[Miscellaneous Android Development] tkin1t3asy:
So I am hoping someone can help me out. I was running the overclocked kernel when I found the system hung. Rebooted the system and it would stick to the boot screen. Booted into TWRP and tried to restore from backup and I got Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid Argument). Tried doing a factory wipe in TWRP and got the same.

If I adb shell into the system and try to do a mount I get the same error. I see all the proper values in /proc/partitions:

major minor #blocks name

179 0 7577600 mmcblk0

179 1 16384 mmcblk0p1

179 2 4096 mmcblk0p2

179 16 2048 mmcblk0boot0

A listing of the dev directory pointing to the partitions:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Dec 11 07:32 WOD -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Trying to format a filesystem to the appropriate partition gets the same error. I then tried 'fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0' and it states that the disk does not contain a valid partition table.

The best I can tell, the partition table is screwed up and prevents me from formatting or flashing any ROMs (Stock or otherwise). Thankfully it does not appear to affect the bootloader or recovery, though I have been unable to 'fastboot flash recovery Stock_HP_Recovery_phobos_4.4.2.img' successfully either. It says it works, but TWRP still loads when recovery is selected.

Can anyone provide the proper values to rebuild the partition table or offer some other suggestion for debricking the system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Similar issue.

Hello there,

I have the same or similar problem, where my P7 won't boot at all, won't go into recovery mode or fast boot mode.

Only thing it does when i have it connected on the charger and try to boot it is flash the LED 4 times red color, then once green, it keeps doing that and that's all it does. i tried what you said and it won't work or boot, it does the same thing.

Your help would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ascend P7] zaabolla:
power off your phone by pressing power botton for 10 seconds

after that connect it to pc by usb cable

press "power botton" and "Vol-"

does the phone boot into fastboot mode?
[Huawei Ascend P7] MASTuR44:
No, it doesn't, however when i connect it to the PC, the PC emits the USB sound (that you've plugged something in) but it doesn't identify or recognize anything.
[Huawei Ascend P7] zaabolla:
then there's no way to flash anything to it, the only way is by fastboot and adb commands
[Huawei Ascend P7] MASTuR44:
That means it's probably a hardware issue? the motherboard might be fried?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IvorTollah:
Hi there, I have a nasty little Chinese tablet that originally came with a 64Gb HDD partitioned into internal storage (4gb) and Phone Storage (59Gb). Long story short, I tried to swap the default installation drives around and ended up losing the 59Gb partition which refuses to come back even after a factory reset.

I have tried to re-partition the tablet but the partition wizard I'm using fails to recognise the tablet even though I have USB debugging enabled and the tablet shows up in windows explorer - see screen shot below.

I have installed a separate app onto the table (called "Default Install Location") and it tells me that the 59Gb drive is still there under /mnt/secure/asec

Can anyone tell me how to get this 59Gb partition back?

Thanks man.... I managed to change the housing successfully:D

Had to buy a Torx T6

I was a bit scary at first but slowly I gained confidence and it worked out well.

I just had to open it it once :o because I hadn't put the LCM FPC well.

So guys that's the part you have to do well... insert the strip well into the connector before shutting it and locking it into place or there is no connection.

also opening the LCM FPC was tricky. Use two plastic knives to lift up the black locking plate over the connectors.

I am so pleased to have a brand new looking XDA II.

Best Regards to all.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludacrisvp:
I've been trying out disabling some services / bloat and seeing what side effects there are.

So far here is what I've disabled:

root@sloane:/ # pm list packages -d
package:com.amazon.precog
package:com.amazon.recess
package:com.amazon.whisperplay.contracts
package:com.amazon.bueller.photos
package:com.amazon.kindle.cms
package:com.amazon.client.metrics
package:com.amazon.device.software.ota
package:com.amazon.whisperlink.core.android
package:com.amazon.application.compatibility.enforcer
package:com.amazon.whisperplay.service.install
package:com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
package:com.amazon.bueller.music
package:com.amazon.tv.launcher

If you need to use the FireOS Settings you *can't* disable 'com.amazon.tv.launcher' as when that is disabled it prevents you from accessing the system settings which you could get into via FireStarter or TV Launcher. But when this is disabled there is an android prompt that lets you pick your new default launcher and until you pick 'use always' each time you press the home button you can pick between your various launchers before deciding on the one to use, once you pick one then the home button goes back to normal behavior. So now my default launcher is TV Launcher, with FireStarter kept so that I can still access app settings to delete cache, clear data, uninstall, force stop, etc... and I've also got the Android TV leanback launcher installed but haven't been using it.

I do have rbox's FTV mod apk for xposed installed (not sure exactly what it is called off the top of my head) so its possible that this may also play a role in the home behavior.

Once I have root on my FireTV Stick when rbox is able to get the custom recovery and pre-rooted ROMs done I plan to disable those same services as the Stick is terribly slow on 5.0.x (still on 5.0.3 dev preview, thanks amazon :-/ ) as I believe the usability of the device will improve enough that I can actually use it again.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bird333:
Does anybody know what "com.amazon.device.software.ota.override" is for? Sounds like it needs to be disabled like "com.amazon.device.software.ota".
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludacrisvp:
I'm not sure what it is but I did disable it and haven't had any side effects.

And I did figure out that you can choose to temporarily disable the Amazon launcher and then pick a new default (like TV Launcher) and then re enable Amazon launcher and then it will no longer run at startup and you can just jump into it for prime usage as needed. I also did update the stick to 5.0.5.0 and rooted it with King root and disabled the same services on the stick.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thompson.jjp:
Thanks for your post. I followed your instructions at the same as rooting my Fire Sticks for the first time, but I've found that no Amazon Instant Videos will play now.

Would any of these disabled services affect that, or is it maybe just because it is rooted that Amazon won't allow video playback? Just trying to pinpoint the problem.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludacrisvp:
If you disable com.amazon.tv.launcher that will prevent you from accessing the menu to see any prime videos.

Otherwise, no those shouldn't have an impact on playing prime. I've had no issues with prime video playing.

I do have com.amazon.tv.launcher enabled but not set as my home screen. Once you disable it as long as you have 2 other "launchers" android will ask you which one you want to use. Then you pick the new default you want and then you can reenable the Amazon launcher and still have the launcher you want as default.

I found this list here in the for of a script.

I disabled everything in this script except the home related section.. Will tinker with it later some.

Basically if you are not using your firetv for anything amazon related.. This list is fine.

Notice in the script the # before some commands. These will not initiate in script by default and I did not disable those. A few I did but you got to pick and choose. They are not meant to just go disabling on a whim.

Also o didn't run the script.. I wen through and manually added each one in terminal on my fire TV

This is more for people who are not amazon subscribers and just don't want all the amazon junk. If you use it, some of these may not be for you.. Me though, I wanted to strip amazon from the device as much as possible.

https://github.com/esc0rtd3w/firestick-loader/blob/master/scripts/debloat/bloat-disable.sh

There is the link. And that guy ets the credit. I just stumbled into it. It is a more expansive list if you are wanting to remove most of the amazon from your fire tv
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Excellent find. Will be using this on my devices as I only have a handful of things disabled, I wonder if the stick is more responsive with all this disabled.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_ky:
I'm sure it will be somewhat. That's a lot disabled.

On my firetv box I did all the enabled disable commands in the script besides the com.amazon.TV.launcher stuff. I will play with it some later. But for now I got the rbox module on and it kinda messese with the default launcher stuff and I don't want to cause a prob there

After I did this I Gaines some more available ram and the fire TV does feel faster. Again though... I dont use any of the amazon stuff so its perfect for me
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Yes, it should be good for me as I dont use amazon stuff either.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antieco:

I have disabled all of the suggested services - with the Home Launcher. Working smoothly. I used TVLauncher instead. However if I want to access the Amazon Settings from the FireStarter app, they do not open until i reenable the com.amazon.tv.launcher... But it hijacks the home button then... Anyone has the Settings working with the com.amazon.tv.launcher disabled?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dokbot:
Could using this on the Stick be a way to change launchers?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludacrisvp:
I don't use the stock Amazon launcher on the FireTV 2 or the FireTV Stick.

Both are set to use the TVLauncher app.

In order to get the native android dialog to come up you need to have 2 additional launchers installed and have disabled the stock Amazon one. When you switch between them the native dialog will ask you what one you want to use. Pick the one you want as "always" then the home button will always use that launcher until you decide to remove it.

You can then re-enable the stock Amazon launcher if you so desire and it can be accessed as needed from another launcher and when you press home it will go directly to the 3rd party launcher as you desire.

The stock Amazon settings are only available via the Amazon launcher. They are part of the application. If you know how to deal with the command line settings adjustments you can get by somewhat but there is no replacement for them.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sconnyuk:
Ive launched the whole script and the fire stick still booted.

I had to use the enable script soon after as nothing would work I wanted to use like youtube/Netflix etc, basically anything that needs you to be signed into amazon.

This will be useful if you know which one/s to re enable after running the disable script.

Im sure it will free up a ton of memory in doing so but you would have to go through quite alot to find out which ones need to be re enabled after disabling to get basic functionality and account to stsy intact.

I was gunna attempt re enabling or just disabling everything in the script 1 by 1 myself but havent got the time.

To answer your question your Fire stick will boot up after running the disable script, if you choose to enable after, make sure you disable updates again.

If you have the time to test and find out which ones need to be enabled for account/youtube/Netflix functionality, please share with us on here.
