[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] brickpit:
I'm a bit of a novice, I'll say that up front. I'm not necessarily interested in "rooting" my Kindle Fire HDX, but seeking some advice\help.

QUESTIONS

Some high level questions I would have:

1. Is there a tool for Mac that would allow me to at least VIEW what is going on on the kindle

2. Is there a tool that would allow me to copy photos off the kindle fire (in case it is ultimately "bricked").

3. Any tips\tools to help fix this without rooting it?

4. If NO to last question, from reading the threads here, it isn't advised to try to "root" a kindle HDX (at least not without some experience.) correct? I'm not sure I want to, but if device is dead, I might try it to at least get the photos\videos off of it. What's best thread for that, and can I do it on Mac?

SYMPTOMS

Our Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (bought in Nov. 2013, so out of warranty) is frozen. Here are the symptoms:

- If plugged in, automatically starts to boot but freezes right away on grey Kindle Fire logo.

- If plugged in, and hold in power button for 20-30 seconds and then let go, it will start to "reboot", but freezes right away on grey kindle fire logo.

- If unplugged, and hold in power button, it will will turn off.

- If unplugged, when off, and hit power button it starts to boot but freezes right away on grey Kindle Fire logo.

- It has had a couple of freezes in past, but holding power button in has rebooted it successfully. Latest condition happened one night when it was in use… froze… and then it was just left frozen\unplugged.

- We have left it plugged in (in the grey logo) for over 24 hrs, in hopes that it would help recharge it, but still does same thing.

- When I plug it into my computer through the USB cable, it doesn't show up on my Mac. (I don't think it shows up on our PC either, but not 100% sure we have tried… (my wife has the Windows machine, and I am Mac.))

It's bricked:(

You can fix it if you can detect the device with adb.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfrantic:
I have deodexed the apps, framework, and priv-app from the latest Lollipop I9505XXUHOB8. I can get it to install ok but when I boot in the system most of the google apps, playstore, google+, books etc FC. Clearing cache and stuff in the application manager doesn't help. I also am unable to install any version of gapps as it give error 40, not compatible with the apps in the system. Anyone who has been successful in getting deodex to install in a stock system without building a full rom, I would appreciate knowing to stop the FC's from happening with google stuff and why gapps are failing. I have been to the gapps thread but not of much help at this time. Thanks in advance...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfrantic:
A little more information. I use JoelDroidLollipopBatchDeodexer to do the deodexing. Just hoping that some rom devs can share their secrets on how to get the google apps to not FC.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albe95:
Tale it from a gapps package for paranoid android cyano or some other rom. If that not work too then best way is to remove completely all gapps and keep only PStore and GMSCore (play service)

XT1045. Not unlockable thru Motorola site.

I see on another site that someone managed to dump a ROM from this device : CRICKET_XT1045_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.45_cid16_CFC.xml.zip - FileFactory.

What partition from those listed above do I pull from the device ?

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
CRICKET_XT1045_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.45_cid16_CFC.xml.zip was not dumped by someone - it's a Motorola Factory Firmware Image.

The following command will dump the entire system partition.

adb pull /system​

If you want Kernel or Recovery you need root, but those are included in the above factory firmware image.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-On-Wheels:
Thanks for the help, but that command < adb pull/system > only gave me a list of other adb commands.

Now, if I follow you, with the ROM mentioned being directly from Motorola, does that mean that an individual cannot dump his/her personal ROM ?

My goal in all of this is to compare a stock ROM with the bootloader locked against that same ROM having an unlocked bootloader.

And I want to dump my specific ROM to search thru it in an attempt to find my unique " unlock data " string.

I got my feet wet in hex editing during my FTA days. This is quite a bit more detailed, but with Motorola unable to unlock Cricket-branded devices, I have to try.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
There should be a space between pull and /system.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hell-On-Wheels:
Thanks, but holy moly ! that is alot of output.

I saw a few files that look promising > /firmware, /permissions, /DeviceAuthApp. I saw peregrine mentioned a couple times.

Which of these folders contains the actual 4.4.4 operating system ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
You just dumped the 'System' partition - you are looking at the operating system. There are other partitions that relate to the functioning of Android, and your 'holy grail' could well be located there. More info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540799

Hi,

lost yesterday the camera button. I am not using this camera button very offen, but the

Now looking for a replacement solution. Is there a shop where I can buy this small plastic part?

Or can I print a new button with a 3D printer?

Thankyou for your help.

I think the easiest way is to buy whole back cover, it'll will be pretty expensive but still cheaper than 3d printed part, I believe that no one is selling so small parts separate.

A new back cover costs about 10-20€.

Does MMS not work with Faria rom? Because mine won't send/recieve.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
First question is which Faria ROM? AKU 3.3, WM6 "the real thing", WM6 Vanilla, or something else???

Second question is, did you run the GPRS and MMS cabs (or use your providers website for setup directions)? Most custom roms do not setup GPRS and MMS settings since every provider is different (the Faria AKU 3.3 actually sets up GPRS for most providers, so thats sort of unique, but MMS still isn't setup as I recall).

Tell us what provider you are on and someone may have the cabs for you... I've posted the Cingular setup cabs in my new rom (link is in my signature for Crossbow Reloaded), and I have a link to an entry by someone with T-Mobile US instructions (both of those are in the 3rd post of the Crossbow Reloaded thread).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stuff:
Thanks for being a pal. :P

But um, I believe it's Faria ROM. I have a G4 Device, so I had to use shelltool to flash it. But anyway, GPRS seems to work, it connects and sends and stuff.. but when I try to send MMS it stays at 0% and just says unable to send. I am using Cingular, and If you could, could you find me the default MMS.cab or the MMS settings that I could set.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DrPiltrafa:
The same problem...

Is the same problem that affect to me.

Can see the mesages in the server but i cant downladed that.

The % is ever the same... 0%, for send and for download.

The soft in my PDA is Arcsoft.

Any idea?

The settings are correct, are the same set that others comons phones.:mad:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrman:
I initially put a Skinomi tech skin on when I received my phone, thinking it would be a temporary solution until tempered glass would be available. Well, I'm still waiting, but the Skinomi is excellent. No orange peel, doesn't mess with the proximity sensor and the feel is great. It is a wet apply protector though, if that concerns you.

If you are going to 5.1, make sure you have a protector that has cut outs for the proximity sensor, lots of folks have had issues with black screens after cell calls due to the screen protector.

[General Questions and Answers] ThomsonAgro:
Hello all,

I would like to ask a question about a problem I encountered with my Elephone P6000. I’ve been reading and searching for similar situations and solutions for 3 straight days now, and my motivation as dropped to a minimum.

This week I got the P6000 from a friend, and it was running on the 8.3 stock-ROM from 26-12-2014. I read about a screen lag problem, and went on trying to fix it. I tried several methods, a app made by lidmiloff, a .bat file by the1024 (and zOrgent? Not sure..) and finally a Russian/Chinese application provided on 4PDA.

This last method had an effect, although it was not the effect I was expecting. When I tried to operate my phone after the application was done, the touchscreen had become unresponsive to my touches. The volume buttons, and power button still work and I can boot the phone as it would normally.

I’ve tried to flash several ROMs (using SP Flash tool) to repair the touchscreen: a stock-rom provided by Elephone, a stock-ROM provided by s7yler (from needrom) and a backup (20141228) rom provided by (the1024). Unfortunately, flashing another ROM does not fix the problem and I’m still stuck with an unresponsive touchscreen.

The plan I wanted to try next was to flash the 8.4 ROM from 31-01-2015 and after that try the .bat file by the1024 again. However, I’m not really sure anymore if it would help and if I can break the phone any more than that it already is. It seems that flashing a new ROM with SP Flash tool does not affect the change that was made by the Chinese application. Does anybody know why this is the case?

It would be great if you guys could give me your two cents on my problem. I’m stuck, and to be honest getting quite insecure about the whole thing.

Kind regards,

Tom

PS: I've asked this question in multiple (relevant) threads. I hope this is not a problem, please let me know if it is!

[HTC Desire 610] Nixing:
I am also sick of all that waiting but there is nothing we can do right now.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Well now im wondering if it were to come tomorrow, should i update?

We can have s-off for a fee but i noticed on the sunshine thread people were waiting to use it because they updated. Im not sure its worth the 25 bucks for me but also dont want to update then possibly regret it...

Right now im just searching for more info. Not even sure i need to return to stock to run sunshine but after trying the installer i now know i need to uninstall xposed.
[HTC Desire 610] Nixing:
I already own HTC One M7 and I have CM12 on it.

My Desire 610 will be stock and that's that. I don't care about anything, just need that Lollipop update.

Also I think that the release won't be this month. Probably the end of April but it's only my assumption.

Hopefully it's wrong.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Wouldnt surprise me. Originally sources stated the 3rd quarter of 2015 then someone here said march, and when i checked that was also true???

As far as s-off...im on the fence. Having it doesnt mean instant development of custom roms. This phone's coming up on a year and i get the feeling that ship has sailed. Essentially looks like itll be stock anyways. I only get the red message when booting to recovery so $25 isnt justifiable. But im hoping to have a reason to get it soon...
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Well they missed the target with lollipop in march and now we're approaching mid April...of course this isn't news to most all of you but when I go to HTC ROM downloads site I see that ruu hasn't changed in a long time. Anyone know how that works? Do they only release certain updates in ruu format?

I'm just wondering if they'll put it on the site in a timely fashion or if I'm better off locking it up again and unrooting to take the ota...
[HTC Desire 610] porozex:
I dont think we will have lollipop on this device, the infos about it are not official.

anyway correct me if im wrong

We would sooner get 4.4.4. Lollipop is just a fantasy on this device unless someone builds it for us.
