Recently I have changed my battery,since my phone wouldn't charge even if my charger is plugged in.Anyways I changed the battery and as soon as I turned it on (without a charger) phone turned on,got trough the boot animation and when it was just about to get finished it just turned off,and started rebooting.So I was scared a little bit since I have a custom rom on a locked bootloader,scared of bricking my device or something.Anyways when it started rebooting it turned off again,and than it just started the screen off and on,screen off and on.And no sony logo or anything.It just puts screen on and off.The LED light is off to,at the first booting it was normal.Just a note,the phone hasn't been working (turned on) for a month.I am thinking it's something wrong about the contact with the battery and the phone.The contact is not good I am thinking.Also there is no regular first vibration after turning on the phone.And I have tried volume button up and power button combination,and there are four vibrations (first one,and after that three consecutive).So anyone got an idea what it might be?What's the problem.Please if you have anything on your mind,let me know.Oh yeah and again one more thing.When I put my old battery in (the broken one) there is an LED light,but not turning on obviously lol.

After rolling back on my thor kindle hdx, I get an error when I ever I try to play or download a video on Amazon Instant Video. It says to contact customer service. Has anyone fixed this or knows how to?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aaronkatrini:
Well, that is a silly question!!!

Anyhow, lets start with the basic : HAVE YOU TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN? lol

and provide more info... what kind of HDX, root? modded? what did you do that it doesn't work anymore?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
?

After you successfully rollback did you do your factory reset ?supposed to before reroot and all. At least go and wipe data for any app that fc.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
Yes, I have factory reseted and still no luck. It is rooted through the toolkit with ota off.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
Xposed?HDXposed? Tried reverse ota blocker? Any block or firewall at router ?which base Are you on?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
I tried turning on the OTA with the .94 toolkit and then launching an episode. Still same error "We're experiencing a problem playing this video. If this problem continues, p lease contact Amazon Customer Service."There are no blocks on my router and my brother's HDX video works fine on the same network as me. (However he as not tried rolling back nor rooting. Any ideas? Should I try updating to the most recent version, I hear it can still be rooted.

Thanks in advance,

Thejohnsterr
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
.

No no this is fairly simple , you never told me which system you're on so just go grab the bin file that matches up with your system I believe you said you roll back to the 13.3.1.0 ? Simply grab that Bin file again put it on your device open file explorer and rename it .zip boot into safestrap boot into stock system wipe cache and a basic factory reset . Flash your renamed Bin file /a flashable version of superuser ie root. Boot , skip set up install xposed framework the HDXposed module initialize module reboot . Set your tablet up .Bam hope that helps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
So I'm actually on 13.3.2.3.2 which bin file do I grab
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
well

Well obviously that one . It has to match the kernel because safestrap will not flash the kernel it will only flash the system and data from it. ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
Ya but where do i grab this bin file?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
Ignore that last comment, So I did exactly as you said and when I attempted to watch a video fresh after that factory reset I still get the error. Could it be possible that when I was editing that .prop file when rolling back I touched something I shouldn't have?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
odd

That I haven't heard of anybody else that rollback having this problem ... No OTA blocker other than xposed correct? Which system were you on before you roll back?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
I don't think I used any other blocks... I beleive I was on 13.3.2.3.2 to begin with
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
u believe?

Y would you rollback to your og os?... Did you and did you follow directions exactly or ? Because to read through this thread again is fairly confusing on where you were where you are at and what you have done exactly exactly is the key not almost not I think not kinder not anything but
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Thejohnsterr:
Because I had lost safestrap. I used the notepad find and replace function to change the user id and other values and I successfully rolled back. When I rolled back I didn't have Amazon instant video so I let it roll back to the most recent version 13.3.2.3.2 to try to fix it, which didn't work. That is when I asked for help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
wow

None of that makes any sence to me, sorry. Good luck

I searched far and wide in Google, and apktool seems to do the trick; however, there are only tutorials on how to add advance options, like recovery, or screenshot. I am looking for a way to launch apps from the power menu.

For which purpose is it ?

You give money away for this?

[General Questions and Answers] checkmateyou:
You're asking a very ambiguous question. Are you asking why am I giving money away or why do I need to launch the app from the power menu? If it's the former, I am just giving it away as a incentive and a form of gratitude to those people who like to help out another fellow.
[General Questions and Answers] PMGRANDS:
Power menu? Or from a lock screen?
[General Questions and Answers] checkmateyou:
Power menu on the lock screen and anywhere else.
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
I'm very aware that many custom Roms have an option for this.

There is a section where you can add shortcuts to the power menu, and in the shortcuts you can select an application. I have done this on Liquid Smooth, I'm not sure if its on CyanogenMod but it should be. Just check a few advanced Roms that have power menu mods.

It should have an option to launch an app from the power menu.
[General Questions and Answers] Stuart Little:
Agree

Sent from my beastly SM-T320
[General Questions and Answers] pfloc:
As TheArc said, many rom does.

Recommanded to check Slimrom topics > either "[ROM][SlimKat Official][4.4.4] Stable 7.0" or "[ROM] SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140807 [unofficial SlimKat builds] for jflte".

Fast, really stable for daily use and you will find to any shorcut on the power menu.

[General Questions and Answers] finac94:
If you're thinking of launching any app from any screen, you might check out an app called "START!? - Menu-style Drawer" from Uchi Crew...if that's what you're looking for. You can bring it up by sliding up from home button (like launching google now)...atleast it's like that on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] checkmateyou:
I'm just interested in modifying the existing rom to add a shortcut/app in the power menu. I will see if I can implement what liquid smooth did in the existing rom with ApkTool. If someone already know how to implement something of similar nature in the stock rom, please let me know. I will give you the $10 reward!
[General Questions and Answers] checkmateyou:
Does any rom besides LiquidSmooth have this feature?
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
I'm sure OmniRom, Carbon. And CyanogenMod has this

Sent from my Nexus 5
[General Questions and Answers] checkmateyou:
I tried multiple roms, and it seems LiquidSmooth and Carbon has this feature.

If someone can completely solve this new question of mine, I am willing to up my reward to $50 Google Play Credit. What I am trying to achieve is to put an option to dial a number to check my balance. I have a sim pin, which locks my sim from intruders. While it is still connected to my carrier, no service can be use without a pin, besides carrier level numbers, like balance and minures, or Emergency Number. On my samsung and sony phone, dialing this number on a sim locked phone works, but Nexus and aosp like roms seem to shows opposite results. From analyzing android source code, it seem it is becuase the dialer checks if the phone is connected to a carrier before dialing. It is really connected to a cell rower, but the sim pin is preventing aosp dialer from dialing out because it thinks there is no service. Is there anyway to trick the aosp dialer to think it is connected to a service, bypass the check, or replace the dialer all together?

I know this is a complicated question, so that is why I am willing to give a $50 to the person who can fully answer my question.
[HTC One X] the11doctor:
My touch screen is working intermittently and the phone seems to be running slower then normal. I'm running cyomogenmod 11 for 6 weeks now been working fine and haven't updated. This past week the screen wouldn't respond. Tried reflashing, and resetting but still the same issue I have disable the screen lock and I can use fro longer before the screen is none respocive and have to wait about 20 secs for it to work again. All the home home and back button no longer illuminate when it stops working. It also seems to happen for frequently on charge. Thanks if any one can help.

Sounds awesome.

I can't wait to sue them like how Sony was sued over their DRM/CD fiasco that could "crash" a computer.

Ah, it's great to be an American. We'll sue everyone. lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SecureGSM:
this is _INSANITY_

No developer in their right mind would do something like that.

1. this is illegal to do.

2. what if the software error occured and someone got into this trouble by mistake in software/ error/ etc

3. people who use pirated software would never buy legitimate copy anyway. so they are immediatelly discounted.

4. one should understand that if developer is ready to destroy someone's property to protect his own copyrighted material, deserves the worst. bottom line is: this is not likely to be the case.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ercave1:
Gee, wonder what will become of the world, if everyone starts taking justice into their own hands.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MilanoRex:
Sounds like a scare tactic.. they would get sued pretty fast. What if it wrongly detects a pirated copy? There was a developer who did something like this before, and he was stopped pretty fast.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Khianto:
Maybe in Europe or America, where most of the people using Original software...but not in Thailand/indonesia/and china , where 70% people still using pirated software..:D :D :

BTW no offense to ppl who are staying there, i just pointing to BSA finding ....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
I think the whole announcement is strange:

1) If you do go to such length to protect your software, why would you want to tell the whole world how you do it. For a good hacker the knowledge that the protection runs in different thread and messes with the device is sufficient to find and crack it, and the fact that different software check each other doesn't matter. (Just another clue what to look for).

2) This would be useless if someone uses only one pirated software. Who will check it?

3) This is next to impossible to implement. To prevent reflashing you need to corrupt the bootloader and this is different for every device. Still, theoretically possible but this is more work than MS puts in to windows protection (and for a 10$ piece of software???)

4) If I were considering buying their product I definitely wouldn't after reading this announcement. What user in their right mind would pay for something that due to an error could kill his device?

No I am not in support of piracy, and I think that anyone who uses cracked software basically makes a choice to risk destruction of his equipment be it from viruses or protection module.

Any way I suspect they dug their own whole with this so if this is true it won't be around for long.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
It's impossible they think all this seriously. They will get sued really hard.

The degree of piracy protection depends on the amount of work the author puts in or on his intelligence. Resorting to this just shows a lack in one of those areas.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] CWKJ:
Great, a breakdown handphone is a good excuse to buy another new phone! ;-)

This will get those guys to be sue if their software has bug especially those without warning on their web and during installation (legally the developers must provide warning) especially in Europe & US. They will be sue to their pants drop. The developers will pay a bomb for the protection technology and collect peanuts from their software (as no body will buy) and pay hell of legal fee when sue. Commercially does not sounds good.

Of course piracy is wrong.

I think a better way is to just delete the pirated software used, not the whole PPC software. This will be Win-Win situation and commercially more feasible. Delete the whole PPC software is action same as people who writes Virus, exactly no difference.

A good example is one of my Legal software, which on the web say able to upgrade with the old Code, but unfortunately when my Code is keyed, it still say "Unregistered Version". A quick check via email with their technical support, the same answer that I old version code can be used. Conclusion is I give up the new version and reverse back to my old version.

My 2 cents worth.

I have heard that law enforcement agencies have teamed up with car manufacturers. The built in GPS devices of new cars will autocheck your speed according to TeleAtlas maps and if you exceed the speed limit by more than 10%, the car will selfdestruct. No need to complain about your car being destroyed, because you brought it upon yourself by speeding!

This is bollocks. Carty's software is freely available on IRC.

But every programmer that makes software has to be live to the fact that if it can be run on a CPU, it can be disassembled. If it can be disassembled, it can be reversed.

If any manufacturer warns you that they'll trash your hardware because of piracy, I'll show them the laws of trespass, tort, criminal damage and the various laws enthusiastically enacted across the globe to prevent malicious hacking and criminal damage, even if it is committed by self-appointed vigilante software manufacturers. Patent pending or no.

Class actions a-hoy boys :). I'll happily take on your case.

I keep hearing "piracy is wrong". I just don't belive that. If I was born eating fruit and living in trees I would knock the next monkey over to get the bannana - I was however born into this high tech world where certain tools and information are just as important. Any person smart enough to obtain what they need should do so, its up to the vendor to either prevent it in code or make the product less attractive to hack because of demos, basic versions or versions with some disabled functionality being freely available.

Even if it is moraly wrong, piracy can't be beat. There are millions of geeks/programmers around the world with too much time on their hands and the desire to hack and share.

I assume this message alone could ruin their business seriously. As they started developing on a magician they might found out a way to destroy the bootloader & maybe from some other devices. But why would I want to install software with such a risk of malfunction anyway, if it were true? To hard-reset it when some thief puts in a different sim as mine?

Maybe we find out the truth about this in the near future, but in the mean time I take pity on them :D

I am a reverser and to be fair this could be very easily done.

The legal and moral aspect of doing it is all that will possibly prevent it.

I made a crack for UTA3 by this company and have been happily using it on my blue angel.

The only way around it in my eyes is to create a hook for certain api's that would cause your device to reboot,etc and add a message box prompting action (y/n).

Atleast that way you could remove the app before it did any damage.

I generally reverse x86 windows apps, and I have seen some evil **** in my time.

Locking you out of your own PC, encrypting all docs, emailing all your contacts from outlook to the company, etc.

You just have to be suspicious of everyone lol.

"if it runs, it can be defeated" (c) +ORC

My opinion is that for ordinary people all software should be free or dontationware. Companies should sell tech support for those people, who are too dumb to find out how to use the software themselves.

But software should cost money for other companies, or people who make money on that soft.

It's a win win triangle.manufacturer/operator makes the basic one. developer tries to add value and user buys bcos of pull in the market...if anyone tries to oversmart, especially mfr and developer the sales are affected...Some free stuff does add a pull for these products in the market..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Actually I believe this is why MS made the compiler for WM available for free (up until now) unlike most of its products. Also part of why they went with programing architecture almost identical to desktop windows.

So any enthusiast can peek up a copy of eVC and start making free apps for himself and others.

They needed to push Palm out of the market somehow...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
The most usefull thing about the free compilers is the help. That stuff applies to desktop os as well mostly and is the easiest way to get it. As for making developers pay for 2005, thats just typical. Now that ppc phones are taking off they don't need us any more so MS implement more security on the devices to make it harder/costly to program for and then put a huge price on the tools to program with.

As for piracy, I own the 0 & 1's on my system and if they don't like it I can always just turn it off when they come looking!
