I have kindle fire hdx 8.9 3rd gen I have KinRoot rooted

Im trying to download safestrap but the first mirror link sends me to nginx. Message that says server is working correctly but no download

Nexxt mirror send me to a website that my browser says does not exist. Please someone post a working link I went to the safestrap website and the same downlod links were there and same problem is there like a direct download or something...

If you used Kingroot, aren't you on Fire OS 4.5.2? Then these Safestrap versions v3.7x arent for you anyway. You must use Safestrap v4 then!

Note that you should use the stock slot with Safestrap v4 to avoid certain issues (e.g. battery drain, performance issues, etc.). Make sure you understand the risks of using the stock slot!

Also create a backup of your stock slot, and move it to your PC before you flash anything.

And always remember: NEVER restore a backup of a secondary slot to the stock slot! Would overwrite Safestrap files and brick the device! (One more reason to NOT create secondary slots).

With Safestrap v4 you can use Nexus or CM11 for Safestrap v4 only! CM12, CM13 & SlimLP require TWRP and an unlocked bootloader, so you can NOT use any of those.

Question guys.. I already backed up my system. Now I want to make a Rom slot to have a copy of my stock rom so I can mess around with it. Before restoring my backed up stock Rom to Rom slot 1 do I need to a wipe first before installing my backup to Rom slot 1?

No you don't need to wipe at all, just go ahead and load your stock Rom into your Rom slot 1 is good enough.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] gutts10:
Does any one know if there is any progress on a rom that we can load in a slot?? I'm desperately waiting to ditch fire os!!!

Other than the mentioned battery decrease is there any type of performance drop?? Correct me if I'm wrong but this seem like an emulator kinda how virtual box works on Mac. If that is the case then there should be done kind of performance drop... right? Until the boot loader is unlocked and we can install rooms the old fashioned way we will not see uninhibited performance? Either way, a performance hit on stock kit Kat will be miles better than fire os.

Also if I install safestrap then I want to unroot my kindle do I lose safestrap because root is lost?

Thanks for everything!!! Hope to see rooms soon!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] memeticadama:
This isn't an emulator (it's not even virtualisation). It's merely using a loopback mounted file on the kindle as storage, instead of the kindle's storage directly. The slight battery drop is due to the small overhead of redirecting i/o calls.

This is how emulators and virtualisation handles storage, but it doesn't share anything else in common with them.

I don't have any interest in an HDX without Amazon Services working 100%, however, if you guys raise the money, I do get 15% discount as my brother is an Amazon employee. So I am willing to purchase the device using my discount, which takes from the total amount of discount I can use in a calendar year.

Hi !

Thanks to both of you, but i didn't tough this would go so far ! I'm a little anxious about getting money from you and not being able to deliver what you guys except. In the meantime i could help you setup an GAPPS rom if not already possible.

For example a good start to get all google apps to work would be :

Backup stock rom

Restore stock rom to a slot rom

Install xposed and enable my HDXPosed module

Overwrite DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUI located in "/system/app"

Download gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Remove "/system/app/setupwizard.apk" from gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Flash gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip from safestrap recovery

As soon as i get my 7" hdx back (bricked it when flashing to stock partitions...) i'll take a look to get amazon app store to work alongside play store.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] lasset:
Ok, but feel free to ask for my donate when you wish.

I already have installed Xposed and your Xpose module but not Downloadprovider, DownloadproviderUI or JB Gapps.

If I start from the beginning the stock rom shall be "clean", just rooted?

Hooo my fault. You have to remove the "Welcome" apk (or something like this) in the gapps zip and you'll be good to go I guess !

So I created a ROM slot...backed up current ROM. Tried to restore current backup to that ROM slot..it gets to data and fails. So I wipe it and go back to stock ROM slot and boot back in to the original ROM. Is it maybe because I didn't make the partitions large enough?

So I figured it out. I have all gapps up and running. EXCEPT for the Play Store. I tried running it, it keeps shutting down on me. Updated the Play store ... still does it.

Totally Borked HDX

I'm pretty sure I completely f'd my HDX. I somehow wiped the data partition while playing around in Safestrap. I've been with Android since the beginning, so I know what I'm doing BUT I was drinking. Is there anyway to create a data partition and push that .zip from a couple posts previously to the device and install on stock rom slot?

From what I've gathered, the Kindle's need a special cable to trigger fastboot because there's apparently more going on with that port than just the USB stack. Would the dirty work need to be done from fastboot or ADB? Or is the dirty work even possible without a JTAG or some crazy stuff?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide and thanks a million for Safestrap Hashcode, it truly is an awesome tool.

Ok..so my main stock partition won't obtain root no matter if I use the iroot10 and install supersu 1.91. My rom-slot1 has everything I need and is working fabulous. Since we have a form of twrp I could theoretically wipe my stock partition and restore my Rom slot back up to the main partition? I know at this point bricking scaring me. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Factory fastboot cable won't, I repeat, WILL NOT, work for the HDX. Amazon has several things going security measures in place preventing fastboot from coming online.

Now, what data partition did you nuke? Rm slot, or stock original partition? Does the device boot to at least the orange & gray logo? A few of us have been looking at a possible fix for some bricks using QPST, but we're a ways off from anything solid.

Also, the dalvik issue (android updating, starting apps message) is an old one that can be fixed in framework, it was a common issue back at the 4.0.x update days on many devices. I don't remember how we fixed it on WCX, I'll have to see if I still have any of my HTC Vivid & GS3 stuff/notes.

SafeStrap, Backeded up - Mount issues

Hello,

After I installed SafeStrap on my HDX 7" - I made a backup.

But now after rebooting, I get stuck at the Kindle Fire grey/yellow image.

When I go back to SafeStrap and view backups - I see nothing, and it states "Internal Storage 0 MB".

It looks like I'm not mounting my internal storage, the only thing is, I'm not sure where it is :)

Errors from the session

e:Unmount: Unable to find partition for path '/'

When at the Kindle Fire image, I can get into ADB, I have reviewed the mount and seen my /sdcard data that is missing while in safestrap.

Here's what seems to be valid mount data from ADB

Did you make a rom slot & flash a rom to the new slot? It looks like it is trying to boot to an empty rom slot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
I had not made a new slot immediately following backup, but now when I try, I get the internal storage = 0 - no ability to create the new slot.

I do continue to have SU rights under ADB, but don't have the knowledge yet to patch things together.

Btw, thanks for the reply :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
I find it odd that I made a backup, but I can't restore - as there is no internal storage space. This unit was only on for a few hours - no storage used other than backup
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Yeah, we really need a guide put together for those that want to retain both Amazon & Google services. I guess I can install SafeStrap finally & have a look. Been working on other projects, real job stuff, so I still haven't installed SafeStrap. That & I have been creating brick scenarios on stock, trying to help fix other bricks. So, I'd probably be able to repeat what you've done & work out a fix.

Incidentally, have you made sure that the System & Data partitions are not mounted before trying to create or flash to a rom slot?

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

@Hashcode I saw you finally got my message this weekend. Lol... Better late than never...

At any rate, I was wondering if it would be possible to release a version with a 2Gb or 3Gb maximum /system rom slot size?

The main issue with the 1Gb max size is that any user that wants to keep all Amazon services running alongside Google's end up with backups that are over 1Gb & hence, cannot be restored. Maybe you could call it the 64Gb HDX 8.9 safestrap? Unless it is actually somewhere I can easily modify, I'd certainly appreciate it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
From "Mount", everything is unchecked, middle of the screen says "Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)"

I believe internal storage should be mmcblk0p23 as it's 28GB of the 32gb drive.

From SafeStrap terminal, the file system I'm on has barely anything - no mounts under /etc or /system - as you mentioned, empty slot!

rootfs on / type rootfs

tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs

devpts on /dev/pts

proc on /proc

sysfs on /sys

debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug

none on /act

I have the BIN file for this device, as I can't restore the backup from SafeStrap - do I have a way to push the BIN and wipe/rebuild all partitions? Starting over is sounding appealing :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Okay. I have to try it & I still do not have SafeStrap as I had all working without it, but I am going to install it & give it a try as soon as I have a second. I am almost positive (let me see) that you can actually flash the bin using safestrap by renaming the extension to .zip.

If you are feeling adventurous, you can give it a whirl, otherwise, I'll have a go as soon as I get the time.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
That last part is the one that likely will give you a chuckle - I've been trying to find the partition that's available to me in SafeStrap via ADB - so that I could test the flashing via SafeStrap! I've mounted all the partitions that I can from /proc/partitions and havn't found a common file system that I can save the file to.

Silly Amazon - getting rid of the external SD Card and confusing me to pieces!

As for your testing and support, please - at your own time, I was greedy and wanted more more more - and missed a important part of the instructions :) so my bad. But if I can assist with information on this problem to help others - sure thing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] halftonehero:
That's what happened to me but magically after a couple boot loops everything mounted fine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] wowwashington:
Found /cache as a common folder for both ADB and SafeStrap - was able to copy the image to this folder and use to reimage the Kindle.

I'm back online and will try the SafeStrap again now that I have a way to recover.

Many hours of reading here and other sites trying to fix this :)

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

This one did not want to recover, but I failed to create a slot in SafeStrap after doing a backup. I assumed the original image would remain usable after backup. It could have been caused by monkeying around with HDXposed - I installed the APK and it didn't show up as an app on the device, so I installed another version of it - it showed up, when I tried to enable the framework - I got the first msg of no space available that went on to be an inability to find the internal storage.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CmdrCrichton:
I simply installed Safestrap on on my freshly rooted stock system. Then performed a backup in safe strap. Created a Rom slot and restored that slot the back up. Then followed Cpasjuste's Flashable Rom Thor GAPPS with Xposed module Thread and I have both Amazon and Gapps working together!
