[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
I put together a restore package/script for the KFHD 8.9 to help another user dealing with the same problem, but it is version 8.1.4. It has all of the necessary partition images (including 8.1.4 bootloader), and checks the md5sums of those images before installing. It will restore your device but it will be up to you to figure out how to get back to 8.3.0, if that's what you really want to do.

It is rooted, of course, and already has GPlay installed, ads removed, and OTA disabled, but does not have TWRP or the 2nd bootloader included.

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

Using Linux, put the device in fastboot, and just unzip and run the "restore.sh" from its location.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Thanks a lot. This saved my day.

No I don't want to go to 8.3.0. I want to install TWRP and finally want to switch to CM10.1. After restoring using your recovery images it is automatically trying to update. I'm worried if it will be upgraded to 8.3.0. Let me see.

Thanks a lot once again.... This recovery image is the most essential tool for tinkering.

If i can get a package like this for the CM10.1 that is waht I would say easy installation.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
That is very interesting. I tested it on my own device and neither I nor the person I originally made that kit for has had an update or anything of the sort. If you're still getting updates then I'm at a loss for how to completely stop them.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
It started the upgrade when I entered the amazon credentials for registering the device. I canceled it and retried the twrp install and it worked.

So now I have twrp and nothing else. Then to instal the Hashcode's cm10.1 I used the adb sideload two times. First to install the rom-zip file and then to install the gapps-zip.

So now I have functional cm10.1 kfhd8.9". Thanks for your helponce again.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Ah, that's why...I never registered it. Good to know.

Do you need to be rooted in order to install this bootloader?

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ryanb4614:
Hello. I just received my kindle fire hd 8.9" software 8.3. I was trying to see what I can do with the device. I am very new to tablets. I did a root with the binary tool which went great... Then I installed KindleFree which automatically installed google apps, Apex Launcher, SuperUser etc.

I figured I can just do a factory reset and everything would be gone. Well its not. The super user I still listed along with the other google apps, market place, etc.

I want it back to the factory state. How can I achieve this? I tried following the instructions on here but I cannot get anywhere.

I open CMD:

adb devices

Unrecognized command.

I do not have this directory:

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools

I downloaded: Android SDK and run the setup nothing happens.

I have windows 7

PLEASE HELP, i just don't want to brick this tablet and have it back to how it was!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] apd:
Are you running the ADB commands in a command line from the directory where the sdk / adb is situated (android sdk usually installed to windows 7 in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools where USERNAME is your account name) or have you added that path to the Environment variables? If not, your computer won't be able to find adb
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ryanb4614:
Well now I have a brick device. I just want this back to stock, how it was when I first opened the box. I can get the fastboot mode screen up, if I do not go into fastboot it just stays on the ORANGE kindle logo. My computer also is making a sound like normal when I am plugging it into the USB to my computer but is not showing up under "my computer" HELP!!!!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lizzord30:
Sorry this is slightly off topic but when you make the image backups is their a way to backup the data partition also? If so what is the command! Thank you!!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
You'll need a partition on the device large enough to hold the image. Considering the data partition is the largest, it probably won't work ;)

You may be able to use adb to pull the contents of your data partition and create a disk image from that, but because of its size you'll never be able to flash it in fastboot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
That's due to improperly installing the stack file Soupmagnet has a easy fix for it but you need to run Linux on a live USB. Your not permanently bricked so relax. Keep it powered off till someone can help you fix it like me or Soupmagnet if you can catch us online
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] lokadero:
thanks for the detailed tutorial although i had many problems as i had no experiences with adb.

i first tried to get 2nd bootloader using kindle firstaide after losing root with 8.3.0 update but that got me to red wipe screen.

then i used that program to restore to 8.1.4, then came here to try this manually.

i skipped loading 8.1.4 bootloader thinking i already have 8.1.4 restored, so why should i.

i got red wipe screen again.

well, i did not skip the 8.1.4 bootloader process this time and finally got it.

CM10.1 is great!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] irsmurfette:
Where to put files...

I'm a total newb. I have no idea where to save this stuff so that the commands actually work instead of just telling me the files can't be found. Sorry for being such a newbie newb.

Finally got cm10 installed after using soupkit and finishing with linux to get TWRP and cm installed. Tablets never looked so gorgeous
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rha_december:
I've followed the instructions word for word... like 3 times, and every time I keep getting into a loop and it keeps booting into TWRP :(

Use fastboot to restore your saved partition images (8.14 bootloader, stock boot.img, stock recovery.img, & stock system.img), then try again
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DesignGrits:
I am stuck on

"STEP 4.5: APPLIES IF YOU ARE ON SOFTWARE VERSION 8.3.0 OR GREATER"

because when I run cmd with the following command while the kindle is off and then connect usb and I reboot it, the device does not seem to go in to fastboot.

"fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin"

I have Android SDK installed with all of the tools and android 4.2.2/4.1.2 packages installed. I also am running cmd directly from the "sdk/platform-tools" folder where I have all my files.

I am running windows 8 with a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 on 8.3.0 firmware. I am currently installing the SDK on another computer with windows 7 to see if their is an issue with the OS but I doubt that since I have used cmd for rooting other devices.

Any tricks on getting the device to fastboot so I can flash the bin and img file?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
You have to first issue the command before connecting your kindle to your PC. Once the command is issued it will wait for the fastboot device. Then you connect the device (which is in switched off state) to PC.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DesignGrits:
I updated my post. I had it disconnected from the kindle before, I then powered off the device, ran the command, and then connected it to kindle....kindle auto boots and goes to lock screen....cmd still says "waiting for device"
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jeevas.v:
Frankly speakly I never used windows in any of my personal computers since 2006. The first thing I would do as soon as I get a new PC to liberate it:) . coming to your problem, yes it looks like a windows driver/permission issue. If you have non win8 PC you can easily try living distro like Ubuntu. You need only he fast boot binary. No need of the full SDK.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DesignGrits:
Just finished trying window 7 compute and it didn't work either. I read here "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217299" that these guys were able to verify this process for downgrading to 8.14 but after that I would still need to flash the freedom boot and recovery. I might have to take it to work with me or something and test on another computer over there. So weird, I have debugging enabled and unknown sources.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
USB debugging and "unknown sources" has nothing to do with how your device receives fastboot commands. What are you using to install your drivers?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DesignGrits:
I just did a search online to find them and install them.

Hey guys i have tried a lot of custom roms and have been unhappy with either their performance or battery life or both! In some of them my phone gets heated, some of them my bettery doesnt charge, some are so laggy. So i wanted to ask whether there is a rom for me?! :fingers-crossed:

I use my phone typically for music, camera, calling and texting (whatsapp), and i need a lot of battery life as i am not at home at all!

The roms i have tried:

Alliance, Asylum, Cassies, CM9, CM10.1, Criskelo, Epsilon, Jellybam, Kingdroid, Liquid smooth, MID team, Nexus, rocketrom, slimbean, MIUI.

P.S. : I have also tried the stock! It is not at all good! :silly:

Please help me out! Thanx a lot :highfive:

ICS or one of the custom JB (leaks based)? I prefer TW roms, dont like CM (due to lack of features)

TW ICS - custom: CleaNote, Alliance ICS final; stock: XXLRT (or DDLR9 is the same but for india),

TW JB leaks - My top 3 are: Alliance xxlsc, BurtRom and GloryRom

I use Alliance xxlsc since it is realeased and for me it is the best one (it requires minimal effort to adjust it for yourself, but when its done, it is just amazing). Other two are also great roms, but i like to use rom on 240dpi, and robbie has realease that mod, so i am sticked with alliance

Important tip before/after flashing new rom:

Flash safe kernel, be sure to wipe cache, dalvik, data, then go to advanced and format: cache, system, data, preload , then flash your rom.

When you flashed new rom, dont install thousand apps (because that some of the apps will for sure cause the wakelocks and battery drain)

That is pretty much it, I always go with these steps and never have any problems with any rom, everything always work as it suppose to work. For me choosing the rom is only matter of personal taste

hope that helped

Hey guys,

This is my first thread in Dev section.

Sony has released their new phone finder service called My Xperia.

Its still in beta. And the this service is working only for acro s.

But don't worry its coming to every Xperia smartphone.

Its only available in Nordic countries (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries ). :p

We have to be patient until it comes to every Xperia smartphone in every country.

Here is the link to the website. -

https://myxperia.sonymobile.com

We will get an update option in our

Stock ICS

phones

I Request developers to put(mod/port) it to ROM's.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Amanoo:
Dear developers,

I recently found my old i9000. It had a bad accident some time ago, and its screen is completely busted. There appears to be damage to the motherboard as well, which was why the repair centre considered it a total loss. It still boots, though, and woke me up some time ago with a preset alarm, so I expect the internal damage is actually minimal. I suspect I can still use the the phone for something, maybe a server.

Thus, I would like a ROM that by default has some method of input/output apart from the touch screen (perhaps VNC, and I believe there are settings to allow you to connect the phone to a TV using the sound plug, that + USB mouse would also be cool, or if you can come up with another solution, just as long as it works, it's good). I would also like to be notified of some way to preload wifi settings into the ROM itself (mostly in case an Internetttechnology like VNC is used).

I assume I can use Odin to actually flash the ROM (thus allowing me not to use screen input for this process). It doesn't matter what method is used to circumvent touch screen input/output, as long as it works.

If someone could make such a ROM, I would be very thankful.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MisT.:
this is not the right place to post this.

Also, if it was as easy as your saying, we wouldn't need developers. What you can do is sell it for whatever price it gets and buy a raspberry motherboard. Which is exactly what you're asking for plus an HDMI port.

http://www.alliedelec.com/lp/120626raso/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Amanoo:
I had hoped it would be easy for someone who was more familiar with custom ROMs. I have no idea what goes into it.

I do have 2 Pis, BTW, I just like reusing things +my i9000 would be better suited for a purpose I had in mind, due to being flatter and already having wifi. I guess I hoped for too much, then.

Hi

Got my digitizer replaced and the new one is unresponsive in either cwm or aroma. It works after it boots up.

(haven't tried it with twrp yet but I'm pretty sure that doesn't work either)

What do you guys think? Is it because of a s***ty digitizer?

Another thing is if I let it boot not touching the screen untill it goes to sleep it becomes unresponsive so that I need to do a battery pull.

If I unlock it right after the locckscreen comes up, it works fine...

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firecode95:
It can by digitizer fault but it can bee your phone fault, for example my atrix digitizer become randomly unresponsive until it die (at that moment I think so) then I buy new one and it too don't work, but it can bee so I take magnifier and start look at cables an found microscopic crack. In picture red dot.

So first check your cables and reinstall recovery.

LE: Strange enough TWRP is working! It's most probably not a hardware thing...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firecode95:
You can try to reinstall your ROM, make factory reset, clean caches but if the glitch still exist then I think it is PDS fault. You can try to recalibrate touch screen but make PDS backup before any changes or you can completely kill touch or brick your device.

P.S I think that TWRP is the best recovery.

Hi all,

I've been using my Samsung Galaxy W for quite a while now, but have only recently given any serious attempt at setting up the phone's 3G connection. I have entered the correct APN data for my provider - using Telstra after unlock - and all settings are correct, as I was initially successful in getting a data connection. However, I ran into an issue when I shut down my phone. Whenever I start the phone back up, I get a glimpse of the 3G icon in the message tray, but after Media scanner has done its thing, that 3G icon then disappears. Initially I could no longer connect via 3G, no matter what settings I fiddled with.

Eventually, I found that the only way to fix the error was to dial *#*#4636#*#*, access the phone info menu, and then to manually enable the data connection. Even more confusing is that when I hold down the power button, my phone states that the data connection is already, and always was, enabled. My packet data is also on... and the phone has not put itself in flight mode. Also, as I said, the APN settings are definitely correct.

Does anyone know why I must manually enable the data connection whenever I restart my phone?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
