Holy crap. I've been away for a while and I came back to a woman who speaks in a constant stream of scattered thought snippets that seem to fit together once you read a few.... Oh, and no progress on the root.

I did notice one weird thing though that I came to tell you all.

OK. My tablet updated over my phones WiFi tether. Lost root and everything, old news. New news is this. Apps won't update over the same exact system. Can get online and all that jazz but it won't update apps.

Any way this could maybe be used for future advantage?

Did you all got her banned again? At this point I am sure that you all don't want an unlocked bootloader or root on this device, I'll continue development on my own. meteorrock, if you still want to go forward with development I'll be more than happy to assist. The rest of you can enjoy your locked down Fire OS.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shabbypenguin:
I havent even setup ADB on this device and i can tell you 80% of the crap that was posted was absolute nonsense. no one got anyone banned but themselves, if i were to start posting zip's that bricked people i cant blame the people who flashed it on why i got banned.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jjrizzelcincy:
No doubt

i think the problem in this forum this hdx forum is that most of the people on here are new and have two post one is,,,, is there root for XXXXxxx??? and when will it come out and oh man i lost root Amazon is evil bla bla bla

there are only few long time members here and only one true dev here in Hashcode

but he is very busy with other stuff, so i truly welcome meteorrock even if she is rambling a bunch of sh*t the rest of us are not smart enough to understand.

we need every type of dev we can get in this hdx forum so enough with the banning of one of the only people here trying to move this device further
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shabbypenguin:
the problem is if you understood what she was saying then youd know that there was nothing being said.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] murso74:
yeah, i didnt' bother reporting her because it was more or less harmless (for me, because i wasn't reading those rambling walls of text) just seemed like some kid looking for attention, and got it in the wrong way
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Srixun:
how about we keep working on the root?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jjrizzelcincy:
regardless it was harmless and last time i checked this was a hacking community for development, not a chit chat forum!!! so lets stop with the same old stuff and see if we can get some devs in here maybe from the htc evo/one/dna/etc to see if they can help with the bootloader and such and maybe see if hashcode has found anything yet ,, this would be a real sweet device with the right devs involved

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shabbypenguin:
well im a rec dev so i have to keep up appearances :P

picked up a mint hdx 7 for $115 yesterday and ive been just playing with it, very fast and fluid. however dont expect anything in terms of development, from my understanding no hope of root, even less chance of bootloader. if it was vulnerable to loki i may have been able to ask dan to port it, but i cant imagine amazon hasnt patched it if it was ever even exploitable.

even if root is done updates force themselves on us making staying rooted :/

I get the feeling this xda section is turning into a bit of a front. Im out till the feeling shakes. Later times boys.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] plasticarmyman:
honestly, and i hate saying this, this is a pretty sweet device even without Root.

The resolution is phenomenal, the sound is awesome, and with aptoide and 1market we can still get all the apps we have purchased off the play store.

Yeah, Root is wonderful and i would love to eff around with this device, if i think about it too much i do get frustrated, but at least it's not a sh**ty device that we NEED root to make it better, it's a pretty damn good device that we WANT to make better.

So if someone does get root, i'll be stoked. But if we don't i'll be bummed but not like "eff this i'm gonna sell my tablet back now!"

i paid over $300 for this thing and imo it was worth it, if we can make it better then it definitely will be worth it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] berndt_toast:
Yeah, I agree. Staying rooted is difficult, but doable. I am still on the rootable version (13.3.1.0) and have stayed on it even through the OTA updates that have been released. I have stopped them from auto-applying (and from even being seen as updates) by doing the following:

I renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/

I also renamed com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/

Doing those prevent OTA updates from working and if you check for updates from the device, it says none are found (at least it has worked for me).

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] PariahNine:
Is this foolproof? As in, as long as you do these two things you'll be able to maintain root no matter what Amazon attempts to push? And is this method mutually exclusive of Safestrap?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
All I did was SS install on both stock & Rom-slot + build.prop mod.

If safestrap is installed as such, the updates cannot completely install. Build.prop mod shows the updates already installed or a greater version installed, which also stops updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] berndt_toast:
It's been foolproof for me so far. With these two changes, I have maintained root on 13.3.1.0 and it has not automatically updated. I have safestrap installed, but did all my modifications (installed Google Play store) on the stock rom slot (I know, not wise, but whatevs).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Reckerr:
Can I get some info on this build.prop and what to edit? And before you do, if you do, is it safe to edit. I have SS installed on both Stock and Rom slot. I never even go back to Stock unless I get the wifi reboot glitch and I hate messing with wifi once I'm in stock slot.

To the other guy or anyone with knowledge, is editing those OTA update files to .old any safe or are there risks there too?

And if I do edit them, do they have to be edited on the Stock slot or the Rom Slot or both.

I hate being in the Stock Rom for whatever reason just for fear of updating. I kept my tab on 13.3.1. for a while now and I'm accustomed to root. Would be very terrible if it were to update now.

So Any info would be appreciated, and I'm sure others would appreciate it as well after seeing your answers.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] berndt_toast:
As far as I know, it is safe to do. The apk file you rename, just causes it to not be found when running the "Check for updates" option. The OTACerts is just extra insurance. I might be wrong about this, but if you are using safestrap, you are sharing the System partition between your rom slots and your stock slot (it only actually gets changed when you restore a backup to the rom slot or restoring the stock slot). So changing it on your Rom slot or stock slot should be the same.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Reckerr:
First issue, the renaming OTACerts.zip to OTACerts.zip.old via ES File explorer came up "Task Failed" when trying.

Second issue, I don't even see a apk file in System/app....
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] berndt_toast:
Try with Root Explorer. I have never had any issues with that file explorer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] PariahNine:
You need to remount /system as R/W. When you finish don't forget to reset it to R/O.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] PariahNine:
Thanks, brother. Working perfectly for me. Was glad to finally reclaim half my disk space. Went ahead and deleted ROM Slot-1 after confirming that these modifications kept the update from hitting the Stock ROM slot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Reckerr:
Exactly what I needed to do. Forgot all about that. The other issue still stand though. I see no such amazon file in system/app. I even did a search. No results...not sure..

Edit. Perfect....I'm on stock Rom now and found it. Seems that was removed in the android Rom for that very reason. I renamed it and I hit check for updates and it says last update failed. And doesn't download. I think this is the end of worrying....

Thanks a million people.

Hi,

I am thinking of flashing the 4.4 upgrade to my z1 to see if the Bluetooth issues that I had on 4.3 will be resolved. My question is -

If I upgrade to 4.4 and I am still having Bluetooth issues, will I have any problems downgrading back to 4.4.2?

Any help will be appreciated!

P.S. I don't need to have root access!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes because you cannot downgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2, they are the same

If you mean downgrading to 4.2 or 4.3, it should be fine (AFAIK)

Remember there was the loss of IMEI going from 4.3 to 4.2, so I suggest only downgrading to 4.3

Hi everyone

This is my first thread, so I decide to make it useful to everyone

Let's GO !

What You Want :

ES File Explorer File Manager (OR any file explorer supports zip extracting)

Rooted Phone

Nandroid Backup (You don't know how important it is)

1- enable root explorer and set permission to r/w (read & write)

2- extract the flashable zip to your memory

3- go to the existing folder

4- copy everything except META-INF folder to the root of your phone

5- "Must" show replace confirmation select confirm

6- After the copy operation is finished, reboot your device

7- Done, Congratulations

PLEAS NOTE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DEVICE IF YOU BREAK IT RESTORE THE NANDROID BACKUP
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
note if its a new file you need to set permissions of the file

most files in app are rw-w-w however some may vary depending on what file it is

at the end of the day if you have a flashable zip its much better to flash certain things than push to system so if the flashable zip has already been made for you than you might as well use it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] krsharjun:
One doubt please

I think this method only for apk files. "my doubt is this method is posible to replace frameworks files..?"
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
yes just push to system and set permissions - normally rw-r-r

although I dont know why you would want to do this as its always better to flash the file and since you have a flashable zip why not just flash it
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] krsharjun:
Just a confuse

as by my knowlege While replacing framework files means it will stuck the mobile then how can we set permission.. ? :confused: please help me.. and yes u said is correct but creating update.zip which need an a computer i am so lazy :p
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
with root browser you can set permissions of any file - please search how

it depends what framework files you are replacing - you cant just replace with any old file from a different rom - it wont work

if its been designed for your rom or you are modding your own files then thats fine

and a flashable zip takes two secs - you dont need a pc - and iv posted a template loads of times

here is it again - just add any files you want to flash to framework in the framework folder

if you want files to go to the app folder just create a folder in system in the zip called app and put files there

same for any other folder in system

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruezi333:
Hi,

I tried this procedure to get root access on a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/03-07-2012-cf-root-6-4-supersu-cwm5-5-t1695238

The installation worked fine, but I'm not sure whether I need to run SuperSU afterwards to get the "su" root access.

SuperSU comes in version 0.93 and tell it requires being updated.

I'm trying to get root access from the adb shell.

The device is detected and "adb shell" works, but not the "su" command afterwards.

Also, "adb root" tells "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".

I chose the above procedure to root as I don't want to overwrite the kernel, nor data.

Can anyone help ?

Configuration details :

Android 4.3

I9300XUGMK6

Kernel 3.0.31-2429075

dpi@HP20

JSS15J.I9300XXUGNA5
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruezi333:
kaglows controlling

Well, it seems that the new security of Android 4.3 is the cause of the difficulty in rooting with CF-Root 6.4.

Furthermore, CF-Root is no more maintained and was replaced by CF-Autoroot.

But I fear destroying the "/data" folder and "mmssms.db" by installing CF-Autoroot, as this means a new kernel.

I wonder if it would be possible to upgrade SuperSU instead.

So the two options :

a) installing CF-Autoroot

b) upgrading SuperSU

Who tested one of them on the Galaxy S3 I9300, and which were the consequences on the MMS and SMS database ?

Thanks

If you're rooted, just check /data/media folder. It should have the three folders: 0, legacy, obb. (/sdcard mounted at 0). If you have lot of items like in sdcard, it might be taking extra space and showing as "SystemData".

Same thing happened to me, and I deleted everything except those three folders (don't touch 0, it will delete things in actual /sdcard). Those duplicate items might have come there after a cwm data restore.. but, not sure about that.

If this is the case with you, please take precautions before deleting anything.
