You need to disable driver signature enforcement. Look it up on Google, I don't know the procedure offhand because I don't use windows 8.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank Tovar:
Hello. I know this thread is old but I just stumbled across it and want to restore my mom's Kindle HD 8.9. I was able to install the drivers for Jem-PVT-Prod-04 when it showed really quick on the device manager. When I try the CMD "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" from the command prompt it takes me to the desktop folder where the Zip file is located and I had already unzipped the KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4.

I tried running the SR Tool and my Kindle was off. I had selected Enable Fastboot. When it prompted me to turn on I did and it prompted DAEMON. So nothing was going on So I decided to start from the beginning.

When I plug in the Kindle Windows 10 prompts like it recognizes the device but the JEM PVT is no longer popping up in the Device Manager under OTHER Devices like the first time. I checked the Registry to remove any trace of the JEM and it isn't even in there. I tried to remove other devices.

Sorry for the long story. Can I just use the SR Tool to wipe out the Data and Cache once I redo everything from my second PC and install the Kindle OS from Amazon's website to restore the Device from the loop? It is not blue. Is there another link with step by step instructions or a You Tube Video for noob like me? I used to be good at this but my skills have really regressed.

Thank you

Frank

Hello again. I posted this 4 years ago and did not get a response. I guess I should be a bit more clear. I have a stock Kindle Fire HD 8.9 16gb Wifi version. One day the Kindle just went in to this start up and never loaded. I do not want to modify it with any new roms. Just want to be able to reset it. Can someone please direct me to the correct links with instructions for Windows 10 or Ubuntu. Which ever is the easiest to understand and process. I read some of these posts but I am still confused. Amazon had told me there was no safe mode with the HD 8.9 version so I am trying to understand how the boot loader things work to be able to reset it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I think I can walk you through it.

Basically, you need to flash the generic backups of the partitions.

Boot and system. There is another 2 files. One might be needed, the other is NOT needed.

Do not flash bootblock.

BOOT.img = IF needed.

BootBLOCK = not unless someone (more than 1) tells you to do it and WHY.

Boot.img

System.img

Recovery.img.

Not sure of the order.

KFFA (Kindle Fire First Aid = KFFA ) Should have all 4 files and is either 1st or 2nd easiest to use.

Do you know if your tablet has the last update for that tablet?

KFFA has 3 or more different versions depending on what version of update your tablet is at.

I have the 3 common versions of KFFA, and pretty sure I have the FINAL one already uploaded and shared.

THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM RECOVERY!!! KINDLE FIRE HD 8.9 ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! This is an update to the KFHD_SRTool, now for use with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 This is ONLY for use with 8.9" models, not for use with 7" unless you replace...

MY BAD. The above link is what I am referring to and NOT KFFA.

As you are not and do not want to modify the tablet, then all you need is "our" repair tools to restore to stock. Easy.

And the file I suggested you download is the final / newest of that Page's tool. The top/1st one listed.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awon:
Hi.

I've played around with a few ROMs in the dev section, and everything has been fine.

But lately, I have noticed a strange behavior: both my CPUs are locked at 100%.

So basically, it's always laggy, and the battery life is really poor.

I've tried to restore nandroid, or change ROM, change kernel, even to go back to true stock with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459734 but nothing. My CPUs are still at 100%

I also tried emptying the battery totally, but the problem is still here.

Here some infos from CPUz : http://valid.canardpc.com/a/1gnijk

Do you think it is hardware ?

Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone :)

Saw that various users were asking about this mod (i made also a tutorial also for this mod here) so i decided to make it.

What does, is to convert certain letters. This way, when you writing for example a message in greek or in polish, instead of having 70 characters per message, you will have 160, so you will not have to spend extra money.

Screenshots:

​

P.S. Since i wrote the message in greek i just wanted to make a translation too.

I am just telling a Good morning to everyone and that i don't know what to write to prove that this mod actually work so i write what ever comes to my mind

Download link:

http://d-h.st/tun

Instructions:

1. Download the file

2. Copy it on your phone

3. Now copy the file in system/app and replace the current one

4. Set permissions to rw-r-r

5. Reboot your device

6. Enjoy!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] malx_alves:
Hi DaRk-L0rD.

Thank you very much for this mod.

Although I think that this method to install it is only for rooted devices, right?

Is there any way to install this on my non rooted device?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DaRk-L0rD:
No mate, there isn't.

The only solution you have is to find an ftf file with this option enabled too. Maybe the global one has this option. :)

Ok, thanks for your answer.

I will try to do this with a different ftf file.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dovidhalevi:
There is now an app on Play just for installing CM apps! Those include Apollo, CMFilemanger, DSPManager, etc. New there is a "CameraNext" which is NOT Focal. Says might not work. Does on my phone.

Anything available from this app can be made a user app, taken off system, symlinked away by link2sd. If the app is on system now, i.e. Camera, Messaging, et al, do not install from the app. Instead, force stop the app (avoid FCs after moving), link2sd convert to user app, create links. When flashing newer ROMs, trim the apps made user apps off the /system/app/ before flashing.

The weakness of this is that if the apps were upgraded, one might miss out. To check, compare apk sizes, dates. If seems like newer version, extract them before trimming and try an adb install -r.

This will gain some /system space and som /data space as well. However, the linked dalviks will be a larger total so will not help prevent link2sd "Achilles heel." More system space enables experimentation, placing something new there that needs to be.

I do it using KDE's ark. Have to downgrade to an older version to get it to work because they have not fixed the bugs in newer ones. Pain, but gets it done.

There must be other GUI apps to take care of this, for Android, Linux, Windows.

[HTC Desire X] keoma_ae:
Hello everyone,

my stock rom DX factory-resetted itself after a sudden crash and automatic reboot --> upon boot it ran me through the basic setup procedures again, all settings and apps were gone, all stored messages were gone, etc.

Having lost quite some data that way, I am asking myself three questions:

- How can I prevent this from happening again in the future?

- How can I conveniently backup my data? HTC Sync seems to only offers me to backup my contacts.

- How can I clear my phone memory which is apparently still clogged by the old app data? The apps are not recognized as installed anymore by the system, that way I cant clear them up via the standard "Free up memory"-routines

All the best & thanks a lot for your advice!
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Easiest way would be unlocking the bootloader and installing a recovery. From there, you can do full backups, erase your data partition and restore backups. To save those backups, the best would be to install a micro SD card.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
Have any of you have recessed power button? I replaced my Z2 due to the gap issue on the upper right and the supplier replaced it, the new unit doesn't have the gap issue but the power button is slightly recessed compared to the old Z2. I accepeted the unit but should I be concerned about the power button?

The unit was imported from Taiwan and is it normal that no default songs, images and spiderman trailer are present with a new unit? My unit with the gap issue has the songs, images and spiderman trailer but the new unit don't have unless the supplier did a factory reset.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Now you've mentioned it my power button seems to be recessed compared to my friends Xperia M. Not sure if this is the way it is supposed to be as I have no one with a Z2 to compare with.

There is hardly any button there to press with my thumb so have to use my nail.

No big issue though as I use double tap to wake and screen widget to put the phone to sleep.

Anyway I think they would laugh at me if I went to the store to try and exchange because of a recessed power button!!!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
I hope this is a minor issue but I think this is better than the gap issue. I can still press the button with my thumb, I just hope it won't recess further. My supplier also felt the difference when I showed him both units, of course I don't expect him to know the answer so I just took the new unit. I also use double tap to wake, but which widget shuts down the screen?

I don't think they will laugh at you because the power button of the Xperia lines feels good to press. It so happens our phones are still one of those with QA issues. But I hope they can fix it in case it worsens.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
This is the widget I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget

After looking at some images online it looks as if my button is as it should be. The part you press down is in line with the up part of the volume button. The button doesn't seem as pronounced as on other Xperia phones so am not sure if it is really an issue
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
The power buttons on all Sony phones with this type button are poorly functioning marketing gimmicks. My ZL power button fell out and Sony wouldn't warranty based on "physical damage". Give me the old power button on top any day and thankfully we now have tap to wake.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
For me it's a slight issue as the power button should be more tactile like the previous Z series and Sony should address this issue in case it blows out of proportion again. I also compared two Z2 units as well so it's not a normal thing. But your lock widget suggestion works well so we have a backup solution.

Oh, is there a way to share contact information aside from copy paste to sms? I got spoiled by the contact management of Samsung.:D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maokun:
I received my z2 today and I also have this issue.

I have to press the power button so hard to switch on/off that my index finger is aching now. (better if I use my nail to press.)

is this a normal on z2?

Can you pls let me know if your z2's power button is hard to press? I mean when you press, no feeling of press/click.

I know I can use tap to wake, but I expect and want it to be perfect after spending so much money.

Should I send it back or live with it?

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] spexwood:
In Jellybean, I was easily able to go to System/usr/keylayout and modify the gpio-keys, sec_e-pen, and sec_touchscreen .kd files in order to swap the functionality of the Menu and Back capacitive buttons. (In other words, make the Back button open the menus, and the Menu button go back).

I can't figure out how to do it in KitKat though. It seems that the files have changed or moved.

Anyone know how to do this?

And in case someone asks:

Having the Back button on the left side just feels more natural to me. My phone has it like that too, and it's actually confusing when switching between it and my tablet. I keep pressing the wrong buttons :silly:

EDIT: Oh, and in case it matters, I'm using the P600 version of xKat.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wolfsummers:
I have an htc one as stated above. It is rooted and has s-off but at the time things went wrong I was running my stock rom.

Yesterday when I went to pause my music my screen froze. I tried turning my phone off and when I attemtep to reboot it all I got was the htc white logo screen. It will remain on this screen until I turn the phone off.

I can enter the bootloader but the options don't work (reboot only turns the phone off, factory rest freezes the bootloader) I have tried everything to fix this, from locking the bootloader and using an RUU exe (locking the bootloader failed) to reflashing the recovery (gave me the error "remote image update error).

The thing that I really don't understand is why this happened, I wasn't even doing anything and my phone just crapped out on me.

I need this phone back and I don't know what to do, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wolfsummers:
Oh, and the best part is that all of this happened AFTER I already filed a warranty claim for the phones faulty mic. My new device comes tomorrow and if I send them this one back I'll be out 600 bucks.

Is there any way to fix this?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wolfsummers:
Additionally, everything is still unlocked (bootloader says unlocked, still have s-off) and there is no tamper evidence either.

Hi all, I am all confused about which Windows Mobile 5 ROM version to load to my Blueangle. I read forums about these different ROMs but I got more confused. Which ROM do you reccomend?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Biohead:
Helmi_C AKU3.2 v1.3 beta is currently the best one out in general.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheSanitarium:
Can you tell me more about this ROM's performance? What do you think when you compare it with wm2003se? Do you think it is worth to upgrade to wm5 from wm2003se? Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Biohead:
I really dislike alot of the early WM5 roms because I thought they were unbearably slow so I kept with 2003SE until about a month ago.

Then an AKU2.3 ROM was released which I tested and it was muc quicker than the previous offerings. I'd be willing to say Helmi's AKU3.2 ROM is just as quick as 2003SE is, and its prettier :lol:

It's definately worth considering about upgrading now.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheSanitarium:
Thanks my friend. I'll give it a try. Are there any features (features of wm2003se and my pda2k) that I won't be able to use when I upgrade to helmi's wm5?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mcs1:
Hi there,

I would like tyo download WM5 BA ROM, but I'm affraid, there is no posibility to download any ROM from ftp server.

Dowloading stopped after 10 MB...

Please tell me, how can I download ROM....

Thx,

MCS1
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MHoefler:
My experience with WM5 was not so good. It's so much slower than 2003SE! I recently downgraded and it's like night and day! 2003SE feels about 100 times faster than WM5 - especially all phone functions! It takes several seconds until a WM5 BA starts ringing, picking up takes eternally, so does hanging up, etc. Everything you do during normal use is much slower as well. It was really annoying using my BA with WM5, and now, back on 2003SE it's fantastic again.

If you don't desperately need any of the new functions of WM5 (like stereo bluetooth headsets and push email), I strongly recommend sticking with 2003SE!

Regards,

Martin
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fa147:
Hi, I just recently converted and I am loving it all the way. Go with Helmi's AKU3.2 ROM as it has given me very little problems, other that the need to just make sure that I read and understand the guide first.

I did find the phones operating speed somewhat slow, but then that is to be expected from a installation that was not meant for the phone. Same thing happens when you upgrade a PC witha new OS and it goes a bit slower. But what you can do is to help it a bit and what I did was to spend around £14 on XCPUScalar and overclocked the internal chip from the standard 400mhz to 530mhz. It is so easy to do, all you do is to install the application and then slide the slider to the required speed. It does mean that my phone battery does go quicker, and I have been trying out different scenarios and whereas during normal use, ie 45 minutes of mp3 listening in the morning and then again in ther evening while on journey to work, and around 10-20 calls a day, the battery used was around 75-85, now it completely drains my battery unless I use my spare.

The best thing to do is to invest in a USB data cable which charges the phone at the same time and even if you have a laptop, you can still charge the phone during the time that it is in the cradle.

The XCPUScalar does have a dynamic speed changing capapbility which basicaly changes the speed depending on CPU percentage used, but I found it slightly sluggish to kick in and just so much easier to stick it onto the 530mhz and just take my spare battery with me.

Now that I have it at 530mhz it works even better that I had hoped, all the functions and compatibility and even works faster that my previous 2003se.

Be careful thought that the process of upgrade may take a few times to get right, so make sure that you have either the whole day to spend on the upgrade or you have a spare phone to hand.

Extra tip, and very important, dont use a external USB hub to plug your phone as when you come to upgrade it gets stuck on the OS Upgrade screen and like me you will have a heart-attack until you figure out what the problem is...

Hope that helps.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheSanitarium:
Thanks for all answers. I upgraded to Helmi's AKU 3.2 and happy with it. I agree that phone feature gets slower but I can live with that. Other features are working normally and are not slower than 2003se. Maybe using XCPUScalar speeds up the machine but are you sure that using this porgramm will not harm the cpu? If yes, I can also try it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Midget_1990:
afaik intel's xscalar cpu's were designed to run @ higher speeds and designed to be scaled up and down to save battery, but microsoft in thier infinate wisdom decided they couldnt be arsed.

So long as you dont enable the 'show frequencies above 500mhz' then afaik your phone is in no danger, however i would recommend enabling that and setting max speed @ 530 (but scaling) as sometimes thos extra 50mhz really help. meyself and a lot of other people have had no problems with it at this speed (i know black6spdz runs one of his @ 590mhz, and thats not dead yet :wink:)

I have just purchased a HTC One M7 and have a few issues with the PhoneBook not syncing with my car.
