:rolleyes: 7.3.1? LOL. Yeah it's probably something I have touched/tweaked as I have put mine through its paces. Like I said I am going to do some test runs and see what I did. Just making sure it wasn't a global thing.

I will say I do not like how the new update constantly reminds you that parental controls are on. Of course I know parental controls are on, I turned them on. Any device that has access to my CC gets some sort of Parental Controls or Password. I don't need to be reminded of it. LOL

Ok just doing the quick checks here, but when you connect the kindle you are making sure to press the disconnect button on screen? I know these all seem like small things but you'd be surprised at the things people miss. When you connect the kindle what does it do? Ask you to "open the sd card", nothing, show up as an ADB device?

I just used KFU and option 2 again. works fine

I got the update and decided to use KFU again and option 2, which is install permanent root. The only thing you need to put back manually is the Google Play market and remember to convert it as a System App. if you don't it will shut down the app when you open it. Use Titanium Backup to convert it to system app.

The update also got rid of my skyfire browser and teamspeak app

I always have backups so no problems
[Kindle Fire General] fredbob3:
Can't update

I can't get mine to update. I rooted my kindle fire last week using KFU 0.9.5. Everything was going fine until yesterday, when it decides to restart itself and try to install an update, I think it's the 6.3.1 update. It get's about 1/4 of the way through and stops, shows a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and andy on the side, and just sits there. I've restarted it about 10 times now, and every time it gets to the home screen, it restarts and goes in the cycle again.
[Kindle Fire General] Laquox:
Odd I have never had that problem with any update as far as converting or it deleting apps.

You could try to manually update it using TWRP
[Kindle Fire General] ericmb20:
ok i figured it out after a bunch more digging... apparently it was a driver issue... in device manager it wasnt showing up as an android composite adb interface... i followed the instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1634015 here and was able to get everything back to normal - thanks for the help :-)
[Kindle Fire General] curiousmike:
Is there something special about the Modaco rom that prevents the OTA.

I didn't see otacerts.zip in my /etc folder, but in /etc/security.
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
No, Modaco will udpate. The folder was wrong, otacerts.zip is in etc/security. Go ahead and rename it , it won't affect anything but the update.
[Kindle Fire General] speedingcheetah:
I have a actually noticed an improvement in speed and responsiveness with the update...go launcher runs much smoother...
[Kindle Fire General] akalostangel:
I had to run KFU after 6.3.1 was installed. I had no problems. I will say that I still had superuser and google app store before running KFU again, but I did not get superuser priviledges on ES File Explorer until after running KFU.

I did have to manually install the app store and superuser the first time I ran KFU, though (thank you to this forum for instructions) because for some reason KFU did not do it for me.

I have had no issues so far with 6.3.1.
[Kindle Fire General] JimCo06:
All I can tell you is that I am running MoDaCo GR8 and my KF did not update or experience any other problems when 6.3.1 was pushed.
[Kindle Fire General] CobbFC09:
So let me get this straight, If I rooted my Kindle on 6.3 and then updated to 6.3.1, I no longer have root?
[Kindle Fire General] gruuvin:
Yes. So far, every Amazon update has broken root access.
[Kindle Fire General] Badgerino:
Same I think.
[Kindle Fire General] CobbFC09:
Ok, thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] Badgerino:
Yeah I'm still on 6.3 with root. Went ahead and renamed the OTA file.

Same setup as Jim - Modaco with most up to date TWRP and FFF.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
I was having some appstore problems that I suspected were related to droidwall (turned out they were not, my internet connection at home was just sucky) and neglected to turn droidwall back on, and I missed the warnings about the update, so I was surprised by it.

Fortunately I was still able to do 'adb root' and get a root shell on 6.3.1 without doing anything special. I had followed jcase's instructions prior to getting the 6.3 update (add an entry to /data/local.prop) which did the trick at that time and may have done the trick again.

For me, this is sufficient - lets me put /system/xbin/su back into place (and clobber the rooted check that runs at startup).

I still don't want to mess around with twrp/fff and so on if I can help it but I'm sure I'll be going down that path at some point...

I'll be doing that and turning droidwall on soon :-)
[Kindle Fire General] Badgerino:
Off topic but my su file is in bin not xbin and I'm still able to assign root access to apps and such. I thought I read that this wasn't the case.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
I think as long as it's in your PATH and accessible to non-root users you're good.

# echo $PATH

/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

I've got no /vendor/bin or /system/sbin -- I could create them but there's no point. /sbin won't work because its permissions are too restrictive for non-root users to see it (unless you open up the permissions). That leaves /system/bin and /system/xbin as the usual locations.
[Kindle Fire General] berighteous:
Do any of these updates actially make anything better on the fire? After I messed up my partitions I restored an old backup and I'm back to 6.2. Do I really benefit anything updating to 6.21 or beyond?
[Kindle Fire General] Badgerino:
Thanks.

Wish I knew why I didn't get the forced update. Not that I'm complaining.
[Kindle Fire General] potestasx:
I got the update when I wasn't looking. I had OTA RootKeeper with a backed up root but it wiped out the backup. I re-ran the KFU permanent root option and got root back pretty quickly.
[Kindle Fire General] cyianara69:
Hmmm .. isn't this sort of a catch-22, if you can't get Google Play to run, how are you suppose to download Titanium Backup, unless you can download it from the AmazonApp store ....

Please forgive my question as I've only had my fire for 2 days and still very much learning the ropes.
[Kindle Fire General] jdock:
This is the first time I've heard of using Titanium Backup to convert it to a system app. Makes sense I guess but it's nearly a catch-22. There are ways to get apps (including Titanium Backup) other than Google Play - 3rd party appstores like getjar, 3rd party mirrors of the google appstore, use another android device, or get it from a friend, to name a few.

That said, the normal (old-fashioned?) method of installing the play store is to manually copy it to /system/app. using adb...

adb root

adb remount

adb push <path_to_the_apk> /system/app

adb shell chmod 755 /system/app/<apk name>

alternately you can use adb shell, su, use the command to manually re-mount /system read/write (which I can't remember off the top of my head), and copy the apk you have previously got onto our Fire over to /system/app (which you'll probably have to do using cat unless you have busybox installed) and chmod it.

Then reboot and you should be good to go.

A lot of us have found that at some point, the market/play apk seems to get converted from a system app to a non-system app and subsequently survives Amazon updates. May happen if the app gets updated. I for one have only ever had to install it once (if only the same were true for the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk) and had I think 4 Amazon updates since the first install.
[Kindle Fire General] Badgerino:
I just downloaded Hulu+ from the Amazon app store and right after it installed a got a notifcation that "an automatic update was prevented due to new permissions"

I'm assuming this is because I added the .bak extension to the OTA file.

Not sure why it didn't get pushed to me before now but it tried today.
[Kindle Fire General] snowmelt:
Google play Survived ghe update

Mine updated to 6.3 and although rootkeeper says I am not rooted…Google play still works fine. I have to use go launcher to get to it. I can also reboot into gasp and go back and forth to cm9

Amazon video works on the 6.3 side just fine.
[Kindle Fire General] nrfitchett4:
and we wonder why amazon tries so hard to keep people from rooting...
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
They want everyone to head over to the Amazon Appstore and prevent us from spending a cent in Play Store. What a way to sell a product....

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Hi guys,

I have my clockwork mod folder on my external SanDisk 16gb sdhc...does anyone know how to be able to restore this way? Does the backup have to be on internal storage? I don't see a "mount ext sd" option in mounts...

While I'm asking this..

When you move apps to external do they no longer show up in your app drawer...? I'm using go launcher but it seems they disappear when I move them to external sd card.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] drewdown757:
I would like to know about using the external sd card for cwm instead of internal as well....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
by default from what I read CWM uses the internal SD card but I believe I heard some people mentioning on the forums that you can modify something in the kernel or a config file somewhere to change this. Unfortunately I do not know how sorry.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] drewdown757:
Ive looked through every kernel thread and just about every rom thread and dont see anything about being able to switch it over to using your external sd card for backups....it sux but guess its not possible yet
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
There is a few posts in the CWM thread that talk about swapping the internal SD for the External SD.

then he says he did it like this below:

This may do what you want?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] drewdown757:
Ill have to give it a try, kinda scared too cuz im a noob at that kinda stuff but i appreciate the help!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] drewdown757:
ok so im using root explorer, opened up the fstab file to edit and am stuck there, not really sure where to add those commands at...i think it would just be easier to leave it on internal storage lol
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Yes it would be easier to leave it as it is. Lol. I have modified the fstab in Linux but not on my phone. If it is the same type of file you need to make sure you are opening it as root and there should already be a line with your current file system being mapped and simply replace it with the new line.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnnycanuk:
I am a noobie that is true. I recently rooted my phone because the gpps was not working and the steps to improve gps did not work. It may be that my phone is defective.

So I went to the thread that detailed how to unroot my phone and bring it back to stock but it is confusing to me.

Here is my dillemma:

"Okay so from the help of GTG I removed the Root off the stock rom."

What is GTG??

There are a list of things to do. Do you all of them?

1. INFUSE 4G -- BACK TO STOCK 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD METHOD --

2. RETURN TO UXKG3 KERNEL:

3. MAKE SURE VOODOOLAG FIX IS DISABLED!

So, what do I do? It is a bit cryptic and I need a fairly detailed step by step to bring my phone back to stock.

Thanks!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnnycanuk:
I took a gamble and figured that I just need to follow step 1. I am hoping that it works...

I did what the Odin steps detailed. factory reset my phone. Tried to remove Superuser and busybox but could not. Now what? Do I go to step 2. ?

I read through the thread on Rogers and the last post reads:

"Thanks, but I don't want to flash an unsigned kernel first, as that will void my warranty. I need a pure stock package because I'm just moving from non-root AT&T to non-root Rogers."

So does it really bring my phone back to stock? And if I can't remove Superuser and Busybox from system I can't return my phone to rogers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
Yes...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnnycanuk:
Ok I have tried countless times following the steps to bring my Rogers phone back its retail stock condition and I am not at all successful. Can someone who has done this please write the steps out in a manner that even a non developer could follow?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
Basically what you are doing is the same thing as rooting the phone, but instead of the rooted kernel you are using the unrooted kernel (the second link in the root thread)

So it's like this:

Rooted Kernel = Odin_Infused_Gingerbread_Kernel_v1.zip

Stock Kernel = Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip

they are both flashed the same way, through odin.

Before you start anything you have to make sure voodoo lagfix is disabled (check if there is a voodoo folder on your internal memory, check if there is a disable-lagfix folder inside. If not, make one)

What you want to do is flash the rooted kernel first, then the stock kernel. You then do as is said in the instructions:

Download Root explorer from market & locate and delete:

/system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/busybox

/system/app/Superuser

after that factory reset (settings > privacy > factory reset) and you will lose root and be completely stock.

Hi,

I would have posted in the ROM's thread, but the forums won't allow me...

I've installed RR on my GT-i9100 and it works lovely apart from this one issue:

I use 3 email adresses. 2 of them are gmail and one is my university one, manually set up through exchange. My uni email updates as soon as I receive an email (as it's notification is set to push), yet my gmail accounts never update, unless I manually refresh their corresponding folders (despite the fact that they are set to check for any new emails every 5 minutes). I have tried disabling the gmail app and the google+ app, as I thought they were interfering, but that hasn't solved anything. Anyone have any ideas what the issue might be?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Finagle69:
I think you left out the Radio.

When I did this, it still had UCLF6 Baseband.

After flashing stock rom via Odin, you need to Odin the stock Radio (baseband).

Then Odin CWM.

Then flash the counter reset (via CWM).

Then and only then will it be completely stock and update-ready for Kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hashbrown:
All I did was flashed stock rom and CWM in Odin. I flashed the stock radio UCLA1 and the counter reset in CWM.

Download the firmware. It will end with the md5 extension. Erase that till your extension is .tar

Download Odin it's a program you need to flash tar files.

When you have it downloaded you have to put your phone in download mode by powering off and holding volume down plus power. You should see a android or yellow triangle. Press up and it will put you in Odin mode. Plug your phone up and open Odin. Your phone should be recognized and it should say com #

Pick pda and attach the stock tar file and click start.
