[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elemeno0pee:
Alright guys... I've been trying to do this myself for days. Out of no where, my KF 1st gen just got stuck at the "kindle fire" logo. I never rooted it. I never did anything to it. I searched Google and found that this is a common problem with many options to fix. Here I am days later, and I've tried EVERYTHING. I literally cannot find a thread anymore with an option I haven't tried.

I have Windows 8 and I got the drivers installed using the force unsigned drivers stuff. I ended up getting to the point where I can see "Android ADB Interface" and sometimes "Android Composite ADB Interface" in my device manager, with no exclamation points. You'd think I was good to go at that point, but when I use "adb devices" (after kill-server) -- My device isn't listed. I've uninstalled the drivers countless times. I've use KFU. I've tried the Kindle Unbrick Utility v1.1. I've installed the drivers manually over and over and over. NOTHING I do can get the device found.

I even purchased a factory cable. It arrived today, and it doesn't help at all. I found "firekit" and I put Ubuntu on a USB drive. Same outcome... device not found.

I'm losing my mind over here. I cannot figure this out and I promise you... I have tried everything. I hate to start my own threads to ask questions because 99.99% of the time someone else has already had your problem, but I'm so defeated I just have no other choice at this point.

I'm begging for help! :crying:

edit: I just decided to start messing with KFU to see what would happen (despite the ADB Status: Offline message). Doing certain things like telling it to reboot to fastboot mode returns a "device not found". However, telling it to reboot to recovery actually made it reboot. So then I just decided to select option #2 "install permanent root" and then it rebooted and I see "kindle fire" with the blue fire logo. It said "device not found" but it still did that anyways. Currently waiting to see what happens... I figure it can't get any worse than I already am so I just started clicking ****, haha.

edit 2: I literally have no idea wtf just happened, but I just stumbled my way very messily through some stuff that seemed to partially work. My ADB Status said "online" for a second, but it's back offline :( I'm also in TWRP now, on my KF. I guess I moved forward, somehow. Going to do more research on what to do from this point.

I'm on twrp 2.6.3.1 and I don't plan on going back to a stock rom, since I've already gone done this path. I'll see if I can get CM11 on here. I feel like something is still a bit off, but I'm trying my best :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elemeno0pee:
Is it possible to flash CM11 without loading it to the internal SD card first? I have no way of doing that because the KF currently just hangs at the orange "Kindle Fire" boot logo when I go into normal mode. I tried the Kindle Unbrick Utility's "Stuck at logo" option but it fails

edit: nevermind, I just realized I can mount from TWRP. Durrrrr

edit 2: sweet baby jesus I did it! I'm on CM11. I honestly have no idea why it worked :) Of course I am working on this for 5+ days and the second I finally make a post, I get it working.

Hey everyone,

I'm having problems with my i-mate JASJAR. It has stock, updated firmware and is running really well. The only real problem that I have is that I can't uninstall any software. The error message I get is:

"<Program Name> was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"

This goes for ANY program. If I try uninstalling from ActiveSync, it churns and works for a few moments, and then just goes away. There is no uninstall of the program.

If anyone can lend assistance that would be great.

Thanks
[General Topics] levenum:
Sorry, I don't remember the link, but if you look in the Prophet forum, there was a thread on this exact problem.

Several solutions were offered, please use the search.
[General Topics] matt1971:
Hi,

Have had this on the Jasjar as well.

What you need to do is soft reset your device - then uninstall.

When you receive the message "Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"always say no to removing it - as this will remove the log containing the list of files and locations from the original install.

Another note is that if the program you are uninstalling has a today plugin - always uncheck the item first before uninstalling/performing a soft reset to uninstall.

I could be playing a demo of a game and not like it. I then go straight to the remove programs list and i receive the error message....if i leave the device for a while or launch another program i can sometimes uninstall otherwise a soft reset always cures it.

Hope this helps.

Matt
[General Topics] lirathal:
Thanks for the responses. I did use the search function but couldn't find anything appropriate. I'll be more vigilant in my searches.

Thanks for the soft reset advice. I'll check it out as well and report back.

Thanks :)
[General Topics] lirathal:
I did a reset and still didn't work. I then went the next step and put it in 'safe mode' (SBP Pocket Plus) and still the same problem.
[General Topics] ahiemstra:
Same here

I have exactly the same issue.

It seems that uninstall doesnt work. It doesnt delete the files from the file system. Doesnt matter if it is Storage or SD. When you re-install the program, it doesnt install, because there are files already there.

The only thing that helps is manually remove the files from the file system. But that is quite a hassle for every program you de-install.

Is there anybody who knows how to make the uninstall work successfully?
[HTC One Max] mikekoz:
I just got an HTC One Max and love it! I am getting pinged every time I turn it on to run the KitKat 4.4.2 update. Normally, I would just update it right away, but from what I understand, there is a bug in 4.4.2 that may drain the battery very quickly. The bug has something to do with a camera process running on the system. Have any of you updated your Max, and have you experienced this bug? I can find very little feedback on people's experience with KitKat on the HTC One Max, maybe because it just rolled out to the end users, or maybe because it is not a real popular phone! Not every body is crazy like me and wants a phone on steroids!!! :laugh: Thank you for any feedback you can provide!
[HTC One Max] jerverg:
No battery drain here whatsoever. Only issue I hate is that I cant move files to ext SD Card or even delete anything in it. Have to plug it to the pc which is quite annoying.
[HTC One Max] afuller42:
There's a fix on here (available in play store for free) to fix the sd card thing. http://android.nextapp.com/site/

I'm on the new update now, I noticed there seems to bit a bit more drain than I had on 4.3. But I also am on a different version of stock Rom. It's not notiable really though and still get great life. I work a 8 hr shift and will be at 96-98% with light use/ internet radio on the drive there and back.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
been on kitkat for a month now. i don't remember any incidents of battery drain.

You may want to S-OFF before you upgrade. latest HBoot does not seem to allow S-off
[HTC One Max] japodude:
latest hboot from update can be soff'd using firewater

i have t6ul international hboot 2.49
[HTC One Max] mafyas:
SD Card write issue can be solved by root access and little mod. Battery is not draining like water but noticeable faster drain compare to 4.3 JB. Still enough for heavy use 24+hours.. 4.3 JB last for 30+ hours.

Agreed! mine also T6UL international latest hboot. no problem s-off-ing using firewater. succeed in 30second flawlessly. :victory:
[HTC One Max] mikekoz:
I think I will just wait to upgrade this phone. After reading a bit on the web, I see no advantage to Kitkat over 4.3. I also do not want to root or unlock the phone while it is still under warranty. Now if I could just keep the upgrade message from popping up! ;P

No battery drain on this end. I'm thinking some people just want to complain. That being said I haven't run scientific tests or anything.

Hi there,

I really hope I haven't ruined my son's Galaxy Y.

I've followed all the instructions from several different threads and have just "flashed" an new rom (Cyanogenmod 7) onto it and I'm now sitting here with it switched on but only the front screen (saying Samsung Galaxy). It's been like it for 10 minutes. Should it take this long??

Feeling a bit sick that I've ruined his phone for him rather than making it better.

What rom are you trying to flash??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] yellowplanet:
original reason for trying to do this was because the internal memory on this phone is awfully low. I was going to try to allocate some of the sdcard to it.

Having never done anything like this before I've had to read through lots of different threads to try to feel confident enough to try.

Use rom toolbox pro (paid) in playstore to uninstall unwanted system apps. But, don't try to uninstall apps that you don't know what it used for :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
install link2sd (playstore)

you can use that app to uninstall system apps[

note to uninstall system apps you need to be rooted

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

did you convert your system to ext and install the common kernel for cm7?

if you just flashed the rom it wont boot without doing the above

cyanogenmod roms (cm7/9/10/11 etc) require you to be on an ext system partition

stock roms use rfs partition so you need to convert your system partition to ext

you also need a kernel that can boot ext partitions (stock kernel can only boot rfs)

therefore you also need to flash Bieltv.3 kernel

my instructions for installing cm7 are

and the meta-inf folder mentioned you can download from

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50908670&postcount=27

if all else fails simply flash stock rom via odin which links to the firmware and guide are in my signature
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] :
Root ur phone , Install titanium backup pro(paid) and freeze system apps and.uninstall whats not needed , Note that uninstalling system apps will clear space( from ROM not internal memory. There are other apps like bloat remover, link2sd which u can use if you can use too. You wont be having problems with the internal memory unless you fill too many apps that cant be moved to sd card, For ex. Titanium Backup is 8mb in size but when u install it only 2mb internal memory is used remaining is moved to sd card.. however apps like whatsapp cant be moved to sd card which then end up eating alot of space.

[General Questions and Answers] TheUnknownThing:
Hey guys!

Now Im will be upgrading to a new device but not sure which one to go for. Im thinking of picking the Moto G hence its cheap price and awesome display. I know it has cortex A7 processors but that will be fine. Now the other device is a Galaxy S2. The S2 is one superior device. Great display, awesome GPU (Mali 400) and a exceptional camera.

Brand new verizon moto x on 4.4 Locked boot and going to attempt root, can I copy my 4.4 to reapply so i dont have to take the OTA 4.4 when I get to that step?

BTW if anyone is interested design your moto X is still shipping with 4.4 not 4.4.2 I ordered one 2 weeks ago and it came with 4.4 so i ordered another for my brother and it had 4.4 also. If you order it from Verizon's website you will get 4.4.2 though and will not be able to root.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
I don't think so. You need to follow the instructions to the letter.

Even if you could backup 4.4....restoring it would erase what you did to root 4.2.2. That's why it is how it is. You take the ota and keeps root. Restoring a backup wipes everything.

Bought a used G2, it is unrooted and running stock 12B. The standard procedure for booting into recovery is to go into hard reset mode and continue. If there's a custom recovery phone will boot into that.

But if there isn't, it will actually do a full reset and lose all my data which I don't want to.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJFinelli2:
I am interested in the Sony Z tablet. No where near me has the tablet on display for me to play with before I buy..

I been everywhere trying to find one and no where.

Questions:

Why would I buy the 32gb over the 16gb?

It has micro SD, can't I just put a 64gb in and have plenty of space ?

My main use will be for photos, I own a Sony A7 and want a tablet for travel and photo storage to show while on the road.

How is the photo library for photographers ?

Are there any cool apps for photo storage and showing off?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I'd say to get, if you have the money, the 32 Gb model + a 32 or 64 Gb Micro SD. With incomming Kit Kat Micro SD restrictions, you won't be fully able to use all of the SD power, so a lot of internal memory is a good, if you install lots of apps...

If you are shorter on money or won't use it much for apps, mostly media, get a 16 + 64 Gb combo.

About image viewing, the Sony Album app is pretty gorgeous and really smooth, and an incoming update will make that even better. It's not the very best to organize everything (a file manager would be the best for that), but the UI is gorgeous and clean. The screen is really gorgeous and colors don't change even at extreme angles.

So, bought my Note 3 when my contract was up on my Note 2.

Played with it for about a week, then decided to re-root like I did on my Note 2.

Downloaded the Kingo root, as it looked the simplest and then installed safestrap to eventually look at a rom.

Booted Safestrap into recovery, then set my phone next to me and started watching Role Models again. I must have layed on my phone weird or hit some buttons. Because only a Galaxy Note 3 screen is up with a big CUSTOM at the bottom.

Not too sure what I did, but I have tried almost every method of recovery to get the thing working again. So far, we are at hour 12 and I am at a complete loss. Every method either fails or says it worked, all to the same end. My phone will go to either the Download (Odin) screen, Recovery or the GN3 Logo.
