[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
So as long as we don't mess with the "/System/XBin/SU" then there is no chance of becoming un-Rooted while trying to fix this bug. Although the "/System/XBin/SU" does get updated when we actually install a SuperSU APK or SuperUser APK & allow it to do the normal update. I still prefer SuperSU over SuperUser. So hopefully there will be a fix soon now that RBox is on the case....

Great... And Thanks.. Hopefully that will help us be able to run the latest SuperSU Pro on our FireTV's or at least the latest free version...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBNobody:
You can enable pro features in the App's settings. It is at the very end of the settings, and it only shows up on non-pro installs. (I don't see it on my phone's pro install.)

I guess it solves the problem of not being able to unlock the pro version without having the Google framework installed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
That's odd.. Now it says I have Pro features even if I didn't not purchase Pro on v1.94. Guess the biggest thing would be to always have access to the GUI & be able to update to the latest version.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirxdroid:
That's because the apk really is v1.94 if you look at the apk properties:

> aapt dump badging eu.chainfire.supersu.v1.97.apk | grep version
package: name='eu.chainfire.supersu' versionCode='194' versionName='1.94'

So just having 1.97 in the file name does not make it 1.97 :)

adbfw114 comes with 2.01, I forget whether that version can be opened or not. Worth a try. Or just use 1.94 if it works well.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Good to know... :good:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husky55:
So I installed supersu v1.97 and for the life of me I cannot get SU permission to ADB shell. I have spent the whole day today to unlock the bootloader of my new AFTV using RBOX highly praised app. I do have root of course. My firmware is 51.1.01 user 55620. I got ERROR 126. Please help me!!!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartymcfly:
Did you try?

adb shell su

You can try flashing supersu update zip in cwm recovery.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husky55:
I tried adb shell su all day. Never got the Grant option. I cannot install CWM because I could not unlock the bootlocker.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashsha7877:
it is 2 line command. If you typed adb shell su it probably wont work. It should be

adb shell (press enter)

SU (press enter)

thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] husky55:
I used the 2 line command and repeat the whole process many times. And now I have a new problem. I set my router to reject AZ upgrades but it somehow bypassed my Asus router and upgraded my AFTV to the lastest firmware 51.1.4.2 so I am effed completely, no downgrade no root nothing!!!!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashsha7877:
hi,

I was able to follow your suggestion and it worked, I am now ruining SuperSU v1.94.

Thank you

hi,

i sent you a PM, i wasn't able to post my response here for some reason. I had to returned my first fire tv since amazon apply the updates on my first boot for the fire tv and i found after the updates that i could no longer root and i had to block the updates via router.

If you cant block with your routers, open account with opendsn and block the amazon updates via that way.

thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr4nz0202l:
I can't launch it neither, but I found a fix , and that is to uninstall supersu and unlock the bootloader (You must do it, it doesn't matter If You allready did it), and then lock it, and then unlock it again, this should work, I'll put a link here.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazdaman.:
I have been working out a few nags with my Fire TV lately and the constant SuperSU nag screen to grant permission was one of them.

Solution:

On the Fire TV, go to Settings > Applications > SuperSU.

Clear data and cache of SuperSU

Reboot the Fire TV (Or alternatively, just launch an App that request s SuperSu to recreate the SuperSu config file)

Launch ES File Explorer (With Root Explorer enabled), navigate to /device/data/data/eu.chainfire.supersu/files

Select the supersu.cfg file and "open as" text using ES Note Editor

Edit as below, then exit and save:

[default]

notify=1

log=0

wait=20

access=1

respectcm=0

trustsystem=0

enablemultiuser=0

enableduringboot=0

enablemountnamespaceseparation=0

Apps should now work without the nag screen.

Note: System will need to be mounted as r/w to edit and save the supersu.cfg file

Hi all,

i know this is a little bit off-topic, but I've posted it here in the Universal forum as it's relevant for those of us that have a Crossbow installation on our Universals.

you need version 4.5 of activesync installed to be able to sync.

there's my problem.

I can't get it to install.

the installer gets to about 95% and then the error message appears:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal or package vendor."

can anyone help with this problem?

without Activesync my Universal is (for my) useless. I need my contacts & calendar!

I'm putting my trust and hope in you - don't let me down!

Thanks!

Have you tried downloading it again from Microsoft's site in case the one you have is corrupt?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] effjay:
mmmm....

....seems an incredibly abvious thing to do!

have downloaded it several times though and from different machines.

have also emptied my TEMP folder on the PC before installation.

still no luck.

bugger!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ivorh:
Best option run filemon and see what's happening/failing. Try turning off any virusscanner/any other weird app, that might be running buggering up file operations.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] effjay:
symantec

i guess that our corporate virus scanner is interfering.

annoying. the previous installations never caused any problems.

i'll have to see if i can get it to install another way.

i'll post back if i get lucky!

could i install if i do a safe start in windows?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Greetings,

With my N5 broken this week, and having bought a faulty new one that I'm going to RMA, is it still worth it buying a new nexus 5? Last few days I see the same topics opening in different N5 forums about broken nexi and with a lot of similar problems (power button related). Also, after 1 year of good care, my old nexus seems to be beat up, and certainly not as durable as I thought it would be (cracks at the microusb port). You can say it's a cheap phone, and very good for the price and I would agree. But if the average product age is about 1 year, 400€ per year is quite a lot of money.

So my questions are: how is your nexus 5 holding up after a year? And is it worth buying another one? I don't like screens bigger than 5 inch (5 really is the absolute maximum). And I prefer a near vanilla experience such as the nexus line or motorola's (or even iphone I guess).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Moto X 2014?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
I'm perfectly happy with my N5 after 11 months and it's probably the first smartphone I'll keep for longer than 12 months. To be honest, there have been no new phones that make me want to ditch it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Slightly too big, and can only get the 16gb version in my country.

It was also my first phone that I liked so much, but with all the problems and faulty new ones, my thoughts have altered slightly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
You were unlucky it happens. No phone is immune to issues.

My N5 is practically as new one year later, in my personal experience it feels well built and sturdy. It's taken a few light bumps over the months but none the worse for wear. There are a couple scratches in the screen protector I'm using so I will probably swap that out soon.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slothington:
So I noticed this maybe a month or 2 ago, but wasn't too sure what was up with it (thought it was some setting I messed with), but when I would plug my phone into my car radio and play music, it would come out a lot quieter than my friends. My friend has used both an iPhone 5S and a Galaxy S5 and both output perfectly fine like mine use to, but mine for some reason doesn't. Any ideas why this might be? (could it have been because it updated to 4.4?)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
It's because of audio drivers. Your phone works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] marbulas:
Google updated the security policy of external storage since KK.

The resolution of screen is 2K now.

Not only the quality of taking pictures and videos got better but also the size of them got bigger.

But Google just let microSD go away again.

I don't know why really.

It seems Google 'hates' or feels 'disgusting' about microSD :(
[Nexus 6  General] rydako:
Google will never Include a MicroSD card slot in their Nexus line ever again, they're trying to push for full internet connectivity - grabbing everything off the cloud, which would make expandable storage useless in their eyes. That's all good for countries like the US and UK who can get unlimited mobile data plans for dirt cheap, but those of us in other countries with less ideal data plans are left having to decide between a nexus with limited data storage and a inferior phone with an SD card slot. It's just how it is sadly.
[Nexus 6  General] _delice_doluca_:
I don't think it's all about making us use the cloud. There could bentwood more possibilities I believe;

1) there are many different types of cards out there with different read and write speeds. Having a big storage with low speeds could lead to lag and general slowness..

2) Having a "removable" storage gives you an option to "remove" it, say, for media exchange. But a storage contains two types of data; user objects like musics, pictures and secondly apps which has some files inside of the actual storage also. So removing this storage may fail some apps to run. Companies prevent that by not letting people to store their apps inside of SD cards thus damaging the point of having an "extra" memory.

So I believe having an big internal storage is always betterb for these reasons..
[Nexus 6  General] bradputt:
i thought it's about not letting microsoft earn their patent royalties on their file system????
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Cannot speak for the UK...but the USA is a land of laughably capped data plans. most ISPs be they landline or cellular cap your data usage laughably low. The "cloud" will die a quick death, between data caps from fat-and-happy ISPs and internet non-neutrality.
[Nexus 6  General] ttabbal:
I can think of solutions for everything except pushing the cloud.

Filesystems are a dime a dozen. Just require a non-patented one. Tell the user what's going on prior to formatting it and that they can put it in a windows machine and format it to use it elsewhere. Most people don't swap them about that often. Using a security aware filesystem would solve the problem with apps accessing other apps data as well. Other than root, but rooting the device makes the users responsible for the outcome of giving apps root permission.

Speeds, meh.. Do a test and warn the user that the card is slow. Even crappy slow cards are more than fast enough for all except the higher bitrate HD videos. And few people have constant access to networks faster than even the slower SD cards.

Removing the storage doesn't happen that often. And would happen less if they didn't use a windows compatible filesystem. Apps2Sd is a ridiculous feature when even small phones come with 16GB. It made sense on the G1. Not so much now. When formatting the card, warn the user that apps using that storage might have issues if you remove the card. I don't know many normal users that remove the card, other than to upgrade to a bigger one.

Bigger internal storage is always desirable. However, I think it's ridiculous to remove the card option for users that want it. 64GB is about the level where I can get away without the card, so I will probably end up with an N6. But I find it irritating that Google removes the option. Particularly since I can't think of a reason that isn't self serving for them to do it.

But it is what it is. That's just how they do it right now. If that's a deal breaker for you, you will have to find a different device. I wish they would put the hardware there at least. Even if it required a custom kernel to enable it. But it's not likely to happen anytime soon.
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
I wish people stop *****ing about the MicroSD slot already.

I hope Android 6.0 removes MicroSD all together
[Nexus 6  General] Sher The Love:
Yeah, those people with slow and/or limited data connections who have a need for a lot of storage on their phone are sooooo ridiculous and unreasonable. Google removing MicroSD all together in a future android update is completely the right choice. Consumers should have limited choices in everything they do as should phone manufactures...... Long live blindly following everything Google does and never considering anything but a Nexus cause everything Google does is so right and amazing....

I hope you know that's sarcasm....
[Nexus 6  General] droidguy22:
I don't know why many people don't/fail to understand a simple basic thing about Google, Google makes money when people are online.

Google's fundamental business strategy is - do anything and everything possible to make people go online and spend as much as time as possible on the internet (Free Android, gmail, chrome, drive, Cheap Google Fiber, Google express, failed Google glass, upcoming Self driving cars etc..), so that Google could serve you more online ads, make money on your searches, clicks and would also get more data about your online activity which would enable more data mining.

with SD card in the phone people potentially would not go online as much compared to a phone with no SD card/less built in memory, that's why no SD card in the Nexus and also why Google is trying to kill the SD card support in lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] YYsn:
The lack of a microSD slot makes it hard to decide between the Nexus 6 and Note 4. I don't know why Samsung is able to do it but Google not.
[Nexus 6  General] ttabbal:
Because it has nothing to do with ability. It's a choice, plain and simple. Why they make that choice is debatable, but anything we think is speculation. I generally go with "follow the money". Google gains if people are using the cloud more. But that's just opinion.

It's not a technology issue, every one of those I've seen trotted out is easy to work around.

Between the note 4 and Nexus 6... The biggest difference is touchwiz really. People will say that AOSP roms will be made. And they are right. However, note 3 still lacks a fully functional AOSP that is as stable as stock. Even if you don't care about the missing hardware support like NFC. The stability just isn't there. It's gotten much better recently, but I'm stuck on touchwiz because of it. So if you buy a note4, be sure you don't mind that. There's nothing wrong with that choice, it's a great device and looks like it works well.
[Nexus 6  General] Neverendingxsin:
The iPhone doesn't have an SD card and you don't see those users complaining. Why not just get the 64GB version and have more than enough space for photos and stuff? For the average user (which Google is targeting) they won't need more than 32GB of space, let alone 64GB.
[Nexus 6  General] gtalum:
I too wish Google would leave in an SD slot as an option. That said, I suspect that 64GB is more than enough storage for 90% or more of users, so I see why they leave it off the Nexus line. I think 64 will be more than I'll need in the next 2 years so I'm not really concerned. I may load up a 64 GB OTG solution with movies for when I'm traveling.
[Nexus 6  General] Nucleotide:
As above, Google want you using the cloud. It's not that they can't do it - they just don't want to. Simple as that. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
But at the time same if Google was really that concerned with making people use the cloud why would they offer 64 GB? Why not stick with the Nexus 4 mottle of 8/16GB? That makes more sense in the pushing people to the cloud argument.

I love the cloud, but like most people I don't have unlimited data or perfect signal everywhere I go. Options are key. That said I will still get a Nexus because I love everything else about it (minus the non removable battery) and I've had them all so far. And USB on the go is not very convenient (I've used it for a couple years) for what most of us want to use them for. For a plane ride sure, but not practical for daily use.
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
A better question is.. why don't we have minimum 128 gigs of internal storage? Hell even 256? How expensive is it for companies to include this much storage? Apple does, so why can't Google?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
With ART, the cache run partition for apps is going up quite a bit in size. Like double. People who needed Apps2SD on 16GB phones might still have problems with 32GB phones under ART.
[Nexus 6  General] Nickjg11:
That's also true. It complicates things with art. But more importantly as repeated here, Google is promoting cloud storage.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
I don't buy that because even 32gb is more than enough for most people...
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
This is one of the truths. The other is that Google finds cloud storage the more viable option as well.

But in all honesty, if you seriously need more than 50GB of storage for your phone, you seriously have a problem with transferring files off of your device and to a computer/server. Even with my Nexus 4 I never exceeded the 16GB/12GB the device had available for storage.

I move my pictures and video to my external HDD once a month, move the ones I share often to my G+ Photo drive so I can always access them when needed.

I hardly keep music on my phone aside from when I make them into ringtones/notifications. I suggest any diehard music fan to simply get a PMP if you want to listen to music while on the go. PMP's have an independent battery and last FAR longer than your phone will, plus it will not drain your phone's battery and PMP's have proper quality sound compared to phones where it just works fine but does not offer true quality sound. Plus a PMP will allow more storage options as well for those with the insane music collections like I do.

Seriously between these two things, the only thing that has ever been close of a threat to taking up my phone storage is my ROM backups, which I never keep more than 2 at a time on my device since they eat up storage so often. Again they can be put on an external drive whether it be your computer or personal server.
[Nexus 6  General] SetPT:
OTG Reader?
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this only the case if they use the FAT/NTFS system? I would be very happy with an ext4 or like linux partition. If people can't figure it out then they don't have to use it. No royalties charged then.
[Nexus 6  General] rydako:
you don't buy what, that I consider support for SD cards an important feature? I just like the flexibility of extra space, the times my 32GB nexus 5 has run out of space have been few, but it has happened, I'll be buying the 64GB nexus 6, and I'd expect the same thing to happen. Times when it'll start to run out of space will be few, but it will happen and there will be those moments that I curse google for not liking SD cards.. The flexibility of increasing that space if you want/need to is valued quite highly by many people.

The issue is, I value the nexus brand and attention google and the community gives it more than I value support for SD cards. I will have these issues, but I bear with them due to these reasons. It gets annoying sometimes, but that's how it is.
[Nexus 6  General] aSquard:
It's not that Google is unable to do it, they just won't. So you have a choice... Go with Google's Nexus devices KNOWING there's never going to be an SD card slot OR pick Samsung (until they stop making SD slots too)
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Its not as easy as "reformatting the partition".

FAT32 is the DEFAULT filesystem that is SHIPPED and SOLD with MicroSD cards. Because of this manufactures have to comply by FORCE to use the filesystem if they ever want to even have MicroSD support in their devices. You simply cannot just have a MicroSD reader in a device and not have the ability to read FAT32, they could not and will not sell it like that, no one in their right minds in common consumer markets would without pissing off many masses of people and Microsoft for trying to screw them out of profit by supporting MicroSD without somehow it being readable to FAT32.

You have to remember here, we are the minority of the populace that even know what "reformatting" is, let alone the differences between FAT32, ext4, and so on. Either you add MicroSD support and be forced to shell out for MS on the patent use of the default filesystem or not have a MicroSD reader and have no strings attached to paying anything to MS, which Google and many other OEM's are pursuing all except for Samsung mostly.
[Nexus 6  General] joshndroid:
you exactly hit the nail on head when it comes to samsung and nexus. i strayed from nexus for a note 3 and have regretted it since. Over a year in my hands and aosp rom still lag and reboot.

As for sd card support, i am saddened by the fact that it will not have sd card support however i plan to atleast do a bit better as the minimum choice for the n6 is 32gb unlike the 16gb i am going to be using for the n9
[Nexus 6  General] Schoat333:
Why would they add an SD card now, after years of not having one? I would never expect an SD card slot on a Nexus device.
[Nexus 6  General] iZack187:
Just to give my 2 centz to this story, the reason I love external storage is because I love XDA. On my Note 3, I tend to flash, wipe, and install new kernels/roms at least twice a month. With that said, I always always always do a full data wipe, even a nuke wipe lol (GS2ROMNuke). I only store personal media on my sd card, 30gb of music a few gb of youtube videos and some P2P torrent files. I also include different NANDROID backups and Titanium backups. I like knowing that my personal files are separated and always safe.

I'm planning to get the Nexus 6, but that part alone will suck for me. I won't be able to do full wipes anymore because:

1) I'm gonna lose my personal files

2) I'm gonna end up deleting the custom rom/kernel/package i'm about to install...

So somebody like myself will have no choice with to have an OTG Reader and constantly transfer back and forth my personal files...
