Help installing original frimware.

Hey I ran the root method here for my 5th Gen Fire.

And something is wrong with the SuperSU, it does not grant access, i cannot uninstall it, it just sits on my root doing nothing. I would love to uninstall it and try to get a proper working version going, but I cant figure out how to.

I try following Awesomeslayergs method but im getting stuck here:

4. Select "adb sideload" or whatever it says using your volume keys and press the power to select

5. Now adb sideload <frimware>.bin

I am able to get to Adb Sideload, but I am stuck on how to get the frimware loaded, is this with my computer with fast boot, can someone please explain to me clearer on how to do this, will I need to be running a CMD on my computer?

Please help, anything that point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

[Fire General] fractalgrinder:
Thanks but I figured it out, thanks to some of your posts and Awesome's, you guys are really cool for doing all this and helping all of us out, my advice to anyone doing this for the first time with a Fire 5th gen is, make sure the driver on your CPU for your Fire is ADB, both when it is regularlly plugged in as well as in recovery/flashboot.

Hi, any way to install the kindle app google playstore version??
[Fire General] shimp208:
You should be able to sideload the apk file and install it with a file manager application or adb using the install command :).

[Fire General] amaramar2000:
Thanks for this guide. However, when i boot into fastboot mode, my commands do nothing an CMD is stuck on 'waiting for device'. Are there extra drivers i need, or is there another problem?

Also when i am in fastboot mode, my device is listed as 'Android Bootloader Interface' and when I select it, it says; Code 10 Device can't start.

Please help, I really need to flash a backup as my device is being really buggy.

Thanks in advance.

I still can't get the adb drivers to show up when trying to update them. Please, it's been over a month, what do I do?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
use a different pc
[Fire General] terkrockerfeller:
Ok, I'm on a new PC that had nothing adb or android or anything on it before. Ran the 15 second adb tool, downloaded and installed the kindle fire and kindle hd drivers, booted into recovery and went to manually update drivers, still nothing shows up. No android drivers are on the list. What now?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
which recovery?
[Fire General] terkrockerfeller:
stock amazon recovery. I had adb enabled before it was bricked
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Select apply update from adb
[Fire General] terkrockerfeller:
I did, but then when I go to computer > manage > device manager to install the drivers for KFFOWI they don't show up

reboot pc?
[Fire General] falkonn00:
Android [Composite] ADB Interface - never shows up

I'm not sure why, but Windows 10 Pro x64 never would show either "Android ADB Interface" or "Android Composite ADB Interface. In the normal OS boot, it shows "Portable Devices -> Fire" under Device Manager. When the device has entered Recovery, nothing shows in the Device Manager at all... but ADB commands work fine. In this entire root process, drivers were by far the biggest pain to install.

I tried to upload screenshots of this, but I'm not allowed to post images nor am I allowed to quote images from a previous post.

I was able to successfully downgrade from 5.1.3 > 5.1.2 then obtain root, install Play store, block OTA updates, and change the default Launcher.

Granted, this is after bricking a previous tablet after "successfully" sideloading 5.1.2, but never being able to boot the device again (neither logo nor recovery worked, nor was the device recognized in Win10 or Ubuntu16.04).
[Fire General] DJ_FrozenDoctor:
Does this work on 5.3.2.1?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Required drivers have not changed
[Fire General] DJ_FrozenDoctor:
Does the root method work though?

[Elephone P8000] therealtry:
Hey people, I was wondering if anyone has had the faulty headphones issue. After a few days, my headphones stopped working properly, there was a lot of static and they need to be pushed and held towards the screen to function again. This is going on with 3 pairs so it's a phone fault.Maybe all the tech savvy experts here can chime in and propose something.

Thanks!
[Elephone P8000] shadowseed:
I have the exact same issue since yesterday... I already tried to clean the headphone jack with no effect so far.

I will unscrew the device and have a closer look at the headphone jack when I find time. Probably not today.
[Elephone P8000] therealtry:
I was thinking of taking it to a local repair shop around here in the weekend. Whoever finds a solution first I guess. Also I have noticed this visi0nary. de/ ?p=30 (I can't post links yet). I think it looks similar
[Elephone P8000] shadowseed:
Sadly it's not the same problem visi0nary describes on his blog. The Mass contact is fine.

I had the phone open for a few minutes and it seems like all contact wrap thight around the plug. I guess the problem is a broken soldered point at the back of the circuit board.

I had no time to remove the board completly and check the back.

Maybe you can ask your repair shop guy what he did to fix it? Thanks.
[Elephone P8000] therealtry:
Hey shadowseed,

I took it to a couple of guys in downtown Athens and none said they wanna take a look at an Elephone. And these were techie Asian guys lol. Let me know if you find anything via pm or through here. Thanks. I'll keep looking myself otherwise I'll buy bluetooth headphones.
[Elephone P8000] shadowseed:
the problem with bluetooth headphones is that Elephone set the Bluetooth A2DP Bitpool to 35 (basically means compressed data = better range and quicker transfer rate ) which results in terrible sound quality over Bluetooth audio.

I'm not an audiophile but I can't listen to music over bluetooth in my car like I used to with my previous device, it sounds horrible.

This is a software issue but it can't be fixed with a root app or something like this, it's set in the bluetooth drivers. There is a setting under "Sounds & Notifications" called "Lossless BT-Mode", but it does nothing... or not enough, I'm not sure. The Bitpool needs to be raised to 52 or higher for "lossless" mp3 playback.

I wouldn't have bought this phone if I had known this...

UPDATE: I fixed it. This soldering point broke. I didn't solder it, I put a piece of cardboard under the circuit board which presses against the shell. I did this yesterday in the afternoon and used it multiple times since then, it seems to work great.
[Elephone P8000] tiltkoko83:
Put some solder on every point now. That fixed the problems for me, looked like there was no solder there.
[Elephone P8000] jim.cat:
Same on my phone >.< seems that the headphone jack has been horribly designed/built then! :(
[Elephone P8000] tiltkoko83:
The design is excellent, but there are multiple points with no solder on top, just glued or something. That can obviously not work in the long term.. The fix is very easy if you have a soldering iron, you don't need precision tools.
[Elephone P8000] diegojacura:
Hello

I have the same problem. I've bought it a few days ago (it has not one month).

What can I do? This phone is warranted?

Thanks,

[Elephone P8000] m4r10o:
Could you please give us a detailed tutorial on how to open up the elephone?

I've tried it today (got the same problem) and failed on removing the white case from the fingerprint scanner.
[Elephone P8000] Baron1971:
You can see here: KlickKlack
[Elephone P8000] m4r10o:
I've tried soldering the points today and the connection seems more stable for now.

No more bzzing in idle when using headphones (Teufel Aureol), but the quality still sounds like some bad compressed mp3.

Pushing the plug (display frontfacing) to the back left seems to fix the problem.

I've tried putting cardboard between the 3.5mm port and the casing of the phone but no luck.

When using in-ears (some cheap philips) there is still a semi-loud bzzing in the backgroud and since the cable goes sideways there is no way of getting a stable connction.

Did I do faulty soldering or might I've broken the port with the soldering iron?

thanks for the solutions

[Elephone P8000] schakalakka:
I had the problem that the right in ear speaker didn't work but the left one was okay. But after some time even the left got worse and wasn't usable anymore.

Then I opened the Elephone and soldered the parts of the audio jack (like in the picture above).

It improved the audio quality but it still works only for the left speaker. How do I get both working?
[Elephone P8000] Romeo76:
I'm facing the same issue, soldered all the contacts and then only left is working.

Did you solve this?
[Elephone P8000] schakalakka:
Unfortunately it is still the same. :(
[Elephone P8000] ircookie:
Well looks like im sticking to bluetooth headphones, was hoping someone would confirm the soldering would fix it.
[Elephone P8000] jokespot:
Five months in and no my headphone jack is broken. I use it a lot so if I can't fix I'm gonna have to look for a new phone (not Elephone). Gonna check the soldering today and try to fix that if it's the issue.

Edit: did some soldering work, but nothing.
[Elephone P8000] thundermuppet:
I thought the same but it was the solder. Got a better iron and a magnifying glass.
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
Do you have problems with bluetooth headphones?

When I am listening to music the music stutters skips and changes speed from time to time and my Elephone and headphones are just 1M away :/
[Elephone P8000] chrisl300:
I have the same problem. Headphone socket broken, switched to bluetooth headphones but need to keep the phone in my breast pocket to get a good connection. Put it in my hip pocket and it stutters.
[Elephone P8000] AsterixLA:
Yes it is problem with bad soldering of connectors. I just fixed it, but this is not for everyone. If you don't do this carefully you can broke your phone connectors.
[Elephone P8000] jdobry:
Hi, I has similar issue as described in this thread. But I have also broken PCB line for right audio channel. Solution is similar, but it need expert soldering skills and small piece of bonding wire. This wire replace original connection from connector to capacitors in signal path. See to attachment.

[Elephone P8000] amperio666:
Hello, I am one who has had the same problema.Solo worked the jack if the phone screen frenta you what obligabas in the same direction.

Home funcionando.Esta clear solution and that is a problem of welding of the contacts.

I disassemble battery casing, intermediate casing is ahead, and you'll see the black tab mic input having 4 welds, rectangular and black.

headset, and connect seguiras having the same problema.Apalanca slightly up from the bottom of the (opposite side of where you put the jack) tab with a flathead screwdriver Watchmaker (which is small) and it is normal that can you solve the problem as was my case.

If you can take a drop of hot glue to stay better, I have not missed anything and still works.

I gather it is a problem to bring the phone to the jack in the cold welding bolsillo.y releases the pin, which at slightly lifting force returns to make connection.

I remind you that this is your decision and I will not complain if you cargais the entire connector.

Hi guys. I know there are a few sound mods for our Z2, but those mods don't affect the quality, just increasing the volume and making notifications sound stereo.

Hi!

My uni's hinge got really loose and shaky and i was bloody frustrated all these days. Though i'd taken it apart so many times and tightened the hinge, it didnt make a difference....until today :D

I opened it up, pulled the side clip-ons out (the two pieces with the status LEDs for btooth & radio) and did this -

The bluetooth led piece goes around a metal pipe (the hinge rod) which usually gets loose and starts to slip. I wrapped a layer of cello-tape onto this hinge rod and slid the bluetooth led piece back on to the hinge rod. This time because of the cello-tape the piece goes f***in firm onto the hinge rod!!!

On the opposite side, i stuffed some toilet paper (!!!) into the piece to make it stiff as there isnt too much of the hinge rod on the other end (for the Radio led piece).

Reassembled the damn thing back, and now it feels like brand NEW!!!! Man, no clicking sounds, no rattling or shakes, no i'm-gonna-fall-apart-any-minute feeling!!!

After doing this, i feel like hanging on to my uni for some more time (a day ago i was so frustrated that i wanted to get rid of it!!)

Cheers!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Hey!

I'll do it in te next couple days.

However, I think if you search for the HTC Universal's service manual, it has better instructions. You need to do the following -

1. Remove battery, sim, and remove 4 screws which are under the battery

2. Remove stylus, and start pulling the back side cover apart.

3. Disconnect antenna holder (the white plastic surrounding the camera (on the insides of the device)

4. Remove screws holding the motherboard, remove connectors coming from display unit and keyboard

5. Pull off the motherboard.

6. Take off the keyboard by removing all screws holding it.

7. Now, the two pieces (i talked of in my first post come off along with the display unit. Do what I told you in the first post and reassemble in the reverse order

8. It should be all fixed!

Again, for these steps download the service manual for step by step instructions with pictures. Also, all you need to take it apart is one screw driver with two bits! Its a philips screwdriver...get the specs from the service manual again!

Cheers!

Hey guys, I'm looking for the best SIM card adapter that won't actually get stuck in ANY phone. Just about everyone of them I've seen gets stuck, and the one I have now got stuck in my Xperia Play.

I wanted to know if such an item exist? I don't care how much I have to pay, as long as it's a quality item.
[General Questions and Answers] TechMinerUK:
I too have experienced this issue as all the adapters I purhcased online to use with devices in the past that needed an adapter either didn't fit or got stuck in the device. The irony is that the best fitting SIM adapters are the ones you get when you buy a new SIM card. Try buying a PAYG SIM with that is a micro SIM and they usually come fitted in a small adapter with a bit of sticky tape holding them in. Carefully pop the SIM out and put yours in and it should work better as they are the same thickness as the original SIM card. :)
