just after this bug appears try examining your reg to see what player is linked to the wma files.

Pocket player has an option to choose what files to be associated with try to dissociate it from wma files
[General Topics] LordDeath:
ok, i will look at that. where in the registry should i look?

i did that already and it didn't change anything.
[General Topics] Harun93:
This happened exactly the same to me, but I haven't installed pocketplayer or something like that. I used only WMP10 preinstalled to play music.

My WMP still plays wma files, including the ringtones (I copied them to the memory card and added them in WMP)

But those ringtones did not play when I have incoming calls, and I can neither set nor preview them.. The sound&notification setting keeps hanging if I try to modify the "incoming call alert"

I think this is because I tweaked the registry, attempting to change the ringtones folder (\windows\) into the card, although I have changed everything back to default.

So what would I do now? Please help. I don't want to hard-reset my Zinc. Thanks all

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregoiregentil:
I have a custom made Android app running on a Pixel C Android 6.0.1. This app is pretty intensive with a lot of ARM Neon assembly calculation (in the Cortex) during video rendering. Plotting the CPU usage shows high % in the 60-80% though it's not 100% all the time.

After 30 seconds or so, the tablet becomes hot though I can still hold it in my hands. The system starts to skip a lot of frames. My guess is that the kernel CPU freq slows down everything. Note that dmesg shows a lot of "lm90 5-004c: temp2 out of range, please check". If I put an injury ice pack below the tablet, the system gets to normal very quickly and I'm getting back the full frame rate.

I think that the kernel cpu freq is a little bit more "aggressively" conservative and I would like to find a way to keep the tablet running as fast as possible - at least longer. I understand that things would need to slow down after a bit, but not after 30 seconds or a minute...

My device information is:

kernel version

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikexyz1:
Hi,

has anybody idea why is the top rated relatively new Huawei Mate 8 phone (runs Android Marshmallow) incompatible with the Android Auto app?:confused:

Google says on the troubleshooting pages:

My phone is incompatible

Some phones with Android Lollipop (5.0) and higher may be incompatible with Android Auto. If you see an "Incompatible phone" notification when opening the Android Auto app, your phone may not have enough memory or a video encoder that supports Android Auto.

The Mate 8 is a powerful phone: it is quite unlikely that there is an issue with the memory. Is there a workaround ? An apk file direct installation without Google Play did not work.:(

Thank you

Mike

Works fine on my phone. What model are you using? Have you rooted or flashed different region firmware?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikexyz1:
Hi kunalmalviya ,

thank you for trying to help.

In the meantime I have found out that Google does not support the Android Auto app for all countries and my (Slovakia) is not listed unfortunately. So I do not know if there is an issue with the cellphone or the country.

I downloaded another apk files and manage to install them but none of them worked, i.e. I could not connect the phone with the car. I tried even the debug mode - I found on Youtube a video from Germany from someone who said that Huawei works only in debug mode.

Btw. I have a not rooted phone with original region FW, NXT-LO9, build NXT-L09C432B180, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0.

Thank you

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
Hi all

I've just bought a Fire Tablet on Amazon day with the intention of rooting it and installing CM, but I am a newbie and there's so much information on here it's kind of overwhelming, and most of it has a lot of "if this, then that, or if you want to use that, do this" type guides, which for someones who doesn't really know what all the different methods and options are is really confusing!

So can someone please tell me the step by step process for doing it?

From what I've read I think I have to downgrade to 5.1.2 of the OS as I can't root on 5.1.4? Is that correct?

So do I have to root before I do that? Or do I downgrade first and then root, and then install the CM?

If someone can list each of the steps I need to take to get it from a fresh new 5th Gen Fire 7 to having all the Amazon rubbish off and having it running CM, then I can look for the guides for each step!

Thanks, I hope that makes sense!

:angel: :)

PS: I've already bricked one by trying to downgrade to 5.1.1 because that wasn't apparent until it was too late, replacement on its way!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikthebikeman:
Yeah, I read the same thing and I bought it on Prime day. When's the 5.14 tool going to come out? I know, beggars... :) I really think it's silly to have to downgrade and risk bricking it when normal root for those OS versions don't have such a concern.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nefarian:
I did the same thing, bought the tablet on prime day and was successfully able to root it and put the AOSP nexus rom

First things first make sure you have the 7-inch tablet for the following steps because apparently it only works with that specific model. Since this is my first post I can't post any links so sorry about that however, I have added the video title so that you can just google it and find the video.

Anything above fire os 5.1.2 ( that is 5.1.4, 5.1.3, 5.1.2.1) has to be downgraded to 5.1.2.

Also downgrading from 5.1.4 to 5.1.1 is going to give you a hard brick. I don't know how you didn't know that but it was clearly stated in the xda guide I was following

Basically you have to follow rootjunkys video and instead of using the file he uses in the video use the fire OS 5.1.2 file which is also available on his website.

Imortant: Do a factory reset before downgrading. I did not do that and the rooting process did not work.

Video title: How to Firmware Restore or Unbrick your Amazon Fire 5th gen Tablet

After you have fire OS 5.1.2 follow the rooting process shown in another rootjunky video

Video title: How to root the Amazon Fire 5th gen 7in on Fire OS 5 1 2 SuperTool Mac linux and Windows

Note: He shows how to do the whole process while using mac but it can be done on windows awell and the windows files are already present. Instead of using the .sh file and opening the terminal double click the .bat file and follow along.

You can use his SuperTool to put the play store app and fire flash app.

Note: For some reason fire flash was not working properly for me by using the SuperTool, so I just installed it from the google play store.

Now you should have rooted fire OS 5.1.2 along with superSU. Now with the fire flash app and you can download any rom that you want to flash. Follow the steps in the video for instructions

Video title: Amazon Fire 5th gen AOSP Nexus rom install with Flash Fire app

Hope this helps.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
It's not a matter of someone getting off their keister and whipping up a "tool" (presumably you are talking about root) that works with FireOS 5.1.4 or whatever the latest version is. Like many manufactures Amazon actively discourages rooting devices and attempt to block known exploits. It's a cat and mouse game. We may see a "tool" soon, much further down the road or never. Be happy you can root the device at all and be thankful for the individuals who unselfishly share their time and talents with the community.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
Thanks nefarian.

The problem was that the guide I was referred to for getting CM onto it already assumed it had been rooted, and when I started googling and looking on the different guides on rootjunky there were so many coming from different angles but nothing giving the clear start to end steps for what I wanted to do, for a newbie it was very confusing. Plus in the guide I was following (a rootjunky one) he had an older version of the OS and the toolkit had different files/folders to what are in it now, so I guess at that time there was no mentioned of 5.1.4 and not being able to go back.

After thinking I needed to downgrade the OS I found the one for unbrinking and downgrading and did that fine to 5.1.2, but then when I tried the superkit it still said it was too new, so I tried to downgrade further, which is when I bricked it.

There was no mention of it on the video..... other than a bloody great overlay in the corner, which must have been added later on, and probably because I was tearing my hair out and getting confused I didn't spot it. That's my excuse anyway!

Thanks for your help, I'll have a go with the new one on Monday. So instead of trying to find an all in one guide, I need to find guide for the steps in this order;

1 - do a factory reset on the device (from the device settings, or do I need to do it in the bootloader settings?)

2 -downgrade to 5.1.2 (I should be able to do this now)

3 - root the device (and install supersu?)

4 - install CM

Then it should have full CM and none of the Amazon OS left.

I'm not missing any steps there am I?

Thanks again!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- no need for a factory reset at any point; offers no benefit for what you are trying to accomplish.

- installation of SuperSU (replacing Kinguser and related Kingroot cruft) after rooting is highly recommended prior to using FlashFire or any other tool that messes with the system partition. The SuperTool can facilitate this otherwise ugly task.

- if you are struggling with RootJunky videos you should give serious consideration to the challenges of installing a custom rom. It doesn't get any easier going forward.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
Thanks. I managed to root my Nvidia Shield TV fine so I should be able to do it, I just needed to be clear of the full process from start to finish, and as I wasn't starting from the beginning of the process that made it more confusing. The rootjunky videos are great, but when someone is saying you can use this or that or do this or that it's putting choices and variables in to the mix so it's not a straighforward step by step, and when the kits and the webpages shown on the videos have changed since they were made, for someone trying to piece the info together it takes a bit more time.

Maybe I should point out that I didn't look on here initially when I started trying to do it, I basically saw the fire on offer mentioned on a forum I use and someone said yeah, it's easy to root and get CM on if, just user this video, with the link to a rootjunky YouTube video which didn't mention the prerequisite of already having downgraded the OS (why would it) so in hindsight I didn't start at the right place or have the best information.

After reading through some stuff on here (and that's over whelming for a first timer as there is so much stuff on here for many, many devices and platforms - even just finding the Amazon fire sub forum on an iPad wasn't easy!) I'm getting a better idea for attempt two.

I'll get there, and at least I know how to not brick it now! :good:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
OK, so making progress. I have downgraded the new one fine, it now has 5.1.2 of the Fire OS.

I've used rootjunkys supertool to root the device with Kingmaker, which then installed SuperSU, and I finally uninstalled Kingmaker/Purity.

So I now have a rooted Fire, which is great. I have also installed the Google Play store, disabled OTA updates and removed ads from the lock screen. But I don't want the Amazon OS on it (pretty fugly isn't it!), so the next step, flashing it with CM.

What guide would be best for a Fire with 5.1.2 on it? When I look at the Rootjunkys guide for installing CM on the Fire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dwguHoxTvo&feature=youtu.be) the super tool kit does differ, and the one I downloaded from his link only has the tool for doing it for OS 5.0.1, so it won't let me boot into TWRP recovery. What would be the best tools/guide/method to use for installing CM onto a Fire with 5.1.2?

Thanks
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- Kingroot/Purify, not Kingmaker/Purity

- I can't think of a better suite of guides than the videos produced by RootJunky

- use FlashFire 0.51 to install (flash) the rom of your choice

- OP for Nexus rom has video link and and basic FlashFire guidance

- get over the minor variations in the language/tools used to support this device between the making of videos and the latest release.

1. Get the CM rom and put it in the tablet from here: http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/rom-cm-12-1-2015-11-15-t3249416

2. Install FlashFire 0.51 from play store or use the SuperTool

3. Follow the video instructions and instead of the nexus rom use the CM rom you downloaded: [YOUTUBE]QZjD4ME4wlI&spfreload=5[/YOUTUBE]
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
Thanks guys. All going well. CM12 is now installed using that Nexus guide. However, because he used Nexus the Play store was installed by default, which CM12 doesn't have.

Looking here - https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Installation - I need to download Google Apps and install it, but which package for the Fire 7 5th gen? There are a number of variants to choose from. Looks like using twrp it would have been a pico one, but as it's a new OS a different one is needed?

So it's ARM device, Android 5.1 and Nano variant?

That gives me a zip file, but I can't work out how to install it. The videos I've found all have it as being installed as part of the OS installation via twrp. Should I have installed gapps when I installed the CM12.1 OS, or can I still install it later?

When I go into the boot menu the only install option is to apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, reboot to bootloader or power down/reboot.

I tried to use apply update from ADB and did "adb sideload gapps-filename.zip" but it failed to complete the install and went back to the boot menu.

What do I need to do to get Play Store on there?

Thanks again
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Reinstall FlashFire 0.51 (here) on CM 12.1 then use it to flash the GAapps package. Agree with your selection: ARM/5.1/nano.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Boblaw:
Ah, great, thank you, yep, that's got it on there.

Excellent! All modded and running very quickly! Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate the patience.

Not much space on these Fire's is there, it's already telling me it's low on space and I've only installed MediaMonkey!

Two more quick questions and I'll leave you alone....!

Is it possible to have the SD card to be used as combined storage? For example, my Shield TV lets me 'add' the SD card to the main storage so it sees it all as one instead of a second removable device, so can install apps on it, etc. If this possible with Cyanogenmod? (Not sure what you'd call that feature to search for it!) Thankfully the main reason I bought it was to help manage my music with MediaMonkey so I won't be installing lots on it, but if it is possible it would be useful.

Second, with regard to OS updates on CM, are they automated or do they need to be done manually (and, if so, with care?)

Thanks again!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Short answer: 'yes'. There are various approaches to utilizing SD cards for app installation/storage each with pros, cons and compromises. I highly recommend using a tool that leverages 'symbolic links' which is by far the most reliable method. An example is Link2SD which you can find in the Play Store.

All custom roms for this device are updated manually via FlaahFire or TWRP (if available). Instructions can usually be found in the OP.

did you open up the file manager and install the flashfire.apk? I am on the same problem you had on your post #11, but my problem I ran into now is flash fire says "root access could not be acquired" otherwise this would be a easy to do.

I think I might have to reinstall everything and start over. >_<

Great post guys!! I am getting ready to root my fire OS 5.1.4 and this helps me greatly! Been searching for a downgrade guide and this is it!

I would think that lastest TWRP would work since its all android but have to ask .I like TWRP myself cause i have it on rooted tablets
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
You can not boot/install/use twrp on this device unless running FireOS 5.0.1 or lower. Nor can you rollback to any version below 5.1.2 without bricking the device. FlashFire is the tool of choice for installing roms and performing other maintenance tasks that are typically done in a custom recovery environment.

from what I'v seen it may be better to stick wit 5.1.1, I get super batt life and all my apps work. what scares me most is some of the threads Iv seen about the sd card. my top topo gps app is able to use the sd (25gb maps) and they say there are some changes to the way android handles it in mm...

will have too wait
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morphfxf:
The only change to SD cards is in the naming convention and adoptable storage. Any app in 5.1.1 must seek permissions to use the SD card for accessing folders. Even if you update to 6.0.1 when an app asks you for permissions, you can select the new renamed SD card and by default the system handles any app storage stored on the SD card. In short, there is 0% chance your gps app will stop working. AT most you will have to redownload maps or re-grant permissions to that folder.

I was looking over this again today, I noticed that the original link I posted for you to try had an extremely wrong base band version..

Try this: https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42925/1488/SS-G870AUCS2CPB4-to-U4DPF3-UP

Someone else mentioned trying a different "agent" so then you would replace 42925 with 48698 in the link base on an old update link? It also appears Samsung is at least trying to get the S5 line on a consistent base band number from what i gather in the support articles

900A: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00036623/

870A: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00051365/

Also, the update, if the right links will likely factory reset your phone. and MUST be applied from SDcard.

Anyway, this is my best guess without an 870. Lemme know if anyone has success.
