Personally I expect they'll stick to good old network triangulation - it's cheaper, it works with any mobile, and there's literally no way you'd ever know "they" were doing it :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dscline:
First of all, it was a joke. Get a sense of humor. Secondly, if you do believe everything you type, then you should not expect such things to be so easily circumventable as changing a few reg keys. If you want to change the way things are headed, fight with your vote, and with activism, not with "hey, I bought this device because I think it's cool, even if the potential is there for it's capabilities to be used against me... anyone have any easy fixes?"

No matter what is possible, the fact remains that there are billions of civilians, compared to a relatively small number of people who could potentially have access to such data. If you have done nothing huge to draw significant "national security" type attention to yourself (which I have to assume you haven't, posting on on public board and all), the chances are minuscule that anyone who could invade your privacy has any interest in doing so.

"Blocking access" to a single phone that no one is even going to try to access isn't going to solve anything. And if we get to the point where our phones DO get used for the purposes you describe, it's too late. At this point, you're better off focusing your energies on a political front rather than a technological one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] visibility:
I don't think the concern is the government. Now, electronic tracking data is becoming an issue in civil legal proceedings (lawsuits, contested divorces, etc.) - "EZ-Pass" toll data is one example, and auto-tracking systems are another.

I'm personally not too worried about this, but I can see why some law-abiding people might be concerned.

I want to play my movie files from my Fire 7 5th gen through an hdmi cable to the tv. Is this possible?

Can I do it with one of those slim port things?
[Fire Accessories] DB126:
Obviously no integrated mini-hdmi port on the device. Me thinks the bandwidth, complex data transport (video + sound) plus dcma characteristics of a modern hdmi interface can not be emulated via OTG (usb port). So I'll wager a semi-educated guess - NO.

Read somewhere the device supports miracast and/or chromecast but haven't dabbled with those directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobil...dard_Micro-USB-to-HDMI_adapter_.28five-pin.29

No, there is no MHL or SlimPort on the Amazon Fire.
[Fire Accessories] freaky2xd:
I tried with a mhl cable, which is micro usb like the charging cable and must be connected via normal hdmi to tv and via usb to some sort of powersorce
[Fire Accessories] snoerme:
Chromecast Mirroring works with fireOS 5.3.1. though the resolution is pretty bad.. mirroring is not working with the latest cm12.1 rom. Others reported it worked with an older build of cm12.1 but couldn't find out which built that was and where to get it.
[Fire Accessories] NightCrayon:
it does not connect to a normal HDMI port, it must be an MHL compatible HDMI port on the back of the display. Usually the letters MHL will be above the specified port.
[Fire Accessories] freaky2xd:
I have a Xperia Z5 and hdmi via hdml works fine with the same cable and port...
[Fire Accessories] NightCrayon:
The MHL port has the same form as an HDMI port, but it isn't HDMI. HDMI is High-Definition Multimedia Interface, a standard connector included on most new TVs, which allows for uncompressed high-definition digital video and multi-channel audio via a single cable. MHL also allows for the same quality of video and audio input, and uses the same physical end-connector, but it's a different technology that uses five wires or pins to transmit high-def video and audio from a device to your TV while at the same time sending power back to the device.
[Fire Accessories] freaky2xd:
Look. My Xperia supports MHL. Mhl works fine with my tv and the same cable. The fire tablet however does not. I hate fire thats why I flashed CM12 today
[Fire Accessories] DB126:
As previously noted there is no evidence the 5th gen Fire will support MHL due to kernel (and possibly hardware/hardwire) restrictions. I would be shocked of Amazon baked in that capability. Hope I'm wrong ....

[Fire Accessories] AmznUser444 Dev:
Can you use the USB HDMI adapter
[Fire Accessories] DB126:
Err, no...you can't. Absolutely no way USB2 interface will support bandwidth required by HDMI not to mention HDCP support.
[Fire Accessories] AmznUser444 Dev:
You can use TeamViewer app on your Fire tablet to mirror through PC and mobile. But no capturing audio in TeamViewer, it's only in tablet speaker. You want to using Bluetooth speaker.
[Fire Accessories] Deleted member 11126215:
Just to contribute, I tried a very cheap and simple looking microUSB to HDMI cable (probably not even MHL, no option to add a power source)

and I can't see any communication between the Fire 7 (5th generation) tablet and my non-smart TV.

Same results when I tried with AmazonOS, and with LineageOS 12.1 recently.

Maybe it would work if there was a way to provide more power to the cable?

However, this cheap cable does not give that option.

And connecting the microUSB part of the cable to the Fire tablet

means that I cannot charge it at the same time.

If I could figure out how to charge the tablet at the same time,

maybe the TV would receive a signal from the cable?

I also tried this cable with my android phone and again, nothing.

Maybe it's the cheap cable. :eek: Maybe it's not compatible with anything I own. :confused:

My non-smart TV does not seem to have internet capabilities either

but does have USB ports (I have a USB wifi antenna but I doubt the TV has the software to be able to do anything with it).

You don't need to install application for root.

Settings -> about phone -> build number-> touch 7 times

You will see notification about developers options is enabled

In developers options there is setting "root access"

From that menu select "apps and ADB"

Then you will have rooted phone

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
So i recently hard bricked my h810 g4. (backstory post #2)

I was looking into replacing just the motherboard. I came across some cheap ones for t-moblile. Which would be nice because thats the service i use plus they are more rootable. Even it i get a blocked one, If i can get it to boot up i can sell it for parts with proof that it actually works.

Is it possible to swap the motherboard with one from a different carrier?

Also my phone was a beta phone. Serial starts with 503, so im wondering if i can even replace it with another h810.

Any advice would help.

Thanks
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
Ok. So i recently had the deathly ILAPO infinite loop and power off. supposedly because of a loose connection to a core on the dual core processor.

I have a beta test phone that i bought from craigslist about 6 months ago. So theres no way i am getting a warranty.

They cant even find my imei in their system. Even though its att.

Apparently there is no fix for the h810 models, you can only have it fixed under warranty.

So i found there was hope in one of two fixes. Put my motherboard in the oven (thatonly fixes it for a few hours and theres potential to ruin other components.)

or try to modify one of the tot files to get it to flash on my phone

Well, i got impatient and fired up the ol' hex editor. Got the big core disable from another rom to flash. But long story short my phone is now an extra hard brick. Like a metal brick.

The only screen i can get it to a picture of the battery of i plug it in without a battery.

No boot loader or anything.

Now its time to come to terms with not getting any pictures back and salvage it for what i can.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Octopus box jtag can fix it
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
that sounds like a whole nother rabbit hole.

plus it doesnt look like it supports h810. maybe the t-mobile version.

edit: yes it does. but still...

Edit again: Wait did you say it can fix my current hard brick problem?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1a8n2:
Hello guys, hope someone could help me.

I have a Moto G that has a bootloop, I cannot get into bootloader menu either. I've tried combinations that worked for me previously (Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up + Vol Down) in different time intervals (Up to 2 minutes) and when I release the buttons the screen blinks and it starts again with the looping, like it tries to enter and fails. When I plug the charger it shows the battery logo and 0% and it loops in that screen too, it just won't charge. I was able to charge the battery externally and it's still bootlooping and no bootloader menu. What could have happened? I didn't install anything new, the last thing I did was plugged it with a car charger it was like 20% and it restarted and started looping. I've tried everything I could find on the Internet but I couldn't find someone with my same problem. Please help.

Guide to flashing on a g930a in post two, although its pretty straightforward. i included odin inside the .rar
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ae3NerdGod:
Download the firmware from the post above, which includes odin 3.12.3, which worked for me. if you have problems, try the odin in the root post

once downloaded, extract until you have all four .tar.md5 files

open odin, press the BL button and select the BL_G930UUEU2APEH-blah-.tar.md5 file

do the same for AP, CP, and CSC

put phone in download mode and press start

root with same method as G930/5A firmware

happy flashing everyone and thanks again [MENTION=7329247]Jtate1729[/MENTION]

FAQ

1. yes this works on a G930A with the latest june pf2 firmware

2. no, you didnt do it right if it wasnt easy as crap. make sure you have drivers and a good cable.

3. android pay does work.

4. root with the only g930a method there is right now

I found that site about a week ago and determined it wasn't legit because the firmware has been uploaded for over a month and no word of it still until recently.

Guess I'm going to be proved wrong?

you already have, its just persian and weird.

i got the g930a PF2 firmware from it and works fine.

in fact,

persia is right off the coast of south korea,

which is why i determined it was probably legitimately illegitimate.

Did you check the files for malware? Is there any way they can inject stuff into them to compromise the phone or PC? Why would a Persian site be the only one that has a US carrier FW?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ae3NerdGod:
Omg dude chill.

They literally can't inject anything into these files. Their signed. You get that's the whole reason we need these specific files right? Chill out. As I previously explained

PERSIA IS RIGHT UNDER SOUTH KOREA, LOOK AT A MAP PEOPLE.

Samsung headquarters=suwon, South Korea.

People are corrupt and broke in Persia

Deduction; legitmate site doing illegitimate things for money so the guy probably risking his job to leak these files onto an incredibly well organized (albeit persian) forum so he can eat and pay rent and get laid. Just like the rest of us

The world is corrupt dude.

But your phone doesn't have to be.

I didn't scan for malware, and don't need to.

It's a firmware file signed by Samsung that successfully restored my LOCKED BOOTLOADER phone back to stock.

It's not an executable, and it cannot harm you or your precious fragile bubble of false safety.

I hate people who don't understand how malware works.

I haven't used an Antivirus since I was 8

And everyone I see who have Antivirus programs have Hella malware and I remain clean.

Stop living life in fear
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Longcat14:
The guy probably has an inside source at Samsung that provided him the files for a fee, which is why we have to pay for it.

These files are signed by Samsung, which is why the bootloader accepts them, so there's pretty much no chance of their being malware embedded in the files.

Flash it all with Odin, it'll boot itself into recovery. Watch for it to reboot and hold home and volume up. When you get back into recovery, factory reset it a couple times then reboot and setup like normal. When I Odin I wipe before I even first setup. Seems to be less issues that way.
