If none of the traditional recovery methods are working it may be time to look at unlocking the FireTV so that you can install TWRP to reflash the device. It sounds like something is corrupted and refreshing the device may be your best bet.

I don't keep up with the MediaTek exploits, but I thought I had read there are issues getting Fire Sticks in BROM mode using VMs. It's recommended that you make a live USB Linux/Ubuntu drive and boot your computer from that.

Ok, so I was able to get into the bootrom using bootrom.sh and I had to short the pins. Now it's stuck in the bootrom. it fails to flash and list the below error.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finnzz:
Did you try re-running the process several times?

My limited knowledge of Sloane is that it's fussy about staying in brom mode, and that the bootrom.sh procedure may have to be repeated many times for success (maybe +10x).

But if you have already tried a few times and it always stops at 'clear preloader header', then there may be another problem.

As long as the eMMC hasn't reached its end of life and is still writeable, there's hope.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycelitemaster:
I have tried approx 10+ times. I tried two diff cables and 3 ports. MX Linux doesn't go in SystemD boot. I tried in Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10. I get the same error. I think it's the emmc shot.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Make sure that you use the (newer) 'unlock' for sloane, not the old amonet for locked bootloaders.

Then try the gpt-fix instead the bootrom-step.

Sloane is known for device failures, the eMMC switchs to read/only which is not to recover, especially if it's a Samsung eMMC.

Good luck :)

Edit: Could be also a damaged resistor at DAT0, due to much shorting. eMMC is still fine in this case, but becomes 100% unavailable...

If emmc_write fails, most likely your eMMC is dead and there is no way to recover the device.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" SM-P580 and started working to root it so I could install more apps using a micro SD card. It was a long time ago with Android 7 or so and a while back I thought I would upgrade so I tried upgrading it to Android 11 and Lineage 18.1 and bare bones Google apps. This has been only partially successfully as the system runs but I cannot install any apps at all and have been unable to make any further progress. :( So I am looking to go back to the drawing board here. What recommendations do you have with regard to what to use that will allow me to install more apps? Thank you very much!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
I assume you got the basic stuff out of the way - unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, etc.

Did you install a Gapps package?

If you prefer something more vanilla, without the LineageOS customizations, you can try an Android GSI, which is like turning your device into a Pixel tablet. Check out my guide here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] abagm:
There are differences between Android 7,8,9 and now, especially eg.the use of sd-cards and permissions for users in general. Maybe you have to check such things as "Allow Installing apps from unknown ressources" in Settings, or you ckeck magisk modules that could help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
Thanks for the input. I have it upgraded to Android 11. Yhe unknown resources shouldn't matter AFAIK, in this case, as I am only trying to install via Play Store. I was trying to work with Magisk - I have it installed. I was going to try the ExSD module but I haven't been able to add it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
Thank you. I will look into that. I will look into what the differences are between that and LineageOS. Question: will the pen/stylus work under this configuration? Thank you again.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
In theory, yes - because GSIs are meant to be used with the stock kernel, and the system image doesn't have to have any specific hardware support.

LineageOS is built from AOSP, with added tweaks and customizations. I used it for a while, but grew tired of the Magisk issues I was having (PHH builds have built in SuperSU) so I just went straight vanilla with GMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
So I looked at your guide and decided to give it a shot. With Multidisabler, when I tried pushing that to the tablet with sideload, it failed. I have also been unable to move system.img to the tablet. I'm at a loss. I know I am missing something here but just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I just want to get this tablet up and running with Android and being able to use the 400GB SD card.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Does MTP work for you in TWRP? ADB sideload is only for installing zips from your computer; the correct command to send files to device storage is adb push. Still, if you're able to get storage access over USB in TWRP just move the files that way because it's simpler.

I'm honestly not sure if the multidisabler is necessary when using custom firmware or GSIs. I think most likely not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
Sorry - I just saw this response from you. So MTP is enabled but my laptop was unable to see the tablet. I connected the SD card to my laptop and placed the system.img file on it and then dropped the SD card back into the tablet. I was able to see it in the File Manager. As you said to, I wiped /system and flashed the system.img file. It showed "[IMAGE FLASH COMPLETED]". But when I went to reboot from the main TWRP menu, it said there was no OS installed and asked if I was sure if I wanted to reboot. So I took a gamble and selected Reboot and System again. And I guess I lost on the gamble. :) It now just loops on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen" splash screen. Well, game over... for tonight. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Don't worry about the No OS warning, I get the same thing on my Tab A after installing a GSI.

You formatted data, yes?

You did NOT wipe /boot or /product I hope?

Something I noticed with the LineageOS GSIs is that the securized ones bootlooped, and I had to flash one of the pre-rooted builds. Can you link the image you tried to flash?

As a test to ensure a GSI runs properly, download one of the Android Developer Preview GSIs and try installing that. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
I didn't wipe /boot or /product.

I did format data.

I used the system.img from the aosp_arm64-exp-T2B2.221216.006-9443277-e508d63f.zip file on this page, from the Android Developer Preview GSIs: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases

I'm guessing I didn't select the right build ?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
I also just tried the system.img from gsi_gms_arm64-exp-T2B2.221216.006-9443277-12a8e193.zip file. I get the same results - the splash screen loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] JR1979:
And so I tried the system.img files from the 2 zip files that are in the Android 13 (stable) folder:

aosp_arm64-exp-TP1A.220624.014-8819323-996da050.zip

gsi_gms_arm64-exp-TP1A.220624.014-8819323-8a77fef1.zip

Neither of these work. I still get the splash screen boot loop.

One thing I noticed is when I wipe system, it shows:

========================================

Updating partition details...

...done

Full SELinux support is present.

MTP Enabled

Failed to mount '/system_root' (Invalid argument)

Formatting system using mke2fs...

Done.

To flash you'll have to dump the payload, flash the vendor_boot and boot.img to both slots, reboot to recovery, factory reset then sideload the ROM.

hi, I was hoping somebody could help me, I misunderstood the instructions I was reading to try and boot into twrp after unlocking my phone successfully and I did something wrong and used the fastboot command for flash booting twrp.img on the zip file instead of the img file.

Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, just so it will power on again because I'm really upset and feel stupid.

[Android Auto General] Jack2022:
Hi all,

I've recently installed a Sony XAV-5000 in my car and having issues with it responding with voice commands (hey google, ok google etc).

I can press a button and it beeps and away I go with my command but using a command to consistently 'wake' the assistant is a no go.

I have updated to latest firmware, cleared cache, cleared data and it works the first time but then doesn't respond.

The interesting thing is, when I do say 'Hey Google' after clearing data/cache the screen does a slight refresh so it seems to be hearing me but not opening the assistant, it does this every time.

Any idea what's going on? It feels like a permission or something else is blocking it from opening but I've been through everything multiple times.

Google Assistant works flawlessly just on my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers Jack
