[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lol.:
The adbfire GUI does this perfectly. I've got it down to a 15 min process from stock to modified inc add-ons etc. I'd recommend hardwiring the computer you run adbfire on, and have the firestick as close to the router as possible (or hardwire if it's a FTV.) If the add-ons arnt a big deal, you can have Kodi and Firestarter done within 10mins using the GUI. Anyway, restore process that works best for me is:

-Connect Firestick to WiFi, log in, enable adb debugging and unknown apps.

-Get IP from Settings>About>Network

(The rest can be done from a PC now.)

-Load adbfire GUI, connect using IP found above.

-Install APK (select the Kodi apk.)

-Install Firestarter using the button provided.

-Click 'Restore' and select backup taken using 'Backup' from a previously modded Firestick (with all the add-ons/build you prefer.)

-This can take between 15min and 1 hour depending on your connections to router (what I mentioned above about hard wire etc) and also the size of the backup. My build is over 1GB, hardwired PC with Firestick 3 feet from the router, it takes me 13min to restore.

Personally this took my install time down from ~2 hours to 15minutes, mainly because the build I prefer is so large and takes a lot of tweaking to get going (however once I had it sorted, taking a backup means newly-restored devices are 100% ready when the backup process is done.)

I've spent more time on this than I'd like to admit but I got sick of spending 2hours and headaches each and every time!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrick_445:
Why is your build so large? do you install other apps besides Kodi? Which addons do you use?

For those with a slow connection who are trying to build a FireTV (not the Stick), it might be faster to place the kodi backup on a microSD plugged into the device and move the directory from there to the Kodi userdata directory instead of trying to move it from a computer over Wifi.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbl0ggs:
The way i did it was...

1) Installed ES File Explorer

2) Installed Firestarter using ES File Explorer

3) Installed latest stable version of Kodi from FireStarter

4) Used Fusion/Wizard to install popular Add-ons (TVMC)

extremely easy
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lol.:
Andy's build v7 - it's impressive - but a pain in the ass to get working (i4atv updated last week causing major headaches.) The latter is what led me down the backup/restore route.

If I start jailbreaking these and selling them on Craigslist, should I be worried about Amazon suspending my email / account for using the same IP or email too many times?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lol.:
Well for a start, jailbreaking is not the right term here, lets leave that to iOS ;)

Secondly, I'm not in the best position to advise, I don't sell these, I simply have a few and didn't want to spend hours sorting them all out once an update or a different build is released. I would suggest you do NOT use your personal Amazon account if you plan to do this though, it's not worth the risk. Perhaps look into creating a different one...

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRoc7890:
As stated in a previous post, I avoid adb all together and use ES Explorer to download Kodi apk and FireStarter Apk and then use Fusion Config Wizard for most popular add-ons.. I can get this all done under 10 minutes a stick.. On Black Friday and Cyber Monday I purchased 100 Firesticks for $2500 ($25/piece sale) (purchased in Delaware to avoid sale tax) and have been selling them side loaded with Kodi for $80-$100. Let's just say it's going to be a good Christmas. The market is saturated with these (Craigslist, eBay) I usually sell by word of mouth and I even have a few store owners who bought 5 at a discount.
[Dell Venue] Electraglider:
Hey all, I have just picked up one of these babies directly from Dell during their Pre-Black Friday sale for an amazing price of $293. Okay, not just, but it is brand new and incredibly, it is the 32 gig model. I have been searching around to see if there have been any negative, or positive, comments, regarding this tablet. Yeah I know it's a little late to be doing that, now that I have bought it. However, in my defense I did search the reviews that came out in January when the DV8 7000 first came out before I pulled the trigger. All the reviews back then were for the 16 gig model and by and large everybody seemed to be favorably impressed. Although they did think it was a little spendy at the time. It was going for $399 then. So I figured I couldn't go too far wrong if I spent just a tad less than that for 32 gig.

What I would like to know is, aside from some of the ergonomic issues, which I believe I can accommodate, how satisfied, or not, are you with this tablet? What are your nits and pics? I have been searching for any forums dedicated to this tablet and have been unable to find any. The Dell support forums have a few dissatisfied customers but really, not all that many. But then maybe there hasn't been all that many of these sold. Anyway, I haven't seen too much out there from end users regarding this tablet so I just wanted to get this out and maybe get a conversation going. So lets hear what you all have to say. Also, is there anybody out there that has snagged the 32 gig model?
[Dell Venue] ascovit:
I am overall pleased with my new (to me) Venue 7840. I got it yesterday and I also wanted something thin and with a good screen. I did a lot of reading and youtube watching for this model, in comparison with the Galaxy tab S2, and decided to buy one of these, as it stands out from the crowd with its very industrial design and almost lack of side and top bezels.

Ergonomically speaking, it isn't the best out there, but you get used to holding it quickly enough to not be bothersome.

I think the main reason why I picked this up will also be my biggest gripe about it. The screen is amazing for media consumption, but not very gentle on my eyes for web browsing. The high resolution not only forces me to squint a lot more, but it also takes a toll on the processor, as I get random flashes of the background when I pull down the notification drawers and hangs while trying to download pdfs from the web using Chrome.

Other than that, I really must point out that the wireless reception is just terrible. It doesn't help that I have a very slow connection to begin with, but it seems that the tablet is struggling very hard when it comes to youtube streaming content, for example, or downloads. It gets worse if your hold the tablet by the left side, as the signal drops and is lost randomly. You soon learn to use 2 fingers to hold it by the edges.

Being so thin, it really doesn't inspire confidence. I mean, sure, it's aluminium, but still, I have to be very careful of where I put it, cause it sure scratches easily. Also, it's hard to pick it up, with its flat back.

That's why I also got the folio case, which is just your normal iPad-inspired case, but with a bare back, probably for the cameras and heat dissipation, and it's atrocious. The case is thicker than the tablet, obviously, and its top edge makes it hard to swipe down and open the notification bar. It is also kinda flimsy, the plastic bit where the hole for the usb port is cut has cracked already, you can't fit L-plug headphones into the jack and there is no wake function (meaning that the screen doesn't turn on/off when using the cover).

The sound is amazingly good, and I don't understand why Dell is using the MaxxAudio app as a toggle feature, since I don't believe anyone will want to use it without this enabled.

Battery life is good, I've been downloading updates and pdfs and watching documentaries over wifi and playing Angry Birds 2 since this morning and it went from 100% to 47%. That's 6 hours of usage.

There are 2 follwing conditions I need:

1. Stock cm or base like candy5 and crdroid?

2. Have you installed hack tools like tribute or lucky patcher?

The only solution I know of is installing root explorer from the play store, check read and write, go to root tab, browse to etc, and delete the host file. Could be "hosts" too... I forget If your play store doesnt work you can easily google root explorer apk
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StayingSober:
So my wife's Note 4 is on the latest 5.0.1 update from Verizon, and lately has developed a strange issue. Anywhere between 0-30% battery life left, it will go into a reboot loop. If you let it reboot over and over long enough, the Verizon screen gets shorter and shorter every time, before it finally gets to a black screen with small red text in the top left that reads "Secure fail: modem" and a large yellow exclamation point in the center, and instructs to use "VZW Software Upgrade Assistant" to fix the issue.

But even more strange, is once she plugs it into a power source, she is able to boot it up fine with no issues until the next night the same scenario happens all over again. She's never modified any software, attempted to use temp root methods, etc. and has always run stock OTA updates. She has also tried factory resets and the issue returns a few days later.

tl;dr Random reboot loop every day, eventually leading to "Secure Fail: modem" screen until plugged into power, then boots/runs fine until next day.

Any ideas of what could be going in is greatly appreciated! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky_davis:
My note 4 had the same problem. Battery would get to 30% die, and reboot constantly. I bought a new battery but it made the phone do the opposite then. Now it will on charge up to 65% and no more. But, it will reach 0% before it actually die. It is a glitch in 5.0.1 that affects several galaxy phones. The sad thing is that it is NOT the latest update. Currently 5.1.1 is, and Verizon refuses to release that for unknown reasons. Sprint is the only carrier that pushed 5.1.1 after these problems started. Other problems are the note 4 crashing, battery drains, overheating, poor processing, restarting out of no where, slow, and app crashing. I myself, is unhappy with the note 4 and I am most likely going to go with a different phone. (which is sad because my note 2 was just awesome.)

As far as I know you can only do temporary recovery boots (either twerp or Cyanogen) using a PC to push the recovery image and then boot it.

[Fire General] QUEW1134:
The drivers have been tricky with the Amazon Fire to say the least, and this seems to be because windows recognizes the driver as unsigned. To get around this issue, you will need to temporarily enable installation of drivers that are unsigned.

First go to Settings>Update and recovery.

from there click on advanced startup.

Your PC should say "please wait" then pull up a menu.

In this menu click on "troubleshoot" then click "start up settings"

Your PC will now restart

The PC will now boot into Startup Settings. Click 7 on your keyboard to disable driver enforcement then hit enter.

Your PC will restart once more.

Now your fire drivers should install as they are intended. Allowing installation of unsigned drivers can be a security risk, so once you have completed this process and installed the drivers reboot your PC and windows will automatically turn Driver Signature Verification on once again.
[Fire General] je66b:
its smart to uninstall the fire drivers and reinstall them using the driver signature mode to make sure theyre installed correctly.

its also worth noting that in my case, the device needed a different driver from the downloaded for each mode (normal/on, fastboot, sideload), there is another thread on here for this but Ill add it here just in case someone else stumbles upon this first.

when installing the drivers in device signature mode, youll want to put the device in all 3 states while in signature mode to make sure you dont run into any problems trying to return the device to stock or moving on from fastboot etc. ( i did this, it was scary..)

1. when installing the drivers in signature mode youll come across 3 different drivers to choose from, the first driver "android ABD interface" is for when the device is in normal/on mode.

2. youll need to next boot the device into fastboot mode, i used the rootjunky amazon fire supertool and booted the device to fastboot, then disconnect and reconnected it to my pc and chose the second adb usb driver "android bootloader interface"

2. after installing that driver disconnect the device from the computer and power it down. power the device into the recovery mode by shutting it down then holding volume down and power (when holding the device in portrait orientation the volume down button is the one to the left) and navigate to the option that requires you to connect your device to a PC to load software (sorry i cant remember what option it is) it will say something like its waiting for a connection, connect the device to the PC and install the final driver "android composite ADB interface" now every facet of operation should have a driver, reboot your PC out of driver signature mode and if you were in the same boat as me, you should be able to sideload back to the android os, and flash roms or whatever else.

You can deploy appx and appxbundles without PC, go to Developer Settings and turn on Device Portal. Then tap Pair and memorize the password or just leave it there in the background. Now go to Edge and navigate to http://127.0.0.1/ and enter the password. I suggest to also check the Remember box. Now you can deploy appx packages on the Apps page. This does not work for XAP.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1strife:
Are there any solutions to disable volume and power button in lockscreen? I know there's an app which *tries* to hide the power menu, that doesn't seem to be secure enough, since long pressing still shuts down the phone.

Recently lost a phone (and successfully retrieved it, thanks to surveillance camera). The phone in question was secured with lockscreen, and it came back factory reset, ready to be sold in stolen phone market, which led me to finding ways upping my phone security.

Now, suppose I have tracker apps installed on my Note 5, it would rely on WiFi or mobile network to be traceable, and so far the only loophole I can find is:

1. Wrap the phone in tinfoil, all signal is lost.

2. Blocks speaker with thumb to muffle any alarms I set off

3. Rush home before I enable any alarms or track location, get connected to PC and start tinkering with stuff.

4. Keeps screen on until battery dies.

5. Or, just simply hold the power button.

With the Note 5, taking out the battery is out of question, which is a good thing in this case, (although not so good for a bricked phone with dead power button).

So, the next sensible option is to turn off the phone by long pressing power button, which is not exactly a hard thing to do.

Any other ideas would be appreciated. (I still don't fully understand how hard/easy it is to factory reset the phone with lockscreen on.)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanr Zij:
You can disable power button on lock screen through an option in Wanam xposed or GravityBox.

But you can not prevent combo buttons to force phone turn off/reboot like Power + Volume down
