[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grizzly`:
TheWooky,

I did format the sd-card partitions several times (actually I repartitioned it a few times, choosing different splits between the ext4 and fat32 partitions each time, and even trying to add a swap partition a couple of times).

I also used the "format all partitions (except sdcard)" option in recovery every time. I do assume that option actually DOES format? Or does it actually only rm everything? Is there another way of formatting the internal partitions?

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Sooo.... Something does seem to be happening with the other (8gb class 4) sd-card. I did not wait for first boot to actually finish (waited 15 minutes and it was still in progress) but the log looks good to me now.

So I tried repartitioning the big (16gb, class 10) sd-card again, and reformatting it, but it doesn't help

Seems like I'll buy a new sd-card tomorrow. I'm just confused that the 1.2 release of the rom didn't have any issues with this sd card. Is it possible the 2.0 doesn't like 16gb cards?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sting085:
I have also formated the microsd multiple times. And I mean full format (even a few times in windows). Then I need to re-partition it using EXT4Recovery. Still no go.

The reason my log says ex3 is because my backup/restore file was ext 3 and the recovery program automatically converts back to the partition type of your backup. And yesterday I didn’t want to do a full format (again..). Yesterday, I did however do "format all partitions (except sdcard)", which I have also done multiple times. When I have time today, I’ll do it again and make sure it really is ext4, so that you can see that this is not the cause ;)

By the way, I have a Sandisk class 10/U1 16Gb microsd. I always partition it to 1.5Gb ext4 and 14.5Gb fat32. Just to be sure; I don’t have to make a second ext-partition nor a swap-partition right?

Grizzly, I’m curious if you succeeded with a new microsd (although 15 minutes of waiting seems too long already)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spezi77:
ROM v2.0 uses the kernel 3.0.16. If you look into another thread, I remember that some people have reported problems with 16gb SD cards.

Trying a different SD card is currently the only way to workaround.

Best of luck!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sting085:
If that is the case, then I will accept my defeat and wait what Grizzly has to say with his new microSD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grizzly`:
Hi Sting,

I have my phone working successfully with the 8gb sd-card (I always use 2gb for the ext4 partition on all sd cards, and the rest for the fat32 card).

The setup wizard crashed several times, the logcat log was full of timeout messages, and last night everything was horribly sluggish even after an hour of letting it settle. Surprisingly enough, this morning I rebootet one more time, and now everything is quite spightly.

I will still go and buy a new sd-card this afternoon, since the one I use now is only class 4, it is many years old, and it has failed before (worn out). I was planning to get a new 16gb card, but after reading spezi's last mail I will probably stick to an 8gb card. I'm very unhappy about that, though, since with both navigational maps (for offline navigation) and lots of music (I use the phone as the main music player and connect this to the car radio aux in usually) I was reaching the limit even of the 16gb card, so 8gb will be horribly tiny.

If there is anybody out there that managed to get release 2.0 working with a 16gb sd-card I would really like to hear what they did to make it work

Thanks again for your great work, spezi!

Griz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spezi77:
You're welcome!

Why do want to get a tiny 8gb? I use a 32gb card (Samsung class 6) in my Desire. And it always worked smooth with all ROMs and kernels.

Sent from my Nexus™4. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grizzly`:
Urm....

because I (mistakenly?) assumed that if there is a problem with 16gb cards, then there will probably be even more problems with even larger cards?

If you think the problem is ONLY with 16gb cards, and not with 16gb and larger, then I might indeed buy a 32gb card. That would definitely be space enough.

Griz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sting085:
thanks for your update. I guess a new microsd is needed. Just wonder if it is due to the 16GB or due to the class10...

Anyway I'll stick to Kitkang version 1.2 and hope future versions can cope with the 16Gb disc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spezi77:
Well, it's hard to say which SD card can cope with kernel 3.

Can't flash Custom Hboot

I'm trying to flash the custom hboot 400mb on my HTC Desire but it keeps coming up with the message "Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!".

My current hboot is:

AlphaRev

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.93.0001

I should also mention my phone is a Telstra HTC Desire (Bravo) model A8183.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

How r u trying to flash it? If pb99img way then u prob need to add ur CID into the android-info.txt file
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davicta:
Yeah, I'm flashing it using the PB99IMG way. I did put in the CID TELST001 into the android-info.txt file but it still says my model ID is incorrect. Could it be that my HTC Desire has a different modelid?

Edit:

It did work when I added the cidnum: TELST*** to the android-info.txt file. Looks like I got the CID number wrong and I don't know what the Telstra HTC Desire is so the wildcard helped. Also, my USB on the phone is broken so I couldn't use fastboot to get the information. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayazis:
I tried installing this rom..

I did full whipe and format.

Used the recommended HBoot, and the recoomended 4ext (both updated via PB99).

While flashing the rom I get Error. Status 7. A little search tells me i got the wrong 4ext. BUT i used the one from the startpost AND checked md5sum. tried and checked two times.

So.. Any ideas?

Great advice! :good:

With the linked recovery version all my problems are gone:

no more "sd-ext not formatted"

no more "boot loop"

After flashing the rom, there was just one single reboot. During the second boot up, the apps were "optimized" and <taa daa> the start up was successfully finished. :cool:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k6?:
Hi all, I have just received my fire tv toda from Amazon uk.

I plugged in and tried to have a look at the UI. Anyway it wanted to update straight away and started downloading. I stopped this and have turned it off.

I wanted to check the FW version but I can't get that far.

Di I have to root first as I only bought this unit to install xbmc

Please help.

Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osva:
If I'm not mistaken UK units are shipping with the latest firmware.

But you don't need root to install xbmc.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k6?:
Cool. Thanks. I'll boot it up and get it on.

icefilms should work right? im in UK and it loads up on windows without spoofing IP

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Are you positive that is your software version number? Others have reported getting 51.1.4.0_user_514006420, which is different from your version .
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycab13:
Yep, 100% positive. However, it was trying to update to the version you have mentioned - which I cancelled. Also, have problems with XBMC - which does not launch.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Did it update to 51.1.40_user_514005520 during the initial setup, or were you somehow able to get through setup without updating?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycab13:
I managed to get past the intial setup by pulling the ethernet connection method. Then went through the non-skip intro video etc. Whilst I was checking on the System tab; noticed that it was downloading the update and had the version number quoted by you. I had the option to cancel the update, which I did - the progress bar was around the half way mark.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freezer2k:
Would it be possible to set up a fake update server providing an old version during the initial setup?

Or is that useless with the units that are being shipped out now?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Wow. You're blowing my mind. Nobody has been able to get past the initial update with a Fire TV running 51.1.3.0 or newer. Either 51.1.40_user_514005520 is unlike all the other 51.1.3.0+ versions (meaning it does not refuse to proceed when it can't reach the update server), or you did something different that got you past the update.

Can you recall exactly what you did and when?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
No. It's been discussed multiple times. The communications is both encrypted and signed.

It's possible the forced flag wasn't set. It seems to not be an across the board thing for different versions. Remember, the german units shipped with the first 51.1.3.0 version and forced the update to the 2nd while the US units that were updated to the first 51.1.3.0 didn't have a forced update to the newer one.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
I wasn't aware that someone with the first 51.1.3.0 in the US was able to get past an update during initial setup. Do you recall if it came with the first 51.1.3.0 brand new or if it was just factory reset with the first 51.1.3.0?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Hrm, that's a good point. I don't know if it acts differently on a factory reset/fresh install vs just an update. I was talking about when we updated to the first 51.1.3.0 it seemed like all the german boxes were forcing to the second while we werent. But I don't think I ever tried a factory reset at that point.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
I'm starting to get more and more convinced that there is a difference between a first time setup and a factory reset, as far as forced updates are concerned. Either that or the German versions of 51.1.3.0 are somehow different from the US versions.

I know for sure that factory reseting a Fire TV running the first 51.1.3.0 will get past the blocked update to the second 51.1.3.0. I did this myself just the other day. Of course, that Fire TV did not come with 51.1.3.0.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard of anyone in the US getting anything above 51.1.1.0 on a new Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycab13:
Surprisingly, I did what was suggested on your site (I assume it is yours?). Anyways, I will try to remember the exact steps:

Powered the box without a network connection.

Paired remote and chose the language

IIRC, then there was the option to choose the network via Wi-fi

Plugged in the Ethernet connection

The box almost immediately picked up my registration details or pre-registered details?

Instantly pulled the Ethernet connection

I had a quick look around the menu system to familiarise myself

I went to System to check the version; it was and still is as I stated

Plugged the Ethernet back in

Noticed it was trying to update, whilst I was playing around trying to disable the dcp update via PC

Cancelled the update

The box has been sitting idle for a good few hours and not trying to update itself. I don't know the implications of this; my sole reason was to stop any further updates in case of a solution in the near future.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nufclad:
I'm annoyed with it. Can't even use NBC Sports Live App.... I can't press the play button with the remote, yet it's an app on the amazon store... So it's an app, I can't do anything with.

Tried an android controller, doesn't work - need root for that.

TBH, I thinking of sending it back and just doing what I done before. Downloading everything and sticking it on USB straight into the tele.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisali:
So - I don't get it, does this give you root?

That's what I have been doing - USB via TV. I was very keen on XBMC on Amazon Fire TV, and USB support via root. :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kas206:
Just got my fire TV. Came with firmware 514005520 installed. I managed to get to the home screen by disconnecting the ethernet cable when i get "checking internet speed" but i get a message saying "home is currently unavailable" when browsing the homescreen.

I was hoping to get root but i guess ill have to wait till there is a workaround :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freezer2k:
If I read the posts above correctly, a factory reset might help here? Can you try that?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kas206:
I plugged to the ethernet cable back in just to see if it forces me to update before i can use it. it doesnt! I could see the a system update downloading in the background in system > settings but i cancelled it. It hasnt foreced me to update before i can watch any videos. I tried playing a few videos and they work fine. I also managed to sideload XMBC but it force closes when i try to open it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Thanks for the info. Yes, it is my site. So it sounds like both you and [MENTION=1802622]Kas206[/MENTION] never saw a "Checking for updates" screen during the initial setup, correct?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycab13:
Great site! I would be more than happy to answer your questions correctly, so you can document it.

I did not see the 'Checking for updates' message at any point, if it did flash then it would have been very brief. The screens/process did not freeze or lock-up at any stage, as suggested in one of the guides with regards to previous FW's/updates. Just like Kas206 - all features/apps seem to be running fine i.e. iplayer, Amazon Instant etc. apart from XBMC which exhibits the same behaviour of exiting out to the system screen when launched.

I am assuming that a manual update to newer firmware 514006420 might be able to fix the above-mentioned problem with XBMC; as it has been reported in a thread on their forums (post id: 207081). Sorry, can't link to it as I don't have much kudos here, yet.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cidereye:
I think you might be right on that. Got my FTV yesterday too but knowing there is no way of rooting it yet with the newer firmware I just set the box up without blocking update etc and allowed it to update to 514006420.

Installed SPMC by sideload and after finally figuring out how to get around a method of installing add-on's when I found I couldn't get it to read .zip files I now have it up and running just fine. Very happy! Like others though I too am having a few problems with Ice etc. Not really a problem for me personally so not too bothered. Everything running very smooth indeed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k6?:
My UK firetrap updated itself during setup. I side loaded xbmc and everything works fine.

I'm looking forward to the unit being rootable though, I want xbmc on the launch screen.

I believe llama can do it, is there a setup guide for that?

It then asked me to verify my prime details and showed me an info video. I am now on the main menu and have FTV (UK): 51.1.40_user_514005520.

I havent plugged the ethernet back in yet however it wont let me do anything as it says "no network connection" but I am on the main screen. Is there a way to plug in the ethernet and disable automatic update?

Now that I havent updated it is there a way to root my version?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
There is no root method for the latest FW. Check here ( http://www.aftvnews.com/software/ ) up to what FW is root available. Germany & UK launches arrived with no root option. Read maybe two folks in UK might of received an older FW FTV. But that is just an * rather then the norm.

You can always try to block updates @ router. Using Method 1 Part 1 = http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-setup-a-new-fire-tv-without-blocking-root/

But UK FTV's on FW 51.1.40_user_514005520 are encourage to get updated FW 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 before continuing router ip blocking for XBMC compatibility. http://www.aftvnews.com/xbmc-kodi-incompatible-with-fire-tv-software-version-51-1-40_user_514005520/

Hi,

After removing the 2 screws you need a credit card to keep going on and open it. If you use a screw driver you'll damage the housing or worst.

The camera vover will pop up and below there is another two screws. Put the credit card on the side and try to seperate the back from the front, keep slowly and without puting any presure on it and you'll see how it opens.
