This displeases me. Well DroidWall it is then. Thanks for the update. I will let it come through once I know there is a custom recovery (root) solution. Until then I blocked most of Amazon's services.
[Kindle Fire General] jcase:
I will be updating with a new exploit within the week. I have had a second one in the waiting for a while, I just need to package it properly.

[Kindle Fire General] jcase:
For the time being, to keep root on "stock" without firefirefire/recovery

echo "service.root.amazon.allow=1" > /data/local.prop

then update, you will still be allowed to use "adb root" after the update

Edit 6.3 rooted without need of a new exploit -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
So funny, figures. I just rooted yesterday.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
As far as I know, nobody has figured out exactly what to block in droidwall to prevent the updates. I am using whitelist mode, and just tried to enable the minimum that I know I need. I may well be allowing something I shouldn't be.

I even disabled the status bar's internet access, so that I always get the 'x' by my wifi signal meter, but it still works :-)
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
So just to clarify... if we don't have 6.3 yet, we can do the first method, and then use adb in root mode after the update to put back su and superuser and whatever else we need? (I'd rather do that than the fun new process as it seems a lot simpler).
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i survived 6.2.1 & 6.2.2 ota with this method:

since i don't have mine with me atm anyone to verify for 6.3 and report back ?
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
What exactly can I expect after the update?

I'm new to this , just Rooted my KF a week or so ago.

I have everything working JUST the way I want it. I've installed the GO Launcher, several apps that were NOT available through Amazon APP store, and several other other things like non-random wallpaper... etc... I also installed TWRP 2.0 - .

Will all this go away, and I'll be back at square one, all my apps gone - or not working?

GMAIL

TouchDown for Exchange

and many others?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
fff, twrp and root will be gone - your apps should stay if they are not system apps (in /system/app) or require root (they should stay also but not functioning)
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
What about swype?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
don't know - i don't use swype

is it a system app or needs root ? - if yes then it will not work anymore ...
[Kindle Fire General] mrdeli:
I am new to this too, just rooted and installed twrp, google play on monday -.- .

Is there something i can do to be prepared for getting the new update?

So i will be able to get root, twrp and google play again without having too much trouble.. .

[edit]Ok, in another Thread "eldarerathis" is writing that he is uploading a prerooted 6.3. If i disable my wifi and wait until his rom is downloadable and then i install it, i only have to reinstall all apps including google play!?[/edit]
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
will I be able to just plug it back into my PC using ADB driver and the Kindle Fire Utility that I originally used and re-root it the same way, and install TWRP 2.0 -- just selecting from the menu again? or do I have to wait for something new specific to 6.3 to re-root?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
you will have to do a little footwork:

Back Again

Hi ppl, i want to thanks jcase and pokey9000.

All i need to do was what jcase say on post #22.

Back again on root mode only lost the bootanimation of Galaxy Nexus but i will put again asap.

Thanks ppl of XDA, you Rule ;)
[Kindle Fire General] sasquatch080:
B63, in your thread someone posted that cm7 roms block OTA updates? Did I misunderstand? I don't have my kindle with me atm but have an idea. Few days ago my Droid charge received a OTA update notification, and we were able to ignore successfully by changing or build.prop on our custom roms. All old firmware was replaced with new one. Example: where it says 6.22, replace with 6.3. Maybe dumb idea, but I will try later when I get home.
[Kindle Fire General] RICHARDWRITE:
Why didn't I lose root?

I used this link to get the 6.3 update:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1567908

And now I'm trying to figure out why I apparently did NOT lose root. I will concede, however, the possibility that I'm looking at the wrong evidence as to whether I still have root. But this much I know:

* I still have access to the Play Store and other Google apps.

* My Swype keyboard is still intact.

* My resolution is still set at 190 via LCD Resolution app.

* My Fire did not revert back to the Fire default wallpapers, leaving my live wallpaper intact.

If this is not evidence that my root is still intact....it is nonetheless certainly good enough for me.
[Kindle Fire General] sasquatch080:
Sorry cannot trust a first time poster.
[Kindle Fire General] copperthumb:
This is what I am doing to block the 6.3 update:

To stop Amazon from silent OTA updates, go to system/app/OTAsilentInstall.apk and add .bak to the end of the file name with the R/O option on.
[Kindle Fire General] RICHARDWRITE:
I wouldn't expect you to trust me. Personally, I don't trust you either.
[Kindle Fire General] sasquatch080:
Lol fair enough! Sorry just a lil jumpy with the OTA probably pushing itself into my kindle at home. No offense.
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
I bit the bullet too and finally installed firefire and cwm recovery using the gscript app. So easy, between that and the Kindle Fire Utility, rooting has been a breeze. Nothing like rooting my phone which took so much careful typing of adb commands. In a way, it worries me it was too easy. I even had a factory cable ready in case things went wrong. So many people in here come posting of bricked devices. Thanks Kindle community.

And then installed the 6.3 rooted stock rom.

So happy, everything went great. Stock rom is great, no regrets.
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
OK... then a restore?

Ok, after I do that, I assume I would then have a Kindle 6.3 rooted - system?

could I then restore all my apps and app settings and data with a Titanium Restore - with an "all user apps" restore? and I would be back to where I was only with an updated system OS?
[Kindle Fire General] Kranix:
I used the same method. So far no 6.3 update for me but my wife's and sons both updated. They were not rooted.
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
otacerts.zip renamed

I've done the same ... see what happens, I'm hoping the bak file doesn't need to be renamed or deleted?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
at the kf you don't get a notification - changing in build.prop don't help on the kf

it is confirmed multiple times that this method don't work

yes you have a rooted 6.3

and it should be as it was - you should be able to restore deleted system apps with titanium

could confirm it on my kf today - like in my thread -> downloaded but did not install - the third ota i survived with this method (6.2.1/6.2.2/6.3)

it has to be deleted - renaming don't work
[Kindle Fire General] aharong:
Hi,

Since I don't have enough posts to ask question in development thread I will ask it here.

I had 6.22 with root and working Google Play. Yesterday it was silent updated to 6.3. I have rooted device again without any problem but I have a problem with market now. I cannot install googleservicesframework.apk. Tried different versions but installation always ended with "Not installed". Tried to put it to /system/app but framework is not running after reboot. I have looked to log (using "adb logcat") and seen the following error:

"Package com.google.android.gsf has no signatures that match those in shared user com.google.uid.shared".

I tried to remove com.google.uid.shared from /data/system/packages.xml but this is not help.

My question: is it something that can be done before reset to factory default?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
first i would try:

if this don't work would try to install this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20240542&postcount=8

it's a older version - it should update to google play again
[Kindle Fire General] aharong:
Hi b63,

Thank you for reply.

I have tried both thing already - without any success.
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
I got the 6.3 update and it deleted some if my apps and even moved some to the sd card. What is this? But I do like silk reading and the keyboard is cool because it doesn't have a missing voice search button.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
hmm no more ideas besides factory reset ...
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
What is the reading view like, how do you access it on the browser?

I am on the stock rom and I can't really find anything about it.
[Kindle Fire General] idk:
It already does? I've had this since version since 6.1

Settings Options on Kindle Fire

To access the Settings option, tap Apps from the Kindle Fire Home screen and select Store. Tap the Menu icon and select Settings to access these options:

In-App Purchasing: In-app purchasing, which lets you purchase items such as new game levels, in-game currency, and subscriptions from certain apps and games, is enabled by default. You can use this setting to disable all in-app purchasing on your device. If you have multiple devices, you should configure this setting on each device for which you'd like to disable in-app purchasing.
[Kindle Fire General] twa_priv:
This is In-App purchasing - I think TechJunkie198 was referring having put in a code when purchasing apps (like Google Play/Market).
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
Well instead of deleteing I moved them to another location in a folder under /sdcard.

I'm glad I did. I went to open an email, that I just got on Touchdown for Exchange, And I got an error saying an error occurred an that I need to go to the app store and install the application again.

I put both files back and the application is working properly again. I don't know why that would have anything to do with Touchdown for Exchange - but moving those files broke it!
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
what means them and those ? it's only one file -> /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip

the second one must stay in place
[Kindle Fire General] toe-rag:
Ok... let me try that....

Update. So far so good, Touchdown working fine...
[Kindle Fire General] idk:
Ahh ok, got it. The one click settings. If you complain to Amazon, you can actually get a refund on the apps. I've done that a couple of times on the free app after midnight that didn't update to the paid price until after you bought it. Still a hassle though.
[Kindle Fire General] powerpoint45:
Hmmm

So can I reroot it the normal way. Is their a way to fix the market. Will everything work such as twrp still.
[Kindle Fire General] swieder711:
This explains my problem. I wish that I had blocked the update.
[Kindle Fire General] powerpoint45:
new root meathod

So does anyone know the new root meathod.I hate amazon...what jerks
[Kindle Fire General] swieder711:
What apps are you blocking to prevent the KF from getting updates?
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
I'm using the droidwall method and have yet to get the update. Not sure if I'm blocking the right stuff or if it's just coincidence.

I'm using the whitelist method and only allowing:

- 3rd party apps that I obviously need to have internet access (pretty much block all games)

- 32009: Amazon Kindle (the Kindle app presumably)

- 32001: Amazon MP3

- 32012: Appstore

- 32010: Browser

- 10020: Calendar Storage

- 10003: contacts (and so forth)

- 10011: Downloads (etc)

- 32011: Help & Feedback

- 32007: My account

- 32002: Shop

I am not 100% confident about this method. Previously, my wifi signal had an 'x' which I assumed was just because I was not allowing network access for the "1000: Settings, Account and Sync Settings, Settings Storage, VPN Services, QuickSettings, Kindle System, StatusBar" app. But after rebooting the Fire (something I hadn't done in weeks), the x is gone even though DroidWall says the firewall is enabled. Hm. My concern is that there may be a window before DroidWall is active where an update could be downloaded. (edit: after a sleep and wake, the status bar wifi signal icon now shows the x again. That still doesn't make me fully confident, but better).

Up until now that was the only odd behavior I had seen with what I was blocking.

Now, I'm hopeful that someone can confirm that my idea of keeping a setuid copy of 'su' handy (somewhere that won't get lost due to the update) has some merit. I'd like to get the 6.3 update but I don't want to go through the current rooting method (installing firefirefire and so on).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldest:
Hi all,

I have recently bought my Galaxy S2 and I am trying to install apps from android market. I log in to my Gmail account on PC internet and connect my S2 with PC. Then I chose the free app like Angry birds to be installed. Now on the webpage it shows below the app this message: "This app is compatible with your AirTel Samsung GT-I9100.", which means my phone is connected and compatible.

Then I clicked on the install button and a pop up appeared saying that the application will be installed [or downloaded] to your device shortly. But after that nothing happened. I waited for a long time and there is nothing on my S2. I checked the Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications, and it doesn't show anything there.

I am NOT connected to internet on my mobile, because I want to utilize my PC internet which is broadband. I have not enabled any other setting on S2 before doing this. I have only enabled the Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources option for convenience. Even the USB debugging is also disabled.

Can someone please let me know what I am missing? Or if there are any other additional settings that I need to do? Please help guys, I am pretty new with this android stuff... :confused:

Thanks in advance...!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aRc.:
It cannot download to your phone without it having a running internet connection I'm afraid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldest:
So do you mean to say that I need to have my mobile internet connection ON in order to get that app downloaded and installed on my phone? :eek:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aRc.:
Unless you can connect to WiFi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Yes you need internet connection on your phone also, you cannot install it via the pc's broadband connection. Do one thing download connectify and make your pc as a wifi hotspot and then connect to the hotspot and then begin downloading.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Or you could enable data connection on your device like edge or 3g.

Now that you have a smartphone you should probably get it activated.

Airtel has plans like Rs 98 for 2gb Edge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldest:
Thanks a lot guys for the replies.

Frankimm, I have currently activated the 98 Rs, 1 GB plan. But it's 2g. Still, I will try out the ideas you have shared. Thanks a ton...

Will get back to you guys in case of any issues. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldest:
Just to update you guys that when I connected internet on my phone, the previously selected app from the android market got downloaded and installed automatically. So this is how it works. Good to know it finally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Hahaha yeah thats how it works.

Glad! to see you sorted out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] iflyer:
Deal of Day at Cowboom is rotating pre-owned 7" tablets. (Currently HTC Flyer).

Add $5 for shipping, I think they charge sales tax also.

If you are not familiar, Cowboom is a branch of BestBuy that mostly sells refurbished and pre-owned items. They have a 30 day return policy.

I cannot post links as a noob but just go to cowboom dot com and it is their deal of the day.

(tried posting in Marketplace under member found deals but was met with statement that it is reserved for experienced developers and users.)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killahrey:
Wow really great deal... Very tempting even though I already have a view...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] J3ff:
I just got one!! Level 8 (hardly used or whatever)

Here's my plan for it:

- Car tablet. Slacker app, google music, gps

I'm a samsung epic owner that has ICS on it......but have never done anything to HTC stuff.

My goal would be to perm mount it in my car as close to this as possible..

Any ideas of a dock that might work for something like this?

What's the diff between a view and flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Phoenixrisingla:
Word, got mine. Level 8 with everything except the micro SD.

Great deal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
That's a smoking deal right there!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killahrey:
I've been thinking of doing the same to my view. As far as a dock if you want it in landscape you will probably have to custom build it. And you should look into the mhl adapter for the jetstream, not sure hat the model number is but its white and is the only thing with a 3.5mm headset jack, that would make docking for music so much easier.

At this point im looking for a double din 7" navigation unit that I can strip to fit the view into.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
They have 3g Flyers (P510E) for less than $350. Some of you had better jump on those. These are the ones that can be used as a phone (takes a GSM SIM card).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] halrabeah:
Got one!

Hey guys,

I just got in on this the other night. I wanted to know how good a deal this is versus some of the ~$300 views out there.

Are there any differences between the two, aside from storage space and 4G radio?

Which is a better deal?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] J3ff:
the 150 is def a better deal.

I really need to figure out a dock that mounts horizontally..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Equalizir:
Hey guys, I went to the cowboom site and they have good prices on cellphones. I was wondering if this place is really good? Seems to good to be true...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
Yeah plenty of people buy from them. Cowboom is owned by Best Buy. Most of the stuff they sell is over stock or returned items.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] iflyer:
Back again on Cowboom now 159.99 with code Flyer40
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] readable:
Just lost mine yesterday. It was a hard day today without my flier. Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ChimeraPhone:
I ordered one on Sunday, got it on Wed. The condition was a level 8, perfect screen. But they sent me a wifi tab instead of the 3G version I ordered :mad:

So off it went to RMA...

Also, none of the supposedly current promo codes on retailmenot work nor the Flyer40 code I tried just now. Each one gives me the msg "Sorry, this promo code is not valid"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] algorhythm:
The 149.99 one was for the wifi not 3g flyer..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ChimeraPhone:
I know, but I really need a 3G tablet to replace a Galaxy Tab on T-mobile. And I tested the Flyer40 promo code with the wifi Flyer, no dice.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Hawk600:
As far as I know Cowboom never had a Flyer 3G for sale in either one of the recent promos.

I actually got 2 Flyers on that deal, both grade 8 as well and in pristine condition.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
They had 3G units on sale shortly after this thread was initially started. I found them on the site and posted the pricing...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ChimeraPhone:
Aaaand it happened again; they sent the Wifi-only Flyer as a replacement instead of the 3G version I ordered. The rep was rude, did not seem to believe me even after matching the serial #s. And when I broke down and asked if she could simply refund me the difference, all she would offer me is $50 :confused:

I am done with these incompetent @$$holes...

BTW, Cowboom's customer service # is 8886026963. They don't post it on their website...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] J3ff:
Are you serious?

There was NEVER a 3g version on cowboom for 150. I know you THINK you are right but I'm sorry - I've been watching it like a hawk and YOU are the confused one here.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ChimeraPhone:
Yes, they were selling the 3G version but it is gone from their site now, likely because they never really had any in the first place. If you had read this thread, you'd have noticed that the 7th poster stated that Cowboom had 3G models for sale. Also, I never said I paid $150 for the 3G model. I never said what I paid ($342 + tax). Notice how I said I requested a refund on the difference in price between the 3G model & the wifi-only version?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] J3ff:
Why are you in the 150 dollar cowboom thread if you paid 340+??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ChimeraPhone:
This looked like a relevant thread to post info on how crappy Cowboom's service was, at least in my case

First mistake was disappointing and frustrating but forgivable

Second time is inexcusable, especially since I had already spoken to two reps who ensured me that the same mistake would not happen again

I hope no one gets some Coby craptablet instead of the Flyer they ordered...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] markols:
Just got my level 6 yesterday and was hoping for no major scratches. Other than a few fingerprints which I cleaned off, you would have thought I unboxed a brand new flyer, not one mark on it. Breathing easier now :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
You can always contest the charge, since they never sent you the item you ordered. That should get their attention.

[HTC Radar] hardaysknight:
I had this happen to me too. Call T-Mobile and tell them you need to activate an HTC Radar. What they do is associate the phones IMEI number to your sim card. I don't know why they have to do this with this phone and not other phones, but you do. Also, your sim may not work if it's an older sim. They make ask you for the model number for your sim card and replace it for you.
