[Fire TV General] will4958:
The MountDataToUSB option is actually pretty easy to perform, also. You just flash the appropriate .zip file in Recovery Mode and reboot. The only downside is it takes a while for the boot process to apply the zip. After that, the end result is a lot more storage than you started out with.
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
I updated but decided to downgrade back to the last pre-rooted firmware, because all the new features don't make up for losing the ability to connect multiple drives, expand internal storage etc. Since the things I use the FTV for work perfectly fine with the previous version, I'm ok with not having the latest and imo, not so greatest update.
[Fire TV General] will4958:
I totally agree. I did the same thing last night.
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
Over on aftvnews, a comment in response to the "Everything you need to know about USB storage on the Amazon FireTV" article by a John Merrill details an experiment that was intriguing to say the least. He says he was able to get Stickmount to see and mount a flash drive formatted exfat, and Kodi too was able to see the drive but he was not able to play any media off the drive. When he then removed the drive and plugged it into his computer, the flash drive was unrecognized. Apparently the FireTV had done something to his drive, even though he selected "Cancel" when the AFTV asked to format the drive to FAT32.

So the question is, if a flash drive or other USB storage had two partitions, the first being a FAT32 and the second being exfat or ext4 etc., would this make it possible to use either stickmount/Link2SD or a modified version of jmandawg's script to achieve additional storage that is more useful and functional than what Amazon made possible in the latest ROMs?

Would a small (sacrificial) FAT32 partition satisfy the FireTV's requirements and would the system then allow the 2nd partition to be used for additional storage via either of the two methods above?

Or is this just silly and I'm missing something obvious that makes it impossible to overcome Amazon's restrictions on USB storage functionality?

I'm happy with beIng able to use my 128gb SSD with the 51.1.4.1 version, but I'd really love to be able to use Bluetooth headphones for late night viewing that the newest ROM's make possible. That would really be like having the cake and eating it too!

ON: Galaxy S3 4.4.2 Verizon(d2vzw) -->OK, I know you all may think I didn't read the other debrick threads, your wrong. I made this new thread because i HAVE tried endlessy every method of debrick on this forum and the internet, and no success. I was messing around with safestrap and decided to try and flash a rom called flashingdroid: for some reason. So i did as usual, boot into recovery(safestrap 3.75) and wipe current os and flash the new one. So i wiped my stock rom(after making a backup) and installed/flashed the new one(flashingdroid) and after seemingly a successful flash, i pressed reboot. Then it went downhill. One second after i pressed reboot, the screen flashed quickly, then shutoff, for good. I couldn't boot it or get into recovery or odin or ANYTHING. I tried the microsd method of debricking with minimal success. It will only give me one vibration, then black scree with that method. Nothing else has worked. I know this was a noob mistake somehow, but does anyone know any special tricks or something? Will a good jig maybe work? I have doubt verizon or samsung will accept it back(it was well rooted!). Please anything/anybody help! I really don't want to buy a new phone or jtag it. Thanks!:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
You may have read the debrick threads, but what you should have done from the beginning was read and pay attention to which forum you were in. You flashed a ROM for the International version of the S3 onto your Verizon S3. You almost certainly turned your phone into a shiny paper weight. JTAG may be your only hope. If you don't have one, check out mobiletechvideos.com. I'm not familiar enough with safestrap to know if that may have actually saved you since it is not a traditional recovery and I don't know if it touches all the partitions. In the future, research, research, and research, and pay very close attention to exactly what you are flashing onto your phone. For the Verizon S3, you should only flash ROMs from this sub-forum. And when using safestrap, you are restricted to only flashing ROMs with the same build number as what your phone is currently on in a stock condition.

Confused About What's Possible for Modding a Stock Verizon S3

Can someone please steer me in the right direction? I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2 stock. I recently rooted my phone, but I realize I am very limited as to any mods I can make due to the locked bootloader. Am I able to modify my OS in some way at all (Safestrap) to make my phone run better, or am I just too late in going about this? I've read so much on this subject, but the more I read, it seems the more confused I get. I want to be careful not to brick my phone and would love to see some precise directions on what I could do. Thanks a million for any help at all!

It's hard to compare this forum with the others. I believe the people here are the most knowledgeable and, like you, very helpful. Funny enough, or not, I posed a related question on another site (initials AC), and it took over 150 views and a week later before anybody offered a reply. Anyway, I can see there is lots of information on this forum about xposed, so now I'll go and learn as much as I can about it. Thanks again for your help!

Btw, here's a link for others like me who are clueless about xposed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299428

And yes I agree some are a lot more helpful than others. The guys and gals still lurking around the VZW S3 forums have been here since the beginning for this phone and even though mine is no longer active I still use it daily, mostly for games but will probably never give it up.

Can't Believe What I - did! - - - Need Help Rebooting Phone

ShapesBlue-

I seem to have gotten into big trouble - I hope there's a solution. I learned all about Xposed and installed it along with about a dozen modules. Everything was working great, except the torch/flashlight... [I wanted that! ] so, I saw a download for a module on this forum to fix the flashlight... http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-flashlight-fixer-fix-devices-t2867267 . Well, since doing that, I think I realized that I should have left the flashlight alone! When I tried to reboot after adding the module to xposed, I ended up in what i believe is a boot loop. The Samsung screen comes on, and then it gets stuck on the red Verizon screen. I never dreamed that a module installation could cause this; and I guess I figured if it ever happened I could get into recovery mode and restore everthing. Btw, I had done a complete backup of my phone using Titanium on my sd card.

So, here's what I can/can't do now. I can push "down-volume-button" + home + power to get to screen where you can download a cusom OS - then pushing volume-up-button goes to screen that says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!! (Nothing seems to happen from here.) - - - I cannot enter recovery mode by pressing "volume-up" + home + power keys. When I do that I get the big yellow triangle with message - System software not authorized...go to nearest Verizon store. hmmmm.... So, am I hard bricked or soft bricked? Do I have a way out? Thanks very much for any help with this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
No problem. Your soft bricked and it seems your on the latest firmware, correct me if I'm wrong

Try kies

Instead of odin, you could try using samasung kies 3 and use its emergencey firmware recovery tool which dl's and intalls the correct, latest firmware on your device.

What you do:

Install kies 3 on your computer.

Boot to odin mode on your phone.

Click on tools in kies.

Select emergency firmware recovery option.

Follow on screen directions.

Hope I helped!

Shapes Blue & Root Wizard,

Thanks much for your replies. Is it possible for me, having had 4.4.3 on phone, to go to 4.3 instead of 4.4.2? Seems some people think that's an advantage, but I'm not sure. If I did do that, could I still run xposed?

Btw, RW, I tried using your idea, but when I was attempting to do the emergency Firmware Recovery, it asked for a computer code...??? So, that method doesn't seem to be a good route for me, but thanks for the tip!

You guys don't know how happy I am to have you come to the rescue! I've been using an old iPhone 4 for calls, etc.... during the day which I don't like at all! I'll be real glad to get back to AndroidLand. Thanks again!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I'm 100% sure the last update on the VZW S3 was 4.4.2 NE1. As long as you can root the phone you should be able to run xposed without an issue

And no you cannot downgrade to anything other than what your currently on

Believe-it-or-not, I still haven't been able to get my s3 back up & running.

I think I'm doing everything right, but obviously there's a problem somewhere.

I uploaded a jpg screenshot in case you weren't able to open the other file. Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Root Wizard:
It seems the firmware file isnt loading into odin properly. Is your file reliable and not corrupt? Did you run odin as administrator? Try redownloading the file and try again. It should take a while to download and input into odin. And yes, the file name should appear near AP. Everything else seems to be correct. Reply when your done.

Woooohooooo!!!!! I'm back on 4.4.2 !!!

Hey, you guys are the greatest!!! Believe me, I've been around many forums.... and you guys have been absolutely super!!! There are some forums where you're lucky if you hear back from someone in a week!

So, here's where the problem was & Root Wizard got me thinking about it. Although somehow the firmware file I used to upload to Odin was on my desktop, it wasn't with the other .ini file (not sure if that made the difference or not) So I re-extracted the files out from the zip file to a folder that I labeled "extracted" to make sure I was getting the .tar.md5 file from the right place. Once I did that, I could see it was the right one, and like RW said, it took quite a while to load into Odin.

Coincidentally, another problem I was experiencing earlier was that the Odin app wouldn't open on my desktop; It would show up for a split second, and a button had some Korean letters on it. - Anyway, I think the problem was very similar to what I described above. So with Odin, I re-extracted the v. 3.09 into a file labeled "extracted file", and then Odin opened properly. So the big lesson for me is, make sure I extract all files out of the zip folder, and keep them all together! Although the files look the same (name, etc...) in the folder, they're not the same. (compressed, etc...)

Here's a great article I that I just found a while ago from some other site that really explains Odin very well. http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-odin/ And ShapesBlue, you were right that there used to be a PDA Box below the BL box, but the newer version of Odin changed that from PDA to AP; the article has great pics that shows it all perfectly.

Now I'm ready for a beer, or two!!! If you guys were here I'd spring for yours too! I've been using a crappy little, iPhone4 over the last few days, and it just doesn't compare with Android. Btw, when my S3 rebooted, everything was there like normal: all my screens, data, texts, etc...; Even my Xposed modules are all there! I thought I was going to have to use my Titanium Backup to retrieve all that stuff, but luckily I don't. So, I merely need to re-root my phone. - Then I'm going to flash a rom called PaulPizz that I learned about on this forum; that gets rid of most of the bloatware, and add's some nice features.... Oh btw, I'm going to forget about the torch flashlight toggle thing... that's what got me into all this trouble.

Thanks again guys! I really appreciate all your help!!!

... From one problem to Another

Okay, I'm not sure how this happened, but.... I saved a rom (zipfile), at least I thought I did, to the SD card; I attempted to use the Unofficial Safestrap to flash the rom; I did a factory wipe per the instructions, and then went to install the rom on my stock rom slot, but I can't find the rom zip file anywhere on my SD card! yikes!!! - So, what are my options? What's the best way out of this problem? I also have the s3 plugged into PC, but it doesn't look like I can try to recopy the rom file to the SD card at this point. - btw, I can see my Titanium backup file of the sd card. - - - I'm at a loss as to what to do now. I'm not even sure if I can get back into an Odin download mode again with the phone (I'm assuming no, but don't know). Thanks for any help! :crying:

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Okay, I did a little reading and pretty much figured I'd be able to get back into download mode, which I did. Odin is loading my 4.4.2 stock firmware into my phone right now so I'm good to go!

I'm not sure what happened to the copied zip file for the rom I was installing; All I can think of is maybe there wasn't enough space on my card, and it didn't copy, not sure.... I remember reading a tip somewhere about having a folder on the sd card labeled ROMs so you can easily change from one to another and I suppose "find your roms" easily. I'm of course limited with a locked bootloader so I'm sure this rom and or one or two other TW roms I try will be all I can have anyway. But I was totally scared when I couldn't find my rom. - I guess when one makes enough mistakes, it's a great opportunity for learning! And with all I've learned lately, I'm sort of turning into a techy!....lol. - Sorry to bug you guys on the weekend.... :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Captain_FSU:
So yesterday I noticed that when I tried to stream a movie through google play movies & tv only the audio would play (oddly enough the info cards still come up along with the closed captioning). I can however download movies/shows and they will play and the trailers in the app will stream and play video but nothing that I own will play video. I've tried switching between awesome player and nuplayer and nothing. Installed Movies & TV 3.7 and still nothing.

I'm running a Cyanogenmod 12 nightly so I'm guessing/hoping the cause is a bug in one of the nightlies. If not is it possible that google might be blocking the video? I find it suspicious that the trailers in the app will stream and play fine but nothing else will. Does anyone have any troubleshooting tips other then changing the ROM?

Gang, I have kind of an odd question and don't know where else to ask.

Does anyone here know if the LCD connectors on Galaxy phones are universal? I ask because I have a Note 3 with bad LCD. The owner has pics on it but it also has a 4 digit lock. They don't want to spend $200 on a new screen just want the pics.

Basically I just need a screen connected long enough to unlock the phone and get the pics off. I see this as my only option unless someone here has a cracked screen that still works they would be willing to sell/send to me.

Thank you!

I'm running cm12 on my rooted notepro P900; it's a beautiful experoence. I've noticed two things and was hoping for some guidance...

2. When I adjust the volume from either my bt keyboard or the hardware buttons, the slider completely obliterates whatever else is on the screen. In a few moments it goes away and everything else is still there unharmed, but it is jarring to say the least.
