[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadengolda:
I tried to install twrp and now my kindle fire hd 8.9 and now it does a boot loop. I've tried to get into the fast boot or use the kindle fire unbrick utility but the reboot doesn't let it get a chance to connect. I believe I used the wrong twrp version and or messed up with a setting in the kindle flash app. I bought a factory/fastboot cable and want to know how to fix this. It's not here yet but I want to know how to fix it despite this. I've tried the majority of methods including the kindle utility. When I go to recovery it just hangs on a black screen. My computer recognizes it but ADB/Kindle Fire Utility do not. my PC recognizes it with a funny name and lets me open it and it's files. It's rooted and I don't know how to check bootloader. Thanks in advanced!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captjack247:
I am new at this myself, I was stuck in a bootloop myself & I to had trouble getting ADB to work, sounds as tho you don't have the drivers installed yet. The part in the directions that seems to be left out is to click on "show all" then click next. I waited forever for the list. So, control panel> device manager> (right click on the troubled device) >update drivers> pick from list> click " SHOW ALL"> hit next then at the bottom> wait for it, wait, waiting. When the list comes up, go down to Google and click it> click next, i think it was, then you should see ADB drivers. If it worked you should now see your device in the device manager under Android device. Now I don't remember where I got the files to bring it back to stock but, I think under one of "DragonFire's" post he had perfect directions to recover back to stock, I think the files might be there as well. I hope this helps you, I too have yet to get a rom to flash right and have used the ADB to reset a few times now. Time for me to try to again

[HTC One V] kikon34:
?

on one v cdm maybe?
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
sorry, i don't have the CDMA variant of this device, i'm not sure if it can "force" flash on primoc, so take you own risk or wait for further info, thanks!
[HTC One V] spiramedia:
it's super, but it boot very loooong time. the biggest bug is, recovery can't read any sd card in the phone. but the adb sideload helped. thanks again for the new recovery.
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
works fine for me, none of those bug happened on my phone, thanks.
[HTC One V] spiramedia:
belive me, sideload does its work. so if you can just try to fix the sd bug. some time i need it
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
i'm sorry, but SDCard works for me so i can't debugging with, are you using One V GSM variant or CDMA variant?
[HTC One V] spiramedia:
GSM variant. Strange. Then maybe i have done something wrong.
[HTC One V] Mr.zeus:
any log? send it
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
new build released

updated to TWRP 3.1.1-0 with some nougat changes.

please test it and give some feedback, thanks.
[HTC One V] Paspie:
Would help if there was a Nougat ROM. I'm tempted to obtain a primou unit just to maintain CM/Lineage 13.
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
i have built it once, but not booting and i don't have the way to see the logs or debugging with it due to i can't even get to bootanimation...
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
i'm sorry for the wrong image files...

i thought it was a working twrp builds since 3.1.0, but it was not...

so i just removed "WRONG" files, and now the correctly TWRP image has been uploaded.

======================================

OK, i just get RR Nougat (7.1) to boot on my One V, but a lot of crashes and things not working.

so i will try to fix those bugs and let you know, thanks.

here are some screens.

[HTC One V] Paspie:
You'll almost definitely want to max out the CPU to 1.5GHz, as the experience would be painful otherwise.
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
will try to do that, thanks.

but ROM is still not playing well, sometimes doesn't boot at all.
[HTC One V] Paspie:
Most likely it's a RAM issue. The build will have to be as minimal as possible to work, I'm not sure a full RR build will cut it.
[HTC One V] °Andrew°:
Hello, I installed your port twrp 3.1.1-0, before that there was version 2.6.3.0 from the official site twrp. I liked the interface and new features, thank you very much for the port. Now there is one problem: twrp takes a section of emmc, which is 95 MB in size, as an external memory card. Because of this, when backing up the android_secure partition, which is actually on an external memory card, twrp thinks that android_secure is in the emmc section and, correspondingly, tries to copy the image of android_secure located in emmc, and it's not there. When you select the partitions to create the images, the android_secure size is displayed as 0 MB, and the creation of the android_secure image is completed in 0 seconds. And when restoring the image of the android_secure partition (made in twrp 2.6.3.0), twrp restores it to the emmc partition, creating the android_secure folder in it and restoring it to it until the memory in this section is full, and at the end the error due to a lack of memory in Emmc.

And another question: why can not I copy the image of the recovery partition? It simply is not in the list of sections. In the official version 2.6.3.0 there is such an opportunity, though for some reason there is no possibility to restore it, do not know why?

I apologize, if that, just could not find how to download them here
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
thanks for your feedback, but i'm getting tired with this device,

just too old and too slow to make it running new Android stuff...

maybe i will look into it soon and get back to you, or i'm gonna abandon this thing.
[HTC One V] °Andrew°:
There most likely, all you need to do is swap memory partitions, and emmc display like emmc, not as SDCard. After all, this version of twrp is officially designed for a higher Android, and there the memory sections are located on the contrary than on the HTC One V. Did you check this version on your One V?
[HTC One V] tarkzim:
i know it's showing wrong size of data / emmc, and i did test it on my ONE V,

i just do it on my free time and for fun, so relax and it might be fixed when it's ready.

thanks.
[HTC One V] °Andrew°:
OK got it
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PlainShane:
This has been discussed over a r/GooglePixel in the following threads without a solution: From 8 days ago, and in early December.

The volume between the 3rd and 4th click from muted (so 4th and 5th steps counting muted as the first) is a big jump. It's too loud, and the step down is too soft. Something between those two would be great to have. I have tried apps that advertise volume control one percent at a time, but none work on the Pixel. Apparently there's a ROM that allows it, but I want to stay stock. Any other solutions?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Steffie:
Hi, i have a HTC universal, on which i succesfully flashed one of the newer firmware's with mobile6

other then some minor details that are constantly being fixed here with the good work of some ppl here, i had no problems.

But today, the MDA just won't do anything thru the USB bus anymore, except loading.

it will load thru the usb-pc connection, or with the wall plug, but no data connection at all anymore.

I had this once, in the very early beginning of my MDA and i reflashed the MDA with the original T-mobile firmware then, i thought it was from playing around with a lot of software. the MDA worked fine again after that.

But now i can't even flash the MDA anymore. I can start it into the bootloader (v1.01) but my laptop doesn't see the device, and can't flash it.

any one any idea's how to fix this ?

Thanx, steffie

These tips are like from 2010 which you come across random articles from web.. I thought you would post something new...

Also 3h sot on mobile network... I have used couple of phones past year never got such a bad backup on any of them..
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rootSU:
Really stupid article.

For OB9 and above, what i have found that if you are using both greenify and aggressive doze, battery would drain like hell, Android System used to be always on top of stats with 25-30% of drain. Disabling aggressive doze and just using greenify solved this issue, and now Android System is back to normal. :)

if it works thanks him, if not find other tips

dont be so rude :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5nickers:
Wipeing is not necessary if not dump cause the phone has to build it up again and will use resources for that.

Doubt its true. Something about his post just doesn't sound right.. Also he won't respond to any PMs
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Yeah, it's a joke. The whole post is ludicrous. He says, those that need it most "the unlockers", lmfao. What a clown. Those that need it most buy a Google version with easy bl unlock and not a Verizon model. Then there is the "I may have a way" because he has a "special way". If JCase releases anything then you can take it to the bank. Otherwise forget it.

Funny cause in the comments he said he was gonna make an XDA post last night haha

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coldconfession13:
I dunno he might ask for money so I'm sure this is a troll
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Well since they did not specify the version of Android they were on, it may be real or they are mistaken and didn't know about the older method for 7.1.

If it was BS, they would have included 7.1.1 in the post because it was gather a lot of attention.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JoinTheBattle:
Has anyone tried reaching out to him to see if it's legit?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
He just responded to my message. I specifically asked if he was claiming to be able to unlock a Verizon pixel on 7.1.1 and he said "yes thanks"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
I'm calling bs for sure.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JoinTheBattle:

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
As the old cliche goes, "the proof is in the pudding". He said he'd post on XDA last night, and there's nothing so far.....
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] proslasher:
Yeah sorry - I've been busy with work, life, and much more. I'm happy to share my method with anyone on XDA who currently has a Verizon Pixel and is on 7.1.1 with a locked bootloader. Also, I'd really like to limit this to those who are actively trying to exploit the bootloader and would benefit from having an unlocked bootloader (testing purposes, etc). Feel free to reach out to me here or on reddit.

I'm not asking for any money, and I'm not asking for any donations. My method will never be sold, nor is it worth any bug bounty. It is a limited use method though, so if everyone uses it, it will eventually stop working.

To be transparent: It's not a true unlock by any means. It requires a bit of craftiness. My intention of posting the OP was to get unlocked devices into the hands of anyone who is going to try to exploit the bootloader. I'm just a casual at this and haven't done a lot of hardware hacking in my 15 years of development. (While I'm looking, I have yet to find anything).

I've updated my reddit post to include my xda username for anyone who wants verification.

I'd like it to test it out and post results (not method) if you would like.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I think he/she is looking more for recognized devs.. Thats what I took from his/her reddit post. Anyone can say they are but he/she asked for some type of proof..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
He's looking for someone like [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION].
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cam30era:
No reason to apologize. We all are.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lucky_strike33:
Has he proven that his phone is from verizon ???
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Nope. Hasn't proven anything
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I guess my question is what do you think his intentions are if he hasn't proven that to the general public here?

He is looking for a dev familiar with bootloaders and a locked pixel. He isn't asking for money and in fact doesn't want it public so it won't get patched..

Yet he is getting the tenth degree.

At worst it's a waste of time for any dev that responds, at best it works.

Sounds to me like it's the hero we need, but don't deserve.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
Yeah...I don't know why some are so hostile towards him. I mean he isn't asking for money...he just wanted to show this to a recognized developer. If the Dev he works with deems it a repeatable process.....we all benefit from it.

Let's be patient and see what happens.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BeansTown106:
So what's going on? What do I need to do lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lucky_strike33:
Op thinks he has a new way of unlocking bootloaders for Verizon pixels with 7.1.1. He wants to speak with a developer.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BeansTown106:
Seems he only wants to share with a developer and not release it publicly
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
My thoughts are what he could do is give the method to the sunshine team for them to add it to the sunshine app with them charging the same $25 fee to use sunshine, but with the promise that sunshine would continue supporting the unlocking of verizon pixel xl's even after the fix would be patched meaning that the some of the funds from people paying the $25 fee to unlock their verizon pixel xl bootloader would go to future development of unlocking the verizon bootloader even after the exploit has been patched.

Who knows if they would or not because they did pass on adding depixel8 to the sunshine app and gave it away for free.

I guess we have all learned free is good but paying $25 put development forward for another exploit to be found which is the difference between being bootloader locked or unlocked which being bootloader locked does suck, just my 2 cents worth.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Yes because your $25 would keep the unlock going. This has always been the case with Htc devices which for them its the form of an s-off unlock which is a total unlock and they the sunshine team pretty much always kept coming up with exploits to keep others being able to get unlocked. The pixels being just a bootloader unlock but its just as important of an unlock to people with a pixel or xl with a locked down verizon bootrloader as an s-off unlock to Htc phone owners is.

Maybe if they see there are enough people in support of it they might consider it and that being if the guy with the unlock is willing to donate it to sunshine and be fine with people getting the unlock would need to pay the $25 to keep the devices supported in to the future.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coldconfession13:
Yea he might as well release it don't see why he is holding is hostage and to find a dev that doesn't have an unlocked bootloader is going to be hard to find. I call BS.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Stated on reddit he didn't want a wide release so it wouldn't get patched.

Such a terrible guy right?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coldconfession13:
It would find it's way around either way.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] M9guy:
Scott just posted a few posts back that he has one that he needs to relock so hes willing to. But as others have mentioned he is not asking for money in any way, so why would it be bs ? Since he is not trying to benefit or charge anyone anything ?

If he wanted to, he could sell the exploit to google as many others do.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coldconfession13:
I hope he releases it and hope this is true. This would be great for the community. I've just seen post like these before that's all.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
He has a weird view of bootloader unlocking and locking. He seems to think you can unlock or lock a bootloader without wiping the device. That is not true, so I'm not sure what's going on here.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
Exactly. The whole thing doesn't add up. He stated on reddit its not a "true unlock" and isn't elgoble for any money through google so why not release if its real. He said he only wants to give it to devs for testing purposes.. That makes no sense. A dev is not going to purchase a Verizon pixel unless they knew it wasnt unlockable. Any real dev would by from google. Idk how people aren't seeing that its BS. He's not asking for money but that means nothing.

Using the excuse that he doesn't want it to get patched isn't valid.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
The longer you guys allow this thread to go on, the more you're feeding the troll. So far, all you have is five pages of nothing. Ask a mod to lock this thread. If this guy really has an unlock, he can start a thread in development.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
Technically the OP isn't the troll, so this is a discussion following seeing the post on Reddit
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I understand that, and I wasn't referring to the OP, but it's still five pages of nothing, and I shall not continue to add to it. Enjoy yourselves. :good:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
But shouldn't you be referring to the OP? The guy with this method didn't create this thread. So it being open or closed isn't on that guy.

The guy from reddit just chimed in. He didn't make a post here asking for attention.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aholeinthewor1d:
I created this thread to share information about our pixels that I saw on reddit. The point was to inform people that someone was claiming to be able to unlock it. I didn't make a thred saying "Verizon 7.1.1 bootloader is unlocked!!" I'm not really sure why the guy above you cares about what people are discussing in this thread. If he doesn't like it he doesn't have to read it? The whole point was to let people know someone said they did it.
