[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7in 2012 model that is stuck on the orange/white boot logo. I have a lot of experience flashing Kindles but this is the first time I have encountered this problem. The boot and recovery partitions seem to flash ok, based on time but take a look at the time it takes when flashing system and also the time it takes to clear cache and userdata. Is this motherboard toast? Any way to save it?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3pwn:
No, your motherboard isn't toast. Those times are around how long it should take to flash. If you didn't notice, flashing system went fine. Fastboot format is weird on the Kindle Fires (it doesn't ever want to work properly), but the reason you were stuck at the "waiting for device" prompt is because you didn't add "-i 0x1949" to the end of the command. Notice that once you did, it went through fine (well, sorta). Your motherboard is not toast. If it was, you would not be able to boot it up at all, even to fastboot mode. Pressing the power button and/or any combination of key presses would get you absolutely nowhere. I would double-check you have the right images. What exactly are the boot/recovery/system image you're flashing?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
Thanks for the reply. It's definitely a KFHD7 2012 model and I am using KFHD_SRT_1.3.5. The images are Version 7.3.0. I have used these images several times in the past to restore that model.

So you don't think it's unusual that flashing the system partition only took 1.235 seconds (usually takes 60-70 seconds)? Or that erasing cache also took only 1.235 seconds (usually takes approx. 50 seconds) and erasing userdata took 1.240 seconds (usually takes 80 to 90 seconds)? I am wondering if those partitions got corrupted but I don't know how to reset them when all I have to work with is fastboot.

And the bottom line is after reflashing all the above partitions, the Kindle is still stuck on the static boot logo. It's got me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3pwn:
Oh. I must have missed that. That does sound weird, but I'm not sure if your partitions got corrupted. Try running "fastboot oem format -i 0x1949" (this kinda "resets" the partition table to what it should be, in case anything is weird) then flashing the images again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
D:\KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5>fastboot -i 0x1949 oem format

...

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 1114.006s

Hmmm. Not sure if it worked... Proceeded to reflash all partitions. Got the same results. Flashing system and erasing cache and userdata all took less than 2 seconds.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3pwn:
That oem format thing didn't appear to have worked. Try rebooting to bootloader and trying it again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
I am out of town for the weekend so I will try it on Monday. In the mean time, how to I reboot to the bootloader? Isn't that what happens when you go into fastboot? If not, how do I use the command fastboot -i 0x1940 oem format?

My base state was after running all the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343

Phone had been working fine in this state.(Rooted/locked bootloader) I also have a backup of the TA partition

With the new 5.0.2 release, I upgraded via instructions/files at http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/development/stock-firmware-23-1-0-690-generic-t3056413 with the addition of flashing 2.8.3 lockeddualrecovery

Phone was working fine on first boot and rebooted(as needed) a few times fine. However I then attempted to enable encryption(via settings->security). The phone began boot looping(which I assumed was normal) however it is now 20 hours later and it is still boot looping. Occasionally(1/30 reboots) the phone will show a padlock icon that will show a circular loading icon for a couple seconds and then reboot. I can get in to fastboot mode but can't seem to do anything since my bootloader is locked. Also cannot boot into recovery via any button combination. Attaching adb for logs never sees the device.

Bootloop: No led-> sony logo(red led) -> sony logo(no led) -> sony logo(orange led) -> dim "powered by android(orange led) -> reboot

Any suggestions? I can't send it to Sony for repair as it is a UK unit and I am in the US(Not worth paying another ~$100 in shipping plus whatever the repair cost will be). Warranty is already void and I can recover the TA, so I'm willing to try anything.

[edit] can also get phone into flash mode. however trying to flash generic D5803_23.0.1.A.5.77_US.ftf still causes boot loop

[edit2] fixed, this thread can be deleted. After flashtools "finished" the first time it wasn't really done and I needed to reattach the phone in flashmode again to finish. I'm now booting to the homescreen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyphomatic:
I understand you're glad to fixed the bootloop.

On the other hand the issue itself isn't fixed.

I believe encryption to be very valuable and I really want it to be fixed.

Anybody else has any ideas or succes combing root & encryption?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
So after encountering the annoying 505 error I did a full back up via the Backup app as sync manager on the laptop wasn't playing ball.

Did the hard factory reset and then restored from the back up file I had made 10 minutes beforehand.

Most things have restored but I went to check a picture and ALL GONE!

Things like whatsapp messages and contacts didn't restore either.

What can do to recover the lost images?

and typically none of it worked to solve the 505 error.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
I know this isn't the usual standard of question on this forum but is anyone able to shed some light on my problem?

Does the HTC Backup program, back up images or is that an oversight on my part?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
ok so it seems that i'm an idiot and htc doesn't back up images on an htc account back up.

I'm now trying to run my phone through recovery software (MagicCute Recovery) but the program won't recognize the phone, I guess because it's not a mass storage device and connects via MTP?

I read a guild to turn on developer mode and then turn on USB debugging but that hasn't made any difference.

If there a way to plug my phone in and the computer to recognize it as a mass storage device?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
check google playstore for undelete software, plenty on there, be careful about how much you install or uninstall.

Dont know if your aware of this, but nothing is ever really deleted, its flagged as safe to be overwritten and hidden from the user, too much installing or un-installing apps will overwite the flagged images.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shepppster:
I am sure that when connected to a Linux machine it shows as an external drive...not sure if that helps at all ?

If what i suggest is true then you can run Linux within windows from a USB drive,but clearly your recovery software has to be a linux compatible version.

Just a suggestion rather than fact!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
Currently browsing play store now, is there any you can recommend?

I wasn't fully aware of how it works but I knew I could recovery most with some nifty software. MagicCute has worked wonders in the past for me.

At least all my music is stored in music play store.

I found a PC based program to scan the phone but the phone requires to me rooted for that, although that was my main reason for joining this forum to root I'm a little apprehensive to do anything like that until I have saved my pics!

Cheers.

Someone else said they had great luck with DiskDigger Pro

Good luck!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
Sorry sheppster, completely missed your reply somehow yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks clsa I'll give that a go once rooted.

I'm currently reading, reading watching and rewatching content on the rooting process. Very confusing for a complete and utter noob. A lot of content is spoken as if I have a clue, haha.

But I'm now registered on HTC DEV, all videos and content say to select all other supported devices due to the HTC One not being listed, but it is. I'm guessing HTC Dev has been updated since the guides were posted. Shall I click HTC One or still use other devices?

I installed Android Studio and also JDK which it asked for, but when continuing to install Android Studio I got the following message...

Is this detrimental to the use of the program or can I just continue?

Sorry this thread is going to turn into more of a rooting Q&A.

I now have sync manager working correctly and have made a back up on my laptop which I'm happier with than having something floating about in my HTC Account. So I think I'll go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
Well I have unlooked the bootloader now. Successfully? Not sure!

After confirming to unlock it then restarted and kept going round in circles, it's now saying "Android is upgrading" running through 253 apps. Nothing like the XDA video where it just restarts as a fresh phone.

I used the HTC One instructions from the drop down menu in the end.

Fingers crossed at the end of that it's working and I can continue to root.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
Well considering I have an early start I've stayed up far too long messing around.

BUT! My phone is now rooted, I did attempt putting a venom rom on but it didn't install properly although I seem to have a large ammount of it's features here and there like being able to boot directly to bootloader or recovery from the power button.

But any way the lapcop software I had appeared to be useless, it found 603 images from various emails and programs files none on my actual pictures. I'm not running disk digger which again has found background images but still 85% left to scan.

I'm not holding out too much hope now as there's been a few files added and deleted to root and also reset again to root.

I'll update tomorrow how it went.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_TDi:
I didn't realise how cheap Disk Digger Pro was, so bought and ran that last night. I think it found touch under 4000 images but again mostly PNG program images.

It did manager to find 41 useful images though. It seemed to mainly pick up pictures which I had recently used on facebook, so annoyingly mainly recoverable images through facebook.

It picked up a lot of signatures from various emails and made a lot of duplicates. Not a bad effort for under 2 quid though.

Just ordered my Note 4 N910F, and looking for the thinnest Qi receiver... I have used Fonesalesman receivers for S4 and Note 3 which were thin and flexible... Is the Fonesalesman Qi for Note 4 also thin and flexible? Anyone in here using it? Thanks

==================

To answer my own question, the above Qi receiver is thin and flexible, the coil is the "printed" type if that is what is called, not an actual coil which is thick.

The thickest part of the receiver is where the IC's or small chips are which is under the QR code..

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Which ones also support NFC would be nice as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kinsman-UK:
I think the FoneSalesman one is the only one that specifically states it supports NFC, although some Amazon reviewers have mentioned that it works with others if placed carefully. I doubt I'll be using NFC too much, so this isn't really a huge factor in my choice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] praveenjainkumar:
Pleson

I am using PLeson, it supports NFC. Its a good purchase although it makes the back cover little bulky.

Magnector for the win (X2 adapter or cable)

I have tried various adapters and cables and BY FAR the best ones are these:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3GK3YI

The X2 adapter is fantastic if you want to carry it with you or plug it into existing microUSB cables, but their cable (in the same listing) is just as great, and a nice, flexible cable. I'm using the Magnector X cable in the car since that's easier to snap on and keep my phone in place. Unlike most magnetic connectors, these have a lil curve that fits perfectly with the side of the phone, preventing it from sliding off as easily, and the magnets are the strongest I've encountered so far.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echoboomer:
Hmmm, maybe. All I can say is that one of the four ebay cables I bought terminates in a connector that looks identical to the one in your image. I mean completely identical. It's also the best out of the four I bought and the only one that I actually find usable. The connection is still pretty loose though.
