[Amazon Fire Phone] blackroseblade:
I'm starting to lose hope here. I bought the Fire Phone in hopes of getting good hardware for cheap with decent software. But while I did know the Fire Phone's bootloader was locked and still limited to 4.4, I did not expect such complete apathy and lack of communication from Amazon for at least half an year by now.

It is utterly baffling to think that a company with Amazon's resources and scale is working with such a small team that it's taking them half an year just to port Android 5 to their first and only cell phone. Or over one and a half years, if we go by the official Android 5 release date.

One must question, what sort of future do they believe they're building for themselves here? Is this how they go out in the mobile market, with a whimper? Sure the Fire Phone failed commercially and the reception to the software was not that great, but is this really how they want to respond to the people that *DID* buy their phones? Does a 172 million dollar write-off sting that much to Jeff Bezos and his execs that they will cut all support for it and ironically, leave the current owners out in the cold without even a bootloader unlock? Or are they still under some sort of delusion that they can turn this around by providing a software update for a phone that's been off the market for 1.5 years with an update that is 2 generations and 2 years late? A software update moreover, that people do not really want, as compared to the ability to run other software? Is this pure spite then?

What is possibly going on through Jeff Bezos and Amazon's strategic team's head? Does brand value and market perception mean anything to them? OnePlus also was new to the market in 2014. The One was also another company's first phone. But the OnePlus One team managed to achieve such legendary cult status with their first phone, and they did that by hitting all the right notes with the developers and consumers, not by going against them and trying to lock them into a paywall garden where your only permitted wants were to buy Amazon's products and have their phone turn into a glorified Amazon check-out tab.

Such stellar hardware rotting away behind the ancient Android 4.X family and a company that refuses to say anything to its customers and a company leader that is not willing to accept criticism of his company's corporate culture, far less accept the Fire Phone's current situation graciously and direct his company to release our bootloader unlock codes. Complete waste. Such a travesty.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Preaching to the choir...

With those numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if they let it r.i.p. They followed through with some security updates and minor bug fixing but if they would release Fire OS 5.x, they "kinda" have to admit to maintaining it as well and that is unlikely.

(They actually could redeem themselves a little bit by dropping the idiotic 3D UI, etc. and own their past mistakes but that's also nothing more than wishful thinking.)

They would never hand over the source / release a bootloader unlock. For them it's: protect your "assets" at all times.

It would reveal too much and they would be forced to take a different approach to secure their devices in the future.

[Amazon Fire Phone] dbpaddler:
I'm sorry, but comparing to OPO makes no sense. They're in the business to make and se phones. Amazon is in business to push overall sales of their store, and the phone was to be a conduit for it. Two completely different business models. Not that I disagree with the rest. At least own up to the failure and let those that did buy into it have the best device it can be.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apoplectic1:
I'm trying to restore a backup on my phone, and it's stalled at 27% for the last 30 minutes and wont move. Is there a way to reboot the recovery and try to wipe and reflash a ROM or something?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
TWRP sometimes does that. It gets really hot too. What I do is just use the hardware keys and manually reboot into recovery. If I were you just wipe the whole phone and attempt to restore again. You shouldn't have any issues the second time around.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apoplectic1:
Wiping and then restoring didn't work, stalled in the same place. Wiping, reflashing the ROM and then restoring did for whatever reason.

Thanks for tip!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
Since rooted phones can't take OTA's, we have special considerations before updating. (flash/wipe/then recover ... ). Google restores a lot but I've discovered not many system or app settings. TWRP makes full backups, but if your data is full of pics and videos there's not enough available space for backups.

I have Titanium Backup Pro but I'm not sure 'when' to use it for recovery. Individual app restores sure, but what about a complete restore? After a flash and boot, should I bypass the Google setups, install TiB, and restore with that? Will that give me a 100% restored device (all system and app settings)?

Will this work? Is there a better strategy? Or is it impossible to get 100% recovery.

Insight/ Advice are appreciated.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
Can't systemless root take OTAs?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
From my limited understanding ... no! Any boot, recovery, or system mods cause OTAs to fail when trying to apply. Getting AP working is a different issue.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
since i'm not comfortable using command line programs i find myself using NRT when an update is due. in the end it's just a graphical frontend with some instructions but it makes me feel more secure.

enough rambling, your question is answered in one of the FAQs in wugs homepage:

following that link, i mostly find my self making complete backups with TiBa and then following option #1 for smaller updates and #2 for bigger ones.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
Thanks for the valuable info. It appears a full restore (all system settings) is impossible after an upgrade/update. Maybe restoring app data with a TiBackup is possible, but I'm still confused about the 'when' to do this - after the Google restore? Bypass the Google restore?

I recently moved away from Apple where their update/upgrade restore was almost 100%. Maybe some day Google will follow and this will be a moot point. :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
google is certainly impoving on that part, it's only a matter of time until this kind of backup is fully implemented.

if you took a look at the link, you may have realised that at least with option 1 you would not have to go through the setup/restore process again.

in my case, i usually go for the restore option given, as it restores some of the system settings in a compatible way, which TiBa can not as already said.

another option, to carry over all of your settings to the update is to:

make a full backup with TiBa

unroot/reflash your current build (if you are using NRT choose 'no wipe mode' similar to the description in the FAQ. this way you don't have to restore anything and can ignore the next step.)

restore your full backup without fear of compatibility issues(never mind, can't restore system settings without root. stupid me.)

take OTA or trigger the update otherwise

in this case it would of course be pretty much useless to restore the google backup.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
I checked out Option #1 and the rest of NRT for that matter. In fact I have NRT installed. What is does mostly depends upon stock and I have Pure Nexus. In addition, it's a toolkit. Toolkits isolate users from an "understanding" of the process. However, it's the understanding that is necessary to have a fully integrated backup/restore process and to respond to issues/problems that may arise. Bottom line, I don't use toolkits.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
ok then, i thought your switch to android was very recent and therefore you had very little experience. indeed toolkits are in the way of a learning curve when it comes to android.

to my knowledge the closest thing you can get to a full backup/restore process for manual updates is to use the google backup to restore the system settings and use TiBa to restore your own (user)apps and data (possibly overwriting the apps google may have tried to restore/-install). with pure nexus afaik being very close to stock using the tag to not wipe user data should in theory still work without causing problems.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
If I understand correctly, do you recommend allowing Google to restore everything it wants, then running TiB restore after that?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
yes, basically. i would still be cautious when it comes to sms/mms and make a copy of every important file on the sdcard aswell.

the only problem i ever encountered this way was with whatsapp, which i had to reinstall and then manually move over its folder on the sd card from the previous installation.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
I have a separate app for call logs and SMS/text messages. I'll use it!

I always have everything on /sdcard backed up .... It's just those darn system/app settings that are missing. Oh well, thanks for your help. Think I've come a little closer to a full 100% restore.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ING3NIEUR:
Just follow #10 from Heisenberg's rooting guide & your apps/data stay intact.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
That's the easy part! Restoring app settings and all of system settings is the hard part :)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ING3NIEUR:
As long as you follow the guide and don't wipe your phone, then there's no need to restore your apps/settings. They should still be there on your phone. The only thing you have to restore is TWRP/root.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
If a flash update is performed, do you still restore TWRP/root? I would think not as it would overwrite the newly flashed update and likely make the system unstable in the least or unbootable at the worst!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ING3NIEUR:
If you are rooted, your phone will not take an OTA update. So you have two options....flash the new factory image or wait for somebody to upload a flashable update zip. The easiest way is to just download and flash the new factory image. If you follow the guide, you are also flashing stock recovery. So, you have to re-flash TWRP and root. Your data/apps stay intact.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
Thanks for you input, but after all this, at the least many system settings are lost even after Google does it's full restore. I know, I've done it many times. I'm looking for a process/strategy that restores system settings (and all data settings) after an upgrade.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Automator:
Im very confused by this whole thread you have unlocked bootloader rooted phone running twrp and wondering how to stay up to date with latest google factory images?

You dont have to backup your phone to install the factory images and you can flash the new one over the current one. You can simply download the latest factory image from google and manually flash the files from fastboot or use the flashall.bat. just make sure to edit the flash allscript so it doesn't flash userdata or recovery as the flashing of userdata will delete your user data)

Flash the following from the factory image. Dont flash recovery or userdata (recovery will over write twrp and userdata will wipe your data partition.

Boot.img

Cache.img

System.img

Vendor.img

Radio.img

Then boot into recovery and reinstall su.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mesmurized:
No. Please re-read post #1.

I want to restore all system and app settings AFTER a flash update. It is possible to retain many (most) app settings if the internal storage is not wiped, but this does not apply to system settings.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Automator:
Updates modify the system partition of the phone i have found that using titanium backup to restore system apps has always caused issues for me as the files have been modified by the update and you are then overwriting the update with settings from a previous version this can make settings copied incorrectly or cause issues with new features that have been implemented to the system partition. Personally I think it could create more issues than it solves is there a specific setting or thing you are trying to preserve?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incarceration:
I've looked everywhere, both here and around the web, and haven't found any solid discussions about this, other than 1 short one on Reddit.

What is the current solution or progress on resolution for this?

I am trying to export a 240FPS slow-mo video I took on my Nexus 6P, with audio, and either completely normal throughout the entire video or with the selection of where I want it to be slow-mo. The most I've gotten was the ENTIRE video slow-mo, without audio.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:
I've been trying to find a solution to this as well. Seems to be a issue with the gallery software not exporting/saving the certain slow motion sections. Talked to Google but didn't get anywhere. Probably was talking to the wrong department. I can't seem to find the contact info for the camera app either.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I just mmade a test and was able to get 240 FPS exported - ran on my laptop, with full slow-mo and audio. Didn't do anything special - just connected the phone and played it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:
Did you have certain parts in slow motion? Not the full video in slow motion?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No, like the others, it was full video slow motion. I even installed photos and tried to export, but that didn't work.

Well I exported it also to Dropbox, but it was the full video in slow-mo, with sound.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:
I also tried that as well. No luck. Think we just need to find an alternative camera or gallery app that will save the slow motion parts.

I was able to export a video with selected slow mo segments [MENTION=353015]240[/MENTION]fps. After shooting the video I went to photos.Google.com and downloaded the video from there. I didn't think it was possible but was surprised by the result.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enaybee:
^ this

So far only way this has worked for me is to export the video to google photos first. This is the only place that reads the selected slo-mo parts correctly. I read somewhere that uploading to youtube also works similarly but never checked so can't say that it works 100%.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
Can I ask how you make only a specific part slow-mo on the phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericksco:
after taking the video play it and you should see a slider bar with 2 triangles above. The triangles signify the start and end of the slow mo segment. You can drag both triangles to adjust the length and desired segment of the video.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incarceration:
Thanks for all of the responses guys!

I have a 7 second video, that I recorded in 240FPS, and whenever I try to export to Google Photos, 1) there isn't an option to export to Google Photos, considering I'm in Google Photos to begin with. and 2) If I try exporting to YouTube, the preview of the video, before I even upload, is 50 seconds long, and entirely in Slow Mo, with audio.

I slid both triangle sliders to one side so the video is entirely at normal speed, yet whenever, and where ever i try to export, it's entirely Slow Mo.

What am I doing wrong or should I do differently?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incarceration:
This isn't an option, as there aren't any other third party camera apps that have the quality, after taking the photo (exposure adjustment mostly), or more importantly, 120\240 FPS support.

I've tried using ProShot, but that app doesn't support 120\240 FPS.

And I don't know of any other gallery app other than Google Photos to use that'll allow post manipulation like Google Photos.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subiegsr:
I'll try google photos out. Youtube only does all slow motion, I tried it in the past.

Hmm, that sucks. I'll keep looking and will update if I find anything that works for export.
