iphone killer? just like the stupid phrase "ipod killer" the only iphone killer is probably the next generation iphone... I love my Titan even with all the idiosyncracies of WM but in my humble opinion, I believe the iphone is probably won't have the same fate as the Newton.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StangATX:
It can! All you gotta do is uninstall Magisk and it'll ask you to restore the stock boot image. Once you've done that. All you need to do is downloading FlashFire [Root] and flash the OTA. :good:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blankfile99:
Hi guys, after many tries, many googling and youtube research, I dicided to share my problem with our community

1. At sunday, my galaxy tab started to restart continuously, It was recharging and I took some time to see.

2. I tried to activate USB DEBUGGING but when It Restarts, it's usb debugging is disabled again.

3. I'm using Stock Rom Again...was;

4.Using Stock Recovery.

5. Tried to install many others recovery's with odin and it seems to be ok but after a restart, its all back to stock recover.

6. Tried to install Stock FW again by Odin and its stuck about 50% FAIL

7. Tried to install CFW and Other Roms by SD Card but it shows a messege "Failed to check Signature" aborting... maybe because of stock recover.

8. Not rooted, usb debugging DISABLE

9 Tried to activate USB Debugging by odin, installing a patch, without success.

10 Samsung KIES does not recognize it in Download Mode.

11. I have samsung drivers installed.

one more information, when I start in recovery Mode, it shows first an android pic and a messege NO COMMAND, then proceeds to RECOVERY(STOCK).

What Can I do?? I Did Everything I can find on Internet. Is there a phisical problem??

Best Regards!!

Seems like a similar issue like mine. Check my post about behavior of my tab 2 7" (P3100) at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/p3100-16gb-bricked-emmc-bug-to-t3707134

If you have symptoms similar to mine or any mentioned in the links in the post, then it seems you have a faulty emmc (internal memory).

The only solution i get to hear up till now is either to get motherboard replaced from service center or get emmc replaced from repair shop or get it jtag'ed.

Other solutions, which would avoid jtag or other service, like dual booting from SD card existed here in xda for p3100 but having stuck in stock recovery brought limitations.

If possible share all things you tried and solution if you found any.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blankfile99:
Tks for the answer, I guess we have the same problem, by the way, I already read your topic (lol), Surelly I'm gonna find some technical assistance , the hard thing is to find these kind of stuff, but let's see. I'm gonna share any solution, see ya!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john99ap:
If you install a custom recovery and then reboot to system, it will automatically install the stock recovery again unless you are rooted. To avoid this uncheck the "reboot system when finished" box in odin and after installing the recovery boot directly into it.

Stock recovery is only for installing official updates, not for custom roms. You need a custom recovery for that.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] validatus:
hello

cfautoroot

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amarb:
Thanks, but we I tried this too. The issue is possibly our emmc is gone into permanant write protection state as far as i have studied. i tried unchecking the "reboot system when finished" box and even pulling battery after getting odin status as success for recovery as suggested in some threads but nothing helped.

Even if i do a factory reset from recovery all data would remain as is, nothing deleted!

[MENTION=4769826]blankfile99[/MENTION] i agree its hard to find stuff, for me jtag service is more than 500kms from my place!

I am searching for any possibility to boot from external sd card. The thing existed for p3100 (one mentioned here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1866675 which allows sd boot) and the other is the blackhawk NEXT https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285366 but this is not suitable for our case where no modifications in emmc contents are possible. Devs were able to carry out sd boot for nook color tab .

But again I am stuck trying the dual boot mentioned above at how to flash the sd boot build rom zip file to sd card since stock recovery gives signature verification failure....

Great struggle to keep the tab working...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clappertrap:
I had the same issue - here is what I did (I'm writing this as much for me later on, as for you!). This should be fine for your device - but of course, the usual "no guarantees" applies.....

I assume you have downloaded the appropriate files ?

- I used philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (google it)

- Odin3 v1.85

1) Install / Start Odin on computer

2) Start device in download mode For my P5100 - I held down power and the UP volume button.

3) Connect USB cable to computer. In ODIN, Click PDA and select the downloaded philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (or whatever you're going to use).

4) in ODIN - UNTICK "Auto- Reboot" and Re-Partition is unticked - leave Reset Time ticked.

5) Click start. you should get the "PASS" All threads completed.

6) Disconnect USB cable

7) - important bit - Press and hold down POWER and Volume DOWN together at same time for about 15 seconds. This hopefully will restart into PhilZ mod.

Let me know how it goes.

Have you tried reading and following this - also read the older threads

You may need to install Samsung kies

You should also try with a newer / different cable as that could be the issue. I had this same problem and when I swapped to newer cable it solved the issue. Just try different things.

[Fire TV General] bibikalka:
I made some notes for my own use, and am posting them here since could help others too.

The goal is to preserve the earliest FireOS version that you get, and not let it get updated by Amazon on a whim.

I am starting with a Black Friday bought Fire stick, FireOS 5.2.4.2 (574263220)

The procedure needs to be done rather quickly (10-15 min), without leaving Fire stick idling - otherwise it may update on its own.

Unpack FireTV stick 2, plug it in into a low power USB adapter, usually a TV USB port, it should complain, that is great, as another barrier for skipping an immediate update

Set up a dedicated slow router, limit upload/download speed to 50 kbps (this is the trickiest part, I have a dedicated Tomato router which I use to control traffic to the Fire stick)

Connect Fire stick to this slow router

Once Fire stick finds Internet, it'll immediately have "Checking for updates" on the screen, this is where the slow router should kick in, and do the trick forcing the update to give up

Wait a bit for updates, should eventually fail, press "back" button on the Remote if needed

Sign in to Amazon account when prompted

In "Settings/Device/Developers Options", turn on ADB debugging to ON, Unknown sources to ON

Connect to ADB via network, disable OTA updates:

adb connect 192.168.1.XXX (your Fire stick IP address here)
adb.exe uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
adb.exe uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

Navigate to the Settings option on Fire and reboot

Verify that updates are disabled (Settings/Device/About/Check for System Update - click, should get "System Update Error")

Now Fire stick is safe to play with, it won't do an OTA

More regular customizations

Connect to your normal fast router, no longer need precautions

Install Morelocale2 (from here):

adb install MoreLocale2-v2.3.1.apk

Give Morelocale2 permissions :

adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

Run Morelocal2 on Fire stick, choose your language, if cannot find, go here(Settings/Applications/Manage Installed Applications/More Locale2/Launch Application)

Install SmartYouTubeTV_Orig_v6.12.02_r.apk :

adb install SmartYouTubeTV_Orig_v6.12.02_r.apk

(from https://smartyoutubetv.github.io/en/)

Install Crosswalk library to support 1080p and above in SmartYouTubeTV for this link

adb install "Crosswalk Project Runtime_v23.53.589.4_apkpure.com.apk"

Launch SmartYouTubeTV (Settings/Applications/Manage Installed Applications/SmartYouTubeTV/Launch Application)

Connect SmartYouTubeTV to your google account via ""youtube.com/activate" using the provided code

Continue customizing as you are pleased, by following, for example, this guide by [MENTION=8557977]Bropinski[/MENTION]
[Fire TV General] Bropinski:
Great post! :good:

One question, once the Fire Stick starts checking for updates, would powering off the router that it's connected to allow you to skip the "Checking for updates" part?
[Fire TV General] bibikalka:
The problem is that after giving up on updates it'll ask to go to Amazon registration, so at that point you'll probably need to get your connection back.
[Fire TV General] Michajin:
Nice guide. I'd be surprised if the fire stick2 ever gets root. Been out for a while and I don't think any developers are working on it. My hope is that it gets upgraded to android M or N and there are easy flaws exploited to get root (i'm assuming you are blocking updates to get root someday). Been on blocked updates for about a year and it seems like I'm just missing out of bug fixes! I don't think Amazon would block smart youtube tv, they are already giving alternate ways to get on youtube that bypasses googles block.
[Fire TV General] bibikalka:
So far so good for me here with Smart Youtube TV - and it also removed the ads!
[Fire TV General] linuxsociety:
My fire tv stick will be here tomorrow so I'm preparing for it, what I've done so far is put this in my hotspot's /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 amzdigital-a.akamaihd.net
127.0.0.1 amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net
127.0.0.1 softwareupdates.amazon.com
127.0.0.1 updates.amazon.com

I plan to hook it to low power USB on first boot of course and sign into my account. Does anyone know of any new host amazon checks for updates because I have only found these referenced from over 6 months ago, and amazon could have easily changed the behavior in the firmware being shipped. Also I'm aware this method is not going to work anytime the stick is connected to a different wireless lan, but that should not happen by mistake in my case.

PS I've avoided the firetv stick due to proprietary restrictions as with any similar device sold by a big name company, but my woman decided she wanted one for the price after we was shipped an android tv box without the original remote control and no way to power it on as it lacked a physical button, the fire stick was what we went with along with an OTG cable with 3 usb ports. Anyway I'm a semi-retired developer for other devices, so I look forward to contributing anything I possibly can to the community here. Thanks guys!
[Fire TV General] bibikalka:
I actually have a number of these now, they work real good, especially with sideloaded apps. To take this to the next level, root would be good. I recently tried with Kingoroot running on a PC, but it failed.

Btw, try to avoid WiFi connection as in this post here (Part I). That's a different Fire device, but who knows, it might be possible to bypass WiFi connection and updates without any router workarounds.

[Fire TV General] r.sorujlall:
Unfortunately i can't seem to do this. i've tired multiple ways to skip the update at first setup from completely blocking amazon updates servers on the router to limiting the internet speed. no matter what i keep getting stuck at the page that says "unable to update your fire stick" and the remote app on both my phones don't detect the fire stick to connect to it. i'm stucked
[Fire TV General] xhostluv:
what version tv stick 1 or 2?? try to search on application exactly after you connect to your network the stick must be on the same network. Try to disconnect all others devices from that network, to keep only the stick and the phone... it will find the stick and it will prompt the pair code. After that press multiple times on settings on app.

sorry for me English
[Fire TV General] r.sorujlall:
it's the fire stick 2nd gen. just bought it today. both the stick and the phone are on the same wifi.

just to verify. after the update fails and the fire stick is at the page that says "unable to update your fire TV stick" all you do is open the amazon remote app on your phone and it shows up?

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

so update. i got the remote app to work on my phone and connect to the fire stick. it seems the issue was my wireless router was blocking it. i swapped out the router with a older one and it worked. i was able to bypass the setup screen and go to settings. now unfortunately it seems that newer fire sticks like mine come pre-shipped with version OS 5.2.6.1 which i can't disable ota debload on.

Might as well just let it update and get it over with since i can't do anything on this version of the os
[Fire TV General] xhostluv:
if you don't want updates you can report you fire tv stick 2 as lost or stolen. If you do this you can't use amazon services anymore and you should install another launcher.
[Fire TV General] r.sorujlall:
that wouldn't really help in my case as the stick already came with a updated os version that can't uninstall the built in apps. anyway i already set it up and let it update from 5.2.6.1 to 5.2.6.2.

the stick already came from amazon with os 5.2.6.1. from what i understand only os 5.2.6.0 and below you can use adb on to uninstall amazon apps which was what i mainly wanted to do since i don't use any amazon services. i just wanted a stick for netflix, youtube and hulu that i already pay for
