[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahmud92:
I have the same problem with my amazon fire hd 10 now downgraded it and screen is black same thing with usb sound when plugged into PC tried every possible buttons compilation to enter recovery still nothing happens device not recognized by ADB which I'm very familiar with as well..tried opening the device and unplugged the battery cable from inside then still nothing totally dissembled it and assembled it again same result please let me know if you find a way to bypass this problem.. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
You are permanently bricked. However there will hopefully be a fix in a week or two that would allow you to unbrick any Amazon tablet and unlock the bootloader. I have to run a few small tests on my test devices. I have on bricked HD 10 and it just takes a few minutes to complete the test. If successful, it will immediately boot again. After that we have to modify the zip files and scripts for this device.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahmud92:
I do really appreciate the effort, thanks for the fast reply as well :D will be waiting for the fix.. :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I can't make any promises. We still need to figure out if its possible. I've only glanced at the board of the 10 and it looks like it will work, but I won't know until I can perform the few tests needed. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierfreund:
Seems I joined to bricked club today (black screen, USB sound wehen plugging in).

Was on newest version (greather than 5.6.2.0, i think 5.6.3.x) and flashed 5.6.2.0.bin (latest you can download from amazon) via adb sideload for a complete reset and a clean device. I thought downgrading would not work if it would lead to problems - hm seems i was wrong ;)

I bought it on 16.01.2018 so the questions is should i try if i get a replacement from amazon or wait if there will be an solution from DragonFire1024 within the next weeks? Not sure if amazon will replace it without trouble
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I'm going as fast as I can to try and unlock this thing apparently I always get the crap end of the stick when it comes to things that are easy I always get the hard part. Until I can get out and get a kit to remove the board, we're stuck where we're at. the motherboard needs to be removed and the only way to do that as a special screwdriver and I do not have the tools. But if the weather lets up I will be able to get them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahmud92:
Try your luck by contacting Amazons Customer Service they seem quite helpful when I wrote to them, explained the situation about downgrading the version and what happened, they simply asked to do some steps like turning of and button compo etc after making sure its bricked they offered to replace it with a new one right away ..but unfortunately I'm not at USA and they can't ship the replacement to Turkey..so my only hope for now is [MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION] fix :cool:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
We have download mode on the HD 10 which means we can get our bootloader unlocked once we can execute the payload. There won't be such a thing as a bricked tablet. If you can hold off, we just need execution. We have the recovery already. Everything nearly works aside from the script to load and execute the payload. Hopefully we'll get unlocked today.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Although there are (as yet unrealized) prospects of a hardware unlock/rejunivation I would reach out to Amazon. What can it hurt? You might just score a essentially new refurb vs tearing apart your existing 'brick' with the associated risk of damaging it further. You can still pursue that option if Amazon declines to help. Why hold off...keep all options open.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkcupid:
I got the same problem with my Fire HD 10 after flashing rom. Since I don't live in the US, I can not take it back to Amazon. Hope for the fix from you :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNielsKoomans:
Hello,

My webcam recently died so I thought: "Why don't I just use my smartphone as a webcam?"

So I started using Droidcam over USB. I'm having a bit of a problem with it though and I've searched Google already but couldn't find any answers there.

What is the maximum USB 3.0/2.0 cable length Droidcam can handle? I've already tried with my charging cable (about 1 metre long), and that works but if I connect it with my 2,5 metre long cable it says "Connection lost (r)."

With kind regards,

Niels.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechieComputers:
Most USB devices with high throughput don't work if the cable length is more than around 1 to 1.5 metre. The length depends a lot on cable quality and type, but don't expect more than 2 meter even with best cable in your case.

Some electronic enthusiasts have developed some capacitor based small circuits as well as some circuits which obtain power from separate adapter and connect data on separate USB, which might work but is out of scope here.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] hollll:
Those arrows are so annoying. There is an old way to disable them by adb, but it doesn't seem to work on my xz2. When I input the adb command I get

"Security exception: Operation not permitted for user shell".

I also see someone suggest substratum, but it seems substratum does not work with xz2 either. The last resort is to disable the wifi icon altogether but it is overkill. So, what can I do? Thanks for any help.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] Nidhal AKA the king:
you can't disable them... only if you have root... and also you need to know where these icons located and how to do that!

So what does a kernel source release actually mean for the end user? I remember some time ago the Korean version got a kernel source release and nothing happened after that.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AutinDroid:
It usually means that there is two weeks to a month left
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] HKSpeed:
I want to know this too.

What does it mean the kernel sources are released? Did LG release them publicly for individuals to flashing their phones? Or was this a leaked internal file meant only for T-Mobile's technicians?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AutinDroid:
It's just to comply with GPL. They are required by the Linux kernel's license, so they must release the source code.

LG deleted the H830 Oreo's Kernel sources

http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H830
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
They did that previously for the VS995 (V20) as well. I wonder why...

I already got the H830 Source though, and I've started my stock Oreo kernel based on it.

Edit: Maybe it's because the naming was wrong. I remember they called it 20A, which would be wrong, it's 30A of course (10A MM, 20A N, 30A Oreo).

But then it should be up again quite quick I imagine. The VS995 though is still down after like 3 months.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] autoprime:
theyve renamed the korean g5 source incorrectly as well and last I checked that was still up... but yes, I assume the h830 oreo 20a source was pulled due to the typo.

I plan on having the H830 KDZ, zips and images available in my codefire directory as soon as they become available.

will be interesting to see if they +1 ARB version... or make downgrading from oreo a pain (without root).

Oreo Update released

August 14, H830 Kernal source was posted on LG open source website

September 21, Oreo Update released for lg g5 h830 on T-mobile

https://www.mylgphones.com/t-mobile-lg-g5-h830-now-getting-android-oreo-update.html

The time between the release of the kernel source and actual update is about 40 days.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] askermk2000:
I don't think there is any correlation there at all.

They'd rather not even bother with releasing the code if they didn't have to, and usually they don't. Maybe once in a while, randomly they release, but seems they usually release the first at every android upgrade.

For instance; they released Oreo kernel source for many V20 back in jan-feb, and it took them 7-8 months to release Oreo for V20 from that point. That's a bit longer than 40 days...

update is still anti-rollback v01 so downgrading is still possible to get to 20A if someone still needs root after losing twrp or something. UPPERCUT works when downgrading from 30c -> 20a. complete zip is over 2GB so those with encrypted data may need to use an external micro sdcard to flash it. those who can access /data in twrp should have no problems flashing it from /sdcard

Retired RF Engineer and Android Noob here. Purchased a Doogee S55 from Hong Kong to play with and start learning.

Thanks.

Tracfone SIM Kit

Today I purchased a Tracfone SIM kit at Walmart. It has SIMs for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile compatible phones. Installed the Verizon version. Then went to TFBYOP.com (Tracfone Bring Your Own Phone) to activate. Entered the IMEI and it says "Device is not eligible for the service". I'll try the AT&T and T-Mobile SIMS next, will let you know if either work.

Hi everyone, there are a lot of guides on this forum to solve a brick HU. But I can figure out what is really my problem.

I have a PK5 Rev4 and I suppose is a KLD unit from Eonon. No power on, just a blink on buttons and any more. No SDboot reaction, no SOM OTG reaction, and no voltage over SOM pins from MCU.

I try several guides, but cant figure out if my HU has a MCU bricked or a SOM bricked or another problem...

Is there some way to determine which is my problem before apply a flash method??

Thanks in advance
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Your post doesn't mention if you've used a schematic and first checked the unit power supplies. If the MCU has always on 3.3v and sends a power on signal to the SOM +5 supply, then MCU is probably OK.

You could also try removing SOM and manually triggering SOM+5 to check via a resistor.

If stuck with any of this advice, suggest talking with a local expert to walk you through.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] polgoz:
Well, I didnt check unit power supply on MCU because I cant found my MCU model with presicion. Now Im on the way to try to flash MCU with this method https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/mtcd-android-head-units-general/guide-how-to-unlock-bricked-mcu-units-t3748646

Is a possibility that MCU are bricked and dont supply any voltage to SOM? Thats my point. I get today a ST-LINK/V2 programmer to try flash it.

Suddenly I didnt have success with your method of flashing SOM OTG outside of MCU, but I can confirm that SOM dont get any voltage from MCU when 12v is apply. I saw schematics from your signature here, and cant realise what to test..

Look for an expert is a must I think, but before that I would try my last with flashing MCU.

Thanks [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]
[MTCD Android Head Units General] polgoz:
Ok, what that means?? I cant make mcu flash with my st link cose I use winxp and drivers and app doesn’t work, so I put my hand to meassure voltages and something change. Can somebody explain that state??

If I put SOM in place, display go off, VCC pin 1 of som get 1.4volts and a tinny sound like frying come up. If I put SOM like picture, frying stops, I get 5volts on pin 1 of SOM and display become active.

My HU has recovered the ability to turn on and off, as well as flash 3 times with a long press of the power button. but thats all..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] marchnz:
Might be defective SOM, dragging +5v supply down or a defective +5v supply. From your description, sounds like the MCU is OK.

You could try connecting the SOM to a bench supply with current limiting/ammeter to validate but more likely that the SOM is defective.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] polgoz:
Thanks [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]. MID SOLVED!

Still trying and discover that if I put a heavy pressure over the MCU on SOM pins zone (zone not identified) HU power up without problem.

Fraying sound was reduced but not eliminated.

Isn't a software or brick problem. Is a internal contact in the MCU, cose I check contacts and nothing look on bad solder.. so my last chance is to try install a prothesis to pull down the zone and still in place.

Any idea?

Hi mate, I solve the black screen problem doing the SOM flashing with the Marchnz method from the link that you point. But before try to flash som, repeat the sd method with the first sd step, maybe this help.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] loki993:
Ok ever since Ive seen this phone I've been smitten with it., but the price has scared me off a bit...it does seem to have some down to a relatively reasonable price and its got me thinking again. The Camera is what intrigues me the most, as with most people I would assume.

Here is what gives me pause though...from a lot of accounts it doesn't do very well taking pictures of people and just about every real review Ive sen says the camera oversharpens a lot, in any situation. My dilemma is I take a lot of pictures of my kids, as a lot of people do, so crappy pictures of people is sort of a dealbreaker for a phone. The low light performance seems amazing and teh 3x zoom I could definitely get some use out of, but the beauty mode and sharpening is stopping me from buying this phone.

Are there any ROMs that can be flashed that addressed this? Is this something someone could find in the software of the phone and disable? VIA a rom again obviously because it cannot be disabled in stock form it appears.

I find with people oh and dogs it can be a a little slow I am thinking of jumping ship to the note 9 as that camera is lightening fast plus you can add a memory card

Slow to focus or slow shutter speed? Anyway I don't find it slow by any means, one of the fastest to both focus and fire of a shot to be honest
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] rajeshr:
I've found the rear cameras work really well - it is fast to focus, the night mode and B&W are really good. Turn off the AI as I think it's not very good. For just a point and shoot, I think the Pixel 2 will give you better results. If you are willing to put in a bit of work into your shots, I think the P20 Pro will give you excellent results. Now, if you are talking about the front camera, it is not very good (IMO). So, if you use the front camera quite a bit, I might suggest other options for you.

From what I hear, the video is not very good either (I don't shoot video, so I cannot comment first hand). I've read that the rear camera processing software was done by Leica and the front camera and video was done by Huawei - that may explain the difference in quality between those.

Overall, I find the hardware excellent but am not so fond of EMUI (esp. the memory management, notifications and AOD).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] krs360:
I take loads of photos of my kids, who never stop moving. Ever. Most of the time it takes amazing shots, but sometimes they're a bit blurry.

The over softening of faces has been reduced on recent updates, and if you're in portrait mode you can dial it down with a slider (it's called beauty level).

You'll struggle with ROMs now though - Huawei have stopped giving bootloader unlock codes. This means you won't be able to flash anything, and even if you could it has completely stifled development. Personally I wouldn't buy it now because of this (you also won't be able to root). But the photos really are incredible so if you can put up with stock software and no root then get it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] loki993:
Yeah honestly I don't use a front camera a lot and even when I do the quality doesn't really matter all that much.

I do do a lot of point and shoot, the quick snap of a kid doing something . But I do like having the extra functionality if I really wanted to take the time to get a really good shot. That's just not always practical.

yeah, it seems that people were trying to get Huawei to allow people to unlock again. Eh may it would be better to just wait until that happens.

Ok so a few things.

The device as a non rooted device is as good as they come.

Design

Battery

Camera

Performance

Storage

System

Can't fault any of it.

My wife has the phone as stock and she loves it.

I have the phone with the bootloader unlocked, debranded and rooted and I love it.

I can do a lot more than my wife can with it due to the flexibility of being able to remove bloat and install things like lineage and mods like swap torpedo for speed.

Personally if I was unable to unlock the bootloader, there is no way I would contemplate buying this phone, not for its price or for it's hindered lack of unlocking options.

My advice, you cannot unlock the bootloader any more.

Pixel 2 XL It's just dropped by £100

OnePlus 6T when it arrives

Pixel 3 when it arrives.

Not this phone, unless you are going to never hope to root it.
