I usually disable options to back up but on a recent reset I left all options as default. Every time I reset now it says restoring apps, just before the phone boots to the homescreen. Is there anyway to remove this?

I dont think so. It is just restoring some google apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides and a few others.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryptrix:
I know we are still waiting on a potential root update for the 5.1.1 firmware, which is how my black friday fire was shipped, unfortunately. However, I have sideloaded google play and google frameworks successfully (I think) via rootjunky's zip. The problem is, I cannot update google play services (Fire tells me it is out of date) without logging into the Play store, but I cannot log into the play store. Whenever I put in my credentials, I get an error that says "There was a problem communicating with Google Servers, please try again later".

If I cant update the framework through Play, or log into play at all, I'm pretty sunk. I have noticed some people referencing the ability to use the Play store on 5.1.1. so somebody must have gotten in successfully. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix, or get this error and find a solution?

New to this and looking for clarification

I just received my Fire today which promptly upgraded itself to 5.1.1. All I want to do right now is install Google Play Store. I've downloaded the GAPPS file linked below (8.4.89), but now I'm hoping for a link for the RootJunky sideloader to complete the process. I'm a super newbie, so any instructions past just a simple link would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryptrix:
Solved

Thanks for the link! Probably what I was looking for, however, issue was solved by running the batch file in the rootjunky ADB zip a second time which probably gave me the same result.

If you haven't found your solution yet, here is the rootjunky link: http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Amazon Fire 5th gen

You download and extract the amazon fire 5th gen zip to a folder, connect your fire (make sure to have the necessary device/adb drivers installed), and follow the promps. FYI I had to run it twice to get Play to work properly, but I'm all set up now, don't even need root really (Although, a replacement launcher would be nice, I think the fire home launcher is a piece of crap).

The ad-removal didn't work with the Rootjunky script, but a separate ADB command got rid of them.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
Install the drivers from Amazon here https://developer.amazon.com/appsan...etting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing

On tablet

We need to enable Developer Options

Go to Settings>Device Options>Tap on Serial Numbers seven times it'll say "You are now Developer"

This puts new category underneath Serial Number, Developer options so go into that

Toggle Enable ADB to the on position

Then plug the tablet in to pc

Then visit the thread here

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122

Download the file in one, and unzip it.

Ignore it's drivers (many seem to have had difficulties with them) and you won't get any joy from the parts of the Batch file that block ads or updates, they won't do any harm, but they won't do anything well at all really so don't worry about them.

run 1-Install-Play-Store.bat

You can check the drivers you have installed work as it loads up, if it has you'll see your serial number on the left of the screen

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

If it shows, all well and good, run option 2 on menu screen and should be good to go.

It'll say it's blocked the ads, it hasn't.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khult:
Thank you guys. Can't believe how easy that was. One thing though - I downloaded the newer GAPPS file, but then the batch file never asked me for its location and therefore installed the default older one. It seems to work perfectly, and asked me to update Play Services first thing, which I suppose gave me the exact same result.

I appreciate the help very much.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
Hey there.

So I tried to use the Nexus Root Toolkit to sideload the OTA, but now when I try to boot my phone it just shows the white google screen and doesn't do anything. I can use ADB and fastboot and get into the bootloader but I can't flash the factory image because I never checked the "Allow OEM Unlock" tick since I didn't plan on unlocking the bootloader. Can anyone help me out here? :confused:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
This is exactly why you should never mess with updates or flashing anything with a locked bootloader. If a factory reset doesn't fix it you're likely out of luck.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
if your bootloader is locked still I can't see how flashing an OTA would effect this.

Have you tried to flash just the original bootloader from the android version on your device ( not the version you wish to update to )

Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

DON'T USE A TOOL KIT ! UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ! There where clear instructions on how to flash OTA's on this site and likely in the toolkit.

Unfortunately this is a case of NOT reading before doing things, I have yet to see anyone recover from this.

Best of luck tho, but it might be a lesson learned the hardway a.k.a RMA
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
I'll attempt this. Weirdly enough when I look at device info in adb it shows it as being on the newest version. But Yeah I'll attempt to flash what I was on before.

Yeah, I mean I've done this before with no issues on my Nexus 6 and there were no issues but that was unlocked when I got it. I just thought you didn't have to unlock the bootloader to sideload OTA's? I may be wrong.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
Yeah like I thought, "Device is locked. Cannot Flash Images"

I wish I had known they added that "Allow OEM Unlock" Switch in Lollipop. Would have solved my problem if I had that toggled.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
You just said you had a nexus 6 unlocked, how did you not know the switch existed?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
I bought it used on /r/hardwareswap and whoever I got it from had already unlocked it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I know someone advised you to try to flash a bootloader, but it isn't going to work of your bootloader is locked. What build were you on and which OTA zip did you try to flash?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
I started on 6.0 MDB08L and was trying to flash 6.1 MMB29M

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
OK, just needed to make sure you had the right one. What have you done to troubleshoot so far?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
I've tied to flash stock, but can't do that due to the bootloader being locked, tried to just hard reset but it just does the same thing where it gets stuck on the Google logo. I checked the manufacture info in the toolkit and everything is clean. Tried to flash the old bootloader but like you said I can't flash since I'm locked. Not really sure what else to do :/
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Honestly, I think you're pretty much screwed unfortunately. You could talk to Google support and see if they'll RMA the phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
Yeah I think they would do it since I technically didn't void any warrantys or anything. I appreciate the help. What do I need to make sure to do if I do this again in the future? Definitely "Allow OEM Unlock", and do I have to unlock the bootloader? I was under the impression that you didn't have to to flash an OTA.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Definitely unlock the bootloader, it isn't needed to flash an update via the stock recovery, but it is needed to get out of sticky situations like this. If your bootloader was unlocked now you'd be up and running in ten minutes.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Hilarious that the top comment is mine telling you why doing this is a bad idea
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
Yeah, I'll probably wait for the update over the air for a while and maybe if I feel reallly eager I'll just make sure I unlock and such. Annoying that you can't unlock via fastboot anymore without that toggle. I get that Google is trying to make Android super secure but It's not too useful for folks like us. Sure it's bricked a lot of devices.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
I've done it before with other devices. I wouldn't say it's inherently bad. It's just that there was one toggle that I wasn't aware of that caused the issue. You live and you learn.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
THIS IS NOT MY IDEA !

I found this in a N9 thread and it worked according to the user with the issue, apply this with the correct t factory image ( do it with the version you have on your device not the one you tried to update to ! )

This might not work but its worth a try ! Before doing this read about ADB and Fastboot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try and understand the basics and know what the commands are doing to help backtrack e.C.t

If it does work - go to settings and allow OEM Unlock and USB debug !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then go read from reputable sources how to flash images manually via adb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd follow vomers guides.

Had this problem with another device cool thing to remeber is that on locked devices the only thing that is different is that there is a signature before the MAGIC header so the solution is to pull the android stock images from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. Once done extract the images in both the zip and the tar that is inside the zip. You will see recovery.img inside the tar. One thing about the boot process of TWRP is that it enables adb in preboot meaning while in the boot loop you should have access to adb. With access to adb all you need to do is dd the images over the corresponding partitions: i.e.

PLEASE NOTE NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BRICKING YOUR DEVICE.

Quote:

adb push recovery.img recovery.img

adb shell dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/<recoverymmcblock>

I dont know if the default recovery has adb push update so id probably recommend doing this on every partition thats inside the tar, i.e. system, boot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seiga:
This looks like a SOL situation hate to say it. But, isn't there a way to flash in Odin mode? That was the old way to fix a soft brick of a phone.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Odin is for Samsung devices
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seiga:
Ah... OK... Thanks for the clarification. Was wondering why it was on the GNexus.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
It wasn't

I stand corrected, although no idea why you would have used this over fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durvid:
Appreciate your help, but I RMA'd the device and I think I'd prefer to keep it in it's current state for when I send it back. It is an interesting concept, though, and I might intentionally soft-brick my $20 moto g that's been collecting dust just to try it out.

Appreciate it!

I got things screwed up when I tried a restoring my nandroid. Unfortunately something went wrong and I couldn't get access to the encrypted partition as the password didn't work and then did a format on everything, before reading up that there was an issue on nandroid restores. I had lost the original OS, then tired flashing with TWRP the original. I still am stuck at the original google boot. I can get into TWRP. I've tried flashing an older original 6.0 original AOSP, but no boot. I tried flashing PureNexus which working before I tried to upgrade to 6.01.

If I get a response of closed for adb push recovery img recovery.img does that mean I can't reflash anything? I also had a waiting for USB debugging by using another toolkit. Any suggestions? Am I SOL? I tried using TWRP's ADB Sideload but that doesn't work when I try to flash-all .

If your Boot loader is locked then really nothing u can do.

Maybe try a factory reset in the recovery.

or you can buy the adapter on ebay (or elsewhere) that allows you to plug in a 1/8" standard item. Posted many times, here's one from this forum: Linkage

I have been at this for about 4 days, and I've spent literally all day today trying to get this to work. I'm having an issue with my phone where the battery is draining really bad, to the point that I have less than 3 hours of screentime on a full charge. I've read about mods and different installments you can use to fix this, but you have to be rooted. I was rooted before via Stump, but since then have unrooted back to the default. I tried to simply use Stump again but it says it's patched. After some research I found that I should flash back to a previous android version ( 10b ) and root it from there using Purple Drake, THEN use TWRP to update back to 5.1.1 lollipop. I'm running into some serious trouble flashing my Andriod. And I think its because it won't go into download mode. I turn it off and hold the volume button up whilst I plug it into the computer, and it goes directly into "Firmware update " 0%. And it has a progress bar, with no progress change I have no idea why it's doing this or what's causing this. I've tried the KDZ method, and it stops during the progress saying " Connection to server failed, please try again in a moment ", which I read was fine and to wait for a Green word on my phone screen and some changes, however the phone does absolutely nothing and sits on that same screen. I've tried the Lg Flash Tool method too, and there was an error saying " Failed Previous Load ()". I'm honestly exhausted and if someone could figure this out you'd be a lifesaver. Speaking of which, I'll buy you a whole bag of the fricking things if you do.

Any help is soooo very appreciated.

Thank you :)

Howdy,

Are you using the flash method described here?

You don't say which bootstack you're on. If you're trying to flash back from 35b you need a different dll. (LGUP8974.zip)

What Windows OS are you using to run the LG Flash Tools from? (It seems like success / failure can be very OS / USB Device driver related.)

For my phone, I had to get the flash tool ready to go - have the phone in download mode - and then unplug / replug the USB cable briefly on the phone in order for the process to initiate.

If you have some screenshots, that might be helpful too...
