[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicanomaly:
For me, it feels very dangerous because I keep reading about bricked Kindle Fire HDs in particular, especially those running 8.4.3, as well as some issues caused by trying to root it. If the device is bricked beyond repair, then I lose everything on it that wasn't an Amazon purchased app or book, but especially my progress in those things -- nearly seven months' worth, by now. So it's dangerous to my tablet, and even with messing with drivers I feel it's slightly dangerous to my computer. After all, I've never once done this and I have no clue what I'm doing. Sometimes, the instructions feel way over my head.

I'd guess the how/why it's dangerous is, in this case, caused by a difference in skill level.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidIt!:
There's always SOME risk to rooting, but I've been rooting for years and found the key is to take your time, do not rush, give yourself a whole day or two in fact if it's your first time. If you don't feel comfortable with it I would say don't do it then. That is completely your choice, just do whatever you are comfortable with. I will say that out of the dozen or so devices that I've rooted and over about 5 years I've only ever had one brick but that was because of a bad battery and the device ran out of juice right in the middle of rooting. As far as the drivers go, your computer already has a ton of drivers on it, adding a few more poses no risk at all. Just thought I'd share all that with you, you ultimately make the choice, just read all you can and then decide if it's something you want to do or not. That's it :D

Worked perfectly fine on my kindle fire 2 (non hd) 10.4.3!! tyvm! you the man!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Updated!

Ok i just released a update with the linux version included, haven't had anyone test it but it works in terms of the process automating the modifying of the files, and the push and pulling part should work even more so easily than in windows so i don't think it really needs my testing to say it works. Please feel free to test it if you are on linux. I also added a safety fix that may fix what i believe may have caused some initial bricks after release. I didn't realize that some people actually used too much space on their data partition, and as a result if the file didn't finish copying i believe it was overwriting the framework-res with a corrupt/incomplete file. I have now since told it to use the sdcard because its very unlikely u have less than 32 mb of space left on it. This should also fix another bug at the same time that people were having with permission errors trying to push the modified file to the data partition and getting a permission denied. I have not had this bugfix tested either that i included so i need someone to post if it works as well, as i said before i now run cyanogen and i haven't got the latest adb command for linux handy, nor do i want to mess around with cyanogens framework because i haven't looked at it to see if its the same, and i don't know what exactly xml starlet would do if it tries to output a xpath value that didn't exist before. Anyways give me some more feedback and if i stop seeing bricks i will disable the extra debugging text that it is outputting to make this look less complicated...

Thought I would mention i have plans of adding more error checks to make sure every command is completed successfully that way it wont continue unless each step has a good exit status. It will clutter my script adding those lines to everything but i will do it so people don't get confused when it says successfully completed when it failed.

Note: as always the update is on the original post on what is usually page 8.:D

Hey, just wanted to thank stunts513 and all the other developers for the hard work ! I'm still having problems with the whole not having notification bar and still not getting any wallpaper. As far as I know the script went well through all the steps. Anyone else getting this ?

Using a KF2, 10.4.3.

So what's going on over hear at the wall paper fixer thread. Have you finally found a stable fix. Seems like its calmed down over the last few days.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Well it seems to have stabilized I think, I had one reported brick on another thread, but I don't know which version he had of the script. Someone else is having problems with it on that thread but its something with their pc not wanting to recognize system commands. I'm guessing either permissions issue or virus/rootkit.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamfoxhound:
I used version 4 and version 5, both times it runs through the script then says not enough memory or something like that. it boot loops.not able to boot into the kindle fire os. i can fix it by quick boot and reflashing system files.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Any chance I could get more details from the command prompt window? It shouldn't be running out of memory unless u have either put a lot of stuff in the system apps folder or have like less than 33 mb of free space on the sdcard. I am planning to add some safeties in case this keeps happening but I don't know the windows exit status code that adb would give under these circumstances. O wait unless I'm going for specifics I don't need one, duh just use if error code equals 0 echo else goto xxxx. I'll have to add that in this Friday, if I have the chance since my dad brings his work computer home then.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Drax:
stunts513, I ran your script on my 8.9 running 8.4.3 with Go Launcher HD. It ran to completion. I was then able to set a wallpaper. Strangely, though, scrolling wallpaper only works when the tablet is in portrait mode. When I rotate to landscape mode, the wallpaper displays properly but is no longer able to scroll.

To investigate further, I ran the standard Android gallery.apk under both 8.4.3 with your patch and 8.1.4. If you look at my attached screenshots, you can see the difference: in 8.1.4, I can select a region larger than what will appear on the screen (the highlighted area is how much appears on the screen, the outer rectangle is what appears when you scroll). In 8.4.3 with your patch, I can only select one screen-full. Portrait mode scrolling just happens to work since the selection has to be wider than one screen-full to support landscape mode.

Is scrolling wallpaper working correctly for everyone else, suggesting that I did something wrong in the installation? Or am I the only one who uses scrolling wallpaper? :confused:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamfoxhound:
the error I get is

cp: write error: no space left on device

then the kindle says protocol has stopped working and resets. and it goes into a boot loop.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK if I remember correctly the line that uses cp is when it backs up the original and when it transfers the modified one off the sdcard, so either way you don't have enough room on your system partition, if u added multiple launchers to the system folder maybe deleting spare ones will free up enough space, otherwise u could disable the backup sequence on the kindle by adding rem to every line in the backing up process.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamfoxhound:

anyone know if some of those folders are deletable? kindlefirstaide may have added more than I needed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I shoulda said more specifically the system apps folder, that's where u might have a few other launcher installed like go launcher or adw or nova, something like that. Don't just GI deleting stuff off the system partition or you'll end up needing to reflash your system partition from fast boot mode. Only delete apps you made system apps like launchers or maybe some other app that may have gotten put there randomly with another program. I think titanium backup bad that option to make apps system apps. Anyways I'm starting to babble now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rugged96:
I have no idea if this is related but i'm having trouble retaining the "fix". I keep losing my wallpaper and as of now i can't seem to get it to return. I've tried to re-apply the fix but to no avail.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K6TJS:
Worked like a champ. Thanks for all your hard work. I now have Go Launcher with Wallpapers on Kindle Fire HD 8.9 LTE :p
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK for live wallpaper you have to install the actual live wallpaper picker, using something like kindlefree is easiest way. I had problems after doing that though myself, the button in go launcher HD wouldn't work for live wallpapers so here's what I did, I went to the Google store, and found a free app called live wallpaper shortcut. Use that and it should let u set it as long as you installed the live system wallpaper picker app.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech6:
I have lie wallpaper pick in the system app folder. I also re-installed live wallpaper.apk through kindlefree, nothing. The live wallpapers show up but when you hit the set wallpaper button it shuts down and goes back to the black background.

I am going to try your script. I haven't done that yet. I am also going to install GoLauncher. How do you delete the launchers from system/app. They are untouchable. The controls are grayed out. You can't even delete them from Kindle's settings menu, the delete button is grayed out. I tried changing the name and even removing them from system app but they won't delete. Thanks for the suggestion.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Use es file explorer and goto its settings menu, choose root settings and enable system partition in write mode, then you should be able to browse to /system/app and delete the other launcher apk's you installed. Oh and for reference I'm referring to the version of es file explorer before last update to new ui, idk where that option is in that version because I got rid of it, liked the original ui better.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech6:
Ok, because I have ES Explorer 3 and I don't see that selection. I did try your script for the wallpaper fix, but kept getting the message:

error: more than one device and emulator. I thought it was maybe talking about abd so I deleted ABDSDK and re-installed and the script came back with the same message. I also have the changes to PATH for ABD done.

Also, I tried using the repair option for framework from the script, but the software returned indicating it couldn't find the path to the software on my computer. So, I'm not sure what has happened. Here's the message I get when opening it now:

When you place the 2nd bootloader and TWRP on the Kindle does something change on the device where you can see if it actually installed?

I don't think its possible to use live, I wasnt able to as well
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK to techs first post, those weren't really errors, I just make my script try to cleanup the files it created and pulled from the device in case the script had been used before, so those were just reporting that the files it was trying to cleanup weren't there. Second I don't know what went wrong, but it may have been an error that I'm making safeties for to prevent, I'll work on finishing that tomorrow so it will have less risk bricking.

Another note, I had live wallpaper working on 7.4.1 before I flashed cm 10.1
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Threw another update out there with a few safeties, but i think some of the safeties are duds, if so i need to find a workaround to transfer a variable over from the kindle to the pc via adb, in which case I'm going to have my hands full telling the kindle to write a variable to a file and pull ti to the pc for grepping or awking... least that's the only idea i have had so far, only fix i added that i know will work is if it tries to push the file to the sdcard and your low on space it'll notify u, but that's unlikely. Sorry for this release being not so great, but i said i would release an update by today, and had planned on releasing one sooner, and so i thought id say take this and roll with it until i can check out the rest. Update is on page 8 as usual.

Script Update

Thanks. Stunts. I tried un-bricking my device over the weekend without the factory cable. Luckily, after reading the forum I ordered one in case I bricked my KFHD. So now I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can see if I can un-brick it. I will try your script again once I get up and rolling. Thanks for your efforts.

So, sorry to call the information returned from the script as error messages. I didn't mean to imply anything. I reported the info in case you might wanted it to do an update and also for others in case they were going to use the script.

However, I must say I did try it with and without TWRP. Without TWRP is what bricked it. I had to see if that would be the case. :) With TWRP I had no luck with getting live wallpapers. But, I will place TWRP and the other file( which I can't think of now) back on the next time I try your script. :) I do appreciate your efforts and the fact that you don't mind answering questions here in the thread. You're a good guy. Thanks a lot. :)

My Update with Wallpaper Script

The first time I used this script, my Kindle HD 7" became bricked. I had not installed 2nd bootlogger or TWERP. I had to wait for the arrival of my fastboot cable to get back to normal.

Today, I rooted and installed Hashcode's 2nd bootlogger and TWERP. I again tried the wallpaper script to no avail. Before trying that, I had installed KindleFree, LiveWallpaper shortcut and LiveWallpaper.apk, still no live wallpapers. They show up, but the moment you hit the settings button they disappear and I'm back to a black screen.

After using this script, I got one message about not enough space left or memory full something like that, etc and then after restarting, my KFHD will only boot into TWERP. No matter how many hard resets I do.

So, I tried running the script again and received the following messages:

Can't find c:\stuntswallpaperfix\newframeworkres.apk

Can't find c:\stuntswallpaperfix\resources.arsc

The system can't find the files specified

Also included \sbin\sh: su: not found

Back up successful. Congrats should function. Press any key to continue...at this point the software shuts down

Afterwards the KFHD 7 reboots into TWRP. At this point, I can't get out of TWRP.

Any suggestions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yea i recently found out the adb in twrp is limited to adb side load command, though from what u said it sounds like adb shell works as well. If u wanna try to fix it from command line u can peruse the bat file for the filename until I check, but basically su is unneeded in twrp and thus the command is failing.The command you will have to run will look something like "adb shell mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk.old /system/framework/framework-res.apk", that may be the correct filename, I am unsure offhand I will have to check. Anyways not sure if running this directly will fix it, don't remember if twrp auto mounts the system partition in write mode or not, I will tinker with mine to find out when I get a chance. If all else fails u can use the system image restore utility in the dev section, but if u have adb shell access in twrp then that would technically take longer when u could run this. If adb shell is working in twrp I will add a new option to my script (restore in twrp shell).

Oh and I almost forgot about you mikkoman, I am so sorry for the long wait for an answer, for some reason I thought I posted a reply to your question. Lemme find the disable ota link and see if it still works. Here's a link to kffa it apparently can do it for ya here's the tut. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086450

I am still working g on a method to make my script safer, I find it odd it is telling you it is out of disk space and then continuing, I will need to check what is going on with that, also typically my script shouldn't warn u bout low disk space because the stuff I implemented, the only one that I think would work is the low disk space on sdcard, and I seriously doubt anybody has less than 35 mb left on their sdcard. I will work on this this weekend, but I'm trying to apply for a job and I gotta finish my résumé before the job listing is taken down. Never made one until now because I didn't see myself needing one until after college.

My Update with Wallpaper Script

I understand about that job business. Congrats on your college graduation and good luck with your job hunting. Instead of waiting for you, I have elected to restore my Kindle HD7 for the third time. If your script is updated, I will try it again. I have a NookHD 9" with live wallpapers, etc on it and it's killing me not to have the same on this KindleHD7.

I did try copying all the text while installing your script, but was unable to do so because when it finished, it stated to press any key to continue and in the past it would go back to the selection area, but this time it just closed on its own. So, it made it difficult to gather more info for you. I tried remembering some of it and write it down so you would know what was happening with my installation. I use the most up to date TWRP 2.6.00 recovery and freedom boot 7.4.3 from Hashcode's thread. Maybe after I get back up and going again I will try it and take better notes. :)

I appreciate you looking into this when you get the time of course. :)
