Hello I am trying to restore my Kindle Fire 2 using your instructions. I have a factory cable and boots up to fastboot just fine. All goes well until I get to "fastboot –i 0x1949 –w" and receive this error message:

erasing 'userdata'...

OKAY [183.180s]

formatting 'userdata' partition...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type not supported.

OKAY [ 0.120s]

formatting 'cache' partition...

Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.

File system type not supported.

OKAY [ 0.116s]

finished. total time: 254.386s

Then when I reboot the device I come up to the red triangle logo and do a restore to factory settings but now the kindle is stuck on a bootloop.

I hope someone can help as I have tried all sorts of things to try and get the device to work.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] chronicfathead:
I got stuck with your instructions, but in the end it was something simple.

I had adb drivers setup etc, a proper fastboot cable which works perfectly, but every time I tried to send any of the commands it sat there "waiting for device".

What I was doing was copying your commands from the guide, from Win 7 Wordpad.

Once I manually typed the commands they worked perfectly, even though it looked exactly the same in the command prompt!

I tried this on Ubuntu 14.10 and two Win 7 PC's, and they all did the same thing. As soon as I manually typed the commands everything worked.:good:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dramon:
Hi guys, let me start off by saying that I've owned my TouchPad for 2 and a half years and have been lurking on xda for some years.

Recently my TouchPad Charger got damaged due to fluctuating voltage.

My touchpads battery is drained. I have no way to charge it.

Now I have searched a lot and I understand that the TouchPad has a built in mechanism that allows it to draw 2A current only from official chargers and draws limited current from other charges.

My problem is that I'm in a location where there is no TouchPad Charger available in the market and Amazon.com etc does not ship to my location so please don't post any links of online products.

I've got multiple mobile phone chargers at home with output ranging from 5V, 750-100mA. Whenever I plug them in, I get the message ' to reliably charge use the cable that came with your device'. I've charged my TouchPad for hours yet it still doesn't boot.

Shops near me have generic Chinese chargers as well as branded charges of Samsung tab etc.

What can I do? Is my TouchPad doomed?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
You've said that Amazon won't ship to your location but not who will or where you are?

Anyway the best way to charge from flat is with a Touchstone charger if you can locate one.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dramon:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinook9:
I am retired and have taken to modifying phones as one of my hobbies.

I have a Samsung S3 I535 which I no longer use as a cell phone, but it was OTA'd to KitKat 4.4.3. Because of this update the bootloader is locked and I don't want to try and put custom ROMs on it.

I am considering selling my S3 and buying a used Nexus 4. It will not be activated or used as a telephone but I will install custom ROMs and use it for GPS, movies, and a few games.

Are there any specific Nexus 4 models to stay away from?...or conversely are there any specific variations that are better than the others?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prophet968:
These are Nexus's, they are built for customization and things like that. There's really no difference or added challenge between devices, because they're all built to be modified.

The only difference between random devices bought online is the CPU, they can be marked as different "tiers" which only really applies to undervolting your device. Personally, I've never found that it actually changes anything... but everyone's different. To figure this out is not easy, and requires the phone to be rooted and have a terminal app installed (with root privileges).

So moral of my comment, is that they're really all the same and can all be modded easily. Also, as a Nexus, modding will be easier than your S3 no matter what.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinook9:
Thank you for the response.

On the Samsung S3 the update to 4.3 locked the bootloader. Are there any modding problem with Nexus 4 that have 4.3 or 4.4 installed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
no, these aren't Samsung devices. The bootloader will never be locked by firmware. Technically the bootloader is locked but the simple fastboot command

fastboot oem unlock

will unlock the bootloader

You'll never have a problem flashing any n4 rom and you can easily downgrade firmware if you want too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinook9:
Well folks a little potentially useful information for any reader who may be in the situation I was in when I started this thread.

I bought a used Nexus 4 and quickly learned that it does not have some features I assumed it did, in fact I assumed all phones had these features. That is, the Nexus 4 does not have an SDHC card slot and it does not work with OTG cables unless you do a "workaround." I can live with these but I doubt I would have purchased this phone if I had known.

On second thought, I will check around and see if there is another phone that meets my needs better at a reasonable price. 16GB is just not much space for a selection of movies, quite a few maps on 2 or 3 GPSs, some music, a few custom ROMs and a backup or two.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahadsul3man:
there are plenty , depends on your budget actually ,you can buy a xperia z used, for almost same price and plenty of custom roms support for it as well

The Activity Shortcuts in Themer are the same that are found in other launchers, we're not too sure if that is what you're referring to (the ones found in the Advanced settings on the long-press menu)?

Official G3 support should arrive soon, developers are still looking into it. Sorry for the delay.

No, they are not.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/lg-health-app-smart-bulletin-t2840234/post54731870

Take a look at that one, it may explain it better. We are trying to create shortcuts to an Activity or Intent like others let you do. There is a solution in this thread, but it requires me installing a different launcher to do it and keeping it while using Themer. I don't think this will allow me to put it in the App drawer either this way.

Apologies.

I'll pass this info onto the developers straight away.

Tricks to Enhance The Sound on Your Headphones :-

1) For Android :-

Just goto Settings > Audio Profiles > Sound enhancement > Disable or Enable the BesAudEnh > Notice the difference in sound Quality

2)For PC :-

You can change a setting in the " Control Panel "to make your headphones sound better, specifically to enhance the bass.To do this mod, first go to the “Control Panel” then click on “Hardware and Sound” From here, click the section titled “Sound ” and the dialog window for modifying the headphones will appear. The “Playback ” tab will open first, and it is here where you will find your "headphones" listed.Right-click your "headphones" and select “Properties” to start modifying them.In the next window that loads, click the “Enhancement” tab,then click the box next to “Bass Boost” on the next page.Clicking this will make lower bass frequencies sound more powerful through your headphones.

[General Topics] bentleyboy:
Okay awesome thanks. The market trend has been more and more bass which I personally just find to be muddy and offensive at best. Equalizer, frequency, and more specific adjustments are the key for me. Hate that these options are sometimes hidden so deeply in menus but "bass boost" is right at the forefront. Ah well...

As I've got this tablet with not fully working touchscreen (there are areas where touch doesn't work) I can't get through first setup, and i cant turn on ADB or rotate screen to relocate button which i want to press. If there is a kind owner of this tablet, I wish he could make a (possibly small) backup via recovery (.backup file) with ADB and relocating turned on.

If not, maybe somebody knows how to edit .backup file?

Or just how to skip "Welcome" screen..

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theplagueisback:
Hey guys, I downgraded my KFHD to 7.2.3, rooted and then installed TWRP 2.7.0.0 using FireFlash, everything ok so far.

I downloaded on the internal memory the ROMS Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 and CM-11 Nightly Build.

I restarted the Kindle in recovery mode, did the necessary wipes for Liquid Smooth and flashed it.

I rebooted the Kindle and got suck on the Liquid Smooth logo animation.

I restarted in TWRP mode again and wiped everything, this time I flashed CM-11 and then rebooted.

Now it's stuck on the Kindle Fire blue boot logo.

What could I be doing wrong here, I don't know what else can I flash that will start up.

I appreciate any advise.

I am seriously considering getting a universal to replace my pda (dell axim x51v) and cell phone (moto v551).

I got some questions to clear up before pulling the trigger :)

1) between the different variants, is there any difference other than software? Which one is supposed to be the best one? the worst one?

2) How does the universal handle video playback using the latest ROM, because according to an early review, the universal performed quite poorly.

3) Any universal user out there who also own(ed) an x51V, how does the universal behave compared to x51v generally?

Thanks a lot.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r3bel:
1) I've only ever used the O2 ROM, as I really like their visual style. :p

2) I can play XviD 640x360 (16:9) and 640x480 (4:3) both fullscreen with no resizing and they only stutter on lots of fast-changing detail e.g. fire, ripples, heat haze etc. 98% of the time, it's VERY watchable :D The other 2% last less than 5 seconds roughly on the types of video I watch. WMVs are not really watchable, MPEG1 / 2 are perfect, MPEG4 I don't have much experience with, but the clips I record with the Universal's built-in camera play fine.

3) I've never had another PPC

4) Get the true VGA hack if you get one! :rolleyes:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bnycastro:
1) i have used the O2 ROM, dopod ROM, Lt. Cmdr. Ivan's AKU3 ROM [beta 8 was the last ROM I used I think it's now on beta 15], JW's AKU3 imate ROM currently using JW's ROM [1.90.96] it's pretty stable and fast.

2) I barely use it for Video, I use it mainly for music. But when I played WMVs [all my WMVs are 320 x 240 as I encoded them all to this resolution when I still had QVGA devices not too forward thinking I know...:(] it did the job pretty well. Note I usually soft reset before and after watching a movie so that I get the most RAM I can.

3) Sorry never owned a DELL PPC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] renhui:
Thanks for the input, guys.

Another quick question, how does the universal work as a phone? I know it's a pda phone and I shouldn't expect it to be as good as a regular phone.

But how is the usability of the universal as a phone? Missed calls problem or any other known problems?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
My MDA Pro is usable as a phone since I got a bleutooth headset. Before that it wasnt a great phone. It is since I got a Siemens-Benq HHB-130, just love that headset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] renhui:
Hi, Kassad, is it the bulky factor or the not-so-good sound quality of the internal speaker and mic that stops you from using it without a bluetooth headset? I've got a bluetooth headset, but I am not sure if I want to use it everytime I want to make a phone call or have a call come in.

BTW, how is the picture quality of the 1.3MP camera? How well does it capture video stuff? I will be interested in using it to take some short videos from time to time.

Thanks a lot.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bnycastro:
on BT Headsets and Camera Functions

For me call quality is great but the bulk makes it akward to use at times. I wouldn't want to be fumbling with my Uni whilst walking, with a headset you just press the MFB and your talking... of course I get the: "hey did you earse my number???" everytime I ask who's on the line [as I don't see who's calling]. or the oddest thing I've gotten was: "Are you a handicap, a deaf-mute?" [not too many people with headsets here I suppose hahaha. By using a headset your hands are free to do other things as well. :)

--

As for the camera I barely use it as it's doesn't have the best of qualities. I wouldn't leave my Digicam if I wanted nice photos or a basic video clip. Maybe for spur of the moments snaps or vids in the morning [with good lighting] the camera is bearable.

--

Anyway apart from the bulk and the poor camera [I don't think theres any PPC with a nice camera, doesn't make it right but I guess it's a fact of life for the meantime] the Uni is a great device
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
Its the bulky factor, the sound quality is ok. With the headset much better tho.

Quality of the camera is only acceptable in full daylight when you're outside, any other situation, forget the camera.

But as an internet connected very small laptop its superb! I use it as my business device and love it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CWKJ:
I normally will not buy a phone that is 1 year old or more in the market, mobile phone technology moves very fast, you must get the latest!

Why not wait for HTC Omni or some other devices like O2 Flame?

Some will be out early next year.

Camera is ok, its 1.3MP but it has a extrapolated 2MP mode. But cannot beat the 3, 4 or 5 or event more MP digi cameras.

Night pics are ok if you have a stable hand and holding your breathe, the flash light is quite useless.

Video is also ok, in *.mp4 files. Full screen playback can be possible using TCPMP player.

Ringtone or stereo audio from the phone speakers ok. Phone Mic & Phone earpiece ok.

Bluetooth headsets with caller id or caller number type can be used.

Bluetooth stereo headsets can be supported with a registry hack available on this forum if you are not using the qtek rom.

My other PPC is iPAQ as in my signature.
