It worked. Thank you so much for your help.

Glad you are able to fix the problem. Props to EncryptedCurse for picking up the ball and pointing you in the right direction. Thanks also to draxie for posting a solution. Not many devices live through a soft brick. Well done.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Aftermath__:
I have issue with both manual upgrading and downgrading my .3.2.4 . After reboot grey logo is showed and it seems like it's frozen. I've waited 10 minutes and turned it off and on and it's back to the state before update. Any advice will be appreciated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Let's focus on upgrading to 3.2.5 as I believe it is the safer path (for the record, tweaking build.prop for a direct downgrade from 3.2.4 is also fine if you know what you're doing and can recover from a mistake). So you put the 3.2.5 bin obtained from here in the root ("internal storage") directory and then follow the instructions in the same post. When the device reboots to only get the grey Kindle Fire Logo. Is that correct?

Suggestions:

- be sure to reenable OTA updates if previously disabled. Keep wifi off, delete all wifi profiles and stay away from open hotspots

- make sure you have a 'clean' copy of build.prop. The contents are machine specific so I can't point you to a link. If unsure check with the previous owner to see if he modified it. Need to be real careful with this file. If the contents or permissions get messed your device can become non-responsive (a kinder way of saying 'soft brick').

- if still no luck try enabling wifi and disabling airplane mode. Some folks claim this is a necessary step (has not been my experience)

- a somewhat riskier step is performing a factory reset just prior to upgrading. Again, some posters have stated this allowed the update to proceed. However, there is a small risk of harming your device with this technique of the recovery partition is damaged and/or build.prop is messed.

From Amazon

: To start the software update:

-Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings, and then tap Settings.

-Tap Device, and then tap System Updates.

-Tap Update. Your Kindle Fire will restart during the software update. After the restart, the message "Installing system update" will appear on the screen.

I realize the above seems simplistic; you've probably done everything right. Just covering the basics before moving on.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Aftermath__:
All of the above was done, except factory reset. I started with upgrading to 3.2.5 as I followed the steps in your post. Link in this part

wasn't about 3.2.5 and I guess I shouldn't follow the instructions in it, but I did. I downloaded bin file from here and started update and after the reboot got stuck with grey logo. I restarted device and tried to downgrade, but got the same result. Wi-Fi is on and all of the networks are protected.

I believe build.prop is untouched and there were 5 backups in internal storage, although I think he messed with some system apps, because, and that is one of the reasons I'm doing this now, there is no working keyboard and I can't access "Keyboard Language" and "Keyboard Settings". Should I try factory reset?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Sorry about the mispointed link. I usually test those as occasionally a previous cut gets 'stuck' in the clipboard. Given where you have been and the other symptoms I would consider a factory reset. Be aware this is some risk. Not great but there. In most cases undesirable outcomes are limited to doing nothing to help/hurt the problem or device. On rare occasions you are left with a brick.

When the device comes back try the upgrade process again.

(out for a few hours; will check back later)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Aftermath__:
I tried and i can't do factory reset because of the same issue as with the upgrade/downgrade. I guess the reason is that I flashed this recovery and I really shouldn't.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Correct. Unprotected flashing is a bad idea. Fortunately it's fixable. Two options:

1) Look for 'recovery.img.bak' in the recovery folder. If found this is likely the stock recovery. You can reflash with flashify.

2) Flash 3.2.6 recovery here. While not explicitly for 3.2.4 I have been told hdx-thor recovery images are close cousins for versions 13.1.0-13.2.6.

I would be remiss not to point out the risks associated with flashing a new recovery. Bad things can happen...but probably won't.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Aftermath__:
2) Will it work on my apollo?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Unfortunately, I have no first hand knowledge regarding compatibility across Thor and Apollo stock recoveries. Perhaps someone can comment. There is a method for creating a recovery image from components contained within an Amazon stock distribution (bin file). You would need some legwork to figure out the technique. I would use stock 14.3.1.0 or 14.3.2.5 as the source. Once you have built a recovery image you can flash with flashify. Should be around 10MB.

Alternatively, someone with an Apollo who has successfully installed twrp could post their recovery.img.bak (found in the recovery folder) if one was created.

Beyond that I'm out of ideas ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
No. Logically, you should be able to extract the recovery from the update BIN.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Aftermath__:
How to do it? I found only this and this posts. Should I try it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
It's risky but likely your only recourse. I would read the entire thread starting with post 190 or so. Definitely some homework involved here. BTW - this was the only thread I found when in a similar situation (trashed recovery). At the time I was baffled and didn't attempt the repair. Ultimately I found a backup of my original recovery and was able to flash that. So I have no first hand knowledge whether this works and/or potential gotchas. A couple posters indicate the technique worked for them. Good luck.

This batch file worked and I've managed to install cm11. Unlocking procedure seems too compicated for now, I'll get back to it later. Thanks Davey126 and EncryptedCurse for your help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lolwatpear:
Why does CM11 not require an unlocked bootloader?

Also, is it possible for a dev to create a really simple bootloader unlocking tool, or is this not possible?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
CM11 binaries are signed; CM12 are not. Developer/maintainer choice.

Well, if it were that simple someone probably would have done it. Beyond that the steps require your device be in several states which would be difficult to fully automate.

Hi

I update my cingular / att 8525 with the new rom that replace the wireless modem with the internet sharing. The internet sharing worked fine.

Some time when my home high speed internet goes slowly, I use my 8525 as a wireless modem to connect to my work computer via Cisco VPN version 3.66.

After upgrade to the new rom that uses internet sharing, I cannot connect to my work computer as before the upgrade. As soon I run the VPN Client, and the VPN do all registration, I not longer have internet access. When I run Remote Desktop to connect to my work computer, I got an error that I can't find the computer. If I open the internet explorer (IE) to go any site, the IE can not find any size. If I disconnect the VPN connection and repair the internet sharing I can browse the internet.

I contact the HTC support with not result. I want to know if someone that has not upgrade the rom yet, can send me the wmodem files from the windoew directory to see if I can get the wireless modem working or if some one has any correction options.

Regards,

Gilberto Fres
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
The latest Cisco VPN client (v5.0) fixes this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gilfres:
I installed the Cisco VPN version 5 in work computer to test. I disconnect from the network and create a bluetooth connection between my 8525 and the PC. I got internet access thru the phone. I launch the VPN and the VPN connect to the network. I check for internet access and was still there. The only problem is that when I ping any computer in my work network, I dont get any reply. I still can't connect to any computer in my work network, but this time with this new version of VPN, I'm not losing the internet.

If posible to get the WModem software that is the wireless modem instead of internet sharing?

Regards

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Sounds like a bug that was in the Beta v5.0 client. Are you connecting to a Cisco VPN concentrator? I'm using a 3020 w/o issues on the production client (has official Vista support).

My laptop runs Windows XP however..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LMaxwell:
Possibly because DNS isn't working thru the VPN client? Can you ping or RDP by IP address?

Or, do the hard coded proxy settings affect VPN? Have you tried disabling the proxy?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gilfres:
Hi

The version of the Cisco VPN is 5.0.00.0340. I'm connecting to cisco 3000 server. If I trying to ping any computer on my work network after the VPN connect, gave me time out all the time, but I could connect to the internet using the Internet Explorer.

Playing with this yerterday, in the control > network connection, I pick the property of the connection made by the 8525. I went to the properties. In the Advanced tab I click the option "Internet Connection Sharing" to see if the VPN work and I received a message that the connection to the internet can be lost. I lost the connection and went back to the property dialog box. When I click the Advanced tab, the all "Internet Connection Sharing" section not longer showing up in the "Advanced" tab.

Right now the phone connect to the PC, but I don't have any internet in the PC. How I can disabled this "Intenet Connection Sharing" when this doesn't show up in the Advanced tab of the network connection properties?

I've got the AKU3.5 ROM loaded on my 8525 but I've not tested the Cisco VPN client with it. My responses have been based on my TyTN which runs my WM6 ROM. I'll pair up my laptop with the 8525 later today and test.

Did you test your 8525 with the Cisco VPN Client?

Gilberto
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Forgot about it.... :rolleyes: I'll be home in 2hrs & will test then.

also: are you tethering via USB or Bluetooth?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Testing complete. Tethered my laptop to my 8525 using USB. Connected to my 3020 concentrator with Cisco VPN client v5.0.00.340, logged in and successfully browsed to our internal-only (RFC1918 CIDR block) intranet portal site.

I am using IPSec over UDP (NAT/PAT).

Looks like the 8525 Internet Sharing/v5.0.00.340 client combination works for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gilfres:
Sleuth255

Our company concentrator is the 3000 not the 3020 that you use for the test.

Look like I have to wait to HTC release the update to WM6 and lockely if the will include the DUN package in the update.

I got the VPN connect but can't sent and received any package thru the VPN. I still have internet browsing capability, but I can't ping any computer in my work network.

Thank Sleuth255 for your information.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
are you also IPSec over UDP?

hey all, does anyone know if there are any free/opensource vpn client WM5/WM6 software? I've tried Antha and Bluefire VPN. I had great success with Bluefire VPN but a license costs $79. Antha was just a bit too unstable.

Any recommendations?

Hi,

This is a small (maybe) guide for changing rom logo in about phone (Settings).

Ok lets get started.

Requirements: x-plore file manager http://www.mediafire.com/download/zeckscfoy6c7zox/X-plore.apk

Any photo editor which can conver images into . Png format. ( i use pixler express)

Instructions:

1.First using photo editor convert the photo which u want to use. Make sure the resulution of that image is as low as possible.

2. copy the Settings.apk from system/priv-app to root folder of sdcard.

3. Open x-plore and browse for Settings you copied earlier in second tab (reffer screen shots in 2nd post)and long press on It and select open apk as zip.

4. Goto res/ and browse for the original rom logo and rename your image exactly as original logo.

5. Copy your image into the folder where original logo is.

6. Now you have to sign the moded Settings.apk for that open original Settings.apk as zip from system /priv-app, and copy the meta-inf and android mainfest.xml to moded Settings.apk.

7. Now push your Settings.apk into system /priv-app /Settings.

8 reboot.done

Please reffer to screen shots below for better understanding

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerousBro:
Hi,

Guys I am going through some **** right now. Plese read the scenarios below and help me. I got no help at the oneplus forums.

Scenario 1 -

My phone was working fine until last night, I mean this is when I last used it. I switched it off and went off to sleep and in school today when I was trying to power it on the boot logo came and it went and after many tries the cyanogen logo came and it went away there is 80% battery. It doesn't charge also, like the phone recognises the charger but remains at 80% when I go to recovery try wiping cache and data, the phone switches off in few seconds. I can go into fastboot and stay for like 3 seconds then the phone switches off but I can connect it to power and keep it. I am on stock, latest CM12S. The only unusual thing I did yesterday on my phone is that I charged it using a different adapter but same cable. I can't seem to find this issue on google.

Scenario 2 -

Guys,

My phone's really messed up and I am scared to tell my dad cause he warned me before getting it for me. After the OnePlus logo comes, when I press the volume button and hold it, it works and as soon as I leave the volume button, the phone switches off. What is wrong? Do I need to send it back. I got it from Oneplus.cn so I am a bit worried and it's going to be tough to check what's happening.

Scenario 3 -

I removed cm12s and tried to flash oxygenos and I failed so then I installed cm11s and still have the problem, my phone can only boot in safe mode and as soon as I leave the volume button it switches off, same for recovery. Used the onplus toolbox by Inthiaano to install CM11S 44S.

Hi guys.. I explain my problem: in short words during the day happens very frequently that the phone goes into freeze ... the touch does not react, but the rest of the system works perfectly: the side buttons work, messages arrive, rings etc .. when it happens I have to do a soft reset and then returns all ok .. I did a hard reset but nothing has changed. This problem makes me think of a faulty closure of some system process such as the one that operates the touch .. it's possible in your opinion? From what can be caused?

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here. Not sure if this is the right place for this thread but here it is.

I have not upgraded my Z3 compact to lollipop yet, but this upgrade seems to have brought great disappointment.

I just want to ask before I do anything I would regret,

Would you recommend people upgrading to the new lollipop? What should I expect?

Thanks guys.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It's really up to your luck and personal preference. I don't regret updating to Lollipop, works fine for me and even fixed one annoying bug - but the usual YMMV applies here, as there are indeed both bugs and drawbacks that affect specific use cases.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avila188:
the latest one seems better, 23.1.A.1.28, reincluded the great close all button.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lurdy:
Been running on Lollipop since it was released, and I didn't have any major bug (well, before the latest update I had some annoying freezes that rendered everything unresponsive -screen, buttons.. Even a hard reboot didn't work, but its fixed apparently.)

Battery life is still great for me (5-6 hours of SOT), it's smooth and responsive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] framerper2:
I'm especially interested in this for the battery life. In fact, I just bought precisely for this, so if the Z3c running 5.0.2 is worse in battery life than in 4.4.4, I'll prefer to stay in the latter.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhadtarapore:
I am on 5.0.2.

Yes, I find that the battery life (with same usage) is slightly degraded in 5.0.2 as compared to 4.4.4. I say "slightly" because it still lasts me for 2 days, it's not as if it has reduced to half and is unusable.

Performance wise, I see no lag while playing games, etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0nuff:
Battery life isn't that much worse.. But I'm a little bummed about a few things..

1) Removal of a Volume Profile option from the power button menu (it's not available in the Notifications pull down either)

2) Close All Apps button gone from Recent Menu
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pawel04:
The close all apps button is back for me in the latest build: 23.1.A.1.28 however the biggest bummer is like you say the volume profile option.

Also with the latest build i'm actually pretty impressed with the battery life however i've only had the phone for about a week so i dont really have much to compare to.

Not sure if this was directed at me but i wouldn't be able to tell you as i never really noticed an issue with that in the week of owning the phone. I have actually downgraded to KitKat for the ease of switching between sound modes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revontheus:
I would recommend updating to Lollipop the new UI looks cool and fluid. Audio problems can be fixed by having root and disabling the Use NUPlayer function found in Developer Options and installing a third-party app like V4A

Call Quality Audio is fine you can tweak the way it sounds in Settings>Call Settings just like in Kitkat

Battery Problem caused by Memory Leak can be fixed by using a certain Xposed Module
