Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Demo

stirky,

That is perfect Android ADB Interface is sufficient.

Yes, you will need a Factory USB Cable. we do sell them and we are shipping a bunch tomorrow. I would ship it

to you Priority at no additional charge, just PM me your name, address, city, state, zip, phone and email.

You would get the cable in about 3 days. We sell the cables at our direct cost to all XDA Developer Members.

Obtain a factory cable. Fastboot flash the system.img,recovery.img and boot.img. Then give me results. Use kindle fire first aid program.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prokennexusa:
wukster,

The Kindle Fire 8.9" does not need the Factory USB Cable, just use Option 10 in the interface. There is a known Bug in the Kindle Fire 8.9" Bootloader, if you get stuck in Fastboot, let us know, we have the fix.

Please wait until we do some updates on the software and then download it anytime after Monday 8:00am - we are doing critical updates for Kindle Fire 8.9" models.

Hi I dont want to hijack your thread or anything but i was wondering if you could possibly help me root my demo unit as well. This one is actually from my store but we dont keep the demos on display and would like to have it for personal use when its just 1 person in the store. (we are located in a mall so we often have just one person in the morning). I would really appreciate it if you could maybe walk me through the steps to get it recognized on adb. I have a KFHD 7". Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Got it to read as "Android Composite ADB Interface" which I believe was the first step to making it work. I need a Factory Cable which from what I understand requires rewiring the B side (or the Micro USB side) of the cable so that the wire is connected to both Pin 4 and Pin 1. If so then I made a make shift one at work today and just need to solder it. Please advise if I have done anything incorrectly. I would also be interested in purchasing a factory cable from you, Prokennexusa, just in case I need it in the future or if I mess up on making mine.

Demo Kindle - Please Help

Hi

Please excuse ,my ignorance but I am struggling to get my kindle fire to work with the software I downloaded. I followed every step in the instructions and all seemed to be going well until I actually attempted to do anything with it.

I got the demo kindle from a shop clearance but cannot get the demo mode removed. I have a factory cable and the kindle goes into 'fastboot' mode with the cable but doesn't seem to behave any differently after the software states it is complete.

I have included some screen dumps of the messages I received, I apologise if I am just being dumb but I am lost?

I would be quite happy to just have a working kindle...I don't need android on it if this makes it more difficult......please help

Thanks in advance

Root or reload KFHD 8.9

Were you able to root or reload the DEMO unit to a regular tablet?

I have just purchased an 8.9 unit myself and have not seen anyplace for sure if these units can be reworked since ADB is not enabled.

I have a kindle hd 8.9 demo, I do not know if this tool will help
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galearned:
I was able to get the demo 8.9 loaded with the regular Kindle software but, with a slightly different method.

I used Soupmagnet's restore image LINUX script that flashes a pre-rooted 8.9 Kindle version 8.1.4 image to the kindle using fastboot.

http://www.adrive.com/public/xvZeWC/KFHD8.9.restore.zip

While the rest of the demo unit is shut down, fastboot will work if the script is executed prior to plugging in the tablet.

The script will set waiting to see fastboot (waiting for device).

When the tablet is booted up, it passes briefly thorough a fastboot cycle and the script will catch it and keep the tablet in fastboot (pretty much as the KF 1 does). The script then loaded version 8.4.1 and success. You can then download the latest Kindle OS and loose root and be back to a stock configuration or continue and push 2nd bootloader, twrp,etc. and or new ROM.

Success of course depends on having the USB and ADB drivers loaded on LINUX (Using Soupmagnet's soupkit will do that for you).

You will have to try the soupkit again package and see if it will work for you. This package is intended for all kindles I believe.

I had all the drivers loaded using the first soupkit package and the drivers worked to see and communicate with the 8.9 tablet.

Original Soupkit:

New "Soupkit Again"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162986

However, I installed the new "Soupkit Again" package over the first Soupkit package and while the drivers still work, I lost all access to the Soupkit utility itself (which is not used to restore the 8.1.4 image to the Kindle 8.9). A little off topic, but, I would like to know how to get my Soupkit utility back working. (The soupkit.sh script is missing after installing the new "Soupkit Again" over the original Soupkit).

My phone is bricked, My backup is corrupted and I have almost a years worth of data on my phone such as all my scores and coins from games and downloads and picturemail and unsaved phone numbers. Can someone please tell me if it is possible to get any of my game data off of the phone before I wipe and put a new ROM on it?
[HTC EVO 3D] MrJyrks:
What do you mean, bricked? Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions?
[HTC EVO 3D] Crocluvr92:
If I wipe the cache and check fix permissions wont that erase my data? Check out my other post by the way, it should be above this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Umm no, wiping your data would wipe your data.

Umm, have you read the forum rules? There is no need for THREE threads dealing with the same problem....

Also, going through your other thread, you say the phone is stuck on the Sprint screen. Well, if you read the FIRST line in the thread of the fix you were trying to do, it says "THIS IS FOR METROPCS USER WItH EVO 3D NOT FOR SPRINT USERS!!!" I'm no genius, but that could be why it's bricked.

And lastly, if you made a backup with Clockwork, then all your data is there. You can always extract it. That is why you make backups.
[HTC EVO 3D] Crocluvr92:
First of all, I am using a flashed phone with Metro PCS and I am using a stock rom for sprints Ice Cream Sandwich, so naturally its going to use the traditional sprint loading screen. Second of all, I backed up my data with Clockwork mod and when I went to restore, I always get an md5 checksum error and I looked into the back up folder and it was set to backup using the .dup file extension rather than .tar I dont know if that matters but what I do know is, there was no nandroid.md5 file ever created, just the three image files and the .dup file and in the backup folder and I guess since it was using .dup format, it put the bulk of the data in blobs folder, because that folder has 1,141 folders in it with a large amount of data. So if no md5 file was created, why would clockworkmod ask for it in restore? why has no one told me how to disable md5 checksum? I have downloaded a nandroid md5 file offline, edited it with note pad and made sure there were no spaces in the folders or file names and made sure to create an md5 checksum with RapidCRC ro assign its checksum to the right images and put it in the back up directory and still nothing works. I am sorry to be so desperate, but I work from home and need my phone, and I have been with out one for almost half a day. I dont have a car, I live in the stix and if something was to happen to me I would have no way of notifying anyone in time. So Im sure you can understand how I have come to this point in desperation and I just need help getting my phone to work! I can and will abide by the rules but the situtation I am is not good and I need some good answers and have been geting the run-around all day so can you understand that?
[HTC EVO 3D] faiyo:
Last idea for u: 4ext can restore clockwork backups. My 4ext backups are in the clockwork folder (even though i never had clockwork). Just flash 4ext and they will show up. Try that

BTW if remove the checksums 4ext will continue without them

since Flashplayer isn't supported, it's going to be hit and miss. Some sites will work, some won't.

I don't use the stock browser. I use Chrome mainly. When I need flash player, I've had decent luck using Boat Browser. Dolphin supports flash player well, but I couldn't get it to work on the GN2. There's some agruments with Dolphin excessively tracking your information or browser habits, but I haven't kept up on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] w7excursion:
Dolphin did look at other unrelated apps info. I emailed them and they wouldn't respond. Anyways it's not the sites it's the browser. Either it works or it doesn't. Enable flash in the settings file of dolphin if that's what you use. I would imagine it's the same for most browsers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
For me, Dolphin crashed every time I tried to open it. I never loaded on the TF700T. It has been a few months since I read about the Dolphin debacle.

Boat has worked for my needs, which is to use Sirius's radio internet radio via web browser since I'm a grandfathered life time member with limited internet radio access; I'm not able to use the Sirius app without loosing my no extra cost internet access.

I'm using PA roms on my ET4g and GT10.1 and use Nova Prime launcher on both. Love being able to hide the status bar on both, makes it look nice and clean.

Here's my main screen on my Tab. I have Nova Prime setup so when I double tap anywhere on the screen the status bar and notification shade drops down.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i havent noticed the volume bug in a mean minute. but voodoo louder fixed it for me when it was running rampant, without distortion while volume+ and whatnot made it louder, but with crappy quality

i think i havent had it since i switched to paranoid android a while back. but know i run PACman rom and i know for a fact i dont have the volume bug. though i do still use voodoo louder over volume+, though thats just my preference

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
I've been following the developer of ParanoidAndriod rom on Google+ for a few weeks now and this was just discussed a few days ago.

For what I've read the status is visible in most apps because the app its self calls it when we open the app. The developer said it may be possible to bypass this but... Then the discussion started to go way way over my head.

But what I gathered... It has to do with a lot of coding and scripting with in the the framework of the rom. So I think it would take more than the launcher to achieve.

But... I just flash other people's roms and know and understand just enough to do that right and safely so...

Hi guys,

could you please help me recover from a -non very smart- action I have performed and stack in the familiar white background with green htc...

I was using HSPL4 trying various custom roms. Once I 've decided to load

_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_ELL_1.48.482.4_Radio_Signed_15.28. 50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship through SD card (LEOIMG.nbh) the device stuck on white background+ green htc logo. When I enter to the bootloader, I read

$$@c HX-BC (instead of PB81100 HX-BC)

SPL-1.42.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

The result is that all attempts to load ANY rom, ship or custom fails. I believe that my attempt to go to an original rom, overwritten COTULLA's HSPL boot-loader back to the protected defaults. (most probably in language ELL, sourced from Vodafone)

When I try to upload any rom I get "incompatible device ID"

Only HSPL (one) completed with "we 've hacked it" and then the device reboots back to white screen. Boot loader remains the same.

All other versions of HSPl (2,3 and 4) fail. Same with wipe task 29

Also tried to load through SD. Some roms stick to "loading" some othes fails with "68002"

I 'm just a step behind JTAG-ing my phone (but I 'll leave that for my last resort)

any suggestion will be appreciated.

thnx.
