Having a hard time.

So I have the OtterX setup. But I can't get the ROM on my kindle. I can turn the kindle on and get into TWRP (which is v2.7.1.0). Also I can't connect to my kindle through ADB or Fastboot. Since I installed the Recovery I haven't been able to connect to it. I have the partitions setup correctly (I think) and it is OtterX not Amazon for partitions. I can't push or anything. Any help would be appreciated! If you need anymore information please don't hesitate to ask!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Windows version?

installed drivers from Kindle Fire Utility?

In Device manager>select unknown device or device with a yellow triangle>Update driver software>

browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of Device Drivers on my computer>

show all(uncheck show only compatible)>look for ADB interface or android phone

select yes to Ignore warning

may need to reboot both.﻿

Started a Thread [How To] Fix Lollipop Install Errors, Partition sizes, Unable to Mount System... with some possible fixes for those having issues since converting to OtterX, with pushing files, failure to mount system errors when installing Lollipop Roms...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Okay new thing. I am able to connect through ADB when I'm in recovery. But whenever I try to push the file it will take a minute to say done, but whenever I go to where it should be it is simply not there. But thanks! I didn't expect an answer that soon!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
when that happens to me, if I reboot >recovery, it should show up, think it's a refresh issue.

or SD card is not quite right.

compare partitions and file systems with what I posted in my thread
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
I know that they are the correct size but are all of the partitions supposed to be ext4, I can't figure out how to get to your post on it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
all should say Present: Yes

system: Current file System: Ext4 - Size: 751MB (768MB)

Cache: _Current File System: Ext4 - Size: 503MB (512MB)

Data:__Current File System: f2fs - Size: 5820MB (5880mb)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Well crap...they aren't the right size could have sworn. But my file types are correct. How do you change the size using ADB?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
You don't.

Reboot to bootloader, select Amazon partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot to bootloader select OtterX partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot, format data, wipe all partitions. recheck partitions
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Now my formats are correct but this is what the partition sizes are:

data: 5800

cache: 503

System 751
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
try adb push
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
still... it will push and then it will wait a minute then say 2370 KB/s (212369460 bytes in 87.470s)

and there is nothing in the sdcard
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
try rebooting
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
That didn't work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
try re formatting data to a different file system ext4 or other

wipe all partitions, reformat data to f2fs

wipe all again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Still..nothing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Reboot to bootloader, select Amazon partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot, format data, wipe all partitions,

reboot to bootloader select OtterX partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot, format data, wipe all partitions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Still nothing. But just want to take this moment to thank you for all of ur help. Srsly dude thanks!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Okay I did that fine and my fastboot is working now. But when I get into mounting I'm not sure what to mount and I've tried a lot and it won't show up on my computer. Also it says:

E: MTP already enabled

[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
MTP is only thing selected

do not select mount usb
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thadigus:
Okay what do I do from there then.

Is this only for the otterx or will it work on otter also?

VPN Connection

Hi

I installed CM12.0 but I could not use VPN!!

when I use android VPN, it connects but the internet connection wont go through it!!

I found out this by checking my IP.

I tried to use some VPN apps but they either have same problem or does not connect at all with a error like:

"Transparent proxy configuration command failed: error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported"

Is it only me or others have problem with VPN too?

what can I do to solve this problem?

Thank you.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jdmbfan:
High accuracy...I always use high accuracy...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Does it show you in the correct place in maps? If it doesn't use the send feedback button and send Google a report.

Most likely the WiFi access point you are pinging has the wrong location in Googles database.

I've had good results with Google fixing this on two occasions.

Yes, it is normal.

Simply put, Android has complex - dynamic - ways of using and re-using RAM space.

As long as you don't see messages like "unable to start program", you're on the safe side.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] redpoint73:
Its normal. It doesn't benefit Android to have RAM free, and in fact its usually more efficient to have RAM as full as possible. This lets you quickly access commonly used apps, instead of stopping and starting them every time.

Also, be careful about using task killers for many of the same reasons. Freeing RAM has little benefit, but constantly killing and restarting tasks can actually impact performance, battery, or cause other issues.

Ryanbg - note 4 DE re-unlock bootloader

Hi ryan, i was told to contact you about trying to re-unlock my note 4 developer edition bootloader. I cant post in the development section yet, so here i am. I made a huge mistake by flashing the note 4 stock rom on my note 4 DE. Before doing so i permanantly erased everything under advanced settings in TWRP. The icing on the cake is that i deleted my custom rom backup too. Can you help me? If my device becomes bricked i do have a protection plan under verizon and may be able to get a new stock note 4. Im decently tech savvy and will gladly help you out in any way.

Thanks, Adam

is it possible to flash a developer edition rom to a retail note 4 verizon

Just curious
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
No. You can't flash anything on the retail Note 4. You don't have root and you don't have a custom recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dale2x2:
I guess I asked the wrong question

Is it possible to flash stock de firmware on retail note 4 after hearing of de editions being turned into retail it had me curious
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brittoking:
No there are device specific aboot and other individual phone markers that prevent you from flashing a RE and making it a DE. It sure would be nice to have someone on the inside able to help us with this or get our devs a specific program allowing this type of thing though

Flashing aboot

I have my aboot and I have tried to make it flashable but it fails. I have stripped all the zeroes from the last bit of data to the very end of the mbn file using HxD. I then used 7-zip to tar the aboot.mbn to aboot.tar. I then flash it. What I see on my phone is:

Product Name: SM-N910V

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

Reactivation Lock(KK): Off

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable (CSB)

RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1

Secure Download: Enable

UDC START

SECURE CHECK FAIL: aboot

This is a devloper edition phone that was flashed with retail stock firmware in order to get Samsung Gear VR up and running. The aboot was saved using EFS pro beta before hand by itself and then all partitions were backed up. I can share aboot if needed. I dont have linux so I cant md5 the tar if that is required. I can send the aboot if needed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagery77:
I think I locked my bootloader

I have purposely steered clear of advanced operations as I can't wrap my head around many of those concepts. I've been safely rooting for the last 7 years until now. I just got my DE a few days ago and was having random reboots. I made recovery backups like I've always done before and thought that was enough since I don't do anything passed a few Xposed modules (tethering, ad removal) which is what I think was causing the reboots. I decided to start from scratch and applied SM-910V (I'm certain) firmware to find it will not root now. From the hours of reading I've done, I think my bootloader is locked.

I continue reading here now, but it seems I was supposed to backup aboot and Samsung can't help either? Since the device is 4-5 months old, I was hoping to find more positive information.

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Where did you get the "SM-910V firmware? If you got it from here xda: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937 and used the "Full Firmware" then you have locked your bootloader. Go to post #2, the OP offers two sets of downloads-one for retail versions of the Note 4 and one set for Developer Edition Note 4s. If you downloaded and installed a file from the retail set then you've locked your bootloader. However, you should be able to restore with your backed up aboot as you have tried. I'm not sure what you have to do to create a flashable aboot. Hopefully someone will chime in here and help you out. You can try PMing ryanbg to solicit his help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagery77:
Thank you for the reply. I got the firmware from Sammobile which I thought was reputable. I didn't get it from here because I wanted to unroot completely and go back to stock in case an Xposed setting was not the culprit for reboots. The firmwares I found here confused me as they seemed to specify rooted and retail versions. I guess it was dumb to assume Sammobile SM-910V firmware was actually for SM-910V device. I thought I was being careful.

From what I've been reading, normal backups don't appear to include aboot. So I think I'm effed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Yeah, the file you got from Sammobile was retail firmware which will lock your bootloader, they don't understand the difference between a Developer phone and a retail phone. But, if you backed up your aboot as you say then all is not lost. Try giving ryanbg a PM to see if he can take the back up you have and create a flashable file for you. He has done that for some other users. Also, there are a few active members here on this forum that may be able to help. Manbat and EMSPilot may be able to help you. Give them a PM also. Good luck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juxto2010:
Locked Note 4 DE

I don't think that bagery77 backed up his aboot or at least he hasn't said he has in any of his posts. Samsung will be of no help either, I was told by tech support that if the phone is 100% stock and the download screen says Official that the phone has a one year warranty against failure. Note that the unlocked bootloader or Developer warranty is only 30 days. I was told (and have not confirmed) that if the phone suffers from a defect that is not related to flashing the phone or any physical damage that Samsung would replace the phone with another Developer Edition phone. I have sent a PM to Ryan with my aboot and will flash it to my phone as soon as I get it back to confirm a bootloader unlock from a full retail flash. If it works and does unlock my bootloader I will either be donating to Ryan or pledging to a cause of his choice. I just find it hard to believe that Samsung would say here is a developer device and then hoard the software to allow a 100% clean flash file like Motorola does. This is my first Samsung device but I have had several Motorola Developer devices. Side note, Gear VR works great!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
You're right. You stated that you backed up your aboot, he did not. I got the two post confused. Not hard for me to do, lol. I hope ryanbg comes through for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juxto2010:
Locked Note 4 DE

So I have been following the threads for root on the retail versions and I was wondering that if once root is obtained will that increase my chances of restoring my locked Dev edition device or am I kinda boned. I have other blocks backed up besides the aboot as well but I am not having any luck with flashing my backed up aboot back to my device. I haven't heard back from Ryan yet but I am hopeful that one way or another I will regain an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanbg:
You forgot to trim off some of the junk data at the end of the aboot, and the 00's padding.

Open your aboot backup with a hex editor. You'll want to delete everything AFTER the highlighted data, but don't delete the highlighted data. Only then can you tar it and flash.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
I'm confused. How do you tell what is junk data and what is good? I tried to help him and would like to know how to edit mine as well. From the way you said before it sounded like we just needed to remove the zeros at the end. I'm lost. At least I know EFS Pro will restore it lol. But a flashable would be much better.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanbg:
Well before the S5/N4 all you needed to do was get rid of the 00s but there's actually a memory leak in the S5/N4 bootloader which copies a portion of a function in the bootloader to just after the second signature, which needs to be removed in order to pass signature verification. I'd thought they'd have fixed it by now, but I guess they haven't patched it yet.

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

If you did happen to have an old S3/S4/N3 or any HTC/Motorola device based on Qualcomm chipsets that you can part ways with, I'd certainly appreciate it and pay for shipping. Even if it has a broken screen or parts, as long as it powers on, it'd be useful to me. They'd be used for research and development. That's only if it's lying around and collecting dust and you have no use for it. Otherwise a simple thank you is more than sufficient. It's really unfair how Samsung uses such a poor method for unlocking the bootloader and will refuse to service or repair such a device. If they aren't going to help anyone, who will? If anything, I'm protecting their Developer edition consumers from disaster.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
So if I'm understanding this right I need to do the same to my bootloader? I have the same lines after what you highlighted. Just delete below the highlighted area along with the zeros at the end?
