- fastboot cables are largely useless on this device; use a regular USB cable

- device must be in fastboot mode with "ready" showing on display to accept fastboot commands

- if no "ready" or no response to "fastboot devices" then Windows driver -or- USB connection (cable, host port, etc) is the culprit

- cycle through various drivers in Windows Device Manager until you find one that works; "fastboot devices" is the litmus test as the ready prompt can be a faux indicator

- if none work reboot both devices and try again; can be incredibly frustrating trying to find the magical combination that works for *your* config

- also try a different host USB port and/or cable; avoid hubs and USB3 ports which don't play well with older hardware

Saw your PM; prefer to keep it in the forums where other can benefit from the exchange - now and in the future (I ain't getting no younger).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
pm = figured would be faster and less thread clutter...I will write up how we fixed this if it's fixable.

Ok, let me understand 1st step.

Tell me how to put into fastboot mode please.

Tablet is turned off...no display...what do I do next?

*trying your Motorola drivers now

same cable and port will show me adb result from adb devices (so it does work on that level) not using usb 3 ports...just usb2 ports.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
[MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] - thoughts on this situation? Device (Apollo) may be in a deeper state of duress than my pay grade supports.

Also note user (apparently) flashed a Thor recovery to an Apollo device and is currently experiencing expected touch screen alignment issues. He has not been successful in booting an Apollo TWRP image from fastboot.

A vulnerable bootloader is apparently available given the apparent successful flash of TWRP - albeit the wrong build.

User is familiar with MiFlash and had been utilizing a modded fastboot cable to communicate with the device.

Press and hold <power>+<vol-down> simultaneously. Release when screen responds (typically <5 sec).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
well this is now interesting

power+volUp = kindle screen, let go of power keeping holding up and = TWRP

SAME thing for power+volDown

I will try what you said and let go of power after 3 seconds---before the Kindle screen shows up.

Can you try this on yours...I have done this to get into other modes sometimes.

power+volumeUP AND volume down...all 3 buttons, let go of power after screen comes on....see what you get.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Likely due to locked bootloader. Once in TWRP tap around until you are able to activate the reboot tile then select bootloader. Alternatively, if adb is available: "adb reboot bootlaoder".
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
I hope you see this.

I got into TWRP and started ADB sideload.

In windows command prompt it is now showing up like this

List of devices attached

B0180706347600X3 host

Can I use ADB commands to flash new recovery or updated files?

Update - I managed to flash Twrp_cubed.img within TWRP and no difference.

Touchscreen is not aligning to buttons.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:

Nope. See my prior post. From TWRP reboot to bootloader (fastboot), verify connectivity then erase aboot as instructed in the previously linked post. Reboot again and follow the instructions in step #6.

I'll be candid here - there seems to be some difficulty following instructions. Your device is nearly borked with an unknown mix of components due to prior ad-hoc efforts that largely failed. You are damn lucky some semblance of TWRP is still available; else you might be looking at a paperweight. You need to get to a level playing field before rebuilding. Carefully following directions is highly recommended. Maybe it is time to take a break and come back with fresh eyes.

I will offer one possible detour that may or may not work but could make it easier to get from point A to B:

- download the Apollo build to Fire Nexus KTU84Q (that ROM; not another; yes it is KitKat based)

- boot device into TWRP and tether

- if you can 'see' the device from Windows Explorer copy the Fire Nexus zip to Internal Storage

- if you can't see the device try transferring via "adb push <file_ID>". Do NOT try to ADB sideload the ROM

- if the ROM transfered successfully access the advanced wipe menu in TWRP and wipe System, Data, Dalvik and Cache partitions (just those four). Then install the Nexus ROM via normal TWRP procedure. If it completes successfully reboot device to see if the ROM boots

- if the above is successful STOP. Post back results and wait for further guidance. Keep in mind aboot and recovery are still 'wrong' so there is more work to be done. But at least some of that can be done from the comfort of a working ROM.

There is a very good chance the above will not work (notice all the 'if's). That said, sometimes it's worth taking a safe longshot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
I tried to flash the rom you linked to

got this error:

Can't install this package (date info) over newer build (date info)

Update process ended with ERROR: 7 (in red letters)

error installing zip file (name of file)

done

* I am followed the instructions. I even asked you to simplify to ensure I was doing the right thing.

You keep assuming that what you do and how it works for you is the same for me. It is not the same for me.

It simply does not work the way you think it should work. I can't seem to get into fastboot mode for whatever reason.

The reason I kept asking about Miflash is due to the fact that is how everyone else said they fixed their unit. If I flashed the wrong files then one would think if you flash the right files it would fix the problem. In fact the exact thing happened to others and Draxie provided the oddball files.

The idea of this community it to HELP people and not assume that everyone is a Dev...yes, being here does not mean one is a total novice...I am not.

Don't you see something wrong when you have NUMEROUS links/posts/threads with bits and pieces of how to unbrick this tablet...there are links to files people need that are missing. The OP or anyone else could not fix the links to working files. How does that help anyone? How many other people messed up or gave up?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
The techniques being used are somewhat advanced. XDA contributions are voluntary (by all) and consume considerable time with little personal return. I simply lack the resources to provide hands-on support to everyone who comes looking for help. I do try to personalize responses to the situation at hand but rely heavily on parties following directions. Happy to provide clarifications when requested.

The broken links you reference are from a member who fell off the radar without explanation. I often wonder what happened and wish him/her & family well.

I'm going to step away as all required material is available in the XDA forums. Yes, it is tedious to wade through - something I have done on your behalf on several occasions over the past few days. Perhaps your device is unsalvageable; me thinks not. The path forward is not entirely clear and will likely be iterative with numerous failures and successes.

Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
Don't waste your time...

I've had a few rounds of PMs over a course of several days about this

and I'm convinced that the device is recoverable, but the main problem

is not with the Kindle. The owner is much too "advanced", which seems

to hamper their ability to listen, follow instructions, and answer questions

making remote "support/help" close to impossible.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] droiduzr2:
It's funny, I answered your questions and I even posted back with the results. I provided you with screen caps so you can see the results and all you ended up was saying I don't follow directions. Maybe your directions are not as clear or helpful as you presume.

I read every page of this thread a few times plus other threads and there were a few other people that were treated this way.

People even wrote they do not speak English well...instead of walking them through with CLEAR steps...they were ridiculed in a similar fashion to which some were never able to fix device. I thought part of the fun of this community is the challenge of fixing a device...maybe that's just me.

There are 15+ pages of this thread and still neither of you could have contacted the OP to provide the files he is missing since his links are broken for the Apollo files. I have been on several device forums and this is by far the worse. All you have to do is look at ALL the links provided to SEVERAL other PARTS of other threads to piece together a solution...yeah...seems logical and organized. Other threads, the knowledgeable people would have seen the errors of the support and simply spent 5 minutes to provide the proper files and be done instead of providing half directions while INSULTING the person trying to fix a problem. I guess it makes some people feel better ridiculing than helping.

* It was funny reading the post in this thread about the fastboot cable debate.

Even 2 "experts" can't agree on the validity of said cable.

If anyone else can help me fix this tablet please pm me and we can discuss via pm. If I fix it then I will post up the info with the files.

Treat others as you would want to be treated especially in a time of help...karma...

Have a great day/evening:highfive::highfive::cool:

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabbyTabGuy:
Hi guys,

I've been using Linux Deploy on my Gaslaxy Tab (GT-P5220) for a while now, however have only just deviced to give it a go on an Ext4 partition on my SD card, which works great!

I'm wanting to back up EVERYTHING in this partition, so as, in the event something goes wrong, I can simply re-partition/format my SD card and transfer the data across, and hopefully start up my Linux without any fuss.

Anyone able to suggest the best way of doing this?

Cheers!

[Mogul, XV6800 General] squeaks:
is there a way to connect to vision, then allow a device to use the data connection to the internet, like an access point? i've used usbmodem to bluetooth with my macbook pro and surf the web on my computer. the results were amazing... fast, quick surfing. so what i want to do, again, is connect to vision, and using the built-in wifi, connect an internet device, like a nokia internet tablet, or something else with wi-fi. any way to do that?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] dragon_76:
To my knowledge, that has to be implemented at an OS level and it's not. Microsoft has been pressured by carriers to remove functionality like that, not implement it.
[Android Head-Units] Kaboom22:
I'm trying to get root on the Avin Avant 2, but unfortunately i've been unsuccessfull despite extensive reading of this fine website. The Specs for the device are as follows:

Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean)

Dual Core 1.7Ghz CPU ARMv71

Mali-400MP GPU

Hardware Device Type "Cedric"

My model is the universal unit from avinusa (site down at the time of posting) . Factory options can be accessed with Code "0000" and i've enabled developer options. Allow Unknown Sources is enabled so i can load whatever APK i need via the inernet or flash drive

Things i've tried to get root:

Framaroot, KingRoot, TowelRoot and numerous other Rooting APK Tools - All Failed

RootMyAN21U - Won't install, probably due to signing

Attempting a USB connection - Won't work, i suspect the client mode connection is on the motherboard somewhere.

The unit appears to be vulnerable to all three MasterKey exploits and i've seen other units successfully rooted, so i think it's definitely possible. i've extracted the Settings, SettingsProvider and framework-res Apk's from the device as i've seen these being used as signing sources on other threads.

If someone could rework somthing like RootMyAN21U for me to try with the files i have provided, that would be great! I am open to any other sugestions (or detailed tutorials so i can help myself). A donation is available to whoever provides the solution!

[Android Head-Units] Flemischguy:
it has already root...

For owners of the AVIN Avant-2 unit there is a new software update available. Email tommy for the download link and password.

Software update for the BMW AVIN Avant-2 Update 09-09-2015

Change log:

1. Added ROOT access and SUPERUSER

2. Added EasyConnect app for Mirrorlink support for Android 5.0 phones and AirPlay support without the need of the AirPin app.

3. Removed a lot of apps from the pre_install_apps.zip file making the update process a lot faster. The removed apps are now placed in the optional_app.zip file in the link below.

You can add or remove your choice of app from the pre_install_apps.zip before running the update.

4. Increased userdata partition to 1524MB

And so on...

[Android Head-Units] kimme1024:
Hi All!

I have the same unit in my car.

But the system is laggy and worst of all I'm having a huge BT-echo at the other side of the line which makes it impossible to have a decent call.

Also android 4.1.1 isn't really supported by the newest app-updates like iCoyote.

Smaller problems:

- System does recognize my iPod but it won't play any music from it

- The radio app shuts down every 10-ish minutes of use

- The status bar on top isn't useful at all and only uses up screenspace that i'd rather use for navigation like Waze.

Conclusion:

It "works" but that's about it.

Question:

Would it be possible to install a more recent version of android which uses the hardware more efficiently and makes the system more stable while keeping the most important functions (obviously).

I've contacted Avin Europe (as I live in Belgium) and Tommy from AvinUSA about this problem but sadly they didn't offer a solution. Even worse, they didn't even reply to me since the end of March.

No solution with Meizu. Don't unlock the phone and if you try to flash an rom from SP Flash Tool you need an "auth" file for flash it.

BTW, TWRP has a hard time making back ups because of the new messed up storage settings. It doesn't let me back up to the external SD card. I did a back up to the internal, but after that TWRP could find it. Any fixes?
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Keep the SD card as portable storage. Don't format it to work as internal. Only then you would be able to backup to your SD card.

Doubt about backup

Hello, I am new to XDA and have been doing some reading about rooting and unlocking bootloader. I understood the process well (I have actually done it for my previous phone, so I know a bit about these). However, you have mentioned about doing a nandroid backup of my device. I searched a lot about that, and it happens to require rooting. Is there another way possible to back-up all the data, including apps and app-data (these are the most important as all my media is stored on my microSD card) without rooting? Many back-up apps seem to require rooting.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Just transfer all images, songs and other data to SD card. You can backup apk of your apps so you don't have to download them again.

However a nandroid backup is seemingly the only way to restore total phone data.
