Couple of things:

- if you've received the 4.3 update, your bootloader is locked and (currently) un-touchable. Don't try to flash, well, anything.

- if you've received the 4.3 update, you've also received Samsung's odius KNOX technology. If you do try to flash anything most things (especially recoveries), you'll trip the KNOX counter and invalidate your warranty (I believe it also means you can't use your phone in enterprise setups that use KNOX)

The good news is that you can restore your phone to working order! You'll need to install the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. XDA member scoobysnack posted a link to download the software, though you can also get it from any functioning Verizon Samsung smartphone that's plugged into a computer.

After you've installed the software, turn your phone on and plug it into the computer. Run the software and select the tab on the left column titled 'Repair'. Click on the repair button near the right side and sit back & wait. The software will download the 4.3 OTA and install it. Like ODIN, it is imperative that you not unplug your phone during this process.

If you have trouble getting the software to recognize your phone, it may help to put it into download mode. I had to go through this myself (I foolishly forgot about the bootloader issue and tried to flash a recovery. Sigh).

You can achieve root for 4.3, but there are some serious concerns about Kingo, the software the provides root. XDA doesn't allow links to them due to unanswered questions about privacy concerns due to unusual traffic capture going between the software and (apparently) servers in China

thanks so much. ill try it in the morning when i get off work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gilitin99:
Also when i was in odin and plugged my phone in, the software on the pc didnt recognize my phone either. Is that something i should worry about. I guess the box was supposed to turn green but never did.Many thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gilitin99:
ok so i got home today and tried downloading verizon software update from the link you gave and it wont open the program. Ive tried on 2 different computers. so i called verizon tech to see if they have it cause i can only find it on the website described eariler, and they said they dont have it. Its only in your phone. Well i cant access my phone to get it and im stumped. They said to go into a verizon store and they should be able to fix it. What are my options? I dont have any data on the phone i need to save so can i just go back to a previous version or wipe it out? Or do i have to do a custom rom? Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
When you go into ODIN mode (turn off your phone, power on using POWER+HOME+VOL-DOWN), do you a line that reads 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID'? It would be in the upper left corner under 'SYSTEM STATUS'.

I ask because if you don't have that line, you didn't upgrade to 4.3 and your bootloader is NOT locked. You should be able to flash to 4.1.2 from ODIN and go from there (CASUAL to unlock & root, et cetera).

If you do have that line, then your only option is the VZW Software assistant. I'm uploading it now and I'll send you a link via PM. Please keep in mind that if you use the VZW Software assistant, whether your bootloader is currently locked or not, it most definitely will be locked after using it. If you're already locked, no harm done, but I'd make sure first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugarlumps:
Hi

first, I had rooted my device with a update zip after fixed recovery mode that I found here on xda, and installed busybox, galaxsim unlock app, titanium back up and so on.

I did these on a stock rom android 2.1 update of claro provider but when I tried to use a different company sim, the screen with a padlock appeared.

Second, I flashed with odin the rom after I had downloaded 3 Buttons fix RazvanG, I installed firmware 2.3.3 with base band I9000TUBJV8, and 2.6.35.7-I9000TUBJV8-CL251862 kernel, also I rooted with super one click tool that I found here on xda, and I installed busybox, galaxsim unlock app etc.

but nothing happened I got the padlock or network lock despite the fact the app says the network lock is OFF .

At the end also almost brick my device when I flashed just a bootloader.

The device still works just with claro provider.

Finally I really want to know Where could I find a GT-I9000T rom without network lock screen a good kernel, and modem, that I could root it?

Thank you for your time I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
These are the ROM's released by Samsung for i9000T based on regions, your main issue would be the modem that connects to claro or the network you want, meaning you can use an i9000 or i9000T 2.3.6 ROM and flash the modem for your region and it should work for you, unless you have a contract phone that is bootloader locked.

look here for guide, you can try ( at your own risk) flashing i9000 bootloader with i9000 ROM with i9000T modem ( you must have back up to restore, if it fails ) to get back to your stock again. EFS Backup is a must have before flashing , look here for guide

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugarlumps:
Thank you, I can use other sim.

Well, what I have done:

1. I tried to use other rom from your first link for gt-i9000t 2.3.6 but just change the company's logo. I think, I had a a contract phone.

2. I used odin to install a rom from the same site for GT-I9000 2.3.6 (OPS-I9000XWJW6-20120430154616 certainly I just tried with this rom)and the modem from my last Rom the MODEM_I9000TUBJV8_CP_PHONE_CL1006697.tar. And there is, the device is working fine, It did not give the screen with padlock.

Thank you.

Hi all,

My Nook seems to have broken over night, more than likely the trim command was fired and broken my partition table.

I would return the item, but the Cyanogen Boot logo still appears. Is there anyway to remove it based on the nooks current bricked status?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If it shows that logo, it is not likely bricked by the trim command. Try making a bootable CWM per my HD/HD+ CWM thread and try flashing a plain stock zip from item 6.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfster:
Thanks for the reply,

Ive now tried different SD cards and both ways of creating a bootable sd card. but nothing works. I cant get past the cyanogen boot screen.

The TWRP image did boot but didnt get passed the splashscreen.

Any advice?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alk195:
I have this EXACT same problem, I would love to find a way to get the cyanoboot splash screen to go away so I can get it exchanged for a new one.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Both of you only have two choices.

If you left stock recovery on internal before it screwed up, you can do the 8 failed boot procedure and it will reset itself to stock.

If you replaced stock recovery with CWM or TWRP, you must boot to it or a bootable CWM SD so you can flash the plain stock zip I have in item 6 in my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature. To get to your custom recovery on internal, power up from the powered off condition and hold both the power and n button simultaneously for 5-8 seconds. Then first release power and then a couple of seconds later the n key. It should show the cyanoboot logo followed by the recovery.

If you cannot do any of those things, you are screwed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfster:
Looks like im screwed. It is strange though how the TWRP bootable image actually attempts to boot?

UPDATE: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44797803&postcount=73

I tried this and have managed to boot into cwm.

I then noticed a error that kept repeating. E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]

So I then did the following

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

3. mounts and storage > format /boot

4. mounts and storage > format /system

5. mounts and storage > format /data

6. mounts and storage > format /emmc

7. mounts and storage > format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)

Alot of this did cause mounting problems. but I did notice I could mount /boot and browse sdcard from the "install zip" option. The only problem is the partion in the SD i can see isnt the partition that CWM can see.

I'm going to try and sideload the stock recovery using adb when I get in from work as I dont have the usb cable on me.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherip:
If you made a backup of stock prior to loading another ROM, you may have better luck restoring it than flashing the stock zip. That has been my experience. In addition to doing the restore, you may need to flash the stock recovery zip.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfster:
Well I couldnt get ADB to work with my tablet. So I couldnt sideload the stock emmc. So I then used "Paragon ExtFS for Windows" to copy the files to the other correct ext3 partition on the MicroSD.. I then booted into recovery and attempted to flash the zip. It didnt work, I recieved a error stating

E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]

E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Looks like the nooks dead.

Hey,

after tinkering around for some days I came to the conclusion, that the playstore crashes because of the Download Manager.

I tried to sideload the download manager from my phone but that didn't work since the Kindle's missing some framework. (newer android on phone)

Could someone with a working gplay store upload the apk and odex for DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUI?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
You want to remember that most people just flash a Gapps zip these days. For those just staying rooted, I recommend using this more up to date tool that can also install Google play. It works real well. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Vanidor:
I've got the same problem as well and can prove that it is caused by DownloadProvider.apk

Sounds like an OTA update from amazon broke your root. Try to just re-root again. that should fix the problem.

I'm still rooted, no OTA Update broke my root.

Could someone maybe upload DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUI?

Install GPlay Store as mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365224

Then follow this solution:

Backup your Downloads App via Titanium Backup

Download the files attached to my post to your device

Copy the DownloadProvider.apk AND DownloadProviderUi.apk into your /system/app directory

Set the permissions to rw- r-- r-- for both

Reboot your Kindle Fire HD

Hmm, I just tried this. I selected an app to download from the Play Store and hit install, but it;s just been sitting at 'Downloading..' for the past 10 minutes.

It hasn't crashed yet, so we're getting somewhere!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Vanidor:
I've just uploaded DownloadProviderUI.apk in my original post. Try these maybe this will work. Otherwise you could also try to patch your Google Play to a different version with Lucky Patcher (just google for it :)) ('Toolbox' -> 'Install modded Google Play Store' -> select another version)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] NickSaul:
Also, now whenever I restart the tablet, I get a "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message twice. I'm not sure what's causing that. It's probably from following the 5 different tutorials I've found. lol

I tried a few different Play Store version, but I'll give that Lucky Patcher a shot.

Do we need the DownloaderProviderUI.apk file too maybe? Maybe you would be so kind as to post that too?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Vanidor:
I've already uploaded it to my original post. Here you go:

DownloadProviderUI.apk
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] NickSaul:
Ok, I've tried everything, I still just get stuck at "Downloading..." forever. I'm tethering from my phone, I doubt that would cause an issue, but I'll try again over wifi later.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Nereuz:
Yeah, same result as if you'd delete DownloadManager and DownloadManagerUI .odex and .apk.

Are those two .apks from a working version of the play store?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] NickSaul:
I renamed the original DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUi apks, adding '.bak' to the end, then moved the apks from this thread in there and changed the permissions. Just gets stuck at "Downloading...". I also tried a few different Play Store versions. Everything else syncs up fine (gmail, chrome, hangouts, youtube, ...), so I suppose it's good enough for now.

What I'm really hoping for is a custom recovery and CM11 nightlies.

amazon won't download now...

Hi. I've been reading through all the posts pertaining to the 2013 kindle fire hd 7" running 11.3.1 and I have rooted it and installed a few things. However, when I tried to get google play, I failed miserably. I followed all instructions in all the posts here relevant to gp install on kfsowi and couldn't get it to work. The best part is now I can't download anything from amazon either! I tried replacing them with the original .apk and odex files I found here, but now the whole amazon app store crashes... Am I going to have to start over now, or is there something I'm missing? I have titanium pro and es explorer. Its still rooted and everything except the amazon store works fine. I uninstalled kindlefree after uninstalling everything I installed with it, but nothing. I have rebooted countless times now. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] woodchipper:
I had the same problem and I registered just to warn you against trying to reset to factory defaults when your download files aren't working. Without thinking about it, I assumed the original files would be restored and I could start over fresh. Once I told it to reset to default I realized that I probably just ruined my Kindle. The non-working download files will stay in place so you won't be able to download any type of files. And you can't replace the files at that point because your root access, as well as file management apps will be gone. I eventually figured out how to use ADB well enough to replace the files and everything worked fine after that. That is, everything under the original non-rooted system worked fine. As far as I know, the Google Play store doesn't actually work yet.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] drjyp:
lucky me!

Thank some higher power I actually fixed the problem with the reset... See, I'm a bit impatient, and generally seem to have pretty good instincts for tech repair. So I went ahead and put it back to factory, re-rooted, re-installed everything-ish, and it's working great, minus the play store. I had re-copied the original downloadui files before I did the reset, so theoretically, it just fixed whatever pathway I broke trying to install the play store. The files themselves were fixed... I really like this tablet, though. such a shame it's so limited. I think it has potential to do more. I'm impatiently waiting for cyanogen.... I really liked that on my 1st gen fire. This thing will be so much faster with kitkat. Would be nice to see cpu's potential, also. runs pretty quick as it is...Thanks for the warning, though. good thing I did something different to amazon! I'd have an unhappy 7-year old wondering why dad messed up his tablet, lol!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] christian_bay:
I followed this howto to install the play store but I always got stuck at with the "no connection - retry error" in the play store. So I figured that replacing my stock Downloadprovider apks with the patched ones mentioned earlier in this thread. This didn't work for me, the play store still errored out with the "no connection" error. Now I noticed that the amazon app store also eon't download anymore! After tapping get app it shows 0% download status forever. From the last comments I get that you guys fixed that, how did you do that? I removed all the google play store related apks that I installed and replaced the downloadprovider apks and odex files with the stock ones from above. I have a 2013 kindle fire hd 7 with 11.3xx OS. I rebooted countless times and cleared app caches for the downloadproviders and the amazon store... Only thing I didn't try yet is resstoring factory defaults.

Edit: Finally fixed my Amazon Appstore. What I did to fix it for other people who run into this:

- Remove all Google Play store related packages: Google Play Services, Google Account Manager, Google Framework services, Google Login services, the update from Google Play store using the Applications section below Settings

- finally vendor.apk from /system/apps

- reboot

- replaced the four DownloadProvider*.* files in /system/app with the stock ones from above

- reboot

- 'uninstall all updates' for the two Amazon App store apps and the two Amazon Download-Apps below Settings/Applications

- removed all caches for the two Amazon App store apps and the two Amazon Download-Apps from Settings/Applications

- reboot

Now it works again. Phew. So how do I get the Play store working? ;) Will re-try and post in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590933
