[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
Yeah, I suppose if I can't figure it out I'll try to find a tech in town that can help.

But I don't necessarily need specific step by step instructions on how to modify the IMEI, just some general guidance with getting S-OFF working properly, and making sure I don't mess anything up so that when I do revert back to stock I can still use the unlock code I got.

I just re-locked the bootloader and am now installing the RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_TMOUS_3.24.531.3_Radio_4A.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04_release_336982_signed_2(2).exe I downloaded, which I'm running in Parallels, since Mac seems to be fairly limited with some things.

After I get that installed and working, I'm going to see if I can go through the steps of unlocking the bootloader, rooting and trying firewater again.

If that doesn't work, maybe I'll try installing the latest cyanogenmod build, and trying to get firewater to set S-OFF after that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You may have many issues if you doing all this on a mac.

Ref lashing the stock ROM has been known to help some. Not all but a few it worked on.

The IMEI change could also be a main board replacement. Then the IMEI on device would be correct and the one on the box would be wrong.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
The serial number is still the same.

I re-locked the bootloader to try and install that ruu, but it got stuck and now it won't boot past hboot.

I'm running the cyanogenmod installer now because I don't know what else to do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matts_:
You could also try to S-OFF with revone, which got stuck for me at a certain point, but I went S-OFF anyway.

I tried revone because I had the same issue with firewater as you had.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kloan:
Alright, I'm not going to get into all the crap I went through trying to get s-off, but suffice to say it was a colossal waste of time.

Ended up buying Sunshine and that worked like a charm when I ran it after restoring the factory T-Mobile rom.

Changing the IMEI back was ridiculously easy once I had s-off.

HOWEVER, the unlock code doesn't work! It tells me it's invalid. :(

If you've managed to avoid the OTA update & are still on 3.5 - Simple. Download towelroot v3, make it ra1n, download SuperSU, then use Titanium or ES File Explorer to uninstall/disable Devices Services Platform.

For the rest of us who have updated to 3.5.1

Download Fire OS 3.5 - HERE

Rename to update.bin & drop it in to C:\

Boot phone into recovery by holding PWR + VOL UP

Select "Apply update from ADB"

Go to Device Manager - find "Fire" and select "Update driver". Go through the list of "All devices" to find Android Composite USB Interface and select it.

Unplug the phone, plug it back in, then open up a command prompt and type the following:

adb sideload c:\update.bin

This will downgrade you to 3.5. When done, do a full wipe & reboot. Then install towelroot to obtain root access.

Please report any issues.

it is a nice phone
[Amazon Fire Phone] daggerNC:
I will second that plea - please someone discovery how to root and put a real Android ROM on 3.6.8 phones. It is a powerhouse phone for the on-sale price. But I just can't warm up to the Fire ROM - they tried to make it a Kindle tablet that's a phone device and changes to the UI just to be different in my opinion.

I do not get Voice Mail messages on my Lock Screen - does anybody? I've missed multiple messages now because the only way I know I have one is if I swipe down from the top to display notifications (why the $#!!# Amazon developers thought that you shouldn't display notifications in the notification bar is beyond me and an example of how frustrating this otherwise fine phone is..).

Please, please, please.....

Below 3.6.8 downgrade should work. Please use development forum only for development.
[Amazon Fire Phone] luismix:
And it DOES! :)

I followed the tutorial and now I have the device with 3.5 and full root.

By the way, YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT. Fire Phone takes forever in wiping cache and data. Just leave the phone for around 5 - 7 minutes n both cases even though it looks stacked.

And BE CAREFUL! This image is for AT&T... So the image is for the US customers and you won't be able to use AppStore unless you change your country to the US ;)

Is there any custom recoveries for fire phone
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Sh1t, fire phone's development scene is really sad.

I'm thinking of getting one.

Can anyone please indicate documentation with the necessary information to learn more about the structure this phone uses to keep the bootloader locked? I need somewhere to start, so you can also refer me to any dev groups on irc or dev forums working in the current situation.

I'd really appreciate it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
@ v6ser The development scene is not sad because there is none. ;)

Chances that the bootloader won't be unlocked are 99,9%. Unlock for KF HD6 & HD7 are based on the RSA exploit from vortox and dpeddi. That vuln. is fixed on the Fire Phone and HDX v3.2.4+ (presumably).

If another tablet from Amazon gets popular enough in the future and somene is able to unlock the bootloader, maybe they can rework it for the Fire Phone (although this more like wishful thinking ^^).

If you are looking for a modding / custom friendly phone, don't bother with his one. I know, the hardware is decent and they are selling it for a fair price but that's about it.

I bought it for 80 € (had a gift card) and it's ok to tinker with it, will keep using it as a 2nd device until I get my hands on a nice "4 GB Android M" device in the future.

You can find some information about Amazons bootloader here, since it's basically the predecessor but don't expect too much.

Pro tip: learn Chinese, take a plane to China, make some new friends = bootloader unlocked in less than a week. ^^
[Amazon Fire Phone] v6ser:
Vulnerabilities are patched really often, not only with amazon(also apple, sony, microsoft etc).

So we "just" need to find another one.

Reverse engineering is no rocket science and silly mistakes made by the said companies are usually the easy path too.

I have some free time i'm willing to spend with this device, but i'd need info on the structure to know where to look for a new exploit. And I had already looked into the forum you referred but thanks anyway.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
So when my fire phone arrives the magic number is 3.6.8? Hopefully I get one that's been sitting around awhile which I think is a good possibility.

I just can't find much info on really basic stuff such as what approach I should take in the initial setup? Is it like aftv where you see nothing until you register it? And to register of course you need internet which means most likely it'll auto update...?

We got around this on aftv by blocking domains on router then going through an incredibly tedious process of rooting but looks like this is much different.

And if by chance I achieve root what's the procedure for blocking updates? Will safestrap act like twrp and cwm, making otas fail to install?

Got lots of questions but just some tips for what I should do when it gets here would be a great start and much appreciated.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Most likely it'll ship with 4.6.1. Then you can root it with Kingroot and install Safestrap to flash CM11 (search in this forum for "Kingroot", "Safestrap" and "CM11" and you'll find the instructions).
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
That is really awesome news! I thought they might've already closed that exploit. So this is simple

Where I'm a little fuzzy now is the before and after. Do I need to take any precautions like worry about connecting because of auto updates. Is registration the initial step that must be taken before using the phone?

Then the after...is there a procedure for blocking updates? With kfhd a second bootloader is loaded and no need for concern. With aftv you block them on the box with pm disable com.amazon.dcp

***But I really appreciate the info. You've definetly renewed my optimism about this purchase. And I've got time so I'll be going through then pertinent threads now I know kingroot still works. Thanks.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Because you can only buy the phone from Amazon.com, they've configured it before they shipped it to you, so no need to register. And after you flash CM11 there'll be no trace of FireOS because you'll wipe the system and then overwrite the OS, so don't worry about OTAs that brick the phone or the like.

(End of the question, if you have any other question please post it on Q&A section)

Hey Guys, Im new here and that's my first post, I really really need some help! First, I'm really sorry by my english!! I just need some help, I don't know what to do and I heard that's the only place with lots of nice people with know-how and good will to help!

I was rooting my Z1 and I did it right with the Root, the DualRecovery but something goes wrong when I was about to install the CYANOGENMOD ROM. There's a moment when the tutorial tells me to rename a file from ROM CM to ROMcm.zip and transfer it to xperia's memory stick. After that, I reboot my cell in Recovery mode and clicked in Install Zip File to install this ROM I renamed and after I clicked in Reboot. My Z1 doesn't turn on anymore. When I hold the power Button he vibrates one time and nothing happens. If I keep holding, he keep vibrating. When I connect by USB, he do not appear on my computer... After I see that file I rename it on my pc, instead of "ROMcm.zip" the name was "ROMcm.zip.zip" (with 2 zips)...maybe can this be the problem..

I don't know what to do

I have tried sip change but I can't get phone pad to work on the trinity.

It has worked a couple of times and when it does it is great. As other members have said it is more likely to work if you go from keyboard to transcriber and then to phone pad. When I installed spb diary it stopped working completely and so did calligrapher, which had been working fine. I have now remved the spb diary today screen plug in and calligrapher has started working but whatever I try I can't get phone pad to work ever :(.

Swede claims to have this working http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1097471&postcount=25

but id definitely doesn't for me.

It seems like the problem is a combo of OS, additional software (definitely spb diary) and maybe other factors :(

[P3600 General] hongsit:
I have the same problem. Works fine for a while, then it refuses to switch to the phone pad unless i soft reset, it just keeps reverting back to the keyboard.

I havent tried setting the default SIP, as I want the keyboard to be the default SIP, i just use the phonepad for text messages.

I haven't figured out if its clashing with any of the other software I have installed, (I have so many). Its annoying me though!
[P3600 General] samawil:
I have a similar problem...i can see the option of phonepad in the sip menu, but whenever I choose it it switchs back to keyboard...in fact I've never been able to get it to work.

Someone had me download a program called sipchange and its an app that makes it so you can change the preferred sip but even then it still goes back to keyboard...

Here is what I'm thinking could be a problem...

Right now, I have smart dial (since this is an HTC phone) but other than that, I don't have a keypad with numbers on it...so maybe I need a file somewhere with a pic of the keypad (1-0 a-z)

Does that make any sense?

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
Dear xda community members:

Today our technician who is traveling in USA proposed an idea: Since MT7-TL10 supports TDD-LTE, what's the coverage in USA?

We searched online and noticed two articles about the service provider Sprint:

http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...ith-att-and-verizons-coverage-and-performance

http://www.wirelessweek.com/articles/2013/08/sprint’s-tri-band-lte-could-be-valuable-differentiator

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

We were very excited to find this information, since MT7-TL10 supports TDD-LTE B38/39/40/41, and Sprint seems offering TDD B41 (2.5 GHz). If this were true, then MT7-TL10 shall work in USA using Sprint's service.

We asked our technician to visit the local Sprint's store, in hope that we could try Sprint's Sim card and see if LTE can be received. The results were frustrating, NOT because we did not receive LTE; however, the customer service representative told our technician that Sprint does not offer Sim card in their phone nor they can activate Non-Sprint phones.

One question for xda community USA members: Is it true what our technician was told?

Thanks participating in this discussion.
