[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agntpizza:
although it won't solve all your problems with writing to external SD card on the HTC One Lollipop, you can fix the crashing of the "Documents" app you described by making sure your micro SD card has a label (name): put the sd card in a sdcard reader in your PC/Laptop and give it a name.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2d-two:
Hi. Yes, you are correct I found out about the label being blank causing the crash and adding a label to the external sdcard partition fixed the crash in ES File Explorer. With the crash now gone i was able to grant ESFile Explorer write access to the entire external SDCard, and the app is now working flawlessly.

I also found this thread: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570#c4444

So, based on that thread's discussion, it looks like the app developers of any app that needs/wants write access to the external sdcard just need to change their applications to start using the new API, just like the ESFile Explorer guys did.

What's the code if your stuck in the free time loop. Thanks
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anne9660:
I can confirm that although this tweak works initially, it wreaks havoc if you try to use Profiles on the device at all.

I am using the new 2014 Fire HD 7 running the newest Fire OS 4.5.2. I was setting up this tablet for my mother in law that we got as a gift. Before I tried the adb command to block com.amazon.kindle.kso, I had experimented with the "Profiles & Family Library" in the settings by adding my own "Adult" amazon login just to try prime streaming and see how the profile switching worked. I then hid my profile from the lock screen and forgot about it.

Some time after I blocked the ads, I went back to try something on my profile again, and as soon as I tried to switch to my profile things went crazy. It basically got stuck in a kind of "lockscreen loop" going back and forth between the lock screen and my login screen a couple of times every second. Rebooting would not allow me to escape the loop!

Took me a while to put two and two together and remember to unblock the ads. I still had adb access through all of this and the problem cleared up immediately after unblocking.

It isn't just "FreeTime" profiles that are affected. It's using profiles at all and user switching that gets broken.

So this tweak seems to really only be an option if you (or who you are giving it to!) will only use a single profile, and won't experiment with profiles, or they could end up with a malfunctioning device.

I wonder if there's a package to block that handles the profile switching, that would prevent someone from ever accidentally getting in this loop after blocking the ads package?

If you prefer for with out ads means while placing the order itself you need to choose without special offers device.

In this case as an one time exception I'll remove the special offers for free of charge from the device.

Is that ok with you?

ADB into the device is just using adb to contact the device. You need to have usb debugging enabled, and then just "adb devices" to see if your device is there. Then type in the command.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmm5157:
In command line, go to your directory where you have ADB files (in my case it's C:\Android)

Then check to make sure your device is recognized by typing: ADB DEVICES

When you do that, your serial number should appear and should say DEVICE next to it

Once you do that, type in the following: ADB SHELL "pm block com.amazon.kindle.kso"

After a few seconds, you'll see a message that says "PACKAGE com.amazon.kindle.kso new blocked state: true"

Then type in: ADB REBOOT

Your device will reboot and ads on lock screen should be gone. Just did this and it worked like a charm.

[General Questions and Answers] jbwyatt:
Ok after bricking 3 of those I finally figured how to root it.

usb debugging on, allow mock locations on

Install all your drivers.

use my scatter or make your own with MTK droid root& tool

load the scatter in SP flash tool, tick only recovery and load the recovery-cwm-y520.img after that turn phone off ( ididnt take battery out) and press download .

that will flash the y520 with the custom CWM.

unplug usb start phone.

Move UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip in phone storage.

reboot in recovery (the new CWM) and install zip from sdcard.

if u stuck somewhere just let me know

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
Thanks for all the advice, this is what ultimately worked;

Ahem, I used a freaking Win7 PC!

Are you kidding me? I live and breath by my MacAir. I've never had an issue like this before. I finally decided to pull out my work PC, made sure it had the newest fastboot, extracted the .imgs and it worked.

So, XDA masters, why? I don't understand it. I made sure I dl'ed the newest SDK, pulled out the adb folder that included fastboot. Yet it would not break up the system.img.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashercarlton:
I was getting ready to recommend you run the fastboot reboot bootloader command a few times in between some of those flashes. Some of the guides recommend you do that. Because of buffer overflow maybe? idk.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
Hummm, that is a good suggestion, I wonder if rebooting my Mac would of done anything. I had an older fastboot, when I updated it to the newest one I didn't close terminal, i wonder if maybe it didn't release it. Very odd, I would like to know why this happened. I'm going to check the logs to see if they say anything. I suppose if doing it from a Win machine worked, I would lean towards driver, fastboot/adb. Thanks for all the feedback!

Interesting, I grabbed this from the mfastboot site; "Unfortunately, that standard fastboot is limited on how big of files it can properly flash.

The only thing that worked for me was to use a PC. I hate to say that, but nothing I did on my Mac worked. I have both a Win7 and Win8 setup, I used the Win8 for the N6. It seems that for some reason the fastboot on the PC will parse out the system.mg and flash it. I tried the mfastboot from Motorola, but it was not for the Mac.

I did make sure I had the new sdks and all the new tools on my Mac, all other .img's flashed just fine.

Anyway, my only suggestion is to use a PC, sorry.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceKingNYC:
Update: I updated my fastboot file, and was able to install 5.0.1 and flash CF Auto Root without losing any data whatsoever. When i updated the SDK files, I took the updated fastboot file and dropped it into the folder where all the 5.0.1 files were, and obviously, removed the outdated fastboot one so that there were no mixups.

Hope this helps anyone running into this error!
