[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan1155:
I want to root my 8.9.

I have prepared everything to root it with the KFFirst Aide method. Before I want to start, my Kindle have updatet to 8.4.1.

Do the KFFFirstAide method work on 8.4.1?

I`have all the necessary data already downloaded and adb and fastboot works with option 16.

Can I start the root process without probelms with this method?

I want to install playsore and perhaps later twrp recovery.

Rooting Fire HD 8.9 on 8.4.1

I can't answer the question regarding the KFFirst Aide rooting utility but I can tell you that using the Bin4ry tool on 8.4.1 does work. I'm now looking for a method to install TWRP 2.4.4 in conjunction with 8.4.1. If you have any ideas let us know.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan1155:
now it has been updatet to 8.4.3:(

i don`t know how to root...

shall i try bin4ry tool?

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebelduke:
I also was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I did not lose root or the Google Play Store download/install capability. Bin4ry ver. 30 worked for me to root 8.4.1 and as I've stated, I did not lose root after being upgraded to 8.4.3.

Could someone please post the link to the thread on the latest Binary root method for Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Thanks
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbutz:
hi!

link to Binary

I strongly recommend soupkit, a Linux-live-system based installer. After installing it on a usb stick and booting from the stick you have everythink perfectly set up. I rooted with Soupkit in < 30 min!

Soupkit

For those rooting for the first time, I just rooted my KF HD 8.9 with the Root Many method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

The Qemu root method did not work for me. I did make sure to install and test the ADB drivers first. I rooted both 8.4.3 and 8.4.1. I was OTA updated right after rooting 8.4.1 :eek: I intend to prevent any more OTA updates with Droidwall.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FraDiavalo:
I tried doing the SoupKit method but I'm having trouble with the ADB. Rootplus couldn't detect any ADB in the folder even though it's there. As for the Binary method, I tried doing it for several hours yesterday but I can't get it to work. What should be the first steps before I use the Binary root program? Sorry, but I'm really such a noob at this. My Kindle btw is 8.9 version 8.4.3

KFF will root both 8.4.1 and 8.4.3.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbutz:
the binaries provided by soupkit are for 32 Bit. Maybe you used a 64 Bit Linux installation? (Tried 64 Bit at first and it did not work, with 32 Bit it worked like a charm)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I had a look at LG GearBox for Optimus 4X application source code and saw that it uses functions in com.lge.systemservice.core.jar file which is located in /system/framework folder.

Since this application does not work on JB, I thought I could find similar functions for JB in other jar files of the framework and copied the whole framework folder to my PC and tried to baksmali/smali com.lge.systemservice.core.odex file.

These are the commands I tried: (I have the latest versions of smali and baksmali)

java -jar baksmali.jar -x -o .\out com.lge.systemservice.core.odex

java -jar smali.jar out

The first line works OK and creates the smali files but I need to put them back to an "out.dex" file with the second line so that I can use dex2jar application to turn the smali files to java .class files to read the source code better. (dex2jar works on dex files, not on odex files)

The second line does not work and outputs lots of error messages.

Is there any developer out there who has ever done this operation to reverse engineer framework odex files?

A second question: Do the source files for the framework exist in the source code of v20A which is on LG Open web site?

My questions may be a bit complicated but I'm sure they will mean something to those who have worked with these tools.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
As far as I understand, nobody in this forum has had experience with decompiling Android applications.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arararagi:
Have you tried specifying the framework path on the baksmali line?

I've never got errors from running smali before.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] arararagi:
Does the error on the smali line go away if you specify the framework path on the baksmali line?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
No, it doesn't.

Can you try to baksmali and then smali the file I specified in the first post?

By the way, thank you all very much for the replies.

I am working on Windows. Are you on cygwin or Linux?

Anyway, thank your for the attached file. Now I will try dex2jar on that.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] arararagi:
Linux, but it's all Java so it doesn't matter. I'm using 1.4.2.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I used dex2jar on the dex file you provided and unfortunately it does not contain the functions that LG GearBox for Optimus 4X uses so I think I have to look elsewhere.

But the file contains a class which contains functions about bootloader unlocking.

I have not followed the bootloader unlock discussions lately but I think it may help somebody to better understand how it works.

The file is attached to this post.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I'm also using 1.4.2 version of smali and baksmali.

In theory yes, it should not matter since it's all Java but I tried the same commands on cygwin and it worked without any problems.

On cygwin, I could use the smali and baksmali scripts provided along with tha jar files. I don't have time to investigate why, but with the scripts it worked flawlessly.

Thank you very much for the enlightment.

./baksmali -x -d ./framework -o com.lge.systemservice.core ./framework/com.lge.systemservice.core.odex
./smali -o com.lge.systemservice.core.dex com.lge.systemservice.core
[LG Optimus 4X HD] postacik:
I wasn't aware of Virtous Ten Studio until you wrote here. Thank you very much.

It is a great GUI which uses baksmali, smali, dex2jar, apktool and signapk under cover.

Hi everyone,

I just did a flash of Cyanogenmod9 (Domination) and im getting full bars, but I cant do google seaches, or access the gps. Clearly im there is something wrong with my connection. When I look at my settings I see full bars, but beside it it says "No internet connection".... very puzzling. The wifi does work perfectly though.

Just looking to see if anyone else got this issue.

Tried live usb, live cd, and hdd install of ubuntu 32 bit 12.04.

Tried different roms and made sure fastboot was off, debugging check on and no lock code.

It will reboot to bootloader but the ADB part fails.

Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
I had the same problem and this worked for me, might not for you. My problem is caused by easy tether client installed on my laptop so when I plug in my phone I have to do this

1. Turn off development settings

2. Turn it back on

3. Check the use debugging box

4. Run adb from command prompt

With the other method it does break hot reboot, I don't use it so it doesn't matter to me, also the method can be done right from terminal emulator, just follow the same command but instead of typing just revone you need to type revone.bin

My initial problem with device and moonshine was resolved by flashing stock rooted Rom, then everything worked fine. Completed and restored from backup. Think the issue with phone being seen and flashing was noted on the site somewhere that stock kernel was recommended or required.

I used the newest live cd 13 I think, the more stable and without all media crop version had bad wife drivers for me. I downloaded file, copied over only adb and fastboot to folder, though they would not see device, also don't think needed, then continued. Made sure debugging was turned on, also updated to latest. 35 supersu (don't think this had anything to do with it) only other difference would be computer hardware. It pissed me off for a while until I loaded vipers stock deodexed.

Good luck :sly:

I was getting the same ADP error. I talked to support on IRC, they said viper 1.1.0 is not supported for moonshine. Suggested doing RUU to go back to stock. In which case you would have to nandroid your rom, backup contents to computer. Relock phone, RUU, unlock phone again, moonshine, flash recovery, restore nandroid. I might wait till next release of viper rom to s-off.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
I DID MINE WITH MACKS ROM, IF YOU HAVE A STOCK ROM NANDROID JUST RESTORE IT AND TRY AGAIN.watch your downloads on moonshine so you get the right firmware version for your rom, they were reversed fuses was notified, he might have changed it by now but check for sure anyway.

ADB CONNECTION FAILED - SOLVED (My issue anyways)

I kept getting ADB connection failed every time I tried to use moonshine and I finally figured out what the problem was. No matter how many times I switched the USB file sharing mode from HTC Sync to USB it kept switching back to HTC sync after it rebooted. I had no freakin idea that my changes regarding this weren't persistent! So anybody who's getting this error message be sure to double check that; hell, uninstall HTC Sync manager FROM YOUR PHONE would be my suggestion. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hello everybody

Today I had me a horribad accident and ended up spilling coffee on my KFHD7. at first it seemed fine once I wiped it down, which was within 5 seconds. Then it went into fastboot mode and stayed there, so I shut it off. I put it in some rice for a bit to try and suck any moisture out, but now I've tried it again and it won't turn on, or respond to normal charging. I plugged it in with my factory cable (thanks SkOrPn :good:) and the screen just started cycling different colors; red, blue, white, etc. so i shut it off and jammed it back into the rice. anyone have any advice, other than maybe give it a little while? I just got cm10.1 running like a charm, and I was lovin' this thing. thanks all for any help :)

update: thanks to the jump start from the factory cable, its turned on again, although its not ready for active use. i think a few more days in the rice is a good call, since i saw a bit of a water mark on the screen :cool: but yeah. i recommend rice in this situation to anybody

*aosp*

For anyone who likes as light as possible: you can go into system/vendor/srec and clear out anything past 1mb. Also, you can delete system/usr/folder that contains face unlock information. Mine was named PittPat for whatever reason. Also, system/usr/icu/dat is another useless 8mb. I deleted 50 mb of system data that way... Faster backups, more space for your device.

You can use adb u to see what in your system is huge and go after it. That's how I found this neat little trick.

My backups went about 20 seconds faster. I'm the type of person to slim down as much as possible. one This depends on data, etc, but my cm 10.1 system size is 235 mb... If anyone would like info on system apps you can delete, let me know. I use no bloat pro. It remembers your settings and you can just click delete.

I'm the type of person to get rid of everything I don't use. Vpn dialogs? Pico tts? One time in it? Gone!
