[Kindle Fire General] Koopa777:
Thanks a bunch man! One issue that might crop up is the Kindle's reliance on CyanogenMod, and CyanogenMod's usage of CAF code. From what I understand, f2fs on CAF is a bit of a struggle. The Kindle's CM kernel SHOULDN'T be CAF(the kindle doesn't have any Qualcomm in it), but if it is then f2fs might not work. I know that you released some kernels based on 3.0 and 3.4, and this was before CM forked to CAF, so I assume that those are AOSP-based. But ROM selection would definitely take a nose-dive, for example of the 3 otterx ROMs out now, only SlimKat is AOSP-based. Again, all of that is from what I understand, and it could be completely wrong, as I personally don't use CAF(I stick to AOSP-based software).

From my knowledge, if you restore an ext4 backup on an f2fs system, it just reformats the /data as ext4 and restores. If you restore an ext4 backup on an f2fs-all system, it fails. You need to reformat to ext4 first. I'll double check that shortly.

can't update bootloader

I'm having the same problems with the unable to mount /data /sdcard etc, but I can't flash the 2.04 bootloader... it's giving me errors when I try through recovery
[Kindle Fire General] Hashcode:
What error?
[Kindle Fire General] brokye:
Here's the pic, I have it set to otterx in partition mode, but when I tried in amazon mode the same thing occured.

Also when I push a file using adb, if i reboot the kindle the files are no longer there.

UPDATE: Apparently I had the wrong version of TWRP on there, so I flashed the otterx version and everything went great. flashing it with cm-11 and gapps right now.
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
go to mounts in twrp and make sure everything but sdcard is unchecked. then try to format data from the 1st wipe menu, not advanced menu.

Problems flashing bootloader 2.04 here, too

Hi,

I can't flash the 2.04 bootloader, either.

I pushed the otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip file into the Kindle Fire using ADB, and verified that the uploaded file was all right: both by checking the MD5 hash of the uploaded file using the CyanogenMod File Manager in the Kindle Fire itself, and by pulling the file from the Kindle into my PC using ADB and checking the MD5 hash of the pulled file. Both hashes were OK: 34b76e2a1422e94beecb59f7a94bfc67, same as the one in goo.im.

I uploaded an MD5 file to the Kindle, otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip.md5, to be able to use TRWP's own hash check.

I tried to flash the otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip by using the standard method to flash ROMs: choosing "Install" in TRWP. I left the "Zip file signature verification?" check box checked. The MD5 check passed, but something else failed:

Installing '/sdcard/TWRP/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Zip MD5 matched
Verifying zip signature...
E: Zip signature verification failed:1
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/TWRP/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip'

(see attached image checkMd5.jpg).

I rebooted into recovery and tried again, this time unchecking the "Zip file signature verification?" check box. Apparently, TWRP checked the MD5 hash anyway (!?) but the installation still failed, although this time there were more details:

Installing '/sdcard/TWRP/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Zip MD5 matched
OtterX Bootloader 2.04 by Hashcode
Checking sha1sum of bootloader file...
Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/cache/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin", "45167a9f35d5df5d838292a65932e4fdc8cefb8d", "45167a9f35d5df5d838292a65932e4fdc8cefb8d")
E: Error executing updated binary in zip '/sdcard/TWRP/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/TWRP/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip'

(see attached image noMd5Check.jpg).

Apparently someone else had a problem like this, too (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51224888&postcount=517) but he blamed it on the file transfer to the Kindle failing... which doesn't seem to be my problem, as I double-checked the MD5 hash of the bootloader zipfile. He says he managed to make things work... but he didn't say how.

In case it is relevant, I am running TWRP v2.7.0.1.

Any ideas on what the problem might be will be greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] koop1955:
It is not only relevant, that is the source of your problems. You are running the wrong version of TWRP.

Please go to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50852363&postcount=2 and make sure that you are running the 2.04 version of the OtterX boot loader, use the Goo link, the XDA link has the wrong version.

Then go to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50852363&postcount=2 and the get the 2.7.0.0 special version of TWRP. That should fix your problem. You are using the wrong version.

Follow the rest of the instructions and you should be set.
[Kindle Fire General] dokie80:
Nope. Uboot doesn't need otterx version of twrp. U can use uboot with amazon partition.

I suggest to re-download the file. Or try using 2.6.3 twrp

PS. Try uninstalling security app currently installed on ROM (if u have), I read that one have similar problem because of it?
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
wow guys. why not follow op to the letter. i dont see anything about checking or unchecking md5 etc. just make sure you have the special twrp 2.7 and otterx bootloader 2.04. the wipes should be done in the same order as in op. just do each step of the op 1x1.??

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

edit. [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] any chance you could rename the twrp version to twrp 2.7-OX or something. might stop any confusion.
[Kindle Fire General] miguelmt:
I did follow the OP to the letter. Step #1 is "Install OtterX Bootloader (flash .zip)" and that's where I got stuck. The sub-steps there are

Make sure to backup your vital partitions via from recovery via adb [OK]

Download the flash .zip from the above link(s). [OK]

Apply the .zip file in recovery just like any other ROM or kernel .zip file. This is by far the safest way to upgrade your bootloader. It does a sha1sum check on the file before applying. [FAIL]

Reboot and Enjoy

I downloaded the .zip (from Crackflashers and Goo.im; as koop1955 said, the XDA link doesn't work, it is for v2.03). The MD5 hash was all right both in my PC and in the Kindle. I used TWRP to flash/install the bootloader .zip file as instructed, but that failed... so, as koop1955 and dokie80 said (thanks a lot, guys!), the problem is most likely related to the TWRP version I have.

I didn't install Hashcode's custom TWRP because, according to the OP, that's step #2 and must be taken after Hashcode's bootloader is installed. Since I couldn't install Hashcode's bootloader, I didn't try to install Hascode's custom TWRP.

The file passes the MD5 hash checks, so it must be all right. I'll try downgrading TWRP to 2.6.3 and see if that version does install Hascode's bootloader.

Thanks everyone!
[Kindle Fire General] lovejoy777:
just to make sure it is a first gen kindle?? also try and uncheck everything in mounts 1st
[Kindle Fire General] miguelmt:
Yes, it is a 1st gen Kindle Fire (Otter).

I downgraded TWRP to 2.6.3.0, booted into recovery, told TWRP to Install otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip... and it failed just the same (see attached pic withTwrp2.6.3.jpg).

I tried unchecking everything in the "Mount screen" as you suggested but, sadly, it didn't help. It didn't seem to be too closely related to this issue (I understand that these settings only apply when you enable the "mount as a media device" feature in TWRP; mine was disabled) but it was worth a shot just in case. You never know where there can be a funny side effect :)

Regarding the otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip file being right or wrong in the Kindle Fire itself, here's a screen capture of the hashes for that file as calculated by Cyanogenmod's File Manager (Screenshot_2014-05-19-00-47-20.png). You can see that the MD5 hash of the file in the Kindle matches the "official" MD5 hash: 34b76e2a1422e94beecb59f7a94bfc67.

So, if the file is indeed all right, what else can be wrong?

Do you know if it is safe to flash Hashcode's custom TWRP, then use it to flash the Hashcode's bootloader? I am worried about Hashcode's custom TWRP needing his bootloader to work...

Thanks again, guys!

Install bootloaderx with flashify app?
[Kindle Fire General] dokie80:
Try this. And there is other app that do the same, but I only tried this one, always with success.

And no, you don't need the otterX TWRP for uboot to work. I use original TWRP and uboot for some time before without problem.
[Kindle Fire General] miguelmt:
I tried that in a couple of different ways.

First I tried having Flashify to install otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip... but what Flashify really does is tell TWRP to install otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip and that doesn't work.

Then I unzipped otterx-u-boot_v2.04.zip and found otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin inside. I checked its SHA1 hash and it matches the hash in this line

assert(apply_patch_check("/cache/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin", "45167a9f35d5df5d838292a65932e4fdc8cefb8d", "45167a9f35d5df5d838292a65932e4fdc8cefb8d"));

in Hashcode's updater_script so I guess that the otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin file I extracted must be all right.

(incidentally, does anyone know why both SHA1 hashes in that line are the same --45167a9f35d5df5d838292a65932e4fdc8cefb8d?)

I told Flashify to flash otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin into the boot image but it refused because, according to Flashify, "In order to flash a file to the boot partition, you need to choose a .img or .lok file." and otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin is a .bin file, not a .img or a .lok file :crying:

Hashcode's updater_script does

package_extract_file("cache/otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");

which --if /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 is the bootloader partition (and it seems to be, according to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43522022&postcount=4)-- suggests that just renaming otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin to otterx-u-boot_v2.04.img to make Flashify happy should do the trick. I don't think that there is any kind of bin-to-img file format conversion or anything fancy here, is there?

Any ideas about this?

...oooOooo...

I guess that would do pretty much the same thing as the file renaming+Flashify conundrum above. Maybe I'll try the fastboot way instead. I have the feeling that both ways are equally dangerous, as in "I could blow my bootloader if something goes wrong"... and recovering from a bad bootloader is messy, isn't it?

I don't know... "Who dares wins", they say. Unless he loses ;)

Thanks a lot, guys!

Hello!

I have m919 T-Mobile Galaxy s4 but I'm with other carrier (Wind Canada). I rooted the phone about a month ago, I believe, using THIS guide.

I spent yesterday in environment where I didn't had coverage for most of the day, but i haven't gotten it back yet. Sounds really weird as it might be not connected to the fact at all. I have 4G connection active, which means that I have internet, but it keeps 'searching' for service and I can't Call/Text anyone, neither I can receive calls or texts. Instead of the bar at the top showing how good coverage i have it just shows a crossed out circle icon.

I've tried reboots, keeping my phone off for 30mins without battery, taking out sim and putting it back in, changing network modes and resetting APN (all from settings panel).

Have anyone experienced something like that and how do I fix it? It was working perfectly for last couple of months and the phone didn't get any damage yesterday neither.

P.S Did the the regular factory reset (don't know if it affects rooting) but it didn't change anything. =

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Never had this happen to me. Data works off your signal, something is wickedly wrong. I'd flash the modem again if you are on 4.2.2 bootloader (doesn't matter which rom or android version). If that fails, go intonrecovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe data. If that fails, backup your data and Odin flash back to 100% stock. If that fails, more than likely your /efs folder was corrupted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
Tried this?

go to settings/more networks/Mobile networks/Network operators/Search now......

It might take a minute or two, then show you some networks it finds. Select your provider and it should list some options for you.

need to see Mobile data with a check, Data roaming checked, network mode should be LTE/GSM/WCDMA(auto connect)

If you KNOW what your APN (access Point Name) is you can check if it's correctly there.

It usually is downloaded with the search for network so just try with whatever is ther for now.

Back all the way out, and power off. Take out the battery, wait like 30 seconds, replace the battery and power on again.

See if you get service and can dial out.

Aloha and Good Luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kokozaurs:
yep, one of first routines i tried. No difference :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
Ok, now you might want to call your provider and ask them to remove you from their network and reinsert you again. That procedure will often re-enable normal operation of cellular connectivity.

They will ask you to power down and remove your battery for about a minute, then power up again.

Aloha and Good Luck!

Tried it all

Well im in the same boat here.

I checked the IMEI is correct

i did a full stock MK5 install with Odin without sim inserted and with

*#2263# helps it recognizes the network on the search list (WIND)

but it wont connect (failed to connect try again)

sometimes it connects to 4G and i can use the web

but no calls or sms

i noticed i dont have LTE enabled which ill do tomorrow

i even opened my phone to check that no cables came off as it was in service for a broken screen

tried a different sim from koodo wich also acts weird it connects to data but wont make phone calls or sms

the problems began after its been UNLOCKED (sim free)

any suggestions? im willing to try anything

its been in service 4 times and still they cant figure it out...

thanks!

New contacts added from phone are not going into the "My Contacts" group in Google

I have Googled this and haven't found any one else having this problem so I wanted to check in this forum and see if something's got messed up on my phone/account.

When I add a contact from the phone, it gets synced up to Google - but not to the "My Contacts" group. So when I search for the contact on the phone, I can't find it. But if I click on the "Other Contacts" button, it's there. If I add it to a group such as "Friends", it's in the friends group, but not in the My Contacts group. So I can't find it when I search for it. I have added the contact from received call logs or directly, but it doesn't work. I didn't have this problem with the GS3.

Can someone please add a contact from the phone and see if it makes it to the "My Contacts" group in Google?

My work around is to go to contacts.google.com, search for the contact and then move it to the My Contacts group. Really annoying and I'd like to find the fix for this.

The Gallery bug has been there since we got 4.2.2 update and has been discussed several times here.

Go to settings>Applications>Gallery app and clear data and cache.

This problem is known to come back every now and then and there is no permanent fix for it. It has to be from Samsung's end.

You can try clear it's data and cache, and switch to a different Gallery app like QuickPic so that the Gallery doesn't malfunction again.

Hello guys,

im quiet new to xda and to rooting as well.

i read, tried to inform myself and then tried rooting and flashing a custom rom becaused i really liked the idea to discover new features, looks and to empower my device.

anywayi rooted my device, backed it up properly and searched for a custom rom where i found xnote Rom and really liked it.

i flashed it with twrp and it works fine i just wonder about a little issue i have now but cant remember if its there from the start (since i flashed it this morning) but i guess it occured after a few and not immediately.

getting finally to the point, on the top left corner of the screen there is a white line just when the display is about to end, i dont know how to explain it better (the old iphone jailbreak (3gs,4) had a similar line in the middle of the screen when booting while the apple logo appeared, if this might help someone to figure out what i actually mean).

i made a screenshot from my homescreen but i doubt its visible from there because of its thinness, i tried to give you and idea of its location with the red arrow though.

i wonder how to fix it ? should i flash again or is it even a well known issue?

help appreciated
