[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
This is weird... So weird. I'm almost at a loss, have you tried flashing a boot.IMG via fastboot corresponding with whatever ROM you flashed? I know I keep saying I think it's this without any real proof but this is kinda bizarre and if no ROM's are working and all you see is the kindkle logo I would assume that the init.RC scripts never got passed the pvrsrvinit or somewhere around that, possibly even before that since adb isn't working when the device is on the logo. You using adb from windows or Linux?

After I read this, I decided to try and restore and everything restored just fine *whew*. What I do know is that when ever this situation has come up (and a few people have stated they had this problem) only a complete factory restore fixed the problem. You're gonna have to break out the fastboot cord.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
The init.RC scripts are still there, no matter how much I wipe in TWRP. I can see them using TWRPs file explorer. I haven't tried flashing the boot.img, I will try that. As for ADB, I'm using it on Windows 8, of all things.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
As I said before, I tried flashing two different sets of images via fastboot. Thanks for the response though. What all did you do in your restore process?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
UPDATE

Okay, I tried re-installing CM10.2, and then flashing the boot.img from it via fastboot. Still no dice.

Is there any hope of recovering from this? It's been longer than a year, so I don't think Amazon will simply switch it out under warranty.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Agh, I was going to ask hashcode about it on the irc earlier and I forgot about it because my friend asked me to fix his pc...

Also remind me to slap this phone's spell check. It took me way longer to write the previous statement than it should have.

Edit: he's still in there but I think he's afk right now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
I just wiped and then restore 4.3 PA nandroid. That was another thin I forgot to mention.

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

I was gonna suggest to flash CM10.2 first and then move up to CM11 because that was the route those with this problem had to go (4.3 then 4.4.) Restoring CM11 right off the bat did not seem to work for some reason. That's why I keep a 4.3 nandroid in TWRP, for just such a case. But I see you tried that.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
That's weird, because I wiped then tried to restore my Kinology nandroid. Am I looking at an irreparable brick, or do I want to look into investing in a new tablet?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Wait until Monday, think you might get more info on a weekday... I have a theory of something that might fix your kindle but it could potentially hard brick it as well so I don't want to explain it yet until it's a last resort.

Edit: just talked to hashcode, he says to "adb pull /sdcard/ ." your sdcard and wipe internal storage, he also said because of kinology kernel not having selinux that if you want to use it you will have to downgrade twrp first and wipe everything again, you might find it easier to do it after flashing cm11 first. So basically back up the sdcard and wipe everything, check off everything including internal storage then push a Rom and flash it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
Checked everything. Wiped it all. Pushed a ROM via ADB. Not working.

I did some exploring with TWRP's built in file explorer. Despite wiping internal storage, I can still see some things I had on there previously. At the root of my device, however, I can also see this:

boot
cache
data
dev
efs
etc
license
proc
recovery
res
root
sbin
sdcard
supersu
sys
system
tmp
vendor
default.prop
file_contevts
fstab.bowser
fstab.goldfish
init
init.rc
property_contexts
seapp contexts
sepolicy
ueventd.bowser.rc
ueventd.goldfish.rc
ueventd.rc

I may be mistaken, but isn't that some of Firefox OS's stuff? The init.rc files you were talking about? It all may just mean nothing. Also, all my SD contents seem to be preserved in "/data/media/". I tried flashing CM11 from there as well. The flash was successful, but at boot... nada.

Still, thank you all for trying :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jserrano56:
Umm sorry I'm a little late to the party... Or funeral(if we cant fix your kindle) I was testing stunt's FireFox OS too and after testing I flashed back to my CM11 back up just fine, why not use the system image restore tool in the development section (minimize error, the tool is 99.9% fool proof) bailed me out multiple times when I thought my kindle was a goner(i know you manually flashed images. But why not try a tool?), and I have a theory... Stunt PMd me instructions on how to get the kindle to pick up/read the SD card I didn't try implementing the code because I'm not that techy but did you try it? What if the solution messed with your internal SD card since Firefox OS and Android Have their differences? Or something went wrong will modifying the commands stunts gave you?

And no...I'm not trying to insult Stunt's work or defame it, nothing is perfect and anything is possible so sorry if my response seems a bit disrespectful to the devs work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I still think this has something to do with selinux... I would know more if you had a serial hookup to the kindles motherboard but I don't even have that, if I had some kernel output it would be useful... Those files you saw that I mentioned aren't Firefox OS specific, they are Linux specific, they are going to always appear there because they are loaded from the initial ram disk in the boot.IMG, since android uses a Linux kernel you have init.rc files and such. Some of those directories are from recovery, the folders that should know appear empty I think are /data, /cache, /system and I can't remember the rest offhand. I will have to ask hashcode about this more tomorrow. I can think of something you might do from fastboot that might fix this but I don't know the specifics and it might wipe the boot loader, which wouldn't necessarily be bad as long as you reflash it before rebooting, but I'd like to avoid my idea because it seems rather risky, anyways I will ask about this tomorrow, so don't look into my concept idea....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
when you said your sdcard contents are preserved, did you mean even after wiping internal storage that the sdcard's contents were still there?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
Correct. Not only are they still there, but I can't seem to add anything to it. Pushing via ADB is successful on the PC end, but if I check the SD card, no change. Also, everything I had before the brick on my SD card is still in "/data/app", if that tells you anything.

Thanks for taking time to they and help me :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
ok um at this point hashcoed is helping me out and i tink i can fix it but it will be easier if i can msg you on skype or in the irc, whatever works best for ya, because this will involve some trial an error over an adb shell... i would try it on my own but it will involve me backing up quite a bit of data and you already have done that so i thought this might be easier than me formatting my own in the process...

Edit: Ok actaully try this first and see what happens, boot into recovery and run this in an adb shell

umount /data
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/userdata

that should actually format the userdata partition and hopefully fix this. though make sure that the unmount worked first, you don't want to try to format a partition while its mounted.

2nd edit:actually i'm a moron, you don't even need to umount /data, just uncheck it in the mount section, you can tell i'm way to used to normal linux... always a good idea to run mount and double check its not on the list but it shouldn't be.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
SUCESS!!!

SUCESS!!! I did what you said and formated the data partition, and I was able to successfully push CM11 to my Kindle. I flashed it, it reported the flash as successful, and I rebooted.. I was greeted by new CM11 boot animation (right now, it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Thank you to everyone who responded to this thread. It's nice to know that there are people nice enough out there to take the time and help someone in need.

Some questions though:

1.) With this SELinux or whatever, can I still switch ROMs as easily as I did before? Or am I now limited to CM11 and such?

2.) What exactly happened? I've never had this happen before, where my /data partition derped out and TWRP wouldn't flash anything.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I'm not to familiar with how selinux works but from we hat I remember I think it was something like this. You had a recovery that I think may have supported selinux but I'm not positive about that. The kinology ROM you had on there had no selinux support in the kernel. My ROM has some selinux support in it since I based it on 4.3, and I have no idea what happened that messed it up after that, all I can tell based on what you had to do to fix it is that the xattributes for selinux were not getting cleared off the partition and for some reason the ROM's that could handle selinux didn't seem to like it either. If you want to run kinology again you may need to downgrade twrp so you can reformat the partition again so it reformats without selinux but I'm a bit confused on this myself, this isn't my best field in computers.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
Then perhaps Fire HD ROM developers should include recovery images to flash with their ROMs as well? Placing a recovery.img into the .zip file along with the KFHD 7" freedom boot.img as well? I'm pretty sure Kinology has this with the Step 1 zip (although I'm not going back to Kinology. It feels too... awkward for my use). I know next to nothing about this, I'm just throwing my thoughts out there.

[General Questions and Answers] Arsene_Lupin:
I'm hoping to get a smartphone (either a Moto-G or Nexus 5) without having to pay for a data plan. Yes, I know there are dozens of topics asking whether or not this can be done; I've read everyone--that's why I'm making this new thread.

There are a lot of different things I see stated on ways to get around AT&T automatic application of expensive data-plans when they detect that you're using a smartphone. Some people have said that all you have to do is turn off 3G Data Use from the menu of the new phone BEFORE inserting a new SIM card, and then insert the old dumphone sim card and everything will work. Some people make vague allusions to changing the IMIE--to which some people claim that's illegal, and others claim AT&T or random clerks at Radio Shack will do this for you upon request. Still others claim that all you need to do is install a "data blocker" program onto the smartphone before switching SIM cards, and it will do the trick.

The basic goal seems to be "hiding" the IMEI number from AT&T.

So, my question: how does AT&T recognize the IMEI number? Will they see it only if the phone is active on their 3G/4G/LTE networks? Or do they see it "through" the normal dumbphone calling networks?

My apologies if this is a stupid question. I really don't know anything about phones are anything about non-PC electronics or software in general. Basically, I'd like a smartphone but refuse to pay an exhorbitant monthly fee for a feature I'd never use (wifi is everywhere I go), and am not in a position where I can switch carriers, and it's like I'm part of a(n evidently sizable) demographic that no one wants to market to.
[General Questions and Answers] tyessen:
If times haven't changed too much from when I tried the same thing 2 years ago, you should just be able to request that all data on your line be blocked. I would try calling them before you switch the SIM to the smartphone and ask for all data to be disabled to your line, then swap the SIM. I would also leave the data turned off on the smartphone for good measure. This is basically how I got around your same issue with AT&T, and it doesn't have to necessarily come down to illegally changing the IMEI or "hiding" the IMEI from the carrier. Eventually they'll cross-check your device and figure out it's a smartphone and add your data. But to my knowledge, the adding of the data is all automatically done by computers; so if the system sees that all data is disabled for you, it shouldn't attempt to add anything.
[Moto X Q&A] jimmyn89:
Does anyone know if its possible to manually enable driving mode? The reason I ask is because the other day I was painting and it would have been nice for the phone to read the text messages to me like it does when I'm driving.
[Moto X Q&A] DanRyb:
I've been wondering this too! I think it's useful at other times than just driving.
[Moto X Q&A] lucfig:
I asked Motorola via the play store email. I asked for a broadcast receiver for intents support so I can activate it with Tasker.

If we all send emails they might implement it.

[Moto X Q&A] jimmyn89:
Not that I know of. I was hoping with the new Touchless Control update it would accomplish this. But once you say "what's up", it just reads your text, but doesn't give you the option to reply like you can with driving mode. When I submitted the request for the feature via the play store, they replied and said "Stay tuned", so maybe something is in the works.

YOu could downgrade your ROM easily via EXE-File or SD-Card. BUt some ROMs have a limitation in it, so that you can only up- / downgrade via SD-Card. If you use a EXE fiele you get an error 011.....

Hello,

I dropped my HTC One x+ on the toilet for a few seconds. The phone was locked when it got wet, I dried as best as I could. While I was drying it I accidently touched the unlock button and the screen went live and it looked like damped inside but it was functional. I did not turn off the phone, so afterwards it would go off with alarms, etc.

I opened up the phone, dried it inside and put it phone inside a bag of rice over three days. While I was disassembling the phone I accidently touched something on the parts inside that lighten up the screen and looked lively like normal. After I put the phone inside the bag I could hear it going off, so it still worked.

I took the phone out of the bag, reassembly it and charged it. The phone turned on but the screen was very black like 99%. The phone seemed functional: I played music on it by guessing and touching where the music app would be.

Is there a part I can fix inside so that the screen would become light again? The phone seems to work fine.

Thanks.

The new card option on first page of RBC app (seen in screenshots from RBC site) is not visible on my device.

I have filled out the form and am waiting for a call back, i imagine this push update will enable the missing button in RBC app.

[General Questions and Answers] yogi217:
Ok, so I'm not a tech pro. But molding my gadgets is becoming a hobby. I've learned unlocking and rooting.. I've started flashing ROMs and mods to stock roms.

Now I'm wondering, what's the difference between ROMs like pure AOKP vs ROMs based on other original roms like AOKP?

For example, I'm using Smoothrom on my grouper nexus 7 to boost performance/reduce lag/etc. It is a 4.3 Jellybean ROM based on AOKP. What is the difference v the AOKP ROM? added features baked in? Bugs within Aokp fixed?

This is question is just for knowledge sake, so please don't criticize any biases or wrong assumptions apparent in the language of the question. Please do address any inaccuracies or biases/assumptions that you notice. Like I said, this is just for me to better understand the motivation/benefits/risks/purposes behind roms like AOKP v AOKP Based (slimrom).
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Okay basically everything that's made from scratch or source is pure. Roms that mention they are based on these so called "aosp" "aokp" is pretty much the same thing as the one built from source but its been modified, for example cyanogenmod is built from source, if you download it and modify the ROM, enhance it a bit more, add more features you will have to say it is based on cm as you didn't build it from source or scratch. You used the ROM as a base for your project. Like something you can start from.

Its like a car. A person that owns a car and modifies it, but its based on the original. The original is initially made by scratch. I hope I made sense. Sounded better in my head :p
[General Questions and Answers] yogi217:
Thank you. Completely makes sense. I guess that's why forums usually have two sections "original development" and Android based development."

Question for anyone:

Are those that are based on something like CM usually and improvement on CM in terms of bugs, etc or is it more just a preference in terms of features?
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
It really depends, some add in more features, some remove features and make is clean. In you way you could say its an improvement but its up to the user as they are the ones that judge it themselves. Some bugs get fixed in the nodded Roms that use cm as base, like I said its all up to the user that mods the ROM. If they want to fix it themselves or wait for a new release.
