[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
Has anyone noticed the light on the front of their Fire TV start to slowly pulsate? Mine started doing it recently, plus whenever it goes to sleep it won't wake up properly. When I move the mouse around, I can see part of the pointer on the edge of the screen, and it looks like there's a big black window covering the screen. Nothing I do can get rid of the black window, forcing me to reboot. I've tried uninstalling anything I recently downloaded in the last couple days and running Malwarebytes, which found about three malwares which I got rid of. The most recent lockup, a few minutes ago, shows the same black window, but the mouse pointer on top in plain view. There's one more app I'm going to try to uninstall, after yet another reboot. Hopefully, that'll fix it, because I really don't want to have back everything up and start from my last known working nandroid backup.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarmy9:
I was rooted using CF auto-root on kitkat, I flashed stock and used OTA update to Lolipop (BOB7) and then re-applied CF-Autoroot. Everything else works great. No lag, root works. However, when I insert any SD Card it gets stuck on the "Preparing SD Card Checking for Errors." It does this for the SD Card I was using before the upgrade before and after I wiped it (64GB) and two brand new 16GB SD cards regardless of the format (NTFS, FAT, exFAT). I'm at a loss. Anyone else having this issue? I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

[Lenovo K900] wegoorz:
Hi, I'm new here.

Couple days ago I dropped my phone and now my Lenovo K900 has broken glass. Everything is ok with touch screen, I just have visual discomfort when I'm using it. If touch screen is fine, do I have to replace glass with digitizer (around 50$) or just new glass (15$) will be good?

Second question: is it a risky operation? We don't have an authorised support for K900 in our country, so I would have to give this job to regular phone service.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Lenovo K900] drvman:
broken glass

did you replace the screen ?

I am from sweden.. k900 did not came to sweden..

I replaced my screen for 1 week ago...
[Lenovo K900] kevine6978:
i just did it... digitizer, not only the glass.

It is a risky operation but there's a good russian video out there : lenovo k900 digitizer in google and then the 3th video. Begin is orange. (cannot post the link because I'm a junior member)

maybe not related, but since yesterday my microphone stopped working during calls only.

For me not a hardware issue, so you could give it a try.

Don't forget to remove your sim card slot when removing your broken digitizer!

good luck and send me a message when you encounter problems.

If your phone did reach the boot image (blinking image/animation after the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 MINI GT-I8190" logo), there's chance to use Term Command to boot from PC, I believe.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kvnd:
I was able to return to stock using Guru_Reset_M7_1.27.531.11. Then I updated to latest lollipop. When I press power + vol-, I can see that it say "unlock". If I wanted to root again do I relock my phone via fastboot oem lock and then fastboot twrp or just fastboot twrp and I'll be done?

I'm have always been s-on btw.

Thanks is advance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
If the bootloader screen states it is "unlocked" then you could use fastboot to flash your custom recovery then flash SuperSU or SuperUser to root.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kvnd:
Even if I went back to stock without re-locking it first? I think that's why I'm still "unlocked". Can I choose to re-lock and then go through the unlocking process then fastboot twrp?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Assuming you are S-OFF, then it doesn't matter. When you are S-OFF you can perform certain functions with the bootloader "unlocked". It is entirely up to you if you want to re-lock it just to unlock it again. It is a lot of extra unnecessary steps.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kvnd:
Thanks for the fast response.

This was my info:

1. Unlock and rooted

2. Always had s-on, (my june hboot 1.44 was not able to s-off)

3. When back to stock for lollipop by flashing Guru_Reset_M7_1.27.531.11. (But I didn't relock)

4. Ota update to newest update.

5. I'm still "unlocked". (When I enter recovery it says:

"E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg (code-1)"

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes (code-1)"

E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no (code-1)"

E:missing bitmap icon_ruu (code-1)"

What is the best course of action to be able to flash rom again?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Use the Dev Method to unlock and root. After that you should be able to flash custom roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattwood2000:
Hi guys, I have an old S4 that I would like to SIM unlock. The phone is not on my contract so I cannot call up verizon and ask them for the SIM unlock code. I have been doing some reading and if I can get into the service mode or service menu there appears to be a setting to do this.

My ultimate goal is to use this abroad later this year with prepaid SIM cards in different countries.

From my reading, the service codes were blocked by Samsung/Verizon at some point. My questions is what version of Android and what modem allowed service menu access? I have tried KK and L with the MK2 and MDK modems but no go.

*Edit*

I should mention that I have tried the hidden menu enable MOD:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattwood2000:
OK, have another question. On the MDK radio I was able to SIM unlock the device. If I upgrade the radio to a newer version will I lose the unlocked SIM state?

Thanks, Matt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
No clue sorry, I have never done it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattwood2000:
Looks like the SIM lock state survives a modem flash - I tried flashing NK1 and then back to MDK and it persisted. I did this because now I'm having an issue where my unlocked phone only gets data and cannot make phone calls. Says voice is out of service but data is in service. But SIM in another phone works just fine.

Tried a few things but no go. I'm about to leave the country today so I guess I'll find out when I get abroad and try a GSM SIM, unless anyone has any comments on this.

Thanks, Matt.

[LG G Watch] XDANoob77:
Hello fine people of XDA.

First post! Yep, I'm a noob but I have read the rules and know what to do.

So, I'm just going to jump into the question. I have a brand spanking new G watch and want to install Gohma onto it. Thing is, I'm not sure if rooting will block OTA updates like it did on my G3 (still on 4.4.2 :( ) So if I were to root/unlock bootloader/install a rom/install a recovery, would this in any way make the regular method of updating change?

Anyone who has rooted their g watch and/or given it a custom recovery, please do let me know about OTA updates, anything I may need to know. Please. I'm desperate :'(

Thank you!
[LG G Watch] comk4ver:
Yes it does break OTA updates. If you want to go back to stock the LG way.
[LG G Watch] reggiexp:
but for minimum keybaord we need root.

so if i want to update i can't use minimum keybaord?
[LG G Watch] XDANoob77:
Thanks for that reply. I am baffled by this though.

While you say it breaks the updates, I learned from another source side note that you must reject all OTA updates with a ROM installed... Implying you still get OTA updates.

If it really does break updates though, it would be cool to see some kind of after market operating system with updates become available. Preferably Cyanogenmod :P I recently flashed Cyanogenmod on my G3 I mentioned before, now I can update it on a different but similar OS.

I'm not sure if I can update Gohma, and I'm not sure how long it will be updated for. Therefore, I'm just gonna stick with stock for now unless I can confirm I can receive OTA.

Ok, here's another separate but not unrelated question. Can I receive updates after reverting back to stock assuming I could revert to stock recovery, if possible?

Thanks again.
[LG G Watch] ShadowEO:
CyanogenMod isn't a different OS, it's still Android. On another note, You can only update Gohma via the package the developer provides with each release, which flashes the system image up and modifies it after. You cannot receive ANY OTA packages while flashed to Gohma as the package asserts will fail during the attempt to install.

To answer your last question, yes. You can receive updates after reverting back to stock system image and stock recovery (recovery is needed.) as your watch will effectively be... Stock.
[LG G Watch] XDANoob77:
Brilliant! Thank you so much for your response, I feel loved <3

Sorry, I didn't mean a 'different OS' for CyanogenMod but... you know... nevermind.

I will need to find out how to revert back to stock recover though, I am a noob at that sort of thing and just used flashify :P

I will look for a tutorial on that but a link to one will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
[LG G Watch] ShadowEO:
It's no problem, I'm glad to help. That said, I happened to get the link for the post I was attempting to direct you to: http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863

Download that and use it to restore to stock. Restoring to stock with the latest version of the tool will put you on the latest OTA available at the time of it's release, which I believe is 5.0.2 since 5.1 hasn't been released yet for Android Wear.
[LG G Watch] XDANoob77:
Thank you very much. I decited to root and intall Gohma. Problem is, it is on 5.0.1, so I was offered an OTA update... I'm so confused. Will installing the update break the root + ROM, or break my entire device?
[LG G Watch] neckbonest:
it wont break anything, it will just fail when it tries to update.
[LG G Watch] ShadowEO:
As the poster above me stated. It won't cause any problems, the asserts fail when it attempts to install causing it to simply exit from recovery and reboot. There's a tutorial somewhere on these forums (I completely forgot where this time) about neutering the update system so that it won't beg you to update anymore. Honestly though, I'm having more luck on 5.0.2 stock than I was having with Gohma, my battery life is pretty good too.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aimlessanomaly:
I've gone through numerous threads about "unbricking" but I have not been able to find any specific instructions for what to do in my situation. I have installed Ubuntu on a USB drive in order to access ADB/Fastboot and have allowed myself to spend a few days troubleshooting the problem myself, but must admit that I am in over my head and require some sort of guidance if possible. Any insight or help is appreciated.

How I got to where I am:

I believe when I installed TWRP I had to use the build prop exploit, but I can't remember clearly

At some point after installing TWRP, I believe I removed SafeStrap

I installed the CM-11 ROM and used it for a period of time without issue

CM-12 for Thor was released, so I installed it over the CM-11 installation I believe

I realized that by installing CM-12, I had made my gf's save files for Final Fantasy inaccessible

I tried to restore to a backup I had made of CM-11 and was met with a bootloop

By trying to "start from scratch", I wiped all options allowed without realizing the consequences

Any reboots of the device brings it to a black screen after the gray Kindle Fire logo

Here are some observations I have made while trying to figure out a solution:

In TWRP, ADB shows the device as being in "recovery"

In "adb shell" with the device booted into TWRP, the command "su" produces "/sbin/sh: su: not found"

I am allowed to drag .zip files into "Internal Storage" for the device, but flashing "13.3.1.0.zip" or "cm-12 ... .zip", for example, leads to the device booting into a black screen (I have tried mounting /system in TWRP)

Fastboot commands tend to hang on the linux terminal with the device not responding to commands

EDIT: After a little dicking around, I found out how to make the device show up under Windows 8.1 by using a guide outlined here: http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/index.php/topic/1362-how-to-adb-fastboot-in-windows-xp-7-81-10/

I am now familiarizing myself with ADB/Fastboot commands a bit more to see if I can figure anything out on my own.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Sound like you either lost write permissions on the system partition or the partition contents are corrupt. I have also heard problems within the data partition can create flashing problems. Have you tried the advanced wipe functions in twrp? You'll need to do a little poking around to determine which items are safe to wipe. Obviously you don't want to touch boot and recovery but (intelligently) neither is an option in twrp.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] aimlessanomaly:
I get a lot of errors involving /system when I try to mount and then repair or flash anything. Also, when I reboot it often says "Your device does not appear to be rooted - Install SuperSU now?" When I swipe to install it just restarts normally to my white kindle fire logo.

EDIT: I somehow was able to flash the cm11 ROM onto my kindle, rebooted, and my tablet is working again! I tried a bunch of different repair options and even used the option that makes you type out "yes" ( can't remember the name, need to sleep atm), but somehow got it working. Thanks for the help so far.

The IMEI is good and everything else , but since I have a major problem is that the phone doesn't get the 3G it is stock on the EDGE network only , now I guess the problem is from the nv_data.bin which after rooting the phone I didn't see it inside the folder , I would like to know if this file is related the 3G and network frequencies and how to write the frequencies and fix this major problem.
