[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgiant:
I currently am trying to install CM12.1 onto my Amazon Fire 7, but unfortunately, it looks like I may have messed up in the process (I am stuck with the Amazon logo re-looping every ~15-20 seconds). I am able to go into the safe recovery mode, so I assume I haven't bricked the device completely, but I was wondering, what exactly is the best way to flash CM12.1 onto this device?

There seems to be an excessive amount of information, but very little organization, so would love to hear what the "best" steps would be to get CM12.1 on this bad boy.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paula.eskaros:
I don't have the device yet but from what i read you need to tell us more info like what was your amazon v. 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 and how you install cm by TWRP or flash fire
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabuboy:
it will all depend on the version you have, but here you will find most info.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgiant:
So I went ahead and installed the original firmware (5.1.1), but now am wondering where do I go from here. I have the device rooted and installed Flashify, but I am not sure how to install TWRP for 5.1.1, as I was using Rootjunky's .bat file.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownster:
You can't install TWRP on 5.11, if you want to flash roms you have to use FlashFire now.

This is due to the 5.11 ota update including a bootloader update which removes the ability to fastboot boot.

Just follow the instructions to install CM 12.1 and wait for it to boot.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgiant:
Yeah, so I just found that out few seconds ago. I tried to flash and install CM, but after the reboot, it just goes back to the FireOS "Optimizing system storage and applications..." screen, no idea what I am doing wrong...

I am also wiping everything too before I flash the CM and GAPPS zip files
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abacabie:
I would be very careful using flashfire if your coming from fire os 5.1.1, we cannot use TWRP and a few people(myself included) have lost access to Amazon recovery, if you get stuck in a boot loop you have no way to recover your device, your best bet is to wait to see if a more secure way appears of flashing a device that has been using fire os 5.1.1.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgiant:
I have no idea what you are talking about. You can most certainly reflash the Amazon firmware when you are stuck in the boot cycle by transferring the file from ADB (after holding volume down + power for more than 10 seconds), and than restart the device, and you are back to FireOS 5.1.1.

I have already went ahead and Flashed SlimLP, and so far so good, it seems fine to me, I guess I'll have to wait and see how stable it is.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Glad it worked well for you. Not everyone has been so fortunate. One persons favorable experience does not equate to everyone. Some of those impacted are veteran users who 'lost' devices testing out code and techniques that you are now benefiting from.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abacabie:
If you read my post properly i said " lost access to Amazon recovery" , there is no way to transfer the file from ADB as ADB is not there, due to the fact that there is no Amazon recovery, holding volume down + power does nothing, if you look around the forum you will see this has happened to a few people myself included .
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekrakah:
He's talking about how his device got buggered from a dirty Rom load. In his case and for a few others, they've lost the option to sideload back to stock.

Anyway here's the bare minimum process, since it sounds like you've gone through the details parts of Rom loading before.

#1 restore to stock rom 5.1.1

#2 install SuperSU/Root

#3 install flashfire

#4 install CM/SlimLP and Gapps (pico, micro, mini) of your choice, and your done.

When I put CM on my 5.1.1 Fire device, I installed flashfire.apk manually, used open Gapps pico, and the CM 12-30-2015 image.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgiant:
Gotcha, didn't know there was level of increments the relooping represented. Well either way, hopefully something gets developed to all the "hard-bricked" users.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pan.droid:
I'm sure this question has probably been answered, somewhere, but it's proven impossible for me to find locate a definitive answer. There are so many different variables.

For the love of all that is good, would somebody please lay it on me: am I SOL or is there some slim ray of hope that I can downgrade my device so that I can use Towelroot? This latest time I've found a little new material so dumped 3 hours chasing down dead ends to no avail.

There are so many half assed or antiquated tutorials out there, many of which weren't carried out by their creators or they'd have found they missed a step. One points to chainfire downloads but the 870A is not supported. Geh.

Thanx for whatever help you can give me!

The at&t software is driving me nuts especially the TV remote it's hideous and sits in the background.

Many thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Unfortunately we don't have an experimental firmware to flash on the Active. This is preventing us from developing a reliable and safe rooting method at the moment.

There's a small chance you'll have some success with Kingroot on Lollipop, but (as with all chinese one-click root things) Kingroot is very sketchy and I would factory reset before trying to use it, since it is known to send data to China.

Sorry we can't be of much more help :( The actives have always been significantly harder to root.

I am trying to download an Android app into BlueStacks to test it before I download it to my phone. I have BlueStacks all setup. I can search and open app's in BlueStacks like the 1st screen capture shows. I tap the install button and the next screen capture pops up. See the blue line with the red box around it? The blue line scroll's but that's it. The prog sits that way for hours, not doing anything other then the blue line scrolling. I must be doing something wrong in the install or something in BlueStacks isn't setup right.

I tried to insert my screen capture jpg pictures and I get the following error message bellow. Would you kindly tell me how I am to post my pictures that are need for this post when I am new here?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
I received the download on my 5x that's rooted. Will this break root for me?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg1906:
Yes but you can easily re-root after re-installing TWRP
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosbeest:
I don't get this answer. I'm not able to install the security update on my rooted 5X, it reboots into TWRP and after I manually boot to system nothing happened. Tried it 3 times and still have root access.

Is the only way to get the security update by flashing an entire Android image? Or more specifically, can I update without wiping the phone?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bg1906:
Yeah OTA isn't going to work. You need to manually do it. You will need USB Drivers and ADB/Fastboot files. Create a folder on your desktop called Android and put the ADB files there. Now download the image. The image is an archive file. Extract the contents of archive files (there is one archive inside the original archive file you download), and after you have all the files extracted, modify the flash-all file (.bat if you are on Windows) with a text editor (Notepad) to remove the -w and save. This will prevent a wipe of your device. Connect your phone via USB and reboot to the bootloader. Open the folder you are in and if on Windows hold shift and right click and select Open Command Prompt. This will open a Command Prompt Window at the folder's location. Next type the command fastboot devices and press Enter. If everything is right, a device id will be returned. If that works, then go back to the folder and double click the flash-all.bat (Windows) and this will install the update. Root will be lost as will TWRP recovery. After the install, the phone will attempt to reboot. I always stop the reboot and go back to bootloader. Choose Recovery and go to the default recovery. You will see an Android figure with a red X. Simultaneously press the power and volume up & down buttons together repeatedly until you get the recovery menu (this may take a few times). Wipe Cache. Then reboot and you will have the update. You can then reinstall the latest version of TWRP by going to the TWRP website and downloading the latest version of TWRP. I usually put it in the same folder as the Android files and when it downloads rename it to twrp.img. Make sure you are in the bootloader and then at the command prompt all you need type is fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and this will install TWRP. You can then go to TWRP and flash SuperSU. I use the latest beta 2.66. But read here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3) for the details on the various versions of SuperSU Beta. *I take no responsibility for what may/may not happen to your phone as that depends on your level of comfort flashing/rooting etc*

Hope this helps. IF the flash-all gives you an error, you will need to flash the various parts of the update individually. If that happens, follow the instructions here for the update: https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-get-android-m-preview

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Couldn't find it anywhere with Google which btw somehow returns mostly Nexus 5 results even when using "nexus 5x"...

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
Yes please let me know how this goes
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomyk89:
Download the factory image and extract boot.img, system.img, and vendor.img. Nothing changed in the bootloader or radio with this update, so you do not need those.

Then, run the following:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Then reboot into TWRP and flash SuperSu again.

Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot into system.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch.ch1:
Does this wipe data?

Not true- the -w flag will wipe userdata when flashing other partitions.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch.ch1:
Im not so good at this...

So I just copy the 3 img files to the same folder adb is installed and I run the 4 commands? Do I have to install TWRP again? Do I have to root again?

I did the command "adb reboot bootloader" which rebooted my phone in the bootloader home page, but when I did the next command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" I got the msg "<waiting for any devices>"
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Keep this guide by Heisenberg for reference, it is very helpful when updating firmware or returning to stock. You want to refer to section 10 to update via fastboot.

If going from MMB29P to MMB29Q OTA, flash in fastboot: boot, system, and vendor. Radio and bootloader are unchanged if you are using MMB29P. Recovery does not need to be flashed since you want to keep TWRP.

Yes, you will need to root again in TWRP.

A new startup company has come up with a great way to search and play online videos.

Download PPC version onto my Tytn and it works a treat!!

Try it from... http://www.vtap.com/
[General Topics] maevro:
Cool, thanks.
[General Topics] Demens:
Okay. This is cool.

- Has one of them "as you type" searchbars for video and wikipedia. Type in "kitten" and it shows in nanoseconds all the relative stuff about kittens.

- Really fast, as from software point and in downloading videos.

- Seems to have gazillion video sites.

- Plays videos really smooth. Has different quality settings and an audio only mode. (Tested with Wizard)

- Background and playlist mode for video downloading. Good if you're using cellular networks.

It does have few bugs and it doesn't really have a way to list videos like "top 10 from youtube", instead it shows a list of some news, sports and political stuff on the search page by default.

They also seem to be planning a java version for the functionally challenged phones

Brilliant piece of software.

Just one thing I noted immediately after its installation.

1) I tried to install this on the storage card. But it actually installed in the programs folder of the main memory.

2) After I installed this software I keep getting the sound I have associated with the event "Connection Established" ever few seconds though actual connection does not take place. As a fix I have disabled any sound for the event "Connection Established". Anyone else noticed this. My device is the HTC Touch.
