[Fire TV General] beatbreakee:
As stated, for all who are interested/looking. The CURRENT Firestick 4k , direct from Amazon is still 100% Unlock/Rootable. I have had the first release, for a while and it finally burned out. So i took the plunge and ordered a brand new one. Obviously it goes without saying that there is only 1 generation of Firestick 4k, but there have been many reports of ppl not being able to run the script on them. Well i am here to confirm that straight OOB direct from Amazon you will get a stick that has no newer than 6.2.8.1 on it, and if you immediately crash the update from installing via the initial setup, you can enable dev options, usb debug, and run the OTA disable app to erase the downloaded update, and block the update channels that are normally contacted. (search forum for the TDUK Firestick Update Blocker). Then it is completely safe to connect back to your network to quickly log into your amazon account, and then disconnect again IMMEDIATELY once completed. (Failure to disconnect immediately will allow built in scripts to start the update download again in the background and then either once you let the device go to sleep, or if you accidentally reboot, it will auto install on the next load!) But if you completed the 1st part, then you're good to go on using the Kamakiri 2.0.1 scripts to Unlock/Twrp/Root without having to open your stick up. EZ - Peezy. 5 min and my stick is ready to re-customize like i want, but i get the new remote, and it seems a bit snappier... might be just me.

*Also, for those who dont have an OTG, or dont want to use one: simple process is to unplug the usb cable from the OEM adapter that comes with the stick, and plug that straight into your computer. 1st get your linux / fireiso environment ready, and have Kamakiri already on the "Waiting for Device" prompt... Then unplug from your adapter block, and plug right into your PC's USB port. Script should immediately take action, and you're still connected to your TV, so after running the 'fastboot-step.sh' , you will see TWRP on your TV. Now just run "adb shell" , in your same terminal window you have open. Then use TWRP cli to install Magisk, or flash your Rom /whatever you plan on doing. No need to swipe to allow modifications, cuz running "twrp install <whatever you want.zip>, it will automatically bypass that for you.*

hope this info helps somebody!

(PS. DO NOT choose to have Amazon link your device, in the ordering screen. It will offer this before checkout, and I'm almost positive that if you do this, then they open the package and setup your stick for you, thus almost guaranteed they will install the current updated firmware, which is said to block the pre-loader setup ... you want a virgin Firestick, untouched by their grubby little update installing hands! lol)
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
We are good to go on using kamakiri 2.x just out of the box...

Thats the safest way, no need to do anything infront of the unlock.
[Fire TV General] Rortiz2:
Just as a FYI, I also unlocked my new sheldonp (I ordered it on Prime Day) without any problem. Just make sure to run the unlock exploit before powering on the device.
[Fire TV General] ForbEx:
sooo if I got my 4k max today, I should not power it on, and wait for unlock release, right?
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
Yes ;) :D
[Fire TV General] ycodryn:
Hmm let me get straight. Tomorrow I will get my 4k (non max) and I'm from Europe. Can't I power it on to see the firmware version? I bought it to escape from sony tv bloatware. Can't be still in the matrix please 😂 I'm looking into removing bloatware, root or no root as required to get the job done. I will use it only with kodi for local content. That's it.
[Fire TV General] Sus_i:
No

The best is if you try the unlock first, kamakiri 2.1 from this thread:

[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire TV Stick 4K (mantis)

NOTE: There have been multiple reports of devices with serial numbers containing VM190 or higher being shipped with DL-Mode disabled in BROM. These devices cannot be unlocked using kamakiri. These devices do not show up at all on USB when...

xdaforums.com

Note: The 'shorting' isn't necessary anymore... and it's very easy to do it now, you can see the updated procedere (or lets say guide) in this threads OP:

Read this whole guide before starting. This is for the 3rd gen Fire TV Stick (sheldonp) and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon). NOTE: FireOS < 7.2.7.3 required NOTE: This process does not require you to open your device. What you need: A Linux...

Thank you for your time. I will read the threads and comeback with some info.

Ok stick arrived, is with VM10137. Now is rooted and working. Thanks again.
[Fire TV General] iCornflakes:
I've got mine from Blackfriday sales in Europe. Germany to be exact.

Never turned it on once. Did not connect to internet.

I always get "RuntimeError: ERROR: Serial protocol mismatch, expected 0000 got 2001"

on executing bootrom-step.sh

Boot-Fastboot.sh ran just fine saying "preloader ready, sending FACTACT"

I'm not sure if that means patched.
[Fire TV General] juvenile43:
yes i can also confirm. i bought one a month ago and unlocked it out of the box no prob. I got excited so ordered a second and that one (same process) is giving me the 0000 got 2001 error also.
[Fire TV General] ahsad:
Can anyone please point me to instructions on how to do this?
[Fire TV General] ahsad:
IMHO, these Amazon claims do not hold water. I can buy a Dell computer that can do all those "nasty" things with apps, and Dell will not get into legal issues.
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
As soon as you connect to WiFi during setup you will see checking for updates. Hold 'back'+'menu' on the remote for 5sec as soon as you see this screen. It will open an accessibility screen, just tap 'back' on the remote, and the update step is skipped.

You can either throttle your internet connection to give you more time on the checking for updates screen, or just unplug your router when you see that screen.

===========

Alternatively, when you are setting up WiFi (entering your password), tap on Advanced on the onscreen keyboard, enter Ighor's DNS address for DNS1 + DNS2, and the stick will be blocked from downloading updates right away. Then use back+menu to skip the check for updates screen.
[Fire TV General] ahsad:
Is "Ighors DNS address for DNS1 + DNS2" the exact command, or should I put in the actual IPs for the DNS servers? If I am to enter IPs is the + necessary?

Did you mean to type "ignore" or is "lghors" what I really should type?
[Fire TV General] Finnzz:
Yes Ighor, not ignore :). Click on that link, and it has step by step information how how to fill out the advanced WiFi settings.

When you get to the option to enter the DNS, you need to enter the DNS IP address corresponding to one of Ighor's DNS servers (choose the one that corresponds to your geographical region).

Ighor's DNS servers block the addresses that serve Amazon's OTA updates. By using them in your advanced WiFi settings, you are blocking your FireTV from connecting to them.
[Fire TV General] ahsad:
Thank you. I am new to the forum and did not catch that the blue writing was a link. I clicked it this time.

[Nokia G10 / G20 / G21] fxnoob:
Hello, I have a Nokia G10, I bought it in January. When I got it it had some updates up til March and since then it stopped OTA updating. So they released Android 12 in May and 2 more updates and my phone always says is latest version (March security and Android 11). Nokia support told me to factory reset it, but I cannot reset it since is a work phone with work e-mail and some software I will lose. Any idea how to fix the OTA without resetting it? It has version 00WW_1_260SP05. Thanks.

I factory reset it, doesn't update. I will send in service.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ld-runner:
when an email or sms comes in, i little envelope shows up on the top of the screen and the bottom left hand of the screen changes from calendar to 'Notification'.

is it possible to not have that happen. i use spb phone suite and the home screen already shows this info via a number of unread messages. i do not need a 'Notification' message to show up also.

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HHumbert:
Geez, I kinda want mine back. I used a tweaking program to set it to something else, and now I can't find out how to set it back to get the Notification display behavior....

Any clues, aside from reflashing :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lollonais:
I actually want mine back too without having to set it all the time. But in your case, go to start>settings>Sounds & Not on the bottom select Notifications, then select the event you want to change, you case "New Email" and check off Display.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ld-runner:
that does not work. maybe its the ROM. maybe a soft reset is required....

Hi MBAlbright -- Thanks for the ptr. However, what I really want is the ability when I have a notification up, to automatically rebind the left softkey on the homescreen to "NOTIFICATIONS", so that pressing it will make it seem like I pressed the little notification icon.

Any idea on that one? This is how the older ROMs used to operate.

Thanks!

Hello everybody, first time asking here.

Problem is with endless booting, sometimes it restarts back to TWRP.

After disabling MTP in TWRP and adb shell I see:

So I look deeper and found

Seems that the symlink is broken and points to itself. Is it true? I found more symlinks like that:

so I am not sure whether this is broken system issue or something else. At least in Linux I would consider it broken but AndroidOS is not so familiar for me.

I have A3 (2016) [a3xltee] with unofficial 18.1 but the problem was also on the previous official 17.1 - I upgraded to see whether it fix the [rpbem. I did it before I found the issue with symlinks.

Any advice?

The phone itself has issues, was swimming with me in the pool, and it life is expecting to end but I would like at least to run it to sync all data and export to new phone.

BTW, those are all ld.config.txt files I found with find
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it went swimming with you, it is more likely that the hardware is damaged, not the software.
[General Questions and Answers] _rl:
It was like two years ago. Was dried out by a technician. Was working fine since then. And all problems started yesterday. Could be that hardware was degradated over the time (corrosion)

But I was able to push the problem further.

I wiped out system and installed unofficial 18.1, now the /system is OK but still is endless booting.

Current other problem is with:

Of course file exists. I tried to browse for similar cases ut none of the proposed solutions was working for me.

Hi All,

I have tried various rooting methods for this phone, and none seem to work.

I also cannot find any threads directly related to the LG K11 phones.

It is android 7.2.1 (nougat) so should be easy enough, but all the methods I have tried have failed.

Have tried the LG one click rooting method (old and new), the ones using sendcommand.exe (both windows and linux)

Have tried kingoroot and kingroot, both state they CAN root the phone, but both fail.

have tried the zergrush exploit, no success.

have tried the 4z/2z/universal methods and none seem to work.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

or recommend a method that should/will work on this phone?

I have looked at magisk, but it seems to be for android 9-12 (this is 7) and I cannot find the correct method for rooting with magisk,

and I am having some trouble locating the LG K11 firmware. (K10 is easy and everywhere)

Please do assist, I would be very greatful.

Any help or pointers appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] thescionix:
Update as well,

It is harder as the only way to get into flash firmware mode it to hold volume up and plug in usb cable,

only way to exit this is to disconnect the battery.

There is no way to boot the phone into fastboot mode.

(method online is to hold volume down and insert USB cable, this does NOT work.)

I purchased a Nokia x100 a few days ago, and ran into a surprise I can't even find out how it's happening. All my desktop icons lost two years ago, not only back, but positioned on my Android desktop, exactly how they were two years ago, but reverts after phone is left on charger. This is what I did:

Upon signing in, and restoring my phone, getting most of my applications back from Google cloud, I started putting back icons from the tray, but couldn't read the text, so ran BIG FONT, to change to 175%.

Hit apply, then closed the application, and suddenly, all the icons I placed were gone, but all my two year old icon screens long lost, were all back!!

Applications I lost, all to there as well!! Every exact position, had icons where I placed them on my old phone. Sadly, not any of my link icons.

Put my phone on charger, come back and find not only did phone reboot, the only icons there, are the ones I placed when I first logged in.

When I go to BIG FONT, and apply my 175%, the icons in both the tray and on desktop, all reappear all over again.

Anyone know what is doing this so I can lock the desktop so as not to lose my icons again? I have the feeling, there is a feature that big Font is accidentally activating, and worried once it gets patched, I'll lose all I just got back all over again.

Phone is a Nokia X100, a varient of the older 7.2 model. Great phone, sadly not rootable

So, I am trying to figure out how I can update both slots to C.48 on my Indian variant OP9 so that I can re-flash Nameless and hopefully fix the sensor issue.

The part where it gets confusing is that according to the repo there is no full zip release of C.48 (only C.47) for the IN variant. As far as I know, my options are as follows:

Option 1​

MSM back to OOS 11.

Local update to C.47 (via full zip from repo).

Reboot, local update again to C.47 (for second slot).

Flash Nameless

Option 2​

MSM back to OOS 11

Local update to C.47 (via full zip from repo).

Reboot, local update again to C.47 (for second slot).

*Local update incremental update to C.48 for IN variant.

*Reboot, local update again incremental update to C.48 for IN variant (for second slot).

Flash Nameless

Option 3 (not sure if possible)​

MSM back to OOS 11

Cross flash to global firmware C.48 (via full zip for global variant from repo).

Flash Nameless
