[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] psychoticide:
A couple nights ago, just after I turned off the lights to go to sleep, the room was illuminated with this white light. Turns out my phone's flash was turned on somehow. I opened the camera app to see if the flash was on...it wasn't. When I turned it on, the light got much brighter. I shut the phone completely off and the flash light would still kind of blink then stay on. The light isn't as bright as it is when the actual flash is turned on in the camera app. I had to pull the battery completely to get it to shut off. The next morning I put the battery back in and instantly the flash light flickered and came back on. It seems like if I enable the flash in the camera app it will stay off for a while, but it seems to always come back on at some point. Anyone else with this problem? If not, I guess I can try a hard reset, followed by a return to cingular.

Flash light malfunction

Hi!

I have exactly the same problem and my xda mini s is just 1 week old!

Does anybody knows any reason for this behaviour?Or any solution?

I am afraid I have to return the device back to O2.-:(

Also I saw that I do not have any o2 stuff preinstalled on my mini s.I got it in germany a week back,is it normal that o2 has stopped delivering the o2 stuff in the latest versions.What I see is just the splash screen when the device starts up.

Any in info/advice would be v. obliging!

Regards,

Vineet

My 8125 start to do the same thing. Have you guys figured it out what's wrong and how to fix this?

I've tried soft-reset/hard-reset, loaded new ROM, took battery out and leave it for a while... but the problem is still there.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ahujavineet:
Retured the device

I returned the device and got a new one,now the problem is no more.

Guys if this behaviour exists on your device then its a malfunction in the device ..o2 guy confirmed this too me..Return this immediately!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yomama163:
Dear xda-community,

some months ago I dared myself to root my Samsung SHW-M250S (Korean Version of Galaxy S2) and lost my IMEI on that phone. I couldn't find it and forgot to make a backup of my efs partition because of stupidity and not really reading the manuals properly (I used to have a HTC Desire S which didn't have the efs partition so it's a bad habit thing). Today I found out that I luckily registered my phone with the original IMEI in my google Settings and the developer IMEI on my current Galaxy S2.

My question is: Is there any possibility to insert my old IMEI into my rooted Galaxy S2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
IMEI is device specific.....by law.

Sorry mate, but nobody here is going to help you break the law......
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Take it to a local mobile repair shop, some have the same equipment as Samsung service centres that can write the IMEI back to the device. Normally isn't very expensive (much cheaper than replacing a motherboard for example).

You could buy this equipment yourself, but it would cost twice as much (or more) as paying someone who knows what they're doing to fix it properly, you'd probably never use it again, and if you mess it up, your phone is probably a bin job.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yomama163:
Well... Since I didn't backup my EFS and got the develeoper one, does it mean I am owning an illegal phone?

Gonna try that in the next weeks, see if it works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No, the device having the generic IMEI is not illegal, it's just in many countries these phones are essentially useless & have no connectivity (they will work in some countries with providers who use outdated telco equipment, though).

Most good phone repairs shops should be able to fix this for you, if not, service centre definitely will.

Edit to add - However, writing a different IMEI into a device is very much illegal in most countries (the EU in particular) and will result in both your device & the device the IMEI came from being blacklisted (rendered permanently useless). The only way you can legitimately get a different IMEI & use the phone OK is if you swap the motherboard with a 2nd hand board from a 'donor' device. When Samsung service centres replace motherboards to fix a whole host of things, in most countries they write the existing IMEI to the new board.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yomama163:
But what if I can prove that the IMEI I wanted to recover is stored e.g. in my google account? Is it still illegal then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You didn't comprehend what I said to you.

The original IMEI can definitely be written back to the phone by a Samsung service centre & likely many mobile repair shops; this is OK.

You cannot write a different IMEI to a device, this is illegal.

The end.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yomama163:
Ok, that's what I wanted to know. Gonna search for a repair center in around me then... Thanks!

so are you saying a verizon network is breaking the law because it is their policy that dictates pageplus and straight talk in this procedure heck even verizon prepaid

dropping the last digit like they are telling me to do is what?

i dont think its illegal like you say.

no way they would tell 1000's of people to do it

i just tried to ota *22890 my note 3 after they gave me those directions along with my mdn/min/sid and "normally" i get voice/text/mms and data at this point

i just tried without successsfully changing mine and it wont OTA

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] urbainmenace:
Hi guys,

EDIT: See the last posts - I have figured this out, and tried to include helpful information, if you are having this problem too.

Firstly please accept my apologies if this has been answered already. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, and cant find specific instructions, or a guide that I can follow with any success.

I stupidly deleted system files from my Kindle, but now I have purchased a fastboot cable, and I'am able to get it into fastboot mode.

I have correctly installed the ADB Drivers, and the device is now recognized by my Windows 7 Device Manager. It shows 'Android ADB Interface'.

I would guess that I need to flash the entire Kindle, but I'm unsure of how to do this, as I cannot seem to access the device at all. It currently loops when booting, giving me no time to see it as external storage via My Computer.

Please would someone more versed in this, guide me specifically through how to get myself back up and running again? I would be forever greatful.

I have SDK and JDK installed, but do not have the knowledge I need to learn how to use them properly.

Thanks so much in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] goodayoo:
what is the fastboot cable? where can I get it? can a normal usb cable do the job?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] urbainmenace:
You definitely need the fastboot cable to push files through the ADB Interface dude. You can buy one for dirt cheap on EBay. Then all you do is simply plug it into your PC and Kindle, and it should put the Kindle straight into Fastboot mode.

Then you need to install the ADB Drivers for the Kindle.

From there, I'm stuck I'm afraid.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] goodayoo:
OK，I think I'm gonna get one and give it a try. the only way to fix this brick is in the ADB Interface I'm sure. though I also don't know How to do.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] urbainmenace:
I've finally figured out how to get ADB up and running, and how to start command prompt. I found this link helpful:

developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing

If anyone needs help pushing files through ADB, I recommend that link!

Do the following to detect your Kindle Fire tablet through ADB:

Open a command prompt window.

Change directory to your Android SDK platform-tools directory. - To do this, find out where SDK is installed on your PC. Copy the path.

Type cd in command prompt, then space, then paste the directory path. EG, C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools

Hit enter, and the command line will change to read C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools.

Run the following commands and confirm that the serial number for your Kindle Fire tablet appears in the list of devices.

adb kill-server

adb start-server

adb devices

Then follow the rest of the guide. I think all you need to to do, is push a system update through, by putting the file in the tools folder of SDK. This should make the device update, and put back any critical system files that you had previously deleted.

Now I'm just having issues with it finding the device, so I'm going to charge the Kindle for a few hours, and then try it again.

:good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] goodayoo:
good to hear that! I hope you can tell me how to push the system folder into the fire hdx via ADB ,I got a thor-amazon-os-13.3.1.0.zip file.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] urbainmenace:
In command prompt, there is an ADB push command, so I think all you do is type that, then the path of the file.

To list all the commands you can use, change command prompt to your platform-tools folder within SDK, type ADB in command prompt, and it will give you all the options.

You'll need to unzip the update file first I think.

:good:

bootlooped, adb runs some commands

Working with the HDX 8.9.

I think I have deleted some of the system files also. I was reloading a safestrap backup and rebooted but the backup had failed to complete. I don't know what may be missing from the system files and would like to push the system files onto the device.

Right now I get a gray kindlefire screen for about 90 seconds, during which I have adb access, then it goes to the color kindlefire screen and asks if I want to Restore to Factory Defaults or reboot. I finally subjected it to the Restore to Factory Defaults, but that just wiped the cache and data partitions, I don't see where it did anything to the system files. It did not change my adb access.

In adb I can push files to some locations but others say: failed to copy ....: Read-only file system.

I cannot run shell commands

# adb shell

soinfo_link_image(linker.cpp:1617): could not load library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" needed by "/system/bin/sh"; caused by load_library(linker.cpp:745): library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" not foundCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

I was working in Windows 8.1 but have switched to Suse Linux but the results are the same so far.

I have the stock system files but I am not sure how to push them to the device, if it can be done, while the device is trying to reboot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] toz35com:

I can put the HDX in Fastboot mode with the adb command. But when I try to pass commands to the HDX I get:

[General Topics] levenum:
Hi plasticplanet!

Sounds like the system can't find the DLL for this keyboard.

The simple solution is to re-install it, and make sure you install it in main memory.

The not so simple solution: If you know the name of the DLL for the keyboard, get a registry editor, search for it under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{keyboards CLSID}\InprocServer32

and make sure the DLL is in fact in the path specified.

There is also a chance that the DLL is present but can not initialize for some reason. You should check the following:

Was the keyboard installed properly with its installer as directed?

Does the keyboard support your OS (WM5)?

Is registration required? (licence, key etc.)
[General Topics] plasticplanet:
hi levenun...thanks for your suggestion..i contacted one of the 3rd party companies about this problem..apparently in wm5 (fecking bill gates) the rom version i have which is 1.5 has a bug in it..apparently the memory used to change keyboards is the same that is used for today screen..so if you have plug-ins it wont allow you to change certain things...the company DynaType suggested that i switch them off and then try it..and guess what it worked :D after that i could then activate my today plug-ins once more
