ONLY FOR TRICKDROID ROM (AS FAR AS I KNOW)

This work in progress theme is a port of my 5UBZ3R0 Theme for ASOP AKOP CM10 ROM's found here: JBlundon's Themes.

I missed my theme after upgrading and while waiting on a stable non-sense ROM I took a stab at making something for Sense 5. I really like it so I figured I would share with you all.

THIS THEME WAS MADE FOR ClockworkMod Recovery but if you want to use TWRP follow these steps

It is based off of hd2neuling's Full blue theme as a base, so huge thanks to him for that!

IMPORTANT

This theme is created to work with Kiray1982's Dark / Inverted Sense MOD FLASH THAT FIRST and then FLASH MY 5UBZ3R0 THEME

Am on viper rom 1.04 tried to flash and got stuck in a boot loop... Does this theme work with viperROM!?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
Sorry man, it's built for Trickdroid ROM, not sure if that works on this device but I thought I would share as some it may work for some people who are more informed than me :D

I do stress backing up before trying the theme in the OP just in case :good:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] reynoldsrobbie:
I'm on Sprint and running your theme on top of Trickdroid. Very nice so far.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] reynoldsrobbie:
Just realized that my icons and clock on my status bar aren't blue like the screenshot. Mine are white. Is there a setting or anything that I need to find?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JEANRIVERA:
can i flash this on international HTC ONE?

actually i just did and it works, i did a nand backup first just in case... but so far so good nice graphics mate i love the theme!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
I change the clock color with TrickDroid Tweeks built into the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
Op can you compile a list of roms this theme works on, as people test and report?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
I will for sure, so far it's only built for TrickDroid but may work on others. If users report it working on other ROM's I'll gladly add the list.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Heelfan71:
my phone, text, people icons are still green and not blue. Just wondering if I should reflash?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] reynoldsrobbie:
I can confirm it doesn't work on viperROM. Goes into boot loops. I love the theme though! Any plans to expand to different ROMs?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
Thanks man! I will check it out and see if I can get it working on other ROM's ASAP.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
Hmm Trickdroid?

Where is that rom from?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
It's in the International Forum, I know it doesn not work for ViperRom but I'm looking into it :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
I assume you're on Sprint and using Trickdroid? Is everything working ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
Good question I would like to know too
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] johnblundon:
I'm actually on a Canadian Bell International Version using Trickdroid... Not sure the difference between the devices. Sorry I can't be more help.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Drackyen:
I'm running the stock ROM, rooted, and just with a few mods (back button menu, 1% battery, remove ATT bloatware).

Whenever I make a change to the host file at /system/etc/hosts, after I reboot to apply, it's been reset to the 60-byte default host file, wiping my changes out. Yes, I am mounting /system R/W before making my changes. It doesn't matter if I remount /system back to R/O before rebooting, the file still reverts. Even if I set the permissions on the file to read-only after making my change, it still reverts.

Is there anything I can set to make my modified host file stick? Or is /system always reloaded?

I do see that the Cognition ROM has writable /system as one of its features, suggesting that the stock ROM does something like this with /system.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
There's a kernel mod you can flash over on the international side that disables the stock kernel protection, or you can flash one of the custom kernels that have no such protection.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Drackyen:
Thanks.

Flashed Cognition ROM and my host file stayed modified after a reboot. May have been more heavy-handed a change than required, but it worked.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] timgreen123:
:laugh:use root explorer to make the host's file will be read only and try again

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rebelduke:
This guide/tutorial was extremely helpful to me as a novice, just starting how to learn to modify my Fire HD 8.9". I'd like to suggest a few changes/enhancements to the guide:

1. In the NOTE paragraph just below the first paragraph you mention issues with 8.4.1. specifically you mention issues with this release but there is no indication if these issues will prohibit successful update if the guide is strictly followed. Also, a cable is mentioned. In other posts I have seen references that indicate that no cable is necessary with the Fire HD 8.9". In fact, one post mentions that using a cable may, in fact, possibly damage the Fire HD 8.9".

2. Because I'm so new at this I'm very paranoid about making a mistake. I've read the horror stories in many of the posts and I'd like to avoid these mistakes. And because I'm so new, my only experience is with the 8.4.1 release and unfortunately it is so new, I suspect, that the developers have not had time to verify that their applications are compatible. I am not complaining since I know that 99.9% of these good people do this out of the goodness of their heart, and not for monetary gain. However, I do wish this issue of software release version could be more fully addressed.

3. Just an example - The heading clearly states that this guide applies to the Fire HD 8.9". Very clear and difficult to misunderstand! In Step 3 Installation, FireFlash is mentioned with no reference to a Fire HD operating system release number. Can I safely assume then that this utility is compatible with 8.4.1? It may be that the answer would be obvious to a more experienced person but to someone like me(and from reading many, many posts there must be a bunch of folks out there just like me), with little experience in flashing, rooting, etc.,I'm at an impasse regarding should I proceed or not proceed Thank you..
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
There will have to be some changes to the method to install boot and recovery on both 8.4.1 and now people are receiving 8.4.3 all the present methods will break the system, unless you have a Rom waiting on your sdcard to flash afterwards.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
I am aware of the changes, but I have not been caught up with the status of the methods and their effects on the tablets. I have placed warnings at the beginning of the guide.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
I have two questions about Step 2 for backing up files.

1. Is boot0block.img ever needed? It looks like it is backed up, but it isn't referred to in the restore step (fastboot commands).

2. The "adb pull" commands don't work for me. For example, this error message displays: "remote object /sdcard/stock-boot.img' does not exist". But the files are definitely there.

Sorry about asking about 2! I was actually putting the brackets around the local folder, but I realize now that you only had them to indicate that parameter was optional. However, the error that was occurring before wasn't about the local file...it was about the .img file which did exist. I'm baffled because now if I put the brackets back, it only fails with an error about that, not about the .img file. I realize I'm not making much sense, but I can't reproduce it so that it says the same error that I first mentioned above in 2.

I'd still like to know about 1 though. Thanks.

EDIT: I did Step 3 - Installation. I booted into TWRP and did a backup. I assumed that I did not have to do any wipes or install of any other rom yet, i.e. I just wanted to boot the existing 8.1.4 rom that was already there. However, when I "reboot system" from TWRP, it goes into TWRP again instead of booting up the rom.

I tried doing a restore of what I just backed up, but the result is the same. So does this mean I was required to do the wipes and install of another rom, rather just booting up my existing one? Or is there some other step I'm missing to make it get out of TWRP?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Boot0block is backed up in the event something happens to that particular partition somewhere along the way, you will know if it does no wifi ect. Shift plus right click inside the folder that adb is located, select open command window here. Run all your commands from that cmd prompt. It will pull all those files to that folder location. Since you will know what folder it is to be pulled to this portion of the command can be omitted [C:\KFHD8Backup].
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
I realized more about the format of the 'adb pull' command and posted late last night. It's in my post above your response. Thank you for answering. Also, it's good to know about what boot0block is in case something fails later.

I also added another question there, wondering about why I can only boot into TWRP, not the stock rom I already had installed. I'm pointing that out again now, just because you(and others?) may not have seen it in my EDIT above.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Do a full wipe and flash a Rom.zip. Now you will need to

adb push Rom.zip /sdcard/

For obvious reasons just don`t wipe your sdcard ;).
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
I can do that. But I'm curious to know why you're recommending this. Is it because I had problems booting up the old 8.1.4 rom and you just want me to try some other rom? Or is it that you know that what I did will never work, i.e. using FireFlash with the boot and recovery images and two checkmarks will never allow me to boot into the original rom?

Just "for fun", here's what I see when I try to boot. Times are approximate:

orange 2 seconds, blue 8 seconds, orange 30 seconds, totally black screen 2 seconds, orange 1 second (kind of flickers), blue 3 seconds, TWRP comes up.

My reason for wanting to do this is to "prepare" for going to CM10 (or other) "soon" but not quite yet. I'd like to keep the original rom for now and not wipe any data. Maybe this goal is impossible?

Thanks for your help.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Your system is broken for some reason the present method just does that. Flash Hashcode`s 8.4.1 zip. Disable OTA`s with kindlefire FirstAide or Free your kindle http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072198 or even Soupkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162973 . YOU MUST WIPE. Wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, flash Rom.zip disable OTA`s before enabling wifi or you will go in circles.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
Thanks, Thepooch. If I have to wipe anyway, I may as well just go to CM10 now. The main thing I wanted to know was whether I had done something wrong or whether what I tried to do (i.e. not install a new rom and just boot into the original rom) cannot be accomplished by anyone. I think you are saying the latter, right?

I appreciate all the help you've given me!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Well you got a free thanks so make sure you hit mine as well. I don`t believe you did anything wrong but I really could not tell you for sure. I have been stuck just where you are a couple times and I know I did everything right. Others I have helped became stuck the same way because Amazon has been diddling around with the boot for the last three updates. I can only assume that some encrypted part of the framework is running a stack check resulting in the system appearing broken. So yes it would be best to have something to flash before starting this process.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
Thepooch, it helps to know that you and others ran into this. I did read posts that were similar, but I never was sure if anyone found an answer or knew what went wrong. This is a friend's Kindle that she got in December. I got it rooted for her back then, and I did whatever was necessary to not get OTA's. So it's way back on release 8.1.4. So I don't think Amazon's last 3 updates would have any bearing on this. But who knows! Again, thanks.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
You will have issues rolling it back that far, just saying there are changes that likely if not done properly will leave you stuck again. My suggestion is to flash 8.4.1 then create a solid backup when booted normal giving yourself a safety net in the event of a mishap.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] sga999:
Thepooch, I'm not sure if this is interesting to you at all, but I experimented a little and learned something. As you suggested, I flashed 8.4.1 and decided to try an unusual step.

After I used Fire Flash yesterday and booted into TWRP, I immediately created a backup. But it turned out to be no good in the sense that restoring it did not help me fix the problem of not being able to boot into the 8.1.4 (old) rom (I could only boot into TWRP). But now that I was on 8.4.1, I did a restore of ONLY the data from that old 8.1.4 backup. It seems fine so far, except for Google Play app, which just exits as soon as I execute it.....it's not a big deal to fix that. (There may be other issues, but I haven't hit anything else yet).

So....it seems like something is bad in either the boot or the system portions of the backup. It's probably system since it has framework, which you had mentioned might be causing the problem. Again, this may not be interesting, but I thought I'd let you know.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
Makes sense google play rarely works from my restored backups and your system was in good shape if you flashed the 8.4.1 zip prior to restoring data.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] edumazieri:
Hi I need some help.

KFHD 8.9, non-us user, but bought at amazon, i am unsure of the exact version.

ADB worked ok, device showed there. BUT "fastboot devices" didnt really show anything at all. Still I went ahead with it. Rooted using bin4ry, qemu did not work at all, permission denied error.

I did everything up to the point of flashing the freedom-rom and twrp through fireflash. It did not have 8.1.4 bootloader, so I checked the box, checked the other one and left all else as is. It seemed to flash ok. Then I rebooted,,, and its stuck on orange kindlefire logo, forever. doesn't matter what volumes i hold. tried rebooting and everything.

Now I dont really know what to do... any ideas?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] dwcasey:
Getting errors trying to install the drivers from the QEMU zip file, so no device ( sdcard ) access from recovery and the Advanced...sideload option is not working either.

I'm on windows 8, when plugging in the KFHD89 to my laptop, I see the kindle show up, but I have the yellow explanation sign. When I try to update driver software, i get error it can't update Windows ADB.

Between windows 8 and ubuntu, I've been able to get fastboot working enough to get all the files loaded...but for the lift of me !!! my copy of CM10.1 and gapps.zip are not seen via recovery...AND...I get stuck at Blue boot logo...so I'm sort stuck in recovery and need to get drivers sorted between windows and/or ubuntu so I can copy the .zip files over.

Install 2nd bootloader and recovery on 8.4.6

I just received my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 yesterday and it's already on 8.4.6.

I googled a lot and read a lot of threads, but wasn't able to find a reliable, confirmed How-To for installing TWRP 2.6.0.0 on my kindle.

The latest 2nd bootloader I could find is still on version 8.4.3 and there are many reports about bricked devices from people using FireFlash with and without the option to go back to 8.1.4

So is there a reliable way to install TWRP or any other recovery on a rooted device running 8.4.6 ?

Any help greatly appreciated!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Thepooch:
I have seen little to no discussion about there being any issues with 8.4.6 for the installation process set out here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175 as long as you place the files on your pc for restoring back to stock if there was an issue it should be entirely reversible in the event there is a failure. It is always good to have something on your sdcard to flash in case you become stuck at the logo like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2142241 . As with anytime you attempt to modify a device there is always a risk. Follow all instructions to the letter, miss no steps. If there`s an issue restore partitions as directed via fastboot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Tronar:
So you're saying that it is definitely within the intended parameters of the people having created the files to follow the procedure that includes installing the old 8.1.4 bootloader (kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin) and an older kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img, even if your system is already on 8.4.6?

I know that there is always a risk involved when rooting your device and then exploiting the subsequent freedom on your system.

Still sometimes little differences in version numbers can make a HUGE difference in the outcome. Either because in this case for example amazon purposely closed some holes or maybe just because of tiny differences in the code leading to an incompatibility. Or because an update updated other stuff in passing (like a baseband or something) and as result that particular thing can't be downgraded anymore.

So before I start messing around with the wrong file version and brick my device in the process, I just want to make sure that and 8.4.6 system can be started from the tandem consisting of an 8.1.6 bootloader and a 8.4.3 2ndbootloader.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
The guide works as long as you have the 8.1.4 bootloader (provided in FireFlash), the stack override (also in FireFlash), and the TWRP recovery image. There's no such thing as 8.1.6 bootloader or 8.4.3 2nd-bootloader. Those with fastboot knowledge should reset their devices to 8.1.4 for complete compatibility.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Tronar:
You are saying there is no such thing as a 8.1.4 bootloader or 8.4.3 2nd-bootloader. Then why are the respective files named "kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin" and "kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img" like in this thread for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175?

And more important: if I fully downgrade my Kindle from 8.4.6. to 8.1.4, which features or enhancement do I kill this way? I guess amazon has tried to improve some things or introduce some new features between 8.1.4 and 8.4.6. Or were all the releases only created by amazon to make rooting harder and close some of the security holes?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
I wrote that there are no such things as the 8.1.6 bootloader and the 8.4.3 2nd-bootloader. Installing the 8.1.4 bootloader in no way crashes the device, as far as I know, anyway. The freedom-boot image works with 8.4.6, no problems there.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Tronar:
Ok. Thank you. And which features or enhancements do I lose by downgrading the Kindle OS from 8.4.6 to 8.1.4?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
You won't be able to find a changelog anywhere. Each update brings minute features. You're going to flash a custom ROM either way, right? Why else do you want the 2nd-bootloader and TWRP.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Tronar:
Primarily to be able to do a nandroid backup from the recovery level with TWRP without having to type several adb commands.

And to be able to easily try out different custom ROMs. But if I should decide to stick with the original amazon ROM I would like to be on the latest release. Especially since a downgrade would mean I would have to re-install everything I have already installed on my kindle without getting the benefits a custom ROM might potentially offer.

But thank you for clarifying that there exists no such thing as a changelog for the different amazon releases.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] j37hr0:
Thanks. It took me a while cause I'm terrible at following step by step directions when the steps are implied. Eventually figured out where I was messing up, I was missing the part where it says to use the factory reset option in TWRP. and I was stuck on a spinning CM logo for a while, but all is well, I have a non crippled Fire. Thanks seokhun, Hashcode and everybody else who has worked on this.
