Have you tried volume up and volume down while you press the power button? Release only the power button when you feel a vibration. I got mine stuck with a black screen while I was tinkering. I know it's a different situation, but it's worth a shot. If it works, you'll end up in bootloader mode. Just use the volume keys to select reboot, and tap the power button to select it.

Hi folks,

New here. Just wondering what Android browsers can store history for 12 months?

I need to find an official page that says the browser can store history for 12 months for my boss.

Would prefer if it has the option to do this/set this without other apps - History Trends Unlimited for example.

Cheers

I find that the voice alerts are read out too slowly during a run.

It would be cool to be able to speed them up, e.g. 1.5x or 2x. But I don't see this option in the settings.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnhatduy2010:
Hi everyone,

First sorry for my English, I'm Vietnamese. I bought fire hd 8 6th used for a cheap price, I want to flash new rom via sideload becase i didn't find any topic about flashtool for fire hd tablet, so i decided to sideload it but unfortunately sideload processing to 47% and fail all of time, so i did some research and know that method only working on non modification devices, and my tablet already unlocked bootloader.. maybe, i knew it by using fastboot getvar unlocked and it say Yes. I thought with unblocked bootloader might be able to flash custom recovery to install a new rom, i tried and the results is writing recovery done but when device boot to recovery mode by holding power + volume down button nothing appear still remain blackscreen with recovery mode text from bottom left and with the bonus thing is Stock recovery is gone. Just for my stupid action, its bricked with only fastboot mode is accessible

I'm sorry for taking to long. Please let me know if you have any advice and stock recovery please share me

Thank you so much!

Hi sorry for late reply

this is the output of getvar all

Thank you
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:
What?

You can create the recovery from the boot-image using the install-recovery.sh script.

If you have unmodified boot and system it should happen automatically on boot.

Otherwise you can modify the script to read boot.img from a file.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnhatduy2010:
Hi that mean my device not unlocked yet?

I'm just google to find the firmware extractor tool, I manage to extract it and found recovery-from-boot.p file & install-recovery.sh inside /bin

I don't want to bother you but please I don't know what to do next to create recovery from sh file, the internet said that need using Linux OS but I don't know how to modify the script.

I will dualboot Ubuntu if necessary. Can you give me instruction?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnhatduy2010:
I don't know this is the used device maybe the old owner unlocked it, I'm not sure about it maybe my wrong,

did you noticed anything from my getvar output?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:
OK, make sure the firmware you have extracted is the same version you have installed.

Then copy the boot.img from the firmware to /sdcard

adb push boot.img /sdcard/

Then go into adb shell and run the following command

applypatch -b /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat /sdcard/boot.img /sdcard/recovery.img a1aff37711937c43c8bd4396803fb254a35db53a 9218048 05901192d8e64b20a9eabbddbf8b92b1ec0ca492:/system/recovery-from-boot.p

It should create /sdcard/recovery.img

You can pull it

adb pull /sdcard/recovey.img

If it isn't the same version you have installed (or the files have been modified to prevent recovery from being overwritten), you will have to extract the files

/system/etc/recovery-resource.dat
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

and place them on the device as well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnhatduy2010:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4y0z:
Yes it's likely your recovery is broken.

You will have to flash the recovery produced by the scripts.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
After being on these boards for a month, I realize that there is a lot of good information here. However, it isn't always in the easiest places to find quickly and it isn't that intuitive either. I keep seeing a bunch of newbie threads started here and I admit that I started one as well. I'm creating this post to put the first round of information out there and hopefully this will be valuable enough to get stickied.

G.W.E.N.I. - XDA's version of the FAQ. This is really valuable once you start sorting through it.

FAQ - Another source of information in a FAQ type of format.

TyTN II/AT&T Tilt on HTCwiki.com - This is a good source of basic information about the features of the Kaiser and the Tilt.

ROM flashing - This is the question that most newbies ask first so I thought I would post a link directly to the source of the info.

Search options - Options for searching XDA for information that you are looking for.

Recommended software - I'm going to start a thread soon about some recommended software to start with similar to this post but I want to gather more information before I post it.

Hopefully this will be useful to the community and it will get stickied.

The GWENI is a great place for info, but it isn't intuitive for newbies to look there first. Also, that is in the ROM development forum and not the Kaiser general forum. I know that when I was looking here first, I went straight to the Kaiser general forum first and was scared to venture into the ROM forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
I agree that an additional thread like this is really not needed (although we appreciate the thought of it). GWENI has all the information.

However I do agree that

GWENI needs to be linked from the general forum

as it is where most noobs will go first.

And to the OP....if you want to contribute with a comprehensive thread, stick to your idea of creating a thread that has a list of all software available for the kaiser: categorized, with descriptions, and links to other relevant info (software download, website, other posts with troubleshooting issue). I could see the usefulness of a compendium like that and there have been some attempts but nothing very encyclopedic.

I would create it in the software forum however, we need to drive more traffic to that section anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Well If I remember Gweni's post, it was a chronical of a young girl that against all odds and stereotypes, managed to learn and flash roms on her phone. Inspiration to all. Considering I read a lot of threads, I might be wrong. (plus this headache is slowing my brain down) I do agree with Tigra, the Gweni post needs to be here too.

The kind of noobs that post the "I just got a new Kaiser tell me what cool thing to do to it" type of posts will not be helped by anything other than A DO THESE COOL THINGS TO YOUR PHONE FIRST AND HERE IS STEP BY STEP sticky.

They are like children on Christmas morning.They will not read, they will not search. They have the patience of a 5 year old. They want it now. We were all noobs once, some of us hung out read and listened and then joined and some of our most prolific posters , if you go back and review started out as serial threaders.

I think the best we can do to calm down the brewing conflict between seniors and noobs is to contain them in their own section. Those who choose to help can regularly review the section and help. Others can avoid it altogether. Get ready noobs to flame those irritating seniors who invade your forum with snide newbie remarks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Heh...yes I agree with most of that.

There needs to be an area for the Noob to feel safe, be helped by other noobs, semi-noobs, and more experienced members who want to spend their time in there.

I would love for some trolling seniors to get spammed back at when flaming an noobz ignorant post.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ehollins:
OK, instead of talking about getting it done, how do we get it done?

With a long weekend coming up in the US, I may have time to start something like that. I'll create a wiki though because I don't want to be the sole person responsible for maintaining it. I'm pretty good at taking a cluster**** of info and turning it into something useful, usable, and intuitive. I do it a lot at my job. I'll get this started and hopefully something worthy. And I will post it in the software forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
We garner support for the idea and then maybe a moderator will see it, think it is a good idea and talk to the admin (or create it themselves). Or a senior member who has a good relationship with a site admin...

Unfortunately I'm just an idea man :) I have no pull around here...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I see this working for awhile, but eventually they won't get any help and they will start double posting in other forums.

Honestly what are you expecting? For them to post things for each other to read such as guides? IMO it will be a forum full of the exact same questions over and over. The people just don't read, they come in, post and wait for an answer.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Possibly, but I think it is worth a try.

And I think it will appease those that are outraged at all the noob posts. If you don't like noobs, don't go in their forum. There will be enough knowledgeable people to help. I know that personally I tend to look in the general forums for questions with 0 replies and try to help if I can.

Even to answer a noob question with:

"You might be looking for this tweak...and you can read more about them in this guide...here"

goes a long way to educating a user and teaching them how to use the site properly.

EDIT:

I also want to point out that this will benefit more than just noobz. I find that the ROM development forum get's cluttered with legitimate posts from knowledgable users because they don't want to post in general. Posts in general often get ignored by many members because of the cluttered noob posts. By moving those posts to a new section, maybe we can claim general back and move things that don't rightly belong in ROM Development.

If you're on a newer version of hydrogen, you need to unlock bootloader to go to a lower version. Dont forget. But might be better to wait for the next update of OSS and then flash internally. To be safe. Im rather new with oneplus too :p
