[MENTION=6960870]mywindow[/MENTION]

when did you flash the custom kernel, before or after the gapps? I'm gonna give it a shot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mywindow:
After gapps and the initial setup but, I don't think it matters since gapps don't check.

If you want to revert back to the original kernel then you can just "Dirty Flash" the ROM (

Flash without wiping anything

) although you will need to reinstall Magisk if used.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Just want to point out that when dirty flashing, you still should always wipe cache and dalvik cache.

A dirty flash is when the data partition is not wiped. The system partition is overwritten in a dirty flash.

Hi,

I used to have a button (looks like a globe) on the android auto keyboard which could be used to change the input language between English and Hebrew.

somehow it button disappeared and I can't find how to get it back.

Does anybody knows how to fix that?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomalo:
Hello

I have a Fire TV box 2nd gen (not stick).

Yesterday the hdmi signal suddenly showed white noise for 2-3 seconds. Then the menu again. (Then I think it froze, not sure...) I remeber I turned it off, took it from power and tried to boot again. But it did not.

It shows the white amazon logo for a moment, then "no signal" on any TV or HDMI I try.

The white LED is pulsing slowly.

I tried << and UP to change resolution, nothing.

Customer service thinks there is a HDMI-HDCP Problem(?) and white LED means it tries to boot.

Question:

Is there any way to re-set the whole thing, make a clear fresh installation via USB?

Or is this thing a brick now?

(I did many things, turned it off for hours, let it try to boot for 1 hour. Changed HDMI cables and HDMI slots and changed from TV to a beamer ..it just always does the same. I have no idea if the remote really reacts on << [UP] cause there is no light indicator)

What I did not do: Connect via USB to a computer (cant find a old standard USB cable at the moment)

Thanks

Bodo

Take a look into this thread... Maybe you find in this 'unbrick thread' an answer
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodomalo:
I guess that means no....

That thread is too long to read everything, the solution is first from 2016, and the last message 22 pages later from June 2019
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
I guess that nobody reads the thread for you ;)

From what I've read, a pulsing light and stuck at amazon logo/black screen is a brick, maybe a hardware failure.

You can place your question in detail in the suggested thread, maybe you get there an answer. Or sell the item on ebay ;)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnocera:
The exact same thing just happened to me this morning. Worked perfect last night.... then turn it on this morning and nothing... after power cycling just the white Amazon logo then goes black then slow pulsing light. Tried to reset via the remote with the back & forward and held until orange light then it just went back to doing the same thing.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannover2k:
I just ran into this issue myself. My 2nd Gen is running a rooted rom and has worked fine for a couple years but tonight we were watching some Hulu and the screen went blank in the middle of a show. I did a power cycle and it boots to the TWRP boot screen, then I get the white amazon logo. After which, the TV loses signal. The device seems to boot for a short while before getting the pulsing white LED.

I can still go into TWRP and access everything so I've performed a full reset which changed nothing. I also downloaded and installed an updated ROM July 4, 2020 - 5.2.7.3_r1 but it responds exactly the same after the update.

Fortunately I have a spare Fire TV 2 (thanks ebay) so I was able to swap things over pretty quick. This also confirmed the power adapter was not the issue as the replacement seems to be working fine with the same adapter. I also tested the original one with a 15.5v, 3.4amp adapter and no change. I feel like maybe the video processor may have burned up at this point.

Still open to any suggestions though.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Idk if it helps, but I would try a format data in wipe section of TWRP.

Could be that the eMMC died, i.e. at an unknown point, the storage switches to readonly, especially if the eMMC is a samsung chip.

Booting TWRP still works, in that case.

This happend to [MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION] fireTV2 development box, maybe ask him for details.

What kind of errors are in the recovery log?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannover2k:
I don't know how to get to the logs but happy to post if you can tell me.

On another note, I noticed the replacement device, while just recently connected and has also been rooted, tried to download the 5.2.7.4 update today. Typically my rooted devices never updated so this is a new discovery. I pulled the plug on it before it finished downloading but I'm worried I'll loose root if it updates. There's no pre-rooted ROM for 5.2.7.4 yet so I'm afraid to plug the power back in for fear it will update and unroot/brick like the 1st one.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Boot into TWRP, click mount and mount system, start the filemanager (in advanced tab), then go to /tmp, in there should be a recovery.log file, copy this file to your ext. sd or adb pull it to your PC.

Edit your serials in the file and upload it on mega, gdrive or so.

For the sloane (aka fireTV second gen box), the prerooted rom installer disables the stock recovery, so nothing should happen if you let the ota updater do its thing...

But its best to disable the ota process with that:

adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
pm disable com.amazon.tv.forcedotaupdater.v2
pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota
exit
exit

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] amonaldo:
,I have a Galaxy J5 (SM-J500F) which was running out of space (-500MB). To save some space, I rooted it, removed some bloatware apps and started to remove some apks from /system/priv-app using Root Explorer. Later I noticed that Play Store is not working anymore as it tells me to login to my Google account, but the button is not working.

[IMG="Play Store not working"]https://i.imgur.com/lyLpj4m.png[/IMG]

When I went to settings/Accounts, I realized that the Google button is greyed out as I can not add any Google account.

[IMG="Play Store not working"]https://i.imgur.com/fmz46oz.png[/IMG]

I believe this has to do with Google Play Services, because I remember accidently deleting it from /system/priv-app. I keep getting this notification :

[IMG="Google Play Services must be updated"]https://i.imgur.com/tIXHV06.png[/IMG]

Having no access to Play Store, I manually installed various APKS from external sources but none of them solved this issue.

I also installed apks for Google Account Manager and Google Services Frameworks but nothing happens.

It seems that I'm missing an apk but not really sure what it is.

Any help would be appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] amonaldo:
I have already installed various apks for Google Play Services, Google Account Manager and Google Services Frameworks but nothing happens.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
You could always just install a custom recovery. And then upgrade the phone to android pie with one of the custom ROMs available.

You will lose all your data but its faster than stock rom and you can use an sd card for internal storage and move apps to the sd card.

Also without play services and Google services framework you probably wont get notifications for apps or else delayed notifications

[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] bananabytes:
Hi, thank you for this build. I was waiting to try Pie on my z1 compact and I'm glad I did because the version of TWRP was blocking my use of encryption.

Sadly I didn't have luck installing the latest builds (the ones from 3 days ago and one week ago) on my Z1 Compact. I got this error:

fastboot: core/libsparse/sparse.cpp:131: int write_all_blocks(struct sparse_file *, struct output_file *): Assertion `pad >= 0' failed.

When trying to flash to recovery partition. The same command worked to flash back to 3.2.3 (not sure if necessary, done just in case). If there's any way you could look into these builds I'd appreciate it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
What command did you use?

fastboot flash recovery

or

fastboot flash FOTAKernel

Do you have the newest bootloader installed? So can you boot directly into recovery with VOL down and power pressed (with 3.2.3 version where flashing was successful)?

Or do you use the method with pressing VOL down when the LED lights up?

EDIT:

By looking at your error code I get the feeling it has something to do with fastboot directly. libsparse is a build dependency of the fastboot binary.

What version of fastboot are you using?

I'm using fastboot installed from the packetmanager with

apt install fastboot

.

fastboot --version

gives fastboot version 1:8.1.0+r23-5~18.04.

This would mean 27.0.0 or 27.0.1 according to this scheme. I don't know why they are using different naming schema :confused:

However, I'd guess you're using an outdated version (or a very current one - but I don't think so).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] bananabytes:
I used fastboot flash recovery, with the newest bootloader. This time I got into recovery by selecting it in my older TWRP because I always get the up/down method mixed up, I have done it before it's just easier that way.

I am actually indeed using a very current version, 29.0.2 (so your second less likely guess was correct!) I'm on Manjaro/Arch so we get the bleeding edge updates unlike if you are on a Debian/Ubuntu system that's tied to a lot of different libraries and held back. This is exactly why I stopped using those distros but this is the first time I've had the problem in reverse. I don't know if this is a bug that was introduced into fastboot or what. I do see that the more recent versions have things to do with partitioning. This may be a bug to open with fastboot or to look into further with them? But if it's not a bug with them it would be good to have the build working on the latest fastboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
Can you please verify that you also fail with the fastboot binary from here

It's also 29.0.2 and it works fine for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] Micha_Btz:
I have tried this version with LOS 16 and it worked well. Some things to improve:D

boot to fastboot is not possible

backup and restore of boot is not possible

good catch with encryption, I have give it up :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
Well, I actually didn't know this was possible in earlier versions. However it should work now ;) --> see the changelog

You have to connect usb cable before rebooting to bootloader, otherwise it won't work and just reboot the system.

I can't confirm that. What exactly was the problem for you? Backing up or restoring? Did you got any errors?

[MENTION=8036586]115ek[/MENTION],

I have a mysterious problem with 3.3.1-0.0.and 3.3.1-0.1:

I used all twrp versions before without problems and now your twrp did not show the correct date (1970-xx-xx) and time (7-8 hours back).

I tried the following several times:

1. reflash your twrp, clear recovery and flash again,

2. flash older versions: date and time was wrong even after reboot

The only way to get the correct date/time back in twrp was (at least for me) flash stock ROM with EMMA and after flashing twrp 3.2.3 my backup.

I do not want to repeat this as this is a lot of work incl. copying back the internal storage.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] 115ek:
Can you try the latest version?

At first you have to set the right timezone in TWRP settings.

The time is stored in a real time clock (RTC) which runs even if the device is powered off. Setting and reading it's value is done by a kernel driver. If you set the right time in android system it gets stored in the RTC. Then, if you boot into TWRP, the time is read again. And for me this works fine. However it takes some seconds (there's a wrong time at the beginning).
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] tramp20:
Thank you. I know this all, I tried reset to default in TWRP and set TZ etc. but these two mentioned TWRP versions do not read the RTC time (AICP ROM).

All TWRP versions before were ok. I tried this several times.

I noticed this "bug" on my Z1c after a backup with your TWRP (Date from 1970 and a complete false time even after setting the TZ).

Even after flashing one of the older TWRP date/time are wrong (only in TWRP), after booting to Android date/time is correct until I boot to TWRP again.

As I wrote the way back to a correct date/time in TWRP was for me flashing stock ROM with EMMA.

Where is this "kernel driver"? In your TWRP version or in a hidden partition? Sorry I do not know much of these internals.

I assume you did not change in the newest version something regarding this problem.

I have not the time to try the last version for now :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Android Development] lm089:
Generic question re: encrypting this device

Installed this twrp version and (unlike others) I don't see anything strange. Only thing I haven't tried so far is restoring a nandroid backup I created with this twrp release.

A few days back after I had installed this the first time Itried to encrypt my phone; after a while I received the message that encryption was completed.

Then upon reboot of the device I had to unlock it even before boot sequence had started. Aftter unlocking booting resumed and from then on everything appeared to be as before.

This surprised me a bit because on my other phone (OnePlus6 running stock OOS Pie) I have to unlock after boot sequence has completed. But OK, this may be the LOS 16 way.

Then I devided to unencrypt the phone (this is my secondary device and I only use it for playing around a bit, until I decide to sell it, maybe). Again, from my OP6 I'm used to the fact that if I remove any device locking pattern encryption is gone. But obviously not on my Z1c: after I had removed the security pattern (= set security to nothing) everything appeared to be normal. But after the next reboot all data were gone.

Question: is there a supported way to unencrypt this phone without losing any data?

If there isn't such a way: what happens to my Nandroid backups I took while the phone was encrypted? Are they still usable e.g. after I install a ROM update?
