thinks so IT caused brick. IT must been something different. Have u tried formating something or the worst thing u could do formating system? Formating system means that u will delete ur all system data and that will cause the brick. I dont rly understand why soke ppl advise doing that bcoz this is dangerous

I have used Viper with fw 0.26 and same thunderzap kernel without any problems. After installing the driver of Viper with the new fw I got bootloops every time I tried to restore my system via cwm. Today I talked with another member who has the same problem.

Now I'm back on 0.26 - Viper and CWM, everything works...

So I think it's Viper that disrupts the bootprocess.

Sorry guys, i was not online...

I'm not a noob/begginer.... I tryied all solution...but with no fastboot = no revive...

I wanted to try QPST, but i don't have the partition eMMCBLD.hex of msm8x30... so i can't rewrite flash partition table....

I apreciate all your help guys...and sorry that i posted in the wrong thread....but i saw lot's of threads as [Q] ... in here...

I will just send it to Sony Service...

Only one thing that is troubling me is that if sony will found out that I ROOTED and UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.... but most probably they will just replace motherboard or it will replace whole phone, hope it does that, and will not found out that i hacked it...if it does my warranty will be killed... :(
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
u will have to be very unlucky to have that, i mean they usually dont check bl and just replace motherboard, and if its like u said that u have no response by connecting to pc i think it will be the same for them, or they will just use box to revive ur phone. its like i said i dont think its hard brick since those phones are very hard to brick them completly, its only possible when u unlock bl while having "not allowed" as result;

GL man hope u will get ur waranty and new phone soon ^^
[Sony Xperia L] dodgedroid:
thanks man. It is a Hard Hard Hard brick, as flash partiotion are gone.... i would revive it and write a guide how to do that, but on entire internet there is not msm8230.hex ( flash partition table) not even a generic one... if it was, i could revive it using Qualcomm Product Support Tool ( QPST)... as my pc detected QUSB DWLD mod from the device... but let's home it will change the mobo... :D....

I just sent it to sony center... so... now i'm waiting for the device to be repaired....

So that been said, ANY MODERATOR can close this thread....

And thanks again to all who wanted to help me out to solve the problem... :)

PS: Next time questions please in the Q&A section please ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerTux:
I think it's normal, this option is called something like "Optimized Backlight". It could be turned off in one of the earlier firmwares, but that caused random reboots so Sony decided to make it an always-on option and removed the entry from the menu.

Optimized Backlight adapts the brightness according to the displayed content, the more crowded and vivid the picture is the brighter the backlight gets.

[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
Anyone Interested?

As our mobile devices are getting more and more locked-up and harder to maintain, it's is surprising that so little effort has been done in vulnerability research of the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP's. After all, these beasts have been roaming around freely in our phone cores for nearly 8 years already. (In all Snapdragons since 2006). But very few, to none of our security experts have had a good look at what's hiding inside.

So what I propose, is that we start an effort to build an Open Source Hexagon Disassembler for public security research of mobile baseband firmware.

The only effort I know of to this date is that made by Jan Willem Hengeveld (itsme), who wrote an IDA module (here) to the best of his abilities. I don't know what is the current status of that today, but the IDA Hexagon module is now hosted at Github HERE by Ralf-Philipp Weinmann (rpw), who reverse engineered parts of the baseband (shown in THIS video) and recently helped expose the insecurity of TOR hidden-services.

I'm not going to answer why this is important at this point, but I'd rather like to know more about what mobile developers in the security field think about this. Highly technical talk is welcome and preferred.

If you have any additional information on how to do this, or what would be required, please chime in!

That is very interesting topic. I think it will be hard to disassemble the modem/baseband DSP, but it will be easier accessing the multimedia DSP which is open for user programming. There is even a linux project running on hexagon cores ;)

I have set Button Lock to power button only.

The ON/OFF switch (top right) keeps changing its function. Sometimes it works as expected and switches the phone off but sometimes it causes the backlight to go off.

I have tried various durations to see if that makes a difference (hold button down for period) but it doesn't seem to. The one thing that seems to switch it back to expected functionality (not always) is a reset.

This is now dodgy for me though as I have lost my stylus and so I reset by unclipping the battery for a mo'

Bottom line is - How can I get my Power Switch to work as expected?

Further to this point, could anyone tell me where I can get a new stylus and also I appear to be missing two very small screws on either side of the phone casing near the top (left hand side is just above the 'Recorder Button', right hand side is opposite the XdaIIs logo).

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Deleted member 5163087:
I had a 32 GB Nexus 7 (flo) and decided to give it to a family member a while back. I recently made the decision to purchase a Nexus 7 for myself again.

When I had the flo for myself,I loved it. Now I'm stuck on whether I should go for the 32 gb flo or get the LTE/deb.

If I do get the deb,I would use it with T-Mobile and take advantage of their 200mb for life offer. I don't plan on paying for a data plan as most of the time I'll be on Wi-Fi. Data will only be used for syncing mail/ news apps when traveling. I like having the data "just in case".

My only concern is whether the battery life will be affected. I am not talking about when using LTE; I'm talking about when on Wi-Fi with radios disabled (airplane mode). Will battery life be the same on the deb version (with wifi enabled but LTE disabled) as it is with the WiFi only version?

What are your opinions on this, and what recommendations would you have for me?

Thanks in advance! :)

I have the deb version. I started with a flo version and returned it after 9 days because the touchscreen was bugging me. I honestly don't see much difference in battery life. But I will say I am only using WiFi so far and have not activated it with service yet.

Tomorrow I will probably be selling my Z and might be migrating to the Z1. I have installed ROM Toolbox Pro and so far I've done only local backups of all my apps. The app has a built-in functionality to upload those backups to Dropbox; however, I haven't done this yet. I was wondering if that's pretty much the only way to make sure I don't lose my data. When I upgraded from an Xperia Play to the Xperia Z, some of my data backups worked while others didn't, especially in the case of some games that needed to download extra data in order to work. This time around I would like to avoid that situation. Any help would be appreciated.

root your xperia z , titanium backup everything and copy to somewhere safe, root the new z1, restore the applications you need only (games and installed app data), not system files and built it app data, this will cause the phone to crash, unless you are sure what you are going to restore,

media files you can copy manually, and use pc companion for saving backup and sms
