Hi. I'm lost. I've bricked my freshly purchased H950 because of being in haste to update the firmware to 5.1.1. I've accidentally installed a H955 KDZ over my stock 5.0.1 AT&T H950 firmware. As expected, the device is bricked (everything works except the cell network). I've tried everything, spent about 8 hours with no result. Can't root it as well.

The IMEI and Baseband status is "Unknown" (lost EFS partitions).

Please, if it;s possible, give me an advice how to restore it to its original ATT firmware. I know that ATT hasn't published the TOT file of their firmware. Maybe I could restore it using someone's backed up files?

I'm outside of the US for the next 7 months so I won't be able to return it :(

Please help me, this is urgent.
[LG G Flex 2] eoga:
Well the good new is that your cell phone works so it is not brick. Cell network probably doesnt work because H955 use different bands than H950. I dont think you will be able to go back to ATT rom because like you mentioned there is no kdz for it. But on the bright side you can try to use the H950PR KDZ to flash your cell. this is totally compatible with the H950 from ATT. You can always wait for the someone more knowledgeable to answer but I am almost sure that it should work.

[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
I've installed the h950pr and there the cell network is still not working :(

In case if i find a person who has a similar device with Att firmware, how can i make a backup of it in order to flash my device?
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
I've managed to root my semi-bricked H950. But the imei and baseband version are still unknown. What should I do?
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
baseband ok. just the imei has 0 value. help please
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
follow THIS guide and you should be ok.

Use your own imei embedded in the back of the phone or the original box.
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
tried that, but i get stuck. when adding my port in QPST it says "No phone".

[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Check your PM.
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
Does anybody know how to write IMEI on the H950 without octopus box? Can't do it in QPST, DFS, EFS pro because it sn't recognized as a phone / doesn't answer.

Everything works, I can even make calls, just the imei value is 0.
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
Finally I did it!!!
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Did you use qpst? Or which tool?
[LG G Flex 2] okornel:
Yeah. I used QPST. I had to open cmd, enter "adb shell", then " su", then "echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable". After that you can backup Nv via QPST.

hello members of this forum

i have 2 questions about samsung gt i8262:

1- how to make apps be installed in sd card? instead of internal memory?

2- is there a lollipop update to the device ? official/ unofficial? and how to install?

i hope the replies are detailed.

i apologize in advance if this isn't the correct sub-forum for the topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] Rizan Mohammed:
1. To install a app in SD card You have to flash custom recovery and root your device, then download and install 'ROM Manager' and 'Link2SD'.

Open ROM Manager and choose SD card partition. Open Link2SD and go further.

2. You won't get office update.

Installing custom ROM is the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] georgearn:
lollipop for this "brilliant" device? are you serious? all the custom roms are very bad and there's nothing better for this "masterpiece" than root, your own debloat and some small customization done by yourself.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] devtinagub:
Just tried kingoroot on this verizon sch-I545 model of the s4 and sure enough it didnt work because nobody has gotten past the latest verizon lock-down with VRUGOF1. Would try kingoroot but all chinese so im not sure if i dare... what was interesting about kingo was it really tried and got to about 78% and then said it failed; glad it didnt brick. New to this and so messed up when i bought this pos. Let me try to explain: verizon logo comes on when powered up but when a call comes in it says AT&T. The person said that it was unlocked when I bought it from them . It does work fine with my carriers simcard which is Cricket. So trying to figure this thing out. I'm thinking it was verizon first then unlocked upon contract completion and they went to at&t. Carrier is not the issue all I want is to be able to root the silly thing. So if there is any success on the progress of this ridiculous VRUGOF1 I hope to know. Heck its been several months now. Why cant a phone be like a hard drive and partitioned and formatted to whatever you want? :fingers-crossed:

View attachment 3549658

Like the screenshot explain, i have the new tablet k1, on 5.1.1 and i lack any direct stylus option, plus nVidia lasso and any other stuff?

The problem is that i can use direct stylus on my new tablet...like nVidia say.but how?

Any trick?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudSikh:
I am seeing the same thing. After getting a shield and a directstylus I don't see the lasso stuff or anything. Anyone have any ideas?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbollinger:
You can download the apps from Google play. I don't know about option settings though. If you're confused on why it works, the shield tablet doesn't use an active digitizer so any pen would work.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudSikh:
I have all the apps im talking about the stylus options that you can pull down while browser and draw on your screen and annotate.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjay412:
Those options are activated when you remove the stylus from the shield on the original shield tablet, so I could only assume that there is no way to activate those options since there isn't a slot to remove the stylus from
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
Ok..but we miss the screenshot tool...and the stylus work with K1
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjay412:
How would it work if there isn't a way for it to be activated? It is missing hardware that is in the older tablet that activates those tools
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
Not really..one thing are the automatic action done when you remove the stylus

The screenshot tools (nvidia Lazo) must be activated after you remove the stick

Nvidia stated the stylus work even on Tablet K1, anz the service (nvidia lazo) exist inside the tablet (you can find it with a file explorer)

But there is no way to active it
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSuperSteve:
I just got the Shield Tablet K1 with a DirectStylus 2 that I bought separately, and I'm having the same issues. The built-in tablet help app references apps and functionality that does not exist in the tablet itself. Its pretty clear they simply included the app from the previous version without updating it at all.

My main issue is with the missing "Stylus Only Mode" as palm rejection is absolutely atrocious. I thought this tablet would have been a decent upgrade to my Galaxy Note 8, as I only use it for handwriting and gaming. This tablet can handle the gaming just fine, if not, way better than any device I've owned. The handwriting though, its unusable. Sometimes I rest my palm on the screen and without even putting the stylus tip on the screen, the device thinks I'm writing with my palm.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vartom:
What version of firmware is installed on Shield tablet K1?

Where it can be downloaded?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
stylus only in on nvidia dabbler
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krobz:
Even there the palm rejection is really bad
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjay412:
Exactly. It cannot be activated without the hardware inside the tablet that tells it if the stylus is removed. No slot for stylus=no way for lasso to be activated
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
it can be activated with a button if they want....and they say except for the slot we can use the stylus with the same experience
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjay412:
Source?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Sephiroth:
source what?

Nvidia official site and press release say that stylus 2 work in the same way on the new tablet k1, except the slot and the fact that we don't have a stylus in the pack
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjay412:
Can you provide a link because I cannot find anything that indicates it will work the same way. I have seen stuff that says that it is compatible with the stylus, but nothing that says it will work the same way.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erdiou:
Is it very bad or with a update something like marshmallow solved?

I want a Shield K1 only because of the stylus 2 and the NVIDIA Dabbler 2.0 app.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krobz:
Well actually, now that you have asked for it, i have tested it some more, I noticed that i had smudges or zooming/panning problems when i put my palm near the sides of the screen.

It was all ok when i put my wrist in the middle..

And then started interpreting the message it gave me when enabling stylus only mode better: "stylus only mode enabled for canvas".. Palm rejection only seems to work on the canvas, the whitespace of the screen. So when i zoomed in just a tiny bit i seemed to have gotten rid of my palm rejection issues!

I guess i should thank you for asking about it :D
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleached45:
This would be really simple for nvidia to pop this into the quick settings toggle in the notification drawer. I would actually love it, so I can turn off the navbar, since I use pie anyways. Hoping they bring that option in a newer update.

If you go into your build.prop you can change the line:

ro.disable.stylus.settings=true

To:

ro.disable.stylus.settings=false

Stylus settings are back. This is on the new k1.

I haven't rooted my k1 yet, but what options do the stylus settings actually give you?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exile1975:
I don't know, I didn't pay attention and don't have one (a stylus) so reverted after making sure it worked.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erdiou:
With the update 1.1 for shield k1 nvidia bring back the stylus lasso functionality:

:good:

Is the palm rejection now better?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukexxx:
I have the Shield K1 - no DirectStylus included. However, go to Settings/Stylus/Stylus Only Mode and Lasso Capture to add Stylus Only and Lasso to Navigation Bar.
[Fire TV General] lightykd:
I'm making this thread because there simply isn't enough info dedicated to gaming on the Fire TV 2. I can't be the only one with the frustration of the lack of proper USB support or gamepads not working correctly.

Some things I have found out

- You can install the OUYA launcher to this device and gain access to the Discover store but if you own OUYA games or plan to buy any, you will not have access to DRM. I will play around with transferring my DRM folder from a real OUYA but I'm waiting for a simpler rooting process.

- The OUYA Controller, while perfect on the old Fire TV, it is far from perfect on AFTV2

- PDP Rock Candy, wired XBox 360 controllers works in some games, not in others.

- Haven't found a way to get the Google Play Store to properly work yet... Putting that out there.

- For game streamers, the Google, OUYA and Amazon versions of Kainy do not work :(

- You don't always have to buy the Fire TV version of your Amazon games. Just transfer your purchased game from a phone or tablet to the AFTV2 and your Amazon account will give you proper access to the game on Fire TV2

Anyone else have any gaming related findings?
[Fire TV General] skyball2:
Wireless XBox 360 controllers used to work fine with Fire TV 1. My Fire TV 2 doesn't even find (recognise) them.
[Fire TV General] fuzzywuzzy:
Thanks for the useful comments regarding the 360 controller. That saved me a lot of money buying gadgets that would have just sat in a cupboard.

Another thing would be streaming games via splashtop, remotr, kinoconsole or moonlight. I understand only nvidia supports hardware encoding for streaming which smooths out frame rates. So far I haven't had any luck getting anything to work. Splashtop crashes out, remotr hasn't been reliable and I haven't been able to try the other two yet but l will be trying out . I'll post my results on this tinkering.
[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
I've yet to test mine, but did you make sure that USB ADB was turned OFF?

If it is on you won't be able to use the USB port for anything other than ADB access.

What is the benefit of the "OUYA Launcher"? (also how to install it would be handy too)

I had installed the play services and store on my FireOS 5 dev preview updated FireTV stick, I wasn't able to access the store (no connection) but it did mean that I could install apps that required the play services to be present. http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/general/fake-location-firetv-stick-fireos-5-root-t3252155
[Fire TV General] lightykd:
Sorry I missed your post. For me, the OUYA launcher allows me to access games I've purchased from their store over the past two years. Additionally I use it for better organization of non-Amazon apps. It's VERY handy. You can also purchase additional games from their store but I will admit that some games have DRM issues and pictures within game pages rarely show in the store. Also, without a way to freeze the Fire TV home men upon opening the OUYA menu, some games will not have proper access to their pause menus and there is NO way to access the OUYA "home" menu. -P.M. Me for additional details on installing the OUYA menu. I wish Wonder Lee was around. His software controller modding skills would be helpful right now.

New question: Am I the only one using the following controller on the Fire TV 2/4K?

[IMG="Rock Candy XBox 360 Controllers"]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/rc_360_group_large.jpg[/IMG]

In case you don't know, these are the Rock Candy XBox 360 controllers made by PDP. They are the most common third party XBox 360 controller. For the most part these controllers work well but I seem to have major issues with some games not wanting to play nice with the analog triggers and right analog stick. Additionally Recast (the Dreamcast emulator) does not recognize the triggers at all and struggles with the d-pad. I've already sent a bug report to the Recast team. I really like these controllers from the lighthearted colors to the nice, long white cables. I just wish the software issues could be fixed.

Your copy of Fifa was probably made with a specific GPU in mind. If you're using an AFTV2, the GPU is a Power VR GX6250. -on AFTV1 it's Qualcomm Adreno 320. Your copy of Fifa is probably NOT an "all devices" version. Check the specs of the Android device you're copying from. If the graphic card isn't the same "type" as the one on your Fire TV then try looking for a version that matches your Fire TV's GPU.
