[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartyman:
Hello Developers!

I got a problem and I hope some of you can help me (if not you then i don't know who). I have Fire TV stick 2 gen for about 2 years and recently my remote stopped working. I installed amazon TV app on my cellphone to get back control of the stick. Then I tried everything I was able to find on the Internet (new batteries, hold home button for 5-10-20 sec, find new BT device from the settings menu, etc.) to bring back to life original remote but there was no luck. So I decided to reset the stick back to factory settings (bad idea). As you can guess now I have the stick that is asking me to pair my (probably dead) remote with it (!).

I don't have friends with amazon TVs and I don't want to pay $20 for the new remote ( when the new stick with remote is like $30 :eek:) I'm ok to use the app.

So I have three questions for you guys:

1) Is there any way to skip the first step (initiation of remote)? Maybe I can find some kind of firmware that I can change a little bit

(put my wifi settings and tell to skip 1st step) and flash it into my stick? IDK...

2) As I understand the original remote works on BT not on WIFI so Is there any app that uses BT and can be recognized as an amazon tv remote on that 1st step. Two apps I've tried (amazon tv app and CetusPlay) use WIFI.

3) Is there any way to check if my remote still live or completely dead? (Again I have no friends with amazon TVs)

Thanks for any input!

No ideas guys? Any?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br!cked:
I think you actually need a remote for first time boot :/ I don't think there is any app out there that emulates the remote, I could be wrong but have you tried this?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbird635:
I have exactly the same issue. I don't know if my remote is working or not.

I managed to connect a usb keyboard and stupidly reset the thing to defaults - disabling developer mode in the process.

Now I have a firestick that keeps asking me to "pair the remote..."

Is there any way to enable adb ?

in this thread.. ( https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/unlock-fire-tv-stick-2nd-gen-tank-t3907002 ) I remember reading about shorting a pin inside the unit to ground, would this allow adb access?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
I want to say I'm fairly certain I was able to skip the pairing with a USB keyboard. Although I don't remember what key I pressed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JUSTINMARMER:
My remote stopped too. I stretched out the springs and reinstalled the batteries. Works great now.

I reset my device using TWRP, and cannot get pass the "pair remote" screen! Help!? Would buying a otg cable and using a usb keyboard help? or is that a waste of money?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michajin:
buying a OTG is very useful, almost any keyboard/mouse will work. makes TWRP easier also. holding down the home button for about 10 seconds has worked for me when trying to pair the remote. I dont know if you can do anything to get by it with CEC using the TV remote.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambulli:
Hi

Habe ein S6 Edge (SM-G925F ) bekommen, bei dem aber die IMEI gelöscht wurde( nicht genullt. das Feld war komplett leer.

Hatte gehofft das es reichen würde, wenn ich ein Stock Rom flashe, und dann unter Root, die IMEI wieder herzustellen.. Habe dann Odin3_v3.13.1, benutzt, um diese FW ( G925FXXU5EQB9_G925FCOS5EQB3_COS ) zu flashen. In dem Feld von AP habe ich dann die FW ausgewählt, Haken gesetzt, und Start gedrückt (S6 treiber waren installiert, und das S6 wurde auch in den Download Mode versetzt, von Odin erkannt).Das Flashen lief auch an, und nach kurzer Zeit, bekam ich eine FAIL Meldung von Odin.

Jetzt bekomme ich nur noch eine Fehler Meldung beim Neustart des S6.

in dem Download Modus komme ich aber trotzdem noch rein.

Könnte mir bitte jemand helfen, das S6 wieder zum laufen zu bringen?

Ich bedanke mich schon mal in Voraus, bei den Leuten die mir bei der Action helfen möchten !
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
I'm seeing more and more about the RCS messaging (currently through Android Messages).

Right now it seems to only be available to Pixel owners.

I know that there are mods and magisk mods (google framework) that allow us to use other Google apps on the V20.

Anyone know of a way to use RCS messaging on the V20?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
From what I've read RCS needs to be supported by your carrier. Model doesn't matter. You download Google messages and if it detects that your carrier has it implemented it then it will automatically show up in the settings for messages
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
Sounds great! Can't wait 'til Verizon adopts it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
Any more news on the potential of RCS on our V20s?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
Thank you so much. Got it working.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] PhoneBill:
Would love to try this but the activity launcher all activoties crashes every time. Any suggestions?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Medevac1:
So what does this bring to the table that makes it so sought after.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
Several things...and I'll probably miss some, so feel free to google search RCS.

Two major ones are:

1. It's more secure than SMS.

2. You can include more characters, attachments, etc., than SMS.

A minor reason is:

1. You see if the other person is still typing.

A personal reason is:

I have true unlimited data through an old grandfathered Verizon plan but limited SMS, so this allows me to use less SMS since RCS counts only toward Data.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
So I enabled mine and got it working on my H918 on T-Mobile. However I'm unable to send any file that's bigger than 10MB (which was the stock max limit on T-Mobiles advanced messaging using the stock LG app. Anyone else have this issue? Everything else works (read receipts, typing indicator, and pictures I send under 10MB that send properly will show being sent through rich communication service).

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[UPDATE]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

So apparently the only videos that won't send are ones that I've recorded with Hi-Fi audio enabled in the stock LG camera. Can any one else try this one verify. Not sure why that would matter unless it's more than just size restriction for the limit.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] baldybill:
The work around to have it working on my phone stopped working...

Does anyone have RCS messaging through Android Messages working on their V20?

If so, how?

Thanks!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] princedede:
On rr7, los 17.1 and los 18 it's working. But make sure your service provider supports it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
First of all the guide i took it from [MENTION=4395193]Vedrick[/MENTION] by searching here in XDA. I just opened this post because i found his guide with a little bit hardness and its easier now for ya.

Well lets start. FIRST Back up all your data.

I was on the latest version of CLT-L29 Huawei p20 pro 6/128 9.0.0.195(C432E5R1P9) if you try it on another version let me know

As always, if you do this it's at your own risk.

PREREQUIREMENTS

:

Watch my video on youtube that made to help you guys

1) ADB, Fastboot and Drivers

2)Patched boot image

3) A pc of course.

4) Make sure your phone is not bootloop and working

5)Enable Debugging and OEM unlocking from dev options

This is how i got root on EMUI 9 without TWRP recovery

1 - I Flashed Get your phone on fastboot mode FIRST MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE HAS UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (download it, and move it on your adb folder-default is on C: drive) (press SHIFT button and right click on the adb folder->select open here PowerShell) type the command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img

2-Reboot phone, install Magisk manager last apk from google , go into settings, and change the update channel to custom: )COPY AND PASTE THIS LINKhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/master/canary_builds/release.json, go back to the Magisk home screen and hit install, download the odd Magisk file.zip file.

3-Reboot phone, press and hold the volume up key if it goes to ERecovery then reboot again and keep pressing like the video.

4-Open Magisk app, install the zip, then patch, and install the downloaded Magisk.zip file if it says direct install(recommender choose this should say this)

5-Reboot phone, press and hold the volume up key and your phone should boot just fine.(like i said above and like i show the video)

6-Open Magisk, install, select direct install option. and reboot.

Note:

1 - Now your phone will reboot into the recovery every time on its own, which is a good thing, you no longer need to hold the volume up key every time you reboot, it does it for you. This means no TWRP.

2 - In order to apps root access for the first time you need to have Magisk open, or you wont get prompted for approval. Then the app will have permanent root access.

3- You can enter fastboot mode from connecting your phone to pc and open adb as i say above and type adb reboot bootloader OR by turn off your phone, press the down button volume and after 3 secs connect the cable on your pc DONT LEAVE THE DOWN BUTTON

Usefull Commands: If you cannot enter bootloader mode (

IS NEEDED

) type this command on the adb , but first connect your phone with your PC/LAPTOP adb reboot bootloader

IF you have any questions fell free to comment bellow. Also i am gonna try some things to flash twrp and have it for ever because [MENTION=4395193]Vedrick[/MENTION] i think couldnt flash twrp recovery
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deltaman83:
Hi,

thanks a lot taking time for this guide but there are 2 things that I think are confusing :

FIRST - Once you have flashed recovery_ramdisk partition with the patched_boot.img file through fastboot , and you reboot holding up volume button, the phone boots. But after installing latest magisk manager, even without changing the update channel adress, phone is already rooted and you can add modules, etc...

SECOND - when following the guide step by step, part 4 is a problem because it finds new version and asks tout update. And when you do, the guide says install then to patch the tout install the downloaded file.

That part ils not clear as you do not tell what file to patch at this state....

If you could clear that part it would be perfect.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
i am gonna check it now because my phone was bricked and i cant root now
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
ok i did manage to root it again. you need to unlock your bl and press the volume up button. i edited the post
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deltaman83:
I did first time as just flashing fastboot recovery_ramdisk with patched_boot.img was enough when opening magisk manager.

Updating was the issue. SO i downloaded the original recovery_ramdisk 195 , and used that file to patch with the latest version downloaded. Then I flashed in fastboot the new patched_boot.img and all was good to latest version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
why to download another patch i dont get it.

plus see my signature :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deltaman83:
Because with yours i was not on latest magisk. Now i can update each time there's a new version by patching the original recovery_ramdisk and flashing the patched_boot.img on fastboot.

I'm curently on 18.2-e05cdc83 (18104)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
i have the same version as you. the problem is 1) you cant have twrp recovery 2) when you open a app that needs root you have to open magisk app first otherwise the permissions will fail
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deltaman83:
unfortunately no twrp recovery ...

You're right I noticed that
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:

Every time I flash the patched_boot.img and restart with volume up into recovery I have a bootloop. I have CLT-L09 pie 9.0.0.1.9.5 with the custom link for magisk. The only way to get out of the loop is to reflash the stock recovery_ramdis.img. But after flashing stock recovery, magisk has no root any more...

Any suggestions why I only get the bootloop after reflashing the patched_boot.img?

Thanks a lot!

I'm on 9.0.0.206 and it doesn't work for me. After flashing the patched_boot.img and rebooting with vol+ button the phone always goes to the erecovery. I watched the video as well, but no success.

It works if I boot to recovery using adb command. Thanks

When i flashed the patched boot file, it doesnt show the options of going into eRecovery anymore. Is there a way to fix this or is my device kinda bricked?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
no problem
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
download latest adb drivers from first post,

make sure you have connected properly your phone on your pc

try rebooting your pc and your phone after install those drivers

make sure you have enabled usb degguing from dev option AND OEM unlock
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
watch the video dude, its on the first post. um you doing something wrong with the up volume and power button
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
dont use powershell, use classic cmd instead

my win10 also act up with powershell wont detect my device in fastboot mode
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robertiiino:
i'm stucked in point 3, I cant do "flash" with volume+, always enter eRecovery

update:

The best way to do this is pressing the vol+ since reboot and keep pressing until "Huawei" boots
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] belloni:
Do you have a different link to the files needed please? I don't like the website used.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
you need to hold the vol up even before the screen is turning on,

normally you need to do it as soon as you hit the enter button to reboot from fastboot.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

magisk can be downloaded from xda

and firmware from firmware finder

i dont like that kind of link as well. OP should stay with AFH, github, or simply gDrive

as long as you got your bootloader unlocked, you can try to patch your recovery ramdisk and flash it,

theoritically it should work
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] StonebridgeGr:
Be carefull, today i got updated magisk manager and zip throught the app after first boot i got error on erecovery that i need to format the system

because something went wrong, but i did a reboot on the phone and everything was fine !

you can try. I think yes

BUT backup all your data
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] belloni:
Can you help me please, struggling to do this. Trying to follow the below but when I tried to patch I got "magisk_patched" is that right?

Extract recovery_ramdisk from update.app and place somewhere on SD card.

Install Magisk 18 manager.

Manually change the update canal to : https://bit.ly/2MPKGY5

Press instal magisk l. Use the patch boot IMG option.

Direct to your recovery_ramdisk.

When the patch is done copy the patched_boot.img to a folder on your computer.

Reboot to bootloader

When in bootloader: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk patched_boot.img

Fastboot reboot

When boot press vol up. Bootlogo will appear and you'll have a rooted emui 9!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
naming doesn't really matter, as long as u use correct ramdisk image when patching. i even rename mine to just recovery.img for easier flashing, i dont like to type too much in CMD, lol

I'm now on latest beta 19.1...... and before on 19.0 and it does work perfectly. Since latest beta the file will be magisk_patched.img and no more patched_boot.img

So :

Symply Install latest magisk manager.

Use Huawei extractor, select update.app from the zip file you downloaded with firmware finder.

Extract recovery_ramdisk and place it to your device.

Open magisk manager, chose beta from settings update. Then go to choose install and select patch image. Choose the recovery_ramdisk file you placed

Let the process end. Then copy the new file in your download folder to your computer, boot into fastboot mode, and type : fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched.img

Then type reboot and IMMEDIATELY unplug the phone + keep pressed volume up after HAWEI logo disappears. Once new screen is on, you you can leave the volume up and you will be on root mode.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sarichter:
This method still works... I wrote up a guide that is a little more specific that might help.

You don't need a new modified RAMDISK. Use an old one and then you can extract and modify your own with Magisk!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducati87:
does it compatible with P20 (no PRO)? Thank you.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Honestly, why upload files to sites so full of crap?

Wouldn't dropbox or mega have done the same job?

Appreciate the guide but jesus the ads are disgusting.

Also after installing the patched boot img you don't need to do anything else.

Just install magisk then allow it to make the modifications needed.

Disable PIN / Password prior to doing this.

That's it.
