I would recommend installing update 13.3.2.3 and using the toolkit to block ota, root, and install twrp. From there, you can start playing with unlocking the bootloader and installing cm.

Download the update file on your computer from the op of the update thread in the general forum. Sideload it, disable wifi and check for updates. It should find it and install it. Then, the toolkit will work.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Read the OP. If you don't understand/recognize the instructions and thumbnails then you shouldn't be messing with this tool. The two hints I will provide are: 1) it runs on a Windows host; and 2) nothing is directly installed on your HDX.

Toolkit for Linux OS?

Hi!

This toolkit is obviously developed for Windows.

Is there anything comparable available for Linux OS?

THX
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Wow - ancient history! Obsolete and no longer needed regardless of platform. Was only useful with FireOS v3 builds below 3.2.6. Unlock the bootloader and go from there.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cmonty14:
Hi,

I found these instructions in the forum to unlock bootloader:

Create unlock file following this instruction

Flash old vulnarable aboot and cubed twrp in adb shell

For the latest I need root:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp_cubed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_vuln.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

So, can you please tell me what I'm supposed to do for unlocking bootloader w/o root?

Yes, just drop the update file in the root of your SD card and go to settings>device>system updates and click the update button when you have a minimum of 30% battery.

Immediately turn off WiFi and root the device then disable ota manually.

No, you CANNOT. It checks the version number of the firmware & the build.prop. Right now, that can't be changed easily or without consequence due to Amazon requiring everything to be signed. I am working on a way to roll back that works consistently & without issue, but I haven't had the time to get back to it yet.

-Quick update-

​

Since Amazon keeps pushing updates and not a whole lot of work is being done (except some talk on Chinese forums) at cracking the device, this post may not see many updates unless things start popping off again. I'm still here and planning on staying. Fyi my device is still rooted on 13.3.1.0 running gapps rom-v2 off a rom slot. My stock rom is in airplane mode. I'm planning on remove the HDXposed app from the utility since it has no effect at blocking the stock system from updating over the air. Give it some time. Amazon will slip up on a future update, and when the time is right we'll be ready and snag another root. As of now we should focus on fastboot (dissecting the boot-up sequence), Amazon signing, and b̶l̶o̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶s̶. What we need most is more people. Watching some action in the Kindle Fire HD forum may hand us some useful ideas. Stay mellow

UPDATE

I have some good news.

A major update is coming to the tool!

PLUS! I now can block ota updates as long as you have root!

PLUS!! The Amazon app store and (most)apps work too!!!

Once another root is found ota is taken care of!!!

Expect an update in the coming weeks.

It's safe and just disables the right functions (can be undone).

:cool:

I decided to release the update early. Enjoy.

Anyone want to confirm the OTA blocker? I've been on airplane mode for so long I'm scared to try it...I really don't want to lose root
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Reckerr:
I would like to know how which files are blocked. So I can be sure. Or someone who can confirm. Very nice tool though I used 0.8.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
It works if your rooted. First it mounts /system with higher permissions. Then disables functions in com.amazon.dcp connected then disables the file itself. I'm on 13.3.1.0 rooted, went on my stock rom, ran it, turned on wifi, went to device then update in settings, checks for updates and it fails to fetch it. I also added the feature to reverse it. Tested that too, go back to check for updates then it starts downloading. It's safe and it works. I've been looking into it for a while.

It's a lot of editing, compiling, and testing. Code is around 500 lines now. v0.9 is probably the most stable version as of now.

I was thinking of doing something special to v1 buttt I'm going to stick with what's highly functional / basic. Plus I'm trying to keep the file size down.

Download and enjoy.

Try it. If you see it start downloading (unlikely) in Settings --> Device --> Updates then turn off wifi.

But you

must have

root for it to work.

Still no update, so that's good, but I did run into my first issue. Now, I never connected stock to WiFi until now, so I never tried playing an amazon video until now and I'm getting this error. Thoughts? Is this from the disabled OTA?

Quick Question @FAZ

First of all thank you so much for creating this! I;m going to be doing this for the first time on my HDX 7" and was wondering if I follow the options in the utility starting at 1? I would think that I would first need to root it but I wanted to ask you in what order do I go about doing this. Also is everything in the utility all I need? Or will I need to do something additional to block OTA, the reason I ask is because in the description it says that the utitlity has the OTA blocker already in it but I just wanted to clarify. Thank you so much for the help!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
The way I arranged the menu (1-x) has nothing to do with the order to follow. Yes, root first. I added comments for newbies to follow along. Just root your device first. Safestrap is a recovery if you want to add/use the gapps rom for Thor but do that after rooting.

Enjoy buddy.

After applying OTA blocks, no WiFi

On my 8.9HDX, which is rooted, has Safestrap installed and running from a RomSlot, I have been in airplane mode for several weeks for safety. After seeing that v0.9 has OTA blocking, I downloaded and ran the HDX Root Utility, verified root, then applied the OTA Block, and then rebooted. I turned off airplane mode and tried to turn WiFi back on, but it immediately reboots every time I turn on WiFi. Any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
I've run into this issue several times before myself. The only way I've been able to get everything back up and going is to restore my system using a stock ROM backup and reapplying everything. Hopefully someone else can provide a better solution. I can't nail down the cause of it. Do you have Gapps installed? I haven't been able to figure out if this is caused by the com.amazon.dcp.apk file being disabled or Gapps being installed. I've see comments and thread posts suggesting both....so who knows. As of right now, my WiFi is turned on from my last restore, but if I were to turn it off, I'd have the same issue of reboots whenever I try to turn it back on.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] texmexdud:
Gapps and WiFi

Yes, I do have Gapps installed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
OK. I just ran a quick test, and here is what I did to see which is to blame (for now). I tried all of this from a Stock ROM backup without Gapps installed.

1 - Created new ROM slot in Safestrap

2 - Restored Stock ROM backup to slot and rebooted

3 - Once booted up, I applied the OTA Block (WiFi was enabled, but initially not connected to the internet on purpose)

4 - Connected WiFi to the internet and verified OTA Block was working.

5 - Disabled and Re-enabled WiFi without a problem.

6 - Disabled WiFi one last time and rebooted with WiFi off.

7 - Once back up and running, tried enabling WiFi and boom....reboot every time I try to enable it.

So, with this simple test I was able to say it doesn't appear to be Gapps related, but instead points to the com.amazon.dcp.apk file being disabled.

[MENTION=5554927]Faznx92[/MENTION] - Any thoughts?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] mikel814:
Thanks, I have one more question

Thanks for your reply OP, I appreciate it. My other question was if I can do this with bootcamp on a mac? What are the system requirement for this tool? Thanks again
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] texmexdud:
So for now, just don't reboot after first applying the OTA block, I guess, since it appears that the reboot causes the problem?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
Safe bet for now. Of course I'm not sure if the issue is with the reboot itself or the combination of the reboot + having WiFi disabled. I will do another test to find out if I can reboot with WiFi enabled and still toggle between enable and disable.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] icedtrip:
So it appears it is a combination of the reboot + having WiFi disabled. Following all the steps I outlined before, I was able to reboot and toggle the WiFi on and off all I wanted, as long as the reboot occurred with WiFi turned on. Once I reboot with WiFi turned off, the problem shows up.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] texmexdud:
Weird, but at least it is a start, hopefully, to help Fasnx92 correct the issue. Thanks for troubleshooting this!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] AndroidMilos:
Wow, I had this same problem with wifi. I have the HDX 7. Created slot one, installed the os, rooted, ota blocked it. Then went onto Cowboy's steps to get Google Play store up n running. First time I did it, it worked like a charm. WIfi on/off was okay. Then I installed a TMO sim, got LTE then tried to enable wifi but it would not. It would just power down then up the Kindle. I redid the slot 1 several times and in proper sequence but as per previous posters mentioned- power down with wifi enabled and there is no problem. I have no problem when I went into the stock rom with wifi on/off/on. So for now, I just deleted slot 1 and am using stock slot and side loading any Android app I need. Hopefully someone can fix this issue with wifi.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
I'm almost sure it's an Amazon firmware issue

. I had a few issues with wifi on stock when it first updated to 13.3.1.0 until I did a factory restore. I also think that the gapps rom made it more prevalent especially with the v2 update. Hell, I still have the issue. Try going into settings and click the Wi-Fi on and exit settings right away. Keep trying. It turns on after a few tries but is strange. I think I saw a thread talking about a driver fix. I'm almost sure it has little to do with the .dcp package because it began before I messed with it. Even stranger, on gapps rom I have completely random reboots (happens about once a week). I agree it is weird.

I'll do some more testing for you guys.

I also like to mention restoring a backup to stock rom from safestrap is a gray area. Please be very very careful doing so. I usually do a factory reset if I have any issues but I remove all mods and root (via Supersu) first. The I disable wifi and begin factory reset. On the start up I connect via wifi then asap I disable wifi in settings. Then do back all the stuff.

I think the issue happens more often when you were previously authenticated with an ap and turning off/on wifi/airplane mode and rebooting the device. That's the only issue I believe off the top of my head when the issue happens the most with me on gapps.

I'm almost positive it's an firmware issue and gapps aggravates it more. I'm not shoving it off but try asking gapps thread for more help.

As of now my

stock

rom (rooted with ota blocked) does not have any issues turning on and off wifi/airplane mode so I

highly doubt disabling the ota notice fetch is the solo cause of the wifi problem

. But I do have the issue on gapps-v2 (Thor) at random. Going into settings and clicking the Wi-Fi on and exit settings right away sometimes work.

Try making a backup before and after you block ota and restore to see what happens for a test

.

If and only if

there's an accurate assumption to be made then .dcp may be part the cause (since gapps removes it and has wifi issues but that still does not explain how I had issues previously with no changes except that it is an firmware issue exacerbated by changes caused to .dcp).

I'm quite busy with finals and stuff but I'll keep an eye on it.

Hope this brings you better insight and thanks for stating issues!

The issues was solved. You have to turn on Bluetooth first then turn on wifi then turn off Bluetooth. Must be a firmware bug.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] texmexdud:
I tried to turn WiFi on and immediately exit settings like Faznx92 suggested, but a quick exit is not an option, the screen grays out immediately and says "turning on WiFi" and won't respond to anything, then a couple of seconds later it reboots. Oh, and after the reboot, after the Safestrap continue/recovery screen, my 8.9 always says "Kindle is upgrading..... please wait" and after a few seconds finally says "starting applications" and boots normally, without any actual update. Is this normal? I am running the rooted stock rom (from a backup) in a Safestrap rom slot, with the Thor Gapps installed and Google Play store was working fine, as well as Amazon books and video, the last time it was connected to the internet about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Faznx92:
:eek:I'm not sure the 8.9" is supported for gapps-v2. It is for v1 though.

Other then that keep trying to enable it. Still no cheddar, go ask over on their thread cause I'm outa ideas. Gapps-v1 and Gapps-v2 threads. I got the 7" hdx for a few reasons. 1 being I knew more support would be available for it (more people would have have it and a higher demand to mod it). Roms will be made for the 8.9" but not in such a demand as the 7". Read through that thread and try asking.

That whole boot up updates notice thing was an issue with gapps but was fixed for Thor into the nexus boot logo on gapps v2. It means no harm, just unsightly. Hope you get your device running alright.

Just to clarify.

Do not

apply the ota block to gapps-v2.

There is zero need.

Gapps-v2 blocks updates. The blocker is for the

stock rom

or if you want to run a backup of it on a rom slot.

What version of gapps are you running? I guess v1. If so try applying the blocker to stock, make a backup then restore to rom slot and apply gapps v1. That's the only other thing that comes to mind.

Also, your were connected to the internet about 3 or 4 weeks ago on gapps v1 version 14.3.1.0 without blocking updates???
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] mikel814:

haha I know that was a newbie sounding question but the only reason I asked was because recently my Asus laptop crapped out on me so my only option is bootcamp with windows XP i believe. Anyways thanks for the help man!

Success! After many attempts, I tried turning on Bluetooth, which worked without causing a reboot, THEN turning on WiFi and immediately attempting to exit settings, and that worked! WiFi turned on without a reboot. And so far, no update.

To answer your question, Faxnx92, I am running v1 of gapps. And yes, I did have WiFi enabled 3 or 4 weeks ago, with Safestrap installed and running my backed up stock rom in a rom slot, with the XPosed module applied and update IP's blocked, but as SOON as I heard that a new update was crashing others with a similar setup and that the XPosed mod was not working, I turned WiFi off.
