Boot loop before and after restoring

I recently rooted/rom'd my phone I was running the Alliance ROM for about a month. Yesterday the problem began:

-Unplugged, dies then boot loops the NOTE 2 logo

--can get it to recovery just fine

---I wiped and reinstalled Alliance, still continued

Next I Odin to stock via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780984. Odin'd ok. Runs fine as log as its plugged in.

-Still, Unplugged, dies then boot loops the NOTE 2 logo

-New issue, red x on Sprint Signal.

If it stays plugged in its fine. Seems like it could be a battery/hardware issue. Any ideas? Seems like I've seen this issue before from others. Can't find anything though.

Edit: Now reboots while plugged in, will actually boot to home screen through.

Hi, XDA.

First, sorry for my bad english.

I wanted to make my S2 Plus (4.2.2) look like an S4, with white battery icon, white toogles (I know, S4 doesn't have that), etc.

I changed that H and H+ when internet it's activated, now it will show you 3G and 3G+ :D, and the arrows below them is now white. I will put some screenshoots.

Instructions:

I. Download SystemUI.apk

II. Place it on your sdcard/Internal memory.

III. Copy and paste it on system/app.

Then, SystemUI will restart itself with the new icons :D.

IV. Set permissions rw-r-r.

[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
The source code for the next software updates for the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick have been posted to Amazon's US source code page. I've already seen word of people receiving these updates, so they've begun rolling out.

If you install the update, let us know if you notice any changes.

Fire TV update version is: 51.1.4.3_user_514020320

Fire TV update download URL is: http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ueller-ota-51.1.4.3_user_514020320-signed.bin

Fire TV Stick update version is: 54.1.0.3_user_103020320

Fire TV Stick update download URL is: http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ed89a/montoya-ota-54.1.0.3_user_103020320.bin

UPDATE:

After comparing this new update to the previous version on both a Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, I've been unable to find any visible changes. Amazon has also now updated their software page and listed "Bug Fixes" as the only change.
[Fire TV General] vipercoyote:
what are the changes? Im still on 5.1.1.0.1
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
Once I receive the update I'll post a full overview of the changes, as I always do.
[Fire TV General] kraqh3d:
Hmm. I wonder if this is the cause of the new problem I've encountered. I have got two AFTV's both of which can't get any Amazon content since this weekend. I get the "Unable to contact our servers" error for the Home, TV, and Movies sections. They both can still get apps and they will download apps that aren't on the boxes. Netflix works fine. And of course Kodi works fine.

If they were supposed to get this update, and Amazon knows they are not updated, could this be the cause of this problem for me? I am in the US so I am not using any VPN to circumvent any geo content restrictions. I'm not even blocking DNS. I wonder if this wouldn't be a problem if I were blocking DNS.
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
It's unlikely that your issue is related to this update. If Amazon were truly going to require this update in order to view content, then they wouldn't have flipped the switch yet. The vast majority of Fire TVs have not received this update yet.
[Fire TV General] radiohead7778580:
I hope this fixes the bluetooth remote and the high cpu usage running kodi
[Fire TV General] mychaelp:
I get the same problem about twice per week. Unplugging and plugging back in solves the problem I don't know if it is the AFTV or XBMC use causing it.
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
Download URL for the Fire TV 51.1.4.3_user_514020320 update is: http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ueller-ota-51.1.4.3_user_514020320-signed.bin

( Attention [MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] )

I don't know about the changes yet because I haven't installed it yet. As usual, it's one of my rooted Fire TVs that tried to update first. Once my sacrificial Fire TV updates, I'll be able to see what has changed. My Fire TV Sticks have also not updated yet.
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
I'm not at home, but my wife is reporting that the Fire TV Stick (unrooted) won't work because of internet problems. The Internet is fine. I still was blocking the update servers through OpenDNS. I removed the block and I'm waiting for openDNS to allow the connections. I think Amazon is forcing the update on the stick. My other two rooted Fire TVs are off, so I'll have to test when I get home. I disabled the update service on those.
[Fire TV General] radiohead7778580:
Got the update on the fire tv i don't see any difference what so ever

gonna keep digging
[Fire TV General] Resnoid:
Would you happen to have a Windows 8.1 machine to check if Miracast works? :D
[Fire TV General] radiohead7778580:
i have a macbook with bootcamp running windows 8.1 i can check it out!!

I really wish they would fix this issue that i posted on kodi forums its something with the amazon firmware and kodi on both fire tv and stick take a look and let me know what you think

[Fire TV General] Neo3D:
I haven't noticed high CPU usage running Kodi on my AFTV. It runs super smooth.

I use this to launch my Kodi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.blunden.xbmclauncher
[Fire TV General] radiohead7778580:
Its only happens when you launch it from the settings, manage all user installed apps its seems like its no shutting down some services
[Fire TV General] xm41907:
Give this a try. It frees things up well for me on all my android devices including the FTV.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en
[Fire TV General] radiohead7778580:
I will try it for sure... but you guys give int a try loading from the settings menu then click on the cpu usage then launch it from a 3rd party launcher or llama classic tv or ikono tv icon you will see there is something wrong :)
[Fire TV General] kraqh3d:
Thanks. It was unrelated. It seems to have resolved itself without any reboot sometime between my post and this weekend when I went to look at it again. My AFTV's are always running Kodi so I really have no idea how frequently this might occur. I'll keep an eye on it and see if this happens regularly.
[Fire TV General] psycon:
also, you dont have to power cycle to reboot. hold the play/pause and select button for a few seconds to reboot.
[Fire TV General] lexluthor:
Never knew that. Nice tip!
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
I've received both updates now (Fire TV & Fire TV Stick) and had a chance to compare them to the previous version. I haven't been able to find any visible changes. Also, Amazon has updated their software pages and officially listed these updates as "Bug Fixes".
[Fire TV General] mr3p:
I am not sure if it is related however my bluetooth mouse which previously was paired with settings.apk posted on XDA is no longer discoverable and thus no longer works. The mouse can be paired with a computer so its not the mouse. It seems odd coincidence for it no longer be pairable.
[Fire TV General] anaya1213:
Is anybody working on rooting the new fire tvs that you know of? Just wondering since I haven't been able to find a rootable one.
[Fire TV General] mgoodall:
Also waiting patiently ;)
[Fire TV General] cr6:
As I mentioned in another post, I thought it would be rooted by now as there is a section in the FireStick settings menu to enter adb commands. Of course I don't know the process or commands needed to root, so obviously something is missing or proper access needed is not truly available to utilize adb this way?

S5 tap'n
[Fire TV General] rbox:
adb access has nothing to do with rooting.
[Fire TV General] Whiterat:
Amazon up to their old tricks again...

9716425d3c3a5511544721e9ce057e07 54.1.0.2/platform.tar
9716425d3c3a5511544721e9ce057e07 54.1.0.3/platform.tar

So either they were too lazy to upload the latest stuff - or (hopefully) there is a nice bug that they don't wish to disclose.

Newer VideoCore firmware noted in the OTA dump though, no changes to boot/mobicore/u-boot/etc.

So just system and vc firmware.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Or what they changed was not in the code they have to release. There is only a small amount of GPL licensed things they have to release.
[Fire TV General] Whiterat:
True.

But given that the kernel appears to differ between the releases; that does make me suspicious.

Also for example, 54.1.0.0 and 54.1.0.1 source balls are just copies from bueller, nothing for montoya.

Things like the patch in hid-core (very clearly under gpl) for the battery level of the Bluetooth remote was without a doubt a violation until they released 54.1.0.2.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Yeah, they are pretty sloppy with their kernel sources. When they patched the root exploit, the kernel source didn't show it.
[Fire TV General] Whiterat:
They learn quickly. I've stopped looking at the stick for now to be honest (new toys to play with instead - rpi2 and meegopad t01)

But was having some fun with it; prior to 54.1.0.2 they were a bit sloppy with the permissions on the videocore low memory killer:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>

#define VC_LMK_IOC_MAGIC 'L'
struct vclmk_ioctl_killpid {
int pid;
unsigned int reclaim;
};
#define VC_LMK_IOC_KILL_PID \
_IOR(VC_LMK_IOC_MAGIC, 0, struct vclmk_ioctl_killpid)
struct stat sts;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct vclmk_ioctl_killpid pid2kill = {0};

if (argc < 2) {
printf("Usage: vckill PID\n");
exit(1);
}

pid2kill.pid = strtol(argv[1], NULL, 10);

char pidproc [10];
sprintf (pidproc, "/proc/%d", pid2kill.pid);

if (stat(pidproc, &sts) == -1 && errno == ENOENT) {
printf("PID doesn't exist\n");
exit(1);
}

int fd = -1;
if ((fd = open("/dev/vc-lmk", O_RDWR)) < 0) {
perror("open");
exit(1);
}

if(ioctl(fd, VC_LMK_IOC_KILL_PID, &pid2kill) < 0) {
perror("ioctl");
exit(1);
}

sleep(1);

if (stat(pidproc, &sts) == -1 && errno == ENOENT) {
printf("PID Killed!\n");
} else {
printf("PID not Killed!\n");
exit(1);
}

close(fd);
exit(0);
}

I must admit though - damn broadcom! They're not bad at writing safe code (but not shell scripts) - not bad at all...

The last things I was looking at before getting bored was manipulating the videocore memory (as the permissions are pretty loose) - was just trying to find something that ran on the arm side with a shared buffer. Didn't get far, managed to inject a few things into the logs or cause the vc watchdog to kick in, but couldn't find anything that useable.

The only other thing would be if you could *somehow* get a string into the "dhcp.wlan0.dns1" property, as the ping logger script is pretty poor.

Kodi wont Run

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this forum but regarding the software update, I sideloaded kodi today and when I try to run it from the manage all apps menu it displays the first run screen then returns to the manage all apps display. Have Amazon blocked Kodi? I'v set up quite a few of these boxes so I know what I'm doing!

Is there any app that allow to modify the values of single color and set profiles like this app that was made for nexus 4, 5 and 6?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2424467

Our "color control" with all kernel is not that good like that, we can only change colors, not the real gamma. For exapmle: i don't wanna get a white that becomes blue, i wanna get a white that is more brighter.

With synapse, franco.kernel updater and boeffla config i can't do that, i can only fake colors.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You need to use a custom kernel with colour control, like AK kernel. Then you can use the Synapse app to make those changes.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ro95:
I have bought a pair of marley earphones. When I bought them I knew not all the buttons from the controller would be working. That is because the earphones are made for iOS so it uses CTIA. The Nexus 5 uses OMTP. The earphones have a three button controller, only the volume buttons aren't working (the mic and play/pause work). After some googling I found a lot of different CTIA to OMTP adapters/converters, but none could garanty that it would make the volume buttons work.

Has anybody ever bought such a converter and did it work with your android/Nexus 5? Are you now able to use the volume controls?
