ad prob?

After a few spins the screen went black with a little 'i' icon bottom left. Maybe ad related? You might need to put in a check, to see if the ad loaded or not.

So I got into trouble where I can't start a Phone at all. When I turn it on, suddenly the phone direct me to here imgur*com/JSU1sDo(It's in Chinese and I have no idea on understand it) after the samsung logo.

Before I do a firmware reset, I at least need to know this problem because It can be fix by somehow and If you can translate it to English it might be great :D

Finally, I really appreciate any help from anybody :D It's seem like I can't get anyone to fix this problem by myself :(

Change the * to dot as I can't post a link as a newbie :victory:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEREKTROTTER:
Hi,

im having an Amazon Fire TV imported here to the UK, mainly for XBMC but i want to know how i can access all USA services with it.

Do you have to login with an amazon account? I have a UK amazon so not sure that will work.

Also im guessing i will need to use a VPN or someway to spoof my IP to USA.

Anyone got any info on this?

Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
The Fire TV will need to be updated to at least version 51.1.3.0_user_513011520 for your Amazon.co.uk account to work with it. If you want to keep root then you will need to install ClockworkMod and pre-rooted version of the latest Fire TV software. This guide will help you with that:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-upda...tv-to-the-latest-version-without-losing-root/

If you want to install US geographically restricted apps, then follow this guide:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-geographically-restricted-apps-from-amazon/

If you want to watch US restricted content, like NetFlix, then follow this guide:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-bypass-geographic-content-restrictions-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEREKTROTTER:
much appreciated :)

the item description says this:

The current version is the last rootable version for amazon fire - the version number is 51.1.0.11_user_510055620. If you do purchase this item.

DO NOT UPDATE THE ITEM.

so it looks like i will be making use of your guide once it arrives :)

version looks good for CWM [MENTION=5957312]AFTVnews.com[/MENTION] so can i just start from step 5 in your CWM guide?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Yup, if it really is running 51.1.0.1_user_510055620 you can skip to step 5.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEREKTROTTER:
awesome :)

and after installing the latest version pre-rooted, i still have access to CWM to downgrade again if needed ?

Someone commented on your site that they lost access but im guessing they did it wrong
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Correct. Once you have CWM recovery installed, you're open to downgrade or upgrade to any version. The only thing to keep in mind is that if you want to downgrade to something other than one of rbox's pre-rooted versions, you will have to revert the Fire TV back to using the stock recovery. That guide is here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-revert-an-amazon-fire-tv-back-to-stock-recovery-and-stock-software/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEREKTROTTER:
oh i think i will wait to see if rbox can pre-root the UK rom, i think i would be better using that as i have UK amazon with prime.

I was wondering if there was a program that could create bootable USBs without administrator privileges. If there are, let me know.

Another topic: Are there any tools to burn an ISO to a usb drive? I need to move my ISO of The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion to my flash drive. Would I just be able to extract it using 7zip?
[Off-topic] CoolApps:
You can just extract the contents of the ISO image onto the USB. If it needs to create partitions then you will need to have administrator privileges, which is the main reason for software which do the job ask for such thing.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oblivion0:
Hi Everyone,

Trying to see if there is a simple fix for this without having to wipe the device to factory.

Working with 4.4.4 on an insurance replacement (old power button went bad). Ran a Nandroid backup on my faulty device using CWM, and when restoring to the new device (after flashing the 4.4.4 deodexed rom, permissive kernel and modems) I am getting a looping error on process.gapps and Google Play services.

Looks like something got hosed post-restore and need some assistance wrangling this without having to do a hard reset.

I've tried:

- Clearing Cache

- Clearing Dalvik Cache

- Clearing cache on Google Play Services

Unfortunately, none of these options have been successful. Does anyone have a hammer and nails approach I can use here to stabilize the device? I have no problem with reinstalling Google Play Services or GApps, but in this state the device is challenging to navigate (popup after popup).

Thank you in advance for your feedback.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Did you wipe everything and then restore your nandroid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oblivion0:
Yes, wiped cache, dalvik cache and data/system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oblivion0:
Worked around CWM by installing TWRP and converting a spare MicroSD card to Fat32. From there was able to run a TWRP System/Data backup and image the new phone.

I've experienced this issue before with CWM, so assuming it's a defect in the System and or Data backup process.

Glad to be back up.

Click on "Scatter-loading" button, navigate to folder you have unzipped "G9000_CWM_Recovery.rar" file and select file "MT6592_Android_scatter.txt"

Be sure that ONLY "RECOVERY" is checked and the location is pointing to file "MT6592_Android_scatter.txt".

Now press the "Download" button.

A warning will come up saying not all boxes are checked. Click ‘Yes’.

Wait about 5 to 10 seconds.

Attach your phone to the PC using a USB cable (do not turn on the phone yet), and you will see the progress bar at the status bar of the program changing values.

Wait until a green circle icon appears on the SP_Flash_Tool program.

When you see the green circle, close the program and dettach the phone.

Turn on the phone. Congratulations, now you have CWM recovery that we will use to root the phone.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] georbe:
I've got it from Aliexpress. Go to the site a search for "755675732" without quotes.

The performance is excellent. It has MTK6592 chip which is 8-cores at 1.7 GHz.

The only thing you have to consider, is that the 3.5 mm jack that has, is not a REAL 3.5 mm jack. It's actually incompatible with any headphones I have ever have. The only headphones that works with this device, is only those that where in the original package.

Trying to follow your guide, but I can't get into recovery mode

Hi Georbe,

I think I have the same phone (everything match except I am not sure if the Android is KitKat)... Just in case, here is the link of my phone: goo.gl/Qhcf5T

My phone stopped to respond and I tried removing the battery. Next time I turned it on, it keeps in Welcome screen and never starts.

I wanted to tried your steps... but the thing is that I can't get into recovery mode (I have tried with a lot of buttons combinations)...Is there any way that I can accomplish the step 3 of 'Root the phone' in another way?

Sorry for my ignorance, I am very new on those kind of things.

Thanks in advance.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
When I plug the phone in using USB, the computer (Windows 8.1) makes the connection noise but no drive shows up in explorer. Android shows "Device connected as MTP". Both PC and phone have been rebooted. Feel so stupid that such a simple task is failing.

Are there any extra steps I need to do?

EDIT:

Device manager shows a device called "MTP" with a yellow exclamation point. Maybe because my old phone had MTP?

EDIT2:

Solved it by turning off USB debugging. I always left this on my other devices, but seems like I need to turn it off for file transfers. Any solution to this?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Sometimes it conflict with the drivers of other devices. See if there are any ADB devices that show up when you connect it, if it does, uninstall the driver and select the checkbox to delete the drivers as well. Then you want to uninstall the drivers for all your Android devices, whether it's USB or ADB drivers and reboot. If it still won't detect, install Moto Device Manager: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

Also the Moto X is very picky with cables, make sure you use the original cable it come with.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
Thanks, edited OP with "solution". USB debugging prevents MTP from working. That's annoying...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbock:
Just for information purposes, I'm adding this here, as it might help somebody.

I just got an European version of the Moto X (XT1092) and it wasn't recognized at all. I tested in Windows 8.1 and 7 (no reaction at all in the Device Manager), also in Linux with lsusb, there was absolutely no difference when the device was plugged in.

After doing this, I booted the phone into RECOVERY (using this instructions http://johnalvarez.net/?p=2439 ), to see if there was an option there I could use. Found nothing and just rebooted from Recovery into the normal system. After doing that, without changing anything, the phone started being recognized. By the way, I have USB debugging ON and MTP as well and the phone is recognized without any problems.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
Ye, I had the same thing. I thought I had a good quality one to replace the official one... But no. The Moto x seems especially perceptive to his since my cables work on other phones. You'll just have to use the first 4 for charging and keep the 5th for data :)

Following a thread in the Galaxy S5 forums I was able to root an S5 with Towelroot by flashing a signed (important if you don't want to trip the KNOX flag) kernel from an older firmware release, do the root, and then re-flash the signed kernel for the 4.4.2 version. I can't guaranty it work on your device, and I have the GT-N5100, but if we can extract the signed kernel from your image the pieces should be available to try it.

NOTE 3 - ROOTED
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ramjet73:
Yea, I looked at it.

You can too by using 7zip to "open archive".

Here's the root directory of the 2400258.cfg file you linked:

There is no signed "boot.img" file that could be flashed with Odin or Heimdall. When I checked the updater script a patch method is used to updated the previous kernel:

ui_print("Patching boot image...");
apply_patch("EMMC:/dev/block/mmcblk0p9:5150976:8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de:6080784:eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499",
"-", eaee84c0a938f101931ca0b235cbbee112c26499, 6080784,
8293cf49006c35a33647cba0f6153bc8320ae5de, package_extract_file("patch/boot.img.p"));

Without a complete 4.4.2 version of a signed boot.img file you wouldn't be able to return to the original kernel after rooting. I wouldn't recommend the method I mentioned previously until that's available.
