Unfortunately, there is NO WAY to root Fire OS 5.7.0.0 without opening the tablet. Reasons: 1. Bootloader is locked, 2. If you attempt to downgrade Fire OS 5.7.0.0 below 5.4.0.0, you will brick your device. The ONLY way to Root and install TWRP is opening the tablet and using something conductive, using some random switch of the same size like the pins on the tablet, something to open the tablet, and a Linux Pc (Not VM, Most likely may not work) Read this post https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-downgrade-fire-7-ford-and-austin.3899860/ this should help root or install newer android versions and root. SuperSU link (if you successfully installed twrp) https://supersuroot.org/ link to the buttons (To unlock bootloader I guess? Btw, you need micro-soldier tools or- just click the XDA TWRP link to see what to do) https://www.amazon.com/Momentary-Tactile-Button-Switch-Assortment/dp/B07LCBLB8N/ref=sr_1_19?crid=3KB51OOE7LYGP&keywords=mini+button+switches&qid=1681097908&sprefix=mini+button+switches,aps,425&sr=8-19 If you want custom roms for this search for some.

I have remote desktop working, I can control everything from my Pro... But the screen looks really bad, and when I go to properties it says 8 bit color quality and 640x480... It won't let me adjust either of those when I am connected...

Any thoughts?

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
Hi all,

I had posted here a year ago when my previous S10e suddenly died and after that learning experience which was that google drive and dropbox didn't automatically backup all folders. This time when my phone died I have all my data and am just disappointed that this second phone died in 15 months. I purchased the previous and current one that just died new. I never went swimming or submerged my phones. First one randomly died while watching zoom, shut down then nothing. The memory was transferred to a donor motherboard and data extracted. This time the phone had a few app crashes suddenly. I removed the app instagram funny enough and reinstalled then it didn't crash. Was using it as normal then suddenly it crashed and started boot looping then crashing. I got to some recovery menu with options, but once I tried turning it off to boot into safe mode it died completely. No clue what is wrong with the 2nd phone. Right now I am just trying to learn what killed the phone and how to prevent it as I ordered another S10e. All have been the same sku S10e black if that matters.

My old S7's never had an issue and neither did my Sony phones. But the second time a phone dies with what I would consider normal use of just web browing, mostly wifi use and occasional photos I don't see how they should fail this spectacularly. What was interesting was the device showed up in windows when boot looping, but my concern was not being able to access the data due to screen lock which is why I tried turning it off to boot into safe mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
High G impacts; always use a good case to help prevent internal damage from drops. Chiosets can be damaged internally and the BGA chipsets especially with all their solder pads on the bottom are vulnerable to high G loading and board flexing.

Keep phones out of direct sunlight especially when charging.

High intensity microwave and RF can take out a device. ESD can as well but the external inputs are harden however repeated insults of sufficient energy eventually degrade that protection.

Always use the SD card as the data drive (all critical data goes here) then regularly and redundantly back it up to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
Yes I manually would move everything to the sd card after the first failure where certain folders weren't saving in the sd card. I use a speck case. My S7 I had longer and back then I used to travel more and never had an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I don't consider most app data critical. Those that I do consider critical like Poweramp or ColorNote allow for complete backup.

If I'm forced to do a factory reset than I believe it's wisest to delete all data that's not critical. One less thing to cause another boot loop...

Lol, I had two back to back boot loops/resets in 3 days prior to this load. 3rd time I made sure it was right🤣 Got my Android organized as a result of that fubar.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] S10eandtears:
I wish there was an app to backup all files like Apple does. That would be great.

[Introductions] sFr0DgE:
To start I am just “tech savvy” enough to create a MESS 😂. I came upon this site trying to figure out a few things about my Amazon kindle fire tablet. Everything we own is Apple (and in my opinion WAY more user friendly -some probably has to do with me being a creature of habit 😉). We have the Blink security system (which is Alexa/Amazon) and I wanted to be able to say “Alexa, show garage camera”. Well that works great -just a matter of syncing accounts. I would like to download other apps OUTSIDE of the doggone Amazon store. I did figure out how to finally download and install all 4 of the APK’s to be able to even download the Google Play app but now my problem is finding the correct version for my tablet. I’ve made it this close but it was time to put it down before it ended up chucked out in the street!!!! I believe this site will help me tremendously!! Oh I forgot to mention, a lot of the “walk-thrus” have you downloading this or that app…… I CAN’T EVEN DOWNLOAD WHAT I WANT 🤬. Anyway I did finally find the “back door” to getting the APK files. I am glad to be here -I seriously doubt I will be of any help to anyone but I am definitely adamant on finding answers. I am willing to try 🫣 lol. Thanks again for welcoming me 🥹

"The followed instructions to flash everything. Flashed ok. But after fastboot reboot, doesn't turn on at all..."

He flashed everything which usually means you flash all images extracted from payload.bin and this means you flash xbl.img and xbl_config.img too. But are supposed to be flashed on 8 only (ddr4 ram) only and will kill 8pro/8t/9r (ddr5).

I wish i am wrong but if he flashed ALL via fastboot this is what happend.

I know this topic has been brought up before. But there is not always a half and full explanation.I have Oneplus 8 pro too. I can't enter recovery mode. Boots into fastboot. I've printed a wide variety of msm tools files from edl. It writes smoothly, but when opening the boot screen, it says "your device is corrupted it cannot be trusted and may not work properly" and does not open. What could be the reason? Android 10 11 msm roms, Coloros Hydrogenos all but all tried. There is no recovery. I can't open the oem lock, I can't do anything.

Not true oh I know this because I did that as well flashing the wrong ram but I was curious when time and plugged one of my Samsung phones into it and they were able to go into file transfer mode winning the phone is running the problem is getting it picked up with the right driver setup according to know I have read on Qualcomm forms it seems like it's a set of drivers not just an individual one if the device is at the point where it doesn't get to the EDL mode.

[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
You're quite sure that when the lock screen is showing that there is no ADB running?

Does the device make any reaction when plugged into a desktop?

A slim chance, but you might try rebooting it and after it starts rebooting, but before it gets to the lock screen, reset it.

If you do this a bunch of times (>8) it might think that it can't boot and will go to recovery.

If nothing works, you're going to have to open it and find test points or disable the flash so that it goes to the ROM bootloader.

Step one, is using lsusb -v or UsbView.exe to know what you've got.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] benzenec:
Hi everyone. Last month, I bought a network unlocked Xperia 1 J8110 from a UK vendor for use here in the US. It arrived in excellent physical condition and is from a reputable seller with thousands of phone sales, so not just some random person. I checked behind them, and this phone is for sure network unlocked (see attachment) and from what I've read online, it should work in the US. I've owned plenty of UK phones from other brands and they worked fine here.

The trouble is, I have not been able to get this thing to work with any carrier! I’ve now tried Ultra Mobile (T-Mobile’s network), AT&T, and now US Mobile (Verizon’s network). When I plug in a SIM card, the phone recognizes it and reboots. However, after going through the activation process, I never get any 3G, 4G, or SMS functionality. This is ironic as I have Verizon and T-Mobile towers literally behind my house.

The furthest I got was with AT&T, which received the welcome SMS and showed full bars on network signal. However, the phone kept asking me to “Sign in to network” like it does with WiFi but there was no way to do that. This was after doing the full activation with AT&T, giving them my IMEI, receiving a phone number, a confirmation email and everything. With Ultra, I got the welcome SMS from them but was never able to send my own or do calls in either direction. With US Mobile, it does literally nothing. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth work fine, and I’ve checked for obvious stuff like airplane mode being on.

I then figured I’d see if maybe flashing a version of the J8170 firmware would help. I used NewFlasher to flash the “J8170_Customized US_55.2.E.0.165-R7C” as downloaded off of XperiFirm, which was successful. But it’s made no difference. The only issue I’ve seen others report online is that VoLTE might not work with international phones, but I can’t make calls or send texts period.

Can anybody think of what the root of this problem might be? I’ve tried to figure this out for myself, but I’ve reached a dead end in my searching online, maybe I’m just not choosing the correct keywords. Please let me know which other screenshots or other information is required and I’ll post them. I will be so thankful for any input at all. I appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] PleaseHelpMeImSexy:
Hello,

I tried using https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-lineageos-15-1-8-1-0_r48-j730gm-fm-f-03-11-18.3751681/ but for some reason it wouldn't detect my Sim Cards, so it was a useless approach. I ended up getting the ROM stock through SamFirm and was able to install it and I have my Galaxy working again.

Now, the original issue remains > I have no freaking space on my phone. It only has 16GB internal storage and 70% of it is used by god knows what.

I have 2 possible solutions:

- install custom ROM > if you have any links please let me know. Either Pixel Experience, or whatever, I just need something with decently clear steps to follow

- use my SD Card as internal storage. For some bizzarre reason it's turned off on Samsung, how could I enable it?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The bandwidth of the SD card interface is too slow for use as internal storage. Use it as a data drive instead.

Only apps, DCIM and the download folders should be on internal memory. The DCIM can be safely moved to the SD card. Leave a couple gbs of headroom on internal memory at all times.

Otherwise it sounds like you have outgrown the phone. My dual drive N10+ setup doesn't have many large 3rd party apps loaded. Even so 60gb is my typical usage. Since the available storage is many times larger than this, no worries. I typically use this large volume of unused storage for "scratch" storage. More is always better...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] PleaseHelpMeImSexy:
I only have 2GB of Apps and my Storage is at 11.8/16. That's my problem. I can't even move the apps that I want to the SD Card because most apps don't allow it. I'm talking about apps that I rarely use, can't even move them.

It's not like the phone is filled with Images or Videos, I don't care about that and I always delete whatsapp crap.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Something is using the space. Keep all social media trash apps (which is all of them) off the phone. Logon through browser only, it adds another layer of protection.

Try clearing the system cache. If you can't sort it out factory reset then carefully reload. Do Not use SmartSwitch as its a known troublemaker.

Using the SD card as the data drive you should be able to come up with a somewhat workable compromise. Consider an upgrade to a used or new N10+, you won't have this issue again.
