[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Unlikely consequence of rooting unless you installed something that burrowed deep into you system. First steps are a virus scan (unlikely to find anything but easy to do and may provide additional clues) followed by a cleaner app / task manager to look for crud and autostarts. Might want to disable gapps (especially play services) to rule out a conflict. After that a some type of reset/restore but how that is best accomplished depends on what firmware you are on.

I assume you have a root manager such as SuperSU installed. Might want to check logs to see what you have recently permitted. Rooting doesn't cause the systoms you describe but does give you the ability screw yourself.

Hi guys,

my HD7 was bricked and when power on it is displaying kindle fire logo then fastboot logo then it black out.

Before this, it is working on 7.5.1 . I tried to flash TWRP and CM, but I failed. maybe because I plug the cable too fast. Then I can't install the driver. it is shown as OMAP4440 and can't find driver.

I installed amazon driver, doesn't work. installed Android SDK usb driver doesn't work. it keep refreshing in device manager even after install driver.

now it is hardware id become USB\VID_0451&PID_D010 not USB\VID_1949&PID_0006 .

Adb shell can't find device and fastboot tool is same.

I use fastboot cable, it is same. can't stay in fastboot stage.

anyone can help me?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
It sounds like you have a corrupt bootloader. Does the device boot to fastboot even if the fastboot cable isn't plugged in?

This thread is for Kindle Fire 2 and not HD. If you post in the KF HD they should help you better! Also if you can get to fastboot, why not try reflashing bootloaders and recovery?

Hi,

I've read that now Xperia Overlay, the custom firmware by Achotjan, is ready for our Xperia Play.

According to what is reported on facebook, the latest working version is 2.1.3.

Did anyone try it? Is everything working?

Unfortunately it's a paid firmware, available only through their website
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrado113:
Quick review of Xperia Overlay

I've installed and updated Xperia Overlay on my Play.

In my opinion, it's not ready for daily use. There are random reboots and several bugs.

However, and that's strange, camera is working, and 720p video recording is available.

I will update the post as soon as I test the rom

Update: yesterday I tested the firmware, however today I switched back on stock GB, that still is the best for me.

About Xperia overlay, everything is working. It's not the same firmware of z2 obviously, since themes and stamina aren't working.

Speaking about bugs, I noticed that WiFi sometimes drops and light sensor doesn't work properly.

The major problems of the Rom are stability and performance. Everything is too slow. Unlocking the phone and switching between apps is frustrating. However it's still better than other Rom I tried.

Battery life is poor since to mitigate performance overclock is enabled by default to 1.6GHz. I had to decrease it to 1.4 since the phone use to reboot randomly every 2 mins. Btw reboot remains, like one per hour.

And that's all.

I hope to see this camera working in cm11 since it's the only thing that doesn't work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
what are the Install instructions for this ?? and did you use the above mentioned Version 2.1.1 only right.. how do you compare it to the current cm12 we have for Xperia play ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrado113:
To install you have to:

flash the kernel included via fastboot

reboot in cwm

wipe dalvik cache, cache

format data, system

install the zip

The latest complete fw is 2.1.1, then you can update it to 2.1.3 via ota through the preinstalled app.

I can't compare to cm12 since I don't tried it because I don't have an sd card fast enough :(

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
This red triangle is the stock recovery....

You are seeing that red triangle with a "!" inside just because stock recovery is not meant to be accessed by the user. The only things stock recovery can do is to install ota update and perform factory reset which both are supposed to be launched from the OS. If you really wants to enter the stock recovery, hold volume up and hit power when at the red triangle screen and it will turn from this:

I tried a lot of 5 and 5.1 rom and i found myself missing 4.4.4 with Xposed.

I don't have the time anymore to flash every few days and i want a consistent daily driver that do not slow down after 1 month of use.

On my previus phone, a Nexus S, people started to roll back to gingerbread for this reason, while i think this is a little too extreme, now i understand their toughts.

I'm the only one here?
[G 2014 General] Tel864:
You're certainly the only one to break rule 2.1 with your post subject line. ** instead of letters is still a nono. As for your question, there's probably not a lot here that agree since a good portion of XDA is about rom development and this entire forum is devoted to development. Many, like myself enjoy tinkering with their phone setup and software. As an occasional beta tester for Microsoft, I do the same with my PC.
[G 2014 General] lojpek:
Because of battery drain I roll back to 4.4.4 ;) waiting for stable 5.0.2 or 5.1 :)

Lollipop is not that great upgrade at all for any device :(

it's too immature, but I'm sure it will improve progressively.

If you don't like it, just revert to KitKat... XDA gives you all the tools needed ;)

Instead, if you need Xposed on Lollipop, there's an alpha2 version that works fine and Gravitybox already works on it :good: :victory:

Comunque complimenti per il titolo... sempre a farci riconoscere... bah! :( :rolleyes:

[HTC One E8] ILastSamuraiI:
Hey there, I have a rooted HTC e8 with TWRP-Recovery and xposed + xprivacy installed. Everything worked fine until some days ago I got a notification from xposed to restart due to an update (might be 54->58 but I can't 100% remember). So I touched the notification and got to the xposed menu where the different restart buttons are. I used software reboot (might have been an error :crying:) and the screen went black. Thats what always happens, but the problem is that now my phone doesn't boot back up (at least I guess so). What ever I do (hold power for a short/long time, power and -) nothing seems to work. If I connect it via usb adb devices sees a device, but adb reboot doesn't seem to do anything either.

What happened? How do I get my phone back to where it was before?

Some help would be great!
[HTC One E8] Eiad Ajam:
you mean you can't boot your phone ?

if you can

press the power button

once htc screen appear click " - " button untill it boots

this puts your device in safe mode

try to remove xposed or the module you have installed lately
[HTC One E8] ghost_razr:
I think your e8 is soft bricked. First your power on your phone by pressing power button, then as soon as htc logo appears, you press power and volume down button together to go to bootloader screen. From there you can enter TWRP by selecting recovery menu. After that you can try to restore backup for system or can do a complete restore also.

Hope that helps.
[HTC One E8] ILastSamuraiI:
A little late, but my problem was actually a battery problem. I found it somewhere online. There is a key combination (up + down + power I think it was) that you can press to recalibrate your battery. That helped.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
Purchased Note 4 from Singapore, Model # : N910G (4G variant). Using it in Indonesia with TELKOMSEL. Bought in Singapore because I wanted LTE. In Indonesia, they are selling N910H, which is only 3G.

Got the USIM Card from TELKOMSEL Indonesia and put it in my Note 4.

There is no LTE Option under Network Mode.. it only shows:

WCDMA / GSM

WCDMA Only

GSM Only

Replaced with M1 Singapore USIM Card and Optus Australia USIM Card, it shows:

LTE/WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA Only

GSM Only

These options appears even when I put those USIM in Indonesia.

Put my USIM card in another N910G in Singapore (belong to Samsung store), their LTE option disappears

WCDMA / GSM

WCDMA Only

GSM Only

Put my USIM Card in Samsung Galaxy Edge in Samsung Store in jakarta, LTE option is there

LTE/WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA/GSM

WCDMA Only

GSM Only

I used #*2263# and chose SELECT ALL BANDS and just happened to be in 4G area and for the first time, I can see the 4G signal. However, when I went to the network mode, it still does not have LTE option.

Question:

Even though there is no LTE option, does my phone operates in 4G when it gets 4G signal? or the 4G symbol only shows that we are in the 4G area but the phone won't download as fast as 4G because the LTE option is missing and am using the WCDMA / GSM setting?

Isn't it funny that my USIM Card can make the LTE option in another phone disappears?

Hi,

Try upgrading your note 4 to lolipop (5).

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I'm on the fence. The only reason I can see right now for rooting, is having multiple user accounts, and battery / performance tweaks.

As for the first I can live without that. The second one, right now I do not believe is possible. It'll only be possible to improve battery by limiting the power of the phone which is a shame.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GameOver69:
If we root the device, will it still get software upgrades to the stock (now rooted) rom?

If so, Is there anything that cant be done when rooted that would not allow this to work? (ie, maybe removing a stock app, or disabling an app that the system (non rooted) wont let you disable, having custom recovery)?

Let me know thanks!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Rooting doesn't improve anything. It allows you to access the system root (ie c:/windows/) which on android is locked away from users.

If you are going to root, it is only really worth it if you plan to s-off (security off) which allows you to run unsigned code, gives better leaway on recovering a borked device and gives read/write access to all partitions on the device.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaang:
Hi guys,

Somehow I have lost all my files from Internal Storage. It's weird - they disappeared after unplugging the USB cable from my laptop the last time my phone was connected. Now only the default folders are there.

I want to use data recovery software to retrieve as many photos as I can salvage, but ofcourse the phone doesn't mount as a drive on a computer so I cannot do that. There are some other methods online like this one but they require root. As you all know, root isn't easy on the Z3 compact, and the only working method which doesn't require you to unlock your bootloader needs you to flash the firmware again so then I will lose all chance of recovering any data.

Right now I have stopped using this phone and have only received 5-6 emails and messages after losing all my data so hopefully its not overwritten yet.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!

Turns out only my SD card was being scanned by the software and internal memory ignored...I found one software in the end that could scan the internal memory mapped as a network drive, however the reported success rate was lower than recovering data from a local drive and I had to buy it for some $500 so I just gave up in the end...I think it was called Active something...

Software wise, all Nexus 6's are equal. Sprint is the same as Verizon, which is the same as UK, India etc. The only difference between the 2 models (North America and International) is the Radio Bands for LTE.

So in answer to your question, use the latest 5.1 Gapps if you run a 5.1 ROM or run the latest 5.0.2 Gapps, if you run a 5.0.2 ROM.

you can pm block stuff on firehd without root. TiBU falls back on this function, if it cannot detect root.

there's also this highly useful software that works on firehd (and just about any kitkat/4.4 device)

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

it also works fine on pre-4.4 devices (e.g. fire TV) but only if they are rooted.

it's sort of like a very-stripped-down-TiBU for Windows. sometimes it's nice to be able to filter and enable/disable large scale, without having to click around an android app :)

pretty sure someone alreary mentioned, but make sure you have a 2nd Launcher installed before you disable spamazon launcher :)

I forget if there is a way to recover from that or not.

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

(if am remembering this correctly (too lazy to search for my old posts lol) - pre-4.4 doesn't have 'pm block' only 'pm disable' - "disable" requires root, "block" does not. titanium understands this difference, but treats both as "freezing" - so does the above windows software tool. if you freeze stuff in titanium, the windows tool will show it as blocked or disabled. if you block or disable stuff in the windows tool, titanium will show it as frozen.)
