[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicelad_uk:
I there, hoping someone can help me with this strange problem...

I have a Dutch Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and when on 5.0.2 I was getting notification badges on the whatsapp icon with no problems. I decided to upgrade to the 5.1.1 UK version the other day and noticed afterwards the icon was stuck on 6 unread notifications (I had 6 unread, but it stayed there even after reading them).

To remove the 6 unread, I did a factory reset and this worked, but I don't get any unread count now on WhatsApp.

Has anyone else had the problem since upgrading to 5.1.1 or is it just me?

Thanks

Is it possible to copy all the files on the phone to my computer, and then transfer them back in the event I have to reflash fireOS (and reroot)? I don't just mean apps, but a perfect copy (or close).

If so, how would I do this with the least hassle?

Thanks.

I already posted this question in another thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226030&page=4

But I think I'll get some more attention this way. I was trying to save this board some space by posting in a preexisting topic, but that might have been a poor decision on my part.

The message will be a copy-paste with some minor tweaks to make it more understandable:

Hello. First time poster here. My phone is Samsung GT-S5570i and I have some problems with it. I couldn't get the solution in the other topic to work.

Long story short: My phone is soft bricked (apparently) and I can't do anything to it via Odin due to the phone not being able to connect via USB (it can charge, though).

Long story... Long: My problems with this phone have persisted for a long time now. The biggest drawback is that the phone cannot connect to anything via USB cable, but it can still charge from it. Yesterday I received an error message from my PC while trying to connect this (soft bricked) phone to it: It could not recognize the phone because of an error in the way the phone is operating. I tried to connect my phone to the PC because I was trying to free up some space from my phone's internal memory to update Whatsapp. I tried deleting Voice Search, but while deleting it, the phone booted by itself. I then went to see what happened in the application list (only to notice that there was less free space), then my phone froze (after throwing three different error messages about processes not running properly). It became completely unresponsive and I had to pull the battery to boot it. Now it's stuck in an infinite loop of the boot screen and the starting animation. I can access the download and "Home + up + power" menus, but my phone keeps telling me it can't mount /data when I try to restart it from those menus. I'm completely reliant on getting it to work through the phone's SDCard due to the issue with not being able to connect via USB.

This update had an error in it when the phone tried to install it (status 7, or something like that): http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2226024

I managed to get this to work: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2225994

But it didn't really do me any good.

So what do I do now? Is there some fix to the phone's USB port I can apply via SDCard? Can I just install some firmware via the SDCard directly without using "outside" programs? Am I eternally screwed with this phone? I have tried everything I could find so far, but almost all the options require the use of Odin, which I can't do thanks to the malfunctioning USB port.

Sorry for the long post. Thank you for any replies.

PS: I tried the factory reset and it claimed it had wiped the data and the cache from the phone, but the restart still couldn't mount data.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRick64x:
I am definitely a noob. I searched all over to find ways to root. Most methods involved using the Kindle Fire Utility, but user comments and the lack of responses they got scared me off. I tried using Key Root Master (MOD version), it worked, and I indeed do have root. This is verified with Root Checker Basic, and I was able to get and use Google Play store on my KF. The problem is, for some of the apps I want, IE: Greenify, I need a different version of Android. It appears that in order to get a custom ROM on it, I need to have TWRP, but everything I read says that in order to get that, I need to root using Kindle Fire Utility, and I need FireFireFire. This is where I am lost. I am not sure what to do now. Can I use a different root method now that I am already rooted? This is all very confusing, but I am trying to learn.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRick64x:
Okay, thank you for your response. I just want to be clear though. I clicked on your link, and now since my KF is rooted, I can just go ahead and begin by downloading fbmode and the steps thereafter? No need to root again using saferoot?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Root is root, proceed with Flashing FFF and TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRick64x:
The tutorial is straightforward, and very well done. I thank you. Unfortunately, when I entered adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp into command prompt, it said Daemon not running starting it now...then Daemon started successfully...then...error: device not found. I looked in device manager and Kindle Fire is listed as Amazon Kindle USB Device under disk drives, as well as just Kindle under Other Devices with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It continues to tell me Device not found under command prompt. Can you tell me what is wrong?

I have gone through installation of the ROM and Kindle fire is working fine, But as you mentioned above there is only 80MB RAM available at any given point of time. is possible to go to ROM of JB/ICS which will occupy the less RAM space?

HI,

I am using the cm-11-20150824-NIGHTLY-otterx ROM , It's working fine thought kindle is little slow. Out of a blue, today it's not even starting, I have pressed power button more than 20 sec, no luck, I have charged it for an half an hour no response at all, Is there anyway I can make it start. If i am charging the power button is not glowing too.

I removed the otterx twrp 2.7.1.0 from the downloads, it wasn't supposed to be in that list.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRick64x:
Well, it looks like I frigged everything up. I wanted to restore the data I had prior to installing CM11, but TWRP didn't see the backup I had made with another version of TWRP. It was in there though when I looked in the file folders.

I took a suggestion I read on the internet to make a new back up, then replace the data in there with the data from the old backup so TWRP would see the folder. Everything looked like it was working until it said the backup failed.

Now when I reboot, it looks like CM11 is trying to load, but then I get a screen that says "Encryption Unsuccessful. Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your tablet is no longer accessible. To resume using your tablet, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account."

There is a button on the lower right that says reset tablet. I press that, and it goes into Open Recovery Script. It does something, then tries to reboot into CM11 but brings me right back to the Encryption Unsuccessful page.

I have tried booting into recovery, and doing a factory wipe, . It tells me that the factory wipe was successful. I then try to reboot and it takes me again to the Encryption Unsuccessful page. I have tried doing a factory reset and reinstalling CM11 as well as the Gapps , wiping the cache/Dalvic, and it appears successful but again when it reboots, it takes me to the Encryption Unsuccessful page. The only thing I haven't tried is Advanced wipe because I don't know what I should or should not check. I wouldn't want to delete the CM11/Gapps files.

I really messed things up, and I should have left well enough alone. Is there anything you can think of to help me out?

Don't restore data from one rom twrp backup onto another, you will have issues.

did you rename or move it?
