I was in the same situation: last Amazon update = no wallpapers

Changed the boolean, fixed it manually, it worked, but... the Kindle was a lot slower than before, and the status bar disappeared (it only appeared for a second in the case of a notification).

I felt like I had an OCD. If I have struggled trough this for a cosmetic detail, I'd do a lot more to restore the performance.

So I just wiped everything and ran the KFFA downgrading tool. It all wen't back to 7.2.3 and factory settings, so I rerooted it and disabled OTA updates before ever connecting to a wifi. Installed my apps again, put a custom launcher, wallpapers and live wallpapers worked perfectly, and no lag.

And I must thank a lot mr. pjeby for writing down his discovery and proccess, and mr. stunts 513 for guiding me step by step on how to push correctly the file.

confirming latest greatest

Hi. Rooted my KFHD last night...just want wallpapers to work. Using ADW Launcher EX since before root.

I am using Mac OS 10.6.8.

Is the page 8 script (Stunts_Wallpaper_Fix_v2.08.zip) going to work for me or no?

I backed up with Titanium Pro to Google Drive, and do not want to brick my tablet.

thanks

I don't have much experience on the matter, but this is how I see it:

- Stunts wallpaper fix is the easiest option. Just plug your kindle and run the .bat

There've been people who said it worked, and people who said it bricked their device, so it's kinda a matter of luck. However, stunts513 did add a lot of measures to prevent bricking in latest versions.

- Changing the boolean manually works 100%, it may be safer because you know exactly what you're doing (or you should), but press wrong one button, and you have a brick, so it's harder because you need to actually learn some stuff.

HOWEVER

Both of those may leave your kindle a little slower than before.

- The easiest and safer solution, for me, is doing a backup of your files, use KFFA to downgrade back to 2.3.4, root, disable OTA updates before ever connecting to a wifi, and install/copy apps and files back. This will restore wallpapers and the kindle won't become slower.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSLoppy:
Well, first of all I've been reading these forums for 24hrs straight.

Additionally I am on Amazon OS 7.4.3

Before doing anything, I just want to have a backup akin to nandroid backups with my phone. Of course, right?

Well, I downloaded Rom manager from Play store and hoped to just use Clockworkmod recovery for backup (to my computer HD since no SD card?) because I'm familiar with it since it's on my phone.

That said Unsupported device.

GooManager to try TWRP instead. No recovery for device available.

Now I'm looking at this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

...which says to first use Fastboot and downgrade to Amazon OS 7.2.3 by running Kindle First Aid which apparently is a 20-step process unto itself... ...which first has to be updated and links yet another thread.......ALL of which is Windows PC based.

Really?

No one click options here?

No Mac OS (linux) instructions / GUI methods?

I understand if not, but I keep finding prerequisite step before step...and can't imagine all that just to backup my Kindle so I can futz around just to get wallpaper pictures!?

You see where I'm going?

Anyway, your suggestion:

"The easiest and safer solution, for me, is doing a backup of your files, use KFFA to downgrade back to 2.3.4, root, disable OTA updates before ever connecting to a wifi, and install/copy apps and files back. This will restore wallpapers and the kindle won't become slower."

is appreciated, but I seem to be stuck at square 1 "doing a backup of your files" .....

Feel free to give up on me, but I guess I need a little hand holding here.

Thanks

Eh this wasn't exactly designed with macs in mind, because of the very limited bash commands they come with if I remember correctly, you can try it though I don't know if the included Linux binaries will work, I mean technically they should be compatible in architecture sense, but a mac os works nothing at all like a Linux os. u can try it but u might need to install bash or something, I have no way to test on a mac, haven't hardly used one since highschool, only one I have runs os 9.2. Though technically you can boot a Ubuntu live CD on a mac, just burn the disk reboot with it in and hold down c. Used to do this at school to get around security some times. My school was fun to challenge security, one of the teachers was nice enough to tell me the admin logon for all the new macs since I was her aid. Crap I started rambling again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Newer Macs come with Bash by default, along with any built-ins that Bash would normally come with on a Linux system. The syntax is generally still the same, but some of the binaries may have reduced functionality compared to those in Linux. Depending on the script, the biggest problems one might face is making sure the Linux adb binary is switched out with one for Mac, and that the sh'bang at the top of the script reflects the actual location of Bash on your Mac. At first glance, I don't see anything in the script that would throw an error when running it in a Mac, assuming the previously mentioned caveats have been addressed....but I could be wrong.

[Edit:] Of course, you would need apktool installed, working and added to the $PATH, and I'm not sure of whether or not there is a version for Mac. But then there's that whole issue of compiling....

On second thought, it probably wouldn't work anyway
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK since your a mac user try seokhuns tut for twrp, just make sure u check the box at the top of the program he says to install or you will have a red screen brick and need a fastboot cable.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

Also if u can't get your hands on a mac version of adb, just do what I suggested and boot an Ubuntu live CD, it leaves your mac os untouched and let's you do stuff you need to your kindle through some of the utilities here that were ported to Linux scripts. Also wanted to mention this from prior experience though its outdated experience so I no longer am aware if it applies, but if u use Ubuntu live CD and you tell it to shutdown or reboot and your screen garbles with tons of corruption, don't freak out, just hold the power button down. Happened to me on 10.04 LTS at school once... Was just some weird issue in the kernel I guess.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSLoppy:
Thanks all. Have adb and fastboot installed...copied them to /usr/bin therefore already in path.

Going now to check out seokhuns tut for twrp...thanks again.

EDIT** 2nd Bootloader and TWRP all good! Backup complete. Thanks you all rule.

Now......How do I do this Stunts script ....?

Edit: finally got pxe working right again, now I accidently wiped my 80 GB drives' partition... It was a secondary drive with 75 GB of games and such on it... *cries* hopefully my data recovery software can fix this.... Least none of my kindle related stuff was on it.

Windows 7 64 Bit

While trying to use your script on my Windows 7 64 bit computer, I encountered an error claiming my machine wasn't compatible because it only worked with 32 bit, any one else encounter that error as well?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I'm researching that error still, keep in mind I just reformatted my PC so it will take a little while before I will be able to.

Edit ok i have no idea whats causing that error, i have my dads work laptop till tomorrow, so while m pc is trying to scan for recoverable data from that drive i wiped, i decided to look into it. The awk command is working fine on my dads 64 bit windows 7 laptop, and the only thing i can guess at is maybe u need the 32 bit version of the visual c++ redist. i thought the 64 bit verison did the same thing but was more native but at this point im at a loss, this laptop already has the 32 and the 64 bit version and i really don't want to reinstall it right now since its late and i have to have this pc back in his room soon, but my only advice is to try installing the 32 bit redist if u have awk problems, though that one problem referring to a 16 bit app. i have no idea if that was awk but none of teh commands i have should be 16 bit commands, 16 bit is like dos or maybe some windows 95-98ish commands i believe if i remember correctly. Ah 16 bit error was in a pm i got about it so if everybody is wondering what 16 bit error, thats what i'm referring to.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rednival:
My issue could be a compatibility issue. I have tried it on my laptop (Vista x64) and netbook (7 starter x32) Yeah I know they are old, but that's what I have right now. I also get the 32 bit notification on both.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Odd could you run the debugger and post the log it out puts? Just read the instructions on the post wit the fix on it for how to use it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rednival:
I don't seem to be able to run the debugger. I run the fix and it says press any key to continue and I do and the window closes. When I run the restore it says that file previously stated is not found and it cannot restore. I run the debugger as instructed and I get nothing. On Windows 7 starter I get a windows illegal operation message when I run the fix.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If you get nothing when running the debugger that's a good thing... No one reads its instructions... In order to pipe all the output of my script into a text file I can't display the data onscreen, just use the blank window in the same manor you normally do when you run the usual script and when it eventually has error if it doesn't close then close it yourself or wait around 5 minutes before doing it just to make sure since you can't see if it has errored out, you will find a debugging text or log file in the wallpaper fix folder afterwards.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It still works on all of them, though u may get a annoying message saying you are low on disk space on the system partition. I will fix that issue on the next release. Note nothing is broken for that error to appear, it actually is preventing the device from getting bricked. On that note I plan on releasing that update tomorrow that got delayed. Sorry for the huge delay but it literally took me 3 days to recover the data I deleted. Now I'm just reinstalling things, so I can easily work on the script in the meantime.

Update released!

Ok so i threw together an update in between breaks of letting my pc install all its software again. This release i believe will fix the issues that alot of people have had with their system partition too low thanks to the backup it was creating. I now put the backup in /data/local, now this was used instead of /data/local/tmp because i have seen users having issues where they didn't have a tmp folder or the permissions were messed up, so i just used the local folder instead. If it gives anybody issues i might look into chmodding the folder within the script or something. Anyways feel free to test this out and post your results. And because i'm in a good mood here's your link to the original post where u can download it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75

Now i just need to look more into that 64 bit error which is difficult since i don't have any 64 bit pc's available to test it on very often. If anybody has issues with it on 64 bit and is willing to let me use teamviewer to follow up on it please post or msg me, thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychoTR2:
Now that the issue with the system partition being too low is out of the way, I need to ask before I try the new fix: If I get the 64-bit error, and the program continues past it and finishes without doing whatever the incompatible program does, is there a possibility this will brick my Kindle? Will it break or will the mod not work? When I ran the program for the first time, I did not get the 64-bit error, but I ran into the partition error. So, I tried again and THEN I got the 64-bit error, and it threw me some other errors, like "this file could not be found," but continued until I got the partition error again. So, without the partition error, I assume the program will probably continue until the mod is applied, 64-bit error or not?

Some other side questions, when I get the partition error, is it okay to try again after a reboot of the Kindle, or are there other steps I should take before trying again (I tried 3 times, with no apparent damage to my Kindle)? Plus, is there anything I can do about this as a casual user, such as running the fix in compatibility mode, installing 32-bit Java, or something along those lines?

Sorry, I'm new to the whole Kindle modding scene, so if I sound dumb, please forgive me.

EDIT: I just realized, perhaps after getting the partition error or due to some other error, that awk.exe no longer has an icon, and went from 345KB to 1KB. Also, when trying to run it on its own, I get the same 64-bit error on THAT one and not any other exe in the batch. So, there may be an error in the program that corrupts awk.exe, and that is why the error appears. Like I said, I didn't get the error until the 2nd time I tried the program, and a fresh awk.exe (version 2.08 with its full 345Kb and icon) ran without an error message. Has anyone else noticed this trend? So, if the program works correctly only the first time I run it, is the fix riskier now that the partition error has been averted, since you said that it prevented bricks? Or is that a nonexistant risk since the backup is in a local folder as opposed to the system partition?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
This version shouldn't be any riskier than the last, only part that might be risky is the restore function, but I'm not positive. The system partition checks are still in place in case you still for some reason are low on space. As to the 64 bit issue, it sounds like maybe the file wasn't compressed right or decompressed right, maybe that's why it was a 1 KB file. Also I don't think the 64 bit error would mess anything up, it would just send a smaller unmodified version of the apk to the device. Probably should make note use the restore option on the old version before using the new version since the directory changed, only if u for some reason still have a backup.

I rooted my 7.4.6 version and ran stunts 2.09 wallpaper fix as directed. It doesnt restart kindle and it says at the end of the program "can't remove system/framework/framework.res.apk.org no such file exist. Also tried debugger and it didnt respond to any input.

Live walpaper and adw wallpaper do not work. Thanks for working on a solution.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
OK first off that error about can't remove a file, that just basically my script making sure it cleans up after itself, if those files are there, then great, if not, no problem, that error is more like a notification, probably should have not unhidden it when I made the script more debuggable after the first release. Also the debugger responds to input you just don't see it, because I piped the output to a text file, it doesn't show up on the command prompt, yes its annoying I know. You basically run the debugger and in the blank window do what you normally so to start the process minus looking at the screen, then give it 5 or so minutes and close the window, afterwards there should be a text file in the folder.

On another note I have been working to replace the awk command with findstr in the windows version since so many people are having issues with it acting like a 16 bit app and crashing. I think tonight I finally fixed that issue. I'll post an update tomorrow if it works, it probably will fix 2 problems that my script had with some people, but I'm not positive on the second one since I need to double check the old syntax, anyways hopefully my next release is a decent bug fix.think I can also remove the c++ redist message and dependency check now that I'm not using awk.

is this script safe for kindle fire version 7.4.6? has it been tested on it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It is safe, though the 2.09 version may not work, it will probably give you an error about the system partition being to low and it will abort. You can try it if you want though, currently I am working the bugs out of version 2.1, which is much more likely to work.

Um well my wallpaper fix is designed to work on all versions from x.4.1 up, so the current version should work, the problem people are having is with awk not wanting to work on all windows PC's for some reason, 32-bit or 64-bit alike. Anyways I am almost done with the update. There was a stupid bug I couldn't work around that was messing up the most important safety in the script, so I had to find a new method to implement that safety, which I believe I finally have, just have to fix a few syntax errors, and get starstremr to test it out for me before I release it.

Note: the only bug in it is that i had to temporarily disable a safety check on the sdcard for disk space while i work out a method to ignore it if the sdcard has space available in gb. This is like in 99% of the cases not going to be a problem, because most people don't use up all of the space on their sdcard, you only need about 70mb free total on the sdcard to run the fix.
