[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maccaberry:
My Apollo is stuck trying to upgrade itself.

Background

Previously I did have Safestrap 3.75 and was running Nexus 1.0.1 is in a slot. I had 14.3.2.8 sitting in the Stock Rom slot.

Decided to upgrade to Nexus 4.0.5 so I went back to the stock slot and uninstalled safestrap 3.75.

Saw in the Safestrap 4.0.1 thread that I needed to be on 14.4.5.2 for it to work, so I manually forced upgrade to that version.

Then while I was attempting to get root back (quickly allowing wifi access for it to work) the damn machine downloaded a newer version of stock and tried to install it.

Well I thought "fine I will let it upgrade and then roll back to 14.3.2.8 and start again"

Wrong!. The HDX rebooted and then when it restarted it is now stuck at "Fire is upgrading..." and "Starting applications..." (shortly after the second orange Kindle Fire boot logo)

Now I cant access by adb because the unit is "unauthorized".

Any hope of getting it back online? Its been stuck at boot for a day now. Any hope of a way to bypass the upgrade during the boot phase?

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Unfortunately, not much you can do without adb access. As a long shot try a factory reset from the native Kindle Fire recovery menu. Often this makes things worse but you have little to loose given the symptoms and age of device (likely long out of warranty).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maccaberry:
On the phone with Amazon right now. They also suggested Factory Reset. I know it cant get worse because I already have no root. So I gave it a go. Just bootloops now - still trying to upgrade itself.

They want me to replace it with a refurb at my cost.

Thanks for nothing Amazon. I was on stock when this happened and it was your update that screwed me! LOL Probably get a Samsung or Nexus to replace. It was fun while it lasted though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
What you experienced is not uncommon based comments posted in XDA forums and Amazon customer reviews. OTAs are never 100% reliable but HDX devices seem to be more vulnerable to soft bricks with limited/no recovery options. Obviously the vast majority of users upgrade without incident but even a low single digit failure rate during the expected lifespan of the device raises a red flag. Amazon's replacement policy is also consistent: once out of warranty they will offer a refurb at current prices occasionally muted with a modest discount (eg: $20 USD off). BFD.

HDX is a great hunk of hardware if you can tame it. Nexus and Samsung tablets are a notch below imo but are much easier to mod. Sorry for your loss; good luck with whatever direction you opt to go.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maccaberry:
Hi Davey, thanks for the thoughts. Its the truth that after 2 years this specs on the 3rd gen HDX are still right up there. The image quality and sound quality are outstanding compared to just about anything available - even today. But unfortunately if you like to tinker then its just too much work. Samsung and other manufacturers are heading down the same path with locked bootloaders but even so modding seems a dream compared to the HDX.

Probably going to get a tablet that utilizes a stylus since I really want to use it as a digital notepad for work and a movie player for leisure. My regular kindle e-reader is still the best option for reading books due to very light weight. As good as the HDX is (and any tablet for that matter), tablets are still a bit to heavy for serious reading in bed and the back light disturbs your sleep patterns.

If anyone else reading this has a viable option to get the unit to reboot without upgrading I am all ears, because as I have said I would love to get a bit more life out of this fantastic HDX hardware.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Take a peek at this thread for ideas. Long shot at best. The small glimmer of hope is you made it past the grey logo so dealing with a soft vs hard brick. That said, if USB debug wasn't enabled on 4.5.2 you will be hard pressed to secure meaningful access. Sorry this happened. Might look at grabbing a HDX from an auction site. You are wiser now and would likely make it through the rollback/upgrade procedure intact.

[XDA Assist] 15xda:
I'm using Android 6.0.0 on a bunch of Nexus 6 and Nexus 5x phones, but I think this question likely applies to other recent devices and versions of android (including Lollipop). I'm relatively experienced when it comes to selinux in the server world, and am looking for ways to examine and customize my Android selinux policy. Mind you I have no trouble creating and booting custom boot.img files, where I can alter /init.rc and /sepolicy. Hence, my question is what is the best way to decompile /sepolicy (to see what it is doing), and what is the best way to rebuild it.

Some things I've tried that don't work: Existing tools (sedispol, sesearch) on linux distributions that support selinux do not work, because android uses some weird forked v30 policy file format. The standard tools only go up to version 29, and worse there seems to be a competing candidate for v30 that is incompatible. I've also compiled the AOSP selinux tools on regular linux (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/selinux), and those seem to work on standard v29 policy files (such as those from stock fedora), but dispol still cannot seem to examine an android sepolicy file. I get errors like "libsepol.avtab_read_item: more than one specifier".

The final thing I could do is take it on faith that if, say, for my nexus 5x I clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/lge/bullhead, that the contents of the sepolicy directory actually corresponds to what is on my phone. I guess I can live with that since I'll just be replacing the sepolicy file with my own customized version. However, I also can't figure out how to build sepolicy, given again this weird v30 output format required.

So I would appreciate either a pointer to a "howto," or some sort of reference on how to build sepolicy for android, especially those geared towards people who are already use selinux, just don't know how to get the android variants of the tools up and running.

Hello,

Welcome to XDA.

Normally I would just give a link to a better place to ask your question but in your case I will give you the link and a tip for finding what you are going to want to know about this since you are asking about this for the purposes of applying it to many devices.

Ok, to make your search simpler. If you are on your PC or on mobile device using a mobile browser(not an android app that lets you view these forums) look in the top right corner of the page and in the "search all forums" search box, in that box type "SELinux (your model number)" or just "SELinux" this will give you threads that pertain to your devices specifically and SELinux, in them you can find most of what you want.

For more help with questions you can post your questions in the forum linked below.

The experts there may be able to help.

Remember to register an XDA account so you can post and reply in the forums. Good luck.
[XDA Assist] 15xda:
Thanks for the response. I did search for selinux before posting, and couldn't find anything. This is really a general question about building AOSP, so not that appropriate for any specific device forum. I also browsed the forums, and I think more appropriate than the one you suggested is the software hacking forum (http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking), but since I don't have 10 posts I can't post there.
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
The forum linked below has some off topic threads that you can post in until you get 10

Hi guys :)

So we over here with the smaller 10.1 note have finally gotten our lollipop. Now I was wondering if one of you guys could upload their samsung keyboard.IME apk so we can use the full size keyboard on our smaller devices as well.

If you want to help you can just make a backup with titanium or extract the .apk from system/app/SamsungIME.apk.

Thx and cheers

Hey,

I recently got my phone back from an RMA and my the phone's ear speaker doesn't work at all. This prevents me from using my phone as a phone unless I use speaker phone which is not ideal in most situations. I really don't want to send the phone away on another RMA for what is probably a small hardware misconfiguration, does anyone know of how to fix this a resource for doing so? I am having no luck on google.

Thanks,

E. Lensherr.

I had encountered the same problem with my old HTC ONE X. When I searched on net I found that many people like me were there facing this problem. I adopted one suggestion from there and installed a third party app 'SOUNDABOUT'. Now with the help of this third party app sound can be routed via desired channel (Speaker, Head Phone, ear piece or blue tooth devices).

Hope this solves the issue.

Thanks.

I opened mine up today to replace a cracked screen and kind of looked where the earpiece speaker is behind the mounting frame and kind of push the contacts out a little.

[Huawei Mate S] jizang:
Hi

I'm thinking about changing from a note 4 to a mate S,can some of the mate S user post their experience with it?

How is battery life,camera gaming performance is there any heat while gaming or watchung movies?
[Huawei Mate S] alon3232:
From a previous Note Edge user (very similar to your Note 4) - Keep the Note 4.

Here are the reasons:

Pros (for the Mate S):

================

Probably the best Fingerprint scanner currently on the market - both in terms of speed and accuracy

Design and build quality - mostly metal , nice finish, Gorilla Glash 4 with 2.5D glass

5.5" screen size and overall body to screen ration make the Mate S might be easier to handle than Note 4

Cons (e.g why you should stay with your Note 4):

======================================

Battery life is poor on Mate S and outstanding with Note 4

Mate S does NOT support 5GHz WiFi

Display is far better on Note 4

Camera is better on Note 4 with higher Res video capture modes and still pictures also look better

Quick Charging

True multi WIndow support - Mate S EMUI only supports limited applications in multi window mode

S-Pen functionality

Many case and accessories options including Wireless charging cases and extended battery packs

SAMSUNG brand usually have better warranty and more available spare parts in case of fault happening.

REMOVABLE BATTERY !!!

Performance is about the same (AnTuTu benchmark numbers quite similar)

There is more but I think It is enough.

[LG V10 Accessories] sjaakdesirehd:
I'm not a big fan of cases but with the wireless charging, front cover and without cover on the sides, this is the perfect case for me.
[LG V10 Accessories] papalion:
I agree. I particularly like the one in photo #4, which looks like a plain back, hinge and cover. The one in the other photos looks more like the OEM version which has an extra lip over the corners.

Funny thing is most of the eBay listings have this extra photo while the Amazon listings do not. Though it's likely they're all selling the same thing, I wonder where I can get the one in the different photo if that's what I really want.

Does anybody know if the OEM flip cover replaces the battery cover or of it goes on top of it?

The generic version for sale on eBay and Amazon looks like it replaces the battery cover.
[LG V10 Accessories] planetbeen:
The pics on the Amazon listing look like it goes on the phone over the back cover.

It looks to me like it only covers the very back of the phone and the corners but not the rails or top and bottom sides.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017J...Lg+v10+oem&dpPl=1&dpID=419Dn4-SvFL&ref=plSrch

The last picture shows the back of the case from the inside.

Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
[LG V10 Accessories] papalion:
It also looks like the cutout on the OEM for the camera and the volume and fingerprint buttons is more keyhole-shaped, whereas the generic version is more oval. So they're obviously different cases.

And if only the generic one replaces the battery cover, I'd actually prefer that one.
[LG V10 Accessories] clockcycle:
Your attachment shows a generic back cover that is not what you actually get for the v10, as that one shows both pins on one side, as we know that ours has NFC pins on the left and Qi pins on the right.

That last picture looks like its a clipon flip cover. What I have noticed is that these vendors seem to just find generic look-a-like images and use them. Best to ask the vendor directly what s/he is actually selling. Your listing is a "protective" cover, which leads me to believe it goes over. And it is not like the others that have the Qi / NFC sticker inside.

The OEM & copies flip cover/case replaces the back battery cover just like on the G4. The sticker inside needs to make contact with pins inside to work.

As an example here in this ad they show pictures of if clipping on to the sides of the back, wouldn't make sense if it really has Qi / NFC sticker in back...

Just got the Obliq case a week back, it's really nice. It imitates the Dura Skin back, not quite as nice feeling, but looks very similar. Also fits the phone nicely, good snug fit. Very thin, just thick enough to raise the camera off of whatever surface it's sitting on and gives a small lip on the front to help protect the glass. Lightweight and unintrusive, plus only 10 bucks on Amazon with Prime.
