[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeraphSephiroth:
Hello~

First of all I know that this has probably been asked before but bear with me please ^_^

I flashed a kernel on my GT-i9505.

It caused a whole bunch of FC on Google Framework Service and other key services.

Anywho I decided to restore the backup I made before flashing the kernel.

It stopped the FC but now I have no baseband, IMEI, IMEI SV or Phone number and I cannot connect to any mobile network as it does not detect my SIM.

I tried restoring my EFS backup in CWM and flashing the modem.tar and modem.bin in mobile odin, still with no success.

Short of re flashing my ROM what can I do to fix this.

It's stock Sammy TW 4.3 rom with root.l and I still have WiFi access.

Also on an unrelated note, how do I install custom boot animations? Any I try show up with a black screen. Weird.

Anywho if anyone can help I would be most appreciative~~!

Thankie in advance.

Hi !

I'm using the andrea_d86-lenovos750-4.2.2-140121 ROM on my Lenovo S750 ! It's a very good one ! But I have one problem: the localisation from network Provider doesn't work for any app. For example in Google Maps it asks me to activate this option in the settings although it's already done. I tried to disable this setting, reboot the phone and then to reactivate this setting and then it works for a few minutes or hours and then the same problem appear again...

Can someone help me please ? I'm not allowed to ask this question on the official post of this ROM just because I'm new in this Forum, so I hope someone can still help me ! =)

Thank you !

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" that was previously rooted. While it was rooted, I used KindleFree to disable OTA updates. Now, I deleted the su binary, uninstalled su, resetted to factory settings, and I can't update.

I downloaded the update and transferred it to "kindleupdates" in storage,

I went to settings > device > about and clicked update.

A brief screen showed up with "Installing OTA update", then it disappeared. The Update button became grey. When I went to the file manager I saw the update was deleted and a file called ".nomedia" was created. I need to update the software to 7.4.8. PLEASE HELP! :(

Purpose: I want to root, then install fire flash (requires 7.4.8), install TWRP, then install CM11 Unofficial.

Thanks!

EDIT: I saw this on the amazon website.

Update appears to start, but doesn't update the device

Issue: After selecting the Update Your Kindle button, the software update doesn't appear to work.

Cause: The update file may have been renamed, or you have duplicate files on your computer.

Solution: Delete the update file(s) on your computer and Kindle Fire, and then repeat the software update process. Verify that the firewall on your computer isn't blocking downloads from the Internet.

I have no idea what that means..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
Delete the update files from the computer. Pretty straightforward. And btw im 99% sure you don't need 7.4.8 to use FireFlash. Just use Seokhuns guide to install it, keep the rom you want to flash on the KFHD's Sd card before hand, then install the rom, after using fireflash to get twrp plus second bootloader.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks, but fire flash DOES NOT work. I open it, it asks for root permissions, I grant it. Then a box pops up saying "fire flash has stopped." And I tried the mentioned tutorial but fire flash doesn't work. Fire flash crashes on startup.. allowed superuser permissions and reinstalled many times but I get a box that says "fire flash has stopped." I tried factory resetting, unroot + reroot, but no avail. I really want fire flash but it crashes on startup!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
Try this instead of fire flash it does practically the same thing. Keep the rom you want to flash on the sd card before hand.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks, and again I have some questions..

Does this run on 7.2.4 without screwing things up? The thread mentioned downgrading to 7.2.3 bootloader.. this leaves me utterly confused.

How do I configure the Android SDK for fastboot? I have no idea how to work with that..

What if the device kicks into fastboot but I can't exit fastboot because the drivers aren't working? Then what do I do?

With flasher is it necessary to use fastboot in the process? Will the program kick the device into fastboot?

Is there any risk of the kindle not booting?

Thanks a lot!

BTW may I ask you a favor? If you wouldn't mind can you mind walking me through the process through some chat service, teamviewer, etc. It's fine if you can't too, just asking.. :)

Thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
EDIT: If you have 7.2.4 you probably won't need to install the 7.2.3 bootloader due to the bootloader only actually changing when the 7.3.x updates came out. Proceed reading :D

EDIT: If you REALLY need help with this pm me and we can skype. :)

I'll write a step by step walk through for you. First I will answer your questions.

The program will downgrade by itself.

I am 99.9 percent sure this will work on 7.2.4, because i did it on 7.4.8.

If you install SDK properly Fastboot drivers will work. Drivers will work if SDK is installed properly.

You will need fastboot, and the program will do it by itself as long as drivers are installed properly.

As for risks... There is always a risk. Follow these guidelines when doing this stuff:

Follow Steps Closely

Don't rush it

Don't take risks

Last thing to keep in mind is to keep the rom you want on the device beforehand.

Lets get started.

Step 1: Install the Android SDK if you already haven't. (To check if you have open Command Prompt and type in adb--you should see a list of commands. If you don't see it, google "Install android sdk".)

Step 2: It will automatically install the 7.2.3 bootloader to prevent red screens, so open the flasher tool and backup(optional).

Step 3: Press Step 3. First it will install the 7.2.3 bootloader if you don't already have it. Then it will install the stack override. Then it will disable amazon updates.

PAY ATTENTION NOW FOR THE HARD PART

Step 4: Disconnect your KF. Then turn it off. Press enter, and then plug in your powered off Kindle.

Then it should be done!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks a lot! I'll get started today.. though I am kinda confused.

I'm using this tutorial, and is it safe to use Step 13 to 20? Are those necessary? (Tutorial: http://www.theandroidroot.com/how-to-set-up-adb-and-fastboot-with-android-sdk-on-windows/ ) And OTA updater crashes, fire flash won't install too. Does this mean my system is corrupted and anything may happen? (Before I factory reset my KFHD7 was tweaked a LOT and remains may be left) Thanks! BTW my Skype id is androidnewbie123 .

EDIT: Nothing turns up when I type adb in cmd - I have installed the SDK too.

EDIT 2: ADB works, just had to run cmd from adb directory

EDIT 3: What happens if adb doesn't work for some reason in the middle of the tutorial?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Sorry for the immensely large number of questions, just too scared to start without full knowledge of what I'm doing...

And I wanna get started soon.. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
adb wont stop working, adb doesnt work on regular cmd because u didnt set paths.

go to computer, right click and click propteries go to advanced system setting. then go to environ variables, then go to System Varuabels then scroll down to "Path". once u are tehre, click edit and at the end of the line, seperated by semicolon from other pahts, type in where adb is found. for me its " C:\SDK\Platform tools\" stop when u are at the folder its at.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks!

Do I need to use steps 13 to 20 on the tutorial I mentioned? And is it fine if you can help me throughout the process using skype? Thanks again :)

I am so nervous right now :eek:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Bump fo' last minute advice :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miztah1999z:
Just do it following my instruction s :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Alright, just hope this won't fail..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,small correction. My tool installs the stack override and disables the amazon updates. THEN while in fastboot,it will install the 7.2.3 bootloader and other files.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Do I need to set any ADB variable path/configure anything on my PC before I start? I read a lot of other threads and I'm confusing myself o.O

I was thinking of finishing the scary stuff today (installing the bootmenu and recovery) so yeah.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
BTW I appreciate all the efforts for this tool from you :)

Does it work on a Kindle 7.2.4 where OTA doesn't work? Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
No problem man. Just trying to help out people like you (and me):D

And about your question:it should. Although the Flasher was made for software OS 7.4.6,it should work on any OS version. But it also might give you a bootloop. So be sure to keep a ROM zip and GApps on the sdcard so that you can just install the ROM in recovery.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Alright, thanks. And one last thing.. as I posted above.. do I need to set any adb variable path or computer pre-requisites before flashing? Ty in advance :) I'm kinda new to this stuff..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,you do need the ADB drivers installed. If ADB cannot recognize your Kindle because of driver issues,then my tool can't do anything at all. Other than that,you don't need to do anything.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks for the quick help :)

Now I can finally start after months of waiting xD

I just hope I don't get my Kindle Fire bricked..

Thanks again for this tool which simplifies the steps!

EDIT: Can't get into fastboot using the tool no matter what :(

I installed stack override and I got a message somewhere saying "failed no such directory found" ending with some "installation.sh" or something. I can't verify the device either. I only have a normal USB cable. When I plug that in my KFHD just turns on and doesn't go into fastboot. Please help! I only managed to backup the system and stuff. Only the stack override is installed now (I think)

Help! Ty

EDIT #2: Stuck on <waiting for device> and my device just boots normally... when connected to PC and powered off at that step.

I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 to install adb and fastboot drivers plus google phone drivers. I also have the SDK..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Don't worry about the file not being present while disabling auto recovery update script. According to Hashcode:

As for your second problem,check the following things:

Is your device rooted?

If it isn't,then root it. You need to root it before doing anything else.

If it is....

Reboot into the OS normally. Then open a CMD window in the 'files' folder of my tool's folder. To do so,navigate to the files folder,hold shift and right-click. Then select 'open command window here'. Connect to your Kindle via ADB. Once you can see it in the 'list of devices attached',type in the following command:

adb shell su -c "reboot-bootloader"

Your device should boot into fastboot. Then in fastboot,enter the following lines of code one after another:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader 7.2.3-boot.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot freedom-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

And everything should be OK.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Use Stunts ADB drivers http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9 if your tablet is not rooted then ADB commands cannot be used to reboot into fastboot. You will need a fastboot cord in this case.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
It is 100% rooted, I used root checker and it confirms. But I use SuperSU so yeah.

I'll try this method. Shift+right click doesn't work so I copied cmd.exe to that folder. Here's what I get when I start it..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
ADB drivers are installed though and I am rooted. Used Root Checker by Joeykrim. Still fails..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Ok, open a command window and type adb devices, what returns? Also remember to use this from the admin profile of your computer. Simply giving admin privilages may not work.

Note:

Use the command adb shell su -c reboot bootloader leaving the quotes out of the line.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks, I'll try this later.

1. If I don't get any adb devices what do I do?

2. If I get stuck in fastboot somehow how do I exit it? Manually and through cmd?

Ty again :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
If you don't get any ADB devices,driver issue.

If you get stuck in fastboot,you can force power down by holding the power button down for a LONG time and then reboot normally. Or in CMD:

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Please ignore the "list of devices attached" thing, I did that when no devices were connected

I successfully entered fastboot but this error happens..

I booted into stock normally without any problems.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Please check the name of the 7.2.3 bootloader in the files folder. I think I've gotten it wrong... Must've forgot:p
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Nah, you got it right :P

But maybe the download was corrupted so I downloaded the flasher zip again and am going to try again. Verified md5's.

EDIT: I tried but same results: error: can't open 7.2.3-boot.bin. I even copied the exact name of the file again just to be sure but no avail.. I seriously want to install CM on my kindle! :( Help please!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
ADB and fastboot work perfectly, now I got a new issue :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
What's the issue? Maybe if you manually flash the images it would work better.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
I typed in my issue on the previous posts.. the cmd error.

A thumbnail of it is attached on one of those posts. I'm getting an error while trying to flash.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Looking at your thumbnail I would re-download that tool and try again. The download is probably corrupted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,now I would suggest one thing: head over to Hashcode's thread,grab the files and flash them manually.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Alright, just a small confusion though. Do I place all the bin/img files in one folder and start cmd from there?

And do I have to re-install the stack override?

Thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Read the tutorial.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
The thread says nothing about placing files in folders and such.

Also anything about the stack override.

Plus, I have a KFHD7 on 7.2.4. Should I flash the 7.4.6 files?

I have no clue.. All I wanted was CM11 on my KFHD.. :(

EDIT: May I start flashing with this setup?

This is a folder I made; I downloaded Hashcode's files, put all the adb/fastboot files from Flasher's files folder into this, and I want to know if this is good to start a cmd and flash with.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
Thanks, but I redownloaded, checked md5, and got the same error. o.O
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,if you want to be absolutely sure,head over to Hashcode's Goo.im Account and grab any version of the freedom boot. And if you're facing problems flashing via fastboot,you might want to use stanga72's FireFlash app. It does the same thing,but instead of Fastboot,it does the flashing from within the OS i.e no PC required. You'll want to be careful though. You don't want to flash TWRP as the bootloader and freedom boot as the recovery...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
I started with FireFlash but it crashed whenever I opened it, right after it was granted SU perms. That's how I moved to flasher (which failed), and then now I'm stuck with the tough normal method...

Thanks for all the help so far though.

The setup is fine though right? And I don't really know which version to pick and flash.. I don't want to result with a bricked KFHD. Sorry for being such a n00b and bugging all of you :(

What didn't work on my Kindle Fire HD so far:

Flasher

FireFlash

CMD method

I just want CM11 on my KFHD that's all.. why is it so tough? :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
No problem man. We like helping people.

Well,as for the setup,I think(just thinking,not sure) that using my ADB and Fastboot daemons are the cause of the problem. You should have the Android SDK installed if you are into Android modding.

And as for your setup,I would say,"Go for it!" But I'm not sure anymore....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
:)

I have the SDK but I dunno what to do with it..

But then if you're not sure, I can't be sure either, and that could lead to a brick..

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,if you have the SDK,you shouldn't need my ADB and Fastboot files. Tell me the directory where your SDK is installed,and I'll tell you how to set it up so that you can use ADB and Fastboot from anywhere.

Would it be possible if you could do a "step-by-step" walkthrough for me through skype chat or something for flashing the files? I hope I'm not asking too much from you, after all the help you've done for me already... I'm just really confused about the whole thing.

My Skype id is androidnewbie123, if you're fine with that. Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Sorry,mate. My computer is too low-end to run Skype or anything like that. (80 GB of hard disk).

Anyway,right-click on "Computer" ,click Properties,click Advanced System Settings,click Environment Variables,find 'Path' in system variables and select edit. Add a semicolon at the end,then type:C:\...\platform-tools\;

That should do it.

WHAT IS AMAZON'S PROBLEM!!! WHY CAN'T THEY JUST BE OK WITH AOSP!!! I JUST HATE IT WHEN NOTHING WORKS!!!!

Edit

Hang on. I thought Amazon patched the bootloader in OS version 7.3.0+. Can you try installing 2nd bootloader and recovery without the 7.2.3 downgrade? If it works,yay! If it doesn't,I'll check something with Hashcode and tell you about this idea. I just had.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
If not Skype then any chat would be fine, but then again if you're uncomfortable with the whole "chat walk through thing" I'll drop it.

And Ikr AOSP is the best, dunno why Amazon messes up everything.

Right now I'm just looking for a safe way to get cm11 on my kindle fire HD, and I don't know why nothing works for me... I'm seriously close to giving up but then again CM is too much to just give up like that. If only the stupid boot loader would install...

Just to be safe though I want to install the 7.2.3 boot file in case I get a brick. And I know 100% I will not get a new tablet.

Thanks though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Idea!!!

So,what are we waiting for?? Head over to this thread,download the utility for v7.2.3 and downgrade the system. After that,just flash the freedom boot version 7.2.3 and TWRP. After that,you should be good to go! I'm surprised I didn't notice this before...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFamiliarity:
I thought the problem was in the adb drivers and stuff?.. and is it necessary that I have to downgrade?

I'll try flasher on another computer and let you know..

And I really don't want to flash anything else because I know my OS is already defected.

Thanks, and great idea though :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Well,as far as I know,your fastboot drivers are working,since you can use "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" to get out of Fastboot. And do try in the other computer as well.

A little bit of quick questions..

1. This is 100% safe on a 7.2.4 modded Kindle Fire HD7 2012 right?

2. If I were to download the earliest version, say http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate//kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.2.3.img, would this be fine? Is it compatible with TWRP 2.7? And I'm running 7.2.4, not 7.2.3. o.O

3. So there is no need to flash the 7.2.3 boot right?

Thanks again! Can't wait to try this out today.
