[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dismissthesky:
Ever since I installed the recovery menu and the latest pre-rooted FW I've had a few issues I can't seem to pin to anything. For one thing, now every time I reboot I get the Amazon boot splash screen followed by the updating software screen, as though it's installing a new update, which it isn't. Is this normal?

If so I can live with that, but installing the custom FW has now broken the google play store and Aptoide, leaving me sideloading everything. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of the associated APKs but it doesn't make a difference at all. Starting either market just momentarily starts the app just to immediately close it and kick me back to the launcher. Any ideas here?

Trying to get late October 2014 Netflix working on FireTV

I updated my fireTV to bueller-51.1.4.0_514006420-rooted and the new Netflix didn't play videos- some DRM issue. I downgraded to bueller-51.1.3.0_513011820-rooted and had to install Netflix. It was the old version and played fine. I took the Netflix app from 51.1.4.0 before I downgraded:

com.netflix.ninja-1.apk MD5: ae2a3cfa57a599e6bd13069d9928b725

It doesn't install on 51.1.3.0:

>adb install com.netflix.ninja-1.apk

1506 KB/s (8039804 bytes in 5.211s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.netflix.ninja-1.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
Interesting. Amazon must have bumped their SDK version. I'm going to see if I can easily disable the forced upgrade so the old Netflix might still work on the new version. In the end, I need to figure out what's wrong though.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraqh3d:
The "Amazon Kernel Not Patched" error is normal. It's telling you that the image contained a stock Amazon kernel therefore it was not patched. Did you install the alternate Amazon AppStore by chance? I do not have the alternate Amazon AppStore installed and I just upgraded three firetv's in the last 30 minutes. One was on the previous "broken" version so the new Netflix was already installed. It connected immediately and I played a video. I proceeded to upgrade my other two. They both prompted me through the download and installation of the new Netflix. I had to re-enter my credentials in each but they worked.

I have version 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 and have installed Boot Menu with custom recovery 6.0.5.1.4. Can I update custom rom 51.1.4.1_514013920 without installing Pre-Rooted ROM version 51.1.4.0 first? Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
NO...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinhdt1:
Thanks. Also, do I need to remove the Boot Menu and lock the bootloader? Or can I leave it and just install Pre-Rooted ROM version 51.1.4.0 first, reinstall the Boot Menu and then install Pre-rooted 51.1.4.1_514013920? Thanks again.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I think once you partially unlock the bootloader you leave it like that.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinhdt1:
Thanks Y314K, I have successfully installed 51.1.4.0. How do I know if my partially unlock bootloader is still there and can I proceed to install the Boot Menu or do I need to check to make sure the bootloader is still unlock first? Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I don't think PreRooted FW flashing will get rid of any of that. If you can still go into the CWM custom recovery 6.0.5.1.4 which requires the unlock bootloader then your good.. I thought you mentioned you already had the boot menu installed ??

Hopefully you have CWM 6.0.5.1.4a installed insead of 6.0.5.1.4...

Firmware upgrade.

I have couple questions...

When upgrading to newer pre-rooted firmware, should I clear cache in recovery?

Another one... I'm on 51.1.4.0, rooted, boot menu, recovery... If I want to start over what is the best way? What needs to be cleared (data in recovery?), reset option in FTV launcher? Will recovery and boot menu stay?

Dolphin Browser crashes on Prerooted 51.1.4.0_514006420

I have prerooted 51.1.4.0_514006420 version on my FireTV and I want to report that Dolphin Browser will crash if Jetpack is turned on. Is this also happening on the latest prerooted version ?

Dolphin Browser with Jetpack was working fine on prerooted version 51.1.3.0_513011820
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
You should probably complain to the Dolphin developers...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
You would need to do it from ADB or the way I do it is I use ES File Explorer or a similar app. If it's a Google Store app you might need a mouse to control it right. Since they are touch based. Holding the button press for a while over a file will give you the option to move/copy/delete it.

Just wondering if prime videos stopped working for anyone else?

I am on the latest pre rooted and tried to watch a video last night and it errored out.

At work now and can't give the exact error message but it was a dialog that I believe said unknown error has occured.

Worked fine a few days ago.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
I was watching prime last night just fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snorkel01:
OK, found out what the issue was. I was unaware but if XBMC/KODI is left suspended in the background, i.e. you hit the home button on the remote without exiting XBMC/KODI the

prime video does not work. I can do it everytime.

Not a big deal I guess.

On boot script

How would I add a shell script to run when the device boots? You can assume a high level of technical knowledge :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
There have been various discussion on this topic. There is a script install-recovery.sh that gets run on boot. If you extract the boot image you can see the full path to it and when and how it gets called.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schybiorz:
you have to look under following path:

here are also Clockworckmod backup's saved.

i use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=web.oss.sshsftpDaemon&hl=de

and set ftp autostart (start program, click on the big button in the middle and press menue key, go into settings scroll down, and active start on boot) at boot, so i can use filezilla in windows for filetransferring :)

BE CAREFUL – this bricked 2 of my fire TV’s. Both were rooted on the 51.1.4.1 with the latest CWM. Update went just as I would expect, then on reboot all I get is the white amazon logo and a black screen. No recovery via keyboard either. Really dumb of me to try it again on a second box, but I thought there is no way, these firmware updates have been solid. This one failed me bigtime. There went two rooted fire tv’s. Anyone successfully updated from this version of the firmware?

I have confidence in Rbox roms, and everything seemed to go perfectly, but both FireTV are dead now

Did you check MD5sum of the downloaded file by chance?

Did you have full bootloader unlock? You might be able to run ADB/Fastboot over USB and reflash.....
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crayneogeo:
Thanks or the advice. All of my firetv are fully unlocked, so I will give the ADB/fastboot process a try. I googled through a bunch of pages but could not find a recent guide to do this though. Anyone have a link?

I did recheck the checksum and it was correct as well.

Thank you.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattvirus:
You'd need the proper USB cable to connect the firetv to a PC....

from command line run "fastboot devices" and/or "adb devices" and see if anything shows up as a connected device...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crayneogeo:
I plugged my firetv into my computer via the a-a cable. The white amazon logo stays on the screen now, and I get a device in device manager, but it says "android sooner adb interface". It seems to be installed right, but I cannot see it with a list of adb "adb devices". also, where does the fastboot executable come from? I do not seem to have it on my machine. I was using the adb from one of the adbfire folders I had. Maybe I am missing a driver install.

Is there anybody using 4Gb cards in the trinity?

Can it be an SDHC? Or is there already 4GB non SDHC mini SDs?
[P3600 General] tower5:
Memory speed & specs

are there special requirements in terms of tranfer speed ?

could a 133x mini SD 4 Gb ( Samsung nand flash ) works correctly in our trinity ( to be used as storage for gps Maps , MP3 and pictures ) ?

I don't care about video streaming or other video performances..

Please let us know wich kind of memory are used in your devices.....

Thanks for any reply
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
So far SDHC doesn't work, hopefully a new ROM will fix that. People have reported that a standard 4gb miniSD will work when it is formatted to FAT32. I'll let you know in a few days when mine arrives...

Im using the Dopod Test rom, and now my 4GB SDHC card works perfectly.
[P3600 General] Jazza:
I am also using same card from the same company with no obvious problems. I also bought a USB mini SD card reader from them as a bundle and interestingly its the only way that I can reliably read and write to the 4Gb card with a PC. To be more specific I found using a mini SD to SD adaptor with a standard SD card reader didn't work (probably old card reader, or possibly because SD spec is maxed out at 2Gb).
[P3600 General] moucha:
I use the 4 GB MiniSD from Topram

Works fine for already 2 weeks. If I have any problems, I shall report them.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
Yes, I've just tested the TopRam miniSD too, its working like a charm. I guess when I update my ROM, I'll be able to use the SDHC 4gb that I already bought. I'll have to say that all performance being equal, the normal flash card might be better since it will work in most card readers. SDHC card readers are hard to find.

Thanks, with that info I just bought one from newegg for $43.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
I hope that you bought a card reader that is compatible with SDHC also, otherwise the only way you will be able to read that card is with it in your phone. I must have 4 card readers and a laptop with one built-in, none of them will read SDHC format.

So far I've only heard one person say that they have the SDHC card working on their device running the test ROM. If you really want to know, you'd better wait a week or so, or just order the normal 4gb mini SD which would be compatible with most card readers.

[P3600 General] Ulti:
Hi,

can you tell me the advantages between a

normal MiniSD-Card and the SDHC Version of it ?

Mfg Ulti and THX !
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
I think the advantage is that SDHC format allows for a much larger capacity in the future. SDHC also supports a very fast transfer rate, but I don't think these devices can utilise it...

I don't think you gain anything with SDHC for a phone, maybe the transfer rate could be useful in a camera or an SDHC compatible card reader.

Topram 4 GB MiniSD FAILURE

After 2 weeks of perfect work, my 4 GB MiniSD card from Topram started to fail ! In the beginning, certain applications just froze on the PDA and when the PDA had been restarted, their icons switched from original to the standard icon for "executable application".

Yesterday I formatted the card, copied everything from backup (fortunately, I keep it always updated so I lose nothing) and today the problem repeated.

I tried to format the card again today but the newly installed Vista cannot format (the format lasts around 20 minutes, then a message is prompted that Vista cannot format the device).

I shall contact Topram. Be careful: it seems that the MiniSD is a short living memory card.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
I've heard reports about lots of Trinity users having problems with their miniSD cards. It will hopefully be fixed in a ROM upgrade. Did you try the card in another device?
[P3600 General] moucha:
Finally

I formatted the card with Vista and I shall use it as a USB memory stick. I have always kept a backup of all my data on a Topram 2GB MiniSD card which never had any problems with neither my Qtek 9100, nor my P3600.

I still thing the problem is card related, not PDA related. One more note, the actual speed of the 4 GB card is 1/3 of the speed for the 2 GB card. How did I measure the speed ? By copying 1.7 GB of same data on both cards and measuring the time it took.

Anyway, I am hardly waiting for the new OS release by HTC.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
Yeah, write speeds are always the bottleneck. However in normal use, often the read speed is the most important which is usually much faster. I hope I have better luck with my Topram 4gb. I haven't had a chance to really test it properly yet but so far I've had no problems.

my only problem , at the moment...the very slow speed to transfer maps or similar big files form PC to card..

any suggestion?

this is a miniSD 4 Gb bought on Ebay from fastmemoryman (US)
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
If it is a new type SDHC miniSD then it is really difficult to find a cardreader that will work with it...yet, since the format is so new. If you have a regular miniSD, most of the new card readers should work with it, you might try buying a new one. Cardreader is the preferred way to transfer big files like music, maps etc., otherwise it takes FOREVER.

I checked the card with file explorer and hey presto, all the files and folders have done the disappearing act (although the system still reports that 200MB+ is in use). What a PITA! Should I get a 2GB card while I pray that HTC fix this issue? Has anyone reported any issues with the 2GB cards? Are there any known techniques to fix this problem? I've tried restarting the device, removing & reinserting the card...

I'm using the 2nd Dopod test ROM, so far I've had no problems with my TopRam 4gb miniSD. I did format it in my laptop using XP. Once I formatted it using Resco File Explorer and had problems with it. I think the problems using the cards are with the device ROM and not the cards.

Does anyone know of similar issues with 2Gb Cards are they all plain sailing?
[P3600 General] User22:
Well mates, i been having some problems also, but by now i solved it by formating my 4GB card on FAT ( NOT FAT32).

I still watching it but looks like no more problems and working faster.
[P3600 General] Matterhorn:
Do you still get 4gb storage space out of it?

I had been using a 4gb Transcend SD card in my Prophet for over a year formatted in FAT32. It never gave any problems so I just assumed that I should use the same with the MiniSD.

The only thing that has happened with my TopRam miniSD is that sometimes after copying music to it, the MSmetadata folder gets corrupted and I have to delete it and redue the library. I think this is the fault of the OS though. I've never seen files disappear.
[P3600 General] User22:
The main reason to format on FAT was that card was corrupting data and desapearing folders.

Here are the reading actually: Total storage card memory 3985.69 MB

In use 2492.00 MB and Free 1439.69 MB
[P3600 General] Loboman:
I got the same problem. They don't reply to my emails either. Were you able to return it?

I notice that my card will become unreadable if I put too much data on it. I don't know where the limit is, but it seems to work ok with 2.5GB used. I'll buy a Sandisk instead, but I want my money back from Mobymemory first.

I am using the new dopod rom on a p3600, transcend 4 gb sdhc from newegg. Works great with both tomtom maps and music. Only have 50 megs free so space does not seem a factor.
