[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_gibberish:
I just did this last night from firmware 5.3.1 and it worked fine. You can find your version by going to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number I believe though now that my tablet is flashed with a new rom it does not look the same. From what I understand you cannot root 5.3.2 but can downgrade back to 5.3.1 and then root.

The easiest way to root is with RootJunky's supertool which was just upgraded a week ago and worked fine on my tablet. Download and instructions are here http://www.rootjunky.com/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool/ You can install the correct drivers, root the tablet, remove adds, and install flashify. Once you have flashify you can install whatever ROM you'd like. If I understand correctly you cannot install a custom recovery on 5.3.1

I am running the Nexus rom and it seems to be working great. Got a replacement for my stolen Nexus tablet for $33 on black friday. That's a deal!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edmun:
Personally I have spend two days on this Kindle. What I have found has lead to a decision that I am returning those Kindle Fire tablets back to Amazon.

Originally purchased on Cyber Monday. Item which has arrived is 5th gen 5.3.1. Kindle. Once connected to Wifi it download 5.3.2 and waits for user action before updating (the OTA). I have used the supertool without luck. Even after 25 restarts, the Kingroot hasn't rooted the device to then be replaced by "su". From what I understand, if the Kindle originally had older bootloader and was upgraded to 5.3.1, than it still possible to root the device and install custom ROM. If the device is already on 5.3.1, based on todays tools and xda / reddit / youtube videos - rooting is not achievable as bootloader is different. Downgrading 5.3.1 WILL BRICK the device and of course shouldn't be performed!

If anyone has any other info - I am happy to hear about it, however at this moment I know that ADB and fastboot works fine, but Kingroot just hangs on 86% to than say that it wasn't able to root the device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_gibberish:
I was absolutely able to root my kindle from 5.3.1 yesterday. Brand new one straight from Amazon. Make sure you are using the very latest supertools which includes updated kingroot. Link is on my post above.

By the way I don't think kingroot ever said it had successfully rooted my tablet but I replaced with super su rebooted and I definitely have root.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edmun:
So the instructions in the supertool are misleading... As it does say to run kingroot over and over again to root and and then replace with SU. Yep. I am using the latest version. Seriously. 2 days of constant running of Kingroot with no vain. On 5th gen with 5.3.1. Never had any issues with any devices, even HTC with S-On, Nexus, Motorola Xoom, this Kindle Fire does give me a headache....

I will try today or tomorrow again. It is already after factory reset as it is waiting to be posted back (luckily Amazon told me that I have time until 2nd of February to return the tablets)

edit: Hmm... after factory reset rooting went fine without any issues.

I can only assume that once the device is "assigned" to Amazon Account, it is somehow changed.

So ... After factory reset and starting from a scratch - I do have root on amazon fire 7" 5th generation 5.3.1.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinoquezada:
Hello all, quick question

I have an S4 I9500 running GearCM13 (6.0.1) and I want to go back to stock 4.4.2, would following this guide do the trick or is it no longer possible to downgrade?

If this has already been discussed, a link is appreciated as I've searched and found nothing conclusive.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It depends on your bootloader. If you never upgraded the bootloader from 4.4.2 you should be able to go back to stock rather easily. You may be able to go back even with an upgraded bootloader, since both the 5.0.1 bootloader and 4.4.2 bootloaders have Knox. You'll just have to try the guide.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinoquezada:
Thanks, that's the info I needed.

To summarize the whole situation which led me to want to downgrade: I was on GEARCM13 and battery drain was too much to handle so I wanted to go back to a KK 4.4.2 rom (Ozcan) but then I read about Infernus Rom (Based 5.1.1 Ale95 Note Port) and went that way. Strephon's info helped me notice I didnt have to downgrade anything since I have a 5.0.1 bootloader.

Kinda convoluted response, if anyone wants further details, please pm.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] kidanime3d:
Hi All,

Am I right in thinking that the Honor 8's main advantages over the 1+ 3t is the camera and price? Have I missed anything?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shook187:
You forgot the huge and unnecessary 6 gigs of RAM, faster processor (SD821) and bigger battery.

I could be missing something but I know I paid half of what the 3t sells for so I'm not complaining
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] WombleJP:
It could work both ways, but size is a major factor for many people.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] danielhep:
I believe the SD821 is actually slower than the Kirin processor in the Honor 8, however SD821 is much faster in the GPU department.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] evilpaul13:
Faster GPU (on the OP3T)? Absolutely. Faster CPU? That's more debatable. App loading times and multitasking look better on the Honor 8, but I've never gotten to use a OP3/T personally.

An SD card slot is a definite plus for me.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Rickyzx:
Honor 8 is a way ahead of One+ in screen, camera, design and performance
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] spix123:
Not really.. and I have Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
Honor is advantages;

- CPU Performance

- SD Card Slot

- Slim Factor (subjective)

- Price

- External design (subjective)

OnePlus 3(t)

- Better GPU performance

- UFS filesystem, which beats Honor 8's EMMC filesystem by a noticeable amount.

- 2 GB more of RAM (unnecessary imo with the RAM management)

- Slightly larger battery (3T only)

- Developer Community is much, much more active

- Larger Screen Size (Subjective)

- WiFi Calling for T-Mobile (3T only I believe.)

This is after a considerable amount of research prior to me purchasing the Honor 8. I do like the slim size factor but I may be returning my Honor 8 in favor of the OnePlus 3T.

you can compare anything but not a snapdradon 821 with 2.3 ghz clockspeed, its a beast in performance,

coming to comparison,

cammera is better in honor (except for video)

and screen quality is better in honor

now op3t has a 16mp front facing cam

larger screen

larger ram(though unneccesary but good)

and a faster processor

better development

there are add&disadwantages..

though honor 8 performs well and even a best pic for the budget
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kamieniarz:
Hello! I just bought OnePlus Three A3000 Android 6.0.1 and I'm wondering if it's possible to connect it with my Gear S. I have a Samsung Gear app (from auto-backup from my last phone - Galaxy S5) but it can't find my smartwatch (yes, I made it visible). But apart from that I can connect with it using Bluetooth menu but as you know it gives nothing...

So, is there a way to use my Gear S on OnePlus Three as I used to use on Galaxy S5?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweezle:
I'm on a Verizon Note 4 (N910V). Bootloader unlocked, rooted, and TWRP installed. It is on the stable version of hsbadr's Unofficial CM13 6.0.1. The bootloader version is CPD1. Flashfire has special instructions for Samsung devices with protected partitions. There is no data on the phone that I care about. I just want to keep root, TWRP and the unlocked bootloader. I assume that I uncheck "boot" and "Recovery", but I'm interested what people have done with the protected partitions. Chainfire recommends a technique for flashing some thru ODIN after flashing the System on Flashfire. Any suggestion are needed and very welcome.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PutoFace:
Yeah I've had that happen to both One's I've purchased. First time, microphone wasn't out completely, but was very muffled and had to use hands-free. I was able to fix it just by completely wiping the cache and reset the phone. Second time, the microphone was out completely and a wipe/reset did not fix it. I had to send it in to a factory repair center, where they said all they did was reinstall the OS. It has to be something with the security updates and the microphone.

[Android General] parkerbender:
Hi Everyone!

I am trying to root my Nexus 10 to try to recover a bunch of video files that were deleted. When I run DiskDigger it finds all of the thumbnails, but it won't search for video files, and says that it needs root access to do so. To gain root access of the machine, after doing some digging I found that there is a program specifically for my device, Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9, which is what I was/am going to use to accomplish things, but it says that I need to unlock the bootloader before rooting. While unlocking the bootloader I found that it says that I need to backup because the device will be wiped... Is there a backup that backups all the storage, and not just the allocated parts? Otherwise, if I am understanding right, I think that it would make it exponentially more difficult to find the deleted files, if the entire machine was wiped.

If rooting only deletes a limited amount of personal data, then it is probably fine, I guess, I just have no idea what it actually does. If it does wipe the whole thing, is there a backup app somewhere that will back up all the storage, even currently unallocated (the deleted) parts?

Thanks for any advice, I am currently dead in the water...

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] TXRangerXDA:
Posted in the 3 forum but I have the 3t and there's probably more activity in here now anyway...

Is there a way to have one sim default for hotspot, and the other default for data? I have 2 sims, one personal with unlimited data, no but no hotspot. The other is a work sim, with a fair amount of data, and tethering allowed. I would like to have my personal sim (sim1) as default for data, but when I tether, have to tether on the work sim (sim2). Is this possible, or can only one sim be active for data at a time? My workaround so far is to have the sim switch and hotspot both in my quick settings and tap one then the other when I am turning on hotspot. My fear is that I will forget and tether too much on my personal sim and get caught by the carrier.

Thanks!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mow4cash:
My bootloader is unlocked and Twrp is installed. I flashed CM13 but was having issues with root so I ran "adb shell reboot disemmcwp" that made Adaway work but Titanium backup still would not uninstall system apps. Twrp says it can't dycrypt data and I am unable to move my TWRP backup off the device. I've formatted everything. I don't entirely understand the encryption, if I need encryption? Should I be having errors in Twrp or be able to mount system? I don't know if I did something wrong and what to do to fix it? I was hoping to figure this out before reflashing cm13.

mod please move to questions, sry
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JKSurf:
Not sure if this will fix your problem but I had the encryption issue when I flashed CM. When I set up my pin I unknowingly chose ask for pin when starting device. So TWRP asked for a password to decrypt. My pin did work in TWRP. I fixed it in the security settings. Does TWRP ask for a password?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mow4cash:
Fixed it. I had choose a pin setting up CM. The fix for me was to hit cancel in Twrp when it asked for a pinand then format the data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zeropants:
I have the AT&T version of the S7 Edge. I am on the newest firmware release with all my applications updated.

I have not been able to get Facebook Messenger to completely set up. Everytime I go through the process it sticks at the welcome screen after I have selected all the options I want. I have downloaded several previous versions from APK mirror and tried installing them individually or running an update.

Each new attempt freezes on the screen stating "You're on Messenger!" I can close out the app and still receive notifications but if I open the app back up I have to select my contact synchronization setting and my SMS setting again, and then it freezes at the welcome screen. I have only been able to get Messenger Lite to work normally.

I have gone as far as factory resetting the device with no luck. Other than this app the performance has been great and my battery life has been great. Facebook Messenger is the only application giving me a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zeropants:
I had a random thought, and ended up fixing the issue. I go into developer mode and disable all the animations when I set up my phones. Apparently Facebook Messenger relies on an animation to transition from the final setup option to the "Continue" button that takes you out of that final screen.

I went back and enabled my animations at .5x speed, ran the setup, and everything completed. Go figure.

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with my vodafone smart prime 6 running a debloated stock rom.

Basically my phone frequently suffers huge lags and crashes where the phone becomes almost totally unresponsive for several minutes. These happen many many times a day, often occuring in batches. Otherwise, the phone can seem quite quick and responsive. I also get alot of apps crashing in the background.

These lags seems to be linked to the process kswapd0, which I believe is linked to move data to and from swap. I previously tried using swap on a different rom installation, but the phone has been totally reinstalled several times since and I haven't turned on swap since.

When I check in the terminal swap is apparently being used. I can't succesfully turn it off through the terminal, so I have used Trickster MOD to turn off zram and this brings swap usage down to zero but the kswapd0 process continues to huge a lot of cpu and cause lagging.

Whats going on?

Is there a way I can permenantly stop swap, or figure out why kswapd0 is causing such huge issues?

Many thanks in advance.:fingers-crossed:

Did you get 7.1 from the Sony source and the vendor files from their binary downloads?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trozmagon:
Thanks for the response ;).

Yeah straight from the instructions, I nuked the source last night to try and build 7.0 to see if I got and similar errors which I'll be able to do tonight. I'll do a little googling on "mm-video-v4l2" to see what I can find out.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JengaMasterG:
I've built the AOSP 7.0 for Z5P dual and I didn't have any problems. I have to update my github with the latest files I used, but I suggest using r_21 for the system.img and r_17 for the boot.img. You can do this by making two separate folders (one for r17 and the other for r21), making an Android directory for both, referencing the Google source (Sony defaults the choice to r17 so if you just copy and paste the directions it's the second or third step "Initializing repo". To get r21 just change r17 to r21), follow the directions of copying the local_manifest and vendor files, and repo sync!

To make only boot.img run

make -j<number of cpu cores x2> bootimage

You can also try using

make -j<number of cpu cores x2> systemimage

to just make a system.img, but it'll make all the images except the userdata.img which you'll need to wipe your data (this wipes internal storage also!) So if you have TWRP I suggest you use their factory wipe.

You can reference my forum post here if you need any files also.

What you could also do is go to the Android Google source website and see the most updated branch of 7.1 is. Maybe the answer lies in there.

The website that you use in the Sony directions to Initialize the repo is a legitimate website you can navigate through and check out branches of a project.

Sorry that's a lot of information to consume at once, but I had to find this all out myself and it can take hours/days to fully utilize!

Good luck! :good:

Thanks for all the info mate, I built 7.0 r17 without a hitch last night, haven't flashed it yet but it completed successfully but that tells me that there's nothing wrong with my build environment, the issue with 7.1 is something in the source.

Strange that I haven't seen anyone else reporting issues with it though, assuming people are building it.

Tonight I'll do your recommendation and build r17/r21 and flash that until I can get 7.1 built ;).
