[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Fla76:
I waited to write here, if the March 2020 patches solved the problem, but unfortunately it is not...

several nokia comunity users have the same problem and nokia is not responding about It.

having Nokia 8.1, I gave Nokia 7.1 to my girlfriend last year ... great smartphone, the Android 10 update work very well, but the February 2020 patch was a disaster!

Probably it didn't install well, and then the phone asked for a factory restart.

the problem is that the Factory reset did not come back to a pre-February patch state, but always brings it to the point of "restarting the phone to finish installing the February patch".

and immediately the restart is requested, which can be postponed, but not indefinitely, so after fifteen days the smartphone restarts by itself, and freezes again asking for a factory reset!

in an endless loop!

I think I have to do a system flash to bring the phone back to a previous stable state, right?

Can you help me on the procedure to follow?

I have never unlocked the bootloader and all the rest

thank you guys
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Petya19:
My friend has the same issue.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] PCIHD:
well you have two solutions here

1) Pause your updates so your phone never installs them

2)Get your phone flashed with the stock firmware , and if you want get it unlocked.

I have spent about 2 months trying to fix the issue but in the end I got the phone flashed which fixed the problem.

The issue comes due to your phone not being able to verify the selected partitions for boot which is why it asks you to reset.
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] Fla76:
thanks for the answer!

the guarantee is still active,

I think I will send it to nokia assistance, as soon as next week I will be able to see my girlfriend (for the emergency covid19 I haven't seen her for 60 days, but next week there is the unlock down).

meanwhile I took for her a Nokia 4.2 to be used as a replacement.

I hope Nokia's lab assistance will flash the system quickly and better than what I could do :D

I have an unlocked mda, but i want to use the 3g network. Is there anything i can do to get it to work? Or just get a (at&t) phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] starkwong:
Basically, there should be no problem if you are using a 3G network based on GSM baseband. However if the 3G network is not GSM based, you have no way to get it work unless using another phone.

As I did more testings on my Fire TV Stick 4K within TWRP, most of the issues usually occur while backing up the system and vendor. In the past, I thought I was doomed because of a bricked Fire TV Stick 4K for backing those two partitions. Yesterday, I finally discovered the true fix with backing up and restoring. You need to only backup the system image, vendor image, data, and boot to get your Fire TV Stick 4K working again WITHOUT flashing a prerooted or stock image. Let me know if this works for you and I'll be glad to respond back. I also have my version of a debloated rom for the Fire TV Stick 4K which may be available in the near future and is safely able to factory reset successfully along with the setup wizard going through without issues.
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
EDIT: Version 1.0 of my debloated rom will be posted here shortly! Its a backup without my account obviously, and has a few tweaks done so far. ONLY works for Fire TV Stick 4K.

Question

Hello. Any update on this? Ive been trying to find a way to do this but have had no luck on my 4k sticks. Please share
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
There's no new update on this. It still works. What did you backup? Backing up the system, and vendor only bricks the device. Its always important to backup only the system image, vendor image, data and boot.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Thank you for the reply

I understand that appdata is stored in the root folders. Im just looking for a simple way to copy that data from one stick to another. I guess i didnt understand exactly what you meant. Im really just wanting to save my atv launcher setup and if possible my logins and passwords to my premium app subscriptions. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
You can do this with

Busybox and

I also use this for ATV and Youtube without Problems.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
And...

I am not familiar with TWRP or know how a debloated rom works. Im not a total noob or anything but im not anywhere on your level. Please leave some details.

I currently use es to backup all apps. Ftp & filezilla and use adb commands to install apps. I move over my custom codecs and kodi data etc. I do not know how to copy the appdata on 4k stick.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Big thanks to 0815hoffi. That looks like a winner. Im cant wait to try it. Im way excited! I will let you know how it goes.
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
So i move my backup to the other stick.

adb shell mkdir /sdcard/oandbackups

adb push oandbackups /sdcard/oandbackups/

adb install dk.jens.backup_305.apk

And make a reboot after restore to Apply the changes.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Sweet

Got it. Suprisingly I havent been able to find this info anywhere else. Thank You!!!
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Question

Does this method work only on a rooted device? I have busybox installed and oandbackup. The app wont let me backup app data without SU permissions. Is there a command I need to enter in terminal or something? Also regarding twrp, is that able to backup the whole device? (Testing this on my android phone btw)
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Yes you need root for this.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
What root method do you reccomend for firestick? Also just wanting to know if there is any downside to rooting? Ive never rooted one just because ive never really needed to.
[Fire TV General] WebXuseR:
just catching up stick 4k root, have 4 tv sticks, rooted the first one using kamakiri and mantis 6.2.6.8_r1, in process of setting up stick 1 with apps. Once finished want to copy the same configuration over to the other sticks. Once i use kamakiri to unlock the other sticks, do i need to bother with installing mantis pre-rooted image or i can use use this backup method :

from stick 1 and apply it to the other 4k sticks, and i shouldnt have enter the logins into the apps again ?
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
See these guides for rooting the 4k firestick.

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/orig-development/newbie-guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t4015273

The downside is you can destroy the firestick if you break any components trying to short the DAT0 or CLK points.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Thanks for all the great info. Idk if im ready to take the stick apart. Im going to watch a couple videos and see how comfortable i feel about doing this. Im sure its probably not that hard but a little unnerving for me not having done it before. I was really hoping there was an adb trick to backup this data.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

Can anyone tell me if something like this (please see link below) that can work on the firestick 4k? Everything else ive found without root requires plugging the device into a computer via usb like helium backup. https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/how-to-fully-backup-non-rooted-devices
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
Without root.

adb backup -f myapp.ab -apk com.myapp

# backup on one device

adb restore myapp.ab

adb shell pm list packages -f

# to get the appname com.******
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Having Trouble

So I tried this command adb backup -f myapp.ab -apk com.myapp

CMD says: unlock your device and confirm the backup operation. Any ideas?

also once i get this to work am i supposed to just input # or # backup on one device?

I also tried the command with adding " " & ' ' around the command and got the same message both times.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
The "unlock your device" means you have to accept the adb connection on your firestick. There should be a message displayed on your TV screen. Use the remote to accept the connection.

# means that line is a comment. It is for your information, not to be executed.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Ok. I have something weird going on here then. Normally when i connect adb it does popup and ask to allow on firestick. It is not doing that now and i have rebooted the stick and turned adb on and off several times in the settings. On my phone radb connects and will list packages etc however adb devices cmd says adb not found. My computer was doing the same thing and after playing with it for a minute it now shows attached device but still requesting unlock device.

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

I unplugged it waited 10 seconds and plugged it back in. I still cannot get a prompt... as much as i would hate to do it should i just wipe the stick and start over? I have a few weird things happening. my netflix wont open. i cleared data and uninstalled. after reinstall it worked for a while and now same thing. My downloader app also will not open. I uninstalled and reinstalled same issue.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
I'm guessing radb is the Remote ADB Shell app for Android. It sounds like you are making two adb connections to the firestick - one from your phone, and one from your pc. I don't think two connections are allowed, and that is probably part of your problem. The unlock is on a connection basis, so an unlock for your phone will not work for a pc connection. You probably need to revoke the connections on your firestick and start over using only your pc, but I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe reset to factory defaults?

Adb devices not found on your computer means you don't have the adb executable in your path. Adb devices is not an adb shell command, so it would not work on your phone. I believe the Remote ADB Shell app executes only adb shell commands.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
wow

That makes sense about the phone. I dont get why my computer was not working with adb devices command because i disabled adb debugging in settings and disconnected my phone and it still didnt work. After doing this several times the computer started working but i still havent gotten a prompt on the stick for either. I have an otg cable and flash hooked up. Partitioned to internal/external 50/50. I removed it and renistalled downloader and netflix. They both now open from the amazon menu but not from my atv launcher unless running in backround.

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

So im just gonna have to wipe it and start over. I have most my apps on the flash at least that. Backround apps and processes will not open even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Will i need to repartition the flash drive after i wipe the stick? I havent done this since i set it up?
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
update

Ok so i removed my flash drive and factory reset my stick. Adb is working correctly again. Thats the good news, The bad news is none of my apps on the flash were showing on the stick. I repartitoned the flash and now there is nothing on it. I plugged it into my computer and it just has some amazon app data. All my apps are gone. How could this be? I removed it before reset? This is just not my day! Is there anyway to fix this or am i just back at square 1?

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

I would have backed up my apks to computer but i thought they were stored on the flash. I swear im not trying to be the biggest pain in the ass of all time but will someone please help me figure out what the $%#! is going on?!
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
My guess is repartitioning the flash removed the apps.
[Fire TV General] SweenWolf:
I don't know which one to quote so,

You are right only one device can access a shell at a time.

If you are using "Remote Adb Shell" then there's no need to enter adb shell because you are already in shell.

On pc either he doesn't has ADB path set or maybe he doesn't have adb at all.

Remote adb shell creates a persistent connection to the shell, to terminate that enter

"exit" in the shell and it will disconnect the connection. then you'll be able to access the shell on you pc, and only then you will be prompted for USB debugging in Firestick.

For the partitioning part, if he has saved his file on one partition of a flash drive which he created on that stick, then he is binding that usb partition to the stick and stick will know where to look for.

If he formats the stick then stick will no longer recognize that partition on your drive, and no apk is fully installed on a flash drive, that means a reset will make it useless. If you again partition that device then that partition is formatted which in turn deletes the data of that partition creating a new one for that stick.

And for the backup prompt, that prompt is shown on the stick to allow the backup process, which i don't even remember is still a thing or not.

I am quoting you but want to clear things out to other members.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:

Thank you for clarifying. The factory reset did fix my issue with adb not giving me a prompt. Its unfortunate about the flash drive. I almost have it remade and will try again with adb backup. I am curious where the backup file will be located after using the adb command. I just wanted to copy my setup to my other sticks specifically my atv launcher settings ,logins and passwords. I will give you all an update once its done and let you know how it goes.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Hello. So I have remade my stick after losing my data and im ready to do the backup so I can copy to the second firestick. When I enter the command adb backup -f myapp.ab -apk com.myapp

Am I replacing "myapp" with an individual package name or can this command backup all appdata? Also just wondering where the backup file will be stored after doing this. Thanks.

See https://www.technipages.com/how-to-backup-your-entire-android-device

If it was me, I would do a TWRP backup per the original post in this thread.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
I do like the TWRP method however my device is not rooted and i really dont want to take all my firesticks apart in order to root them. I just want to copy my data which is why im interested in the adb method. I have customized my atv launcher,several apps with custom settings,and alot of premium apps with logins and passwords.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

I was looking at the article you posted and it requires plugging in the device to computer via USB. Can this be done on a firestick 4k being the usb port is the powersupply? Ive seen several backup methods that work this way like helium backup but i was under the impression this could not be done with a firestick.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
I don't think the article requires a USB connection. It should also work with a WiFi connection. It is possible to connect the firestick to a USB port, though, as long as the port provides sufficient power. A powered USB hub will normally provide enough power.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
That would be awesome. Ill definetly give it a try. Have you used this method on a firestick before? I dont really care how as long as i can save and move this data it takes a ridiculous amount of time to setup all these apps exactly how I have them (especially ATV Launcher) and enter all these logins.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
I'm not sure which method you are asking about. I prefer TWRP, so I have not used adb backup. I'm sure adb backup works, though. I have run my firestick 4k plugged into my powered USB hub. A USB port on a computer may or may not work, depending on how much power it was designed to provide. I would not not try it on my computer without knowing the power rating of the USB port, though. Bad things could happen if the USB port cannot provide sufficient power.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
No luck yet

So I have tried adb backup a few different ways and I have encountered the same issue each time. I also want to clarify there is nothing wrong with my adb. The Amazon Firestick 4k seems to be either missing or has blocked the system app that pops up on an android phone and asks you to enter your pin to unlock your device when backing up your data. If anyone knows how to install this system app or any other way to backup and save appdata WITHOUT ROOT or even a way to root it without dismantling the device and shorting out circuits please share.

For example :

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb backup -f wolf.firelauncher.ab -apk com.wolf.firelauncher

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb backup "-f wolf.firelauncher.ab -apk com.wolf.firelauncher"

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb backup "-apk -shared -all -f C:\Users\heads\Onedrive\Desktop\adb backup\backup.ab"

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb backup -all

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb backup "-all"

Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation.

C:\Users\heads\OneDrive\Desktop\adb backup>adb devices

List of devices attached

[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
I get the same thing on my firestick - no confirmation screen, and an empty backup file is created. Have you disabled any apks on your firestick? Mine has been fully debloated, so I could have disabled whatever provides the confirmation screen.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Yep

Yes I am running icebox but it did the same thing before I reset my device and I did not have icebox installed then. One fellow on here said i should be getting a popup but idk. I got the empty backup files as well. Im pretty much out of ideas that do not involve root. Is there a way to install twrp and backup without root?
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
As far as I can tell, the Backup Manager is not on the firestick. Perhaps you can transfer the apps with an "adb pull". See https://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-transfer-amazon-fire-tv-apps-to-a-fire-tv-stick/
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Or is there a way to install the system apps that make this work on mobile? I saw an article with the popup window running and it says full backup. If i could get that window to popup I think it would still work on the stick.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
You can install TWRP without root, but you still have to disassemble the stick and short the contacts. I think that is what you are trying to avoid.

Thats a good idea i did think about adb pull but was unsure if it would work or what to enter exactly. Im going to try this today and post my results. Thank you

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Yes exactly why ive been trying to use adb. I will probably try this if nothing else works but ive got 3 sticks and i would prefer not to open them all up. Win or lose I appreciate everyone trying to help me out!
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
So I tried the tutorial with adb pull and I was able to pull an apk and sideload it but the appdata did not come with it. I have 95% of my apps mounted on a flash drive using OTG. When attempting to pull from mount it says does not exist even though the package is listed using pm list packages -3 -f or just -f. I know the location is correct. I use this for pm move-packages com.myapp flash#here. Im running out of options...

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

I can live with re-entering my 15 different accounts on each stick if i could just backup my atv launcher. I can copy all apks and files via FTP and batch install them with adb then drop a few folders and move some packages. That part is great by itself. Its just the logins,real debrid and trakt,custom settings and then the dam launcher which takes longer than everything else combined. Other than that just setup aftv settings,otg partition,ftv launch x permission,and icebox. Thats about everything. I am so close to having this perfect system and im stuck at this point.
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
Since your apps are on a flash drive, how about cloning the flash drive? That would help only if the app data is also on the flash drive. Do you know if move-packages moves /data/data/package_name to the flash drive, or moves only /data/app/package_name?

Googling "android clone application +data" brings up lots of apps, but I know nothing about them, and some of them look a bit sketchy. It's likely many (or maybe all) won't run on the firestick either.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
Yes pm move-package (no s) moves only the app package and not the data. I had the same idea originally but found this out when i removed the flash and reset to factory default. When reinserted the device couldnt find any of my apps. When repartitioned it erased the whole flash. I plugged it into the computer and it was bare. If there is a variation of this command that could include data as well it would fix my whole issue. If you have ideas im happy to try them.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I have attempted to find other methods but most apps will require that same unlock screen i cant get to open or require plugging it in via usb. Im not confident the power supply will be adequate to plugin the stick that way. If it was a phone, an android box, or was rooted there are tons of options. Like you im not sure what all can work on the firestick and i dont really have anyone to ask which is why im on xda forum. I need professional help! Lol
[Fire TV General] dcarvil:
Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I don't think you can do it without TWRP, and if you install TWRP you might as well go ahead and root.
[Fire TV General] Headstrongrc:
You and me both. I will probabaly go ahead with TWRP then. I still think installing the missing system apps would enable adb to do this. But im thinking i would also need to install the device lock to set a pin and backup manager or whatever to enter it. Thats all over my head. Thanks for trying. If i figure out a way I will post it here.
