Hi

I want to root my kindle fire very badly! and this is the whole reason why i made a account here. First of all I have a kindle fire running 6.3.2. Everything is working but when I go into kindle fire utility my boot status is unknown even though my kindle is on and unlocked. My adb status is online. could someone please help.

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
installed kindle drivers?

how is it listed in device manager?

windows 7, 8?
[Kindle Fire General] Thepooch:
No worries plenty around here to help. XP driver install is a pain, Windows 7 pretty smooth, Windows 8 you have to disable driver signature enforcement and your golden. Certain languages are unsupported by this driver install so give a bit more background and help will come.
[Kindle Fire General] dimpai:
to answer you question I have installed kindle drivers. I have windows 8 or 8.1 to be exact. IN devise manager is says adb somthing something. I cant check it now but I know it works because when I go into command prompt and I say adb devices it shows up
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
I don't worry about boot status, when it's listed as an adb device in device manager, I just ignore and continue.
[Kindle Fire General] Thepooch:
You can also disable driver signature verification. Shift+click restart, select advanced startup, it should take you to a bulleted splash with 9 options, continue or a restart button, then options are select by f1-f9 select f7 to disable driver signature verification it will restart then install Kindle fire drivers again, disregard warning, plug in Kindle then see what you get.

I am currently on Mike D's Vexxum. I think I am on the .605.1 RUU. If I want to flash the .2, do I just do so via bootloader? No need to wipe data/cache or re-install a fresh rom correct?

Thanks in advance. Just want to make sure

996
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
not exactly, if you are s-off you can, but if you are s-on you have to relock to do so. then unlock, flash recovery then flash rom!
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Either way an RUU will most likely wipe everything from your phone except the SD cards.
[HTC Rezound] 996:
I am s-off. Really? I think I've flashed before and I was fine with the rom setup I had. So basically I should do a full wipe and install a fresh rom afterwards? Also a recovery?
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Yes you'll have to reflash a recovery and Rom after running an ruu..

The ruu will give you updated radios. And hboot, AMD everything, you'll prolly have to reflash your hboot as well if you want to keep the jupunutbear hboot.

I need help I'm having some major issues with my phone and I was hoping someone could help me out? I've got two problems with my phone first it's the service I'm not always able to receive or make calls but it's not my sim card or service provider. I've switched my sim card twice and called my provider about the issue. It's something hardware related I'm just not sure what? I think it could be the sim port or antena. I'm able to make calls sometimes and when I'm out side I only get 2bars? somethings up I really need someones help. The second problem is my gyroscope is messed up I can't use anything that uses the tilt feature. I strongly believe that this is solely a HARDWARE issue I really need someones help.

[HTC One X] hackarchive:
Skip to test below if ur not in china or not interested in getting preview.(fake HOX pictures are the last 4 added to attachments)

Hey guys I did some investigations that because the HOX is Taiwan based then Chinese mainlanders who say Taiwan is China started selling fake HOX online.HTC IMEI's have been cracked so dont believe in checking the imei and staying there.Thats just horrible.U see the pictures,the price,the specs and everything seen looks "wow this is the real deal". The same retail price just a little bit cheaper maybe but same things said and the wrong device delivered.I got one for a friend from my beloved taobao.com which is a site I never go wrong.Then they have this ridiculous slant that "its from hongkong...that's what hongkong people use"(guess they all use the fake one x with 858x480 res,dual core processor and as thick as a loaf of bread):laugh::laugh:.Some even have the original one x external casing. Just rubbish!!Side not anyone in mainland china then planning to buy this device ask the seller if he has the European version or else don't buy.Cuz they'll send u ****!!Even though the price is close to retail and specs show yes don't be tempted.Don't buy from Guandong.Get it in the link below

TEST

If u get ur one x first checks for originality:

-check sense 4 and htc's signature features like:

1.Signature sense feature;check the camera app which should be like this

2.Check multitasking ui it should look like this.(check if u can swipe up to close)

3.Check htc sense 4 paperlike end of scroll effect by going to settings and trying to scroll down at the top of the menu(put ur finger on screen in settings and move it down where u see bluetooth) and u should see this

look in attachment(venom tweaks from custom rom)

4.From the above u can see on is green and off white.Not blue or non-square switches.And the first setting is not wifi.U'll have to check settings as above.

5.Check if it has a transparent status bar(not black but transparent).If ur on a black background change it to a colourful one and check.

6.The launcher at the home screen(rosie) should rotate not slide as transition effect.

7.Check for htc homebrew apps on the device like htc hub,watch,car....

8.turn on 3g,E or wifi and go to whatismyscreenresolution.com.Check that HD dude.(720x1280)

9.Check with htcsync software too.

It can have 1 sim,nonrem. battery but still fake.This guarantees u a starting point and i bet u no fake one x has all of these cuz as much as u try to copy hardware u cant copy software.Sense 4 is the big test for the nvidia quadcore.

Update:

My folks in China save urself embarrassment and get this one.Use Google translate or chrome and choose asian-pacific with official package from here.(Got mine here.Trust the seller!)

Peace folks and thank if I helped.:)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
It'll be from Shenzhen, which is just over the border, not Hong Kong.

I bought mine from HTC in Hong Kong, it has x.xx.708.x firmware.

The fake one mentioned on here has a completely different hboot.

A lot of phones (like iPhone 5) which are real, are bought in Hong Kong and sold abroad for profit (if they are in short supply, they mark them up), but the fake ones will be from Shenzhen.
[HTC One X] hackarchive:
I know the alarm is not on "fake One x" in hong kong.Of course even here I can get a legit one.The horror is all the merchants selling on the web brand these fake devices as imported from hongkong!!Which sucks I think!!:mad:
[HTC One X] nameite:
I actually brought a cheap HOX on taobao, and it was a fake MT6577 or something processor...it wasnt slow and it looked almost the same as the original.

It had antutu benchmark with a "locked" score of 10225, so no matter how many times you run the test it will be 10225.

And worst of all, the seller wouldnt return the money...after a 10 day long process, I eventually got the Taobao reps to ge tmy money back (its kinda like paypal, once you click "received" your money is gone, lucky I didnt.)

Anyways, too many fakes in China these days, if you guys ever come here, only buy stuff with help from a local (sometimes even that aint enough though :D)

Shops were selling real sensation xe and xl with fake urbeats or with no urbeats in China LOL. And on Taobao, they show pictures of real HOXes and sell the fake ones, the price is still very high at 1500rmb to 2500rmb... Chinese are very evil!!!

There are no ROMs that work differently in different countries. Update you GB to ICS and even stock ROM has good battery life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidPhile:
With the recent update to Google Search for Android you can no longer disable web searches. Every time you use the universal search on the phone you must wait for the web results to return and they are listed before the apps. For people who primarily use the search functionality for accessing apps this poses difficulty.

What is the best way around this? At present I've just been using an older version of the Google Search apk. Is the best way around this hacking the current Google Search apk to just have a different package name and use that from now on? Does anyone know if there is a hack to disable web searches in the new Google Search with integrated Google Now?

Also posted a poll along with this to see if other people find this intentional exclusion of web search options annoying. Thanks in advance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Thought my NFC chip failed on me, cm10/codename/stock rooted all wouldn't let me use NFC. Took my phone to Sprint local store, dropped it off and 2 hours later was told I need to go TEP route and was provided a tiny business card to contact asurion.

Called sprint later the same night, dude didn't even know what NFC was. Transferred me to a tech that night never answered.

Through xda, a member advised the NFC chip is in the battery. I switched my battery back to stock, and shocker, NFC was again fully functional. Really Sprint? Do you not know your product well enough to know this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Thats pretty sad on sprints part.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastert33:
Well also pretty sad you didn't see it on the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bhavi_jp:
And they wonder why their reps have reputation of being extremely incompetent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peanut1596:
The nfc chip is not in the battery. That would imply that every phone is capable of nfc with the correct battery. The nfc chip is in the phone, however, in order for it to work, it needs the antenna which is rather too large to put in the phone, takes up too much surface space. Thus, they use the battery as the location for this nfc antenna.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sunsparc:

This wouldnt even be an asurion claim in the first place....did the phone have obvious signs of physical damage?

Where you at a corp store or authorized retailer?

My techs are frigging awesome....but there are limitations to what they are allowed to do, and only as good as the training they receive.

Techs do not sell phones...or anything for that matter. They make repairs.

More and more its my belief that carriers are going the route of phone swaps though...and sending the phones somewhere in bulk to be refurbed. In the long run I could see how that would be cheaper.

Hearing NFC is still in the battery is news to me as well. I was of the understanding that after the skyrocket samsung moved everything to the back cover...go figure.

And I spend hours with this stuff lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Nope, only had it one week and is in perfect condition. And it was a corporate store, i dont go to retailers. I checked the stock battery and it does say near field communication enabled on it. So again, battery may not be where the chip resides but it does enable the feature if the battery allows it to.

The tech was one thing, all he did was wipe my phone and then reboot it. Worse was the phone rep that didn't even know what NFC was until I described it (he was still wary about it through the call saying 'try that option again, not even knowing how I was trying it out).
