[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pcmanager:
I have an update on my 3rd note 4 that I am still using. Over the last 3 weeks it has started to show signs of the emmc memory failure. It has been restarting a lot on its own I noticed that because some apps that I have to open initially and then they remain open in the notification panel are closed and I have to enter my backup password as the fingerprint scanner does not work the first time on a restart. I installed and started using a wakelock program and it seemed to be successful for a couple days. Then when I pulled my phone out today I noticed that the blue light was solid and the Samsung logo across the screen was pulsing. I pulled the battery and was able to restart the phone and have now made backups of all my important data as I know it won't be long until this phone completely fails because of the emmc memory bug that is set to take out my third Note 4. If I had paid full price for the phones that would be $2,100 plus tax. What a racket Samsung has been running on us.

I contacted the lawyers that have filed the class action lawsuit today and if they respond I will update this thread or if anyone else has info please post here.

Ok, I have a friend who won a Fire 7 running FireOS 5.4.0.1 from a raffle and wanted a bit less Amazon and a bit more Google, so through reading various threads, the following is the best I could do for him:

1. Download and Install Amazon Kindle/Fire drivers from Amazon Dev site: https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/redist/kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip

2. Download Fire 7th Generation OS 5.4.0.0 from https://fireos-tablet-src.s3.amazon...Uqo/update-kindle-55.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin

3. Download Updated Fire Utility (includes ADB + other tools): https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/amazon-fire-utility-tool-bloat-removal-t3641151

3. Boot into recovery (Volume Down + Power at the same time), then select update over ADB with volume + enter

4. Using Fire Utility adb, sideload 5.4.0.0 using the command "adb sideload update-kindle-55.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin"

5. Use Updated Fire Utility to Remove Amazon OTA, Remove Lockscreen ads, Remove Preloaded apps, and Install Google Services.

6. Optionally, also use Updated Fire Utility to Switch the Default Launcher to Nova Launcher.

Hopefully this will help someone new.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Methanoid:
thanks, it will... but can I ask why you need to downgrade to 5.4.0.0 from 5.4.0.1 and isnt the Fire 7 on 5.6.0.0 now? Not got one but curious to know what I could do with one if I did get one...

EDIT: I see, the Fire Utility (debloat etc) only works on 5.4.0.0 ... and there is ONE report we can downgrade from 5.6.0.0 (not seen 5.6.0.1 report)
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigEasy88:
Typically, the earlier you can roll a device back to, the better chance of someone finding a vulnerability before it's patched by the developer. I wouldn't get your hopes up, for someone finding that vulnerability in 5.4.0.0 and up, but ya never know.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonsoXDA:
I just received my Fire 7 shipped with 5.4.0.0 in an orange box.

To do the first start with WLAN I put my mobile into Tethering with GSM only. Connected with the Phone via WLAN the login worked and I switched off the Tethering before the update was loaded and restarted the Fire -> My device is still on 5.4.0.0

May be this works for others as well. I now will try to run the top 5 and 6.

I'm wondering whether I can avoid a later update to a current version.

Is this for the HD8 (8" screen)? I just got it, trying to do it right BEFORE letting it connect to wifi... so dont even know my OS version.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoxForceFive:
Just to confirm, I've just done this on a 5.6.0.1 7th gen Fire (UK amazon bought) with no issues.

I'd already installed the google parts & linked my google account, & switched to Nova using Hijack, all which stayed after the downgrade (I didnt factory reset first). I did switch the internet access off on my router when I rebooted after the adb sideload downgrade step just in case it found an upgrade before I got the Fire Utility Tool connected to switch off OTA updates using that, which may be worth doing in all cases.

My Fire is now probably close to twice as fast as before now, staggering improvement.

I get unknown device KFAUWI when I connect a Fire 7 7th gen to a pc in recovery mode. ADB does not list the device. I also get unknown device MT65xx preloader when I connect in normal mode but is able to connect through adb.

Confirmed to work on US Fire 7 (7th-gen) w/5.6.0.0 as well!

ADDITIONAL USE CASE/CONFIRMATION: Just did this on a 5.6.0.0 7th-gen Fire 7 (US).

My only issue was that adb didn't "see" the device when it was in recovery mode (i.e. just before the adb sideload). The device self-identified as KFAUWI, and Windows 7 couldn't find a device driver for that ID. I went into Device Manager and manually applied the "Android Composite ADB Device" driver, and all was well from there on out.

Yes, the device seems almost twice as fast.

Many thanks!

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

I got hit by this as well.

If you're running Windows, you should be able to open Device Manager (with the device connected in recovery mode) and find the KFAUWI device - you can then manually apply the "Android Composite ADB Interface" driver.

Once I did this, I was able to follow the remaining instructions with no problems. (My device is a US Fire 7, 7th-gen, was running 5.6.0.0)

Gmail and Kindle Books app

Can anyone who has downgraded and debloated confirm that:

1) Can you reinstall the Kindle Book reader app from Google Play and get it to work?

Currently, on 5.6.0.0, if you let Google Play update the Amazon Kindle Book app, it quits working:

2) Can you get Google Gmail (or the Google Inbox app) to work on it? Currently those apps fail on 5.6.0.0 (maybe due to Amazon blocking them vs not enough permissions):

Th kindle app is still there, I found it listed on es file Explorer but it on start, just hangs on 'syncing account'.

I'm sure there'd be a way to fix this (& the alexa app which also won't start at all), but I don't know it.

Gmail works fine once you manage to get it stay open long enough to get settings & disable 'auto download images in emails'.

The kindle & alexa app not working are annoying me, but this device was almost unusable before I debloated it so I'll live without them if I need to.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Both issues are likely a consequence of over aggressive "debloating". The processes doesn't actually uninstall apps/services; it neutralizes them while leaving the component installed. That effectively blocks any future updates/replacements regardless of source.

The solution is a factory reset followed by less aggressive debloating that leaves the Alexa and Kindle apps (plus any supporting services) alone.

Need some help please....

I am trying to run the utility on my Fire 7 Gen 7.

I was able to get the software rolled back to 5.4.0 successfully.

When I try to run anything in the utility, I get an error that "The system cannot find the path specified".

I saw the other posts regarding the driver and updating it.

I have tried several drivers since this did not work.

I deleted them all, then reinstalled the drivers in the link above.

I still get the same error.

Any suggestions?

I am fairly new to the Android world (I'm an iOS guy but have done plenty of programming and am used to working on command prompts, etc.).

I have searched and spent several hours on this now, so it's time to wave the white flag and ask for help.

DO NOT UPDATE your Tab A to Android 7.x IF YOU HAVE A CUSTOM "free FONT" PACKAGE!

A screenshot of the update prompt on my SM-P355 can be seen here. However, I have to prevent it from updating, because I have a custom free font package

This is just a warning. It seems that Samsung has finally released what I call "Samsung Experience 8.5 Lite" (which itself runs on top of Android 7.1.1) for the 2015 models of the Galaxy Tab A, however, I'm posting this here for anyone else who has not updated, and their device is not rooted (like mine, because

there is no root for the P355 on Android 6.x when I last checked

)

However, do not upgrade to Android 7.x if you have a custom "free font" package installed!

This is usually created by taking the "regular" TTF file of a "free for personal use" font (in my case, Comic Neue) and using an app like HiFont or iFont to convert it into a FlipFont package. However, those apps have their own font catalogues, which often mix commercial fonts (like from Monotype, who themselves created the FlipFont system Samsung uses) with free fonts, but Samsung just sees that as "font piracy", not giving users a way to use fonts that are "free for personal use", or even completely free to use.

View attachment 4275907

Click the link above to see what happens when trying to use a "free font" package in Samsung Experience 8.5. As you can see,

the font previews fine, but the Settings app refuses to set it.

I actually have a Galaxy Note8, and that was how I was able to do that, and the content of my posts in the thread I'll mention next.

With that,

I have a whole thread on trying to find ways to bypass the FlipFont verification mechanism

, and also the fact that I'm thinking of starting a petition against Samsung to allow free fonts under certain circumstances, such as if a copy of the font's licence is included within the package, however, I do not have the right "contacts" to start such a petition.

More information in my posts in that thread

. If I do find a way to bypass verification, possibly using Substratum + "Sungstratum", which itself most likely won't run on the Tab A due to the lack of a Samsung Themes app to hijack, I'll spin that off into a separate thread, or even a DevDB project.

I double checked to ensure Play Services is up to date.

I downloaded an updated version of phone services from the Play Services apk mirror. When I opted to install it, the install was unsuccessful, responding with a message of "App not installed. The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name."

Hi, I have a galaxy note 4 sm-n910f and i recently updated the bootloader. Now the phone turns on and as soon as it hits the lockscreen it goes back to the samsung restarting screen please help. Thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vygravlil:
Hello!

Seems like the bootloader file is damaged.

- Try to downgrade the bootloader to the version you were using before

or

- try to flash your current one again, but ensure you're not flashing the file that could have caused your problem (as I said, the bootloader file is most likely the issue).

Also check if you're using the proper bootloader for your device. (For example, N910C bootlader won't work for N910F)

This should do the trick.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] We7dy:
Hi,

I would like to do the last update for the Mi A1, but without losing the root. I'm rooted with CF-Auto-Root and SuperSu is installed without TWRP. How can I do? Possible with FlashFire?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ex-Hunter:
AFAIK it isn't possible. There is a feature in MagiskManager that lets you root the OTA update in the second slot but its not working for our device yet. The same goes for FlashFire.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] justin97530:
Just updated today, here's what I did

- Uninstall FlashFire (prevented update from installing)

- Performed full unroot in SuperSU

- Installed update and restarted

- Used Fastboot to boot into CFAR (N2G47H.7.10.14_t1)

- Reinstalled FlashFire

- Used FlashFire to flash SuperSU zip on current slot, also used EverRoot to inject SuperSU, again on current slot.

It should flash SuperSU and reboot back into the normal system, which should be rooted.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Kandern97:
So, I too rooted my phone using the CF-Auto-Root. I tried to unroot through SuperSU, but it didn't work. I also tried to flash the boot.img, and that didn't work either. I'm new to all of this, and I don't really know what I'm doing.

How can I actually unroot this sucker?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] justin97530:
What do you mean by it "didn't work"? What steps have you tried? You're not supposed to flash the CFAR boot.img, instead you should use `fastboot boot boot.img` to boot into it (don't do anything after it's run, it'll automatically boot), use FlashFire to flash the zip version of SuperSU (found here http://supersu.com/download), and then reboot normally on the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Chazy12:

Can I use the SuperSu OTA survival mode? Maybe it works?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Kandern97:
Ok, so here's what I did.

I followed kraatus90's guide to using CF-Auto-Root. I ran the .bat executable, and I rooted my phone. Everything works. I downloaded SuperSU from the Play Store to manage the apps.

I then tried to lock the bootloader, and got the "The system was destroyed" error. So, I had to unlock it again for the phone to function.

I went into the SuperSU app and tried to do the full permanent unroot, but all I got was "Uninstallation Failed"

So, then I went to find a stock boot.img, and got one.

Now, I don't know how to reverse what I did.

I tried booting into the stock boot.img from fastboot mode, and it looked like it worked because my rooted apps spotted working, but I wasn't able to download the latest security patch.

Those are the steps I did, and I don't know how to proceed further.

EDIT 1: So, after toying around with it some more, and trying to recover the stock.img in both FlashFire, and SuperSU, and trying to flash an external stock.img through fastboot, I think I know what the problem is.

I think that the A/B partitions are what are getting me in trouble. Do I need to change the active partition through fastboot? do I need to flash something to one of the partitions through FlashFire? What can I do?

EDIT 2: So turns out, you need to use fastboot flash boot_b boot.img, and then it'll work.
