[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasero12:
"I have recently attempted to install the 2nd bootloader, TWRP, and CM-10.2 mods on my Kindle FIre HD 8.9 and ended up with a bootlooping brick."

I have the same problem but when I try fastboot mode the computer wont even find the device
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thinkwithportals:
Alrighty, well. I woke up this morning and decided to re download all of the system, boot, and recovery image files. I flashed them to the device and it again boot-looped for about an hour. I set it up next to me and started reading through the forums for repair via soldering eMMC to SD card reader. I look down and what is starting back at me? A fully working Kindle waiting in initial setup for input... Yet within about a minute it is back into the old boot looping game again. Hardware problem? A short maybe???
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
possibly or maybe it has a bad emmc chip.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thinkwithportals:
Hm, well I think I might just give up on this MB then. I am considering looking into my hard-bricked motherboard and using Kurohyou's pin-out. Even if my soldering skills are a bit rusty.

Thank you anyway for your help. I will report my progress in the other thread from here on out.

This tutorial will teach you how to update system apps like Calender, keyboard, file manager etc

Things you ll need :-

A rooted phone

Root explorer

Applications like Aptoide

Instructions

Install root explorer from play store.

Install aptoide from internet.

Let aptoide update.

After some time aptoide will show updates, update the system apps. But these apps wont install.

Backup the original apk and delete it from /system/app folder (root).

Now go to root explorer, copy the (SystemAppName).apk from /sdcard/.aptoide and paste it into /system/app. No need to install.

Reboot the phone and Done!

You can use the same method to revert back to original app.

NOTE: SOME APPS LIKE SETTINGS CANT BE UPDATED USING THIS METHOD.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigbenNZ:
My wife has a old Motorola Razr2 V8 that has a very good Calendar alarm, Multiple alarms in a day different ring tones etc perfect for the job.

I have a Older Gingerbread Huawei cell phone that seems to have a useless Calendar,cant seem to do any thing with it, I did get it to ring a alarm

but it did this at some funny time.

So I would like a Phone that has a better Alarm type Calendar, thinking of the Moto G would this do similar things that the Motorola Razr2 V8

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epos7:
I'm from the US and am in New Zealand for a month. I own an HTC One which I purchased from AT&T and have been using on their network in the States. I've unlocked the phone, and also have S-Off. I've purchased a prepaid SIM card from Vodaphone in New Zealand. When I insert the SIM card, the phone asks me for the 8 digit SIM unlock code, so I entered the 8 digit PUK code provided by Vodaphone with the SIM. The phone tells me this code is invalid. I'm not quite sure why this isn't working - is it possible I need to load a different firmware to use the phone in New Zealand?

Kernel is 3.4.10-g31f7883

Firmware looks like 3.62.401.1

I'm currently using ViperOne ROM.

Certainly appreciate any input on this issue.

Thanks,

Josh
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epos7:
Well, I did not realize that bootloader unlock and SIM unlock are two different things. That's a bit confusing. Wish I had figured that out prior to flying here.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
If I remember correctly (this is all from memory), for the unlock code to work, you need

1) correct (original) CID and MID

2) stock ROM (some were able to do it on custom ROMs, but not sure if all work or only certain ones)

3) stock firmware for above ROM

4) stock recovery

5) LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader

6) S-Off won't matter, and that will be your ticket to unlock again

you can search the forum here for SIM UNLOCK, there are quite a few similar cases, which got solved by a combination of points 1 through 5.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epos7:
If anyone stumbles onto this thread in the future...

Turns out I needed a code from AT&T, as I needed to carrier unlock the phone before being able to use the Vodaphone SIM. I tried contacting AT&T to get the code, but they won't give it to you unless you are out of contract.

I was able to get an unlock code using option 5 in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2242473

I loaded a stock ROM, but left the bootloader and my custom recovery on there, and the unlock code worked just fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] len_smith:
I had this issue as well. Running stock JB rom, rooted and debloated. The fix was to let the battery charge to full, fhen disconnect from power, remove battery and let sit for a few minute. Put the battery back in and try to power on. I had to do fhis several times. it would run for a while and then it would start again. This is with a fairly new battery. Make sure that the phone is at room temp as well. The issue went away on its own. I don't know the root cause.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
Battery?

Before you give up entirely you might want to try a new battery, especially if you are still using the original battery. They have a limited life span that is significantly shorter than the device itself. If you don't have a new battery take the Note in to an AT&T kiosk and ask one of the reps to try a loaner. You have nothing to lose. If it is the battery you can get a replacement in the kiosk or on eBay more economically.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PercMastaFTW:
So, I rooted and saved a backup. I then installed Gummy ROM with ease. I then wanted to try TriForce. I did the factory reset etc. and then installed it. I noticed it said something failed (couldn't find a certain directory I think), although the top said it finished successfully. Now it won't get passed the "Samsung" logo in the beginning of boot.

I know that I added a code prior to Gummy ROM using the "debug" method of turning off the boot animations. Could that have transferred over to TriForce?

What do I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Perform a factory reset and see if that gets you bootef
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PercMastaFTW:
Yep I tried to do it and it works. For some reason, my phone can't even be used in my backed-up state... After I enter my pin, my launcher crashes, my system crashes, gapps crashes... lol why is my backup working so poorly?

So I installed Gummy again. At least it's extremely smooth. Missing all my favorite TW featuers though...

Do you know what I might be doing wrong with TriForce? I re-read it's page, and it did mention a long first boot. So I'll try to keep it on for a longer time... going on 5 minutes of blank screen haha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
I'm not sure. I've never had that experience with triforce. Have you tried other tw Roms to see if it also happens. Also did you check to see if MD5 matched?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PercMastaFTW:
I haven't tried any other TW roms. Do you happen to know of any good ones that get extreme smoothness/performance/fast app opening/less bloat/and good battery life? I'd also like more customization and extra cool things haha.

I'm nearing 20 minutes. Apparently someone said you should flash a different kernel for people having boot problems? Now my screen is flickering randomly... sheesh. But yeah, do you happen to know of a good one?

EDIT: And I actually dont' know what MD5 is really! My phone just "restarted" and now is blank screen again after the samsung logo -___- Do you even know why my original backup isn't working properly with the freezes and everything crashing?

Second there is a little something probably a piece of hair under my screen I have no idea how the heck it got there is there anyway to remove it Check out the pic it's really annoying thanks in advance guys.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Hi!

Fir the first one, it usually get full of lint on the bittom, thus preventing the full insert if the headohones' jack. Remove it and should be good to go.

The second one, in my case is due to the digitizer glue strips broken when i changed it and dust and other garbages getting in via the mic opening.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ch4m3130n:
Hello all . . . need I say it? But, I'm new. Not just to this forum, but also to pda/smart phones.

I got an O2 XDA Mini S yesterday and began playing. Firstly, quick basic question, are all these the same thing:- i-mate, K-JAM, HTC Wizard and O2 XDA Mini S?

OK, next, I've been reading some sites today and one of the most repetitive things I've found is the recommendation to remove the O2 software from my device - on the basis that it is causing it to run slowly. But, I haven't found that to be the case, but remember I'm new to these toys.

I also came across Magic Button for closing apps properly, not just hiding them.

Lastly, before I move on to the subject of this post - can someone clarify the difference between a hard reset and a soft reset. In particular, if I do a hard reset, do I loose eveyone from my Contacts?

But, here is the question that relates to the subject:-

I turned on bluetooth and tried to send a picture from a Samsung D500 to the XDA Mini, but no luck. I also tried with a Samsung E720, no luck there either. Lastly, I also tried with an Apple PowerBook G4 and it was unsuccessful also - but it was more informative - it basically suggested that the capability didn't appear to be there.

I did turn on bluetooth on all the devices and I also made the XDA Mini discoverable. The two phones could scan and find the XDA, as could the Apple, but neither of the phones could retain the name of the XDA in the list of previously identified devices (I hope that is clear what I mean). The Apple could retain the name, but still can't interact with it.

I have tried changing the COM ports round - ie COM 7 incoming COM 6 outgoing AND COM 6 incoming and COM 7 outgoing, but that didn't make any difference.

The most bizzare thing (not really all that bizzare I suppose) is that Infra-Red works, so I could transfer stuff (albeit awkwardly) from my old phone to the XDA.

I was wondering (probably stupidly) if the 02 software could be limiting the functionality associated with the bluetooth, or if Windows has restricted it to only be used with ActiveSync [I just can't think of any other reason for it not to work].

Any light that could be shed on this would be appreciated.

Cheers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Clivectmob:
1. Yes they are all the same things.

2. The o2 software tends to be quite animated, this slows down the device a little, it also masks the way the phone was intended to be used. Its not really necessary which is why its best to remove it. Plus, it free's up memory for other stuff.

3. There is a lot of talk on these forums about different programs that can "really" close an app as opposed to "minimising" to the background. There are "for's" and "against" arguments regarding this. It is true that programs only minimise when you press the "x" button but it does state, er, somewhere, i think it was in one of the help files in the device, that memory is managed automatically by windows and that programs are shut automatically to make room for new ones if memory becomes low. So you shouldn't have to worry about running out of memory, also when minimised the programs appear quicker than if they had been shut down, usually from where you last were too. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the point of view of the user. However, from my point of view and i think i share this with many other users, i "feel better" knowing that a program shuts when i've finished with it and it will start from a common point when i next open it. I think this is more down to the fact that people are used to this than anything else.

The program i use for this purpose is called SmartSkey, made by one of the people on this forum,it can do either and you can have an exception list of apps that minimise only, which is quite useful. Also it makes navigating the device easier with one hand, which is REALLY handy, it may be worth looking into.

4. A hard reset will make your device appear exactly how it did when you first switched it on. Anything at all that was on there will be gone, so yes you will lose your contacts. There are 3rd party applications you can use that can back up the whole device though. A soft reset just restarts the device and nothing is lost. Its equivelent to restarting a windows PC as opposed to Re-formatting one.

5. As regards you bluetooth problem, the only thing i can think of is that i have noticed that the device needs to actually be "ON", not in "sleep mode" or obviously "OFF", in order to successfully receive files via bluetooth. If it is in sleep mode then devices can see it but can't connect. I can honestly say i've had no problems as you describe with bluetooth names and stuff on mine.

Sorry i can't help you more with the bluetooth, but i hope the other info was of help to you. Enjoy your new toy, they are very customisable and as a result of which can be very annoying too. :wink:

Be prepared for late nights and hair loss, else, ignorance is bliss :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ch4m3130n:
Thanks for the reply Clivectmob. Very informative.

I've been playing again. This time I sent a picture from the XDA to the Samsung E720 and I was successful, but it doesn't seem to want to work the other way around . . . very strange.

I might bring it back and see if they can figure it out.

If anyone else fancies a shot at a solution, just fire away, I'll take any suggestions.

Again, thanks Clivectmob :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ch4m3130n:
Last question.

If I take the O2 software off of this, can I return it to factory settings by doing a hard reset?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Clivectmob:
Yes you can, as I said, it will be as it was when you first switched it on.

All that software is stored on a hidden ROM on the device, when you hard reset it goes through a customization sequence afterwards where it puts it all back on. One trick is to wait until it displays the customization message, then pull out the battery. Switch back on and it will not customize it, but then you need to manually configure all your conection settings and so on, so you need to be reasonably up on the use of them for that.

My stock rom has wifi disabled and android firewall blocking everything

From stock I renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/

From stock I also renamed com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/

My rom slot has thor-gapps-rom-2.zip installed on it and android firewall is not running on it

Cpasjuste how does your app block updates? Does it change filenames or what?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
It screws everything. Yes safestrap breaks. The HDXPosed app Cpasjuste made doesn't block it. I think I blocked it from updates (read my above post). I think if it updates in a rom slot it updates the stock rom also but I'm not sure. Time for damage control.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] glimmer00:
As far as I can tell the rename of com.amazon.dcp.apk works. I did that along with Android firewall white list and the otacerts remove . Prior to the dcp apk rename I could go to device settings and do an update check. Renaming the apk stopped that immediately(it will report "Last Update Failed" if you check for an update) so I imagine that app is at least partly responsible for the update.
