[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Septfox:
My mother ordered a used (Warehouse Deals) 3rd-gen 8.9", to arrive Monday. I've been reading up a bit and if it's not already updated, at the very least I'll try and save the bootloader from being irrevocably ruined and install TWRP. Fingers crossed.

Assuming the above goes through, beyond that, I'm not sure what to do. It's not my device, so I don't want to spend too much time swapping between ROMS...that in mind, I'm hoping to glean info from you guys who've been running various stuff for weeks/months/years.

So to put it simply:

- How decent is FireOS in general? How much of a pain is it to get gapps and Play Store running properly these days? What kind of app compatibility can I expect in general from non-Marketplace apps?

- How does CM11/KitKat compare to Amazon's flavor, in terms of performance and compatibility?

- How does CM12.1/Lollipop perform on this hardware? I used it on for a while on my phone and was...less than impressed; CM13 turned out to work far better. But then, my phone is old and had middling hardware at best when released, so I suppose it's unfair to prejudge based on that.

I appreciate any and all insights offered. Looking forward to having something "new" to play around with, if only a bit.

Today, I did everything which was in this article:

http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-m8-0154444/

Possibly I forgot about turning on "usb debugging" after unlocking bootloader.

I used the newest TWRP and SuperSU.

After all I restarted phone and now it stucks on the HTC logo.

I tried to perform factory reset (I have access to bootloader) but it doesn't help.

What should I do now?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bralzor:
Hey,

So I was recently thinking of upgrading my phones android, since its only a ****ty 4.2, but I've been running into some problems having never done this before, let me be as quick and concise as possible.

Phone: Its an Evolio x6, I cant post external links yet, but its a 5.5inch, 2gb RAM, 1.7ghz octa-core processor thingy, made by a romanian company so thats why its pretty rare to see anyone using it.

I'm trying to upgrade it to something around an android 5, but anything above 4.4 would work, my problems are:

1. Is any ROM gonna work? Does the ROM have to be compatible with the screensize/hardware? From what I've seen specific phones have specific ROMs they can use, but since barely anyone has this phone I cant really find anything online.

2. If I install some non-functional ROM, can I recover the old OS? Since I cant find the factory ROM anywhere on the internet.

3. I've seen quite a few guides, but most of them mention "google a good ROM for your phone", are there any ROMs that you guys think might work for mine?

4. When I go into recovery mode I dont have any Nandroid options/backups, is there another way to backup everything on the phone?

Thanks for your time, sorry for bothering you guys, and have a great day ^.^

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awp69:
I bought Helium Premium for backups to Google Drive from my Shield Tablet and it worked great.

But I just got a Shield TV and while the "standard" version is available for download. The Premium version is not. I also tried to "restore license" through the same email on my Google Play account and it doesn't recognize it.

This is really annoying because I'd like to be able to play all of my controller supported games on my new Shield TV but cannot transfer any of my game saves.

Anyone know if it's possible to get Helium Premium to work on it? I contacted the dev a few days ago but have not received a response. So I'm at a standstill.

I also do not want to root so that eliminates other methods.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mwc_Trexx:
Let me know if they get back to you. I ran into the same problem today.

I am trying to do a backup w/o premium, and can get all the way to clicking backup, but then in pops up a screen and I can't seem to figure out how to get past it (destination/schedule/etc.).
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awp69:
Unfortunately I've heard nothing either by email or trying to contact him on Twitter. Posted in Nvidia's forum and got several replies indicating his support sucks.

I downloaded an apk for Premium and it didn't work but had an option to buy via PayPal that wasn't there before. Got a new license via PP and now have premium but it crashes every time I try to restore.

Piece of ****. I've requested a refund via PP at least for the second purchase. Hopefully get that $5 back.

Bummer. Will see what I hear back from them. Did manage to get backup working by hooking up a USB mouse.

Hello, I am new to the fourms, so I hope that I am posting this in the right place. Anyways, I have been trying to downgrade/dual boot my Galaxy S4 Device because some Root apps don't work with the only way I am aware how to root a device running on 5.0.1 Lollipop, which is KingRoot. I downloaded Odin, Kies, and the frimware form SamMobile. I opened Odin, put the file in AP, checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". But, low and behold, it said: "FAIL! (Auth)". I did a little research and found out that the Reactivation Lock was turned on, so I went to look for it under the Security tab. But nothing is there. So now I am stuck. I have no idea what to do. Can someone please help me? Thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

Okay ... let me first preface this post by saying if I'm wrong it's because I had a couple bottles of wine with dinner:

I have an 8525 (previously had a Nokia D407) and with the same Bluetooth headsets (Jabra BT125, Jawbone and a Bluespoon) the earpiece volume is too low. I have the phone volume turned all the way up and the headset(s) turned all the way up, and it's still a bit too quiet. Someone on the AT&T forums pointed me here. I've one a search but apparently I'm using the wrong magic words.

[Desire 626 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy6'1:
Hey guys I'm new to flashing ROMs and xda developer thread so I apologize in advance for any blunders about where to post this.

I've got a few questions.

1) Can I install the stock ROM of a device made by the same manufacturer as my phone ? The purpose being getting the latest android version. Given that the device is almost identical to my mine. The only difference is in terms of RAM, Camera and the number of cores of the cpu. Otherwise the cpu architecture is the same.

2) if yes, will I face performance issues since the processor of the target device is slower?

3) if not, is there a way to port its operating system manually to be compatible with my phone ?

My device : HTC 626g+ running android 4.4.2. 1Gb RAM OCTA core 1.7 GHz cortex A7 processor. Mediatek chipset. Mali 450 MP4 GPU

13 MP main camera. 5 MP secondary.

Device I want ROM of : HTC 626s running android 5.1.1 upgradable to 6.0.1. 1.5 GB RAM.

Quad core 1.1 GHz cortex A7. Snap Dragon 210 chipset.

8 MP main 2 MP secondary.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Model GT-N8013ZW.

As the title states, it gets to the Galaxt Tab 10.1 loading screen and reboots. Infinitely until the battery is drained.

I have no backup.

Unable to boot to recovery mode "power + vol up", doesn't get that far

I am able to boot into odin mode "power + vol down"

I have installed odin on my PC and it detects the tablet.

I tried flashing TWRP in hopes that it might allow me to make a backup.

Oding says TWRP installed, but upon reboot nothing changes. Same symptoms.

I beleive i can use odin to flash the full factory ROM image, but I think that would destroy the user data.

Anyone have any advice? Is there a way to recover the data (photos etc) or should I cut my losses and try flashing with stock ROM?

If you can't find a button remapping app that will allow you to use a volume button to turn it on, plugging it into a pc usb port turns it on. The power button ribbon might not actually be damaged.

Could it be cause of the locked bootloader that I am not able to flash a custom ROM? I saw a thread for a ROM that doesn't need an unlocked bootloader, but the link isn't valid anymore.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreaper:
Ok so my network (Three uk) disabled my unlimited wifi teathering some time ago which rendered the tablet i used at work useless.

So i went out and found myself a new big screen phone, the sm-t705, a little unwieldy as a phone but hay it works.

Only here comes the snag, when i put the sim card into the device the internet would not work, an error page tells me to put the sim card into a phone to get net, three tech support told me that my phone is a tablet and cant make phone calls .....i was using it to call them lol

Anyway, to the point, i recently read that a rooted device (i am rooted) can pretend to be another device by changing the build.prop there are tons of guilds on how to change it, though from the view point of making google play see it as a different device to install unsupported applications, seems straight forward (if a little risky) but here are my questions,

1) what sections do i need to change so the phone reports as a normal phone?

2) what phone should i spoof as? (im thinking i should spoof as a phone as close to my specs in terms of processor etc as possible to avoid installing a version of an app that may have different cpu requirements or may burn out my phones gpu)

3) anyone done this? any tips if you have?

Thanks in advance,all advice greatfully recieved.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Regarding your old tablet, have you tried Foxfi?

Foxfi doesn't need a tethering plan or root and can create a hotspot using either Bluetooth or wifi.

It works great for me.

Barnacle wifi also used to be good on older devices, but seems to have issues with newer ones.

I used it to create a hotspot on a device that didn't even support it.

All you need is Foxfi on the phone and pdanet on the tablet for the 2 to connect via Bluetooth. Foxfi provides the instructions and links to pdanet to get it up and running in minutes.

For your new tablet if the sim is detecting it is a tablet and three are blocking it from mobile data then I don't think a spoof using the build.prop will fool it as it uses the imei as far as I know.

You may be better off with an xposed module to spoof the device, even then I think your success will be limited.

It's a bit crap of three to do this. I use O2 and have no issues using my phone sim in any tablet.

Does the tablet not even make a mobile data connection?

Have you checked the apn settings are correct?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreaper:
I used pdanet for a while, but would prefer to just use one device, the old tablet was sold to pay for the t705 (will part pay, damn this thing was pricy)

Does the imei reveal the device model?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
It's used to identify the device, so they will know it's a tablet.

There is an xposed module called device faker, but like I say I think success will be limited as I think the sim will identify the imei from the hardware.

It's seems three don't want you using your tablet for data, do they have an explanation for this?

Maybe all you need is an updated sim card.

I have a three sim card that I can use for data, but if I want I can also make calls with it if I put credit on it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreaper:
This explains the issue better then I can,

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/opinion/...y-monthly-account-from-use-with-ipad-3368856/

As for why, the lady at the three shop told me the data to a tablet is different to the data to a phone as it's not the same operating system......I did my best to not laugh and asked to speak to a higher up, they told me that as it is a tablet and not a phone I would be breaching my contract if I used my simcard in it.....

The actual reason, someone who uses a tablet is more likly to use data and therefore they can get more money out of them via tablet plans with limited data... To sum up, greed.

My temporary solution is to use a bt simcard which gives me access to the world's most unstable bt WiFi network (which disconnects every 30 mins or so) I was hoping the build.prop would be the magic solution doh
