My Kindle Fire HD 7" has been stuck in bootloop for about a year and a half now. I have tried like half of the solutions on this site and still no dice. I really need a tablet to use for my studies at school but I don't have the bank to go and buy a new one. Please help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainy_day:
Hi

I have a rooted M8. I was editing build.prob for some reason but after restarting the phone didn't turn on . Of course if I press Power+Volume Up the phone turn on just for 3 second and immedanly turn off . How can I enter to recovery mode to restore the ROM ? indeed , when I connect it to charger , the phone getting hot but the red LED won't work .

Unfortunately when I press Power+Volume down nothing happend . PLEASE help me ... :crying::crying::crying::(:(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Hold down power+vol up until the phone reboots.

AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK switch from vol up to vol down. That will take you to bootloader, where you will be able to enter recovery from. (select hboot for the recovery option)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainy_day:
unfortunately when I hold down power+vol down it will turn off without any attention !

but I find the solution ! I drained the battery then connected it to the charger. When the screen is showing the battery charge progress image I held down power+vol down and the bootloader appeared !

Thanks [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] :good: :laugh:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
That's because you didn't hold power + vol up first. That forces a reboot. The power + vol down for bootloader only works when the phone is off.

When you force the reboot, you can get to bootloader by switching to vol up

immediately

, so that the phone doesn't have time to get to the boot up stage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainy_day:
I held P+U first , the white screen appeared including "htc logo in center" and "red warning sentence for using outside of HTC in bottom of the screen" . it took time only 3 second and after the phone immediately turned off. I held down P+VD whenever at those 3 sec (before,after, middle,start,end and whenever) but it never take me to bootloader .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Then you did it wrong.

It could take up to 20 seconds to force a reboot with power + vol up. What I said to do always works while your phone is still powered up.

If it is off, then just hold power + vol down.

If it booted to the startup screen right away with P+U, then your phone was probably already powered off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rainy_day:
yeah , my first post indicates the phone is always powered off and I can't turn it on unless I hold down P+U . It means that the phone already powered off . I blame me for my poor English , excuse me for confusing sentences . I knew I am not clear ... :rolleyes:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
The important thing is that you got your phone working again. :good:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckl_88:
Hi. I am thinking of getting an LG G3. Unfortunately, all the local variants for sale are the D852. What I need is either the D851 (tmobile) or D852G (Videotron). I need Aws band 4 (1700/2100).

I've been searching around and found this interesting thread:

http://forums.redflagdeals.com/can-lg-g3-d852-work-wind-mobilicity-1720993/

Which says it's possible and somebody has actually done it. But I have my doubts.

So my question is: Is the North American LG G3 physically the same phone for all variants, but is just firmware locked to work on certain frequencies. Or are they physically different (ie. different antennas tuned to certain frequencies)?

If it's the latter and it has specially tuned antennas, it may work on aws band 4 but signal strength would be weaker? I'm not an engineer so I'm just guessing.

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G3] Henri Blanche:
Greetings All!

I have a rooted LG G3, Kit Kat 4.4.2, no custom ROM but several apps that required Root.

This is a new problem that has only appeared for a few days. I have no problem connecting to already paired devices. When I try to "Search for devices" it starts the search, then the phone turns Bluetooth off, complains that I need to turn Bluetooth on, then actually turns Bluetooth on. At no point does it show any sign of finding the new Bluetooth device I want to pair with. And I've tried this with a couple of different Bluetooth devices.

On a lark I tried cleaning Cache and Dalvik Cache but that didn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers, Henri

Hi. I have an NVIDIA Shield Tablet (sans-K1) and I wanted to connect my Classic Controller (Wiimote) to the tablet. It gaved me the error "no route to host". I heard installing Cyanogenmod would fix this.

I deleted everything, a Wipe from 0 and now It keeps telling the annoying "no route to host" after all the instalation-wipe process I made. I don't think I can get that controller any soon as I live in Ecuador (No NVIDIA Controller here at all, here no one knows what is Shield Tablet or even NVIDIA).

So, what do I do? Im willing to install any fckin Custom ROM, boot, whatever. I have any chance or im fcked?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iqbal_mahmuda:
You will need to be rooted if you want gapps.

BTW, Gapps isn't necessary, if you flash WW firmware since CN firmware don't comes with Google apps. Neither the phone is CN or WW version is not the problem, the CN compatible with WW firmware. Here maybe this website will help you, but don't download and flash their files because it's for zenfone 2 ze55*ml so just follow the instructions, but I can't help you for the firmware file because I'm using zenfone 2 ze551ml.

Hey Guys,

I just got this phone and instantly updated to 6.0, then performed a factory reset and cleared the cache. I was testing things out and it looks like all videos, whether played through Youtube or the built in Video App, stutter for me a half second every 10 seconds or so.

*Update. Turns out formatting my SDCard as internal storage contributed to this, as the phone tells me the card is slow even though it's a brand new Class 10 UHS card. I formatted it as portable storage and the lag is gone on the phone. Now it just lags when on Screen Mirroring, right next to my 2 year old Note 3 which doesn't lag at all using the same features.

Any thoughts? Thanks,

Nila
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kevinwu128:
Hi All, I've given up on this phone will all the lag!

I always have 1GB in use of Ram in the system, is it the same for everyone? And after a few day to day apps, it starts lagging. I have so many workarounds but it's so frustrating that it's supposed to be a "new" phone.

I'm not really sure how Sony works, but do you think this will be fixed in firmware 6.0?

When do you think it will be released?!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RozenTensai:
I don't have lag problems, but rebooting issues not related to overheating, as the phone is at normal temps when it reboots.

Neither have had any camera or battery issues, it withstands very well long recording times and the hottest it got was around 65ºC.

I'm thinking about the simcard causing the rebooting issue as it is a trimmed down microsim and it could be touching something inside the phone or even failing the contacts.

I got my hopes up when buying this phone, but apart from the rebooting issue, it is still meeting my expectations.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dafie:
A good OS should keep most of the RAM full at all times, no? After all, RAM is much faster than the non-volatile storage..
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
I'm stuck in an install. I wiped the system, so it doesn't boot. I can only get to the bootloader and recovery mode (currently TWRP). I lost the zip files off the /sdcard, so I'm trying to sideload file with adb.

Problem is that the device won't show up in adb. It was working earlier as I set developer options/USB debugging, blah, blah, blah, but now in TWRP, it errors out. Looking at device manager, I have a "Other devices - AOSP on Shamu" with a driver error. I installed the google nexus drivers already, but I can't seem to correct this problem.

Any suggestions welcome.

I was following the instructions here:

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_shamu

1. copied my zips to the /sdcard/

2. Select Wipe and then Factory Reset.

3. Select Install (if you're running Cyanogen recovery this is Apply Update).

Navigate to /sdcard and select the CyanogenMod .zip package.

Follow the on-screen notices to install the package.

Whoops! The wide seems to have wiped the zip files, so I have nothing to install.

Question: Is 'adb sideload' my only option? It's and internal sd, so I think I'm stuck with ADB.

Sigh. Evil wipe.
[XDA Assist] Saber:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA assist.

You should be able to mount your internal sd card using TWRP. After that, your PC should recognize your phone as a mass storage device. Then you should be able to copy the zips onto your sd card and flash them.

Good Luck! - gsstudios

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. 2 nights ago I opened up my sons Nexus 5 and changed the battery. I replaced it with a oem replacement that I found on Amazon. I put the phone back together and everything works fine, but he is suffering from random shutdowns. He says that he plays his phone throughout the day and every now and then when he pulls his phone out of his pocket it has powered off. He has to hold down the power button to restart the phone.

Open the phone again to make sure everything inside is connected firm and correctly. Otherwise if you keep getting the issue after, you should probably send the battery back to the seller.

[SOLVED]

Unzip mfastboot.exe into \platform-tools\

flashing: mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

done!
[Moto X Q&A] hachamacha:
The info in your post is kind of confusing. What does ghost_retail*.xml.zip have to do with looking for a custom recovery which is what I am guessing you want on your "working" device? All you could get out of the .xml.zip file would be something like stock_recovery.img which wouldn't allow you do recoveries. Sounds like you want to download TWRP (or Philz) from somewhere and boot into fastboot mode, then use "fastboot flash recovery {whatever_recovery.img}" to flash the custom recovery.

If that's not your intent then post back and try to explain better. It seems like you had things "working well" on TR511 but still decided to update BL & Rad anyway. There's no need to update anything if it's all working OK and there's no new features (like a working speakerphone or something) in there for you.

Also: the 'reported output' in your

section is pretty inconclusive for troubleshooting. It almost sounds as if you tried to flash (or RSDLite) something huge like the entire image (805,306,368 bytes?). I've built lots of recoveries and they average more like 5-10MB. , not 800MB. Also it says something about "battery low" in there. I'm lost on that output ;;)

And another note: System.img has little or nothing to do with getting recovery back together. It's just the packed up version of /system/.... in the "SYSTEM" partition.

Maybe for starters: tell us once again what ROM is working right now including version. Then tell us what recovery you want to flash. Someone can likely help out if we know those things. You appear to have unlocked BL since you're flashing ROMs so there's hope.

Anyway, good luck.
