[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kujila:
Hey all! I got my mom a Kindle Fire for Mother's Day tomorrow. She's not extremely tech-oriented, and likes iOS on the iPhone. Do you think I should put Ice Cream Sandwich on the KF, or leave it stock?

I feel like I would be gimping the device if I left it stock, but I'm afraid she'll get overwhelmed and confused by a custom ROM (with oddities like Kernel 3.0's no-shutdown-bug).

Any suggestions?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
I think the shutdown issues are a killer for non-tech oriented people. Sticking with either stock or modaco, at least until the 3.0 kernel is a bit more polished, is what I believe to be the best course of action.

EDIT: If you stick with stock, at least consider installing FFF+TWRP, even if you don't root it (may want to disable OTA updates while you're at it).

My wife is not at all technically oriented but I have her set up with cm7 (Whistlestop's SOSOG) and FFF1.4 (in case of dead battery) and she's never had a problem with it. She definitely prefers it over stock any day.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Whistlestops is still my very favorite highly stable. But I don't know what I would choose for mom stock is friendly for those with minimal experience. I just depends on how available you are for her people can learn:-)

This is the closest I've gotten, but I wish it had more protection: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Battery-Rechargeable-International-Samsung/dp/B007Z1Y7T2

Hi, you tested some apps such as Multi Mount SD-Card? And, will be possible to update to official Latam ICS when it leaks? It has PT-BR language?

Thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] almstag:
there list of the languages ​​of Arabic?

thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igorls1:
Not for now. The only available languages are English and 2 variants of chinese. After all this is the China Retail version and their carriers are not so much "globalized"

Multi Mount SD-Card is saying device isn't compatible! I'll try with other apps later. And yes, it will be possible to update. Actually I'm going to test switching to the German ICS leak and/or american leak.

Technically yes, but i believe there is a way back.. I just didn't tried yet!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igorls1:
My test list for now:

1. ICS 4.0.4 Nandroid over China Retail, chances are we got SD card fixed, as the Chinese version was developed for a different Razr. Testing now! Again!

2. 672.152.43.en.EU leak, i've heard there are many languages available on this one :) Will never work... this one is for people coming from 2.3.6.

UPDATE! Both failed :( I'm not finished yet... will attempt later with build.prop modifications!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stangri:
So wait a second, if I use the mmcblk1p18 attached to the first post, I could flash en.eu and cn.eu ROMs via RSD Lite? Also, how did you get to the T-Mo ICS from T-Mo 2.3.6?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igorls1:
That was what I did, after replacing this block RSD accepts every rom i use... i used the leaked ota update from T-mobile, coming from unrooted 2.3.6

Hi I have a latam device from claro PR and i flash the 2.3.6 from BR wish is latam also then did the backup of the mmcblk1p18 file now I boot to ap fastboot when to rsd lite tried to flash the china leak and it always come out failed don't know why any suggestion :confused:

read the instructions carefully... you need to backup AND replace block 18

I'm testing with T-mobile now, the only difference is more language support (china only have english and chinese). People are reporting that after you upgrade with the T-mobile OTA it's impossible to downgrade, i didn't prove it wrong yet... With chinese version I know it's possible!

Hey OP,

I've read the whole thread and the OP carefully. And there is one question remaining: How did you downgrade from the german leak to 2.3.6?? I have to ask you because I tried everything (maybe I've forgot something) and had no success, even a bricked device which I could restore to the ICS leak without root. So please, tell me how you did it.

And by the way: If you install the leak using the "clean" way (without the chinese leak) you won't have any issues with the USB-storage. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igorls1:
it was downgraded to t-mobile 2.6.3 from the china ics leak (BL 0.7 to 0.6), i know about the clean way, but that's the point, this is impossible for latam devices (which is the whole point of this thread)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
From china leak you can downgrade, but not from the german leak..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] igorls1:
I understood now, but i'm almost there... I managed to make RSD ignore the signatures and flash old system and bootloader files, now I got some trouble with cdrom file, if I could find and RSD or SBF rom for the T-mobile ICS, not and OTA update maybe I could get this downgrade working...

One thing I didn't tried is to restore the original customer block before downgrade, very very risky!!

Can't figure out what's happening there... I'm in Brazil and i didn't had this type of issue.

Did you replace the Chinamms.apk? I was using this rom and changing the mms.apk apparently make things better. I can not confirm because I changed to the german version, which by the way is ot better and has less features. I can not downgrade or at least I am not going to risk it until someone does it and show prove to it.

Also how is your signal?? Anyone complaining or not hearing you? That was the complain when I was in that rom, but I was also roaming in the states, so I didn't nkw for sure if that was the cause. No problem with that with the german baseband.

First chinese leak has a lower secure version (03), same as in 2.3.6 the you were able to downgrade. The Tmo and new chinese leak secure version is higher (04) than in gb 2.3.6 (03) and you cannot downgrade.

brick and such

Hey

I was having the rom from this thread

which is basically the t-mobile leak , now before I get flamed by everyone , I know it is impossible to get back to 2.3.6 and so one , and it not supposed to ...

BUT as any gear head I put it on my device and it was quite fine. but now with the new release I can't put it.

to make things worse while do trying ( yes I do have the mmblock18-back file) I tried to flash it with some different ver , and I get the error for flashing the idt and the devtree and some more files ("INFOPreflash validation failure")

I did try the j dady unbrick and the unstuck211

anyway now I have a system file that was flashed from 2.3.6 and most rest of the system from ICS , of course it is bricked

now , I guess that if I would flash back the system only from the same leak it would at least boot or charge.

BUT the OTA's don't come with system file but with system folder.

the Q is

Is it possible to flash a system folder somehow ( don't start with the block by block imaging please versus dir fs).

thank you.
