Simply hold the button combination: power + home + volUp and the phone will restart in Recovery mode. Release just the power button as soon as the galaxy s2 logo appears but keep pressing home + VolUp

I have an htc one(m7) fully stock unrooted.

It is stuck on bootloop.. htc splash logo comes on for around 5 seconds and then reboots.

I tried getting into fastboot but it stays there for about 3 seconds and then reboots so I can't get to erase fastboot cache or flash new recovery or unlock the bootloader.

Help please anybody!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
So the bootloader is rebooting itself after 3 seconds? Not good at all....

Yes. Have tried everything including All button pressed for 30 seconds, volume down + power under a bright light. Nothing seems to work!

I had a htc one m7 for a year, unlocked and rooted with custom ROM and never had this kind of problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
if the bootloader is rebooting itself, its most likely an hardware issue. You need at least a table bootloader to do anything. Sorry

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flooders:
Hello,

My brother's galaxy s4 i9505 need a new charger because its original charger broke. So i did some searching on the internet, and found out that i9505 support qualcomm quick charge 1.0, and also found a charger which support quick charge ( EP-TA20ewe ), but the problem is that if the EP-TA20ewe charger is a quick charge 1.0 charger or 2.0 charger. Even if the charger supports quick charge 2.0 is it possible for my brother to charge his phone with the charger?, that seems logical for it to support, but i dont know if EP-TA20ewe is for note 3 or note 4 or s3 or s3 , i dont know for which mobile phone model samsung has designed for.

Can you guys please help me find the original samsung charger for samsung galaxy s4 i9505 which supports qualcomm quick charge 1.0 for EUROPE , and i would like it to support 2.0 if it can charge s4 without any heat problem etc.

Thanks

I dont know if i posted this post at a right place, sorry for that
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Amazon for your country should have them. I just went to amazon.co.uk and searched for Galaxy S4 charger. The first two hits were for chargers. There may be more in the 144,000+ results.

Failing that, call Samsung. They should be able to sell you a charger.

[Q] [Q&A] [RECOVERY] can't access recovery after CWM 4.0.0.9 flash - Galaxy GT-S5830

Hi everyone,

I'm new so please be gentle with me -

Have just rooted my Galaxy GT-S5830

Running Gingerbread 2.3.4,

Baseband S5830BVKQB,

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf-CL562323root@DELL122#1,

Build number GINGERBREAD.BVKQ9

using the file for the GT-S5830 from here: ( http://dengadgets.blogspot.co.uk/20...e-gt-s5830-android-gingerbread-smarphone.html - root_S5830.zip) successfully, copying it to the root folder of the SD card and flashing it from recovery.

I Then tried to flash CWM 4.0.0.9 using the same method (which I got from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1168417 )

Now when I try and reboot in recovery it crashes at the Galaxy Ace screen, otherwise boots fine - not sure why and am unsure about what to do about it. From reading a fair few Q+A posts I think I might need to flash the phone with stock rom using odin, but:

If I do will that wipe my data?

Is there another way?

How do I avoid getting back in the same mess when flashing CWM?

If I do flash a stock rom / firmware with odin, does it have to be the one that was on there originally [France (Orange)] or can I use the latest UK one (with Gingerbread 2.3.5)? Would putting the French Orange firmware back on re-lock my phone?

I have data on the phone that I really don't want to lose, particularly on memo - backing it up is one of the main reasons why i'm going through this in the first place...

Tried to post on the thread above but have less than 10 posts, so can't - I really apologise if this has been answered many times - i can't find it but would be grateful to anyone that can help / point me in the right direction

Greetings All,

This is a guide on flashing a splash screen on your CID LOCKED G4 devices.

Step:

1. Download the splash screen of your choice in nk.nbf format.

2. Then download the ruu_480 attached here.

3. Place the nk.nbf in the ruu_480 folder and run the "newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe" and press Avanti(means yes).

4. And you are done!!!

Hi all,

I erroneously enabled the first part of the lollipop upgrade on my phone instead of post-poning it. I am now on Android 4.4.2 I545VRUFNK4 baseband version and 3.4.0 Kernel version. This upgrade broke my root access. Is there a way to downgrade and run towelroot again. Any ideas on how to get it back? I've searched and searched and cannot find anything to resolve this. Thanks in advance. -Bluegravy

Ive been running the Hybrid-x ROM for some time. I read an article the other day about how some (or all?) Apps have complete access to your phone. Is there a way (besides uninstalling) to prevent Apps from have free reign on your phone? Too, is there anyone custom ROM that has better security and privacy features than another? Many thanks!

Look up Ap op"s it is a function Google has hidden in the OS.. Essentially it is a permissions manager.... Exposed has a module called Ap op's to enable the function. .

You can disable permissions for applications but be prepared that disabling too many can break the application. . You can always change back and forth experimenting on what restricted permissions work best for any individual application. ..

You can also include some informative things; time, date, weather etc. to the corners maybe.

Different backgrounds option might be a good feature to have.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
@legendnexus

The current version is my "first shot" and for the beginning a good working solution was more important. But yes I also thought about adding some informative things.. Thank you, I will put it on my ToDo-List :)

@harlekinrains

Thank you for your detailed (and merciless^^) feedback:

You are right, the replacement-icon is grap, but I'm not a designer and in a quick way it shows the replacement capability and is better than the original IkonoTV-Icon. I think about a better one ;)

Hiding apps is definetly planed, I add it to my ToDo-List. But at the moment I am not "guessing" which apps the user dont want to see, I simply do not show system apps but only user installed apps (except for kftv-launcher/amazonhome).

I am with you, that look&feel is very important and I try to work on this part :)

Your requirement:

I do not really understand your requirement, do you mean to simply start another app instead of the App but with the same home- and startup-detection? Is this not what AFTV Launcher Helper already does?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
Ok I understand now, perhaps I will add this in future as an option.

For me it feels more attractive to have only one app without huge configuring steps.. For me the most important part is, that also beginners are able to use the App. That is why on the top of my ToDo-list are better installation instructions and possibility to install / keep updated some of the most famous apps from the App directly. So in the end my focus is really the usability espspecially for non-experts. I also think about a little (windows-) installation tool with auto-detection of the FireTV and Wizard-Charakter for the installation of the App. But this all is a lot of work and I dont know when I find the time to..

Anyway I am really happy to hear other's opinion and to get more inspiration by users, thank you again harlekinrains for your constructive feedback :)

BTW: Thanks for your uninstallation hint, perhaps I should also add an uninstallation routine, which cleans up the .imagecache-folder and triggers the the App uninstallation then..

v2.0

Forget what I realeased in v1.0, I am proud to present a completely new way of detecting the home-button-click in v2.0

The XDA-user g4rb4g3 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56319876&postcount=87 pointed me to the right corner of the home-button detection and I think it works brilliant (as long as you keep adb-debugging enabled on the FireTV). As some requested, everything is completely configurable, so you can use my app also to only start your favourite apps.

v2.0

Real Home-Button detection, even double-home-button-clicks are captured

Completely new GUI with settings and additional Infos

Completely configurable actions

Hide-App feature

Hit THANKS button if you like it! :)​
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] dk1keith:
Just tried your app. Works great. Very straightforward.

Thanks for your work
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
Hey harlekinrains, too bad that it is not working on the firetv-stick out of the box. I had no firetv-stick to test, as my sister has it at the moment :D.

Thank you very much for the log's thats very helpful! I think we can rule out the performance of the firetv-stick, as the new way of catching the home-button click via adb is very performant. The only hard-coded timing is the waiting-time for the second click in the double-click detection. The other timings are only to trigger these informative toast messages. I think the reason could be, that on the firetv-stick usb-debugging is not possible? Could that be? That would not be an problem, I only have to change the way I connect to the local adb.

EDIT : Normally it must not be enabled in the settings. On my FireTV it is disabled and everything works perfect. The question was only: Is there a setting for usb-debugging on the FireTV-Stick?

If you have (and really only if you have) the time to, you can chek the following things (I do it on my own as far as I have the time to and have mit FireTV-Stick back):

From the shell of your pc go to the shell of the FireTV-Stick:

adb connect [IP of your FireTV-Stick]
adb shell

Then in the shell on the FireTV-Stick enter the following commands and tell me whats the output:

adb devices
adb logcat -c
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
"All mighty RNG" - I dont get it :crying:

Thank you for the output, I think everything is clear now, the fact that there are by default two devices listed is the problem. I have to change my code to use adb with an explicit device. On my FireTV by default I have only the "emulator.."-entry which let it work without specifiing the adb-device..

Perhaps I can provide an update this afternoon, at the moment I am too busy ;)

Thanks for your quick support! I can confirm that this even works on the Fire TV BOX now! Big Thanks! One of the must have apps.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
Hey harlekinrains, thank you again for your feedback :)

I dont have this behaviour on my FireTV but yes you're right, that sounds like a timing problem. The problem can be, that the new home-button detection method is too fast, which means that the launch of the custom-app is initiated before the launch of the amazon home launcher. Then it can happen, that the amazon launcher cames up instead of the custom selected app.

I can not imagine, that there is a way to prevent the amazon launcher from starting.. Dont know the feature of Fire TV Helper and I also cant jump into the sources, as it is not open source..

Two possibilities:

either I make a litte (customizable) delay for the custom start action (so e.g. the App or FiredTV is started with a little delay after the home-button-detection)

or somebody provides me with the ability to block the amazon-launcher from comming up..
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
I tried a little bit around and let TuneIn-Radio run in the background and then clicked like going wild^^ And infact when I set ES File Explorer as One-Click-Action and repeated clicking very fast single-clicks one after each other, I endend in a curious half-loaded amazon home screen. But a short view in the logcat showed, that not the App made something wrong but ES File Explorer was the reason, as it was in a "wake-lock" situation. Going to FireTV settings and force-stop ES File Explorer get it working again, perhaps thats the behaviour you ment? But thats some kind of monkey-test, I think nobody will switch apps that fast..

Anyway, in the next version I will add adjustable second-click-interval and also an adjustable delay for click-actions, perhaps this helps to prevent these situations..
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
v2.2

New Version with more adjustable settings and an integrated updater mechanism :)

[MENTION=4090599]harlekinrains[/MENTION]

Please check if your problems are solved by a little action-delay (I think something around 50ms should be enough).

@ all

Have fun with the new update

:)

v2.2

Added adjustable double-click interval and action-delay

Reordered settings

When going to app-drawer, first icon is automatically focused (configurable in settings)

Update service (able to update itself)

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] sphinx02:
Hmmm, ok none of this problems on my FireTV, it's hard to solve problems I can not reproduce.. But I have now again a FireTV-Stick of a friend of mine, so perhaps I can reproduce the behaviour on this device. But I guess you have to wait a little bit as I am on a little trip over the weekend.

One question: Are you now using the App (in daily use) or still only install it for testing? Would really feel happy if I got you as an user ;)

Hume Button Settings

First things first....great work....love the clean look of FireStarter-Launcher :good:

my only concern is the action taking, by clicking the HomeButton once.

Is there a chance to get back to the Amazon Home by clicking the HomeButton only one time and not by doubleclicking the homebutton?

I think this part is missing in the settings menu for the HomeButton single click action.....or am i wrong? :silly:

kind regards
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fsi09:
Hey thanks for this Launcher, I really like it :)

I testet FiredTV Launcher too and the only thing that it missing in your app is: please let the app show the settings app so I can start it via your launcher, so i dont have to use the Amazon launcher anymore :D

(With show system apps I cant find the settings app)

v2.3

Hello everybody, back from my WE trip I found a really bad bug in the settings handling which on one hand caused that the action-delay have not been saved and on the other hand also caused unnessecary cpu-load. I fixed that bug and another bug with show-sys-apps setting. I also tested the App on a FireTV-Stick and it worked quite good. With the now working action-delay setting, I got very good results by leaving the double-click interval default and setting the action-delay to 100ms. But also with the default 10ms I had never one of theses half-amazon-home, half-app-screens.. Perhaps its also depended on what else is installed or running on the stick, I will keep an eye on it..

Thank you all for your feedback and have fun with the new bugfix-release which can be updated in-app via the updater-mechanism ;)

v2.3

Fixed ugly bug in settings (kind of endless loop), which caused huge cpu-load and weird behaviour of settings storage.

Fixed bug when sysapp were set visible and apps were reordered, sysapps were not hided again on settings change.

Allow greater double-click interval and action delay (up to 1000ms).

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] trademarc9:
As with many others in this thread, I'm very happy that I can use this home screen in lieu of Amazon's. That said, I had two questions/suggestions.

1. With regards to adding the ability to change the text color, I was wondering if it might be prudent to try to add a shadow to the font or otherwise use a font that already has a shadow. The gray text under the icons is being eaten up by my gray background.

2. When I use the long press of the home button to put my Fire TV to sleep, it causes the device to revert to the Amazon home menu when I wake it up. I can then hit the home button to get back to FireStarter, but I wish I didn't have to take that step.

Thanks again!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] eXOBeX:
I've got another nice-to-have for the next version: when three-lines-clicking on an icon to get the Move and App Settings options, the internal name of the app (e.g. org.xbmc.kodi, de.belu.firestarter) might be handy to have, I find these names useful useful when scripting the uninstall of yet another Movie HD that's had an internal name change.
