[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hilsdon1:
My wife started her Kindle Fire HDX 7” 5 days ago it took a while thinking and then went to the Fastboot screen. The device has not been rooted and is just a straight forward Kindle Fire HDX.

I tried restarting the Kindle etc. but every time it still only boots up to Fastboot screen, I connected the Kindle up to my PC's while I can not see any files on it, I can see the device.

Is there any way I can fix it or does she have a expensive paper weight?:confused:

Have you tried getting into recovery by holding down the Power and VolumeUp(+) buttons together?

Thanks for this it did not work but came close.

The first command fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 comes back with a message on the Kindle and the CMD screen, as:-

Fail: oem idme not allowed for locked HW.

The second command fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

reboots the Kindle back to fastboot menu.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
Scary... but probably a timing issue only

Try a few more times and do it "carefully" ! ;)

Seriously: last weekend I was messing around with the 4.5.2 kernel (boots, adb works, but no screen),

and at some point during my endevaours I got into this same scary situation, but I managed to get back to TWRP

after a few tries. I think it could be a timing issue. Easy to get confused when stressed...

So, here's my suggesttion:

Hold the Power button until the unit switches off.

Then hold Power + VolumeUp until the display lights up.

Let go off the buttons.

With some luck your recovery will show up.. keeping fingers crossed!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hilsdon1:
Thanks for the reply, have tried over 30 times still no luck. Will carry on trying.

Hate that white kindle fire logo! Especially as of all our machines this was the only untouched one. All the others have been tweeked or rooted I was not allowed to touch this one!

Oh well pretty paper weight.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
Have you tried Amazon's customer service?

They tend to be fairly helpful and your device was not even tampered with, you say...

I'd be interested to hear what they have to say.

A replacement would be a likely option..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
Actually, having read through the fastboot source code, I think I may have found another solution

using the "fastboot -i 0x1949 update magic.zip" command, where you' ll need to get a pristine

boot.img and system.img from a working Kindle and zip those along with an android-info.txt file

to create magic.zip... (I'll post more details, if needed, when I have time; now, off to bed.!)

Interestingly, the "update" command is NOT blocked on my otherwise locked HDX 8.9!

I'd expect signature checking (if not at flash time, then at boot time); so, be careful what

you put in your zip file.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hilsdon1:
Thanks everyone for help and advice in the end the device had to be replaced. One thing I learnt was to hold the power button down for 40 seconds and then press power button and + button. Amazon support gave me that one. To do factory reset.

However even after that it started up but to Encryption failed screen do factory reset, even after factory reset would go no further:(

Hi all!

I'm trying for days to compile some of the Lollipop roms for the T800 and T700 available on Github.

Tried a lot of tutorials, downloaded the CM12 source on ubuntu, but I can't, for the life of me, integrate the files from github into the cyanogen downloaded source and do a "breakfast chagallwifi".

How to flash rom on device that are not officiallysuppourt by leading companies like cyanongen mod and no rom officially suppourt like on MTK powerd phones
[XDA Assist] Negan:
Well the short answer is you don't. Unfortunately there isn't support for every single device out there. So you can do one of two things. Either purchase a newer more popular device that is likely to have mainstream support, or you can visit XDA University and learn to do it yourself.

Good luck

I recently updated my phone with lollipop 5.0.2. But after the update google services constantly draining battery.

Location turned off, sync turned off, not using google now features, used Gservice fix.
[G 2014 General] omias:

Theres nothing we can do in lollipop to stop this battery drain issue??

I might also have to downgrade if this problem persists.
[G 2014 General] pedrotorresfilho:
It's perfetcly normal after a system upgrade that Gservices drain battery. It takes a few days till battery becomes stabilized. Gservices will be updated soon as usual and this problem if it is a version problem will be fixed.

Just keep in mind that's normal.

Cheers

Edit

BTW Remember that all apps had to be updated and Gservices worked freakly more than usual too

For those with issues did you just update or did you start with a factory reset device into your lollipop adventure?

Mine was factory reset at kit kart, because of the change by flashing German firmware to global firmware.

To be honest, I just looked at your screenshot and in my opinion there is no problem with battery drain if you still have 39% left at the end of the day....

This was not really better on kitkat... You have to charge daily... Nothing new here...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibrocksonne:
Hello,

My B15Q (Android 4.4.2) sometime delete or erase all or some files on the SD card. This is obviously an annoying bug. I try to modify the file attributes as "read only" (with the SD card directly plugged on my computer) : since this day, the smartphone don't delete the files but erase them (there are visible on the SD card, but empty - size = 0).

There is another bug that appear randomly. The phone sometime reboot. Generally, after the reboot I got a new sms, call or message. For example it has reboot today at 16:00, and at 16:01 it was shoing an missed call at 14:30. The phone was not with me at 14:30, so I don't know if it rang, but it was not showing any missed call at 15:00.

Thank you for your help :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OstrichSak:
[Q] Please Help Me: Rooted Phone & Weirdness After Factory Reset & Failed ROM Flash

So I rooted my SGS4 a few months after getting it from VZW. I was fine with it simply being rooted for over a year and finally decided there was a few things I no longer wanted to live with. I started going down the path of flashing a ROM and after what I felt was enough research settled on the one that would work with my phone. Or so I thought. Short story is it did not and I found out later it wasn't compatible. Prior to flashing said ROM I created a backup and did a factory reset and wipe like a good little boy. Well, I think this is what caused the issues I'm now experiencing. I'll start with the few I can think or right off-hand as being the man annoyances but I reserve the right to add more later as they come up.

So, w/o further adieu, here's the issues I'm having, numbered for our convenience.

1) Whenever I boot up my phone I get the 'Android is Upgrading' after every single reboot with about 62 items 'upgrading' so it takes a while. I use my phone a lot and carry spare batteries that I change out every time it gets low so this can be several times a day and many times the wait of several minutes is quite inconvenient. As I found in a search, I tried using an app called 'Lucky AppManager' to clear the ODEX files and it reboots and I do it again a few times and it still doesn't seem to do any good.

2) for some reason all of my contacts has a little SIM card next to them that I don't recall seeing and it now won't let me edit any of them to add or remove information. This is annoying.

3) This one had been going on for a bit prior to me attempting to flash a ROM so I had hoped at minimum it would be resolved after the reset. Nope. Power down times are very slow. It used to be whenever I powered it down it took only a dozen or so seconds. Even less right when I got it. Then, one day, it took a minute or two to completely power down and has taken that long every since. Annoying.

There was something else but as I type this I'm drawing a blank. Any help that anyone can help me on any of the above would greatly help me.

Thanks!

p.s. This is a duplicate thread since I was so rudely made aware that I had posted to the wrong subforum. Sometimes this forum earns is rep. Sorry to those who genuinely care because a few bad apples ruin it for everyone.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Mastiff:
It's not the speaker itself. It can't add eny echo, it will only play what the sound chip sends to it. So there's no use in changing anything else than the sound chip, which on a regular computer would mean a 10 dollar sound card upgrade. On a PDA it's a full motherboard change, though.

hi,

i had the same problem with my ATOM.

if you can listen to music with your earphones and it is sound OK then the electronics probably OK, and the problem is with the speakers!

i replaced the 2 speakers myself and know it is OK.

If you are out of warranty, then you can consider replacing the speakers on your own – not so difficult job. You can order them on e-bay.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arbitarytwist:
I have a Moto G and it seems like the screen response sometimes just stops working. When it is working all is well. I have tried few of the touch applications and they are all good. If i put it into sleep and press the power button, i can unlock the phone but no response at the home screen. Sometimes it works great for hours and then would stop. Don't think its a screen issue.

It's out of warranty so sending it back is out of question. I don't think it ever got wet or water damaged. Don't know much of the history on this. Would appreciate the help.

EDIT:

1) I reflashed the stock Telus Rom again last night, but issue hasn't changed much.

2) I disabled the lockscreen (set to none) and seems like it only registers one touch then stops as was the case with the lockscreen. Sometimes it just keeps working fine.

Just trying to figure out if its a software issue or a touchscreen issue. The hard buttons all work fine.

Sorry, can't give any insight on that. I don't even know if there is an easy way to be able to know what of those two is faulty.

Just out of curiosity. Are you in a very moist/damp/humid (not sure what's the right word for this) area?

Do you have sweaty fingers?

I'm asking this because I also feel kind of an unresponsiveness whenever the screen has any moist on it or if my fingers are sweaty.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
Hey guys, I was recently installing a new ROM and kernel on my Nexus 6 when I happened upon something interesting. Franco makes an AMAZING kernel for Nexus devices, and he has an awesome app called FKUpdater which checks his server for new updates to the kernel, provides the user with the changelog for that update, then allows the user to either a) download the zip file for the kernel, or b) download and auto-flash the kernel zip.

I thought this was especially smart because it works regardless of what ROM you're on, since we all know how difficult it can be to stay up to date on both the ROM and the kernel, not to mention any other mods that we like for your phones (thinking back to the pre-Lollipop mods like Xposed, etc).

So, what if there was a way to make a ROM OTA manager, which could check for new versions of your ROM using something as simple as an RSS feed that developers could reference using the build.prop.

Here's the way I imagine this working:

A ROM developer doesn't want to go through all of the unnecessary hassle and costs associated with implementing the OTA features (it's not as easy as it might sound), so instead the developer simply adds a line to the build.prop:

ro.customROMversion.rss=http://www.example.com/rss

This build.prop line would be universal for all ROMs, with the actual RSS link being associated with each specific ROM (so if a development team builds ROMs for multiple devices, they would have one feed per device).

Then the app would check the build.prop for that line, and regularly check the RSS feed for updates. The RSS feed would have a standardized format. It would include the necessary information for the app to detect a new version (version number, build date, etc) as well as including the changelog for the new version (if the ROM developer includes this).

In reality, this wouldn't be difficult at all, and the best part is that the feature could be added in a heartbeat to practically every ROM out there. The ONLY issue I could see running into would be that the download links for the ROMs would (potentially) need to be direct downloads, with no redirects. I don't know how important that would be to implementation, though.

Does anyone see this as being something particularly difficult to do? I would love to build/release this (I REALLY wish I could contribute more to the Android community at large), but I don't know how to program something like this. If anyone thinks they could do this, I would really love to help put this in motion!

I'd really like to encrypt my Android 4.4.2 Galaxy S4 phone but the password requirements are stopping me from doing this. I mean, who wants to enter a long password with numbers/characters/special characters every time they unlock their home screen?!

Anyways after reading much about this in the forums and online I still don't have a clear answer if I can achieve what I want to which is:

1) To have a strong password required when you turn the device on

2) Use the pattern unlock screen OR a PIN when unlocking the home screen

Is this possible? I've been looking at the following tools:

Secure Settings

Cryptfs Password

Can they help me achieve this?

I have also tried encrypting the device via ADB like this:

Encrypting disk on Android 4/

but no matter how many times I attempt this it didn't work.

Appreciate any thoughts on this!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BB007BB:
Anyone? :D

I've been doing some reading on this topic as I am desperate to encrypt my phone but there is just no way I can practically enter a long complex password each time I need to just unlock my phone to check email!

So will the following work:

1. Set your lockscreen and 4 digit pin

2. open a cmd in windows

3. cd to where adb is

4. adb shell

5. su

6. accept SU on phone if you have never run adb

7. issue command: vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace ####

NOTE: #### is your 4 digit pin

Do the above first to have a PIN for unlocking the phone and when turning the phone on.

Then change the bootup password so that it is different to the PIN (ie: use PIN for lockscreen and use long complex password when turning the phone on):

Cryptfs passowrd

Would this do the trick?
