[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Huziwara:
Hello all,

I have a Huawei G520-0000 bought from China and tried to follow this guide :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343580

I successfully rooted the device but when I tried to copy the following files :

OneTime Initializer.apk

GoogleLoginService.apk

Google Services Framework.apk

Setup Wizard.apk

Gmail.apk

in root\system\apps and then rebooted, android is now completely bugged.

I'm stuck at the "Welcome" screen and whenever I try to do something else, I have the folowing error "The Setup wizard has stopped" (My device is in french so sorry if it's not completely accurate).

I cannot start in recovery mode and I cannot modify the debug USB option...

Any ideas about what should be the next step ?

Thanks !

Brick Huawei G520-0000

Recently I flashed Huawei G520-0000 using CWM recovery with custom ROM I’ve got it from the internet after too many failure times trying to install official firmwares from Huawei support area (it starts unpack in the step 1 then after a while says failure, I tried many firmwares UPDATE.APP, but it was the same thing, so ended me up using custom ROM), after finish flashing the phone with this custom ROM ended up with starting the phone with green background and blue, red squares in center of the screen.

Now the phone stuck at this case and doesn’t continue booting up only frozen and if I rolled the battery out for 5 seconds then put it back and hold volume up and down in the same time the phone goes to the purple screen if there is SD card (dload, UPDATE.APP is located on the SD), it shows progress and the progress stuck at 35%

Any suggestion will be strongly appreciated

Problem resolved
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi All,

Today I should be picking up a KF2 (Kindle Fire 2nd Gen) today from a friend. And although I have experience with this device in the past, as I rooted one a while ago, and installed Google PlayStore bits and bobs for another friend... This was a while back.

A few months back, I read somewhere although cannot find it now... That Amazon have rolled out a serious Update to most Kindles (KF2, KF-HD, and possibally KF-HDX) that has updated the baseband/kernel to a certain version. Which prevents Unlocking, and tampering with it could cause the device to Hard Brick...

So was wondering, what is the best procedure to tackle this? Easy method to Root / Recovery??

And what does this 2nd BootLoader actually do?? Does it allow you to DualBoot both original stock Kindle firmware as well as second partition for Custom Roms??

Thanks, Lister
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK first off which kindle do you have, because a kf2 is. Of a 2nd gen kfhd. If its a 2013 kindle fire HD, don't bother with second bootloader because it will just brick it. If it is in fact a kf2 then here's what second d bootloader does. Basically we can't unlock our devices bootloader so 2nd bootloader is a workaround. It allows us to run our own unsigned kernels and custom recovery. Once we have that we can flash a custom ROM like cm. And no no dual booting, Amazon's os is too different from cm to be able to.

To install 2nd bootloader + twrp you must be rooted, suggest kindle fire first aid for that, there's a tutorial in the dev section for kf2 for installing second bootloader + twrp here.

Make sure you check the md5sum of the bootloader before flashing it so you don't risk hard bricking, also I suggest putting the ROM and its gapps on the kindle ahead of time if your are running 10.4.8 because it will boot loop into recovery after the process until you flash a different rom, so its easier to have the ROM o. Ahead of time rather than "adb push" it.

Hi [MENTION=5112866]stunts513[/MENTION],

Sorry for the delay getting back to you, my friend didnt bring the device in until yesterday...

I can confirm that it is a Kindle Fire 2nd Gen (Otter2), and it is running 10.4.6 firmware/baseband...

I tried to root it in work, on my Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 based PCs, and unfortunately it wasn't detecting it, or working with the ADB drivers....

I tried at home on my Windows XP and Vista setup, and again wasn't detecting it. However it did detect on my Windows 7 setup at home (triple boot). This must of been the partition I used for my friends one many months ago... (although I found various Kindle related files on each partition).

Anyway, I got the damn thing rooted now, thankfully... and shall move onto the 2nd Bootloader thing... However, is there any other way, or easy way of doing this other than whats in that post?? I don't mind doing it, and will follow it again. However late last night I was losing the will to live as it was hard work getting to do things... (compared to other Android devices that are a breeze to do...).

I tried to backup my partitions on the Kindle what it says to do at the start, and it kept saying it couldnt find these on the Kindle... I read in the guide that it said I could download them from a website, but all I could see was scripts and not backup partitions... Is it really important to backup my own ones, or could I just download someone else's Kindle Fire 2nd (8Gb) model??

And yeah, is there any other way to get custom recovery / rom on, other than the original guide...?? - not gonna give up, just last night kept falling asleep trying to follow it... when things werent working and patiently waiting for things to happen/work... lol

Anyway, thanks so much for replying to my question, and for all the help you have given me to get me started... much appreciated!! :)

Thanks, Lister
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
As far as i know offhand that method for the kf2 is the only method, which is kinda sad because its the same manual method as the other hd's, and the hd's have fireflash, but fireflash never had the support added in for the kf2 for some reason last i checked. I wouldn't worry too much about the backups, once you run the dd command on the partitions to store them on the sdcard folder, then even if adb pull doesn't work you can always copy them over mtp. i don't like how adb pull works on windows. Only image i would be concerned with storing is the boot0block.

If i made some incorrect references its probably because i vaguely remember it maybe having a different command than the hd model, but the hd's backup command would work on a kf2 as well.

Rooting KF2

Can you give a list of the links that you used to root you KF2?

I've tried to connect to my with ADB but I can't get it to see my device. I can connect my KF2 to my WINXP machine, and transfer files, but I can't get ADB to recognize the device, and I can't get any root options to work. Any help would be appreciated. Ultimately I would like to install a new ROM like CM, but until I can do the basics, I can't get that done.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You should check to see if it has the driver installed for adb in the device manager, if it doesn't even show up as a adb device in device manager you probably haven't turned USB debugging on on the kindle itself.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] dperry324:
Checked and verified that USB debugging is in fact turned on on my kindle.

Settings>>Security>>Enable ADB is ON.

Settings>>Device>>Allow Installation of Applications is ON

I still can't get adb to recognize my device.

I installed ADB from adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321.zip if that makes any difference.

I had read in the forums that I might need a special cable for fastboot. Is that what I'll need to get?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] dperry324:
For what it's worth, I just found and followed this tutorial:

EDIT: Well crap, this forum won't let me post the outside url. I guess if you search for "Setting up ADB driver for Kindle Devices" by David Isbitski" on developer dot amazon dot com, you will be able to find the tutorial

It was very helpful, and it was the first tutorial I've found that actually showed how to install adb windows drivers for the kindle fire.

In windows Device Manager >> Portable Devices >> Kindle is installed, then uninstall Kindle, as they are the wrong drivers.

In the SDK Manager

Go to TOOLS >> Manage Add On Sites

Go to the User Defined Sites tab

add the url found in the tutorial listed above, save and quit that window.

Back at the manager, do "Packages >> Reload" to update the list.

For the kindle fire 2nd generation, I had to expand "Android 4.0.3 (API 15) to find and install:

"Kindle Fire 2nd Generation"

Under Extras, install:

Amazon AVD Launcher (Windows)

Kindle Fire Device Deffinitions

Kindle Fire USB Driver

Once installed go to \extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and run "KindleDrivers.exe"

You should then find "Device Manager >> Kindle Fire >> Android Cmposite ADB Interface"

You can then stop/start adb, then do a adb devices.

That is what worked for me!

[Asus Transformer TF700] vampyric_blood:
So I was browsing around in the files on my tab's internal that is running cromi-x 5.4. I found in /etc/firmware/ec/ a .rom file that is labelled as the DOCK-EC20N-0207. I have a tf201 dock that has the 206 firmware still and have been looking for a way to update it to the 207. I know if you click multiple times on the dock firmware under about tablet you come to a screen were you can manually update the firmware. Is this the file that i need to do so?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can try it that way, but if your dock firmware needs updating the rom would have done it automatically on first boot.

Just want to introduce my new app - Floating Window Shortcuts.

As the name implies it is an app that allows you to make app shortcuts that opens automatically in Pen Window or Floating Window. There is a free version that shows only limited default apps to choose from.

Shortcuts can be made on homescreen, or on third-party apps like Glovebox, Swipepad, etc.

Xperiacle, can you make this shortcuts accessible from the notification bar like your Pen Window Launcher app?

I can create a shortcut for Whatsapp via Floating Window Shortcuts but I want the shortcut to stay in notification bar to easily open it when I'm in another app. Can this be done? I would've gladly pay for it :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
Sure. I'll see what I can do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:

Can u adjust the density for pen window apps to be like multi window

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ViAlexSt:
how to make?

Hi, xperiacle, it's just great that you're doing unlocking multiwindows. Manufacturers don't always finish their products. And I have a couple of questions. The main question: is it possible to make multiwindows for all applications with a "floating" button on KitKat 4.4.2? The same way as it's done on JB: HIRE Because it's a wonderful mod to unlock the multiwindows, which I applied to all firmwares.

And second, I tried to install Floating Window Shortcuts on Tab Pro from Google Play, but got a message that the device is not supported. What is the reason such a failure?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] cetindk:
Oh my God! You are the best xperiacle! I updated the app now I can easily open the shortcuts from the notification bar. Not only that, thanks to you I am not limited to Samsung's little list of pen window supported apps as there are many more apps available in your full version. I am just so excited right now thank you very much :D

BTW, If you can do the shortcuts in the notification bar not like one under another but side by side like the one in your Pen Window Launcher app that would be awesome as it makes it look more tidy. However I realize that I'm just nitpicking here, I don't want to be disrespectful. This app is already awesome as it is! :D

Thank you so much
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
So true :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
The "floating button" like the one from the Note 10.1 was removed by samsung on later devices. I am not sure why. I believe samsung may bring it back in some form in the future but at the moment it is not possible to bring it back just by smali editing.

With your second question, I am not sure why it is detecting your tab pro as incompatible. I thought the tab pro has the necessary dependencies. Anyway, I updated the app already on the Play Store to support more devices (S3, S4, S5, Note 2, Tab Pro) so try updating to the latest version on the Play Store.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] xperiacle:
I am still working on FW Notification Shortcuts like in your descripttion. I've got a working initial version but still needs some polish. Hopefully I could finish before I get busy with some more urgent stuff.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] cetindk:
My God that first screenshot is looking so awesome! Samsung should have made it like that in the first place!

Its so good we have talented developers like you man, thanks so much. Will be waiting patiently.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
Sorry, again so true...
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Spere:
Pro tip: Add shortcut holding phone portrait. If you use app landscape and make shortcut, window size goes crazy (width and height is for landscape and if you open widget on portrait, it'll go over screen and look stretched).

Maby developer of this (awesome / must have) app can fix this or force app to be used portrait (which will work as workaround)

I have Note 3 running on 4.3, so I don't know if this occurs on other devices or KitKat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] phntommax:
Thank you ! I was just asking Samsung support on Twitter to allow us to add our own apps to the pen window.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Hi xperiacle: I updated and there seems to be a problem where when I try the examples you give the apps open up fine in floating window and appear in the notification. But if I try to make a new shortcut they only open full screen. Notification works though (thanks for adding this new feature!). I'm on tweaked rom for tmobile and still using 4.3 until tweaked is updated.

Regardless, great work!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
at my constellation all works fine
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] mscion:
Hi. Previous problem fixed.

I noticed something nice you can do if you combine Floating Windows Shortcuts and Lucid Launcher (might try some other launcher but I haven't checked) Initially using Nova Launcher, set up a short cut for lucid launcher and open it as a floating window. Next go to the lucid launcher app drawer in the floating window. If you try to open an app from there it will open in an independent window with the same dimension that you set up with Lucid Launcher! Also, Lucid Launcher has it's own browser that when, say, playing a you tube video, you can minimize it (to the usual circle on screen) and you still can hear the music. This actually minimizes Lucid Launcher window as the browser is integrated with the launcher.

Anyways, thought I'd share. Some screen shots found in post 325 of link

Hi, xperiacle! What a strange bug happened today in the FW? The list displays only stock and a couple of my applications (TC & Root Explorer). No those programs that I have installed. Previously, FW showed absolutely all installed apps. No Xposed framework, I reinstalled the program, did reset the cache - doesn't help. What to do?

And please: can you upload in this thread updated versions? Because in Google Play I purchased the key pro without any problems, but the program is still not available for my device (Tab Pro 10.1). Such is the trouble... :crying:
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ViAlexSt:
I realized what I was wrong: FW GUARANTEED works in conjunction with MultiWindow Apps Manager - it adds the application and voila! It appears in the list of FW. Why the failure was I - I do not know.

[MENTION=4948919]xperiacle[/MENTION]

Just tried it. Very nice idea!

But I think this could be even better. Was thinking about something like the new s5 toolbox. A moveable, transparent launcher (like for pen window manager) with a small number of user designated apps (like in the s5 toolbox) to launch in this minimized state, with the after ability to move, resize, maximize.

Whatcha say?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Robo1:
First love the app and the possibilities:

A few thoughts form a common user that you may consider :

1. the ability to save http address with window so when a web window comes up it opens that page

2. to be able to place a window similar to widget on a home screen and sticky it to a page in launcher

Great job and looking forward to playing with it works great on tablets

Can where the app opens, when choosing bottom right corner option, be recalibrated for Note Edge. Currently the right had side is cut off. I've included two images to show what I mean.
