But one day it the middle of the night i was half dead i noticed it wanted to update the phone, not thinking i accept and moments later i wake up again to it being done. Not paying attention till about when i get up to go to work. I find all my gestures not working, i open up the app to it saying i dont have root access...i check supersu and it also states i dont have root access. I also re-downloaded stumproot to check if root is available and no...please help i dont know what i doenloaded i feel like a complete dumbo head right now.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck4100:
I updated to lolipop, rooted and unlocked BL and some things are missing, most notably the nvidia power control. Pretty sure my tab is stuck in low performance/battery saving mode and the settings page to go to performance or whatever is no longer present.

So I was wondering if there was a place I can get the apps, or if any rooted users can pull them off theirs and share them.

I have the 16gb wifi.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck4100:
I have only done normal reboots since updating, it did not freeze or restart during the update if thats what you meant.

I don't know what the issue is, but lots of apps broke across the update. Things like facebook give me -506 error not installing but the apk is still in /data/app.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarRaven:
I've heard FB has some kind of issue that some recommend to uninstall for time being.

I mean a hard reset, not a reboot. Go into settings, back up & reset, wipe all. You will lose everything, back up what you want save.

Always a good idea to wipe when doing a large update such as L5, and especially L5.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
Hi all, so this has taken some fiddling and I still am not even close to it doing what I want.

UK model, L09. I've got it onto build MT7-L09V100R001C00B127.

Trying and failing (and now falling asleep on my keyboard) to get it back to the 'standard' UK box-fresh state, but it's not playing ball.

Questions -

1) is this the latest one?

2) When I try and do a factory reset, it seems to reset but I see a 'cust fail' and then it 'fails'. It comes up with the welcoming dialogue etc with a reboot, BUT all the apps are just on the pages - it's not as if it's brand new out of the box (with widgets then only a few apps on first page, etc.). It also doesnt have the 'default' theme applied, and I thought the default keyboard should be set to the white one, not the google one. Please help?

3) Apps- after flashing the above firmware (which I think(?) is right, it seems to have a few apps wrong compared to unboxings that I've seen on youtube. I thought it was meant to come with polaris office, for example.

4) It seems to have a very odd app called 'Payment UICC' which I'm sure shouldnt be there....

Please please help, I've been desperately battling with this for a day solidly now and don't seem to have managed to do much otehr than make it go Chineze and then have to restart everything again (my mistake, flashed the wrong firmware in a moment of tiredness).

If you can help, and are ever visiting London UK, I'll buy you a few pints!

I don't think my search is working properly on XDA sometimes, I just noticed that it showed 0 results for the same search I was using, but then I 've got a spinner. That's from the L90 forums page,. Although I don't think ABP would block it. Or maybe I was using D4xxx because, you know, pr0n.

I didn't know there were that many of them, but good. I wanted to look at what errors other ROMs are experiencing relative to things like GPS and video problems on D415.. I'll see if I can round up something to help with that, and I guess mods can move/close this out because it's in the wrong place. How do you summon them? :P

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassil2022:
Got my unicorn today. It is huge and awkward to hold. The screen is okay after selling my Galaxy S4 and using LG G pad 8.3 as a daily driver until I got N6. (I know weird). However, I noticed that the speakers are not really loud. I thought since it has tow speakers and placed on front, it should be loud. Also, when I call someone and put him on speaker mode, only the top speaker works. The bottom one doesn't. Can someone confirm that please?

Is there anything I can do or tweak to make it louder?

Thanks,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Younex:
Nexus 5, black, 32 GB, 6 months of light usage

It happened without any reason ... Everything was going as usual, I did nothing new or different.

Battery level was ±10% when I put it on charge, at 00:00, standby.

Around 4:30 am, the charger was burning hot and issued a sharp whistle, (also smelt the toasted metal/plastic) I immediately unplugged my Nexus which was unusually hot near the CPU location (2/3 the height, center).

The phone never boot up again. Vol+ & Power don't work, and nothing shows up when I put it back on charge with a different charger.

Now, when I put it back to charge, it heats up at the same point, and according to iFixit : Nexus 5 Teardown, there're some stuff related to charging and power management :

I can clearly notice a very slight mark on the back, under the camera/flashlight. Since the phone was wearing its cover all the time, I'm wondering where this came from...

If you use the screen protector, you should make a hole on it right at the position of sensor, with a thin knife.

I use a flashlight torch shine the screen to locate the sensor. It's a little below the front camera with the width x height about 1-2cm x 0.5cm.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Bellmig:
I tried to use my netgear firewall and I do not feel confident that those are working; i only know that it is blocking the amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net site, the other two shows as unavailable not as blocked and montoya-ota can be searched at google. Opendns is not available thanks to my provider.

I tried to use sideloaded firewalls and blockers but those look for a com.android.vpndialogs.apk that is not present in the AFSTV. Can it be added to make those apps usable?

My 360 antivirus says that the AFSTV has a mms vulnerability. Is that vulnerability update related?

i used the built in netgear firewall to block them when i was setting up my fire tv box and when it tried to dl the updates it wasnt able to so you should be fine
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
It's fairly common for routers to be unable to block updates.amazon.com and softwareupdates.amazon.com because the Fire TV does not use HTTP to communicate with those domains and many routers can only block HTTP communication.

I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as you are sure amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net is blocked. Blocking only that domain is sufficient. The other two domains and the keyword block are just backups incase Amazon changes the update files to come from a domain other than amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net.

Try to download one of the update files from AFTVnews.com/software and if it gets blocked, then you know your amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net block is working.

Sideloaded/software firewalls are not reliable since they usually won't detect/block the update file if it comes from one of Amazon's CDN servers, which is often the case.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech3475:
I find my asus router does block updates but you only know it when testing by trying the direct download links.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antisoma:
If I block all three sites/domains suggested on your site through openDNS netflix will not work, it opens with a error message. I might try blocking just amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net but given that I am not rooted at the moment and on the most recent firmware I'm not sure it is worth doing.

My stick unfortunately shipped with the 54.1.0.1_user_101016220 update already installed. I blocked further Amazon updates through my router but then I stupidly hooked the stick up at my parent's house where the block is not in place. The stick downloaded the update and now it keeps telling me it will update when not in use. I pulled the power and left it. Is there a way to delete what it downloaded or to prevent the update from installing at this point?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
just to dispel the myth;

SPL 1.01MFG Flashing via mtty is NOT faster than using the RUU; HTC do not deliberately slow down the process, that's just bloody stupid; the reason it can take longer is if you include a Radio ROM, because flashing a radio takes sodding ages, but can people please learn that using a proper NBH is a smarter and safer way to flash their Hermes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
I second that. this myth appeared because 1.01MFG was the first bootloader that allowed us to flash unsigned, but it didn't allow to flash a radio. So there was the general "feeling" that signature checking was slowing down the process, but it was not: the slowness is caused by flashing the radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
True, but from strictly a ROM cooker perspective, its not faster. It takes time to build/run the RUU & when you're testing cooked roms, its just far easier to fire up the sspl 1.01MFG and lnb the new os.nb directly.

I understand safety to be the presence of BL v1.10.Oli at location 50020000.

Consequently, I keep this version flashed and test out cooked ideas (currently I'm working on the ATI video issue so I've been flashing a lot of test roms) using your 1.01MFG sspl bootloader.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Expanding on this, I believe that production cooked ROMs should include your 1.10.Oli SPL bootloader from a safety perspective based on my understanding that the BL is flashed first in the RUU under the control of the 1.09Des SSPL loader. This will guarantee a safety net should something go wrong during the OS and/or Radio flashing portion of the process. I would also imagine that this is why you state that RUU flashing is safer too.

Maybe this should be SOP whenever a new production ROM is released by Operators too: Repackage everything into a sspl that also loads 1.10.Oli. Of course, when HTC takes their inevitable next steps in this "spy vs. spy" battle, all this may be invalidated...

Here's an interesting thought: Your bootloader advancements have actually helped Operators since using this technique should result in far fewer bricks being returned for new devices. Now the question is this: does this cost HTC I wonder? Or to put it differently: who sucks up the cost of a bricked Hermes that is replaced in warranty. Whomever this is is very happy with you Olipro and likely to offer you a job as a top developer :D. Conversely, whomever sucks up the cost is gonna put a contract out on you.... :eek:

JK: The fact is this: both have a contract on you b/c you've invalidated CID :D:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] testppc:
When I run the RUU, I'll open the Windows Media Player to play the MP3 files, and the update process will be finished in 2-3 minutes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
I guess my major question is this:

At what time during the RUU flashing process is the bootloader flashed? If its the first thing to be flashed then my points above are valid. If not, then everybody who flashes needs to insure that they have 1.10.Oli in flash before stripping the bl out of any ROM they wish to flash. Perhaps we could begin to go through production ROMs and designate those that have had this done with another column on the Wiki.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
In the order it is placed on the NBH file, generally IPL & SPL are the first.

Yes they are: the HardSPL is flashed but the process continues with the current bootloader on device... but after the flashing process ends (or fails) HardSPL is there, which lets you recover the bad flash because even if radio is b0rken the device is seen as SuperCID. Only those with radio bootloader 0108 will need to flash a hardSPL based on 1.09 to be able to recover, the rest will be fine with the one based in 1.04.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
But there isn't a 1.09 hardSPl yet, no?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
no, but if someone manages to bork their radio AND can't get into the OS, then something can be done.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] politby:
I happen to be in this exact situation. Have bootloader 1.09 and a corrupt radio (which is why I tried to reflash and ended up with a brick). Any ideas?

/politby
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
no... not quite; you need a Hard-SPL bootloader first; or, you need to be able to boot Windows.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] politby:
that's what I thought. Any forecast on when (if) you'll have one available? :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
no... I mean you either need to have flashed on a Hard-SPL before you buggered it up, or you need to be able to still get into Windows after buggering it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
But, will you publish a 1.09 Hard SPL? I will be a good protection measure for those who got the radio bootloader 0108 (like me :) ).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
well, if you flash 1.04 and bugger up your radio, then of course I'll send you it to flash on, but since it's essentially Des's work, I'm leaving it to him to make his own formal release .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] VivaErBetis:
Ok. Fortunately I don't need it ***yet***. Thanks Olipro.

BTW: I got your 1.10 version installed and it works very well. Thanks.
