I had that problem too when I went to airplane mode to try and prevent the update. These Kindles are really touchy or sensitive I guess. Just keep trying that's what I did and it finally came back on.

Did you recreate ROM-slot 1 and flash Gapps or only undo rename the file ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tech6:
After factory reset, I re-created the Rom slot with Hashcode's stock file and also flashed Gapps in Rom slot only. Stock Rom I installed Gapps w/o the use of Thor Capps. Can't remember if I had the same problem on stock Rom. Have to see and get back with you on that.

error "google play services has stoped" pups up every 3-5 seconds

hello there, newbies question. kindle fire hdx 7" 13.3.1.0 original stock (never upgraded yet),

used HDX ToolKit v0.95 to root with towelroot, installed SuperUser, HDXposed (Framework + Module),

safestrap v3.72

used Free Kindle APK to install:

Google Apps Setup --> Account and Sync Settings; Google Login Service; Google Services Framework; Google Voice Search Lib.

Google Apps --> Android Market (Google Play 1/2) and Android Market Update (Google Play 2/2); Google Play Store.

problems: error "google play services has stoped", shows up every 3-5 seconds.

question: i downloaded update-kindle-13.3.1.0_user_310079820.bin and renamed to update.zip and put it kindle sdcard into kindleupdate directory.

also created backup of stock.

if i will use safestrap: wipe --> Advances wipe --> Dalvick Cache, Data, Cache, System.

after Wiping, go back to main Menu of Recovery and Restore the Backup

Q1. will it work for me if --> Recovery and Restore the Backup from created backup of stock from TWRP folder??

Q2. will work for me if --> safestrap --> install --> directory with update.zip (file update-kindle-13.3.1.0_user_310079820.bin and renamed to update.zip)??

scary to brick it. thanks for any advice
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Congrats on your successes so far. You have accomplished a lot and still have a functioning device. That may sound sarcastic; it's not meant to be but you are certainly living on the edge. A good chunk of your actions are 'off script' which usually leads to unpleasant outcomes on an HDX.

Short answer: Google Play Service and FireOS don't get along for obvious reasons. A fair bit of effort is needed to get the basic services working and it can all come undone with an update to Amazon or Google's framework which happens rather frequently.

My guidance: abandon your current path in favor of unlocking your bootloader, installing 'native' twrp (forget safestrap) and one of several roms tweaked to work on HDX: Nexus v4, CM11 or CM12. All fully support Google Services along with Amazon apps available in the Play store. You can even run FireOS v4 although that takes a bit more work. An unlocked bootloader is the only way to recover from most bricks and the only way to get the latest roms on your device.

I have implemented a working playStore with the three files from you, the files (frameworks Services and Account Manager) from Anroid Cowboy and the latest versions of PlayStore and Play Services... no more. I dont have Gapps.zip needed.

Gmail works for me, but crashes the Amazon app shop now (What's not so bad)

Ps. Your wallpaperfix works fine ;)

I restored from stock and flash the zip you made then flash davlik and cache and I got "android is upgrading" showing up but the play store and other apps aren't showing:confused::confused::confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
That's great !

If you don't care about amazon stuff i'm actually removing as much as possible of amazon apps and services as i want the closest to stock as possible, i did already remove around 150 Mb of them with success (and this free up system partition for gapps) ! This also prevent some services crashing in the background and heating cpu. Unfortunately i wont be able to work anymore on that with Christmas around ... but well, i will make a great rom at the end of next week :)

In the meantime, i wish you a merry Christmas with this wonderful tablet ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
Your stock rom was maybe not so stock, i guess you didn't have enough free space available under your system partition. I think the script don't fail if it run out of space so we think all was ok but it was not. I'm sure if you issue this command under a terminal "df" you"ll see system partition with 0 bytes left :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Crzycoco:
I typed in the command 'df' and it said that i had 170 MB left. And this is after I flashed the zip:(:(:(:(

Works like a charm

Tried this on my 64GB version 7" KHDX.. works.. :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kschang:
I'm on my maxed out HDX 7" too, works, here's a bit of report...

Playstore: Works great

Gmail: opens, then crashes. Won't open again. This was uninstalled then reinstalled fresh from Play Store, same thing.

Chrome: opens, tries to sync account, crashes, won't open again.

Google Plus: works great

Photos: works fine

Google Search/Now: works great, but can't see the notifications. Blame Amazon. :D

Google Play Games: seems to work

Google Play Music: seems to work fine

Google News Stand: seems to work fine

QuickOffice: works fine

What's weird is the apps that you said you deleted from the script? They're still there when I rebooted. Weird, eh?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
Strange, then there's probably a problem in the script. I'll try to fix that but i'm actually working on making a rom with all amazon stuff (apk, services) removed, which i did succeed ! I will focus on that if i have the time this afternoon (as everything is working) then we will see.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
The custom rom is almost ready, unfortunately i do have problems restoring system permissions ... (no wifi etc). Does someone know if there's some sort of generic permission example around ?

Can't say how much i appreciate your hard work man!!! Thanks!

How do I start from a stock/clean backup...Do I restore to a rom slot and then do a factory reset?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kschang:
One note: I am running out of storage on my ROM slot. I'm at 100MB free, where Kindle starts screaming "Your device is critically low on storage!" and apps refuse to download. i think the default Settings App is hiding some details from me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] fortnoob:
unroot

I am sending my hdx7 back due to the blue hue (which seems to be growing) and I need to unroot it. Do I unroot it with supersu and then just do a factory reset? I also have safestrap installed if that makes a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ninjarobot:
You do know that *all* hdx7's have the blue hue right? It is an artifact of the new quantum dot technology they are using that relies on blue LEDs. Your replacement Kindle will have exactly the same hue.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] fortnoob:
not all...sipposedly

Read somewhere that amazon first released a statement that it was a defect and to return them but they recanted and said it's a feature. I aslo read on another forum where people ave received a replacement that doesn't have the blue hue.If it does than I will send it back to and just get a refund.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gtso:
How did you guys get it to work? Heres what i did

Reboot in recovery using safestrap

On the stock rom, flashed the zip file.

Wipe cache and dalvik

Reboot

Adroid is upgrading...

After that still no gapps? What did ido wrong?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kschang:
No! You're supposed to backup the stock rom, create a ROM slot (with a larger Data partition than the default), restore the backup into the ROM slot, THEN install/flash the ZIP file!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gtso:
When you say stock do you mean the unrooted one?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kschang:
*sigh*

When you first install safestrap recovery, and boot into it, it will stay very clearly that you're dealing with STOCK ROM (and recovery robot at the boot menu will be RED, not green). That means you're MUCKING WITH STOCK ROM, not a "copy" of a ROM (i.e. safestrap).

In order NOT to muck with stock ROM (i.e. live your life on the edge), you "backup" the stock ROM, create a ROM slot (probably 1, name it "mod test1 or whatever) restore your backup into it, and activate that so you from now on boot into the COPY of your ROM. Then you can flash, edit, distort, or multilate your ROM... and as long as you can get into safestrap recovery, you can simply reset the ROM slot by loading a backup, and you're back in 5 minutes. And your "stock ROM" (rooted, but unmodified) will stay UNTOUCHED.

Got that? :)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] _Alex_:
I installed this on top of what I did in Android Cowboy's thread, ( KindleFree + Android Cowboy + flashing this) and I have retained working Google Apps (Gmail, Google Now, etc) and now have a working Play Store. I've been running stable for over 24 hours now.

Unfortunately, this disables Kindle FreeTime, which is a problem for my kids. Might have to setup two ROMSlots, one for Amazon functionality and one for Google functionality. Still trying to find a workaround, but this is likely the result of the CM10 download manager, as if you add back the launcher and the App Store, you still can't download new apps...

BTW, does anyone see the 'Kindle is upgrading...' every reboot since flash? I haven't tried to troubleshoot this yet...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] S_transform:
I also get the kindle is upgrading every time. It hasn't caused any issues, so I'm not overly concerned with it, although I am curious as to why it does it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] CZ Eddie:
Everytime I wipe cache & dalvik on my phones (galaxy s4, etc) I get "android is upgrading". Sounds like Kindle is doing the same thing but changed the wording.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:

Hello everyone

Sorry english is not my main language

I have a Kindle Fire 7 HDX

I've run SAFESTRAP and a recovery

Then I downloaded gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip to install through recovery and to implement a CH Play

But things are going well at the boot screen language option.

I have a wide variety of optional language but still can not go to be in.

Only option to display the language and ends.

I have wifi connection

Expecting people to help.

Thank you:crying:

Sounds like there's no way to keep Amazon services working while allowing Play store downloads to work. I'm a huge Amazon spender and prime customer so it'd be nice to have it working alongside Play store without resorting to rebooting to different rom slots.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] fishhelmet:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] kschang:
Now here's the annoying part... Now Kindle App and App Store no longer works.

ARGH!

Connection works because Amazon Video store app works fine.

Amazon MP3 store just times out

Amazon Kindle flashes and quits (a lot like Gmail). Checking appinfo says it downloaded almost 10 MB of data.

Audible store is like Amazon MP3 store... times out

Regular Amazon store does load... after a while

Have you tried downloading kindle app from playstore? It is how I usually read kindle books on a Google tablet. Just a suggestion as I won't do this till the bugs are worked out. Side loading and root work well enough that I'm not pressed to g o any further till the process is more refined
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
I did in the first post !
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hashcode:
Hey [MENTION=503571]Cpasjuste[/MENTION], I looked at the updater-script for this and noticed:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/dev/block/loop-system", "/system");

As more of an FYI, for safestrap you don't need to do any special mount naming. This would work across the board:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");

The other way means that it won't apply to stock system (if the user wanted to flash it there).. and maybe that was by design.. hrm.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:
No it was not really by design, but I was not sure about that so in doubt I did choose this safer way. Thanks for the tips !

I'll use that in next release.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] relaxhax:
Is it possible to run Appstore and playstore side by side?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Cpasjuste:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gqukyo:
That's great and I can't wait. Question though, does that mean carousel will be around or that the downloadable App Store made for Android devices. Personally I like the stock OS, just need Playstore to work also.

New thor-gapps-rom-0

Thanks to Cpasjuste for the new "0" ROM !!

Just loaded the new THOR-GAPPS-ROM-0 -- which is posted in the Development Forum -- I'm a noob so I can't post there.

It works fantastic! Using SafeStrap 3.70 (Thanks Hashcode!) I flashed it on a ROM slot that had a restored copy of my stock ROM. PlayStore, Gmail, and everything else I tried (except the Kindle app) from PlayStore) works fine. However, I fixed the Kindle book-reader issue by by deleting the data, the app, & 2 left-over folders (w/ ES file manager) -- then re-installing the Kindle app. Now I have all my Kindle books -- which is really the only Amazon feature I wanted to retain!

To All involved: Keep up the Good Work!

You can solve the gmail issue by copying vending.apk to /system the version I copied over is 6.62MB and I can't remember which version it is. I did have to rename it from vending_android.apk.
