Help diagnosing bugs - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had some persistent issues with aftv that go back a long way. I won't go into details because the post will run really long. However, if anyone asks I can share. They don't seem to involve xbmc but the aftv itself. I've done 2 resets via CWM.
Recently I read another post talking about adb logcat. But playstore has nothing by that exact name. Are they all the same? Itd be great to get a log but I'm not confident it'll help with just my eyes. Can someone reccomend a good place to share? This is the first time so I'm curious about any formalities like--when and where to post it, etc.
Thanks a lot. Id like to get this unit running like it's supposed to. It'll run great but needs excessive reboots to fix glitches with sound cutting in and out and Netflix not working if I go from xbmc to there without a reboot.

No one can assist? Maybe my post was longer than necessary... can someone please just reccomend a good debug tool for aftv? I'll work out the rest myself. Of course any and all info is welcomed & appreciated.

[q] How to debug random reboots when logcat shows nothing obvious.

This MT3GS is running the latest Cyanogenmod and google apps and hasn't been overclocked, yet it randomly reboots from time to time. I installed logcat but the last entries before reboot aren't consistant or yield any clues to what's going on. Where does one go from here? Is there a debug method that will show me what happened right after that last line recorded (using catlog set to record once a line)?
This is highly frustrating. :/
I tried resetting the phone, deleting the system partition, and reinstalling Cyanogenmod, but its still happening.
Any help in knowing what to look for next would be appreciated.
Second that
Installed ICS Revloution on my HTC Sensation XE and although it worked well, I got frequent random reboots.
I then changed to Insert Coin ICS latest version, and same performance but also same issue.
I cannot ask in the actual ROM thread as I don't have 10 posts as yet, so decided to do as much homework as I could.
Can't see anything obvious in Logcat either.
Well I tried a different ROM and it still did it and still doesn't show **** on logcat... and this time I followed it through ADB connecting to my laptop.
Is this the sign of a dying device? Is this situation so abnormal that there is nothing else that can be investigated?
I feel pretty bad because I handed this phone down to my wife as her first Android device and then is driving her up the wall. I guess it did it when I used it but maybe I just didn't notice it all that much to care.
I've tried posting in many forums... I wonder if I should try an actual google forum?
Use UART. You will need to figure out how to do it on your own. This will show you the problem unless its hardware damage.

Darn, sounds like a dead end for me. I did a google for UART and android and came to the conclusion its waaay over my head. It looks like UART is just a serial communications standard?

Yep. And you can use a tool like The Bus Pirate to communicate. It costs $35 for a bus pirate.

[Q] NEED HELP!!! apache has ruined me

I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you
are you asking for help with the phone or your pc?

My phone is the only thing I can use... I have to install Windows again on my lap top... I have a new disc and what not. I'm just worried that he'll just take that over as well.. so phone, but I could use some tips in how to do it for the pc as well and if I'll ever be able to get my email. With my last ten years if web activity, Xbox one and everything else I had.... So pissed
for the phone, i recommend an ruu. in case that bug is somewhere on the phone waiting for another PC victim. It sucks that you will lose everything but its hard to figure out what file is infected and if you restore any file after format you run the chance of it happening again
as for the pc. if you can reboot to safe mode you can use a tool called Combofix. it will sometimes fix problems due to worms or viruses. I've used it many of times i cant fix it manually.

Someone please help!!!

I deleted some texts from my phone by accident and it is of great importance for me to retrieve them. I've heard the way that Samsung phones work is that even though the texts are deleted, they are stored on the phone in a dormant memory and are only "recorded" over once the phone runs out of other free memory. My phone is no where near that threshold of running out of memory, so I know they are still there. So I tried to root the phone myself using some site I think was called (Kong or konga or something like that) and it did not work. Does anyone out there know how to help me? I really really need those messages back.
Thank you.

If you need to Root (and Root alone won't help you) then follow my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
response..
I know rooting alone won't help me, but its a starting point. And I paid for some software that should work if the phone is properly rooted.... However, if you have another way to retrieve those messages, I'm all ears! Any help is greatly appreciated, trust me. Lets put it this way... If someone can help me get these messages back, I'd have no problem sending them a gift as a thank you. (thats how important this is to me)

Did you try the application that I linked in the first line? You install on your PC and plug in your phone. There is a free-to-try version so that you can test without risk.
Post back here what happens.
This is so frustrating.
So this is the app I tried first before I even came to this forum. I even paid for the full version and it won't work. I could be a complete idiot, but I literally tried it for 3 hours one night, and then another 3 hours on another night. I'm literally having ZERO luck when it comes to this issue. I did this program, it tells me it failed to root the phone. Then I download another program to root the phone and then that program tells me that "root failed". So I feel like I'm f'ed no matter what I do. Advice???

help needed

well i had a nexus 7 (2013) laying around and decided i want to put it into my car for a few different reasons. well after pulling all my hair out and using every curse word known to man i finally figured out how to root it. now for 2 weeks ive been reading forums, watching youtube vids, and google searching like crazy. trying to figure out what kernel to use for it, and how to set up tasker. at this point i'm so lost i almost walked away from it........only reason i'm still entertaining the idea is so i can store different tunes on it for my car.
so now that i have that out of the way, i am willing to pay (thats how frustrated i am) for someone to log into my laptop thru teamviewer and do it for me lol. if this is frowned upon i apologize now, i just don't know what to do at this point.

you dont need to root it to put it in your car you know
Yes. You need to root it.
If you're dedicating it to the car use Timur's kernel, It's free now since it's not being supported anymore, but then again neither is the tablet.
Tasker is extremely daunting, Try Automate instead. It's still incredibly powerful but uses blocks that makes programming so much easier. And you can find many flows, what Automate calls it's "programs", through the community to get you going, learn from, or pick apart.
Keep in mind Timur's has a separate kernel for wifi and lte.
Timur's: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939830775
Automate: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate
Oh, and just go straight to CarWebGuru Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=CarWebGuru+Launcher&c=apps
i appreciate the response, i am having tons of issues. i can't figure out how to get timur installed. tried quite a few times with no luck. i was able to get elemental x installed but thats it. it doesn't do what i need for the permanent install though. starting to lose faith lol

It's the same exact process. You download timur's mod and flash the services and usb-host through twrp.
Flashing is the easiest part of this process. it can be frustrating at times but once you figure it out and get it done you'll be proud.
Trust me, it took a year for me to get my power issues sorted out. You can do it.
Actually not the same, I installed ex kernel manager and it installed it for me. I downloaded Timur from the link posted above . Tried numerous times to install and no luck

Is the link you posted for the WiFi kernel ? If not that's what I need
I haven't downloaded from that links since I have the files from when I donated. It says flo-deb so I'm assuming it has both.
well i think i'm done. about to throw this thing in the trash

Not working Network Proxy in Fire Stick

Good morning,
For several days now, I am not able to add a proxy on my Fire TV device. I am following the official guide, but when I hit the save button the window closes and the settings are not saved. I have also tried AndroidProxySetter but it doesn't save either.
Has this happened to anyone else, do you know how to fix this?
Thanks! Regards.
Have you seen any fix to this? I know not here, but perhaps elsewhere… Previous to FireOS 6.2.9.0, I didn’t have problems, but now the same thing as you describe happens to me.
Try this. It worked for me.
Use this .apk AndroidProxySetter. Install and follow the commands. It will route Network traffic to Charles proxy.
