[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Yep - common occurrence once rooted. Unfortunately, restoring pure stock is nearly impossible. You could install a vulnerable bootloader and TWRP (both fairly easy) and flash a customized build of FireOS 4.5.2 which is the latest available as of this writing. Still doesn't provide a path to 4.5.4 but likely close enough.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] i_a7mdona:
If I have stcok 4.5.2. Why should I go for customized 4.5.2? Is it any different?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
No difference. I did not know what version you currently have and referenced 4.5.2 as the highest flashable build available given 4.5.4 was the stated goal.

To the best of my knowledge there are no functional difference between 4.5.2 and 4.5.4; only minor security updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] i_a7mdona:
Thanks a lot for the help. What if I perform manufacture reset or flash a new fire stcok I'm afraid that it will ask me to update to able to use kindle fire features.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Factory reset only removes personal data; operating system (FireOS) remains untouched. 3rd gen HDX devices are EOL - there won't be any further updates beyond the occational security patch.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] i_a7mdona:
Guess what! After I signed in into amazon and I really hopless it started to download the update as usual but this time it installed it and succeeded. I guess I should've done that before. Anyway thanks a lot for everything and I'm really sorry for taking much of your precious time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Yikes - sorry I didn't think of that and led you down a merry path of misinformation based on experiences from others. Yes, signing into Amazon is an OTA enabler albeit not always a prerequisite. I have seen updates take place without registering with Amazon (often to the dismay of the device owner!) and no OTA activity until signed in. Appears your device fell into the latter category. Not sure what all of the behind-the-scenes triggers are.

Most important, you got the FireOS updates you were seeking. Glad it all worked out. Enjoy your refreshed device!

Hi to all!

So, after unhappy trying of getting root on devise, i have flash it and installed a mod. version for ChinA phone, but it doesn't work properly with EU phones (diff. block of disc fragmetation for all stuff). Now it's works with root but without modem. Maybe some here have a rom or maybe modem module?

Hello,

this is my first post and I didn't really know where to create this topic. So if I'm wrong, please move it :)

I bought an Oukitel C5 and thought that there is a root for it but it was for the Pro version of it. I already looked here and other forums for a tutorial, but I couldn't find anything.

Now I'm looking for a tutorial to root that phone. I tried the MTK droid tools, but they are only for Android 4. Also I tried vroot, kingroot and another app, but they didn't work. I couldn't find other tutorials.

The Oukitel C5 comes with the MTK6580 chip and Android 7.0.

Is there any tutorial how I could root that phone? I don't mind if I sit there for an hour to do it :D

[BlackBerry Priv] ozzmanj1:
I have an opportunity to snag a Priv that is either from AT&T or VZ for the same price. I have read that the VZ model fully works on Tmo US, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there is a better version between the two for use on Tmobile? I realize that the AT&T has a ton of bloatware but do not know much about the VZ model. I am mostly asking from a functional use if there is ant differnce from using an ATT model and VZ on Tmo. Hope my question makes sense. Any feedback and or personal experience would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Edit - can anyone tell me if the Verizon model on tmo can use wifi calling? I can't seem to find a solid answer looking online.
[BlackBerry Priv] todarkness:
Look at the frequences in this list here for compatibility issues.

http://forums.crackberry.com/blackb...ry-priv-models-supported-frequencies-1043968/

AT&T version supports more frequencies in LTE, but no CDMA (Verizon)

Second, AFAIK the PRIV from AT&T has a wireless charging coil which is AT&T exclusive.

I heard Verizon sucks at keeping their phones uptodate and is slowing down updates, i can't confirm or deny this, as i have never been an verizon customer.

Wifi calling? No idea.

My opinion: go with the AT&T Version.
[BlackBerry Priv] ozzmanj1:
I ended up coming across a att model for $140 in like new condition. I do have an existing wireless charger i am hoping to use on this device.
[BlackBerry Priv] missingxtension:
Tmo versión has wireless charging, also there is no bloat. It's visual Voice Mail, my tmo, and I don't remember ever having to disable anything else. Been using it since about launch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azj:
I've got a US T813 that updated to Nougat last week. I'm interested in turning on the Nougat Direct Boot / file based encryption option. But when I look through the settings, all I can find is Encrypt SD Card and Secure Startup, both under Lock Screen and Security. The description of Secure Startup sounds like the older full encryption since nothing will operate after a boot until the password/pattern is entered. And the is no choice under Developer options to turn on file encryption.

How do I turn on direct Boott?

I used to have a tmobile s7 with Samsung Pay... it had rewards and gift card system. Now I got an s8 international.... installed Samsung Pay and linked my card, everything went fine, but I have no menu for gifts or rewards.

Could someone help me with this. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] burrzoo:
When you bring up your credit card, just swipe down on the card itself and you'll be able to see the menu. At least I think this is what you're looking for...

Sorry, I'm unable to share the screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] diosjeremy:
Thanis, but it's not that... on the menu icons I just don't have the gift cards or rewards system.

Maybe I have to install an American Samsung Pay version or something.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
It's a U.S. phone with U.S. Samsung Pay. Unless you blow KNOX there's no reason it wouldn't fully support all the U.S. features. How a U.S. phone with U.S. S Pay would behave with foreign credit cards and/or being used outside the U.S. is a totally different question.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] justnewbee:
Thanks for your info. I am just trying to be careful as much as possible. Because I want to transfer from iphone to Samsung because of Samsung pay. I just love S Pay so much. But you know what, B&H list SM-950U as North American Variant not US Variant. That's why I am asking. Anyway, thanks a lot for your info. As long as the rewards and gift cards work on SM-950U, I'm gonna go and get one immediately!

Thank you for your reply but thats not all what i did before posting..but no luck..

But i figured it out.. after some research i found out that the lg is a crap company and the power button and the fingerprint scanner has a loose connection meaning the hardware just popped out in my case..

I tried tapping the phone from back and the power button and restarted the phone and it started working again..

Hope this might help someone else in future..

Possible boost mobile version of the LG X Power

Ok I have the Boost Mobile version of the LG X Power. I found a video on youtube. It is putting the root file in the root of the phone. Let me explain. You download a superSU file. You connect the phone to the computer PC. Put the root file in the list of files in the directory. That makes it stand out. To install you go into the recovery on the phone. You don't install it. It is part of the system. Turn off phone. Hold power down and volume down. You enter recovery. You highlight the superSU file and select. It should root the phone. This is the way the very first android phones got rooted. I'm to tired now to try it. Heres the video. Tell me what you think.

For your safety, please take backup of your importent stuffs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoBrickToday:
UPDATE

Got my phone into developer mode. Did the things to make it ready to take code easier. With the above it failed to install. So it didn't kill the phone. It only lead to another dead end. If you do watch the video. He claims you need to install recovery first then root. That is backwards. You root first. Then you go into the app store and download a recovery. Or find one in here to download.

As I read in this forum I find old information. Most stuff on this phone or even others I have found is outdated. The stuff on this phone was from 2016. Other info how to fix a brick phone is from 2014. Which is making things harder. Technology moves much faster. Most things said about this phone in 2016 have been changed or patched. I use the search bar to only find what I need. Still its old.

Not trying to be negative about the forum. I just want to learn. Anybody out there with good information on the LG X power from boost mobile. Please help me? LG is a hard nut to crack. Is there a nutcracker out there?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidsuspension:
I just replaced the cracked screen on my Moto X Pure. Now there's no response visually on the screen. It seems to boot up. There's the initial vibration and I can turn on the flashlight by holding power.

I've disassembled and reassembled it several times now without a change in results. The one thing I suspect, but I'm not sure if it matters or not, is this. The socket on the motherboard for the ribbon cable going to the lcd has this black clip that you fold up to remove it. When I first folded it up, it came off. I can't get it back in. The cable seems to stay in fine, and I put a piece of tape over it for safety.

So does that black clip matter, or am I missing anything else obvious?

It seems this is more common than I thought :p I will post instructions here soon as to how I got it fixed
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencervb256:
So for those who try to replace the screen on the motor x pure and damage the black clip holding the LCD flex cable in place...

1.) As soon as the black clip comes off you have damaged the phone. It is only meant to pried up with something thin like fingernails, and using a tool such as a plastic spudger will most likely break the clip.

2.) This mysterious black clip : I don't know what exactly it does but I am pretty sure it connects some of thing metal connectors, and if it is broken some of the connectors are most likely also broken, NOT GOOD.

3.) If you get no response from the screen when booting up but get a vibration, then the connectors most likely are the issue.

Right off the bat I'll say you need to find a specialized repair shop which does micro soldering. I took mine to many places first labeled as "phone repair stores" but they were unable to do anything, and the only place was a company which did micro soldering.

In my case, the repair shop had to order the part in to solder on, and they had to order from China, so I do not know how accessible the connectors are.

I hope this helps and be sure to hit the thanks button if it does help, feel free to send me a PM as well if anyone has any questions regarding this topic :)
