[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
Sorry but I really don’t understand all this ?

You say:

Boot TWRP, connect with adb and run = OK I boot TWRP & hit right arrow to entre into recovery project then I start ADB ( but the adbLink I have) so nothing happens till I entre in the AD Hoc IP window = 192.168.0.29 when I see Connected devices = 192.168.0.29:5555 and in the Connection status = RECOVERY you then say: adb shell which I click on in adbLink program and I then get the black DOS type screen or like CMD showing at the top left ~ #

So I do not understand any of the rest you say about

checking current stock recovery status…NOT STOCK

checking for reason…DISABLED

stock recovery is currently disabled,

would you like to enable it?

Type “yes” to enable it, anything else to quit.

I CANT SEE ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS ??

PLEASE HELP BEFORE I LOSS MY MIND ( OR ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN )

WHERES INCOGNEGRO76 GONE!!

Hi are you still around too ? youve all deserted me! I'm stuck & in limbo got the adbLink program just dont know what to do next ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Thats the recovery adb shell window and thats fine.

You need to type:

manage_recovery

and then press enter.

Then you should see all this questions, and your answer should be:

YES

If you get this right, the stock recovery is enabled and you are ready to flash a stock rom...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognegro76:
From the CMD window you just have to type

manage_recovery

then hit ENTER

I was busy trying to load kernel modules on this same device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognegro76:
We need you to follow instructions and then report back what you're seeing. The vid you posted is perfect. That tells us that you don't actually have your device rooted or it's incomplete. You could just wipe everyhting and load a stock rom of the same version but that is a delicate operation and I'm worried you might mess it up because the instructions must be followed TO THE LETTER.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
Have you entered the command or not, its not that hard you can watch my video.

You are not telling us where you are stuck or where you need our help

You just have to type the string "manage_recovery" in the black screen and then press enter.

Then just take a snapshot of the output which the "black screen" gives and send that here.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
Hi incognegro and thank you for reply and not giving up with me.

this is what I am doing 1) I run the adbLink program and entre the IP address of fireTV

(192.168.0.29) in the box Ad Hoc IP and it then shows it in Connected devices as

192.168.0.29:5555 and in Connection status it shows "recovery" so all that is fine.

But my problem starts when 2) I click on & run ADB Shell in adbLink it brings up the black shell CMD screen

But it defaults/starts with a ~ # (top left of screen) and if I type anything in there like manage_recovery it says /sbin/sh: manage_recovery: not found and then goes back to ~# please see 2 pics below

I wil send this to SweenWolf as he may help me too if thats ok

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incognegro76:
You have to type su then press ENTER and then type in manage_recovery

You're better off just letting someone remote in and fix it because the instructions are here but you have to follow EVERY step and not skip ANY. Loading a ROM isn't hard but if you skip steps like you're already doing here then you WILL ABSOLUTELY brick your device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
SU isn't necessary/wont work, because recovery runs always as root.

I guess the fault is probably an issue with win11, maybe adblink needs to run as admin or the firewall blocks traffic...

@wluap

You can try to type manage_recovery in TWRP via your logitech keyboard. Click in TWRP advanced, then Terminal, then run the command.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
ok just tried the method in TWRP via logitech keyboard in Terminal but still get "not found" as you can see from picture, also tried su only just in case but still "not found"............... is there another program I can use maybe?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Ok, was worth a shot and not supposed to work.

Then you have to use adb shell.

If you can't get a working adb shell via recovery, I would suggest to try adb shell together with fireOS, i.e. boot fireOS, take a look into the network settings for the IP, enable adb debugging in the settings too. Then add a profile in adblink with the ftv IP, connect to your fireTV + grant adb access on the TV Screen...

Then run the command in adb shell again, but this time you need to call su as the first step.

For details, take a look into the OP of this thread:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
You are at the wrong section i.e. Network Section, here you have the option to manually set the local IP address, just exit out of there and open My FireTv > About.

You'll find the ip addess in there.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
Hi yes I've all ways known the IP address its been the same one from the start of all my messages, it shows it every time I get the first boot screen up of TWRP (top left of screen 192.168.0.29) see previous pics I've sent, and I have also confirmed it as well anyway in device/about/network of fireTV (192.168.0.29)

and that's the IP number I entre in adbLink in the Ad Hoc IP box (manually) and it then shows connected OK

WAIT !!!!! i have something different for once, the adbLink is showing under "Connection status window" "IP connection and NOT IP recovery as it has done in the passed and on my PC screen its asking me to allow USB debugging, as you ask me to turn it on (which makes sense) SO NOW if I run ADB Shell in adbLink I get a DOS screen saying "shell@sloane:/(space) $ ................... Im getting quite excited :) But now what (im shaking) I don't want to **** it up, but I will do it word for word if you tell me [PLEASE]
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
Ok I think I'm getting somewhere, this is making more sense and tying up with what you've all been say

I type manage_recovery after the $ symbol on Shell screen

and get the following :

Checking current stock recovery status...STOCK

Would you like to disable stock recovery?

Type `yes` to disable it, anything else to quit.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Looks good, but you forgot to run:

su

As soon as you called su with enter, grant access on your TV screen...

Then the $ in the cmd window changes to # and you are ready to run manage_recovery

Remember, your goal is to 'enable' the stock recovery...

As I said, you need to allow 'su access', see the prompt (with timer) on your TV screen.

I'm sorry too, since I need to quit this now... otherwise I guess I'll take the next exit near to me, which is a window, lol.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
So what are you saying about `su access` see prompt with timer on TV ? you do know I am doing all this on PC running the adbLink. so I have 1) a hdmi cable to monitor 2) ethernet cable from fireTV to network 3) logitech Bluetooth keyboard (which I think you told me to buy)

so this is what I get once I entre SU I get the first picture, do I DENY or GRANT

Ok so far so good, that all worked, I am now at stage to answer question so its saying currently disabled shall I type YES to enable it ? (see pic)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
You wanted a stock fireTV without bootmenu... therefore you need the stock recovery too.

Yes, you need to enable it.

ok I have enable it, so it now says root@sloane:/ # is that it have I fixed it
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:

Run the manage_recovery command again and it should say that the stock recovery is enabled -> take a picture
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wluap:
MATE!! i think I've cracked it NO! I should say YOU cracked it, not sure if your a Girl or a Boy or where your from UK,USA,Ireland,Germany etc ? but yea! all looks normal now, like all in English & plays without saying internet error NO "Team recovery thing" boots up any more which then screwed things up, just straight in to good old normal Amazon. it did a update which it has been trying to do for weeks, so it did after enable the TWRP, it now says in my "about" I have OS 5.2.73 (652614020) it was 5.2.6.6 (617513220) there is another update available 5.2.7.4 (656638420) but should I risk it ? what do you think ?

So basically that TeamWin recovery is still in/on the boot sector of the HHD but I have enable it.... is that right ? and if so can I wipe it completely off so the AmazonTV is just like when I bought it in the Shops ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Congratulations (y)

Let it do it's thing. (y)

It will update up to the latest and it's normal that the box does this in a few steps, i.e. after 5.2.7.4 may be 5.2.7.6 and so on.

No.

You've enabled the stock recovery so the stock amazon update-installer can do it's updates now.

Your OS on the fireTV is now 100% clean amazon, without any traces of TWRP left.

FYI, the bootmenu and twrp wasn't installed on a boot partition, it was installed in a ramdisk placed inside the OS, which gets overwritten from incoming system updates. Therfore it was important to enable the stock recovery in the first place...

TL/DR: the box is now 100% like when you bought it in the Shop.

I have a similar problem, i am rooted on 4k stick and can boot into twrp. i dont know if my stick is bricked or what but twrp can not mount any partition.

[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
Since getting my Pixel 6 I've noticed that notifications, in every way are absolutely horrible on this phone. So far I'm chalking it up to Android 12 (which I hate the interface of BTW, I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix this mess that Google gave us). From low notification volume (even if the volume is turned up) to not receiving notifications, to the notifications not synching to my Fitbit (which I had 0 issues with on my ROM'ed OP6) I seem to have a lot of issues with this Pixel 6. It is not rooted, just some standard apps installed, including aodNotify.

Also, does anyone else have the issue of when you swipe up and hold to go to the recent apps, it just shows you a zoomed out home screen and you can't swipe right to see recent apps? So no way to switch between apps or close them...very annoying.

Anyone else having issues with not receiving notifications or texts at all? I just had my girlfriend tell me she sent me a message, but I never go it at all. It would have been a basic SMS from her iPhone, and we're both on Mint Mobile (T-Mobile MVNO) in a major city in the US with 5G.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Notification work fine.

I would first look at aolNotify which clearly effects the notification system and is in beta testing.
[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
I just uninstalled it, let's see if that helps, good call. I was just thinking if it's an aodNotify issue surely other people would be talking about it :\

I guess I'm just having a ton of different issues since being on this phone, that I'm eagerly awaiting TWRP and ROMs to come out.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Any news on TWRP? I had pretty much written it off, but I guess they are still working on getting A11 support. I think they had a working version for the Pixel 3a series that was released (beta testing) in the last month or two. I never bothered to try it because A12 was right around the corner.
[Google Pixel 6] KindofBlues71:
I have this issue happen occasionally, both before and after installing aodNotify app. I'm using the buttons though, not gestures. Very weird.
[Google Pixel 6] Nimueh:
Same here using the navbar but it only happens every once in a while, no idea why. 🤷‍♀️

I find notifications to be very low indeed and some of them (like email) are delayed. Not sure if we should blame this horrible A12 (yes I also absolutely HATE it) or the device :unsure:
[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
No news as of yet, that I know of. But now that there's a working root and the firmware and kernel is released, I would imagine it is being worked on, or at least I hope it is. Just as custom ROMs, as I am hoping to run Lineage or CalyxOS once available.

Good to know it's less common using navigation buttons. I just switched back from gesture (I was trying to get used to it and adopt the new way of life lol, but guess not - back to the same old buttons it is!) and I have already noticed that the recent app menu has been working much better.

Yes, notifications have also been delayed at times as well I've noticed. I doubt it's the device, as hardware is hardware, and apps open/close quick and smoothly, browsing the web is no issue, as is scrolling on apps like Instagram in my experience. Though with this being the only phone (P6/P6P) with A12 so far, I guess time will tell if it's a device issue or Android issue. I still feel like it's a P6 ROM issue, and hopefully ROMs will come soon to resolve issues like this.
[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
Just as an update, since uninstalling aodNotify and switching to navigation buttons instead of gestures my notifications have been better and my recents list showing has been more reliable. It's still a bit laggy when loading recent apps, but at least it's working more often now
[Google Pixel 6] KindofBlues71:
One weird thing I've noticed with the notifications is when I swipe down on the status bar and tap the triangle to expand the notification, the window stays small but I can scroll the entire notification within it. I'll try to get a screenshot the next time it happens.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
That's not normal and not what I am experiencing. A reboot doesn't clear it up? If not. it may be that you'll need to do a factory reset just to clear out whatever the issue is.
[Google Pixel 6] KindofBlues71:
Ugh, I hope I don't need a factory reset. I had enough trouble getting my eSIM setup on Fi already. I haven't experienced the notification issue again, so fingers crossed, wood knocked, etc.

Hey guys,

Ive been working very hard at getting Manila2d to work in landscape (when you flip out the keyboard while manila2d is active then it will automatically switch today plugins)

this is the last piece of the puzzle: i need a today plugin that works in landscape and that can be skinned to look like TOuchflo 3d in landscape (basically skinnable shortcuts)

if i get it working ill release a .cab!

thanks guys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MFx:
something like RLtoday maybee???

Very curious how it looks in landscape on my Kaiser :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mbarvian:
thanks for the suggestion mate.

however after Googling it i saw that it was more than just a few shortcuts, even though it could easly be skinned. can you have it where it only displays shortcuts? if yes, then i will definitely try it out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dinco:
recommend the landscape same as HTC touchpro after flip out keyboard

http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/overview.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mbarvian:
yes, thats exactly how i want to skin it.

does anyone have any othersuggestions for programs that might work for this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MFx:
If you want it like that maybee something like mortbuttons is a better option...

Don't know if it's easy to skin..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mbarvian:
thanks again man

i just downloaded mortbuttons and it appears that its only a standalone applicationa dn not actually a today plugin, but i think im missing something.

ok: can a developer whip up someting really small thats just a today plugin thats made for landscape that looks and acts like the touch pro's landscape?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Girvo:
I could make an rlToday skin super fast for ya. Tonight even. QVGA I assume? I'll leave the purdy graphics to you, I'll just make a template. How's that sound?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kristoff_sz:
I would focus on Touch Dual and Action Screen.

When you sliding the keyboard of Touch Dual - the action screen starting up. Maybe something similar is done on Touch Pro.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Girvo:
Nearly done, but it's 3am here in Aus :P I'm going to hit the sack, and will upload the completed one tomorrow.

It's based entirely on rlToday, and respects rlToday's application shortcut menu [so all customisation of app names and links can be done without touching XML :)]. Nothing fancy, no animations, but it'll work.

Edit:

That's a lie. My trickery to over-ride what I was going for didn't work, so to edit the shortcuts you'll have to dive into XML for now, until I can find a way around it :)
