[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Hi guys,

might be someone can share good knowledge and experience for my very specific issue...

I'm a big fan of Fire HD tablets, currently we do have 4 of 'em in house, one HD 10 and three HD 8 (2016 & 2018). Three tables successfully rooted, debloatwared, tweaked and 100% allset for my family (and my) needs. But one of the Fire HD 8 has a trouble. This is a tablet of my 4 yo little princess; people with kids already know how small kids usually unplug USB connector - I don't need to explain ;) So, the USB connector become unusable and non-working right before root for Fire HD 8 was achieved (or I found this hack on xda :D ), doesn't really matter. But I don't like to waste good and sophisticated items, even they costs me just a $40-50 - I'm not greedy but respect human mind and technology heights. So, I asked my friend, very experienced electronics engineer, to fix the tablet (already bought a new USB connector for HD8 on eBay). My friend fixed the tablet (it's not an easy: you need a good soldering station, zoom and experience - assembly is too small). but... He is an Apple guy; he fixed USB power but forgot to check (and solder) data connection :( He did this work for me for free, and I can't ask him again to redo the work.

So, this tablet has a perfect power but no USB data connection (i.e. it's invisible for desktop adb). My question is: is it possible to root Fire HD 8 without USB cable? Technically (as far as I understand), I should find a way to set "execute" attribute to mtk-su program. I googled a lot, and it looks impossible but... Might be, someone knows "the hack"? Theoretically, if desktop adb can set this attribute, why some android app can not do the same?

Please, if you don't know and don't have enough experience, do not reply - I know how to use google, search at xda-dev & stack overflow.

P.S. To prevents this "USB issue" in the future, I've bought that stuff on aliexpress. It's not an advertising and I'm not related to the seller (there are bunch of similar items on ali!). But this magnetic cable is must have feature for any micro-USB device, and my children simple loves these cables and connectors (it's also funny)!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontysEvilTwin:
You can obtain a root shell using mtk-su with a terminal emulator e.g. Terminal Emulator or Termux. Instructions are here. If it is a 6th or 7th gen. you can then install SuperSU: see here. If it is an 8th gen. the method is here.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

To add, if it is an 8th gen. unit the data connection is needed to install the bootrom exploit and unlock the bootloader, so it won't work.

There is a root method for Fire OS6 that was developed for the Fire 7, 9th gen. before the bootloader unlock was available: see here. This will most likely work on the Fire HD8, 8th gen. too and does not require ADB.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Thanks for good tip! But I have an issue with Termux: 64-bit mtk-su can't execute 'cause of error "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE DEPENDENCIES: "libz.so" is 32-bit instead of 64-bit. 32-bit mtk-su is running fine and telling me what I'm root, but ./mtk-su -c mount -o remount -rw /system didn't remount, actually, Fire HD8 /system to read/write mode. It looks like 32-bit mtk-su made me root... just for Termux (or I don't know).

I haven't tried "Terminal Emulator" 'cause I don't know where to copy "rooting" files (mtk-su and the rest).

UPDATE: Tried with "Terminal Emulator" (copied files to internal storage to /data/data/<emu_package_name>) and everything works like a charm! Installed "WiFi ADB" from store, and I'm allset ;)
[General Questions and Answers] miamicuse:
I have a HTC 10 (new old stock) that I have been using for 2 months, on stock Oreo.

Everything was fine until last week when suddenly in the middle of reading an email the screen froze, a few seconds later the screen went black and would not boot up. Nothing at all, not even with a hard reset VOL DOWN + POWER or VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER. Tried holding it for A LONG TIME like 5 minutes, no luck. The phone had a hard brick and that's it.

Occasionally, after a few hours, I would try to reset it just for the hack of it. Or connect it to a charger (no charging light) Eventually after about 20 hours, it booted up again after I held all three buttons for a few seconds. Then it worked like nothing has happened.

It kept running for several hours, I charged it up to 100%, ran down to about 80%, then the screen froze again and died. Same thing happened, won't boot up at all. But if I wait another day or so, kept trying, it will boot up again.

I know the HTC 10 is known for it's horrible battery drain issue, and I have experienced that myself with another HTC 10, this is not it. The battery is running fine on this one. This is something else.

After doing this for a few iterations, I was able to figure out a pattern.

When the screen froze and the phone dies, it will not boot up no matter what you do. But for some reason something is still going on as the battery is still being consumed, a day or so later, when the battery is completed depleted down to 0%, and as soon as it hits 0%, whatever causes it to not boot unlocks and allow it to boot again, as long as you have it on the charger, the charging light will come up at that time, and as soon as it gets a little bit of juice, it will boot up again normally. Except when it does boot up, the date is reset to December 31, 1969 7PM.

After testing this for two more iterations, I am reasonably sure this is what's going on. Then I did a factory reset.

Once it's factory reset, I did nothing except turned on WIFI and didn't do any further setup except surf the internet a bit on WIFI, and about 10 hours later, it died again. Now I know, if I leave it alone for 20 hours, then plug it in for a few minutes, it will boot up again.

So here are my questions.

(1) The phone appears to have bricked during the 20 hours that is was totally non-responsive. What is happening that's consuming the battery?

(2) Does this seem like a hardware issue or software issue?

Hi all,

Some people already know me because of TrackMe,

a free GPS track application that I wrote sometime ago.

I'm creating a new thread because I just finished writing a game that I wanted to share it with you guys.

Distant Galaxies is a classic space shooter. This game tries to follow the same philosophy of old classic games, but adding more enemies, final bosses, extra weapons and the ability to upload your score and share it with the rest of users in the World Ranking. I tried to keep this game far from other space shooters for PDAs where you can only see bullets, 3D effects and all kind of stuff in the screen that makes playability very complicated. This game is easy and fun to play and that's why I think this game is closer to those old classics.

And yes, the game is free!

DOWNLOAD

Xbox

Windows Phone 7

Pocket PC CAB file

Pocket PC Installation program

Smartphones CAB file

Smartphones Installation program

PC Installation program

As I said with TrackMe, if people are interested and play the game, I will be adding more levels and other stuff, otherwise I will stop updating the program soon.

Have fun!

For more info, you can visit my website

A note for Kaiser users. For some reason the game is not a smooth as it should for this PDA. Maybe it's because of the lack of video drivers. On my old

Cingular 8125 the game runs great.

[General Topics] _LEM_:
hey, thanks for trying it. :)

That's one of my concerns about the game. Not sure if it is too difficult. I will change the difficulty if people think it's too high.
[General Topics] turtle2472:
Actually, I think it has more to do with me not being a gamer and not very good with controlling things with my thumb yet. It's been years since I had a game system. Does Sega Genesis ring a bell? :p
[General Topics] _LEM_:
he he... I understand. However, I tried to write an easy game that anybody could play. I don't know... I think that maybe it's a little bit too difficult. Let's see what other people say!

Thanks for your feedback.
[General Topics] kcrumbley:
That looks like an amazing game. I already benefit tremendously from Track Me, so I know that this will be great! Unfortunately, I own a Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) so I know that it can't handle it. :(

Maybe I'll get my wife to let me play it on her Moto Q Global! :p
[General Topics] turtle2472:
Why can't you use a Tilt? I'm using a Tilt to play it and it's just fine. Just get the Pocket PC version.
[General Topics] _LEM_:
It works on the Tilt, it's just the movement is not as smooth as it should.

I guess it's because of the video drivers problem.
[General Topics] kcrumbley:
I was just going off of the developer's comments regarding the Kaiser: "A note for Kaiser users. For some reason the game is not a smooth as it should for this PDA. Maybe it's because of the lack of video drivers."

I know that the Tilt has a reputation for not performing as well as other HTC phones in terms of using graphic-intensive programs. But since you are having success with it, I will give it a try. Thanks!!!

I Installed on my TILT and works fine for me.. made it to level 2 (3700 pts).. had to leave so had to stop.

Installed the PC version and couldn't get it to work.

Get ERROR:

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I run Win XP Pro. Haven't tried on any of my other pcs or laptops. Cause I need to leave.. Just letting you know... Nice app... btw
[General Topics] _LEM_:
Thanks for trying it. Unfortunately on the Tilt doesn't run too smooth because of the problem with Tilt's video drivers... it's hard to play on that PDA.

For the PC version, do you have DirectX installed on your PC?
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
I tried this too on my Fujitsu U810 running Windows XP, but I got the same ERROR even with Direct X installed.

...
[General Topics] _LEM_:
You guys are right. There are missing some files (DLL) that need to be copied.

I am going to research on that. As soon as I know something I will let you know.

Actually you don't need DirectX to run this game.

Thanks
[General Topics] _LEM_:
ok, I fixed the problem with the PC version!

Just uninstall the program, download it again and install it.

It should work now.

By the way, at this moment you cannot play in full screen for the PC version, only in windowed mode.

Have fun!
[General Topics] police22:
Wondering about PC Version

Worked fine on the tilt...

Yes have latest DirectX for my version of windows as I do play some of the latest games and some older ones and they work fine.. My vid drivers are up to date as my sound. So dunno :confused:

*EDIT* Just saw your latest post.. Gonna Do as it says... Will let you know.. Thanks
[General Topics] police22:
I uninstalled and redownloaded and installed. 3 Files in the folder (Galaxies.exe, hss.dll, readme.rtf.....

Double clicked on Galaxies.exe and get error :confused::

My OS is installed on K:/ due to SATA Configuration.

Thanks
[General Topics] _LEM_:
It's seems that you still have the old version, because you should have more files in the application folder.

Clear the cache from your browser and download it again.

If still doesn't work I can copy it to a different location.
[General Topics] cktlcmd:
Thanks very much. Works now.
[General Topics] police22:
Yes the old was still getting downloaded. Made a few changes and redownloaded and volia. It works.. Great Game

Suggestion though. :D Even with Track me. Is there any way you can rename your download files and make a archive, maybe? Say the old version of Galaxies_1.0 and the new Galaxies_1.2.cab etc...... So the downloads don't get confusing :confused: ...

It helps when people go to download something they know which version there downloading as far as the file name etc... I know you change it in the main post.. But Just a suggestion for the filename...

Do as you please. Will still love the programs...

Also if you need any webspace or ftp access. Ill donate or give access to..:D

Thanks again
[General Topics] _LEM_:
sorry man, but that's too complicated to do.

If I do that, everytime that I upload a new version I would have to update my web pages, the link that you have in TrackMe for downloading the program directly, and all the references that I have to my web page from other sites wouldn't work. On the other hand, I don't want to keep old versions.

If you want to know the version that you are running, just check at the bottom right for Distant Galaxies, or go to the About window in TrackMe.

Hope it makes sense.

I understand. Alot of links to change... I know all about that... :eek: :D

version 1.5 not working on Smartphone

I tried version 1.0, which worked fine on my i-mate SP5 (running Nitrogenius' WM6 ROM). Upgraded to version 1.5: When moving the joystick the colored menu bar moves up/down, but it is not possible to select any item of the start menu when pressing the joystick. Home or Back buttons do not respond either, no way to quit application or access the taskmanager, had to remove the battery and restart phone .... :(

[General Topics] _LEM_:
Thanks for the information.

I had to redefine the start button to something else, because there were many PDAs that didn't have that button. After that change that I did nobody else had a problem until now. I will try to make some changes to the program and put that button back and still make it work for people who don't have that button.

[General Topics] _LEM_:
Thanks for the review!

Regarding your "cons":

I will add it for the next version.

That's strange. You should be able to move through the menus using the stylus. I'll do some extra testing though

On my old HTC Wizard the games runs great. However on my HTC Kaiser doesn't run very smooth. I've got some other feedback from other players and nobody mentioned any problems on other PDAs.

Do you have that problem since the first level or later in other levels?

Yes, that's something I should add. Not sure if I'll end up doing it.

That I haven't tested it.

The only way of preventing that is by having different levels only for Smartphones. Since I don't really have time to do that I decided that all platforms should share the same levels. Yes, I agree it's a problem for Smartphones users!

Thanks for your feedback!
[General Topics] _LEM_:
I was adding the auto-fire option and I have noticed the game becomes too easy.

This game is not really like the other space shooters that you can find on PDAs nowdays where there are tons and tons of enemies in the screen at the same time.

That's why I also added in the Highscore section a column that tells you the effectivity. You don't really have to be shooting all the time, you need to aim and shoot when a enemy becomes visible.

Sorry about that but I think I will not add that feature. Thanks for your suggestion though.

Same here on LG GM750 - fit the screen, works if you don't actually want to play. Does not respond to any buttons or gravity sensor, touching screen doesn't do anything, so all I got is the play of my ship getting shot at and eventually killed, haha. Would be a great game otherwise.
[General Topics] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments guys...

Yes, I removed the PC link. It may sound silly but I thought about that when I released the Xbox version thinking that people wouldn't buy the game if they can play it for free on the PC (even if the maps are mostly different)

However I decided the leave the free version for WM 6.5. I don't know...maybe I will change my mind one day. I apologize about that.

Sorry about those problems on some PDAs. I know about that and probably are easy to fix. Basically I need to find out what keystrokes are sent when the buttons are pressed. Hopefully once I finish with the version for WP7 that I'm working on right now I can revisit it and fix those issues.

Happy that there are still people playing my game! Thanks!

Sorry about the rrod on your Xbox! Is it an old model? As far as I know this problem is gone if you bought your console in less than 2 years. Anyway, if you bought it new they usually have an extended warranty for fixing that issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] invisible999:
Hello,

I got SM-G930FD, updated to the latest 8.0/9.0. Baseband version is G930FXXS5ESF3.

I live in Singapore and want to use my US issued credit cards with Samsung Pay but it only allows to Singapore issued credit cards to be added.

Is there a verified and working way to fix the solution, considering that I don't have US SIM card and won't plan to be in US until May next year.

Quick search here and Samsung Forum says that the phone needs to be flashed with the firmware from US. But international S7 models use Exynos, while US S7 use Snapdragon.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

The Canadian S7's are Exynos ,Sam Pay will accept that on US credit card.

Thanks. Are there a success stories with this setup? There is a thread titled 'Need help to use US Samsung Pay in Canadian S7' (can't post links) and seems that this setup did not work for topic owner.

Separately, if deciding to flash firmware, I guess the right version should be XAC, correct? I have not flashed firmware on Samsung devices yet - at sammobile there is option of is one file or several files flashing. Any differences/preferences? Anything I should be aware of?

And most importantly - will S7 after (assuming successful) flashing be able to use Samsung Pay if I don't have US or canadian SIM cards?
