Doesn't work with Nougat 7.1.1 (Dark ROM)

Does anyone know what if this solution works with Nougat 7.1.1 (Dark ROM)? I couldn't find the given files under /data/system, but I've found one as gatekeeper.password.key. However, if I delete it and reboot, I still get black screen.

Also, trying to run the setup wizard using ADB gives me a "SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting intent { ... } from null ( ... ) not exported from uid 10020".

Any ideas?

1. Add a header to your question.

2. Try to flash an actual 4.3-firmware with Odin

Your screenshot shows a version1-modem. Modems since MG4 are version2. Only strange, that you have a valid IMEI.

Don't restore backup next time.Maybe only app+data. You probably restored system data too... And... Was your phone locked to carrier?

I try to reload/refresh my Gmail app to get new mail. It tells me "No Internet connection. Retry." But I do have an internet connection. I can surf the web on a browser app.

How can I figure out what's going on? Is there a verbose error script/log created?

The sole suspiscion is that I've frozen an app that Gmail needs. I've been freezing apps/files (using Link2SD) that came preinstalled with my Samsung Galaxy Tab4, because I'd like to get rid of them, and I thought that freezing them is the first step to confirm that I (or my tablet) doesn't need the file/app.

Are you using an ad blocker?

Do other Google apps work?

Have the correct time and date on your tablet?

Tried to uninstall/reinstall the Gmail app?

Any sync errors in Settings / Accounts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbwarfield:
es0tericcha0s,

thanks for your reply. I figured out the problem: I had an app that turned off the Google Play store temporarily (and I guess Gmail too). . I removed that app and the problem disappeared.

First of all let me say thank you to everyone here. You have all been very helpful. Now to my question. First is there any fix for this annoying ass voicer mail notifier. I dismiss it and it doesn't go away. Second of all I'm new to all this, and I dont have a ton of extra stuff on my PPC but it seems to run slow. Closing out slow, and pulling up programs slow. Any suggestions as always would be GREATLY appreciated. Also what does applying all these different ROMS do for you. I see that everywhere. Let me apologize ahead of time for my ignorance. : )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
That would somehow be different than the annoying ass noobie that can't bother to read a single thread/wiki article and hides this blatant disregard for the culture of xda-devs by posting how you've "learned lots"?

Funny, that's what we tried to do with noobies that can't read threads/wiki, but, it didn't work either :(

You can apologise all you want, but, until you RTFW (read the "fine" wiki), you're not going to get a lot of help.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
It's kinda annoying wading through the massive amounts of stupidity on here asking the same questions over and over again because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE F***ING SEARCH BUTTON IS FOR!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] callmemoe:
I think it's kind of annoying wading through posts (after using the search button, by the way) thinking that someone has an answer to or a tip for a problem that I may have too only to find that someone is ripping on them for asking a question.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brucewilsonpa:
I am sympathetic to this point -- this forum has become so popular the key threads end up with 100's of msg., often out of sequence so it's really hard to follow when you're looking for something -- and it seems like most of my searches come up with thread references (usually the long ones) not specific msg. hits. Whether callmemoe looked hard enough on his own, I think the moderators and senior members need to take a look at the length of the key threads and cut some slack here!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
There are two features that will help:

1) You can search and select to view the POSTS themselves, not just the threads. This is a big help.

2) You can search WITHIN a thread. Go to the thread you are interested in, and use the Thread Search option at the top of the thread. This will help you sort through the 800+ messages in a popular thread.

Oh, and sometimes, you just have to read ALL 800 messages!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] princeasi:
I seldomly ask questions on here, because I lurk more, and learn more. The search button does work, tho a little tricky at first! I think some people can be a little too harsh on newbies when all you have to say is "use the search first, then ask later!" and just leave it at that. Johnnyshu0129, I encourage you to do alot of reading and keyword searching. To every question you have asked on here its already been discussed or is being discussed! Everything i wanted to know about my 8525 was relatively easy to find on here. Once youve done your research and, if theres something that you just cant grasp, then ask, because the vets on here, are really nice and love to help those who take out the time to help themselves first. They put in alot of work and time making programs and posting information that theyve discovered. All you have to do is wiki, and search button!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
I think I speak for all the senior members when I say that we will gladly help *anyone* who we see as taking the time to at least TRY to understand what they're doing. Lord knows, I didn't get it the first time through, and I even bugged Pof about some issues.. But, it was filling in pieces of the puzzle that I didn't understand initially--not to ask for hand-holding.

It's OK to ask things like, "I understand that you can flash your OS and BootLoader using mtty, and also by using SSPL. I'd like to understand the differences between the two methods--is there a wiki page that has a comparison of the two?"

It's NOT ok to ask things like, "I'm a n00b and I want to install a winmob6 on my ph0ne. How do I do that?"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] teknics:
Because being here 4 months with 100+ posts makes you a senior member? You are only a "senior member" because of your post count. That and a buck 50 wont even get you on the train. Posts like this make your "senior" status less credible.

Why not swallow your pride and answer the question.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
Well, sure.. That, and I've actually READ the WIKI and appropriate threads on here to know what the hell I'm talking about.

I even know how to use the search function! I know, it's a strange concept to some here, but, searches, and wiki reading are actually USEFUL!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] teknics:
I have also read the WiKi and all the appropriate posts. My phone still works, and I didn't have to post any questions. But that still doesn't stop me from answering a question. I don't think its always neccessary to grille a noob.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
@teknics - that's great.. Hang around here long enough, and contribute back to the community by posting/answering good questions, or even taking it upon yourself to solve a common problem/concern, and you'll be a valuable addition to this community.

It's not about posting questions or answering them. It's about discovery and helping each other figure things out. The spoon-feeding is in the Wiki.

Oh, and the other thing that bugs me is that n00b's will create new threads when their post belongs in an existing thread. New threads do NOT get noticed 'more' than a new post in an existing thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] teknics:
I doubt I will ever contribute anything the likes of Pof or Sleuth, but I do plan on sticking around.

I just get annoyed when people act dumb on forums, so I appologize if I sounded harsh.

I will do more searching before asking. I understand where your all coming from. And I respect that. I will reveiw more before asking questions. I appreciate the help from everyone. Maybe one day I'll be able to contribute as much as I take from this site.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pbratton:
If you truly wish to provide help, then your initial response should have been something along the line of: "Hey, I did a search and found this, <LINK>, maybe it'll help."

Instead of stating how stupid someone is to ask a question that has been already asked...

Any forum will have more 'lurkers' than posters, your response will not help these folks become active members here.

There is no such thing as a stupid question, but I have seen many stupid answers...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Centurion:
I have to say, the search function usually sucks and is completely useless.

Something that is not useless though is the Wiki. Check that out, it's basically a database of FAQ's for your phone. It's stickied in the main Hermes forum category.

Losers

I think people that flame newbies are losers that can't get laid:D I can pretty much bet the flamers get pushed around in their everday lives. Like damn man they didn't read the wiki. Big deal ya know. They might not have the time to read it or might not understand it.

If somebody asks a question that you know is in the wiki, just answer the damn question then tell them to read the wiki.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Legolas, you are just pretending that you are here to help people.

Imagine being, for example, a counselor at a high school. Nearly every answer for every question that you would be asked in this job would be published somewhere, and nearly every question will be asked to you hundreds of times. You would likely be asked the same questions every single day. Imagine if your response to a question that you've answered before was to tell the person to read the published information before asking you a question, handing them a three-page book, and then kicking them out your door. How long would you keep your job?

Face it, if you are berating people for asking questions, then you're not truly here to help anyone. You're probably just here because you're bored in real life. Like all "senior members" as you put it, you probably already have your phone configured exactly how you like it and are not here to receive advice.

This forum exists solely to discuss features on HTC phones, help others by sharing hacks and free software that we've written or is otherwise available, and to help others who ask questions or are having problems with their HTC phones. That's it. So, if you don't want to do these things, don't come here!

You mentioned that it's a horrible waste of time for you to have to read questions that were asked before. How much is that time multiplied by writing a response every time, and then having to defend your rudeness later on? Clearly your time isn't as valuable as you would lead us to believe.

Thanks for ruining yet another thread.

Flashing TWRP Help On Version 8.5.1

I broke my flashed kindle Fire HD 8.9 by dropping it on accident. This had CM.11 on it. Long story short, the new kindle fire hd comes with software version 8.5.1. I can not find any real way to root, or instal TWRP on it. I have herd people sugest rooting it the same way, which will make it unusable. They say this will work as long as you install a different rom. So basicaly, is there a better way to root the kindle? And even more so, id like some info on how to instal TWRP and a rom on version 8.5.1.

Thanks for anyone willng to help.

How to Root 8.5.1

From following this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53567401&postcount=18

I was able to root and install TWRP, with ONE key tweak. I had to make enough space for all the apps. Seems like Amazon got wise and made a lazy attempt to block the root exploit: fill up the /system drive!!

So I before I could do the last step of code, the part in root shell, I had to

# rm /system/app/Cal*

which deletes the stock Calendar apps. Since I don't plan to run stock anyway, I figure 'meh'. After clearing up enough space on /system, all was well and I could complete the exploit.

SIDE NOTE: Maybe the above link could be added to the list of "root methods" listed in the OP, tagged with "linux friendly manual method" or similar; from what I can tell anyone getting one of these devices now a days will be running into this and will have to search for a day like I did, i.e. I just got my refurb yesterday and it had 8.5.1 on it.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunter.geek:
Thanks!!!

Thanks for the help guys. Believe it or not this worked completely fine. I am so tired of Amazon. Really? Making it so there isn't enough room in system storage? Well, luckily I'm not running their OS anymore. Anyways, thanks for that reply. I probably never would have guessed that in a million years.

Thanks, ---Hunter
