[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Are you saying "adb reboot recovery" doesn't boot you into recovery or that once in recovery adb commands don't work. If you're booting into stock recovery, that seems to be how it works.

If you can't get into recovery with the generic drivers, I swear by Google Galaxy Nexus from Koush's Universal Android package. Someone recommended the HTC dream driver.

EDIT: I see the prob. Wouldn't be able to issue "adb sideload" would you? Sorry, not much help. :(

Correction

Thanks for pasting that, I originally posted it in the specific thread I was trying to duplicate then realized it was a driver issue and more Q/A related. The fix for my problem was checking the driver setting at each step of Adb on 1st initation. Simple fix but threw me off a bit..

Thanks for the quick reply
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
So I'm seeing this exact issue. (As you said in other thread, adb devices returns device id, then in recovery it doesn't.) Can you clarify "first initiation"? I've had these drivers installed for months. You just updated, checking driver setting in device mgr? thx

[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
ok, by "sideboard," I'm guessing you mean sideload, but figure you must mean recovery :D Anyway, thanks!

I think I see problem. I saw this post over here in Q&A, not as part of your upgrade to 5/downgrade to 4.5.3 guide. So, I'm trying this on 4.5.3(!) which doesn't have any "Apply update from ADB" option. When OP said he was able to fix drivers so he could give adb command from recovery, I thought he meant on 4.5.3 and wondered why I couldn't do that.

Makes perfect sense that adb wouldn't recognize a 4.5.3 device in recovery, where it's basically turned off while waiting for a manual reboot or reset. (Eagerly awaiting method to preserve root through 5.0 upgrade :) ) Ah, well . . .
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:
Lol yes I mean sideload. Dumb auto correct. I say sideload instead of recovery because recovery alone has no adb access. Adb is only activated whenever you put it in sideload mode
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Ah. . . now i get it. Thanks!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limitedxj:
Looper,

In cme, using adb devices I was able to see the fire, when typing adb reboot recovery, then adb devices I could no longer cme find the tablet. Well sideload was not going to happen till I could see it again, even tho the tablet was on the recovery prompts. The fix was just checking the driver in device manager after doing the reboot recovery prompt.. Added adb composite to that and then I could find the tablet again, I then sideloaded fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daveyian:
Hi,

I suffered with the S5 I got for a year with terrible camera performance.

I just got a replacement from att and the camera is how mine should have been for that whole year, cool.

Unfortunately, the replacement is pre loaded with 5.x and OC4 baseband.

I've been a dedicated rooter for at least 5 years but I felt like I wasn't missing as much as I thought I would without root.

Except GPS absolutely does not work on this replacement S5, I never get a fix.

I've tried a few apps that see 20 plus satellites but never a fix.

I've read that lollipop GPS has issue with numerous devices but I want to see if replacing this particular phone might be worth the effort.

So does anyone use GPS and it works with att S5 running lollipop?

I think I saw that there is maybe a newer baseband? Is there anything I can odin to this phone that may help?

I'm a little nervous about taking chances at this point, I only have this phone for internet so when I get stuck and have to find solutions and files it gets pretty stressful. Having the files to recover at the start would be good in that case, do we have a guide to flashing stock 5.x, can that even be done after OC4?

One last thing, I'm really bummed that I have to constantly deal with something because a company puts out unready or untested hardware/software.

I spent forever trying to get the S1 GPS to work, and a year missing good photos with my S5.

My S3 was pretty good but it won't charge anymore.

The S5 is a great phone when it works.

Thanks for any help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daveyian:
Thanks for the reports.

I'm going to see if tightening the few screws this phone has might help like it did for some with the S3, I have to find a 000 Phillips.

If that does nothing then I will return the phone again.

It does seem that some devices with Lollipop are reported to have GPS issues related to software, note3? So it's good to hear that your S5s are working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daveyian:

I got another replacement phone and GPS is good!

I'm not sure if I mentioned how bad the battery was, I'll see how it goes with this new one.

[Sprint LG G2] rebelx:
After updating to Lollipop, my G2 no longer fast charges in the car. Normally, with regular use (GPS, bluetooth streaming), I can charge slowly at 2.1amps with screen brightness around 75%. If I start my commute with 50%, I'll likely end my drive around 70% with such use.

Nowadays, post-Lollipop, if I start at 50%, I'll end up anywhere between 45-55% at the end of my drive.

I've also noticed that with respect to multitasking, if I'm using Waze or Google Maps, and I change focus to another app, I'll likely lose my current navigation and have to re-enter in the information and begin again.

I know GPS has been screwed up a bit (I've had more "no GPS signal found" error messages since upgrading than in the previous 1.5 years with this phone), but it shouldn't necessarily disconnect my navigation, right? If/when I lose GPS signal for a little bit when Waze/Google Maps is my primary in-focus app, it doesn't disconnect my navigation.

Any ideas or suggestions?

The only difference that I can think besides the Lollipop update is that I'm now rooted, but that was for the sole purpose of being able to contact my apps/texts/etc when I did a clean restore after upgrading to Lollipop. I have no actual rooted apps or any custom ROMs.

OK I have a major problem. My phones touchscreen is becoming unresponsive when I lock my phone for 1 min or more. When I unlock it to use it, the phone becomes unresponsive because it was locked for a while. To temporarily fix the problem I have to lock the screen for 3 seconds then unlock it again for the screen to start working. Once it's start working I have no problems until I lock the screen again without using it for a while again. This is soo irritating. I tried everything, factory resetting, reflashing over n over again, but the problem still persists. I am wondering if it's the TWRP causing this becuase it becomes unresponsive there a few times when am in the TWRP menu. I know its not a hardware problem because the phone was working well before I flashed TWRP on to it and start using custom roms. also it only works after lthe phone is locked then unlocked. A couple times the screen becomes unresponsive while watching videos on the internet, but the navigation touch buttons still works while all the other parts of the screen doesn't work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasW:
So I've been having a ton of issues with my phone lately, to the point I can't use it anymore. I'll list them in case they may show what the problem is. First, the charging port went out. I swapped out for a new flex cable on ebay and all was well again. Next the speaker stopped working unless I would squeeze the bottom of the phone, and then stopped working completely (Not sure if this was the speaker itself or if it was making poor contact with the new flex cable.).

Up next, and the worst problem of all, is the screen stopped working intermittently. I seemed to be able to get it working better when I would squeeze the phone, which seemed strange to me. This kept happening until it stopped working altogether!

So, thinking it was the flex cable, I just swapped it for another new one from a different seller, and it still isn't working. If I reboot the phone the screen works perfectly fine unless I put light pressure on the back of the above the "s" in nexus, then the screen shuts off and won't come back on again until I restart the phone again. As soon as I reboot the phone the screen works great again until I tap that spot.

I'm a bit at a loss to what I should be looking for, or what I need to replace? Is there some sort of short? Is a connection poorly made? It's a brand new flex cable and the old one seemed to be doing the same, and I've double checked the connections and they seem to be fine.

If you have any ideas, I'm all ears, just about to tear apart the phone to check where it might be making shorts around that area! Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasW:
Seemed to be an issue with the flex cable connecter to the motherboard. When I added pressure to the connector the screen would work, as I let off pressure the screen quit. I ended up adding a few layers of electrical tape to the back of the connector so when I put the backplate housing and cover back on it would add some pressure. Seems to be working great now (knock on wood).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blacksmith5:
Thats a common experience you had. The connection between the USB cable and the motherboard for some reason can go bad. I suspect overheating may be the primary cause. The careful placement of double stick electrica tape appears to help fix this problem. I had to do it myself. The speaker not working can be caused by poor connection to the USB flex cable. There is an excellent youtube by "LE55ONS" on the disassembly/assembley which shows everything in great detail. It's worth a look.

Glad you got everything working

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
The 'classic' 3.2.8 rollback method has reportedly worked for some. There does not appear to be any harm in trying; your device will either accept/recognize the file or not. Obviously follow all the usual cautions if you are successful (eg: keep WiFi off at all times!).

I highly doubt Amazon is addressing the rollback issue. Why would they do that? The tech had a good laugh at your expense. Best path (aside from attempting a 3.2.8 rollback) is to enjoy or shelve your device until a root exploit becomes available for 4.5.4. You will need to keep it off the network as Amazon will undoubtedly push new updates that will be root resistant. And no - there is no known (or at least well communicated) way to root 4.5.4 as of now.
