[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phibo:
I believe it's the timing of when you unplug the ethernet cable. Because it happen to me with my first firetv. I couldn't get to bypass the update. So I let it update and hope it does the increment updated. But that didnt work. After going through thru a few more firetv. I notice that firetv that has older firmware. Is easier to bypass versus those later one that you have to downgrade. What I did was once the light turn white and the update screen pop up. Then I unplug. Before I just unplug very fast once the light turn white without seeing the update screen.

Oh yeah another thing. when u do manage to bypass it and get to the whole intro video. Remember to keep that thing unplug or disconnect from the internet. I had one firetv updated on me after the video was done playing and I had all 3 url block on my router.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
In my quest for today, here is what I have found. Note: I've done about 15 or so rooted firetv's but at the moment things aren't the same as it used to be.

1. If you get an old stock for example serial series of 2. They will have a very old firmware which USED to increment but they don't now. They go directly to the latest firmware thus loosing root. I went through 4 of these series today and none of them could be bypassed with the Ethernet trick. (709002XX)

2. Series 3 (70900305/303) is bypassable with the Ethernet trick to boot up. I've seen two versions of series 3. One which requires a downgrade and the other that doesn't before going up. IMO downgrade is a much easier task vs rooting.

Bestbuys have lots of series 3. So if anyone needs a version that should be rooted, head to bestbuy 91303. I'm sure other area's too have the series 3. Staples has a mix of mostly Series 2 and Series 3.

Hope this helps.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Yeah I understand, until I disable the amazon updates, I constantly remove the Ethernet just to be safe. As per today's experience, the old series 2x which has the initial firmware cannot be bypassed. I tried for hours but couldn't get it to bypass. I even tried recovery by clearing the cache etc, stopped half way through the download. none worked. I even updated two of them hoping for the incremental update but that failed too and reached the latest.

Thanks for helping out, but in my opinion, the safest rooting is series 3 with unplugging the Ethernet. The Downgrade process is straight forward if you have all the files in place.

[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
You should search for twrp 2.8.4.0 for Moto X 2013. Also, make sure you have the latest android SDK and ADB files installed. You'll need to search for threads that help get your phone connected to a pc.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Or you could use 'adb push cm12.zip /sdcard' (without the apostrophes) in a cmd prompt then flash in recovery. Why does everyone resort to sideloading when there's any easier method that will always work?

Once you get your Android SDK and drivers set up and storage mounted in recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
or you can boot your phone into bootloader if you can and flash the device back to stock and start over.
[Moto X Q&A] scryan:
That is basically all the sideload command does isn't it? I seemed to notice when I side loaded I was left with the zip I installed on my device... I could swear I deleted it manually, which would mean that sideload just pushes and installs for you in once nice package.

Either way, the issue he is having is that ADB won't find his devices... read the error message its not having trouble with the sideload or the zip... He just doesn't know how to use ADB and make it recognize his device...

Pushing doesn't always work when ADB doesn't recognize your device....

I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos SM-G7102. Over the holidays I purchased a watch that supports Smart Notifications as-in it Bluetooth pairs with a supported phone and receives call and message notifications. But the "supported phone" caveat is that it must be a phone that supports BT 4.1. My phone supports BT 4.0. Is the difference just a software difference or some sort of radio difference? Is there a way to just update the Bluetooth on a phone?

There appear to be no roms available for this phone (DUOS is a dual-sim phone). Ideally you'd be able to suck the existing rom off the phone, update the bluetooth, and re-flash it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Which carrier? It may be VoLTE. Or the iP6 may come with dual radios. Keep in mind the N5 only has a single radio, so if you get a call it downgrades to H. Most carriers use an implementation of VoLTE that doesn't work with the N5. H+ is going to be slower than LTE and you may be in an area that they may not have DC-HSPA but just HSPA because of the amount of spectrum. Plus you have to have the overhead of transferring the voice over data.

You could always forward your calls to Google Voice and use Hangouts. Just sayin.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10twenty4:
Hi all,

My phone has been running great since the last time it decided to soft brick on me about two months ago... Two nights ago I was using my phone and the system just randomly rebooted. When it came back up I kept getting force closes from virtually every google app and the touchscreen. I decided to go into TWRP and restore an old backup. After I restored from the backup the issue wasn't fixed so I went back into TWRP and wiped the system/cache and attempted to restore again. Since doing that I am stuck on the splash screen, but I can get into fastboot.

Using fastboot I have attempted to reflash 44S and TWRP multiple times without any luck. I have re-downloaded TWRP and CWM on my laptop and when I go to flash/boot both images, fastboot reports that they're not a bootable image. I can get the original TWRP file that I installed a couple of months ago to flash using fastboot, but the phone still hangs at the splash screen when using vol+down. When I use fastboot to manually boot the image (fastboot boot recovery.img) the phone does begin to boot into TWRP. After sitting at the blue Team win screen for about 10-15 seconds the phone reboots and once again hangs at the splash screen.

The last thing I did was follow http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 step by step. The only part that failed was trying to flash the userdata image... It also will not erase using the erase command. The recovery image included in the zip does flash, but once again hangs. Using fastboot boot recovery.img results in the phone brightness increasing and the phone to stop responding.

At this point, I"m not sure what else to do. At first when I was able to put the phone into fast boot I thought this would be an easy fix, but now I'm running out of ideas and patience. I am a noob, but I am capable of following directions. Any help that you guys are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

maybe someone can help me with my Xperia S.

I tries to install Cyanogenmod, but got a boot loop.

So i tried to install the kernel first with "fastboot flash boot <kernel image>

Now my phone isnt starting anymore.

If i connect the phone to the computer, i get a "SEMC Flash Device".

The phone isnt starting into fastboot, no reaction.

Is there a way to reinstall the stock firmware or a custom recovery?

I already tried to use the flashtool, then connect the phone holding volume down. This isnt working, no connection is established.

Thanks for your help!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] salami738:
WORKED

If you brick your device while flashing kernel and device do not respond any way then follow this little difficult but 100% sure method.

- Dissemble your phone.

- Disconnect battery ribbon from motherboard.

- Reconnect battery ribbon.

- Fastly connect USB cable while holding vol +/-

- Flash Kernel or FTF FW.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Disassembling the phone is extremely last resort. You could have tried recovering Your phone by simply flashing a new kernel via fastboot and then some other methods. But good that Your issue got solved.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guinioul:
I got same problem yesterday and I solved it .

Solutions :

You can shutdown the phone by pressing "power button" + "volume up" during 10seconds (sometimes you may need to insist) the phone will vibrate 3 times to inform you of the shutdown .

At this point (phone turned off) you can then flash a full rom (with flashtool) by holding the "volume down" + "plug usb" (flashmode) .

good luck :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cellulario:
I have been using CM11 for a while now and I am experiencing frequents hangs and hiccups. In particular the systems doesn't seem to be able to handle an installation, what I mean is that whenever I install or update an app the system hangs like if it can't handle a multitasking session, the systems freezes. Also, I ofent have my device frozen and I can't turn it on, the screen stays black for long periods, in the order of 5 minuts or more. I'd say this ROM is not functional. Is there anyone else who is experiencing the same problems? I am not sure whether the ROM is not working properly because of some setting I changed but well... I was thinking about going back to stock or to re-format and start over with a fresh CM11 because it might also be that I did something wrong. Any comment or suggestion, personal experiences? is CM11 working on your xperia sp's?

IMO pac rom is the best experience of kitkat on sp.

[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Difficult to say without knowing your device and the firmware it's running on.

Usually the proximity sensor triggers the signal/message and a part of the ROM receives it to manage screen on/off during calls.

Sometime you have to enable it in Settings menu.

On some devices and firmwares, there are issues with it, e.g.: Fix/Re-calibration for Proximity Sensor/Miscellaneous fixes, and: Proximity Sensor Bug Fixed, .Screen turns off during call.ISSUE FIXED.

So it could be the proximity sensor sending only the one signal and not the other one.

But most likely it's the part of the firmware to control the screen on/off accordingly to the sensor's signals.

You can try to disable and then re-enable the Setting to turn on/off the screen during a call in your system menu ... maybe that helps already.

More help with more information about your device and the firmware it's running on.

Well, I kind of know what I'm in for. Been following this forum for about a month now and reading all the stuff on the recent roms. Basically I'm experiencing all the problems that Ohmster has stated he looks for when testing a new rom: tap and wait delays, random reboots, reboots to fix super lag, things not responding at all, are the main ones. Also get the "insufficient storage" when updating apps, besides the running out of disk space warning. Also issues with tethering. I've been using FoxFi, but somethings it won't work if I've recently turned it off (WiFi or Bluetooth) without waiting a while or a reboot. I would've switched to a new phone right now, but I like having an SD card, and any phone out there that I've seen with one, has a smaller battery. Why I'm still sticking with this. Anyway, the plan:

Root using the method outlined on CM's website (with computer) or without as shown in this thread no computer thread. Is one method better then the other?

Install latest Version of Safestrap (3.75 i think) and Ti Backup

And back up like crazy

Now comes the part where I could use a little advise. In investigating ROMs, I was mainly leaning towards LiquidSmooth or CM11 (yes, sticking with KitKat). I think I've settled with CM11 mainly due to the wealth of information on it, and the excellent work Ohmster has done with his guide on optimization. I just want something that is going to work, and be reliable, but I'm open to ideas and willing to hear suggestions.

Apps?

I know rooting allows you to do some great things. I'll definitely be using Ti Backup, Gapps(pa-gapps) and Greenify, but not sure if there are other things that would be advisable to install. I've looked at a few "must have on Rooted" phone lists, but they all seem to be a little different. For example:

SuperUser or SuperSU

Root Explorer (I've always used Astro File manager. Does RE do more then that?)

Busybox

rom explorer

Thanks to anyone for the assistance.
