[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] plbelanger:
Purchased a used rooted s4 today and installed the latest cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly. That installs and works fine and all but the second I install the GApps package it results in "Unfortunately _insert Google app_ has stopped" just spamming my screen. If I close it another will just pop up and I can't get into settings or anything. I've tried clearing cache/dalvik etc but same thing. Basically I just have to wipe the device and reinstall without gapps to get it to a usable state. I have the NC5 Verizon galaxy s4 with OUDhs CWM Touch Req0very v1.0.3.5 (was installed by previous owner). I've also tried different gapp package such as slim gapps and same thing. Any ideas?

EDIT: Solved. Updated my recovery and it worked fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JDMJAY:
I purchased a used S4 from Tmobile from a guy who say he broke it so just upgraded. It's a Tmobile phone but is locked to Tmobile at least it seems. If I put a Metro pcs Sim in its not saying locked lije it does with my At&t Sim. So does this mean it's locked to anything other than T mobile and metro ?

Also Swappa says the following can somone explain ?

You need to go into recovery and select factory reset to wipe the data partition or the better way is with twrp and just select wipe data and cache.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2390:
Okay, so I'm looking to get a new phone, and the S6 is very high on my list, next to the One M9. I'd prefer the S6 for several reasons (battery, screen, fingerprint reader, ect) however there is one thing that keeps me on the fence. The S6 uses an Exynos CPU instead of a Qualcomm. What worries me is that ROM porting will be more difficult. The main one I have in mind is the Windows 10 ROM pack, which I really want to use. Currently the only confirmed phones are from Xiaomi, but I figure it would be easier to port it to the Snapdragon 810 then the Exynos. Plus all current windows phones only use Snapdragon processors. Is this an issue? Will the proprietary chipset hurt ROM development?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Truestark:
Actually yes and no. Exynos is a very poweful chip but samsung is a bish when it comes to releasing source code. See what they did with exynos 4 ( 4210 and 4412 i.e. one on s3 and note 2 ). Still the s3 had amazing rom support. I flashed my s3 the day I got it. I never had a problem with it, used it for 2 years ( thats for most of us). Keeping rom support in mind I got a Nexus 6 this march, and it had almost the same roms as the s3 had, BUT yes snapdragons are very friendly when it comes to sources. It does take huge developer efforts for building and maintaining exynos sources using reverse engineering. I got rid of my nexus 6 ( 2 units) because they had such ****ty quality control (Moto sucks in this area). S6 will have enough roms soon .. just initially it will take time but soon it will pick up pace.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2390:
Yeah, I've actually decided to go with the Oneplus One, it has a bigger battery, and more storage, I don't really care about the resolution (my eyes can't see it), and it's infinitely cheaper. However, since you seem to know so much about processors, what is the deal with Mediatek? I just don't get it, every device I've seen with them are horribly sluggish, and I'd think that a similarly priced Snapdragon would be more powerful.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Well I would do the free unlock first, after that I would take the plunge. Why don't you just OTA all the way to nj1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] coolwhipp420:
What do you mean by the free unlock?? All I can think of is a Sim unlock.. I'm not trying to do that so pls explain more..

And I was under the impression you can only do 1 update every 24hrs using OTA.. And since I need to update in increments, it would take several days to get all the updates..

Any information is appreciated.. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
Yes I ment the free Sim unlock, also if you push the date forward on your phone one day you can run the ota again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] coolwhipp420:
Hmm.. I didn't know about pushing the date forward for OTA.. I'm thinking it would be safer for me going that route.. Even though I'm confident of my flashing skills..

When I finally get to NJ1, can I just Odin TWRP back on with a stock rom¿? Will twrp stick? Or do I just boot straight into recovery and start flashing?

Hi everyone,

I really need help.... I have an spv m5000 and a 1 gb kingston sd card wich works perfectly on my mp3 player ( I can read, upload and erase files). the thing is that in the spv I can read but I can't upload nor erase files.

I have already format the card and still the same problem

Any suggestion, any idea ??

thanks a lot

Rodrigo
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] kelford:
Is the little lock switch on the card itself (usually on the left side as you look at the front) set in the lock position? That would allow you to read without being able to modify files.

On my Transcend card the switch is locked when it is in the down position, and unlocked when it is up.

I hope that helps, that's the only thing I can think of right off.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rodrigo:
Thanks you for that ...but I've have try the upper possition, the lower postion and the middle (almost SD card Kama sutra ) possition and still not working.

anyway thanks for the tip
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cktlcmd:
What did you use to format the SD Card? Your computer or the Universal itself?

You can try and install WM5torage, an application that would allow you to view the SD Card while still in the Universal as a drive. Activate WM5torage and connect it via USB, then try "quick format" the SD Card this way.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rodrigo:
Solved

Thank you so much for the wm5torage...... that solve the problem with out format

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstevensaz:
Hi all,

I apologize in advance, but I was unsure if there was another thread my issue would best be posted. I have a kindle hd 8.9 32gb that is now stuck in a boot loop at the twrp (2.8.3.0) splash screen (after installing the new Candy5 5.1.1 rom). The rom installed fine and ran perfectly the 1st time, but upon the next device restart it entered the recovery loop and never gets past the splash screen. The kindle itself is recognized by my pc while the screen is looping, but adb shows the device as "unauthorized" and of course with the looping issue I am never prompted to enable. With the 8.9 and no ADB, I also am also unable to enter fastboot mode. Any thoughts or suggestions, or am I bricked with the only possibility being a direct e-MMC restoral? *my soldering kung-fu is extremely weak*

Thanks in advance for any answers!

I have the same problem as you. I updated CM to 12.1, perform a factory reset and I got stuck on twrp screen which is blinking...
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owenk19:
Possible Solution

I did something similar but with latest CM nightly rom and got stuck in the twrp recovery mode as a continuos loop, but mine was detected with the status "recovery" via adb;

Check if your adb /fastboot drivers are correctly installed and your not pluggin your kindle to a usb 3 port, then try this:

adb reboot bootloader

It will order the kindle to reboot in fastboot, after that you can just reflash the kindle to its original state with the fastboot commands from your backup.

Dont forget to erase the userdata, cache and all that stuff, you can do it with kindle firstaide

After that just redo all the process of rooting and install a Custom Rom.

Note: I got stucked on a loop of the kindle fire logo, cuz i didnt erase the userdata, but I was able to enter fastboot after the restore, thats why i suggest you delete the cache and other stuff
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaylumx:
EDIT: Nevermind. Managed to resolve the issue by booting into fastboot mode, erasing cache and userdata using SR Tool from the KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 and then sideloading the ROM and GAPPS. I lost everything but it means i do not have to buy another KFHD.

Really grown attached to it, especially when the guys at Cyanogenmod keep on releasing updated OS's every year or so, making my tablet feel new every time.

Good work fellers.

I have a Kindle Fire HD with the CM12.1 ROM installed. After installing a nightly i did a factory reset from within the OS and it is stuck in a bootloop occasionally flashing on the teamwin splash screen.

Have i bricked my system or is there a solution.

I posted here because it appears that the op and myself have the same issue.

I tried ADB method but when i use the command "adb device" it shows as unauthorized so it will not allow me to run the adb shell or reboot command.

Any solutions will be much appreciated.

Hi to all

I have the same problem with twrp blinking after a factory reset on cm 12.1 ... I tried adb or fastboot commands (with KFHD_SRT_v2.1 or latest android sdk tools) but I cannot see my device. Consider that I installed adb drivers on a win 8.1 pc with 2.0 and 3.0 usb ports and I am using the standard cable included in the kindle fire hd 8.9 package.

Where I am wrong? A fastboot cable can solve the problem? Sorry for this question but I read many threads and there are different opinions about that...

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] go8soccer:
When it's in the TWRP bootloop, the device should be in adb mode, so you can flash recovery, erase cache, etc..

I'd start off with a "adb erase cache", and that should get you past the TWRP bootloop.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

I'm in this same situation... BUT, I finally got into TWRP and was starting to restore the ROM, but then my battery died... while i was in TWRP recovery.

Now my device won't power on (won't get to the Kindle Fire boot logo). I can't adb or fastboot, since the device won't power on, even when I plug it into the computer. I've tried charging it overnight, hoping that would help.

Nothing.

Do any of you Android gods (@Hashcode) have anything else I can try? Anything in the Android SDK that might help and at least allow the device to accept a charge?

Thanks!

Same problem

I'm in the same situation as the OP. Unfortunately, my device is unauthorized in ADB and since I'm stuck in the TWRP loop, there's not much else I can do. I wondered if it was perhaps the drivers causing the issue, so I fuddled around uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. One thing to note is I'm using Windows 10, not sure if that could be causing any issues.

adb devices - Unauthorized - Amazon Jem- TWRP swithed to Cyanogen Recovery

I have similar issue. I have a kindle hd 8.9 16gb.I had 2nd boot loader installed with TWRP recovery. One day, I rebooted at it and it rebooted into cyanogen recovery for some reason (after installing the new CROM 5 5.1.1 rom). The rom installed fine and ranOK the 1st time, but upon the next device restart it entered the cyanogen recovery loop which has some options i.e. 1. Reboot system 2 apply update, wipe data /factory reset 3. wipe partition, 4. wipe media 5. reboot to bootloader ( fast boot mode)6. Power down and 7.view recovery logs,. The kindle itself is recognized by my pc while the screen is looping, but adb shows the device as "unauthorized" and of course with the looping issue I am never prompted to enable. adb devices results into xxxxxx ( some number ) unauthorized. I have tried all the options. No. 5 takes me to fast boot mode. but I can’t go any farther. The boot loop is driving me crazy . Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

when in fastboot mode, hook the kindle up to a PC with a terminal/command prompt (also make sure the kindle drivers are installed if you're running Windows) and enter fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000. you should see successful text on both the kindle and your terminal after running that command. if that's true, just do fastboot -I 0x1949 reboot afterwards to reboot the kindle.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
No, that's a separate issue. What I would suggest right now is for you to download the bootloader, freedom-boot, and TWRP 2.8.7.0 from Hashcode's thread, reboot to the bootloader from CM recovery, and flash the files as directed to in step 5. However, don't power off the kindle - it's already in fastboot mode, so there's no need to turn it off and tell it to reboot into the bootloader. Also, ignore the post warning about flashing the freedom-boot image - we're only using it temporarily.

Once you have the files flashed, reboot into recovery. If you're in TWRP, go ahead and flash CM or another ROM. Just avoid booting into system until you do so.

Hi Monster 1612! Thank you very much for helping me out. Please bare with me b/c I am a newbee. Should I download File no.2 & 3 from Step 2 or more. Can you explain a little more about "reboot to the bootloader from CM recovery" . If I do that it takes my device to fastboot mode. What is flash the files as directed to in step 5.

As for booting into fastboot mode on the kindle, this should be easy - in its current state, it just boots into Cyanogen Recovery, right? Anyway, you just need to choose option 5 in that recovery menu to enter fastboot mode.

KDHD recovery stuck in yeloow/white logo

I downloaded the bootloader, freedom-boot, and TWRP 2.8.7.0 from Hashcode's thread, reboot to the bootloader from CM recovery, and flashed the files as directed to in step 5 from Hashcode link.. Didn't power off the kindleas at it was already in fastboot mode as you said. Once I had the files flashed, rebooted into recovery. Wow, it rebooted into TRWP recovery mode. with 8 buttons (reboot,advance,mount,setting,restore backup,isnstall, wipe). I was so happy because of your help. Then I did the stupid thing. I rebooted probably into the system. Now My device is stuck in Kindle fire Yellow/white logo. Now ADB command works but adb devices dont bring anything ( waiting for devices). The driver is installed but my PC does not see it device manager. I lost fastboot mode too. I was so close sir because your help. I remember you telling me to flash into a ROM and not boot into system.

That makes me a real noob. Now please help me if you can. What is next? Is thre still a hope?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
The bootloader should still be responsive regardless of what's been flashed onto the kindle. Go ahead and completely turn off the kindle (hold the power button down for 10 seconds till the screen turns off), and then open a terminal on your PC. Type in fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product , and plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device>. After a few seconds, the kindle should be in fastboot, and the prompt should have outputted something like "jem-pvt-prod-04". Now repeat that flashing process again, and type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot when done. Press and hold the recovery key (the one closest to the camera) until you're in TWRP, then flash CM or another chosen ROM from TWRP.

Happy to help! :)

My friend , you are becoming a saviour. Have you got any donate button for support? I would like to contribute. This time I am not going to rush. Want to make sure I undestand everything. What is [/I] before / after fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot and fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar . I hope its not any part of command. BTW, I dont see any key near the camera ( recovery Key?). I have kindle fire HD 8.9. This has power key and up and down volume key.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
So far, I don't have a donate button - I'm worried about its legality, cause I'm not 18 for at least another year. :)

Anyway, the button we're talking about is volume up. It's the one closest to the camera, and the boot partition's programmed to boot into recovery when this button is pressed and held during initial boot (I.e.: when the Kindle Fire logo appears and changes from orange to blue). The fastboot flashing process I described above goes like this:

1) Power the kindle off completely, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, plug in kindle when prompted.

2) Kindle should boot into fastboot, and "jem-pvt-prod-04" or similar text will appear.

3) Flash TWRP, freedom-boot, and the 8.1.4 bootloader as you did before.

4) Type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot when you're done flashing, then immediately press and hold volume up as soon as you see the kindle fire logo. Keep holding until you're in TWRP.

5) Flash a ROM, as well as gapps if desired.

6) Profit :)

Hopefully, this clears up any confusion.

I would suggest extracting the boot.img from the ROM zip you want to flash. On a PC, you would just need to open the zip, then find the boot.img (on CM ROMs, they're usually found in the root directory of the zip) and copy it somewhere. Then power off the kindle, enter fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product, and continue as before until you're in the bootloader. Navigate to the directory where the boot.img is located if you haven't done so already, and then type fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img. Make sure the image you're flashing is the one from the ROM zip and not the freedom-boot image. Once the file is flashed, enter fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot, and try to enter TWRP again.
