Yes. I don't blame you for anything. Just saying it can happen. Yes I tried to install google play. I unistalled everything (google play services, framework etc) and only had root and used custom launcher. I live in the Czech republic. Is there any way to contact amazon without having to send the device back to the US? Does anyone know? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Edit : I probably know why it happened. I rememeber renaming the file that usually handles ota updates to keep my root. So factory reset probably just deleted everything but did not have anything to back up from. Just a thought. Sorry for spamming. But if this is true, we can use it as a cautionary tale of sort.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mysongranhills:
Honestly? I don't know. In my experience Amazon customer service is amazing. They tend to bend over backward for you. I once got a 60' plasma that was 1600 new from amazon warehouse for 1250 it arrived with plastic still covering screen(so much for used ;) and was missing the remote. One 5 min phone call and I was credited 50$. For a 20$ Remote. Contact them and see what they can do for you. Hope it works out for you.

I will also add my 2cents that when I was working on getting google play , I deleted all the apps required but even though I deleted Vending,apk from system/app and data/app the icon changed in app drawer to a "?" and could not be run ,but I could not get rid of the left over icon (thus the factory reset I mentioned in OP)

I'm never more then 10ft from my S4, so I'll just deal with my google stuff on there for now. Until we have unlocked bootloader and method for recovery I'm not gonna risk fooling with google services.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mysongranhills:
I don't think that is it b/c I did the exact same thing. But good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
What device do you have? We share 2 diff devices in this forum. Please tell the version with such posts. It makes things much clearer. johnnydowngrief I hope Amazon works it out with you.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mysongranhills:
I have the 7in. Your absolutely right slipped my mind. I'll update OP to note that. If anyone gets it to work on 8.9 please post. I'll also note software version as well. I know most everyone is on 13.3.1.0 but I'm sure that will change with future updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johnnydowngrief:
I wrote amazon an email. So wish me luck. I may just have to wait until we have unlocked bootloader and a method to unbrick with fastboot cable. I paid too much for postage and VAT (stupid EU :D) to satisfy with a refund. The best option for me would be a replacement with the postage covered by Amazon, but I am not that optimistic.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johnnydowngrief:
Edit : I just talked to amazon support. They are going to send me a replacement to the Czech republic and even cover the postage. Way to go.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mysongranhills:
Awesome. Glad to hear Amazon customer service is as good as ever.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
I changed the file name also before doing the factory reset. However, I had not attempted to install Google Play. I have the new kindle. I just had to re-install all my apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johnnydowngrief:
Sorry for OT. Now they are telling me they can't cover the postage, which means 100 dollars just for the postage and another 50 dollars for the possibility of paying another VAT. I guess i will have to wait for an un-brick method..As of now i can get to the stock recovery, but ADB is not recognized.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] goodayoo:
it must have some other way to do it , your way is too risky, may brick my hdx.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] StAlfonzo:
Just wondering, but if wallpapers appeared on the lock screen after the restart, I shouldn't need to do a factory reset, right? I'm just wondering if a reset would be optimal, or if I'm fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Heliotrope65:
When I first rooted it, I saw a regular wallpaper one time. After that, it was a black screen without fail. I know that you probably don't want to factory reset, but trust me when I tell you that it works seamlessly once it's reset. Yeah, it's a pain installing everything again. But it's worth it to have saved $15.

Take that, Amazon!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wannafly:
Just chat with the customer support, ask him to remove the "special offer" if you are in the country(such as China) where you can NOT use this "special offer".
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] StAlfonzo:
Yeah, you're right. It went black after the first one. Luckily I only received my kindle last night, so there wasn't much to reinstall after the reset.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mcschweg:
I can confirm this method as perfectly described works 100% for me.

KFHDX7 on 13.3.2.4_user_324002120

Counted 11 Amazon lockscreen-pictures, also rotating.

Thank you very much for sharing this hint for it safes money.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mcschweg:
:( ... damn. After a few (I didn't count) reboots, they reappeared. Also the tab on main menu is back. Only 4 ads are preloaded and showing, but I bet it will fill up to 11 or so again.

I will retry to deactivate and then disable/freeze the special offers app via titanium. Maybe that works longer (or hopefully permanently...)

Any thoughts, what triggered the reappearance? Or what may prolong the wanted state?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
xposed

guys I've said this before and I'll say it again I'm not a pro but I do know if you do a factory reset with your xposed framework in place can have bad repercussions on this device. you must uninstall framework and reboot before continuing.

and I can guarantee you for most people they will eventually reappear....or at least the black screen will reappear. depending on if you modified any files. I may be a cheap ass but I eventually just gave them 15 bucks per device to knock them off now I just don't sweat it.you can even block them on your ad blocker if you like but you will still get the black screen.or it will lock on one generic screen the looks like a coupon bla.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] vincentallen2:
I can definitely say that this worked for me! I chatted with a representative online from Amazon.com on a web browser, not on mayday. Within 2 minutes they removed special offers off my HDX 7 inch completely!
[Android General] spyboy.yash:
This is the easiest way to get transparent app drawer in trebuchet

Just head to settings>Launcher>Drawer>Background color

and paste one of the following in place of #ff000000

#00000000 - 100%transparency

#3F000000 - 75% transparency

#7F000000 - 50% transparency

#BF000000 - 25% transparency

And Its Done

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyhemg:
Hi everyone.

I'm now on stock rom of United Kingdom (BTU) android 4.3 with Knox.

I want to move to the stock rom of Netherlands (PHN), also 4.3 with Knox.

The last time I installed German stock rom (DBT) my CSC didn't change to DBT and stayed on BTU and therefore I couldn't get updates via Kies.

I do not want to root my phone or change the CSC in "illegal" ways which will trip the Knox flag and so I won't be able to get updates from Samsung.

The last time I installed this DBT rom I tried already resetting my phone like 3 times and doing wipe data/factory reset twice or so and it didn't help in changing the CSC.

Before I install the PHN rom please provide me with a solution if my CSC will stay on BTU.

Thanks in advance,

[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Very glad to hear it. Now Google just has to kill off the absolute horrid camera app it has and build a new one from scratch. Read the Anandtech review released today of the Nexus 5 and you realize how terrible the camera app is.
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
Camera I think is good. App can agree with you. Curious to see what this new app will bring.
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
So I wonder if I'm rooted with a custom ROM, if I'll have to go back to stock to get the fixes or if custom Roms will be able to update their source. I come from the Sprint Galaxy S4 so I'm used to these updates being very tedious if you're rooted and on a custom rom. :)
[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:

[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
No. With the Nexus One, all review units got the releases the same time as Google employees. And many of those phones were given to the press (without having to return it). So they were able to see the new updates before anyone else. I think now, the press has to return the review Nexus phones but I'm sure they are setup the same way (given early access).

Stock, rooted, using TWRP.

I went to install the update in TWRP (after backing up, of course) but it complains about calculator.apk not being found (I deleted it after I rooted). I found the .apk and installed it, but it's still complaining, I'm guessing because it's installed as a user app and not a system app.

Can anyone guide me on how to install the .apk as a system app, please? I'm not an expert, although I've managed to get this far ok.

not crazy - see this YouTube video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuau4TpQ2Ew&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nexus 5 General] mokee92:
can't really find a definitive answer...

So I am completely stock with an unlocked boot-loader and root. I used CF-AutoRoot. I only removed some system apps such as the mail.apk app because I never use it. How do I get the OTA? Do I just do it normally and apply it when I receive it. Will I loose root if I do that? Or do I side-load the update using ADB?

I can't flash anything since I have the stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
you'll go back to 4.4. , but your radio, bootloader and recovery will stay intact. (of course, depending on what you flashed from the 4.4.1 update).

you'll have to flash back the /system partition from 4.4 , you can do it via fastboot. or flash the whole 4.4 factory image (but then you know you'll lose root and it'll wipe your sd).

basically you have no choice, you made changes to /system , and you have to revert back to stock to be able to get the OTA. unlocked bootloader is not an issue so no worries about it.
