Dropped my phone the other day, now the top 1/5 of the phone's screen does not respond to touch.

Did diagnostic test (*#*#3424#*#*) confirmed this.

I know I should probably run down to the service centre to get it fixed but my warranty's expired and they charge absurd rates.

Any ideas on how to solve this?:confused:

Hey guys,

my girlfriend is owner of a Kindle Fire HD (kfsowi) i wish to root it, cause we wanna use our chromecast and google play.

I rooted some devices before and it worked like a charming for me. Sadly I didn't found anything about routing the actuall version 4.5.5.

I did a fastboot cable by myself and it works, the kindle goes into it.

Thanks a lot

Anyone know what that means when doing an esn check, the results show the device as LG-H811LB tmobile_sample. Person obtatianed it via some lg partner purchase program.

When checking on tmobile site results come back as unrecognized.

Will this phone work as normal? Since its not recognized by tmobole, can it still be sim unlocked via app?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waylo:
I believe LG has a provider program where employees can purchase a LG phone for $250. A great deal, especially when said employees can then turn around and sell it for $200+ profit. There was a thread here about it. I believe these are purchased outright and should not be blacklisted for payment plan non-payment.

Apparently those phones are not officially registered in T-Mob's system. Not sure how that will affect SIM unlock, there are also a few threads about people not being able to easily SIM unlock permanently through T-Mobile to begin with. There were some reports that 'sunderwear' unlock does work, albeit for $$$.

I love that my Wizard's phone radio won't shut off even when the battery is at 1%. It's been that way on all different roms wm5 and wm6. It gives me extra time. I hate that my Tytn and BlackJack will shut off my phone radio when it thinks the battery is too low.

Does the Kaiser shut off it's radio? I hope not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lssong99:
I had been using my Kaiser to browse the Internet thru 3G data until it has 1% of battery. So I don't think Kaiser will shutdown Radio when Battery is critical.

Maybe wheb idle the case may be different, However I constant run into battery has less than 5% situation and everything still works. (I am a super heavy user)

Hi,

I have a galaxy s4 GT-i9505 and it just stopped working.

I have no information on the software on it because I can't even get acces too it's boot or recoverymode.

I tried all the possible button combinations, (Power, volume up, down, home button) even bought a new battery but nothing.

Sometimes it vibrates and flashes the samsung logo for a second and that is all the life I get out of it.

I know hoow to use Odin but for me to be able to do so I need acces to the Phone and that isn't going to happen, I'm afraid.

Can someone help me on how to get into the boot so I can fix my software?

(Sorry about the spelling errors, but it's not my native language)

[XDA Assist] TrustInSin:
But because for so long the bootloader seemed unlockable, and because when they finally did get it unlocked, it was with a device that was almost 200$, there was a complete lack of development on this particular device once it was given the 4.4.2 upgrade. Over the course of a year, I have found many things about the tablet that I have been unable to find out on my own to get into.

I found that the tab 3 lte was actually designed as a really big phone, but the dialer, phone and dialer storage were blocked by AT&T, so even with a sim chip, the tablet just will not function as a phone without getting a VOIP app, and I really shouldnt have to considering that I have a perfectly good phablet capable of actual phone calls. I dont know how to use terminal emulator very well, or if the language changes drastically between versions of Android.

I was also wondering if it was actually possible to unlock the bootloader from Terminal emulator now that I have full root.

Is there a way of finding out if my current stock rom is one of those that have the SO- attached to the system folders so that I cant write anything to the system folders without reverting to out of the box system restore. And lastly, I was wondering if there was ever any custom recovery that was made for this device that would be usable now, considering that when the device came out it was on Jellybean, not kitkat. If anyone could help me I would be greatly appreciative. I know it sounds like a lot of work for a tablet , but I am not exactly overflowing with money to go and buy a new one. This was a gift and I just want to try to avoid bricking it when I just now finally got the damned things rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Ace 4] nomegustaa:
hi guys, ive soft rooted my galaxy ace 4, I thn downloaded rom toolbox lite then found a cool button that said pixel density then I put tht up to max thinking it would be a good idea but now I cant get into my phone and would like to either factory reset or just change that setting back somehow, I'm a somewhat noob with basic root and device knowledge so please excuse me if I do not comprehend, my device powers on fine and everthing its when it fully on that I get a notification saying, "unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped, and my resolution is way too big, is there an easy way to factory reset even though I cant get into the phone to change setting, it connects to my pc but adb says the device is unauthorized see dialog box, so I'm out of ideas, if someone can help before 11th august (I'm going on holiday) then that would be amazing!

thanks everyone!

btw I don't have twrp or cwm cuz I didn't install them I'm dumb ik,

also if there is a way to factory reset easily from pc or anything, like if I hold the power and volume it should put me in bootloader but it says warning installing a custom rom could be dangerous don't remove target.

please help

You can install twrp or cwm with odin and from there do a Factory Reset. I don't have the files. But you can search them.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
Hi Guys,

I have been reading and trying this for two weeks now and Im lost still. Never had an issue where I just couldnt figure it out now i need to ask for some help. I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7 ITS BEEN ROOTED AND USED FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW WITH NO ISSUES. I decided to upgraade the ROM and installed the wrong version (apollo) how I done that is becide me, anyway now Im stuck in bootloop grey kindlefire screen. I do have ADB working whoever it is in a loop state so I have to be quick to insert commands. My bootloader is locked so im limited. I also am able to get into Fastboot and it works and also verified the device is locked. I have my download size 0x20000000 and I have my manfid 0x000045 and my device serial 0xf0bf7e1d . I just cant get the img created correctly or size correct c

would someone help me with the file creating and flashing procedure in fastboot to get my device working again? Im pure crosseyed at this point and about to use the Kindle as a Target at the range lol.

Thanks to anyone that can help
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Which Fire OS version is on your HDX? The wrong Apollo version? Note that bootloader unlock is possible from 3.1.0 to 3.2.3.2 only.

The bootloader unlock procedure ist described here (might require these drivers). Note that you have to install the software mentioned, download the script and use it with your ID and serial to create the .unlock file.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
is there a commant in ADB or Fastboot that will tell me the OS Version?

iv got the product THOR

getvar version 0.5

Kernal 1K

getvar production 1

GETVAR MAX DOWNLOAD 0X20000000
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
I don't know, I'd hoped you'd still have the Apollo update file you flashed - it should have the version number right there in its file name.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
ill check for the file but my issue now is the steps in Python27 for creating a file , i created but wrong size wrong number that kind of issue. Was hoping I could get someone to do a step by step in order using the cuberHDX.py
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Well, if you don't have 3.1.0 - 3.2.3.2 it doesn't make any sense anyway, but ...

it's easier than you think. ;)

You open a DOS box, change dir to your ADB directory (enter cd\adb) then enter the following commands:

adb shell

cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/manfid

cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/serial

then open another DOS box, change dir to your Python Directory with the .py script (enter cd\python27 or whatever the path of your Python directory is), then

python.exe cuberHDX.py 0xmmssssssss

with mm being the last two digits of your ID, and the ssssssss being your serial, the script should create the .unlock file then.

So assuming the numbers you mentioned are correct the python command would be

python.exe cuberHDX.py 0x45f0bf7e1d

Copy/move the .unlock file to your ADB directory then, open another DOS box for the adb reboot-bootloader command, and yet another DOS box for the fastboot commands (change dir cd\adb both times before you enter the adb & fastboot commands):

fastboot -i 0x1949 devices

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock 0xmmssssssss.unlock

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

thanks for the help, Well I guess I have been doing this correctly the whole time. Still getting Unload code not correct in fastboot, so apparently I have the noncapadible bootloader.

is there anything I can do with it besides taking it to the range for target practice?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Difficult to say, but it doesn't look good.

Did you figure out which Apollo update you flashed? Did you have Safestrap installed (probably not)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
apollo-nexus-rom-v2.0.5.zip yep the apollo version and it clearly says not to install with safstrap its a target now i just hate the fact that I have access to the bootloader but cant do anything with it
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
¡Ay caramba!

It says not for Safestrap, because it says "This is for users with TWRP installed." in the introduction. Do you have TWRP installed? That would help of course. How did you flash the Apollo ROM anyway?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
yes I do have TWRP installed,I used it to install the zip file
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Then start TWRP (press and hold Volume up and Power On, release when the Kindle Fire logo appears on the screen), connect the HDX to your PC, download the Thor ROM, copy it to the HDX, and flash it in TWRP.

Kinda weird though you can not unlock the bootloader. You sure you have the real TWRP installed?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
What do you mean the file size is 536870912? The file size of the .unlock file should be 256 bytes.

Did you install all software mentioned in the unlock thread, i.e. Python 2.7 and GMPY2 for Python 2.7?

Well I get the same result when I used your file.. Darn but thanks again for your help.

This is how it reads when I try to flash the unlock file:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'unlock' (0 KB)...

OKAY { 0.078s }

writing 'unlock'...

FAILED (remote unlock code is not correct)

finished. total time: 0.14s

THIS DAMN THING IS ABOUT TO BECOME A TARGET LOL
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Something is not right (obviously). It seems you are getting extraneous rubbish in the data stream. To be clear you are issuing the following commands from Windows with the file Cl4ncy provided (renamed as instructed) in the folder where Minimal ADB and Fastboot is installed:

fastboot -i 0x1949 devices

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock 0x45f0bf7e1d.unlock

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

If the above checks out try a different usb cable. Long shot idea but you would be amazed how many times bizarre behavior can be traced to a crappy cable. If that doesn't work you may want to try a different host. The excessive byte count is a red flag waving. No conclusions can be drawn until that is resolved (or your frustration level gets to the point where the Kindle ends up as a target).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
Yes just that way
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Please ensure the file size of the .unlock.rar you downloaded is 256 bytes. If not, re-download it.

I'm not sure what happens, I hope the 536 MB file wasn't flashed somehow somewhere in your HDX, that could've f'ed it up beyond the point of no return. :?:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
Yes the file I downloaded is 256bytes, It seems that the kindle knows its 0x20000000 but in a defence it sees 536mb I have no idea but I do like messing with this .

If I wanted to edit the file code, I there a program that I could use to do that? I know I used to use like Norton Commander years ago to mess with software. I just want play with the code and see what happens.

Thanks again for your help Pal......
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Well, 0x20000000hex = 536870912dec, that's it. But that has nothing to do with the other things happening, I mean how can the .unlock file be that huge?

Anyhow, I don't know what you mean by edit the file code? A free hex editor is HxD.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I'd advise against messing with the .unlock file in a hex editor. Generally invalid/damaged files are simply rejected (as you discovered). Results are unpredictable if the contents become altered in an unexpected manner. I understand your device is useless in its current state but I see no benefit in tweaking the .unlock file unless it simply to satisfy curiosity before hauling it off to the range.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
Yeah thats the program I couldnt remember.. Man geting old suxxs lol anyway if ya come up with any other ideas feel free to reply and thanks again for your help....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
I'm still not sure what's happening here, can flashing an Apollo ROM really destroy TWRP?

So the question is, what status your HDX had before you flashed the wrong ROM? You're 100% sure you had the REAL (!) TWRP installed, not Safestrap v3.7x or v4 (which is based on TWRP and mentions it on top of its screen, but is far away from being as powerfull as the real TWRP)?

And do you have access to another PC? You'd just need minimal ADB & fastboot, and the .unlock file I posted above to try it. Another USB port & cable (already suggested by Davey126) would be worth a try as well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
Yes I had the skinney little dude on startup recovery or reboot at first .I had TWRP later anyway I tried on three different pc's same results...

Oh well I guess ill just put it on a shelf and maybe one day beat the damn thing lol.... thanks for all your help.......
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
The little dude IS Safestrap! So you DON'T have TWRP, locked bootloader and no access to recovery - your HDX seems to be done - sorry.

Have a blast on the shooting range.

EDIT:

Ok, you edited your post, I understand it this way:

You had Safestrap v3.7x, removed it, installed TWRP.

Then I don't get why flashing an Apollo ROM should've destroyed TWRP. Safestrap I could understand, but TWRP should be safe in the revovery partition, shouldn't it? :confused:

You sure you tried to enter TWRP correctly at power on? Press and hold volume up, then press and hold power on, continue to hold both until the grey Kindle Fire logo appears on screen, let go of both buttons then (continue to hold them would reset the HDX over and over again, i.e. lead to a bootloop) - what happens?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bowman1966:
It comes up in Fastboot only. In the beginning it was stuck in a bootloop ,now just goes into Fastboot Ready... I killed it

Isnt there a procedure to unlock the bootloader at the componant leval? Seems like I read that somewhere during this adventure....
