Novalis please lower your voice good sir, no combination of font size and color will make your post on page three visible on page one and if you cannot be bothered to read the full thread before attempting this method, what makes you think others like you will? Yes, this thread is outdated as it was posted 5 days after the launch of the Kindle and, frankly, I'm flattered that Amazon cared enough about my guide to break it. As many others have mentioned, there are several easier, more elegant means to this end.

Having said that, I would be more than happy to assist you with your issue. Please see the guide located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356257

Specifically, you want the section that says:

"IF YOU CHANGED WALLPAPERS/THEME AND BRICKED YOUR DEVICE BY MESSING WITH FRAMEWORK-RES.APK TRY THIS:"

You do not need to buy this guys magic cord though, if what you claim is true and this guide is responsible for his record sales than I think I should be seeing a cut from his profits right??

Assuming you are able to push a valid framework.apk file back onto your kindle which, I have done before to remedy this exact issue, you are now left with a choice. Either:

A. Stop playing with things you do not understand if you cannot accept the consequences.

Or,

B. Please download this tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

and use it to install TWRP Recovery as doing so will allow you back up your ROM and protect against future slip ups.

I genuinely wish you the best of luck with your kindle, I hope you are able to solve this problem and any others you may bring upon yourself in the future as I have done so many times myself but, understand that there is always risk involved, this is just how you learn.

If this does not work feel free to PM me and I will help in any way that I can.

Say what you want but I already made the cord and fixed the KF, but thank you for the offer.

You rock! This worked perfectly, and so simple. I picked a wallpaper and then changed the permissions, restarted and was quite pleased to see my wallpaper on the lockscreen. Thanks a million!!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] picmaker:
Changing permissions did the trick! Even have live wallpapers showing in the lock screen as well! Thank you. Kindle is now perfect!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] jtodaro:
Is there a way to set the wallpaper to not randomly change without modifying this permission settings after you set the wallpaper/theme? This seems like a workaround that should be fixed in the wallpaper/theme chooser more than anything.

Awesome!

Thanks a lot droidpirate! Worked flawlessly.

I just have a question though:

Can we load different themes (wallpapers, lock screen colors, etc) and change them from time to time via MetaMorph without trouble?

Sorry I can't post screenshot, not allowed yet (Fist post ;) )

Thanks Josepho for that one, it looks great!

please visit the below url for the image... remove the spaces. Stupid 10 post restriction.

Just curious..... I have the latest JDK installed....

Check out the bottom of the log, it says file not found, but it DOES run the jarsigner... What exactly is it trying to find\copy\remove\run that it can't find the specified file?

Do I have to have the exact Java SDK Version noted in the Multitool?

Thanks

Not sure if this is possible while it's still locked. But if it is possible I'd love to know how. I'd like to eventually be able to image my NT to my main rig, or to a 16 GB micro SD.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] robertely:
Not as of yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ylixir:
it's been rooted and adb works so imaging should be easy. the "dd" command would do the trick I would think.

with the locked bootloader though I'm not sure what it would accomplish. even if you imaged it to an SD card and booted from that my understanding of the boot process is that at some point the boot would just switch over to the internal memory and it would be no different from booting from internal memory
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] d-pabs:
I have recently been getting notices to my Dinc about the update available for my phone. I have rooted my phone running 2.2 and have been very happy with how it works and the functionality I get from it...the only thing I dislike is that I can't do speech to text using my Bluetooth headset and I am able to deal with the poor battery life. If i update to this new 4.08.... will I lose my root control? I use my phone to tether my tablet and don't want to lose that...plus I don't want more bloat on my phone and don't really feel like trying to root my phone again if this update screws things up.

Is there a way I can prevent this update? What about stopping the reminder? Thanks in advance.

So .. After hella long time that I didnt theme I came back themeing and im stuck with stupid tiny problem ...

I'm trying to set up a wallpaper (.PNG) 800X480 as my homescreen wallpaper and it just wont work ...

the Orange square that chooses the wallpaper is tiny :

Like that ^

When choosing a wallpaper not from the gallery but from the Themes apps it works .. ( also 800X480 , PNG )

No idea what to do O_O
[Android Themes] jambamkin:
800 x 480 would be landscape wouldn't it? Both these images are portrait.

Maybe upload the files and we can see if we can set them on our phones.

Sent from my DHD
[Android Themes] melissapugs:
The image you are trying to set via the gallery is not the default size for wallpapers for a 480x800 device - should be 960x800 if you'd like to use the gallery to set your wallpaper for you.

Or...you can use an alternative wallpaper setting app like Super Wall Lite - allows any image to be set as background, from one frame's width (480) to a panorama (the sky's the limit - - - or MultiPicture wallpaper, which allows for an image to be used on each screen independently. Both free on the market and have different transition effects, can help kill wallpaper gradients, etc. :)

Hi guys,

after flashing the starburst rom and over clocking and several tries to calibrate the battery my battery is still draining a mile a minute. I used the battery calibration app....have let the battery fully drain and charge at least 5 times now and I still can't get back my battery life!

I'm thinking the root of the problem, well...when I go to settings than battery use it says the screen is using between 70-80% of the battery...I am assuming that what is sucking the life out of my battery but I have no idea how to fix it. my screen time out is at 30 seconds...brightness is almost as low as it can get. ITS DRIVING ME NUTS

I am assuming I calibrated the battery correctly cause it does not drain at all when the screen is locked.

please, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I am ready to rip my hair out! :mad:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoo york:
I just opened battery calibration app its at 70% 4mv isn't it supposed to be like 4000mv? or is just abbreviated?

In this post i will try to put the latest OTA from Sony's servers, meanwhile they are all encrypted and the decryption is being done in the recovery kernel.

You can pick the right ota for you by looking at build.prop file.

For example if you have the following line:

ro.build.description=nbx03_010-user 3.2.1 THMAS0042 0042.004 release-keys

You need the nbx03_010 XXXX-004 update, where XXXX is the android version.

If you cant afford bricking your device, dont try any of those updates

Full OTA 3.2

nbx03_001 0035-001

nbx03_001 11000-001

nbx03_002 0035-002

Hi,

In the UK if you go to settings/about tablet/system update you will be prompted to download v3.2.1 (release 2)

this will then install and give you Kernel 2.6.36.3 integ-build@build8#1

I did not check if these have changed. other than 3.2.1

Seems ok so far but only checked email and xda.

hi friends,

as far as im concerned - now we've got opportunity to reflash encrypted retail flash files! - or even downgrade?

Before it was impossible - recovery was comparing version from build.prop and canceled update if version in tablet was equal or higher than in flash.

Now all we need is to modify build.prop - with text editor or free app - "build.prop Editor" - and update should go through??

Can you reconfirm the exact process that you followed, what was the condition, and what did you achieve? Because you lost me a bit near the end.

Correct me if I am wrong .. but I understood that the update must be newer then the version in the build.prob ... otherwise you will get a error.

I learned from condi to change first my build.prob to be able to install my original firmware via recovery ...

but what can someone do ... in the case of bootloop ... without manipulated build prob?

Please advice me ...
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
maybe we can only wait for a newer rom to appear in someone else tab, then take the zip from there and try to flash it...
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
I could offer a "signed-nbx03_007-ota-11000.014.zip"

Is the file what I have downloaded today after changing by build.prob (from Germany)

I am not sure ... but I believe it is the 3.2 a and not 3.2.1

With the change in build.prob the OS will update the Tablet in two steps .. first 3.2 and then 3.2.1 ... it was the same case after I bought the Tablet in January ...

Now I will try to change only last digit in build.prob and hope to get a 3.2.1 offered from update server. I will keep you informed.

-- edit --

I am right ... :D

Now I could download "signed-nbx03_007-ota-0042.014.zip"

But do not ask me which file is the newer one :o

11000 -> 181,03 MB

0042 -> 179,67 MB

But my current ro.build.id is -> THMAS0042

So I would guess 0042 -> 3.2.1

just figured out how to change region - and flash other region flash updates!

/configs/region.zip

inside we've got:

region.prop - ro.sony.sku.detailed, ro.sony.sku.version values etc.

region_config.ini - [VERSION] value

+ lower version in build.prop - and viola - reflash other updates :)

it would be great for users, who cant root their devices (italy etc),

but without root = /configs/region.zip = read-only file system..

If we could decrypt update zips, then we could try to do something..

I tried to XOR update files, similar thing - acer iconia update.zips were 'encrypted', but couldnt find the pattern. Most propably its not XORed.

I've also compared few encrypted sony update.zips - all of them have the same header in hex:

64 87 06 10 99 D6 CD 9F 7D E4 74 9A 93 B4 D4 AD ED 97 02 3E 0D 0A 7D 96 EA FE

77 E9

When you'll check normal unencrypted update.zip you will see that the same-lenght header is being repeated, the same for our unencrypted zip,:

50 4B 03 04 14 00 08 00 08 00 37 94 5C 38 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00 00

This is how we could try to decrypt files, find the pattern, the key to decrypt update zips. Anyone got some idea?

I was affraid you were gonna say that...lol... As for CWM, I can boot into it using an update.zip, but can't do anything else. I'm having issues with the mounts (cannot mount any partition). For the init.d support, that is where your tweaks for smoothness, responsiveness, battery life, overclocking, etc. come into play.

If you want to take a look at some really good init.d tweaks for an SGS4G, click the Lightning Zap v4 VB Tweaks in my signature. Just don't try to install them as one of them will brick your device...lol...

Hi, try to update with any wrong-region update,then wait 2-3min and semi-working adb will be enabled. Then adb pull files from /tmp or /cache (dont remember which exactly one) and from recovery log file give me your region sku value. I will try to get proper file for you.
[Sony Tablet S] thomas.raines:
No, that didn't work either...
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
What didn't work? ADB will be available in recovery after 2-3min, give me SKU from log, and I should give you file for your region.

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
adb pull /tmp/region.prop

Just pull this out after failed-update.

I'll try again... Adb kept saying could not find device... But i dint think i waited a full 2 minutes... I'll wait 5 minutes this time and see...
