Even if you have any anti theft installed in your android phone and lose your phone , the stealer can easily wipe off everything by accessing bootloader with volume keys. By this way you cannot track your phone.:crying:

Bootloader is written specific to the hardware by manufacturers but there are number of open source bootloaders like u boot:). Now my question is how to put password for bootloader?, What programming language is used in bootloaders.?Where can I find source code?

Try searching from /system. theres used two languages in bootloader, java and java C.

Hope someone can help me with this.

I am helping my friend to get his i-mate jamin to connect to a wireless router. This router was provided by Telstra in Australia and its on cable.

The router have a 128bit WEP key which requires me to put in 26 characters, but the wi-fi of the jamin only allows me to put in max 19 characters.

I am very new to all this and I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Unfortunately, I already tried to change the WEP key for the router to 64bit but it won't let me.

The router is a Motorola SURFboard SBG900.

The i-mate jamin device information:

ROM version: 2.13.9.23 WWE

ROM date: 2/23/06

Radio version: 1_02.20.21

Protocol: 4.1.13.9

ExtROM version: 2.13.9.122

Is there anywhere that I can get a new driver for the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter so that I can upgrade it and make it accept 128bit WEP?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks so much.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arman68:
I am in the same situation with one of my FireTV box. What caused it was one of the SQLite editor I used to explore the settings database: it changed the permissions on the files. I only realized the problem once I rebooted it :(

On the other box, I used the SQLite3 command line client from TitaniumBackup instead, and directly did my edit as root. No problem there.

Unfortunately, I am not in US; so if there is a way to do a hard reset, I would be glad to know.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
Be interesting to know if there's a stock recovery, and if there is, if it's looking for an update.zip file on a thumb drive in the USB slot. We can tell that USB slot is getting polled at start time by the way that certain connections to it will hang the device.

If it were me, I'd try is to obtain a 1 gig or so USB drive, format it fat32 and copy the OTA update to it.

- Leave it zipped.

- Name it update.zip

- pull the plug on the FTV

- put the USB stick in

- power it on and leave it for a bit. Watch it - is the power LED going out? If so, it may doing a recovery install of the signed OTA and rebooting - many Android devices will install anything on the sdcard called Update.zip if it's there at boot time.

The idea is that if there's a stock recovery it may be able to see that USB storage and read the OTA file as a recovery source.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
There might be something to this idea. There was a review posted on Amazon and the reviewer had a Best Buy box that wouldn't go past the Amazon screen. They said Amazon told them how to use the USB to get it to work. A couple people asked for more info but they never responded. I have tried going back through the reviews to see if they ever did, but there are almost 6000 reviews.

i have only sideloaded a few apps , no root or root attempt was made before issues.

i have a similar boot issue ( stops at amazon first screen and led flashes white) . i believe my remote is fried , batteries heated up while pressing the home button to pair remote , i removed battery and found the plastic wrap on one starting to burn . i believe remote is toast .

can anyone verify that the boot will stop until remote is paired ?

ps : amazon phone help mentioned reset on remote was hold right arrow key ( ie right circle ) and home button for 10 secs , to reset just the remote ,. nothing helped mine , i say its dead. another is on the way ,. he also said the lack of pairing with remote should not have stopped the ftv boot , it should have gone past first amazon screen . other than restarting the ftv by disconnecting power he offered no other reset method .

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arman68:
I have reviewed the logs of what I did, and it was my fault:

I used a non-root SQLite editor, which means I had to give -rw-rw-rw- access to the database folder and content, which I did.

With the SQLite editor, all I did was to explore the database structure.

Once done, I restored the original permissions, fist -rw------- (chmod 660) on the database folder and database file itself.

Finally I restored read-only -r-------- (chmod 600) to the extra files (settings-*), and that was my mistake: I did not notice my chmod line had 2 entries, with the first one being the database folder (wrong) :(

If only I would have root write access to the file system with adb, I could easily fix it, with a simple chmod 660 on the database folder.

In hindsight, I was very careless to do that directly on the FireTV; I should have taken a copy of settings.db, and explore it on the PC.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
[MENTION=223391]Fire[/MENTION]tv: please review post #15 in this thread, and consider adjusting the post on your website accordingly - when I saw your site, it was stating that adjusting values in the settings databases risked changing the permissions on those databases.

That does not appear to be the case, but rather reflected confusion on the part of the person who was doing the settings changes and permissions changes from the shell at the same time.

I haven't seen a db editor that changes the permissions of the dbs themselves....'

Back to softbricked devices: I see that Amazon sells a thing called a "fastboot cable" which in theory forces the Kindle Fires to reboot into fastboot mode if attached to a computer. I'd be interested in what one of these did in conjunction with an A to A converter, since I haven't seen fastboot mode available yet (that I know of)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireTVnews.com:
I've definitely been tempted to remove the warning about SQLite databases after reading arman68's update. I haven't, however, because I've been individually contact by someone stating they used a free SQLite app from the Google Play store which caused them to lose their ethernet connection and soft-bricked after a restart.

I have gone ahead and updated the post to reduce the concern and stated that the SQLite Editor app everyone is using here seems to be safe.

Also, a fastboot connection can be achieved with any A to A USB cable. You simply need to boot the Fire TV while it's connected to a computer and it will boot into fastboot. I've done this myself with a Mac (have not tried a PC). The Fire TV displays a white Amazon logo on the screen and stays there until you reboot it without the cable plugged in. There doesn't seem to be much that can be done with the locked bootloader, but then again, I'm not the one to know as that is all new territory for me. Got any suggestions on things to try with fastboot?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
I didn't mean to say you can't hose your device by changing settings with an editor, just that I don't think any of them change permissions. so using them to look but not change is pretty safe, IMO, and I'd hate to see folks discouraged from doing so.

I'm surprised that there's not a better onboard recovery on this device, or at least not one anyone's figured out how to get moving. I'dthink it'd be cheaper for Amazon if the devices had a viable recovery, or if there was a solid reset to factory which actually did a full reinstall of the OS.

Interesting about the fastboot mode - when i connect the FTV to my laptop using an A to A cable I don't get a device recognized in fastboot, but it may be down to not having a driver for it.

Are you using windows? Try installing the Kindle Fire usb drivers via the Android SDK Manager. Instructions can be found here.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
I'd like to know what that person was referring to as well.

For other devices you have to be booted into recovery, and pick the sideload option before you can sent the update with adb sideload update.zip. FireTV update has no such options, and as far as I know can only installs updates from /cache/name_of_ota_update.bin, which is only writable by root, and is of no use when you can't boot the rom. Also the stock recovery doesn't seem to respond to any adb commands, either by A to A usb cable, or over IP address.

entering Recovery Mode and Factory Reset the Amazon Fire TV

source: www . aftvnews . com /how-to-unbrick-by-entering-recovery-mode-and-factory-reset-the-amazon-fire-tv/

If you’ve managed to brick your Fire TV or for whatever reason are unable to get to the settings menu to perform a factory reset, here is how to enter recovery mode without fully booting into the Fire TV’s operating system.

To do this you will need a USB keyboard with a “Print Screen” or “SysRq” key. Mac keyboards generally do not have this key so will not work. Before you get started, plug the USB keyboard into the Fire TV and unplug the Fire TV’s power. Now plug the power in and while the Fire TV is booting, you need to press the following 3 keys simultaneously: Alt + Print Screen + i

Pressing those 3 keys sends a “kill all tasks” command to the Fire TV. If you kill all tasks during boot up enough times, the Fire TV will enter Androids default Recovery Mode. So after pressing Alt + Print Screen + i, the Fire TV will flicker and restart the boot up process. While it’s trying to boot up the second time, press Alt + Print Screen + i again. A good time to press it is as soon as you see the colorful Fire TV logo. Repeat this process several times, pressing Alt + Print Screen + i during boot, until the Fire TV displays the message “The System Update was not successful.” When you see this message, you are now in Recovery Mode. Note that depending on your TV, the colorful Fire TV logo may appear off screen, so you’ll need to guess when it appears.

Once on the “Update was not successful” screen, press the Home key on your keyboard. This should bring up a menu in the upper left corner. If a menu doesn’t appear, press Alt + Print Screen + i one more time. The screen will go black and then return to the “System Update was not successful” screen. Pressing the Home key should now definitely bring up the menu. Once you see the menu, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight the factory reset option and hit enter.

So, the other day i have started on rooting the AFTV of a friend of mine. i rooted mine a while ago and was comfortable enough to do it for someone else.

was following the AFTVnews.com guide (very well organized site and i would say a wiki for all aftv users). the initial version on the box was 51.1.0.1. have succesfuly rooted it, installed customer recovery, busybox, bootmenu, etc, all as per the guide. have upgraded it to 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated succesfuly as well again using aftvnews.com after which have installed the busybox again. now here the strange things happen. have decided to keep upgrading it to the latest version 51.1.5.0_515030720, according to the description i could upgrade straight to this version from 51.1.4.0_514006420. followed the same upgrade procedure and after the reboot in CWM i get the Amazon Fire TV logo and doesnt do anything, left it for about 10 min - nothing. power cycled it still the coloured logo. which means somehow it got software bricked.

started to google the ways of unbrick it and followed the procedure with the USB keyboard, it worked well for me. i got in to CWM recovery and did factory reset after which reboot. no luck, still showing the coloured logo.

got back in to recovery using the same USB keyboard method and did again factory reset after which decided to install the 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated custom ROM again which was already on my sdcard.

installed successfully, rebooted and started to configure the brand new aftv box - language, network, register, etc. after all this got on home screen, system to find out that it has the stock 51.1.4.0 version (51.1.4.0_user_514006420).

tried towelroot but obviously no luck, it sais your phone is not supported. so i guess that's it, no more root for me.

where the hell i missed it? i followed every step carefully.

and why in the first place after upgrade from 51.1.4.0_514006420 to 51.1.5.0_515030720 i got bricked?

please tell me there's still a hope to root it.
