[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
My rooted KF got bricked by the new OS update that was released last night. It boots as normal, gets to the locker screen, and whether you unlock it or not, reboots about 15 seconds later to a screen showing the Android guy and an exclamation point in a yellow triangle. Then, if you start touching the screen, 4 buttons will show up on the side, up/down, select, and back... but they do nothing. Reboot again and it takes me to TWRP.

I know how to wipe my KF and reinstall everything, but I was hoping that someone might know of a fix for this. Especially because I just got a new computer and am still in the process of getting my normal apps installed, let alone Android SDKs that I use once in a blue moon. Plus, I have a few games that I would rather not lose my progress on.

BTW, I rooted my dad's KF the exact same way as mine and his just lost root access with the update, everything else is fine. Kinda weird.

TIA
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
What OS update? Your new computer will not need sdk. Also you will not escape having to wipe if something has gone amuck, unless you get lucky to be able to flash the prior system to revert the defect. You could just flash modaco http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 no more losing root from OTA`S. You may also get lucky and be able to flash modaco if you`re on rooted stock or previously rooted stock 6.3.1 without wiping.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
About 3am last night, I found my KF bricked after just using it about 30 minutes before (the wifi was on and it was hooked up to the charger). Today, I checked on my dad's KF and he has his wifi turned off. I turned it on and it instantly rebooted to just a "command line" screen saying that it was installing an update. Took about 10 minutes and then rebooted and worked fine, except that it was unrooted. I read somewhere in the Amazon Forums today that they did roll out an update and plan on spending 2 weeks doing it to keep from bogging down their network. Granted, their Software Update page doesn't say anything about it yet.

BTW, thanks for the other info, I'll have to check it out. Sounds like I'll have to wipe it (or at least restore from a 2-3 month old backup and see how the update goes again). But that's cool that I won't need to install the Android SDK.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Explains why some are instantly being unrooted or like in your case bricked strange thing is that it doesn`t change the system version it`s still 6.3.1 figures that Amazon would pull something like this.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
Hey, I did manage to find a quick fix! :D

In the recovery mode, I decided to try using the Fix Permissions option. Still had the same problem.

I then just used the Clear Cache option and my KF was back up and running... and still rooted.

The only issue I have found so far is that I had to change the permission to allow changing the wallpaper, just uncheck the "write" permissions, (which was probably reset by the Fix Permissions option I ran). Other than that 2 second fix, everything is fine.

Granted, I'm waiting for Amazon to do an auto-check for some file that was in the cache that told it that it had installed the latest upgrade, and since I wiped that, it may install it again. If it does, I'll post it in this thread that my quick fix didn't work. But so far so good. :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
It turns out that my quick fix is only a temp fix.

Twice tonight I had to clear the cache again via the recovery menu. The first time it happened, I had just finished reading and hit the power button to put it in sleep mode, which caused it to instantly reboot and then do the same thing as I mentioned above. It boots up, and within 5 second of getting the locker screen, whether you unlock it or not, it starts shutting down and reboots ending up with the screen in the attached pic (those dots are just dust that appear super bright for some weird reason because you can't see them except in the pic).

So I cleared the cache again, everything was fine, and then about an hour later I found it sitting on that screen again. Clearing the cache fixed it again, but obvious this is a reoccurring problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm reluctant to do a reinstall yet because I'm afraid I'll just end up with the same problem... along with none of my apps installed.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamcham737877:
I have the same issue :( my temp solution is turn off wifi asap after lock-screen appear, wait abt 1-2 minutes then I can turn on wifi and use as normal.

Everything will fine for few hours. Any permanent solution plz? I remember that it occurred after i update something from Amazon app store, maybe : apps...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
The permanent solution is to flash another rom preferably modaco if you want the stock experience. Full wipe, your apps can all be redownloaded that is the least of your worries at this point. probably a really good time to upgrade your bootloader and recovery if you haven`t flash both of these zips as zips in twrp if are behind the curve http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30780737&postcount=180 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 only get them from where I`m directing you or use smirkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500935.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamcham737877:
thanks for your help. This is done with the below solution

1) Copy the update bin file to the /sdcard as update.zip

Download stock ROM : https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107920.bin

copy update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107920.bin into Kindle Fire and re-name to update.zip

2) From the main menu of CWM, "Wipe cache from partion" to remove the existing files in the data and cache partitions

3) From the main menu of CWM, press the "Install update.zip" button to flash the stock software onto your device.

:) no data/application lost accept FFF and CWM
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Wiping cache doesn`t remove data in twrp its factory reset that you need to concern yourself with and unfortunately there is data loss. You may have succeeded but others put themselves in a position of needing a factory cable after not properly wiping when flashing stock. This is because the data is what the kindle has a tough time handling after a complete stock flash. Flashing modaco is far safer, truth is that it will leave your recovery and bootloader intact providing a far better safety net if something were to go wrong. Also if you create a backup before you flash if something does go wrong at least you can restore a half crap backup, wipeout recovery and this is no longer possible just saying. I see far more people fail to flash stock than I ever do flashing modaco.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PBFred:
Thanks for the info guys.

Considering the post in the Amazon Forums said this update was being pushed out over a 2 week period, I'm just going to keep my WiFi off (unless needed) and wait until everyone should have received the update and then see how it plays out. Considering it doesn't change the software version number, I'm thinking that this update may be just targeting rooted Fires. And BTW, it appears that the post was removed, because I can't find it again. Maybe they remove any that mention rooting? I just stumbled upon it via a Google search... 99% of the question in their forum are just idiotic.

Directv used to pull this stunt all the time to bust people with hacked cards that allowed them to get all their channels for free (usually a few hours before some big PPV event). They finally completely stopped the ability to hack cards by rolling out parts of their code over a long period of time, a year or so. When the final piece was put in place, the previous parts of their code had already been integrated into the hacked card software, because it appeared safe, and along with upgrading the type of cards they used during that same period of time, pretty much eliminated the ability to cheat Directv. I'm not saying that Amazon is going to those lengths to stop people from rooting their KFs,.. but who knows? It may be costing them too much with people bricking their KFs by trying to root them. Plus, they may also be losing revenue by people getting their free apps (with ads) from the Playstore instead of Amazon. And considering they pretty much sell their Fires for cost, they definitely rely on revenue generated by buying and using things via a stock KF.

BTW, this whole issue had almost perfect timing... I was planning on wiping my KF because it definitely is slower than when I first got it (which was day 1 of its release). I've read that Gingerbread doesn't clean up after itself too well, especially not as good as ICS (kinda like a Windows registry just gets filled with junk over time, and no cleaner beats a fresh install). It also appears that the ICS roms are actually working reliably these days, compared to the last time I checked. So, in a couple weeks, I'll get to have some fun. I am a Windows/Cisco System Engineer, so this kinda stuff is fun for me. :)

F.Y.I.

It seems that Amazon did do a incremental update on the Original Kindle Fire version

6.3.1_user_4107720,

April 30 build

to 6.3.1_user_4107920,

November 27 build

.

I looked thru the update and the only things I found changed are to do with the

Wifi driver, launcher icons, boot animation, and boot.img; attached the changed file below.

I have not tried to update mine, will attempt this weekend.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Thank you Tera Tike for the info at least this confirms that it's not just a fluke users of rooted stock should be warned appreciate your research. I do wonder why they would change boot animation and IMG seems a bit haneous.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
It seems they increased the resolution of the images in the file, but for me I can not see the difference.

For me I wonder what they changed in the WiFi driver file, tiap_drv.ko.

I too am having issues with MTP using this build. I'm often getting 'Timeout Reached' errors on my desktop when I attempt to browse. I'm on an ubuntu 12.10 based lubuntu system. MTP works a lot more smoothly under the stock ROM.

Also my Relay seems to be running very, very hot, using the Alpha 1 build, I'm assuming that this is because of the lack of 'power saving' mode that I've grown used to in TouchWiz, and probably just need to set up some proper SetCPU profiles.

also i wanted to ask a question:

if a flash an ruu will it change the hboot version?

and if it does so how can i downgrade the hboot to flash my stock ruu?
[HTC One S] kevin0905:
supercid gives you the ability to use any ruu as long as it has the same hboot version or higher

and yes if you use a higher version ruu than your current hboot, it will be upgraded

to downgrade hboot there is a tutorial in the dev section that involves ubuntu
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VillePie:
So I tried to disable Voodoo lagfix (from Voodoo app) and now I'm stuck in the boot screen. Somehow disabling lagfix in CWM isn't working either. I accidentally had my phone corded up to my PC and had internal memory propably mounted while I booted the phone and it tried to convert the filesystem. Not sure if mounting caused the problem.

Being in this situation, is it safe to flash stock rom with .PIT file in Odin while having lagfix enabled? What (I think) I'm trying to ask is does re-partition convert my filesystem back to RFS? If it doesn't work that way, what should I try next? Already backed up all necessary data and ready to wipe. I'm currently on Darky's 10.1 RE and thought about moving on to newer roms, first through stock rom.

I have limited experience in flashing roms. I've read numerous threads and seen one case in which flashing with .PIT file in Odin helped but I wish not to hesitate with this. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reading.

Hi all :D!

I have a question about Doomkernel; I followed the instructions carefully and the actual kernel is on the phone, but wifi does not work.

I installed Doom's wifi module patch (via CWM) and it still isn't working.

I downloaded the kernel from a filesharing site because the download links on Doom's post do not work (just brings up a 404) and maybe this is why the wifi module patch does not fix wifi.

Please could someone upload the latest Doomkernel (with wifi modules) so I can fix the wifi problems and update the kernel to the latest version (currently is 2.3.4 / kernel version : 2.6.32.9-DooMKernel).

Oh, and someone should notify Doom that his links are not working- it's not letting me post on any of his threads because I have not met the ten-post threshold yet.

Is anyone else using a dual band router? Which one?

I got a Netgear WNDR3700 a couple of years ago and the 5ghz band is super weak. Through one wall about 10 feet from the router I'm only getting 3 bars. At 20 feet and no walls I get 2 bars.

Any ideas or tips? I'm kind of bummed I shelled out the cash for a dual band router when it doesn't really seem very useful. Unless our phones can run simultaneous connections?

View attachment 1546404
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BeatnikBandit:
I don't have the router but AFAIK our phones can use either but not simualtanious connections.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jneal9:
This doesn't surprise me. A 5ghz signal will have a shorter range than 2.4ghz, and will have a harder time going through walls and other objects. The only real advantage to a 5ghz signal is that less electronic equipment uses this frequency, so there will be less network interference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I'm just surprised by how short the range is. It seems like it'd only be useful within the same room but at that point why not just use gigabit for file transfers and stuff?

For our phones the highest linkspeed on 2.4ghz I've seen is 65mpbs and on 5ghz 150mbps. On my PC I'm getting 300mbps/300mbps. It's a little disappointing that the radio inside the phone isn't a higher standard but it works fine for me. If you wanted to do a lot of file transfers or streaming DLNA, all share, WiFi connect, w.e else we have access to it'd be nice to see those higher speeds.

I'm getting another single band router on Monday so I'll see what kinds of speeds that gives me. At the very least I can use it to get WiFi in my laundry room.

Do you guys think 5ghz is just a fad? Or is it only useful in things that have a stronger antenna? Like my PC that has an external adapter.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
This is 100% true! Gotta love physics right??? lmao its also faster i thought? Or is that just a/g/b/n capabilities?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] doubleohseven:
I have the same exact router with the same problem. In my bedroom I get about 3 bars of 2.4 signal, where I get 0-1 with 5 signal. As stated above this is normal, but FYI, our routers are known to have pretty crappy 5ghz signal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
This is weird too. I'm about 15 feet away with 2 walls between me and the router and I'm getting 4 bars. In my kitchen 15 feet away with no walls I get 3... This is on 2.4ghz on the new Linksys router. Maybe cuz I was next to the microwave? It was OFF though..

Just microwaved something... No effect.

I hate technology though.

I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user :)

So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.

Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?

The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -

1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC One S] LkMsWb:
Bump to first page and a little addendum:

I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.

Am I missing something?
