[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
Well, that makes only partial sense to me,

since getting into that bulk mode normally

requires active effort, which does not quite

match my interpretation of what you wrote

(i.e. "sometimes boots into", which sounds

unprovoked/spontaneous to me).

BUT, that's the better scenario; so, let's

just celebrate briefly and move on.

The image indicates that the bootloader is

now unlocked. I think it may have already

been unlocked before, but I'm not sure.

And, frankly, it doesn't really matter now.

What I gather from your original post,

you end up back in fastboot when you

reboot. Is that still the case?

What happens if you hold Volume-Up

and Power to reboot? No TWRP?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
[MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] - keep in mind he can boot a suitable twrp image from fastboot if the bootloader is unlocked. Might provide an expedited path to a bootable system partition.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FumundaSaq:
Holding volume up and power just gets me back into fastboot. As for the sometimes boots into bulk mode, i didn't really mean spontaneous just that there are times when i tried to force it into bulk mode that Windows sar it only as unrecognized usb device and other times Windows sees it correctly. It only attempted bulk mode when i tried to put it there. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm new to this bulk mode thing.

If i remember, i put it into bulk mode using the commands

Fastboot -i 0x1949 erase aboot

Fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

I probably messed up something doing that so feel free to berate me for that ;)

I will follow whatever instructions you have. I really appreciate the help.

[MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] Just tested the volume up + power again and booted into twrp! Not sure why it never did before. Maybe I am just an idiot or didn't wait long enough. I did reboot with vol up and power but got a grey kindle logo and then nothing. Connected it to my pc and tried adb devices and there was one. The SN was strange, it read 0123456789abcd which obviously isn't correct. But I sent the command adb reboot recovery and then let it shut off, held the vol up and power and now I'm in twrp!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FumundaSaq:
I sideloaded Lineage os and gapps now. It is working! Thanks for the help!!! Not sure what I was doing wrong before but I appreciate your guidance. Thanks to both [MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] for bearing with me. You guys have the patience of Saints!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
I'm still confused by your story, but I'm glad it worked in the end.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FumundaSaq:
I realize that you probably are. For all I know it would have worked to begin with. I don't know what happened. I'm just strange that way.

If you have a specific question I would be glad to try to answer it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Praxxer1:
I, too, am stuck in fastboot mode after I seemingly flashed TWRP and aboot. Could you elaborate what you did to fix the issue? I held power button + Vol UP and no TWRP mode, just goes back to fastboot...I think my issue is I forgot to run get_code.bat before erasing aboot, and now I can't unlock nor boot into the stock ROM. Is there anyway to unlock through just fastboot or even restore the stock ROM? I don't mind reloading and going through the process all over again.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
I recently purchased a Galaxy S5 model (SM-G900L) and want to flash it with the (SM-G900I) firmware. Is this possible using only Odin? No root etc?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
NO. It is not possible.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
Will it just not accept the firmware or will it cause problems?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 西村大一:
It will not accept the firmware. And if it accepts it, then all sort of problems will come. Not now, but at a later date.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knojap:
It is possible. Install TWRP. Make a zip from the original rom and install it as a zip by TWRP.

Tool to create zip is:

Assayed Kitchen

Im Using the G900F Rom for an G900T3 Phone.

But you can't flash another modem, firmware or modem from another phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
I am not so much worried about the modem it's just that the L I bought has tonnes of Korean text in places I can't change along with the apps that have no relevance to me. Flashing it with the Aussie I firmware would be really helpful just to remove that stuff.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knojap:
I don't know what L means? Is it Quadcore Snapdragon?

You can't damage your phone by flashing the firmware via Zip in TWRP.

The worst case is to install the Original Firmware again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumbows:
Sorry I was abbreviating. L as in SM-G900L as opposed to SM-G900I.

You need an unlocked boot loader to use TWRP right?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knojap:
Yes, you can do it by installing the correct version of TWRP by ODIN.

Maybe you'll have to acktivate the OEM Feature in the Developer Options first.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] vortex-5:
Hi all I've just joined the OnePlus5 train.

Everything is great but I have one app in particular that does not seem to backup it's messages to the cloud. In fact it's stored on the phone only (most likely in the data folder).

Does anyone here know of a way to move the data from the old phone to the new phone? My Phone is rooted so you have access to all the fun tools in this case.

I tried a manual move of the /data/data/app-name but it appears there's a permission issue as I can't set the new folder to the correct owner after (mixplorer)

You can install Titanium Backup from the Play Store.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MrBiggzz:
Hello!

What I'm trying to do is record the frequency of apps that I use. I'd plan on making a database and then just updating a counter field by 1 each time the app is used.

Now .. here's my problem. In the profile there is the application context but I'd have to check off every app I have on my phone. That could become a real pain if I add apps. I like to try different apps to see if they're any good, so I'd still like to track those. There is zero in the event context to detect an app launch or the app being used in the foreground.

I'm not sure if there is a shell command to get such information either and if there is can an unrooted device access it?

I appreciate the help/input!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dave812:
I am running unlocked firmware on the T-Mobile network, which I prefer over T-Mobile firmware for many reasons. The only feature I feel as though I'm missing from the T-Mobile firmware is RCS messaging. Does anyone have insight on how that could be activated on the unlocked firmware?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
You need to be on the T-Mobile CSC, basically no way to do it without being on T-Mobile firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jeffyv2:
Flash the newest TMO CSC and CP it should be under cloud and accounts in settings 'multi line settings'

Sent from my SM-G955U1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dave812:
If you do that, won't it return the T-Mobile boot and disable smart call, effectively restoring T-Mobile firmware? I believe that's the case, and if so, not worth it IMHO.

Thank you, though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Blackhawk163:
Just flash the G955U1UEU1AQG2 Firmware and keep the Tmobile modem. You then have an unbranded phone with RCS and smart call. I got to keep my video calling, though from what I read, your mileage may vary on video calling.

the thread I followed Here

Unless I'm reading you wrong and you're not using a Tmo S8+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araltd:
What do you gain by flashing back Tmobile cp/CSC?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] stmims1124:
I did exactly what others are suggesting a few weeks ago...flashed the U1 XAA firmware and just the TMB CP file. While most everything worked, RCS did not, and in fact I couldn't send/receive MMSs from my girlfriend who also has a TMB U model. I had to flash the TMB CSC to get it all working again, which yes means you are then stuck with the T-Mobile splash screen and you no longer have the native scam blocking, and at the same time the T-Mobile Name ID app for scam blocking doesn't work, That being said, you can still use dialer codes to get T-Mobile's scam blocking to work. It's not the native Samsung s**t, but it works.

To enable Scam ID or Scam Block and check their statuses:

#ONI# (#664#) – Enable Scam ID

#ONB# (#662#) – Enable Scam Block

#OFB# (#632#) – Disable Scam Block

#STS# (#787#) – Check Scam Block enabled status
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dave812:
Thanks for that! Yes I tried the above too. No RCS unless on T-Mobile firmware (flashing CSC counts as the same!). Unlocked/unbranded firmware isn't worth giving up for RCS and video calling imo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Araltd:
The rcs messaging was working for me with Samsung messages app, but I recently got a android wear watch and it wanted me to use android messages (Google's messaging app NOT Samsung's) and rcs doesn't work? I guess that's just part of it?

I can not long see the other person has read the message, or when they are typing while I'm using Google Android message app.

Hey can anyone help me with a fix? I have struggled with limited space on my Nvidia Shield 16gb. So i have usb 3.0 drive to expand storage and to use as internal storage. However Kodi has performance issues and lag if i am using my usb external for storage expansion. Sorry if this has been answered already. Can someone point me in the right direction....is this a simple fix? haven't been on XDA in a few yrs.

Thanks in advance.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jionny:
If you are talking about a usb flash drive yes it will be slow a better option is using a usb attached hard disk drive
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunjamon:
I think it will also depend on which drive you have. Here are some recommended USB flash drives.

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4334
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsoflyyup:
Yeah i used one of the recommended usb flash drive..the lexar one. I noticed that the overall performance is sluggish. Not only does Kodi lag... navigation around the menus stalls periodically. More freezes (wait/force close) messages.

For now i just move all my data back to internal until i can find a solution
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knalbone:
Did you ever find a solution? I just bought a Shield and am experiencing the same thing.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBsasuke:
I had the same problem with nvidia and kodi until I bought one

SANDISK EXTREME PRO USB 3.1 SOLID STATE FLASH DRIVE 256gb so far all good I do not see performance delay in kodi nor in the system I have already 3 months using as storage compatibility and everything is still okay so far greetings
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digimancer:
I have always had similar lag issues using external mechanical hdd. Usually I just use old laptop hard drives in an enclosure. An odd thing that has also happened is that Kodi has over time (takes about a year) killed my hdd to the point that a PC won't even low level reformat it. I am on my second drive now and after about a year, it is starting to fail as well.

One thing that is very noticeable, and possibly the culprit, is the amount of drive activity going on when Kodi is just sitting idle on the home menu. This is also the main reason I haven't tried an ssd, because if these are write cycles and not just read cycles, I'm pretty sure it will trash an ssd.

I have read in other threads that people using much nicer drives than I am are having the same issue of an eventually dead hdd/ssd. I have a feeling this will also apply to flash sticks as well, so I'd warn to not toss too nice of a drive on there!

my gmail worked fine until this morning when i plugged it into my pc using active sync, one thing i noticed at the time is that active sync didn't do anything, i didn't think anything of it because i was only on to charge my phone really quick, it's the fist time i've had my phone plugged into my pc in about 2 weeks, it worked fine before, but now active synt doesn't do anything every since this morning now my gmail doesn't send/receive, i looked at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=357829&highlight=gmail+error and i get similar errors, "error syncronizing" and the pop up bubble that says cannot connect, and gives you the settings or dismiss options. i can't see were i can turn off active sync on the phone either, i'm using vista home and a tilt, any ideas on what this could be?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] liquidsilver:
Not sure about Active Sync, but double check your gmail settings to be sure you didn't revert back to the standard ports.

Help Needed

This is a complete long shot, but i have this old tablet laying around which after searching on google images i believe to be a EKEN T10 or T10a, but it has no firmware on it, so i cant be completely sure which one. Also there is no name model number on the casing.

I want to give it to my niece as a first tablet to get her used to having one, before i go out and pay good money for one.

Anyway Im hoping someone can send me a link to where i can get the firmware for this tablet. :confused:

Any help will be appreciated.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] serubin323:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
As soon as FedEx gets over this long weekend and gets me my phone, I'll do the Magisk root and post about it here.

Until then, I'm just stuck twiddling my thumbs and doing other stuff.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hx3:
I wonder if any custom development will become available for this phone. Yeah, we can unlock the bootloader (pretty useless without a custom recovery) and possibly have root via Magisk (which is fine on the stock ROM), but I have a feeling devs may be staying away from the Essential. Whether it's due to the somewhat negative reviews and new Pixels coming out soon.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] drocny87:
in order to root w/ magisk via fastboot, we need the stock.img which isnt available.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] asarjip:
It is my humble projection that the Essential will soon become one of the leaders in the ROM/development world.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Relax man... I've seen development for far less popular phones that were far more locked down... Most people that ordered don't even have their phones yet though... give it another week or two to pick up. I paid for my order about 2 weeks ago and it's not getting delivered till Tuesday or Wednesday and there are many others who don't even have tracking info yet.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] budeone:
You guys are probably right. Right now I don't even need root. There is no crap Ola I need to freeze with tibu.. I will still root as soon as it comes. This is the first time I bought a phone that did not come from a carrier.. Jeez what a difference
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
I want root simply so that I can add LMT pie controls, hide the nav bar and run adaway. Other than that, there's very little I need root for these days.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] drocny87:
im looking to root for adaway and volume skip track. other then that i really have no other need to root. TB for apps would be nice as well.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tardis_42:
Try Unique Controls (play store) for pie. Nav bar can be partially hidden with an adb code to enable immersive mode, however this seems to cause layout issues because of the odd status bar implementation. Unfortunately this affects LMT, hence my going with a different app for now. I have a Tasker profile going with AutoTools to turn off immersive mode in apps I know don't work, and I'm getting my full screen pie goodness in about 80% of apps.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
Yeah I know how to get it all to work without root but its wonky that way.. Need root and SEL set correctly for everything to fully work without the jankiness.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tardis_42:
Sorry, what's SEL?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] NeutronBomb:
The main reason that I use LMT or pie controls in general is so that I have a menu button.. mainly so that in chrome I don't have to reach all the way to the opposite corner to open the menu (since I hold the phone in my left hand 99% of the time). The menu button will not work properly on LMT if you do not have SEL set to permissive. I'm not 100% sure exactly what SEL does but I think its like the SELinux security policy for the kernel or rom. Not a dev, my knowledge is limited..lol I just know it needs to be set to permissive for stuff like that to work properly.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
For ad blocking look up AdClear.

It's an on device VPN that blocks ads. No root required.

V4A or ARISE is a must for me. Especially when coming from the U11's excellent audio performance.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tardis_42:
Netguard (the XDA distributed version, not the Play Store one) can do the same, and is open source, which is a must for any app that wants to pass all my data through itself. That's a lot of trust.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] drocny87:
In order for the magisk root via adb we need the stock boot img which isn't available.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
Yea I figured that out. I poked at it every single way I could think of to pull the boot partition from it, but so far she's pretty locked down. Sigh

Yeah I downloaded it and checked it out and then saw that too lol. Oh well.. I'm sure this will be rooted soon once more people have some time with it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] drocny87:
2 ways to root this device would be if TWRP was available to flash magisk or using adb to flash magisk with no custom recovery which requires us to have the boot.img
