It's not working, I cannot find any other guide on the internet for this new block so I'll wait for someone to figure it out before doing something wrong with my phone

Noob mistake

Okay, so i was playing around with the Google Now, to get it working on my device (running icecoldsandwich) and i might accidently have changed the permissions on the system folder, and now my device is stuck in a bootloop. I don't really know what to do know, i have been trying to access ADB in the bootloader so i can change the permissions from my computer, but i can't seem to get it to work. If anyone could help me i would be very grateful.
Cheers!

Flash the ROM again in cwm
Don't wipe only change
Sorry for me bad English
Do i keep my settings and apps if i do that?

You must flash the ROM without any wipes, then all apps and data will be saved
Thank's both of you
You can also try to fix permissions (option in the recovery) to avoid having to reflash your rom.
But as said, yes, reflashing the rom without wiping should do the trick.
If still the problem prevails then do a full wipe and try to flash the ROM in cwm

[Q] Baseband Version Uknown after update

Hi,
I ran the Bootloader update via recovery for boot_CWM_I747UCUEMJB.zip version. Now after reboot, cache wipe, dalvik format, user data format, I still have Baseband Version as Unknown. Like I said, I tried to format everything but I am still not getting service. I am hoping for some assistance. I tried searching all over here and google and I can't seem to find the right answer.
Thanks!

Recovery Problem

I have a problem when reverting back from Sultans virtual partition. As I was reverting back and installed a new update of twrp, there are no partitions for me to wipe when i was going to put a new rom. Ive been trying to fix this for weeks now and seem not find a solution. Ive done allot of research, but can find an answer. This thread is my last resort.
I can still access twrp, but i get this errors from the log.

I use Clockwork Mod, as I see it I'd go to formatting my sdcard0, but I'm not sure how TWP handles it.
Sorry, it's all I got, hope you can fix your problem.

advisable to use the latest recovery to prevent problems and more compatibility roms.

Try factory reset or flashing clean factory image. Or just ignore it

I already did a hard reset, install pure nexus, install 7.1.1 clean and 6.0.1 clean with Nexus Root Toolkit and still not appear all the space, you think that if I ignore I can use more storage than it appears?

probably not, but, it just sounds like the partition is oversized. Not sure how to fix it.
So either install factory image from Google (it makes partitions again AFAIK) or wipe everything in recovery and clean install.
Maybe flashing TOT file will help?

Use the guide to install a .tot ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-to-unbrick-t3251740 ) but that only achieves that it is in the logo of google, after all the night I get it to go back again but still it continues with the same problem of the size that has the system partition u.u some other idea? I do not know how to do resize with TWRP if someone can pass me a guide or teach me thank you

Fire TV 4k not possible to set up

Hello,
i've had this issue with the stock firmware so i thought installing twrp with a prerooted image should do it, but the same issue appears. After the language and network setup, the update (searching for an update) goes wrong. I've got another 2 4k's here and they work, so it's not network related.
Installing twrp and the rooted image was quite easy, nice to see twrp running on these devices.
But does a lineage or another custom rom for the 4k actually exist? I think with a clean rom the error would be gone.
I don't know how to make lineage for this device, i. just know how to install it
I've attached an image, maybe someone has an idea.

A Lineage OS rom is still under development and not released yet. Have you tried flashing the stock image (6.2.7.1)? Flash this in recovery, to see if it fixes the update error. You may need to flash Magisk to be rooted again. And this stock image WILL NOT overwrite TWRP. The prerooted roms that are released have Magisk built in so there's nothing different between those and the stock image in which has no root at all. Let me know if you have any questions!

From what I have seen, the tutorial for flashing the prerooted is really a dirty flash, and certainly from my experience (where I forgot to reset the device before flashing the image) all my apps were still there.
I'm sure you can wipe your system & data partition from TWRP, and then flash the image.
The only problem I can foresee is that the pre-rooted image might not be a full image which would cause your Firestick not to boot.
I suggest you head over to the pre-rooted image thread and ask if it's ok to wipe those partitions and also what the actual commands are.
I'm curious also - just for future reference....
p.s I just found this
https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html
which lists TWRP's commands, Just check first to see if it's safe to wipe those partitions.
Okay, i will install it tomorrow. Is there a Source to the lineage Development? The Stick is unusable for me, so i Would install anything to Pass the error.
@tinybilbo
Good question, i didnt Know Either what to do so i Wiped cache and dalvik and data, but That should be considered as a Dirty Flash thought, i will ask there.
@Skel40
What to Wipe before flashing?

I think the system partition would be the important one to wipe, data is mostly user data from what I remember.
If Skel40's link is a full image (as the prerooted one i might be), then maybe do all the wipes and try that one 1st..
Normally when I use TWRP I don't dirty flash, and I wipe system,data,dalvik,cache...
Good luck with whatever you try

You need to wipe system, data, dalvik-cache, and cache before flashing. Upon boot up after flashing 6.2.7.1, it skips the updates, I have a backup if needed!
I wiped all Partitions and Flashed the Image, but it searches for backups and the error appears. Could you send me the Backup? @Skel40

You wiped everything (data, system, internal, cache, dalvik). There is nothing else, if you are flashing the full stock upgrade image. The device finds remote, connects to bluetooth, then finds Wifi, connects to wifi. Then the device errors (when checking for an update). Since you bought this device used, i highly suspect the device is blacklisted. Firestick 4k's are on sale for $25 again. I would cut my loses and hope someday for a custom (you can ask for a copy of the buggy one diegocr and Rortiz2 over in the tank 12.1 thread. But it is likely unusable at this time.
Okay thank you @Michajin
What do you think, would be installing TWRP on one of the others and restoring a backup from them onto the broken one help?

I don't think so. I believe it is sending its serial number to amazon when it connects to the internet. There used to be a work around that would bypass registration, but i believe that was blocked about a year ago. Maybe someone on here knows a work around since you have access with TWRP (file manager), If it were me, i would find the update files in TWRP and rename or delete them... i think they are in the root/system folder. Since you have a full backup i dont see much risk. If it fails to boot or work, just restore your system from a backup.
The files should be called:
device.software.ota
com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

Okay thanks I will see.
BTW: the Stick does not have any value to me anymore, so bricking it would be okay if I learned something this way
But it'd be better if the Stick could be resurrected to work as a Stick.
Maybe anything of this.
