If we can get into fastboot, can we then do something like

fastboot boot recovery.img

to get into a custom type recovery and do a backup? I'm on the AT&T H810 version, locked bootloader, I don't know if that means a big fat NO lol or if this method of getting into fastboot mode would even work on my variant.:confused:
[G4 General] autoprime:
no one should be wiping laf or recovery to get into fastboot. it's a dumbed down fastboot that doesn't let anything flash or boot. the directions I gave OP were in a PM as a last resort because he was stuck in download mode with no booting and wanted to try fastboot. It was never meant to be suggested in public to users who might think they can get anywhere with it.

Holly molly sir! You are a legend. Long story not so short. My lg got the bootloop bug. Took 2 months to fix, but apparently they changed my locked to three uk H815 "eu open" motherboard with actually unlocked one. So I was finally able to unlock boot-loader, root and **** up (LOL). Apparently I didn't install twrp properly (you'd think "fastboot boot twrp.img" would not install it but run it once) And i was following this to get Android M on. But it requires reboot before boot-loader is flashed. Right when i clicked reboot i figured it wont start in twrp but in stock recovery. So I couldn't even get proper bootloop, it would cut half way into the LG logo. I reckon kdz-ing would havedone the trick, but god it takes ages to DL the kdz file. So in the mean time i found this legendary post. The odd thing was i had to click Yes, on the factory reset screen, but it got me to "Fastboot mode started" and from there i booted into twrp and finished what it had started, currently its Optimising app 35 of 55. Nice one OP, Nice One!

hi i have unlocked bootloader. but i keep getting FAIL as response
[G4 General] YoucefHam:
Hi,

how can I change it back to default Factory reset??
[G4 General] bradtheo:
Restore Recovery

I am currently unable to get into bootloader using power+up on my H815, even when trying adb reboot bootloader, it would just reboot back into android, so I tried this method.

Am I correct in this method seemed to flash the bootloader/fastboot over the stock recovery image?

Did this make a copy of bootloader/fastboot? So bootloader/fastboot are now installed on both bootloader and recovery?

If so, is there anyway to restore the stock recovery back so when pressing power+down it boots to recovery rather than fastboot?

Thanks

Dear autoprime!

I have a BL-locked H811 that is stuck on bootloop but has "OEM Unlock" option enabled in its developer options. I can enter only download mode. But I want to enter the fastboot mode in order to run the commands like "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot boot <twrp_filename>.img". Will the following command (also mentioned in OP) work for me as well?

dd if=/dev/zero bs=8192 seek=35840 count=5120 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

Regards.
[G4 General] gsoto_:
/dev/block/mmcblk0 permision denied

I try that command but the only thing that I get is /dev/block/mmcblk0 permision denied. I think that root is needed but how to doid that if I can't enter to fastboot.

Anyone know why buddy cases aren't being produced anymore?

I crave a physical keyboard as it's still so much faster than any onscreen keyboard my friends are using.

Still can't fathom why the manufacturers have stopped making sidesliders.

But apart from that, a buddy case would suit me as well, should be fairly easy to make.

And there is a large public of people that require fast typing.

I also tried to look for a case that just has an extra pocket so I could add a generic bluetooth keyboard, nothing turns up at all.

[General Questions and Answers] Ralse:
So I found some sort of buddy case on ebay for iphone 6 5.5".

Basically it's a flipcase 'thick' enough to house both a keyboard and a phone, which seems to be very hard to find.

The bluetooth keyboard is said to be for iphone but I have one for android anyway so I'll replace that, those things are usually just glued on there.

Also the plastic click-in casing is of course for iphone but I ordered a cheap one for my phone and replace that as well.

Also need to cut out a camera hole in the back of the flipcase.

I'll try to post pictures once I'm done massacring these items.
[General Questions and Answers] Ralse:
So here it is.

The most important item is a buddy case or flip cover (however they call it) that is big enough to house a bluetooth keyboard.

I found one for the iphone 6 which could hold a 5.5" inch screen and apparently the keyboard was supported by my moto x play.

Usually the click-in plastic is taped on so you can just (gently) rip it off.

I also bought a very cheap (probably because it was pink) flip cover that has the plastic thingy where my moto x play fits in.

Used double sided carpet tape to stick the plastic click in thingy to the cover.
[General Questions and Answers] VilleI:
Physical keyboards are just so much better to type with. With virtual keyboards you must be looking to your hands all the time to type. It is just better when you can "feel" the keyboard.

New Update OJ5 Rolling Out (11/2/2015)

Samsung have a Doze like feature now in battery setting “App Optimization." Supposedly, this helps the battery immensely in standby mode. It stops apps from refreshing in the background. See screenshots.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] MMakoto:
Installed this update earlier, didn't really look into to. My complaints about battery is the idle or deep sleep, it drains 12-15% overnight, and the WiFi eats a ton of battery too. Don't think this update has addressed the WiFi drain issue yet.

It has been about a week and my standby time has greatly increased. I work at a big box store and after 8 hrs with little usage my battery would be at 50% .

[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
One of the things that annoys me about my Dash is its habit of attempting to call home every time it boots up. I always recei a number from some service complaining that I have an unknown phone number. It would be nice to know how to turn this off.

Also, is there some way of generally making a distinction between EDGE and WiFi connections so I can avoid burning data if I don't have to? AT&T's configuration has EDGE set us as an Internet connection, and a proxy set up from The Internet to WAP Network. It's nice that Skype and Fring make a distinction between cell data and WiFi, and I'd like to carry that over o mail, MSN Messenger, ShoZu and browsers if possible. I'm willing to experiment since I have unlimited EDGE for the rest of this month.

Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] outphase:
Are you referring to a received text message? Cause you'll get that if you don't disable the myfaves when you use it on the at&t network.
[HTC Excalibur] Kichigai:
Yep, that's it. How do I go about disabling MyFaves? And is it possible to re-enable it later? There's the possibility that once our contract is up (or at least, once my contract is up) we'll be jumping ship to go with T-Mobile.
[HTC Excalibur] outphase:
There's a shortcut in \Windows\Startup that you move out. I forget the name at the moment, but it should be clear.
[HTC Excalibur] momentarylapseofreason:
What he said.... you will need to rename the file (whatever you want)... reboot and then you can delete it.
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
He can't rename the file if it's in use. Download a task manager like celetask. Open program and go to processes, kill myfavapp (I think its called), then go to the \Windows\Startup folder and remove the shortcut to the My Fav application.
[HTC Excalibur] momentarylapseofreason:
Oh really? Because that is exactly how I did it. (And yes, it was running under the processes)
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
I've never found a successful way of renaming or moving the my5service.exe file in WM5. I did it without any problems in WM6 but I don't use it. I've searched many threads and all say recommend the same methods like deleting MyFav from the Startup Folder (which I don't see like so many). It simply can't be done or something since it's a ROM/System/ReadOnly. I tried unchecking System/ReadOnly using RescoExplorer then tried moving it using Resco and Activesync. No Go. If anybody knows how to take out my5 in WM5, please post it.

P.S.: I am using Celetask 2.2
[HTC Excalibur] bigedmiami:
i am running WM6.0 what i did was to go to "Comm Manager" and i turned off the "Data" & "Phone radio" icons, i restarted the phone, with the radio off i was able to delete the file, after deleting the file i turned back on the above and restarted again, no rogue text any longer

Thanks to [MENTION=6289000]jkchr1s[/MENTION] for the steps

I have also attached a backup com.amazonfire launcher just incase soeone messes up.

Working Launcher replacement thanks to [MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5933283]Awesomeslayerg[/MENTION] ! Here's the steps:

See [MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION] post at http://xdaforums.com/show...8&postcount=23 and download "boot-firelauncher.img"

Enable USB debugging

Install your launcher of choice!

On your computer, run

adb reboot bootloader

Once your tablet reboots in to fastboot, run on your computer (if you are not in the same directory as boot-firelauncher.img, put the full path):

fastboot boot boot-firelauncher.img

Tablet will reboot

Once booted open an adb shell:

adb shell

To back up the existing app, run:

cp /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk /sdcard/Download/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk

Then nuke it!

rm /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher/com.amazon.firelauncher.apk

Now, run to restart your device:

reboot

Confirmed working on my tablet with FireOS 5.0.1.

Enjoy!

If you mess up and your fire dosent have a launcher then download the apk file and adb sideload it once your at the lock screen.
[Fire General] rivethead23:
Just wanted to mention can keep the Fire launcher installed without having it forced as default. Follow the above then using a file manager go to where you made a copy of the apk file and install it. It will install and can be used and selected as home or not via the usual home method.

After removing the default launcher, I moved to Nova launcher and lost access to all the apps I had saved to my SD card via the system settings. Does this have something to do with the firelauncher? Is there a way to re-enable sd card read/write access?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
shouldn't, did you remove other amazon apps?
[Fire General] shiz0id:
nope, just the FireLauncher, the apps are grayed out in nova, if that means anything.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Apps on sd card working fine with Google now launcher
[Fire General] shiz0id:
fixed after forcing a restart of nova, appears to be some kind of issue with the app itself

On another note, do you know any way to re-enable sd card write access?
[Fire General] heartagram20:
I found it was easier to download a 2nd launcher (google now/apex/nova) after I gained root access, then backup the com.amazon.firelauncher in the system/priv-app folder to my SD card or outside the priv-app folder using es file browser. Delete the com.amazon.firelauncher folder inside priv-app, restart the tablet then I was asked on reboot to confirm the default launcher.

Thought it may help someone out who doesn't fancy running the commands.

Cheers as this forum has helped me a lot, much appreciated for all the hard working devs!

Mod Edit
[XDA Assist] Ernoz:
Hello, i have a pretty messy music library with few tags set just a bunch of songs thrown together in a folder due to multiple migrations etc. I just execute Linux commands to look for mp3 files and send them all to one folder since its the easiest method.

I wonder if there is a player that displays the images that are inside of each music file instead of selecting the one in the first one and set it all as one single album and has audio balance.

To illustrate I can have separate songs with their album image attached inside my folder for 100 songs but my music player using the built-in music library feature of Android select the first song and use that image as the album image for all the songs when the album tag is unspecified. There are players which, however, does not do this and respect what image is attached to the song. An example is the music player for Huawei Honor. But I have recently gotten hearing issues and I need a player that does this with audio balance, which the Huawei one doesn't.

All tips that might help is appreciated as always. I have tried players like Shuttle and Blackplayer without luck so far.

I guess I will get comments such as "Just clean up your tags" but I'm not the type to tag songs as I tend to listen to a bunch of less-known electronic artists that are not really possible to locate in any music identification database (I'm sure it has your pop, rock and classics though...) The reason I have gotten rid of the tags over time is because I got a lot of ugly albums containing only one to around five songs depending on the EP.

EDIT: its worth noting that it might work to make a seperate folder for all the individual songs, but that sounds like a horrible fix to me.

I'm sure somebody can relate to my situation, it is not easy to dig through the mess of music apps out there.

Hi,

I suggest asking for opinions here,
