the rom you are installing is for stock partitions, the bootloader you have is for OtterX partition roms

did you use advanced options to change partitions? if so you need a different rom or change back to stock kindle partitions

recovery may be toast

in device manager, do you see an android phone, if so drivers should be good
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepori:
I can change partition from Amazon to OtterX. Advance menu has Trigger USBboot mode and EMMC corruption fix options.

Device manager detects Kindle ! but the old drivers I have didnt work.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
ok so you need to decide if you are sticking with OtterX or reverting back to Kindle partitions

it still maybe ok

test with fastboot.exe

copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe from kindle fire utility/tools

to a folder like c:adb

open command prompt

enter commands

cd\adb

fastboot reboot-bootloader

if it reboots to fastboot mode drivers are fine for now
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lepori:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
download a otterx twrp.img like otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img

verify md5 checksum https://sites.google.com/site/sdshadowscollection/home/hash-checksums

.

copy otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img to adb folder

when you see the bootloader screen (like your posted pic)

press the power button once to open bootmenu, that will give you a couple of minutes before it continues boot to rom

then try the

fastboot reboot-bootloader

kindle show reboot to fastboot screen

then

fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.0.1-recovery-f2fs.img

fastboot reboot

if that works download a compatible OtterX rom

and follow directions on how to push rom and gapps to twrp

Hi, long time reader, first time poster!

I have an O2 XDA Mini S, and in the last few days, my phone has been sending each message twice, or even three times.

Yesterday I did a hard reset to see if that would cure it and it did, but as I re-installed all my software, it started again!

Just wondering if this is a common problem associated with a certain program.

Also, I just sent a test text to my old phone and my XDA told me it couldn't send the message and put it into drafts, but my old phone received it.

If this isn't much help, I'll let you know what I installed, see if that makes it any clearer!

Thanks

Is it so hard to use search function?

It's a well known problem when U use taskmanager software to close message application _before_ U get "message sent" notification. When U close it during sending process message remains in Outbox and thats the reason that system sends it again a bit later.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwu128:
Hi All,

I've got a Samsung Galaxy s4.

haven't had any problems since I've had it.

It's rooted on Jellybean 4.3 firmware.

One day out of the blue (no changes were made) I had no service.

I thought it was a sim tray issue and I took it to a repair shop, and they checked my IMEI and it was null/null!

The strange problem is, it SOMETIMES works... the IMEI will come back and working fine, even after restarting the phone.

I read up about backing up the EFS folder, which I did when it was working.. but even restoring it now doesn't work...

But it's been awhile since it last worked... it's really driving me crazy, usually these forums have solutions to all my problems, but this time, it's just taking me nowhere.

Long time reader, first time posting, I'd love it if someone can help me pleaseeeeee.

Thank youuuu
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholls22:
I am completely new to android and the world of rooting. I have a galaxy S 5 (SM-G900A). I jailbroke my iphones in the past and found it to be pretty simple. I did the towelroot root last week and didn't know where to go or what to do next. Since the bootloader is locked is it worth it to do the root? Not sure if I am missing something but everything I look up is for the tons of other devices and different models for different carriers. I got a little overwhelmed. So my first question is should I even root this device and what exactly can I do or if you have the same device, what have you done with it?

2) Since the root, my S Health is not working and I noticed the phone to be a little jumpy. I did a factory reset on the device and found that I was still having issues. Then I realized the reset did not wipe the root, so I was able to remove the root with superuser and did another reset. My phone has been working great (non rooted). However, this morning it updated S Health and now I am back to not having that app work. Is there a fix and can it be done by only rooting again?

Thanks for any and everyone's help!

I need to return my phone to out of the box fresh. I've been reading and searching and I'm finding info about Odin and MJ5, but I'm not sure which I need to do. The only thing I've done to my phone is root it (then unroot it) with Kingo. I unrooted it, so I could apply the stock 4.4.2 upgrade, but it fails. So now I want to return it to its original state so I can try the upgrade again. I want to keep it close to stock, because I need to use phone encryption so I can use it for work as well.

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Wow, that was a really impressive review. Nicely done. Shame about awful cameras though; even the downscaled images here on XDA show really awful chromatic aberration and poor dynamic range.

I'd also make a counterpoint to one thing you said, though: video-looping is actually moderately hard on the battery. Truly typical tablet uses like web browsing and ebook reading, with some video but not non-stop for 7+ hours, could easily reach the 8 hours mentioned. Some of that will depend on how much the WiFi radio is being used, though. It would have been interesting to see what the battery life is if you just disable sleep mode and have it sit there with a web page that auto-refreshes (over WiFi) every thirty seconds, for example.

Also, it would have been nice if you'd mentioned location sensors like GPS (or more likely, lack thereof) up at the top.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>video-looping is actually moderately hard on the battery.

It depends on the SoC; some are optimized for video decoding, and battery will actually last longer on vid-loop test than a more representative test. Engadget's batt test is vid-loop.

>Shame about awful cameras though; even the downscaled images here on XDA show really awful chromatic aberration and poor dynamic range.

It's an entry model; cams are considered a perk on this. I'd be thankful if it has a decent IPS screen and reasonable battery life.

Ignoring the so-called review for the nonce (since IMO it smells like a "sponsored post"), this is the tail-end of the 8" Win tab crop with 1GB RAM & 16GB flash that we'll see this year. Median price should be around $150. One step up would be same setup w/ 2GB and 32GB flash, for probably $200. I'm glad to see that even for the bottom rung, this has both HDMI-out and dedicated charging port. That was a big headache for last year's crop.

Speaking of improvements, I'm also glad to see both MS and Google following Apple's footstep in moving to "squarer" aspect ratios. SP3 is 3:2, and the aborted Surface Mini is rumored to be 4:3. As well, rumored Nexus 9 is said to be 4:3. Wide-screen sucks for portrait use, and sucks for most uses other than watching videos. Most of this year's crop will be wide-screen, but am hoping more will follow the platform vendors' lead for next year.

Add: On the downside, freebie Office is now rental-ware. While it was never a compelling selling point for small Win devices, it's a decent perk. Now, I would consider it a net negative, for the space it takes up on these limited-storage devices. You can't free up the space, since it's undoubtedly baked into the WIMBoot blob.

One solution is a clean install. With basic optimization, a 32-bit 8.1u1 install takes up 7GB incl swap (in binary, 16GB = roughly 15GB binary, so 8GB remaining). That would also speed up disk I/O, since WIMBoot is no longer in play.

[Windows 8 General] mdwh:
Non-widescreen ratios were normal for years until the more recent trend for 16:9, nothing that Apple are "leading" on. The nice thing about Android and Windows is choice. It's good that there are some non-widescreen devices appearing for those who prefer it, but I'd hate for most of them to switch to that.

Personally I prefer widescreen on a tablet: good for video (one of the most useful things about a tablet, there's a reason they were called "media players" for most of the 2000s); it's better for e-reading (portrait mode is more like a book); and it fits easier in a pocket or a bag. For other purposes, like software, games, I don't think either works out better overall.

It's on desktop monitors I disliked the trend towards widescreen, as it's not like one gains anything by reducing the vertical height.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>Non-widescreen ratios were normal for years until the more recent trend for 16:9, nothing that Apple are "leading" on.

Sorry, Apple iPad leads the way on 4:3 tablets. Yep, 4:3 CRTs existed way back when (I had plenty of them), but wide-screen now dominates computing displays, including tablets. There were a few 4:3 Android tabs, but they're most Shenzhen, and mostly iPad clones.

>The nice thing about Android and Windows is choice

Not for screen ratio. Most Android tabs are 16:10. Win tabs are mostly 16:9 at 10+" sizes, and 16:10 at 8". There is no practical choice unless you want to get a China tab, or some outdated model (Lenovo had some 4:3 ones). But as said, SP3 is 3:2, as is the aborted Surface Mini, and at least some coming Nexus toys are rumored to have a squarer aspect. So perhaps there will be more choice, but not as of yet.

>Personally I prefer widescreen on a tablet: good for video

Yes, video is the primary use-case for CONSUMPTION, which widescreen is good for. It's bad for most everything else. If MS wants to harp on the PRODUCTIVITY angle, then widescreen is a poor choice.

>it's better for e-reading (portrait mode is more like a book)

No, portrait use is awkward with widescreen tablets (unless for a small size like a phone, where one-handed use trumps other consideration). It's a recurring complaint with 16:9 Windows tablets, frequently cited in reviews.

>and it fits easier in a pocket or a bag

Pocketability doesn't apply to tablets. Not too many peeps stick 7" into their back pockets, and Win tabs don't go that small anyway.

>It's on desktop monitors I disliked the trend towards widescreen, as it's not like one gains anything by reducing the vertical height.

The same problem--limited vertical space--applies to widescreen tablets in landscape mode.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
I actually rather like widescreen desktop displays - in landscape mode they allow more windows or documents side-by-side (for doing code reviews with reference materials close at hand, this is huge) and in portrait mode they provide an excellent format for a long-but-not-too-wide text column (think about the aspect ratio of the readable portion of each side of a typical paperback book's page); I usually use that orientation for things like email and chat logs, but it can be used for lots of other things.

None of that has much to do with Windows tablets, though. I have good enough vision I can set the DPI scaling to 100% on Surface 2 / Pro / Pro 2 and still have readable text, which lets me snap windows side-by-side the way I do on my work machine, but apparently that's weird?
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>in landscape mode [widescreens] allow more windows or documents side-by-side...and in portrait mode they provide an excellent format for a long-but-not-too-wide text column

Side-by-side doc viewing is applicable for desktop-sized (20+") displays, not tablets. Tab displays are already sized-constrained for even single-doc view; SxS-view isn't practical.

Portrait mode for widescreen is likewise constrained. It works for docs with reflowable text, but not for PDFs with mixed graphics/text (ie non-reflowable text) or comics; display width would be lacking for full page views.

I agree that the majority prefer widescreen, mostly because video-watching is by far the prevalent use on mobile devices. I don't agree that widescreen lends itself to productivity in portrait, for the simple fact that Windows hybrids (and Windows 8.1 itself) aren't designed for portrait use. For one, portrait mode means forfeitting use of the keyboard dock for all 2n1s, include Surfaces.

>I have good enough vision I can set the DPI scaling to 100% on Surface 2 / Pro / Pro 2 and still have readable text, which lets me snap windows side-by-side the way I do on my work machine, but apparently that's weird?

Not weird, but an outlier. People normally can't discern text at such dense resolution (assuming default font size), particularly older people. Regardless, for those who prefer it, SxS view work just as well if not better on a squarer display. Split SP3's 3:2 screen in half and you have two 4:3 displays.

[Windows 8 General] Buggster:
For reading pdf files and 'some' books I also prefer 4:3 format, for anything else wide screen seems the better solution.

Unless when the screen is big with high dpi, then more space in all directions prevails. But those are relatively expensive.

But for computing on the same dpi I would take an wide screen over 4:3 anytime. Though I do rotate my screen from time.

For tablet 7" or 8" wide is just more convenient in the hand and to put away in a pocket. You just can't do that with an 4:3.
