[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Technogen:
I had the same issue, what I did was put the back up image I made back on, whole works. Then did ALL the steps over again including freedom, now I'm back to a working CM10.1. I had no way of pulling any logs off the system to see what was going on to figure out the issue itself though.

Hello Hashcode,

I am setting up the android kitchen. Lot's and lots of downloading. Anyway, is it required to download android's Master branch then the Cyanogen Mod or can you just download the Cyanogen Mod.

Thanks

One thing I noticed is that when I hit the volume up button for the first time it pops up the warning asking me if I want to raise volume above the safe levels, even though it's at mute.

Bluetooth still doesn't work after update, even though the OP says in the features:

Would have a logcat but there is no developer options in the settings...

EDIT: WiFi doesn't work either. Wiped data, cache + dalvik cache. Clean install.

Found developer options. Here's a logcat for Bluetooth:

And someone already found the fix for WiFi, so I don't see the need to post a logcat for that.

Got around to upgrading to 4.2.2. Everything working fine

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Slimepuppy:
KFHD 8.9 16GB

Both the initial build (20130202) and the latest (20130227)(4.2.2) have working WiFi. I didn't install 20130225(4.2.2) so cannot comment on that build.

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm10.1/

No change to Bluetooth with 20130227 - while it appears that I can activate the Bluetooth radio, and select the option to make the KFHD visible, the Fire cannot see nearby Bluetooth devices, and cannot be seen by those devices.

I'm not worried about Bluetooth, though. As soon as there's audio, it's going to be difficult to find a reason to go back to stock 8.1.4.

Beautiful work, Hashcode - thank you!

Other than the fact it works? It has the changes Cyanogen, but nothing else as far as I can surmise.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fungflex:
Yup, this new build is just CM10.1 fixes, no device fixes. Still no sound, but since I use it essentially as exclusively a comic book reader so for me its perfect.

I get that feel on any non-SAMOLED screen.

Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fungflex:
See I totally disagree on that one, to me SAMOLED screens are way to warm and over saturated, so the IPS LCD displays feel more accurately colored for me. But really, at the end of the day its sort of a personal preference, I always lean towards IPS LCD panels versus SAMOLEDs.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] kalel90:
Yea except this time hes actually right i just compared it to stock and its def. a bit washed out but im not sure how that could be fixed.

Also can anyone confirm auto-brightness is working? On mine it doesn't seem to be.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dredre2017:
I know Hashcode is hard at work on this rom, but the wait time is killing me, especially with not much updates on progress. I've been following his Twitter account for awhile now but it seems he might be a little overextended. To have pure jellybean on my fire I would gladly donate but this Kindle OS is killing me with frustration. I don't want to' but, I'm starting to consider an infinity even though I love my kindle's size and build quality. I'd just like to have an idea when we could have a full working rom so I'll know if I should hold off.

Hash has a lot on his hands (he works on a LOT of devices) and I'm sure he'll get to it when he gets to it. If you cannot wait then by all means switch to a device with an avid ROM community ;)

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ant178:
I feel the same way but he seems to be working on a ton of other devices. It sucks because he's the only dev working on cm 10 for this kindle device. We can't really complain, we aren't paying for a service nor does he owe us anything, he's using his free time to help out the community, I am just grateful.

The wait time does make me want to give up on this device all together though. This device has some decent specs but its nothing too amazing. I acquired a 64gb, 4g blacklisted version for dirt cheap, it's about to be put on cl or traded for another device because stock amazon is just rubbish.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gabgabgab:
I'm really looking forward to a CM10.1 with working audio. There are so many JB features I need...

If the bottleneck is missing devs, we could think about putting some money together and sponsor an 8.9"?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
OR...

We can do our part to give back to the community and learn about how to do these things ourselves and contribute to the cause using our newly found knowledge...

ah, nevermind...it'll never work.

I think I'll just wait.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gabgabgab:
Sure, everyone should give back to the community - in the most efficient way. So far I have very basic knowledge of Android (as the KFHD is the first device I really own) - I worked with it a little bit during a school project. It would take me a while to get to the point where I can help a dev solving problems (e. g. with drivers). There are many people out there that already have more knowledge - because of work or because they have a better understanding of UNIX systems in general. That's why I think the most efficient way for me to contribute to the community is by non-monetary donations.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
All I'm saying is if you're not at least trying to learn in such a way that you will eventually be able to contribute in a way that can benefit everyone, and you are happy to just sit back and benefit from others' hard work, then be happy with what you get.

I am just giving you hell BTW, and my remark wasn't only directed at you, but it does get rather annoying to see so many people lose their patience over something they were never really intended to have in the first place.

Just my two cents...take it for what it's worth.

I agree this build is great. Audio is a no brainer, but honestly, other than that, it runs great. I don't use bluetooth and even when I skype I never use video...just audio so I'm ok with that. I too needed the audio though so I went back to a stock rom.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] i286:
Hi from the land of OZ. I have looked at all the requirements for my tab use in car and due to the width restrictions for my application I am limited to the Kindle HD LTE version (need gps, bt and 3g/4g as well as highest DPI achievable all at the same time).

I have read through the entire thread and I see there is not one person that appears to be using the LTE version of the kindle and even development may be hindered for the LTE version.

I would just like to voice my support and request to not stop the dev for the LTE version :)

I hope to get it mine in Australia by this month and will be able to provide notes and testing once that happens of course.

Thanks again and great work :good:

Ran into a bit of a strange issue on my device. Went to update to the latest build 2/27 and I had an issue where wifi stopped working. I tried reflashing back and I got myself stuck in a handful of boot loops.

Ended up going back to stock temporarily and am using Nova / and old school Android market with decent results, but I will gladly retry this build when the next update gets pushed.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] timnan:
This happened to me when I jumped from the previous 0202 build to the latest 0227, then I restored to Amazon stock under fastboot mode and reflashed to 0227 based on Amazon official. It runs very well now. I don't know why I got stuck from 0202 to 0227. At that time I can not even use ADB mode but thank god fastboot is still good.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arnold88:
Hey Hash code, are you still there? Been using your latest build from the beginning. Please don't forget us - only missing sound. Thanks for your work.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Couldn't keep myself from flashing CM10.1 - All went as expected following the threads found here and here (this thread).

However - 2 problems:

ADB stopped working - Yellow ! in device manager

WiFi wont turn on.

So - I'm a little dead in the water here, until I get ADB working again...:(

Anyone else with ADB problems (who's found a way to fix it)?

<edit>Well, of course - So used to using ADB to transfer stuff to/from my devices, I completely forgot you can use good old Windows drag&drop to copy previous (cm-10.1-20130202-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip) version to the Kindle and install that instead. And wouldn't you know - Now both WiFi and ADB works. No shadow over Hashcode, but there's something not 100% ok with the 0225 build... </edit>
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Slimepuppy:
Glad you worked through the update! You're right - there is a problem with the 0225 build, at least with regards to WiFi. Hit Hashcode's link and install the 0227 build - WiFi works perfectly.

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm10.1/
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
Thank you - Yes, that was a better experience. Wifi and ADB working nicely. Also, Play Store seems to be much more kind to this build than to the 0202 version.

Coincidentally, 0227 is my birthday, so I consider it a personal gift from Hashcode to me ;)

Now, once there's audio (and BlueTooth!) I'm more than satisfied.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Slimepuppy:
Happy birthday!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll put out a new build soon with some minor updates:

1. (CM updates obviously)

2. I rebuilt the current KFireHD 8.9 w/o mobile data support and it seems to be much better on the battery (I know there's LTE users out there, and we'll setup a jem-wlan device just for you at some point). I was seeing large amounts of battery usage by telephony type stuff (probably looping).

3. I AM still working on audio fixes, but I decided to take a quick gander at the camera and see if it was an easy fix. Right now it's about 80% from working, so I'll probably do the new build once that's good.

4. And I can probably get HDMI going if I put a little more effort into it. But it seems like I should be spending 100% of my Kindle time on the audio issues... we'll see.

Amazon releases new bld. 2nd bootld doesnt work with it

I reverted back to the Amazon build, which then did an OTA to a new build. 2nd boot loader won't install correctly with it.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
What's the new version? Had no problem on 8.1.14, but I guess that's starting to become somewhat long in the tooth.

I believe it's 8.3. I put the 8.1.14 back on using fastboot and my backup images - I want to be able to load the CM10.1 when it gets sound. I tried to see if that OTA is still there but get nothing. Did a Google search and it came up empty.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Slimepuppy:
Thanks for the heads-up - yes, it's 8.3.0

ill check out the ota if I can find it.

Edit: downloaded the OTA manually from Amazon so I can parse through it, and I'm grabbing the new source as well.

Will update later on bootloader changes.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I can confirm that the 8.3.0 software update has patched the security hole which we use to bypass the locked bootloader on the KFire's.

I believe we can still flash the old 8.1.4 bootloader as the signature should remain valid (DONT TRY THIS JUST BECAUSE I SAID IT -- PURE THEORYCRAFTING)

However, this does add an additional step to my instructions for the 2nd-bootloader. And makes a fairly complicated process a little but more complicated.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arnold88:
flashing back to 8.1.4

Just to confirm, I was able to flash my backup images 8.1.4 from 8.3 with no problem using fast boot. Everything is working normally. Like most others, I just need audio in CM and then its goodbye to Amazon ROM.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Were you getting a red screen when you tried to load up the 2nd-bootloader w/ the 8.3.0 software?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Is it going to be possible to make a flashable zip like you did with 8.1.4 that will allow upgrade without harm to recovery and bootloader or is their security patch deeper than this? If these are the only improvements why bother.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you can unlock the boot loader, you can do *anything* to your tablet starting with fastboot.

Learning to install drivers is a Windows issue - the skills needed to analyze & resolve driver problems have almost nothing to do with what device is attached to the other end of the USB cable.

Toolkits are a crutch for avoiding learning a very small number of skills; if you don't want to learn those skills, probably you shouldn't be rooting.

Throw away your toolkit and read the fastboot thread. The whole process is far easier than you think.
