[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razorfengraul:
Alright, as stated, I've followed this guide flawlessly... Factory reset before first boot, wiped cache, everything. Device status still showed "custom" and i was unable to download OTA updates due to custom binary. (mundane, i know, but proves my point)

So i went to re-root.

This is my command line in Odin upon flashing CF Auto Root:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)

<ID:0/005>

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

What am i missing... Every version of Odin out there and every available CF download i can find... Happens every time.

Yes, ODIN sometimes only works if you have the original Factory Cable.

I've run into MANY problems (like the one you're explaining) when not using the cord that came with it.

That's your problem. Use the factory cord.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomcis147:
Few days ago I used my tablet and got low battery warning I decided to plug it to wall socket so I did it. I heard puff sound two times I unplugged it as soon as possible from what i saw that usb cable was not pushed fully into adapter and adapter burned. Same night i plugged it to original asus charger and left it charger over night it charged perfectly other day i used it without any problem untill it decharged so i plugged it again at evening with 8% remaining charging icon appeared. So i woke up next morning and unplugged tablet but I noticed it had same 8% remaining so i thought we had no power at night plugged it again, charging icon appeared but percentage won't rise it decharged. Than i tryied other cables and adapters nothing seems to help. Searched on google and found suggestions to open back cover and unplug battery for 2 mins I did that. Tryied charging from pc it worked !. So i thought I will move to wall charger for faster charging nope it still don't charge but show charging icon. So i used remaining 15% and flashed android 5.0.2 but it still didin't charge. Installed battery charge info it showing 367mA-500mA with wall and pc charging. So I need your help android users. Do I need new usb cable capable of 2.0A charging and adapter or something other? Sorry for bad english

Currently got a lg g3 but want to get this phone.

The only thing stopping me is the no root thing.

is there a way to block ads and backup and restore apps without root on the z3?

AdBlock Plus for Android doesn't require root, you can find it here: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install

In addition you can install the ABP for Firefox, but this app seems to block ads in other apps as well.

As for the backup I don't know, sorry.

great find !

there should be some interesting stuff being output via UART
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] notorious.dds:
I realize that I'm necro'ing a 15 month old thread and for that I apologize. However, I've found NOTHING else on the web regarding this topic, hence the necro'ing.

At any rate, I recently bricked my Fire HD 7 (4th Gen) after flashing the 5.2.0 stock recovery zip. It's bricked to the point of having zero signs of life. So, my questions are:

1. Did you ever locate both Tx and Rx pins on the board?

2. If I can successfully communicate with this board via my TTL serial adapter, is there any chance of a successful recovery?

I realize that the effort required to do this is not justified by the current value of the device. However, that is not my concern. I'm simply in it for the challenge.

Thanks!

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] powerpoint45:
Man I have been trying for hours now. I'm a bit disappointed. I created a whole breakout board setup for what I thought was the uart port. I still have only found the TX. Going to head over to that other thread as well and see if he knows anything about it. It could still be where I am looking but am just missing it...

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] toasterboy1:
I know this is a really old post, so I might not get a response, but did you ever figure out the pin for RX? Have a HD6 that all I get is the amazon logo at boot. the how to that I have used to unbrick before does not work because this happened after the update to 5.6.0.1. Wondering how to go about communicating through the JDEBUG port. I used gtkterm like I do when configuring cisco equipment. Are there certain setting for the port to communicate properly. Really trying to bypass the read and write block through the usb that seem to happen with the update.

Update- Found half my answer serial and UART are not really the same thing. Looks like I need a USB to UART cable.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] notorious.dds:
Personally, I'd recommend you go with this if you're simply trying to unbrick:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/development/video-linux-iso-unbrick-fire-hd6-hd7-t3474999

I'm pretty sure that it will require that you fully brick it first though (i.e. No Amazon logo, or any real signs of life)

However, if you're getting to an Amazon logo, you should be able to boot to recovery, no? If so, you shouldn't even need to use that aforementioned unbrick process.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] toasterboy1:
That is the previous unbricking method I mentioned. Worked really well in the past but does not work with 5.6.0.1 it blocked the reading and writing so trying to get around that. It started with trying to flash from cm11 to FireOS and the recovery got lost, so no recovery. It has spiraled down from there. Now I cannot even get to the boot loader because I cannot get into adb. I figure it is a lost cause and already have a replacement, so I figure what better time to learn. It is already beyond broken.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] notorious.dds:
Just curious... what if you tried a fastboot cable? I know the fastboot cable is not supposed to work with this device, but I wonder if it makes any difference when there's no recovery installed.

Also, my experience with UART hasn't been super positive. It works, but there's a nice learning curve associated. Subsequently, I found it rather easy to destroy a couple of bootloaders. :(

Hopefully, you learn quicker than I. :D
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] toasterboy1:
Thought about the fastboot cable. I know it is possible to DIY so I might try that or might just buy one when I get around to getting a 1.8v UART USB board, I think that is what is needed. Not in a hurry now as I just bought a lot of 2 HD6s off ebay that where listed for parts and they are both working fine. Already rooted, TWRP, and CM11 on one as that how the one I destroyed was setup. Hopefully I can get the other one on FireOS 5 and build a device tree and try building CM12, unless I am told that would be impossible. This whole thing started because I wanted to get the headphones working in CM11.

Would appreciate any information you could share on UART. I was just going to try the unbrick ISO through the UART port.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Android Development] notorious.dds:
Most of my experience with the UART port comes from trying to unbrick wireless routers. UART is simply the serial interface that lets you communicate directly with the board. Once you know which pins are which on your board, getting it connected is relatively straight forward.

However, after you get it connected, this is in my experience where things get messy. There are many different environments in which you could find yourself once connected. Depending on the environment, you may or may not be able to get decent help from Google as to how to procede.

In general, what you're doing with UART is writing directly to the board's memory. This allows you to possibly overwrite the bootloader, recovery, etc.

What I can say is that the ISO will likely do you no good via UART. It's possible that you might be able to extract some info from the ISO that you could use in contructing your UART commands.

If done correctly, you could get your device back. If done incorrectly, you might have a true brick. :rolleyes:

Hello,

People i will appreciate some help.

I would like to buy a watch/sports tracker able to play stored on the device music trough bluetooth headset (no phone needed).

Device with storage where i can store some music and go run and listen music without having my phone with me.

I don't want to spend a lot of money as well .. you know i don''t run that much .. so maybe something China made.

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] badassbart 101:
smartq zwatch maybe?

The zwatch is good for music via the 3.5mm jack or through Bluetooth, which was what i mostly used it for it had a built in pedometer along with few other health apps plus with the adding of a custom rom you could add other health apps through the play store. I had Spotify on mine with 300+ songs.

the watch ranges from $75-$120 4gb rom which only 2.05gb can be used for other storage such as music, photos, etc.

But if your looking for more storage and longer battery life then there's the zgpax s5 which comes with 4gb rom with can have an extended 32gb micro sd card, with a 500mah battery and upgrade battery that you can get that has 700mah but you loose the 3.5mm jack, waterproof function. but you don't have to put a custom rom on it to get the play store.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zarrick19:
Hi guys, brand new G2 D802 owner here :) Still stock & unrooted, but I've already noticed there are some camera mods. Still quality is pretty good, but the video... umm, I mean it's not bad, but the fps drops are just so bad! No matter in what resolution or at what fps I record, at darker places the fps drops pretty badly. Kind of helped switching to 60fps, record a second, switch back to 30fps and there are no framedrops! Even though the scene is pretty dark, but the fps is constant. But on the other hand, sometimes you need to record darker places, even if there are fps drops, so it's kind of uncomfortable.

Second problem - the video audio is pretty quiet. The quality is really nice (in comparison with the G Pad's horrible audio recording quality), but it seems pretty quiet. With stock Camera app and the XCam too.

[Framaroot] cryochris:
Hello everbody out there,

I just tried to install CyranogenMod 11 on my old Motorola Defy+. In order to do that I installed Framaroot and 2ndInit. After that I started Framaroot with the options "Install SuperSU". That worked right away, without any delay. Hm okay anyway. After that, I rebooted my device and straight after the start I got the notification that the app SuperSU has been suspended unexpectedly (something like this).

Then I tried to run 2ndInit. Version 2.3 special edition for Defy. And this complains "2ndInit Menu NOT currently installed"

Then I started all over again. I reseted the whole device to factory defaults. Installed Framaroot and 2ndInit second time and started from scratch. This time I did not get a notification but the result is the same: "2ndInit Menu NOT currently installed"

What can I do at this point?

Thank ypu very much

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscion:
Hi. I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 6. One thing I'm curious is how are people coping with not have Xposed modules. Are you depending on custom roms and themes to make up the difference? Currently on my Note Edge I use App Settings, Heads Up Notifications, Multiwindow plus. Notifly Clean, Swipeback and YouTube Adaway among others. For example App Settings really comes in handy for changing look of apps and such (can give more of a tablet UI). I'd especially like to hear from folks that heavily used Xposed in the past to get their impressions. Anyways, I might get a N6 or wait a bit more to see what comes out at CES. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I have adaway on my Nexus 6 and it works great. It's part of the LS ROM. The Nexus 6 is fine without xposed even after using it heavily on all of my other phones. If you want a tablet UI then you can change the DPI on your phone to 320 (560 is stock) and most people seen to like 460-480dpi. It's well worth the upgrade if you love to flash. Anything from CES (LG, ASUS, Samsung etc..) Won't have nearly as much development if any compared to a Nexus device. I like to flash ROM's and kernels so rather than deal with the hassle of unbricking a LG or Samsung with factory tools I can flash the stock ROM via fastbokt with my nexus easily. It's all up to what you plan to use the phone for. Any new phone debuting this year won't have xposed anyway because they will have lollipop
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Your problem is not the Nexus 6, your problem is with Lollipop. Due time, Xposed will be made to work with ART.

Regardless of whatever phone you're using, if it has Lollipop, Xposed will not work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscion:
Thanks for your replys. I was wondering if folks could change dpi on apps individually instead of globally.

Clearly lollipop is inevitable. I've tried a recently released developers version of lollipop on my former dd (Note 3) and it has some nice features plus some Note 4 multiwindow improvements. But I also missed my Xposed mods when using it. The main problem I'm having with the EDGE is that I'm not sure how much development will continune on it. Currently there are two very nice roms (I'm refering to tmobile here variant) but no custom kernels. So I guess I'm suffering from developer envy lol... CES should be interesting in that more devices should be introduced with 64 bit processors along with, perhaps some of the larger screen sony devices. At lest that is the hope!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonty-comp:
I've been enjoying my TF300 since the month it was released, but in the past few months the battery stats have become less and less accurate. I was watching YouTube videos on it while it was docked and charging yesterday when it suddenly died, and I haven't been able to get it to boot since. Sometimes it will start to boot, but die half way through the boot animation, which implies that the battery isn't charging.

When I plug the charger directly into the tablet, it flashes orange twice and then does nothing. When I plug the charger into the dock, that shows green - so I assume the dock is fully charged. When I plug the tablet into the dock, it flashes red twice again.

The logical assumption from this is that my TF300 has stopped accepting or holding a charge. My question is, which part do you think I should try and replace first? I understand that the dock connector has separate pins for 5V and 15V charging, so maybe that's been bent or broken somehow...or the battery itself could be worn out...or the motherboard could have developed a fault. Has anyone had a similar experience to this? I don't want to buy a new tablet as there is absolutely nothing wrong with my beloved Transformer other than this! :eek:

I'm going to leave it plugged directly into a standard PC USB port for several hours tomorrow while i'm at work, to see if it will trickle charge that way. That would imply the charger is at fault, despite the green light from the dock when it's plugged in.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjwaugh:
sort of same here

My thoughts are that the one battery is no longer seen by the tablet and the other is getting too much of a workout as a result.

We have possibly just lasted beyond it's expected lifetime - which is kind of dissappointing. I don't understand exactly, but we might troubleshoot this still.What rom or Firmware are you using? I am on straight CM11 with no other modifications. I am using the tablet docked al th time and th rom "sees" the two batteries but dies at about 50% of the one without touching the other. I'm pretty sure that it really only is using the dock battery and never seems to go to the tablet battery anymore. Wish I could fix it - will try to use it without the dock and see what happens.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonty-comp:
It was running KatKiss 5.0.0 - I kept reminding myself to go and download the latest update but never got around to it.

After leaving it plugged into a standard 800mA charger all night and all day, it booted for about 20 seconds and then died again before it reached the lockscreen. It seems that the battery is either charging unusably slowly or not at all. I may have to start hunting for a new convertible! :(
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjwaugh:
Well mine is working fine disconnected from the dock - so it sees the Tablet battery and uses it

now

; I will use it until it needs charging and then try again - by attaching the dock and charging etc. Will yours work if just plugged in? - like a laptop with an old battery, does it still work but you are tied now to the power supply / charging cable? I have installed the latest "homebrew" Omni now to just get a new start on things and will continue to just use up the battery and see what happens next. My preference is to have vanilla CM but it seems the tablet battery was invisible. I hope by re-setting things and having a new Rom in place will give me a clean slate.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonty-comp:
Sadly no, it doesn't run even when permanently tethered to the power supply. I think the battery has to report a minimum state of charge before it's allowed to turn on, and that's where it's failing in my case.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjwaugh:
Batteries are back

I wish that I could tell you how - but I can't - the batteries are back to full functionality. I will tell what I have done and this might possibly help. I installed Omnirom with Lollipop and it worked but was very slow. Then I installed CM 11 back (then CM 12, then CM 11 again all with the appropriate GApps & SuperSU etc.) and it seemed to put things back in order. I did also install a battery calibration app which just deleted a file tracking the battery(s). Some where in there the batteries starting working properly - this involved more than a few re-boots and re-installs (dirty and clean). In all this mess lies a possible solution or maybe it was when I slammed it shut in frustration - this could all be due to a loose wire/solder joint too. The battery is following the "normal" process now of first draining the tablet battery to ~ 80-90%, switching out to the dock battery, then switching back to the tablet when the dock is drained fully.
