[Q] KF HD 7" Not responding to anything

I had my KF HD rooted for a while and wanted to try CM to make it into a semi full-fledged tablet. Along the way it got into a bootloop. Now the battery has died and I ordered a fastboot adapter from the guys from Blackhat and nothing is happening. When I plug it in all it shows is the battery with one red bar and the computer does not register it. Is completely dead or can I save it.
Update: Well gave it a few minutes with the fast-charger and it had shown the boot loop again, gotta let it charge a little bit and then try again. Will update if anything happens.

Was gonna say you needed to let it set for a few minutes. After it kicks on again leave it for a a few minutes. Then, with it still plugged in, press the power button down for 30 seconds and it will power off. Now unplug and replug in the fastboot cord right away and you will see the screen say fastboot.
Now you need to restore your tablet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 make sure you have the SDK package downloaded as well.

I can get it to fastboot. But adb does not list the device anymore. Also I run 7.2.3 system restore and it hangs on the system restore part when doing any of the first 3 options. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and nothing happens, the program never progresses and the fastboot screen never changes.

I can see the Kindle in Device Manager and it lists Android ADB Interface when you expand it. Fastboot is on, but ADB is not seeing the device and it is not appearing in My Computer either.

With your tablet in fastboot, open a command window and type "fastboot devices" with no quotes and you should be able to see a number and your device. This is good and means there is communications. if not then you need to install the proper drivers.
Take take your SDK file and look for the folder that has the ADB.exe in it. I think this is the tools folder. Now open it and stick the drivers stunts has in that folder. Drivers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477379 Now go install that driver for the Kindle in the device manager. Remember that where ever you CD from, that USB driver has to be in that folder as well. Now open that folder with the drivers in it again and stick the stock Amazon images needed in it (get from restore tool if want or Hascode has some in his OP for this) and hold shift and right click on "open command window here." Now you are in CD cmd. You can probably just as easy CD from inside the system restore tool as well (unzip it.)
Now type fasboot devices
You should be able to see a number and your device. This is good and means there is communications.
You need three files. boot.img, recover.img and system.img
issue these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "your boot image name here."
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "your recovery image name here."
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "your system image name here."
Make sure you end the commands with .img
Wait a little bit for it finish
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

I will attempt this when I get off work.
My question is should I delete the android folder in my documents and reinstall sdk to start fresh? I am looking to starting fresh because of the different changes I have done to the files. If I delete the android folder, what process brings it back, what software reinstalls it?
When looking at printers and devices, tate-pvt-08 appears under unknown devices. Is that a good sign or false hope?

Alright well I am trying to flash the 7.2.3 bin through fastboot, about how long is it supposed to take. Does it show progress or anything or do you just have to wait for it to change to each img file?

Good job. Now you have some ADB / fastboot experience and can rely on that and not quick fix sometimes half working working tools.

[Q] DPI change gone wrong

I made a mistake when changing the DPI on my LG Flex using Texdroider DPI, this happened to me before when i set a too lower value. Now my phone boots and i immediately get a UI crash error which i have to press ok and it appears again, in the time between errors the phone is not responsive.
First my phone came with 4.0.2 which i rooted using ioroot then i modified the DPI, crashed bad one time as it was not booting anymore but i was able to use adb to restore the backup files (build.prop) that the program (Texdroider DPI) made. I had to use the same PC from which i performed the rooting process but it worked eventually.
I then updated to 4.4.2 and my phone was unrooted, after that i used towelroot to root it again and it installed the SuperUser app. Now i am stuck with my problem:
Tried using ADB shell to restore the backup files but i need root permission to do so.
1. When trying adb root i get "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" (Error which didn't appear in the past)
2. When i try adb shell then su nothing happens in the command window, but on the phone i get a popup for granting access to "adb" and i cannot press the Grant button as my phone is not responsive.
What can i do in this situation? Are there any solutions for one of these two methods? Like granting privileges to adb trough the command window?
Please Help, Thank you.

unless you have custom recovery or can grany adb root access i think your only option since it still is restock

Delete OTA software update

I have a Note 9 with Verizon that has Oreo 8.1.0 on it. I have been trying to avoid downloading the Pie update. I had developer options on and auto updates were turned off, yet the update still got downloaded. How can I delete the downloaded software and stop these the installation reminders? It says I can delay the update only 8 more times before it automatically installs it My phone is not rooted and I don't know the first thing about rooting a phone. Any help would be appreciated!

I dont think you can permanently stop it without running some adb command. Too my knowledge there is no root currently available for the Snapdragon version of the Note 9.
Other users on here might know the adb command to run though but I'm not knowledgable on it.

Thank you for replying. I hope someone knows something.

Try using package disabler pro to disable the update services. Might work.

What you can do is hard reset your phone! Make sure you back up everything first that way the update will get wiped off your phone! Also when you re set it up, do not connect to network! Make sure NO Wi-FI NO Sim! Once your at home screen! Disable all auto updates from settings and dev options then install Adhell 3 disable all update packages and you will be fine!
quote "Adhell 3 can easily block any package plus it has the added benefit of system wide ad-blocking. Use this guide to setup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tance-t3873831 (its post 3 or 4 I think that has the instructions). Enjoy!" Not mine--> He posted this another thread! @mtweisenbarger777

Yes that would work too^ I'm just blocking the services and seem to have done the job for me so far as I had that same concern as I just downgraded from pie and don't want to accidently update again

I stopped the updates by going to the Note 9 U1 XAA firmware. No Verizon branding. No VZW updates.

Package disabler apps must be purchased? But why not just disable with adb? (it's built in to your Note9 and free)
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/176727/stop-galaxy-s7-upgrade-nag-screen/176739#176739
I just did this, so we'll see if this works over the next few days and doesn't break anything else:
adb shell
to find packages:
pm list packages | grep soagent
pm list packages | grep wssyncmldm
to disable:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm disable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm
enable later:
pm enable-user --user 0 com.sec.android.soagent
pm enable-user --user 0 com.wssyncmldm

I cannot figure out how to get to the place where I can perform ADB commands.
Directions say to select PTP mode, but I do not have that as a choice in the status bar, when I connect my Note 9 on Oreo to Windows 10 laptop. I think that is why no commands work in the Powershell as administrator window, opened in the Platform Tools folder.
Do I start in Recovery or Download Mode?
I also read that ADB commands can be performed in ODIN, but I don't see where to type.
In Power Shell for Fastboot I receive the following error, when entering "adb devices"
adb : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

1. Use cmd not powershell
2. Use. "Cd c:/your folders/folder-where-adb.exe-is" and replace the filepath with the filepath that leads to where your ADB.exe file is. Most likely in platform tools folder.
3. Go Into developer settings, enable USB debugging.
4. Plug phone into computer using file transfer mode, check your phone and allow your phone to "trust" your PC Always when the box comes up.
5. Now type ADB shell into the cmd prompt and you should get a $: instead of C: on the blinking line. Now you can execute PM Commands

Am I set to prevent OS updates and stay on Oreo or did I do a bad thing?

Apologies, for the small pic in the post above!

[GUIDE] Fix Screen Recorder stuck bug

Few RM3 are experiencing a bug in which the screen recorder button in notification bar get stuck and doesn't turn on or off anymore so here'e the fix
REQUIREMENTS:
ADB: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037
STEPS:
1. Turn on USB debugging in your phone from developer options
2. Connect your device to your PC and open Windows powershelll(if windows 10) or cmd(if windows 7) in the adb folder
3. Type the following commands without the ""
adb devices
adb shell
“pm uninstall -k --user 0 <cn.nubia.supersnap>”
4. After it shows success reboot your device and cloase the cmd window
5.Open the cmd window again and connect your device and type the following command
"adb shell cmd package install-existing <cn.nuba.supersnap>"
6. Reboot your device and your problem will be fixed

Hi,
I just tried your instructions, and eventually, it worked out. I fixed the issue. But your manual contains some slight errors:
- The “pm uninstall -k --user 0 <cn.nubia.supersnap>” part should be typed in CMD without the < > marks, this is kind of unclear.
- Step 5 contains 2 errors, cn.nuba.supersnap should become cn.nubia.supersnap, and here the command only works when you
remove "adb shell", so: ''cmd package install-existing cn.nubia.supersnap" should work.
At least with me it worked like this, hope it helps.
Kind regards

I could not understand the starting process..
Please I didn't understand what's ABD Folder...I couldn't find it anywhere ..

Remove Sprint apps and get rid of Sprint activation warning on unlocked Sprint G8

I just picked up a "renewed" unlocked G8 thinq (Model LM-G820UM) on Amazon for a pretty good price. I'm using it on ATT prepaid, but its got a Sprint logo on startup. It also complained about network activation at every startup, but otherwise worked fine.
Combined with the fine work of rldev, here's a guide to remove the bloatware and ditch that activation message. It will still say sprint on bootup/shutdown, but other than that, no way I can tell its a sprint phone.

NOTE: The last line will remove the Sprint Activation at boot. There are 3 of these that come up when you search in the app.
I don't know how to get rid of the Sprint bootup. The last one I purchased had it removed, so it is possible. Someone let me know.

To get ADB working (windows):
Get and install LG USB drivers from here: http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
Get the ADB binary from here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
Unzip it somewhere on your computer you can keep track of.
On your phone, go to Settings and tap on About Phone. Find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
Now enter Developer Options and find USB Debugging. Enable it.
Plug your phone into the computer and change it from “charge only” mode to “file transfer (MTP)” mode.
On your computer, open a CMD prompt (windows key, type cmd, hit enter)
Change directory to the folder you unzipped with the adb binary (CD <folder path>)
enter the following command: adb devices
You will see that the system is starting the ADB daemon. If this is your first time running ADB, you will see a prompt on your phone asking you to authorize a connection with the computer. Grant it.
Now if you re-run the adb devices command, the terminal will print the serial number of your device. If so, then you’re ready to move on.
Enter the following command: adb shell
Now run each of the commands from the post above

I just picked up a "renewed" unlocked G8 thinq (Model LM-G820UM) on Amazon for a pretty good price. I'm using it on ATT prepaid, but its got a Sprint logo on startup. It also complained about network activation at every startup, but otherwise worked fine.
Combined with the fine work of rldev, here's a guide to remove the bloatware and ditch that activation message. It will still say sprint on bootup/shutdown, but other than that, no way I can tell its a sprint phone.

Will the device be able to receive software updates after this?

Yep. Just got one today actually.

Hi. thanks for the info and the procedure. all went fine on my LG V50 thinq from Sprint (LM-V450PM). some interesting data is that I could get rid of the Sprint bootup performing a hard reset with the key convination before turning the phone on. I could not say if the device will be able to receive software updates after all these procedures because I already had it updated before to android 10. now the phone seems to be running a clean official rom. hope to hear about some root news for this device.

i am stumped at #9. was the next step" CD<path address>?" because that did not work.
then i tried to skip it to enter abd devices in cmd and that didn't work either.
could someone please answer if it's not too much trouble?

Hi, mate!
The Sprint boot up animation is still present after following the procedure. by the way, 2 commands (somewhere in the middle of the list) read "failure (not installed for 0). what does this mean?
i truly appreciate your work, mate.

Hi mate. So my LG G8X can still receive update, right? Although the LG software update is already gone from the update center section?

replace <path address> with (if you simply downloaded it and unzipped it) example: Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools so it'll be "cd Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows\platform-tools"

Do you think this process will allow WiFi calling to work on T-Mobile?

It worked perfectly but i would like to install stock rom for this device without bloatware and that one that does not have to do these steps every time I reset the phone. Can somebody help me to find that rom 'cause i found a lot of regions and i don't know wich one is the one i need.

when doing this process is there a risk of brick? It is the first time that I will try

modding anything theres always a risk but if it bootloops you might just have to go to recovery and do a hard rest

Hello can you assist me

Disabling Sprint Activation for non-Sprint Networks (on Mac)
1) Enable Developer options on G8X ThinQ.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software info and then tap Build number a few times to enable Developer Mode. Accept warning. In the now available "Developer Options" settings, enable USB debugging.
2) Connect the phone to Mac through USB. No additional drivers need to be installed.
2) Following these instructions to install adb and issue commands on Mac
Install and Use ADB and Fastboot on Mac [How to]
If you want to use ADB commands in Mac terminal, you'll have to download and install ADB and Fastboot on Mac or you'll get 'not found' error.
technastic.com
I placed the unzipped platform tools in the Application folder.
3) list potentially unneeded Sprint packages to uninstall.
./adb shell pm list packages | grep sprint
For all packages:
./adb shell pm list packages
3) Check for the existence of com.lge.lgdmsclientspr, the service which initiates the Sprint activation at boot.
./adb shell pm list packages -f com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
or without -f
./adb shell pm list packages com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
4) Uninstall/Disable com.lge.lgdmsclientspr package
Uninstall
./adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Reinstall later
./adb shell pm install-existing com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Alternatively,
Disable
./adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
Enable
./adb shell pm enable com.lge.lgdmsclientspr
5) Confirm packages enabled or disabled
List all enabled apps filtered by "sprint":
./adb shell pm list packages -e | grep sprint
List all disabled apps
./adb shell pm list packages -d
6) Reboot the device by ADB command
./adb reboot
In Windows, the adb shell command is started as follows:
Windows Command Prompt: adb shell pm list packages -d
Windows PowerShell: .\adb

question 1: is it recommended to remove the (active european) sim card before injecting those commands or does it not affect the system change anyway?
question 2: although my refurbed G8 from California works with a german sim card, it seems the phone itself still has a country lock, due to not accepting european LG Smartworld login. It only offers login possibility via US, Canadian and Mexican LG accounts. Will this restriction be overridden after the here mentioned debrand codes initiation?
