Can anyone tell or show me how to get fast boot working with my device

My set up is Windows 8.1 and ViperDNA 4.0 with newest android sdk. I have working ADB just not working fastboot.

I need fastboot in order to flash new radios:victory::crying:

What radio are you trying to flash?

This one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t= but I can't even get fastboot to work. If I can get that to work then I know what to do from there.
[HTC Droid DNA] coolgare:
Running into the same problem with fastboot. I just clean installed a win8.1 laptop & desktop and now cannot use fastboot on either. Adb commands work fine.

I think my problem is the PC's are not seeing the phone correctly when it is connected with fastboot usb.

Device Manager shows "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)"

But when the phone is in recovery or booted regularly, I see 'Android Device' show up in device manager. This is completely gone when in Bootloader.

I saw a posting about someone who installed PDAnet and that seemed to put good drivers on. I tried with no luck.

Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas? I have a feeling it's driver-related on the M$ side...
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Can't see nothing. What's the version of the radio?

Just flash Santos firmware zip in recovery. It has the newest kitkat radio and no need to do it in fastboot.

You can't flash radios through recovery, has to be done in ruu mode via fastboot
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Wrong....you can. I have the latest and last 3 radios on a zip I made and I can flash them in recovery. I've been back and forth testing what's the best radio in my area.

I made some flashable zips for the radios. Flash them in recovery. NEVER flash the same radio on top of each other. I flash back and forth between radios to see what gives me the best results.

Thanks so much! I read a post in the viper 4 thread that said we couldn't do that but I think they may have been talking about firmware or something I dunno. I'm gonna give these a try!

I would still like to get fastboot working though
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Ever since I got windows 8.1, fastboot won't recognize my phone either. I'm on the 3.06 firmware and want to flash 4.09
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Just flash Santos zip. It will update your firmware to kitkat and the new radio. Thats what I did. Its in his Radio/ROM thread

HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] -DroidIsDNA-:
Is there a way to flash the firmware in recovery? Probably not. I'm wary of just flashing the 4.09 baseband :/
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Its really easy. What are you afraid off? And no it can't be done in recovery =\

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForestHunter:
Hello everyone,

Last week I upgraded my S4 to a brand new S5 on T-Mobile and currently it's stock and unrooted. It works great, except it won't automatically connect to WiFi. Every time I encounter a known WiFi it'll say Sign in Required. I'll press Connect and it'll then connect and function perfectly.

This smells like a software bug to me, but then I'd expect more posts on this topic (I didn't see any posts on XDA, and posts elsewhere were unhelpful).

What I'd ultimately like to know is if this is a hardware defect and I should get my phone replaced before it's too late, or if this is something that a software update (or rooting and flashing) will fix. Or of course it could be neither...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xananax:
I have the same probblem and I am dying for a solution. I've spent hours googling and testing different things to no avail.

I am going to try to bring as much detail as I can, hopefully someone can pitch in.

Things I have read might work:

"forgetting" the connection and recreating it

Turning off and turning back on

Turning off, removing the battery

Turning off, removing the battery and the sim and waiting a minute (seems like voodoo to me)

Factory reset

I've tried everything, bar the factory reset which I am reluctant to do, specially when people's answers on forums said it wasn't a solution.

To try and shed more light, I would also add that:

It does this with any network (so it's not channel/router issue)

It does this consistently (and since I got my phone)

It finds networks, but just won't connect

It always connects fine if I pick the network (so it's not a distance/bad reception issue)

My phone is unrooted and stock and I have no weird apps (only popular/regular ones, social media, news, and so on)

My options are set correctly (notifications for open networks is checked and wifi is on)

I really hope someone can help as I rely on wifi a lot, and this is kind of a deal-breaker for me.

I have been having the same issue. I can't get any answers either. It really is frustrating. I am going to keep trying to find out. When I called the T-Mobile store they said that I could bring it back w/in the 14 days & replace it and I may do that if I can't get an answer for the problem!

My wife has the same issue with not auto connecting. She has a AT&T S5 that is not rooted....thanks to AT&T putting her in prison lockdown. I think it could be something with the last update because her phone used to auto connect just fine and now it doesn't. The strange thing is that she just now noticed it not connecting and she had took an update that was a few weeks ago or whenever it actually was and now we don't really know for sure if it's really just now an issue or has been since the update....imo I think it could be something with the update.

I have an S5 as well with no issues, but then again, I have the TMO that's rooted and carrier unlocked running custom rom.....thanks TMO for not being D***'s like at&t
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarriachi:
Solution!

Long story short, there's a problem with Android and DHCP. Specifically, an IP associated with a router doesn't die when it should and attempting another connection goes back to this IP instead of using the correct (new) IP.

The good news is to forget the problematic wifi connection, head into /data/misc/dhcp/ and remove the files, reboot then connect to wifi. That flushes the DHCP lease information and life should be good.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgdart:
I seem to be having this problem now, however I tried doing what you suggested and I don't have the path you mentioned, how do you get to it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarriachi:
use a program like "root explorer" or "ES file explorer" and navigate to your root folder ( / )

then follow the path /data/misc/dhcp/ , you will find the files i mentioned there.

Hey I'm having the same issue, only with my work open wifi. The phone will be aware there is a wifi and it tells me to sign in. I go to the wifi settings and tell it to connect it does, but if it drops for any reason it won't automatically connect again, I have to go through the same thing every time.

I read this in a previous post:

"use a program like "root explorer" or "ES file explorer" and navigate to your root folder ( / )

It works fine on my home network and others that I have a username and password for. The issue is WIFI hotspots at coffee shops and work and such, where I don't have access to the router settings.

I have an app that does an auto login when it recognizes that you need to sign in once it connects to wifi, and it works when I tell the phone to connect, but the phone will never connect automatically - I have to go into the WIFI settings and tell it to connect manually every time.

I have the 'Smart Network Switch" unchecked, and I have 'forgotten' and reconnected several times but it still happens.

As others have said there are these stickers you can put on the home button to help raise it up. When I bought a Spigen case it came with these "jelly buttons" that came in 3 different colors. But I'm sure a simple search on Amazon/eBay will give you what you want :).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rhesus98:
I upgraded to the S5 with JUMP and for the first week had no issues. However, over the past 2 weeks, touchwiz stops responding and freezes at random times. The only way to reset the phone is by battery pull. The shutdown menu pops up when I hold the power button, but the touchscreen doesn't respond to my command to reboot or shutdown. I can launch google now and Svoice by the home button, but neither app understands the restart phone command.

Google Now: "restart" and "restart phone" commands search for restart on the google search engine

Svoice: "restart" - There is nothing to restart, "restart phone" searched web, "reboot" replies: "OK, cancelled"

Over the past 3 days the freezing happens daily, and today it happened twice. Getting a bit frustrated

I did not root the phone, not knowing if there will be a fix to reset Knox (kind of defeats the purpose of subscribing to Jump if I have to pay an additional $175 to Assurance and half of the value of the phone ($330 + $175) for the next upgrade next year.

I'm thinking some of the bloatware has to do with this. I'm using "autorun manager" to minimize the number of apps that autostart but without a rooted phone some apps can't be stopped from starting up.

Phone has all official available OTA updates and has not been modified..... yet..... kinda losing my patience, first apps can't write to extSD card, now this... pulling battery in front of my iphone user friends...... didn't have these issues my previously rooted galaxy phones once I got rid of the crapware..

Any thoughts?

Uninstall the Autorun Manager! KitKat manages memory VERY well on its own, no need for that program, and it might actually be causing the issue.

Don't know if you have power saving on.. if you do it restricts the cpu depending on if you have it set up that way and sometimes, at least for me when I was on stock, the phone would run horrible. BUT, you could have a faulty software if you did the official Ota update.. sometimes things go wrong, very rarely though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Aou:
I thought about it for a long time: to root, or not to root. I'm also on the JUMP program, and I'm planning to turn in my device after 1yr, whenever The Next Big Thing is Here™. I'm banking on them taking my warranty-void (KNOX-tripped) hardware for the trade, and they had better not give me any grief about it.

My reasoning? After 1yr, the warranty is expired anyway. After 1 year, it should make no difference whether the warranty is void, expired, or never present to begin with. If the handset is in good working order (e.g. the typical no-liquid-or-physical-damage-and-powers-on), then I expect they'll take it back.

I'm not necessarily suggesting you do the same, but I figured I'd share my reasoning. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rhesus98:
No I did not set that as the default nor have I experimented with this feature. Are folks finding it worth switching to this new feature?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rhesus98:
To root or not to root. That's a great question. I have seen some posts about this and whether folks have been able to return a modded phone. Some posts claim they can but these companies are looking for a reason not to exchange the phone or for a reason to make you pay more money. I think it's naive to think that Tmobile hasn't caught on to it and a big leap of faith to assume they're not going to make you pay for a modded phone. With the galaxy S4 that was not an issue (I never accepted the knox update). It seems like the Note 3 has a software mod for resetting the knox counter. If this could be found for the galaxy, then I'm all ready for the root. Otherwise I guess I'll just be patient and wait it out.

Just to provide an update, I looked at my free storage and it was only 1GB (had offline storage of a reference book)

I deleted a bunch of files and freed up total of 3 Gigs. It hasn't crashed yet..

Another gripe at Samsung and Google: The former for only offering 16GB (this was not an issue with the GSIII) and at Google who by not allowing apps to write to external card have limited the usefulness of using an external card for data storage.

I'll update to post to indicate that this may have been a limited storage issue or if it recurs, I'll probably end up trying to uninstall Autorun
[Zooper Widget General] jlongrc:
So I've created a Zooper skin apk and when I test it on other devices, the text (particularly the calendar events) end up skewed way off of the rectangles I intend for them to superimposed on.

Here's how it looks on my tablet (similar results on friend's Samsung GS3):

This one was much closer, but in this case the scaling was off.

I changed the alignment for the larger widget's calendar events to "center left" which improved things, but the scaling got me again.

I'm most concerned with the alignment issue, which I might have sorta figured out, but generally speaking it is concerning to me that the widgets all look different on each device. Is there a better way to design them to avoid this?

This is my first "review," so please go easy on me if I did something wrong.

I found Halo "Premium Grade Screen Protectors" for the S5 the other day and ordered them. I just put one on following the method here. I have never put on a screen protector before this one (the salesman at the store put the one on my old phone) but have to say that it was fairly easy. Overall, for the price paid, I can say that these are pretty nice screen protectors.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tdamocles:
I purchased a used ZU c6806 for ATT off of swappa. Right off the bat I could not get cell network to connect for voice. I'm coming from an ATT note 3 FYI. Well, I called ATT to see if I needed to do anything to make the change but they said I could just insert the SIM from the Note 3 and I would get voice(at least.) It still gave a fit and it was getting late so I put it aside. Later the next day I tried again and it worked, so I thought. Went a day using it and I lost cell signal and could not get it back. Is there something here that I am missing that I could try to regain signal? The phone sees that there is no SIM inserted and knows when one is inserted. Could there just be bum radios on this unit? In the mean time I updated to 757 from 4.2.2 with no change in the no signal issue. I see in the older firmware the network operators can be chosen but on kit kat I don't have that option in the menu.

thanks,
