[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
You have tried holding Power and Volume-up buttons to see if you can boot to recovery? If that doesn't work, you are unrecoverably hard-bricked and just wearing yourself out trying methods designed for other devices:

* Fastboot cable doesn't work with Fire HD.

* There's no unbricking tool for the Fire HD

If still under warranty, contact Amazon for replacement. If not under warranty, used Fire HDs are going for as low as $30: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...iguration=all&mv_digital_storage_capacity=all
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yurais:
Boss, are you sure the fastboot cable wont work with the fire HD 6 / 7 ?

if you are 100% sure of this I will stop right now looking for a way to fix mine, which is stuck at recovery.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
100% sure. If you're stuck at OS 4 recovery (no adb sideload option), it can't be fixed. :(
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinturbor:
Piggy backing on this thread, mine goes past the amazon then to the glowing fire logo. I do adb devices and its says it's offline. Can this be fixed?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Doubt it. These devices are almost unfixable if you can't get to the OS, TWRP or OS 5 recovery. It's kind of weird that you get anything from adb devices mid-boot. Exact condition producing "offline" slips my mind atm, but I think it just means you're, uh, offline--not booted. You could see what device manager shows and search for offline.

they also say the hd6 and hd7 are the same thing
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoLooper:
Look, all I know is what little I know. :D You are welcome to try anything. Sometimes people strike luck! But why would want to use a procedure for a 2012 device that has fastboot capability on a 2014 device that doesn't? Believe me, I understand desperation (been there!), but I have yet to see anyone fix a Fire HD with a method designed for a different device.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chadie:
One of the reasons I upgraded to the z5c is the ease of entering a secure code (my fingerprints). If stolen; I want to feel confident that my personal pictures and videos will not be accessed by a beginner or intermediate level hacker until I issue a remote wipe.

Right now I have phone encryption off and as well as sd card encryption. The problem for me with SD card:

it can be removed and plugged into a computer to bypass my phone's security. If my phone suddenly breaks or requires a factory reset; i wont be able to access the sd card data unless I format that too.

if encrypted; I wont be able to plug it into a computer in case I need to.

Increase in battery usage to decrypt and encrypt the data

So until I decide; I'm placing my sensitive data such as IDs and pictures inside the 32gb internal and the others in the sd card. I like to play a lot of audiobooks and mp3s on my phone so I'm having second thoughts in encrypting my sdcard. I'm that paranoid.

What about you guys? how do you secure your phone?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokaaa:
is there now way to access android-encrypted SD data on linux?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enrico2828:
With marshmallow if you use sd card as internal memory sd card is at least not directly readable in another device. I guess since it's not encrypted there are ways to nevertheless access the content. But it's less straight forward.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defier525:
If you go with Android 6, it *is* much more secure if you use the external sd as internal data, as it is always encrypted. And it usually IS readable on the pc as well (at least on Linux) if you have the passphrase, but it depends on if the key is stored in the internal trustzone which cannot be easily read. Have a look at the following article:

http://nelenkov.blogspot.de/2015/06/decrypting-android-m-adopted-storage.html

Oh and by the way: Beginning with Android 5, encryption is always enabled so you don't get any performance impact. Nevertheless, even on much slower devices in previous Android version the encryption had virtually no impact on performance.

Of course, when you use encryption together with the fingerprint scanner you void most security benefits since fingerprint scanners are normally pretty easy to trick.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjb:
I've never had a device running Lollipop that had encryption enabled by default. I had to turn it on.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defier525:
Please note: Even if did not have to assign a password to protect the encryption key, encryption can be still enabled by default. But you are right, actually Google did not enable this on LP but only starting with Marshmellow (they planned to do that for LP already but didn't):

http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/3/8143607/android-lollipop-default-disk-encryption-performance
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vajra_naga:
Fingerprint makes your device less secure. It is purely for convenience.

By enabling the fingerprint reader, it is another possible vulnerability. It can easily be bypassed to pin/pattern/password which means your device is only as secure as that, while adding the vulnerability of the fingerprint scanner implementation. It also has many weaknesses depending on the hardware technology and implementation.

Finally, there is the psychological dimension: because of mistaken understanding of these vulnerabilities , many users' behaviour exacerbates the issue by using weak pin/pattern/password.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alchi_manche:
Not trying to create a issue here and i am sorry if i break any forum rules since i don't really follow the forums very much.

I just need some help cause i think my phone is soft bricked . I don't know what caused the brick because one night i was watching a youtube video on " How to cook that" and then the next morning i wake up and my device doesn't start up .. Its stuck on the Samsung logo. Now before all the people comment on how i should do the recovery thing and all i just want to clarify that i cant get into the recovery option as well and i even tried flashing stock rom quadruple times but odin says PIT partation no found . Now I even tried the pit partation and downloaded the file but odin says reparation error . Now i have searched the internet all over before posting here so here are the list of things that i have already done and havent worked

1) Tried going to recovery

2) Tried flashing a recovery

3)Tried falshing stock rom ( PIT Error)

4) Tried flashing stock rom with the PIT file ( Re-partition error)

5) Used the new original cable for flashing ( I read somewhere that non-original cables tend to not work)

6) Used different ports in the pc ( same thing .. read some where that one port may not work)

7)Tried flashing through three different laptops

8) Used a software called " heimdalloneclick " still didnt work

9) And finally tried praying to god to fix my phone .. still didnt work.

and then i ended up opening a new thread to post my problem ..

now i bought this cellphone about a year and a half ago and was working just fine .. could this be a hardware issue ?? I dont know so please can some1 help me !! Much appreciated . Thank you :) :)

Model no SM-g900h
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lentilek2:
What PIT file did you use? Firmware files differ mainly in size of hidden partition, you may need to use other pit files, some has only 10MB space for hidden partition, some 50, some 100, and some firmware needs even 200MB space for hidden partition, but i couldnt find working PIT file for 200MB.

EDIT: didnt notice you have G900H :P sorry :/ still you can use program PIT MAGIC to enlarge hidden partition using your pit file

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Is your S5 the 32GB version?

If yes, I don't think we have a 32GB PIT file available, if it's the 16GB version, this is the correct PIT file

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2794808&d=1402604385

But DO NOT flash that PIT if it is the 32GB version, or you could end up with a 16GB phone, permanently

Since M$ is taking their sweet @$$ time releasing Deepfish I started looking for a Web Browser that acted like the iPhone. My search resulted with this video . Like what you see? then use this file to make it a reality.

Just a quick note, this program doesn't do an auto connect to your data connection if it's not currently active. You'll have to activate it manually form the Connections Tab under "Settings."
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] raftbone:

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] raftbone:
Bad news. Picsel browser has been licensed only for use with Samsung devices... :-(

Well don't tell my Wing that, because it thinks it's a Samsung!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Nomadturk:
And it's illegal to share that file since it's considered in "Warez" category.

(Like i care, i've every kind of "warez" installed, hehe)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] falconeyez:
Is it really? What's the difference between this file (which isn't available as a stand alone product for sale) and all the other things that gets posted on here? I'm not arguing with you, I just want to know for sure what constitutes as warez and what doesn't.

AWEEEESOMMEEEEE
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Nomadturk:
Well, correct me if i'm wrong but as much as i know, distribution of this program is not legal since it's a products specially coded for/by Samsung. Picsel Browser is not being distributed freely, is it? So, sharing this program is illegal which puts this program in to "warez" status. It's not that a software is warez only when you share a crack or serial along with the release.

As the definition says:

Therefore, sharing this software makes it "warez" since we're violating it's copyright rules.

This is my humble opinion about the matter.

(:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] neptune:
this is a nice program but since development of this program has not been extended to cover windows mobile there are many problems with this browser. My biggest issue with this application when I initially tried it a while back was that it had trouble with forms and authenticating web pages, made it quite difficult to log into some sites. Used as a pdf reader, picture viewer, browsing blogs, and viewing various files it is quite a remarkable program considering how long ago it came out. Would definately sign a petition to get this up and running again...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] R_phAn:
Definitely a neat program! It works fast and convenient. It's true that a lot of html gets screwed up, forms and frames and scripts won't always run as they're supposed to but.. I don't think microsofts standard mobile solution in wm6 is much better on that front. This thing makes webbrowsing fun on mobile phones, I can't say that for Pocket IE.

I do however get this cube thing all the time while playing with sites and images.. strangest thing ever :D
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] falconeyez:
Yeah, the problem there is that this web browser doesn't do an auto connect to your data service. You'll have to launch it manually (Start Menu-Settings-Connections Tab-Connections-Manage Connections-then highlight your data connection and select connect). Hope this helps

Memory Hog

Running it on an 8125 (Wizard) WM5. App over all works great but man is it a ram memory hog. I can start with 15 or 17 mb and after a few minutes of searching the web I am getting messages say to free up some memory so it can proceed. I check it in settings and I am down to 1 or 2%. WOW!! No other programs running in the task manager. Great program just wish it didn't suck the resources dry.....
