Hi guys,

This issue has undoubtedly been asked before but can anyone confirm a 100% successful rooting of the kindle fire from outside the states (and how did u do it/guide please)?

Preliminary searching on google for rooting the fire seems to suggest its plagued with difficulty issues/bricking etc if yer outside US Soil. I won my kindle fire and so far my wife has been using it simply as an ereader, but we can't access any of the services or download and install a single app (due to not having a credit card with a USA Address). I'm guessing this is why non usa ppl are having issues, is their an app we need to install on the device to successfully root it? It's a pretty useless tablet at the moment for us, but when I do get to steal it away from my wife (for half an hour) i want to hand it back rooted, with android market (google play?) so we can turn this thing into a more useful device.

I absolutely cannot hand it back to her bricked lol.

So please, if yer from the states this questions is unlikely for you as its doubtful u have encountered the issues us international users have.

Like i said above I can't really find in google any 'international' root guide, the videos/instructions are clearly from a 'within USA' procedure and then when you look at the comments plenty of people are getting stuck at 'part x' with no sign of help or assistance.

FYI i reside in Australia.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if you root it that has nothing to do with your location

for rooting refer to this:

btw. im not in the us also
[Kindle Fire General] dunker56:
cheers for that, will look into it. Just wanted to make sure. How come typing in google such things as 'kindle fire root international" or "worldwide" etc doesn't show this thread :S
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
would think because rooting has noting to do with international or worldwide

btw. every information i ever needed is here at xda - most articles out there refer to here - if there are some interesting articles outside they are usually linked here also - and the search function of xda is great !

Just follow the instruction at the following thread to root KF any where:

After rooting, you can install Google apps and download applications from any where.

[HTC EVO 3D] LamarW89:
If you are using Evo 3D hboot 1.5 download Flash Image GUI from the market (99cents) or find the apk for free. Must be rooted using HTC Dev unlock Method n have a custom recovery. Either cwm or trwp im using twrp 2.0. Once you have it simply follow these steps:

1. Click on the Flash Image GUI app

2. Click browse n find the rom you are trying to flash.

3. Flash the rom n then click "REBOOT RECOVERY" n it should boot into recovery

4. Wipe factory data (ONLY)

5. Find that exact rom you just flashed b4 rebooting into recovery n flashed it again.

6. Once installed reboot system n you is all set with no bootloops.

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
First, definitely appreciate the support!

I'm always looking for ways to improve Flash Image GUI.

I'm not sure what extra steps you're providing which aren't provided in the OP? Can you help me understand what needs to be adjusted to improve clarify?

If enough people find your video helpful, I'd be happy to link it up in the OP for Flash Image GUI on the EVO 3D. Appreciate the support!

Quoted from the OP of Flash Image GUI EVO 3D thread regarding procedures:
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
You may want to mention that you have to be htc-unlocked and have a custom cwm recovery image of some kind in place first.
[HTC EVO 3D] maxpower12:
I tried flashing MeanROM ICS V0.4 using this app but the phone is in a bootloop. mikeyxda says I should use 4ext Touch Recovery but that costs $3 and I already paid $1 for Flash Image GUI.

I flashed MeanROM 3.92 using FI GUI without any problems so I'm not sure if I have to buy the 4ext app or if I'm doing something wrong or if I have to go to the MeanROM ICS thread for help. I'm thinking they'll probably tell me to use 4ext Touch Recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Definitely use 4ext, its phenomenal and will walk you through setting the recovery up for smart flash (for 1.5 hboot users)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] sparky147:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acemodder:
Hi guys

I have a Galaxy S2 is has develeped a fault where the IMEI data is no longer on the phone, thus causing the phone to not be able to load any sim card. This occured when my battery ran completely out of charge and when I recharged it, and turned it on my sim was not working.

I tried a few things, none worked. But typing *#06# brings up a box with IMEI as the title but no number in the box.

Also typing in *#1234#

The phone should display this

PDA: i9100XWKI4

PHONE: I9100XXKI1

CSC:I9100CPWKH1

Build info: Wed Sep 14 20:34:11 KST 2011

But mine displays this.

PDA: i9100XWKI4

PHONE: unknown

CSC:I9100CPWKH1

Build info: Wed Sep 14 20:34:11 KST 2011

My phone has never been rooted and no custom ROMs have been installed. It is fully stock.

I logged a repair request with Samsung and sent it off for repair, however their repair agent have refused to repair due to warranty being invalid due to apparent moisture in the external port of the USB port on the phone. They sent me a blurry image which proves nothing. (I cannot link as im need 8 posts in order to link the image).

The repair agent wants £54 for a new port and then they will reinstate my warranty and repair the data corruption for "FREE". Well I'm rather annoyed about this as the repair agent have confirmed that the fault has not occured due to moisture in the port. I am not willing to pay the repair and they have returned the phone to me. MY 24 month contact is up this summer so I dont want to pay £54 for the FREE repair.

From what I understand the phone has had it's EFS file corrupt, thus causing the ID of the phone to be "gone". Is there any way in which I can get this repaired myself? Either with software of some other means?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acemodder:
My issue is that I cannot get the market place working, so the osftware I need cannot be installed, I factory reset my phone prior to sending it back to Smaunsgs repair agent.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stepinmyworld:
Hey,

I didn't feel like going through the trouble of buying the Motorola factory charger or whatever you need to charge the phone when it said *battery low* *cannot program* when trying to use the RSD program (might have spelled it wrong) to restore to factory settings. My battery must have been low and in the middle of the restore, it stopped and now Im unable to get to either recovery or charge it.

I had insurance luckily so I just got my galaxy nexus back and should be to me tomorrow. Do yall think someone will buy this phone like that? i have 2 nandroid backups on there so it's probably not safe to sale with that stuff accessible.. smh.. that's why i liked the samsung galaxy s and galaxy s 2 devices because you can use Odin which makes the phones virtually unbrickable. The phone's in PERFECT condition. Would be nice if there was a way around that man
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joel_sinbad:
how much? just curiosity...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
That's why its always recommened to have full charge when rooting or installing custom rom. I hope someone here in the forum can help you solve this issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
you can make one looks like here:

if you want to give it a go, will cost you a $3 cable if you mess it up, and will gain you a $300 phone if you do it right.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stepinmyworld:
I realized i can't sale it because I have nandroid backups within the phone and they'll still be there i think...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stepinmyworld:
Yeah but you know when you're a frequent flasher and are sure it only takes about 10 percent batter at the most, you don't charge it to the max but I just made a boo boo by not reading the part that said *You must be running a the rom already before flashing the update portion*.. that caused the bootloop..

Thanks a lot though. You're right
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stepinmyworld:
imma try to get these tools.. i definitely have some spare USB cables in my room.. just getting the phone open and stuff is the issue. Not that tech savy lol

You don't need to open your phone

You can recover it. I've done it twice
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vel0city:
If you check out my post it shows you a alternative and easier way charge your phone again and make it back to stock rom and no root. Then you can sell your phone for a better price or just keep it! :)

[EVO 4G Accessories] Warrior 3000:
so im looking for an evo arm band that i can use while i run. i found a few on amazon but the reviews for them are 50/50. Any one have any experiences with them? what one is the best?
[EVO 4G Accessories] amiblindyet:
depends how picky you want to be. i bought the LIVEstrong arm band, for i think the iphone, at radio shack and i had to drop an elbow on the phone to get it to go in but after that it's pretty sweet. comfortable, flexible, breathable and a hole for your headphones. that's all i wanted. ya mean?
[EVO 4G Accessories] AzRaell333:
I tried one for the iphone 4. They are WAY to small. You can get it in there and the hole for earplugs align, but its to hard to get in and out. Not worth it
[EVO 4G Accessories] Incitatus4:
I just put it in my back pocket, works like a charm. I don't think I've ever run across an arm-band that was big enough to holster this beast.
[EVO 4G Accessories] upsstart:
with more and more giant beastly phones coming out there has to be something! I found a decent sized one that fits my evo but the hole doesnt align for the headphones... its really annoying... i guess i could cut one into the right size...

Best Buy Generic Android Arm Band

I looked online, but didn't fine many options, so I went to local best buy and found a generic HTC Android arm band that has been great. I was roughly $20 and is good quality. I have the extended battery (3500mAH SEDIO) and it works like a charm. Use it when lifting, running, and elliptical and it stays put. Definitely recommend.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigbear6708:
I went to wal mart and got a Phillips one, made for the Iphone, but it is sort of a nylon/stretchy type material, my evo fits in it great, plus the holder is thin enough you can "sort of" see through it when screen is on..I set up swype guestures w/ cm7 on the lock screen and can register my "next track" guesture through it...works good enough!
[EVO 4G Accessories] iamdropc:
I like this one

I bought this one a while back. Fits like a glove. I tried a similar Nike strap and the EVO didn't fit and the strap was too short to go around my arm. I don't have big arms. I just think the Nike was made for a girl maybe. Anyway, here is the Amazon "link".

I'm on my second arm band, and still no luck finding the right one. Anyone know if HTC sold OFFICIAL arm bands for the EVO?
[EVO 4G Accessories] PTheDevil:
I usually ride with my Camelbak.. there is a pouch in it that fits my phone just fine.. I find these sony earbuds that I got from radio shack has a long enough cord and there is no binding..

Although I have herd of some people using iPhone buds and are able to control functions like Track up or down and volume..

any thoughts?

Its probably the same one I just got. I train for 5k & 10k races. Best thing I ever had.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Swooperz:
I searched for an armband for both my Evo and iPhones in the past and found that the better solution for me was a holster case for it that holds it horizontally (landscape) on my hip. It works with shorts, sweatpants, or whatever as long as the waste band is somewhat tight or has a drawstring.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] loki993:
Ok I have a D1 and nothing displays on the screen. What happens when you turn it on is you can see the backlight come on but no display on. The phone plays the droid sound and seems to be booting and working, I think they actually took a call on it even, so even though you dont see anything its not showing. I tried to get the bootloader up, but couldn't. Im not sure Im hitting the right button combinations though.

Is the phone done or can it be recovered? I was thinking a maybe it got corrupted or something and just SBF it, but I cant even get recovery up.

Its not a huge deal if it cant be, its just a spare phone, but if I could get it back it would be nice.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mcflyrk01:
i believe if you hold D-pad up and camera then power on the phone you should boot into the bootloader. if you can still receive calls though it sounds like the connection to your display could be busted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
I've been using MX Video Player ever since I got the note and I love it. Been playing mkv animes ever since I got it.

I've been using this app and taking advantage of HW acceleration ever since with no issues.

However, I stumbled to some .mkv animes not playing right. You see that the top screen (horizontal top thin line) is displaying some glitched colors and the bottom part are all black. But you hear the video playing .. and at the same time, subtitles are displayed below the video.

So I figure that it could be a Codec issue.

I then researched the market and found out a lot of codecs available for Mx video player like codec NEON, ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv8.

But I don't know what ARM version our Gnote Snapdragon processor have

Anybody knows?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Hrmmm. ..i have not run into anything it could not play.

Can you use mediainfo by sourceforge to determine what the code details of the file are
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Yeah .. me too it was the 1st time for me. I failed to mention that when I switch to SW decoder the video plays, as i can see everything... but of course there is a bad lag.. that is why i thought it was a decoder issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StaticMatt:
As far as I know, if your phone needs any of the additional codecs, MX will let you know which you need.

If you use the Screenshot-Mod you have to change "Download-Modus" to "Screenshot" in /res/values-de/strings.xml.

I think reneph made the translations for the german community once.

So I corrected some .9.png's fautly stretching.

Problem is the framework.apk, located in my edited CWM files.

It's easily possible to get it working tough: just use the original framework-res.apk from RavoxX's theme.

You'll loose some colours... so I'll release another version soon ;)

Is anyone interested in different coloured ICS styles based on RavoxX's ICS theme? I made an orange one so far. Just shout and I'll add another 4 to 5 colours or so
