[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leoagneau:
Dear all, my Kindle Fire HDX seems frozen after the FireOS update to ver. 5 (I think). There was a notification saying the OS is updated and when I was using Silk to browse the web, it suddenly restarted and it just keep looping the "kindlefire" colour animation indefinitely.

I've contacted with Amazon CS and they suggested me to factory reset it. I tried, but the device still loop in the colour animation screen.

I'm not familiar with ADB but anyway downloaded and tried some command:

adb devices (no device listed)

adb wait-for-device (no response)

adb usb (error: no devices found)

adb shell (error: no devices found)​

Did I miss some steps and is it possible to resuscitate my Fire HDX? Thank you very much!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
- what version of FireOS was on your device before it updated?

- rooted? Google Services (Play Store) installed?

- do you know if USB debugging was enabled (in FireOS settings)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ne007:
It was most likely updating to 4.5.5.1. as 3rd gen isn't getting Fire OS 5.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leoagneau:
Actually my wife told me that she saw a notification about an update was installed and I'm not very sure about the version.

I didn't root the device and didn't installed the Play Store.

Sorry that I don't remember whether USB debugging was enabled or not.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Going to assume 4.5.5 -> 4.5.5.1. Unfortunately, not much can be done if you can not establish adb access. Try these drivers. Even then recovery is a long shot. Involves installing a different launcher (likely Nova) via adb which FireOS will hate but may get you through the balance of the boot-up sequence. Have to see what works from there.

Death by unsolicited OTA is a common occurrence even on pure stock and especially 8.9" models. If purchased within the last year (exactly 365 days) seek a warranty exchange from Amazon.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leoagneau:
I have tried the drivers but my computer seems doesn't detect any new hardware so I can't install the driver for the device. I wonder whether a "factory cable" can help or not?

Btw, just curious, is there any clue on what process/step/whatever is blocking the system from loading properly? :cyclops:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Unfortunately, 'factory' (sometimes called fastboot) cables do not work with HDX devices. Appears to be disabled in hardware.

Uncertain what failed. Sometimes it's the native launcher which is the mitigation I was suggesting w/Nova. Longshot at best but I know of no other with your config.

ADB access is key. If a connection can not be established little can be done short of replacing boards.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leoagneau:
Amazon offers a $20 discount for a new HDX device to me, and I'm just wondering whether it's time to try something new, rather than another HDX...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I would be wary getting another large HDX. Expensive with so-so reliability. Uncertain how long Amazon will sell/support 4th gen models. They don't get any love in promotional materials (absent from most comparisons). Limited customization options, no root, custom roms or external storage. Pros are obvious: fantastic panel, form factor, audio, battery life. You. Won't find many other tabs will similar specs. Tough decision - especially after owning one of these beauties. If you do go for it be sure to get an extended warranty. SquareTrade has always treated me well with multiple iPhone replacements (via the Apple Store; not some cheap refurb) at low/no cost. Haven't had to make a claim on any other device so can't speak to that. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
I'd look into other devices within a similar price range. The 3rd generation HDX tablets have been discontinued (4th generation soon to follow, I can only guess), the development scene is arguably lacking, and it won't get much better. Though the HDX line certainly offers great hardware, we have to face the fact that it's nearing the end of its life cycle. There are many options like the Nexus 9, which are much more user-friendly in terms of modding, and will have support from both the manufacturer as well as the community for a good few years.

I have an SGH-I747m with rogers firmware phone and i need to unlock it but i can't afford buying an unlock code so i started searching for solutions for it but the nearest i came was that i had to downgrade to 4.1.1 so i followed this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625461) as downgrading from 4.3 didn't work but this did but still i can't see [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ. Is there any possible way to unlock it ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
so I got this galaxy s5 (free) to replace the S4 I had.. I'm on AT&T and the S5 is a T-Mobile device.. I unlocked and am currently using on AT&T without any issues.. I tried Cyanogenmod 12 on it.. had way too many Bluetooth music issues.. so I switched back to a rooted t-mobile stock.. which is terrible.. bluetooth music works great but everything is is painfully slow.. so I want to find a good fast custom rom (that also has proper bluetooth music support).. With so many device versions and so many custom roms I'm just a bit perplexed.. I found some that are debloated stock roms which seem like that would be good. but I'm just a bit confused on what parts I need to have as "t-mobile g900t" and which parts I don't have to have that way? so yeah this is a bit of a newbie question (even though I have run 4 or 5 custom roms in the past (original galaxy s and my s4 both had custom roms). .but those were always at&t devices on at&t network.. so was an easier choice..

at any rate.. looking for some tips on how to best find the right rom.. Would love to do this today/tomorrow.. avoid messing with the phone during the work week.. :)

Thanks in advance!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] A0425A:
Try the latest stock ROM for the phone. Many of us were having issues with lag with prior 5.1.1 ROMS. The latest ROM has fixed all these issues. Very snappy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
i feel like i remember seeing bluetooth/audio fixes & updates in the CM13 nightly changelogs, you also didnt specify which CM 12 you installed... the last 12.1 snapshot from october or the last nightly from december?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sean89us:
You can run whatever rom you want. If it works with KLTE it works on your phone. Check the S5 unified development. Cyanogen has always been crap on this phone, probably always will be. Try an AOSP based one like Tesla or TipsyOS (probably won't find them on this site, they post all of their roms on their Google+ page)

Unfortunately the only Marshmallow available for this phone so far is CM-13 based so it's also crap and full of bugs...

To be honest, no ROM you find will be perfect. The most stable thing I've found is to just use a rooted stock ROM and debloat the hell out of it then run Google Now launcher or Nova and forget that you have a Samsung device for a while, until the next OTA comes out and you have to do the process over again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kn00tcn:
much improved deep sleep battery means crap & full of bugs? i'm over a week behind on nightlies & there arent that many bugs... http://www.cmxlog.com/13/klte/ things are improving all the time, only CM 12.1 is stuck... but the last december nightly isnt buggy either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
Sort of forgot about this thread. :) first Thanks for the replies.. So I have been using CM13 since I posted this.. and this has great for speed.. but BlueTooth continues to suck.. no matter what bluetooth device I use with this Rom it skips and stutters. I've finally had enough.. it's been quite a long time with this issue so time for me to switch.. I will try one of the rooted stock roms and debloat it with one of those tools.. thanks again everyone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
Go to the international s5 site look at Tamirda's phoenix rom . It's 6.0.1 mm very snappy very few bugs. Very moddable. Just load a stock mm rom from here first than so you have the proper bootloader and modem. After installing you feel like you got a mini s7. Good good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
Question.. I currently have CM13 loaded in this phone.. so do I still need to do the "Just load a stock mm rom" first? I assumed I already had the proper bootloader and modem..

thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
If you have the mm bootloader and modem installed just wipe and flash. But I believe cm 13 could be ran on the lp bootloader. I odined the stock tar first that way you know all the partitions are proper. Than Odin Twrp 3 0.0 . Make sure you back up your data from internal storage because when you Odin factory package it wipes phone storage. I learned this the hard way lost a bunch of pictures lol anyway I found this to be the best way. Hoping this helps....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
1. is there a way to tell which bootloader I have?

2. I'm running teamwin.. I assume that's fine for flashing Phoenix but does one really need Odin?

3. I had a rooted stock image before I installed CM13.. (the stock image was so dang slow.. forget which.)

thanks again!

Gary
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
Get any phone info app and check and see if your bootloader ends in pe1 if it don't you don't have mm bootloader. Teamwin is twrp just make sure it's version 3.0.0 that version seems to do best with the phoenix rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] S.N.@.K.3:
Sorry for eavesdropping but I dont think that PE3 came yet, either via OTA or on sammobile.

Correct me if I am wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
thanks for sticking with me on the all the newbie questions.. bootloader version reported as G900TUV1FOG6.. later in the list it shows Latest Firmware: G900TUVUGPE1/G900TTMBGPE1/G900TUVU1GPE1.. so at first I was thinking I was ok.. but that second entry had me wondering.. (dang.. just noticed this was never submitted (from 6/28).. oh well)..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
ok.. So I assumed I'm good to go.. installed the latest TWRP (3.0.2).. wiped the data area and tried to flash Phoenix.. It starts installing Aroma.. and within a couple of seconds the phone reboots back into TWRP.. did this a few times.. rebooting into the OS gets me a new Cyanagenomod not Phoenix.. figure I must be missing a step somewhere (or have something that is preventing Phoenix from installing).. thoughts?

thanks again!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
I think you still don't have the correct bootloader . The firmware is mm because your using CM13. The easiest way to get it done for sure is to odin the official MM firmware. Than install Twrp 3.0.0 flash superuser to have root . Reboot in recovery and flash phoenix rom v12.0 than the 12.6 update. This may take extra time this way but all the partitions will be correct. Or odin bootloader in BL slot and modem in cp slot . Don't set for auto reboot pull battery back into download mode Odin Twrp pull battery. Reboot into recovery than flash superuser. Than flash phoenix. Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
OK.. you may be right.. I downgraded TWRP to 3.0.0 and the install started working fine.. but now the reboot into Phoenix has been going for about 35 mins.. I know it can take some time but that seems extreme.. will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't work I'll try the steps you listed above..

thanks again

Gary
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
Well I used Heimdall.. flashed a bootloader image MM.. now the phone seems to be completely bricked.. get the samsung galaxy s5 screen keys light up.. and just sits there.. time to toss it I guess. .(was a freebie anyway)..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
Got the phone back to CM13. so back to crappy bluetooth music streaming.. ha.. oh well I will give this try again some other day..

thanks again for the help!

Gary
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
Gary look in this general section for the post that instructs you how to install factory mm. Follow the guide. Google to see how to install factory tar files using Lunix . I'm guessing my instructional writing skills leave something to be desired lol . Once you have the factory mm up and running install Twrp flash superuser reboot. Than reboot into recovery flash phoenix rom. Good good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
once I got a working (yet old) windows laptop I installed a stock TMobile rom with the proper MM bootloader using Odin.. booted.. came up ok.. flashed TWRP.. then flashed Phoenix and it's now working.. just trying to reinstall all my apps and stuff..

thanks again!

Gary
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] inspired55:
Good good glad I was able to help. Enjoy your new rom . Remember is you have and questions search the thread most thinks have been asked and answered. See ya on the radio

are you confirming a nightly CM13 from this week is still with the same problems as what i assume is months ago?

[MENTION=4942422]gpinkham[/MENTION]

I was wondering when reading ur post tht u have flashed the bl/modem. And then I read U bricked ur phone. It is obvious tht bl and modem is for g900f.

Now my question to u is after going to stock MM PE1 installing twrp 3.0 then u installed Phoniex v12 and then V12.6 ?

Please brief more so it can be clear, what u did and what u didnt.

And most importantly question did u find any bugs yet ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] darthmalus:
Im going to get a tmobile varrient soon im tired of not being able to do anything on my at&t model since it came with 5.1.1 Im curious about roms for the 900T also, i found a few debloated stock roms for it but not sure how well they work but they are kitkat still. i played around with resurrection remix when i had my oneplus one still it seems stable and has a ton of customization options it was a 6.0.1 rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
I think the nightly was probably a week or two old.. the issue started for me in 12.1 (you can see that same issue in the OnePlus1 forums) and I had it on every nightly I ran.. for months. . finally gave up a couple of weeks ago and switched..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
My first unsuccessful install was flashing PhoenixROM without a MM bootloader.. This resulted in a never ending boot image.. I reflashed CM13 and it came cleanly.. I then I ran Odin on an old Windows laptop.. Flashed with a stock rom that included the PE1 bootloader.. booted the phone.. came up cleanly with the stock rom.. rebooted into download mode and flashed the TWRP to the recovery partition.. rebooted into recovery and flahsed the Phoenix ROM.. booted into Phoenix no problems..

hopefully this makes sense.. (I didn't write this down so this is from memory)..

for the record.. No issues to report with Phoenix on my G900T.. (unlocked and on AT&T network).. Bluetooth streaming works (knock on wood)..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] darthmalus:
Judging by what I have read so far, since I put RR 6.0.1 on my 900T i should probably update to a MM bootloader and modem since this o ne is still on OF6. I'm using this device on AT&T as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] EpicEnigma:
T-Mobile S5 Convert to AT&T?

All the apps are default T-Mobile stuff for which I have no use for. Can I just install an AT&T rom? Cyanogen dose not have a rom Labeled for AT&T, what should I do? I am on android 4 right now and would like to go to 5 or 6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aeo 37:
I am running Resurrection Remix 5.7.0, FOL1 baseband on my G900T on the ATT network. Nothing special needs to be done for it to work on ATT. APNs are already loaded with the rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gpinkham:
So after running Phoenix for a few months I am back to why I hate samsung based rom's. they are painfully slow.. felt like I was using a 386 on a 56k modem.. just painful.. so Resurrection seems to be CM based. Do you use it to stream music over bluetooth? that was my issue with CM 12 and 13.. was very fast and slick but the bluetooth streaming was buggy.. it would skip.. a lot.. got to the point I actually switched back to talk radio. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aeo 37:
That bugged has been fixed for awhile now. Streaming over Bluetooth is working fine now. I agree on the the TW ui being slow,hence why I run RR. I am using Boeffla latest kernel also because it lets you change the stock volume level. Give it a shot if the stock CM kernel doesn't cut it for you

forgive my ignorance but I already tried to search but can't seem to find the right keyword for this.

Q:

Is there a way or program that will let me lock my device using hw button then unlock it by pressing combination of hw buttons. I want to have this without using the qwerty keyboard but instead just the buttons on the front or sides.

Thanks!

My friend I believe you may have just been looking in the wrong place.

Here is (what I think) is exactly what you are looking for.

It is called Screenlock 1.4

Here is the product's home page if you would like to read more about it.

You will find the download attached to my post as it is freeware.

bought a s4 active from a girl for the screen but she told me bring my battery cuz hers is shorted out. the white dot is pink. the phone is waterproof so i didnt suspect any motherboard damage but my battery didnt allow it to turn on either. no signs of moisture nor corrosion inside on the motherboard either
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saahleh:
It's only waterproof if the case is closed correctly. I didn't try the waterproofness when I bought it, I certainly won't do it nearly 3 years later.

But what's you question?

[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
Considering the fact that remix os is based off of the work of android x86 project, has anybody been successfull in using a screen recording app? I have tried almost each and everyone and failed.

So, can anybody give me any pointers so as to have a decent screen recording app.

PS: SCR, the best recording app, has failed. So, please dont suggest me that. Works on my phone though, so I got that going for Me, which is nice.

You can try Telecine. I haven't tested it on Remix OS yet though.

[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
Okay, so not being an a-hole or anything, but since I am, I will ask again, has anybody been able to use a screen recording app or anything of the sort? ANd please tell me something that you have tried and tested, not suggestions but give me the name of the app that you have personally tried on your remix installation.

I have even tried the adb method. Does not work.

abd shell screenrecord /sdcard/screenrecord.mp4
[Remix OS for PC] joytest:
If the adb method does not work then it means that Remix does not have it baked in. I recall now that the same thing happened with DuoOS, apps didn't work but I didn't try the adb method.

adb works in Bluestacks based on Android 4.4. I have not tried the new one based on Android 5.
[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
That sucks, because I dont like bluestacks anyways. But, I think screen recording does not work on any android os based off of x86 android project kernel. Well, that just blows big time. Donkey balls, if you ask me.
[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
Jesus H. Christ! Has nobody even bothered to try screen recording or screen mirroring? Would anybody be kind enough for a solution or something? This is pretty ridiculous, the jide forum is infested with questions and nobody answers them and on xda too, nobody from their team even bothers to look into some crucial matters.

Guys, seriously, anything that can move this matter into the right direction will be appreciated.

[Remix OS for PC] DarkComet25:
It sadly does not. I am on the newest version and because my hdmi out does not work, I decided to try screen recording apps. Sadly non of them work, rooted or not.

Apps tried:

- AZ Screen Recorder (App doesn't open at all)

- ADV Screen Recorder (Does nothing at all no matter how many times I push record button)

- Lollipop Screen Recorder (After hitting the record button it thinks for about a minute or so and then freezes requiring force close)

- Mobizen: Screen Recorder (Force closes)

- Unlimited Screen Recorder (Won't start. "Error while setting up recording perameters. Try using different settings.")

- Smart Pixel (Force closes after about 5-10 seconds)

Like I said, I wouldn't need to use these apps if the hdmi out worked because then I could use my Elgato hd60... But not only does that not work, but neither do these apps and neither does rooting.

Anyone else got anything working, fix or suggestions on alternative ways to record?
[Remix OS for PC] You_KS:
You guys have to remember this project just went from alpha to beta, it isn't mature enough to do everything a regular Android device does, let's be patient and wait for features to come slowly. I also wanted to record the screen and had no luck but I'm hopeful this will be implemented in the future.
[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
Well, it has been a jolly good time with remix. The jide team really has been working hard to push updates.

However, it pains me to say that a simple screen recording feature with inbuilt sound recording has still not here. Lollipop supports screen recording, why has that feature not here? I mean, I know I am being an unhelpful basterd, but seriously, how hard is it to just give that ability to the users?

Please, give us a barebones way of screen recording with sound. Really, its been a long time, and honestly, is it still on your to do list?
