[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
I suppose because updates require a lot of storage I/O so it heats up more and that causes the solder to expand enough to trigger the cracked connection to do its job lol. It also heats up the CPU more than updating system over PC. Thermal pads are cheap. You can, however use aluminum foil just for the test but thermal pads are safer to use.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Hi and thanks again for your reply. Well, I can tell you that it is getting worse, I had random reboots and one or two blue screens for no reason, other than just normal usage. I went to the link you provided but the links in that original post to the images no longer work, however I did find the images so just need to ask, what you refer to as the SSD is that the Sandisk 16GB SDIN9DW4 memory as in the image attached?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
That is correct. It is an emmc 5.0 spec. Remember to put pressure on both sides of the board (on ssd and ram)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Thanks will do. Now to try to find thermal pads here in South Africa!!! LOL
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
You can try with something else just to test if it works haha. Then you can search for thermal pads. You should be able to find them in a computer shop.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Thanks I'm sure I will find somewhere. One more question if I may, do I cut the pad to fit the chip or slightly bigger or what is the best tried size for this repair?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
Yeah you can cut it in the size of the chip but it doesnt really matter as long as it isnt smaller than the chip. If you have aluminum foil at home you can try with that first. Fold it a few times until it's thick enough. Just put some tape over it in case it touches the motherboard so it doesnt short out.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Thanks but I'll rather just do it once right, so I will hunt for the thermal pads. I'm not wanting to disassemble the phone too many times.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
Disassembling the G3 is very easy. Check the guide on youtube and you'll get the motherboard out in less than 5 minutes. Just be careful with the ribbon cables. You got two on the bottom and two cameras at the top. I recommend you to try doing this before buying thermal pads just in case I was wrong and the issue is something else.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Will do and thank you for all the help!! I will post an update soon on whether the fix worked!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
Good luck!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Well it seems there is a deeper issue with this damn phone!! I finally got the thermal pad, Artctic brand, 0.5mm but as soon as i apply the pads to the areas described and tighten up the phone simply refuses to switch on at all!!!. If I remove all screws from the upper frame and then try to switch on it does and blue screens immediately. So I'm thinking I just need to suck it up and get a new motherboard.

Thanks to all for the help with this!

EDIT:

Seems I had to leave it for a while, as it is now switched on and booted up no problem, with pads in place and screwed down. Minor issue now is it won't read the SIM card but I have also found a fix for that. Right now I'm running updates and so far all good, no blue screen yet. Will post back on Monday after I've used it for a bit.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
If the pads dont work well enough, you can take the motherboard out, remove the metal shields and take some hard flat metal pieces that you can put on both ssd and ram (big enough to cover them), then put some aluminum foil big enough to cover the motherboard (to protect the rest of the board from heat) and take something like pliers to put pressure on both of the metal pieces (aim for the middle of chips). Then take a candle and concentrate heat on both chips. Switch sides every now and then for about 5 minutes. This is how I fixed both reboot and screen fading problem atleast temporarily.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Hi, thanks for the reply. No, the pads are working fine, so far, just that I had to loosen the lower screw on the volume/power panel in order to get the SIM card to read. But otherwise so far so good
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
Good to hear!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Hi I would just like to post an update to this,. After much battling I have finally managed to get a working phone that seems stable so far after 4 days. I'm using a 0.5mm pad on either side as the phone simply will not switch on with a 1mm pad on the screen side. Also, I had to screw down the screw I loosened at the bottom of the volume rocker/power assembly, the SIM card is still working however the SD card no longer reads but that's not a serious issue as the phone has 16GB onboard and I'm not using it for major games or movies or anything like that, purely for work email, calls/SMS, WhatsApp.

So here's hoping it will now continue to work and i will post here regularly with any updates and/or issues if that's acceptable to the moderators.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolatas:
Bare in mind, all of these fixes are not permanent, for a permanent one you need a new MOBO
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Hi, thanks for the reply. Why would you say that the fix is not permanent? The reason I ask is because there are no moving parts where I applied the fix and I don't think the thermal pads will wear out as such, so my logic would say that as long as i don't have any reason to open the phone up again, it should continue to work indefinitely, unless I'm missing something here.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolatas:
Because its depending on the dissoldering status of the SoC/RAM, more exactly the emmc chip
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Ah OK, that makes sense. Ah well, will just have to see how long it decides to last. One final question is there really any point in buying a new MOBO as surely a new MOBO will eventually exhibit the same issues or are the new ones soldered better?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolatas:
AFAIK the issue seems to hit the models made in 2014 (trough the whole year). Mine got BSOD few weeks ago and i just ordered a new mobo from aliexpress for like 60$ (on their 11.11 sale). Cos, hear this, ordering it from a legit repair shop costs ****ing 200$!. So i hope the one i ordered will be 100% working. And even if the new one exhibits the same issues it will take like 2-3 years and i hope to get a new phone till then :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcd2015:
Hi, thanks again for the reply and all the help. So far, my phone is working 100% and stable, no blue screens at all, no screen fading, no excessive heat, except for the sd card reader still not picking up sd card, but not worried about that. May I ask that you please post back when you have received your new MOBO and installed it as I have a few questions regarding the new MOBO.

Thanks so much

Hi all,

I am looking for some help in configuring my Ubuntu Linux 7.10 system to access my HTC Touch.

When in WinXP I have a "Mobile Device" icon in "My Computer" from which I can access the storage area of my Touch. I want to find out how to do the same thing in Ubuntu so that I can copy new files onto and off of my Touch.

I am not interested in syncing anything with my device such as email, contacts, tasks etc. I just want to copy files to and from my pda!

Once I can do that, I will finally move over to Linux completely.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I've been searching for a solution for about a week now and found very litle helpful info.

Thanx!
[General Topics] mr_deimos:
Well, you can try WM5torage:

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1543

It turns your PDA into a mass storage device, so it'll be seen on ubuntu (or macOS, or Windows, or any other OS supporting USB storage) as a pendrive when connected. The downside is that way you can gain access only to the storage card, not the phone's main memory.

Take a look at this and maybe after that you can enjoy your freedom, I also considering going back to kubuntu.

hi , can you help please to root kindle fire hdv 7" 3rd generation , i tried many method , too old and unworking

thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
KingRoot is the best option assuming device is running FireOS v4 (post back if on v3; there's an easier method). Multiple attempts may be required along with a factory reset. KingRoot is unsophisticated beast that often reports failure when a root exploit is known to exist. If you opt to reset do not register device with Amazon during initilization as it can reduce the odds of a successful root.

If you aiming to install the Play Store be aware it will not work (well) as Google Play Services/Frwmework and FireOS v4 do not cooperate. You will need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM first. Details here.

Be prepared for some long reads/nights and frustrating misfires. This is an aging device with limited support. Ask targeted questions as needed (might not get an immediate response). Don't expect hand holding or a scripted tutorial. If new to rooting and/or tethered operations you should probably consider another device.

What is the best custom rom for the Kindle Fire HDX 7 in your opinion? I am going to root mine which I know how to do already and I am just wondering what is the smoothest running for the HDX 7.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I believe your device is currently running a KitKat build of Fire Nexus. Doesn't get much smoother than that. However, if you desire a more contemporary UI any of the Nougat builds should work fine. I'm partial to LineageOS but don't interpret that as a ding against the others. Note: you will need to unlock the bootloader to use any of the Nougat based ROMs; root is not sufficient. Also note Fire Nexus is already rooted.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Heatherb90:
I am referring to my other Kindle Fire HDX 7 that has never been rooted. I have two they are my kids' kindles. The one that you helped me fix is running Thor. The other that I am considering rooting is running the latest update to the Kindle Fire OS for the HDX 7 which is 4.5.5.1. My son wants Google play on it but I was able to add a bunch of his favorite apps from Google Play onto it using Dropbox and transfering the APKs from his phone to his kindle with Astro and all the apps we transferred worked except Mario Run which requires Google Play Services. If I can keep him happy with it the way it is I am not going to root it but if I decide to I was just curious which was the most preferred.

I appreciate all your help!! You help all us noobs on this site for nothing and use your free time to answer our questions even when some of them are especially annoying or redundant and I am sure not just me but all of us on the forum really appreciates what you do!! YOU ROCK!! :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Thanks for the kind works. I am a big fan of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Queue collective gasp from die-hard tinkerers. If you son can get by with his device the way it is leave it alone. You'll both be happier for it. :)

Adshield

Adshield is back! Now more beautiful​

Hello everyone!

For the last few weeks I've been working on an updated version of Adshield. Some of you may know that Samsung decided to block both my KNOX license key and app because of ability to disable Bixby. Well know you can still block ads and bixby! If license activation still fails, report it to me and try generating your own key.

F.A.Q.

Q: Why is this not in the Google Play?

A: I don't have a developer account because I'm not 18 yet. If you can buy me an account, I'll worship you.

Q: Licence activation failed. What can I do?

A: Uninstall other ad blockers that use KNOX (Adhell, Adhell 2, Disconnect pro), connect to wifi, make sure you're not rooted, reboot, reinstall app. If nothing works - get a custom knox key and use that (how-to bellow). Other than that - I can do nothing.

Q: Which file to download?

A: Download lowest attached file. It should have highest number.

Q: Certain websites are blocked. How do I enter them?

A: Put them in the whitelist. App>Settings>Edit Blocked URLs>Whitelist Custom URLs.

Q: Why so many permissions?

A: All of them are needed.

Q: Does it block ads on Samsung Internet browser?

A: It blocks ads everywhere.

Q: Which Ad Blocker is the best right now?

A: At the moment this. Free, has all the features other ad blockers have and has full material design. See attached pictures of features and history

Q: How does it work?

A: https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android

How to install:

Download apk file (with the highest number).

Install apk file.

Open app, follow instructions.

Licence doesn't activate/I want to use my own KNOX key:

Sign in with your Samsung account here: https://seap.samsung.com/enrollment

Enroll as a developer.

Generate Knox Standard SDK Enterprise license key here: https://seap.samsung.com/license-keys (use any alias. If you already have a key, you can reuse it)

IFL the key starts with KLM, this is a wrong key.

Follow instructions in app when you first run it or in settings.

How to uninstall:

Open app

Open settings

Press uninstall

Known issues:

Might not activate. That's why it's still in beta.

Hello,

My tablet was working fine, but the other day when I turned it on this happens. I can at least turn it off when connected to the charger.

It will not boot into recovery. I just get the android on his back with red triangle and No Command.

I can boot into Odin download. So I am trying to install CF-Auto-Root as a precursor to installing CWM Recovery to see if I can boot into that recovery. I have downloaded and installed Odin, and downloaded N8010 version of CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifiww-p4notewifixx-gtn8010).

Using Odin to install this .tar file seems to work (I get Pass), but auto reboot, or manual reboot into recovery is still the same. Isn't booting into CF-Auto-Root. This is the Odin log;
