[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofirob:
I've seen that some people were able to successfully downgrade AFTV1 after rooting with Dirtycow. I'm able to get root, but downgrade doesn't seem to work and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I have an amazon fire TV V1 with 51.1.4.0_User_514006420 software version. I downloaded the 51.1.0.2_user_510058520 update, renamed it to update.zip, followed the guide (here: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/) for changing the ROM. When I do adb reboot recovery I get this message:

“System update was not successful. Your amazon fire tv will restart in a few minutes and should resume normal operation.”

When it restarts, it’s still on the same version I had. I’ve tried pushing the stock recovery image like the bottom of the upgrade/downgrade guide suggested, but it doesn’t seem to work. Does someone have any other ideas on how to get this to work?

I checked that the update checks out with the md5 hash. I just can’t get it to work. What should I try to do next? Is there a better guide? I'd like to install a pre-rooted ROM.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
On the off chance that Amazon changed the 51.1.0.2 image they are serving, try downloading and using the one from here. Then follow my guide here to install it. You should also check the md5 hash value of the 51.1.0.2 image AFTER it has been transferred to the FTV1 by following this guide.

If you still have problems, copy and paste your entire ADB/shell text here so I can see if you did anything wrong.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofirob:
[MENTION=5957312]AFTVnews.com[/MENTION] thanks for the response! I checked the md5 and it seemed to have matched. I re-ran through the steps an it appears I may have put command in cache instead of cache/recovery. It pushed successfully.

Now... it seems like that version of AFTV is strange. It has a lock screen and my aftv remote won't allow me to unlock it. Here is an image of what I see: Locked Amazon fire TV Screen so I can't open it to run towel root. Any ideas?

Update: I was able to get passed the lock screen by clicking a bunch of buttons on the remote at the same time. I'm rooted again! I'll continue the guide! Thanks for your work on this!

Update2: I'm running the latest version of the rooted software. Thanks for the guides!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Awesome. Glad it worked out.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofirob:
Last night, I stopped after the custom latest rooted version of the ROM was installed. I keep getting "Amazon is unable to connect to the service" when going to the different menu options. Do I have to disable my firewall rules on my router, or was it just an oddity?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofirob:
I confirmed that I'm still getting the unable to connect to service last night. Should I just do a factory reset? Would that help? At this moment, the only way for me to launch apps is to go through System -> Manage Applications and it's really annoying. I was able to confirm that Kodi was able to connect to the internet, so I know that it's not the connection.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
Since you're rooted and on the latest prerooted ROM, you should remove the domain blocks on your router/firewall. It sounds like that's the issue. Just be sure you have done method 1 at the very least from my update blocking guide. You can also do method 5 to be extra safe.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uofirob:
I tried removing the firewall blocks but I still get "We are currently unable to contact our servers." Should I re-add the firewall blocks and factory reset?

UPDATE: I was able to resolve this by signing in to my amazon account. Apparently for some reason it signed me out. Thanks for all of your help!
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ribombee:
I accidentally made my phone to start installing the nougat update (I preferred EMUI 4.0 over it) and when it was installing the zip through twrp, i restarted the phone in an attempt to stop the process without knowing that it was a huge mistake to do so. Now my phone has no OS and when i try flashing the B200 firmware through twrp, it fails every time. Would i be able to fiz it by flashing the Nougat firmware instead? Someone please help.

A few things...

I have figured out that firekitfds, gravitybox mm, and xtouchwiz all break my hotspot.

I use my note 4 hot-spot and a range extender for the Wi-Fi in my home (rural area) works great

With this Rom AND any one of the above it breaks my hotspot. Tried disabling in app (above) and re-enabled. Tried changing to 2.4ghz to reset then back to 5ghz.

No luck anywhere.

Think I remember someone talking about the features. Csc file maybe.

Any help with this?

Also tried using gttools to reset and set Max back to 15. (have about a dozen devices) and that's stock Max for 5ghz band.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterl23451:
Good lock/system ui update

Found this useful on the last rom I was running

When you install the apk it updates systemui.

It changes the notification panel to the good lock ui

Pretty cool to play with and pick what you like.

It will also unlock the hot-spot toggle then you can uninstall update to app only. Not the whole app. Then you have stock from Rom with hot-spot toggle.

I have just uploaded these images:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
At least two of those Xposed modules you mention creates a bogus features.xml file at /system/csc/features.xml each time you so much as open the module.

When that happens, delete features.xml before you reboot and that should prevent loss of functionality.

I also now use Good Lock and Xposed framework on UN7 ported ROM. It works as well as it did with rooted stock ROMs except the flashlight toggle in pull-downs are broken; leaves the torch on unless disabled with side panel or reboot. You're better off making a gesture or remap for torch; mine is set to toggle torch on any long press of home button greater than 1 second on any screen condition- off, lockscreen or on with vibrate confirmation. I use Physical Button Music Control Xposed module for that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterl23451:
Got it.

Did some digging and found mention of firekitfds 1.0.2

Works great and didn't break my Hotspot settings/functionality

Will install good lock now and see how that goes. Maybe should have installed that before.

But I did make a new backup with xposed installed so it doesn't take me so long each time. The framework, installer app, won't break Hotspot. Only on running the module and reboot.

Question...

If I deleted that file mentioned above before my reboot will the other changes still take effect? Seems it would be pointless if not?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I was aware that the oldest stable release of Firefds Xposed module didn't break functionality but didn't recall 1.0.2 was also not breaking function. It works because it doesn't create the unneeded features.xml file. So there's no need to check or delete with those module versions; you can open and edit with no worries.

Changes should take place without features.xml because marshmallow doesn't use features.xml but others.xml

It's odd that updates of Firefds Xposed module broke functionality but updates have followed the same unneeded creation of features.xml- I'm not sure if any of the XTouch module versions worked without issue of unneeded features.xml file being created.

With Good Lock, the Firefds and XTouch Xposed modules are equal. But I noticed with stock SystemUI, there are minor differences. XTouch can eliminate the airplane mode pop-up dialogue but cannot remove the battery icon. Firefds Xposed module was just the opposite. (But Good Lock makes the battery icon persistent but lacks the presence of airplane mode dialogue pop-up.)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterl23451:
i was just going to mention only issue after good lock was firekit was unable to change or hide battery.

Should I even try 3minit?

Hotspot

for anyone this could help. This does not break functionality but everytime you go into firekit it will change Max AP connections to whatever it's set to there. But you can still go to settings, hotspot,configure Hotspot, and set number there to fix. Max in fds is 10
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterl23451:
Thanks for all the help and input

I didn't try 3 minute battery mod. Never use it but if you find a solution for removing icon, I'd like to that again with Good Lock. I've always just dealt with it being there.

XTouchWiz does not break hotspot. I find more things work with XTouchWiz on the UN7 ROM vs. Firefds (eg: hide alarm icon works on one but not the other). But I can't modify the battery with both

My flashlight toggle works fine from the pull down, both on and off
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Since I brought up the flashlight toggle issue, I should clarify again that the flashlight toggle in pull-down screens stems from my use of Good Lock SystemUI screen replacement.

The flashlight toggle issue wasn't caused by the UN7 ROM or the Firefds Kit Xposed module.

You're finding more functionality and less bugs with XTouchWiz over Firefds Kit but my set of features used reflect no difference when using Good Lock with my feature preferences. I did see features.xml being created with XTouchWiz as well but in either case, since I delete the unwanted created features.xml file, I can't say which is better regarding not killing hotspot in Settings. I didn't give it the chance to fail by deleting when created.

Since both modules haven't been updated in a while, my tests were done against latest stable module releases. I'm considering going back to the suggested Firefds Kit 1.0.2 update which has been noted and confirmed not to create features.xml in Note 4 when module is opened. Personally, I think both modules could use an update to stop features.xml creation.

Thanks for your input. With all the features available, user variance is possible.

I'd also like to hear more confirmation input from others on their experience with these Xposed modules and Good Lock.

Regarding Good Lock unlock reboot error in UN7 ROM, since I've switched to that password unlock with Good Lock and experienced one reboot bug and lag on initial unlock error using wrong password, I've since entered wrong password in 2 occasions without experiencing the reboot bug or lag on unlock. Not sure why that happens and if others can expect same flexibility with Good Lock?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I didn't try the mod on Good Lock but came across this Xposed module: Status Bar Cleanup. Updates are in Google Play and developer claims touchwiz isn't supported.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seveilith.statusbarcleanup

Hide battery icon works with above module with Good Lock as SystemUI replacement. Didn't test anything else but VPN icon hide which did not work. I used NOTifications Xposed module for that. Kind of neat to allow icon to be present for a bit then get removed.

I should add that the VPN notification I was trying to hide was from Adguard and was tired to Android System. I had to add Android System in ignore list of NOTifications module.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterl23451:
Sweet

Awesome. Works flawlessly. Bye bye battery icon. If I can't use a custom icon with percentage inside just the percentage is the next best thing IMO

In light of the emerging Vault 7 dumps, I have begun to wonder if any of the CIA's leaked Android tools could be used to gain or exploit root access/ allow a custom boot loader to be installed on the AT&T G5. If anyone with programming know-how would look into this I'm sure many of us would be interested in any possibilities that might emerge from this avenue.

Yes, I have been asking them for months. I just reminded them we're still waiting last week.

So far, AT&T's employees have been less than accommodating on this front. Some of them have given deceptive answers/ or appear to be unknowledgeable as to the nature of flashing a device.

Hi.

I did do a search (prior to posting this) and only found one other post regarding this issue, and the question wasn't answered (another issue about morality was explored instead).

Anyway, is there a way to disable the SMS (text) notification feature (i.e the bubble or box that shows a preview of the SMS after it arrives).

I looked at the registry but didnt find a reg entry for this, is there one?

Is there any other way to disable this feature?

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] sameee781:
I'm from Bangladesh. I want to buy Oneplus 3T. Here only 3010 is available which is installed with Oxygen OS. As per wiki, 3003 is for Asia region and 3010 for China. China model basically installed with Hydrogen OS where as others are Oxygen. I also knew that 3010 can also be installed with Oxygen OS.

My question is since 3010 is not available in my country, should I buy 3010? If 3010 is installed with Oxygen will it be any issue (as 3010 is for China and for Hydrogen OS )?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
Imo if the 3003 is for Asia region, you should get that one. Have you looked at each models frequency capabilities vs your countries mobile providers frequencies?

Hi guys

I am making this post to help those of you who doesn't know how to push a file to system partition to fix camera crashing issue and flash sync bug in Nougat ROMs on redmi note 3.

I have made a video for better understanding .

Link to video : https://youtu.be/JB0BIcsbs4M

But yeah , all you have to do is flash the file after flashing ROM on dirty flash the file on top of current ROM ( must be 7.1.1) and then reboot.

This is will fix camera .

I made the flashable zip.

But full credits goes to sir billchen1977 for making and sharing the basic fix.

Thanks a lot !
