Hi,

I got a couple of fire tablets and rooted them all in order to install playstore Apps for testing purposes.

However, all graphics look kind of "irregular" - a circle is noncircular and this is the case for all apps, also amazon native ones.

Anybody having the same problems with super-tool-ed fire devices?

The Kindle Fire has a rather shabby resolution - so its looks very fuzzy. I wonder whether this is only the case on rooted devices or also with stock amazon Bellini without root.

Regards
[Huawei Ascend G6] washichi:
just download the firmware you need and force update, here are the steps:

(if you can/have your bootloader unlocked & you can unstall U10 or L11 roms then download the U10 slimstock, or L11 deodexed rom)

- download G6 knife (pinned post in the facebook group)

- open G6 knife > download offical U10 rom (if you had android 4.3 before your problem then download 4.3, if you had 4.4 download 4.4kitkat)

- format your sd, place the downloaded firmware on your sd:

SD/dload/update.zip (or SD:/HwOUC/update.zip depends if you are on android 4.3 or 4.4)

- insert sd and try to boot up your phone (without cable attached)

- if nothing happens open G6 knife again and boot your phone into fastboot and attach it to pc

- use G6 knife program to boot into recovery ( or do it with adb) (or hold vol+ power)

- select install zip from sd, select the update,

you can download g6 knife here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/huaw...2401503919107/

you can do all of this without G6 Knife, but this tool makes it alot easier cause you don't have to look for files or commands

[General Questions and Answers] RidzVarn:
Hi everyone,

I just want to share about this Lenovo S856 LTE rom. Yesterday, I have accidentally uninstall 1 system app which is I do not know if it will make this device bricked and it is IDEA.apk and some themes app. Before that, I have also root this device using kingroot and all work fine as it should. Spent all night trying to find best solution as the device won't booting and just stuck at bootanimation and ended with blackscreen. Since this is my first time using this model, I also don't know it's quiet complicated to flash new ROM with QPST softwares.

But thanks to whoever who compiled this Lenovo s856 rom into 1 flashable file ( QSB file ). It's huge than normal ROM I ever found, it was 1.5 GB and I did successfully recover my device after several attempt and findings.

Firstly, download ROM - I can't include ext links here as I'm still new :angel:, you can find the rom Lenovo_S856_ROW_S138_141113 from google drive. Using IDM would be great to download this 1.1GB zip file.

2. Enter recovery mode by pressing Vol + and Vol - together and press Power button and reset device to its factory. ( format data/cache)

3. Reboot again and now enter Service Mode by pressing Vol - and Power button. There is 13 options available and selecting them using volume button and power button is for OK.

4. Choose number 5 ( factory reset ) and number 6 ( erase user data ) this is necessary as I tried once skipping this option and device keep rebooting non stop. I'm not sure what makes it rebooting and rebooting. :confused: maybe caches or dalvik not wiped completely using recovery wipe method.

5. Choose number 8, ( backup MRD data ) and next number 10 ( Save Parameter ) to backing up modem files into your external SD card.

[Edit] 6. Once you got your download file ready, extract it into your PC or directly to your sdcard ( external sd ).

7. Create a 'new folder' in sdcard and rename it to 'sdfuse' and copy .qsb ROM file you extracted earlier into sdfuse folder. So the path will be /sdcard1/sdfuse/romfile.qsb

And now, reboot into service mode. Now choose number 4 ( SD update ) and let's it do it work, flashing will take about 5 minutes.

and REBOOT! :D

Now, let see if you're having any issue e.g stuck at boot, please repeat the process once again and I'm sure it will fix.

And if phone not detecting your SIMcard. please boot into Service Mode and choose number 11 ( Load Parameter ) and REBOOT.

Good Luck! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Low ram issue on my s856

Hi mate thanks for the info, i have td-lte model i think is cn set. I have problem with low ram issue, my free ram always below 300mb which causing game auto quit eg. Coc, boombeach. It started auto quit when free ram reach below 150mb. Need restart phone to restore free ram above 300mb then can run game but after a few play the game auto quit again, also having problem keyboard not display in game due to low ram. I find out that the vibe ui is consume alot of ram than non vibe, example open setting it consume about 66mb of ram, with non vibe from lenovo a536 just used 23mb of ram. Now im root and disable unimportant system app to free up more 300mb ram just to get some game run. When compare mine s856 without app running with a536, mine will get average 350mb(heavily system app disable)free ram but a536 without app easily get 550mb free ram. Any solution? Or how to downgrade to non vibe.

Need for MRD and Parameters data backup.

[General Questions and Answers] RidzVarn:
Hi Luigi,

Apparently, I'm not very sure if my S856 is China Set or not ( but well.. specs are same with yours though ). You can try to restore this MRD and Parameters backup files onto your phone.

Backup your own modem files first and copy paste them into separate folder ( e.g : 'sdfuse-backup' ) in case something going wrong.

Download here ( Google Drive )

Good Luck :)
[General Questions and Answers] LC74:
Hi RidzVarn,

sorry for the late reply. Actually I managed to take those files out from a stock Chinese ROM, but simply saving/restoring them through the Service Menu doesn't do the job. I guess there are other file and settings in /system and/or in other partitions that are needed in order to make modem working.

In the end, I just reflashed a Chinese ROM flashing also GApps and SuperSU through TWRP, and I'm fine with the result.

I'd like to thank you, however, for your efforts to help me in sorting the issue out -- it was very kind of you.

Best wishes,

Luigi

Please try to:

pull the battery out;

wait 20-30 seconds;

plug the battery in;

plug the USB cable to the PC end only;

and keeping pressed Volume-Down...;

... plug also the microUSB connector to the phone;

release the Volume Down after 3-5 seconds;

check via Device Manager if a 'Bulk' interface has been detected.

If not, retry the same procedure but keep pressing the Volume-Up, this time

.

If the Bulk interface got detected by Windows, use the MiFlash tool to flash your favourite firmware again.

Remember to disable the Windows' 'Driver Signature Enforcement' at the boot-up, and disable also any Host-IPS and Antivirus running on your machine.

Hope this can help.

Hi Pjajiro,

Where did u put that .qsb file? Actually, you have to create a 'new folder' in your sdcard root and rename it to 'sdfuse' and put the ROM qsb file in it. And try again. [emoji1]

My apologies, I have forgot to include that step in this thread, and will edit the line asap.

If you still get the same error, then it might be caused from ROM itself. Maybe its not for your device.

[General Questions and Answers] LC74:
Hi Prajiro, does your phone has a golden back cover, and/or did it come with a chinese stock firmware? Does the label on the original box show chinese characters?

We need to understand first if your unit is a Chinese one (said 'PRC' or 'CN' model) or an International one (ROW, that stands for Rest Of the World).

If you flash a ROW firmware on a PRC unit, or the other way around, you'll end up with a messed (or sometimes a bricked) device.

We also need to understand whether the device is still alive or not (I bet it is). Please follow step-by-step directions from my post #13 on this very thread, and tell us if your PC does recognize the device in any way (no matter if you can load the appropriate driver):

[General Questions and Answers] Prajiro:
Thanks Luigi for your continuous help. The device is got a silver back cover and the label and box is written in Chinese I think on a CN. I've tried, but the system no longer recognise the device.
[General Questions and Answers] LC74:
It is quite strange, because this kind of devices based of Qualcomm chipsets are unbrickable, since messing with the firmware should not impair the recovery ability offered by those low-level operating modes.

Did you try to switch USB ports, or using a different USB cable? If neither these attempts work, then I would assume the device is somewhat defective, so you may try to return it to the seller.

I'm sorry to give you such hopeless advice but, with no Bulk USB mode and with no Recovery Menu available, honestly I cannot figure out other attempts to revive the phone.

So sorry. :(

Does you guys having low ram issue? Mine need to tweak kernel every time reboot or no game able to start properly due to low ram. Currently the max i can free is 350-400mb, and it happen only sometime. Need reboot everytime to get high free ram.
[General Questions and Answers] LC74:
Oh boy, it doesn't work that way. Android (which is based on a Linux kernel) and any other modern operating system does process caching, so it loads preemptively services ad apps in background, making them faster to start when invoked, leaving just a tenth of MB free (I mean, actually free). That cached RAM will be freed instantaneously as soon as another non-cached app will request computational resources to start and work. By tweaking the kernel forcing to keep a certain amount of RAM free, you disallow the very same process (game or whatsoever) you wish to launch accessing that amount, pushing the process into a race for resources in the residual RAM amount accessible to user-space apps. In other words, if you have 1 GB RAM and ask kernel to keep always free 600 MB, your preferred app will contend the remaining 400 MB to the system and other apps, and not will run in the 600 MB you reserved for... for doing nothing. RAM is there to be used, not to be spared, and the memory manager is more aware than me and you regarding the best way to maximize RAM usage efficiency.

My advice? Don't touch the kernel. Revert to the stock settings. Mine runs fine any single game on the Store without a glitch. If your doesn't, then the problem is elsewhere.

Cheers.
