When released root?

When released root? 14.3.2.2:confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] cobob:
I hope the new root program will be come a little faster , The amazon ROM is terrible .
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] storkhsu:
Awesome, can't wait.:laugh:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Just to clarify I'm not releasing it, a (unnamed) person is.

I however, will be testing it once released and possibly add it to my root tool if all goes well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Btw, has anyone heard from the vroot people? Are they working on something? More then likely not.

That's crap, I did just spent around 20 minutes to write a wonderful speech about this crap with quotes, endgaget, pspupdatea, xda articles about me to say I'm a nice, cool and old school hacker which can say this man is crap by just teasing this crap.

He... I did forget to say that this 20 min crappy speech was lost by this crappy taptalk app and that English is not my primary language (I did spent a very very few time at school) and that I'm a little drunk, which is not very interesting here !

I just want to say this guy is not a guy like us/me. You have no interest in waiting to release something cool except getting some attention. This can lead to a long debate but this is my point.

Well I should drink more as I'm not far to update just to find an exploit and **** this crap.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] iMJets:
The above person needs to stop drinking and typing on forums :confused:

As for this root, I find it hard to believe that a random person has found a exploit, and is going to utilize it to get everyone root. But I am going to wait patiently, just like I do with everything, and I will continue trying to work on my own in airplane mode.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
Itchy fingers..

My 8.9 is a week old and I'm dying to get at it. Will be waiting for the brains out there to make it possible. Meanwhile I'll keep it offline and be checking this forum 3x's a day!!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
I'm just spreading the word what was pm to me. I'm not looking for fame. I just want this bad boy cracked, rooted, and everything in between. But if people decide to leave thanks, that's their doing. I'm just trying to help keep talk active.

To further clarify, I received news/quotes that 13/14.3.2.2 may be rootable and that someone found it. But the person seems to be waiting to inform Amazon, then decide to release it. All I'm really saying is if you want to wait for the

possible

root access, now is the time to wait. If you're blocking ota, just wait around. If your not blocking updates, you should keep your device disconnected and wait.

Please see the word possible and not mistake it for probable. Patience is the best thing for now.

But regardless, please inform others.

iMJets this isn't towards you, I'm just addressing the question
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] plasticarmyman:
I was the person who notified faz that there might be a root released soon.

I was PMed information from a verified XDA developer who provided me information about a /possible/ root getting released for this update in the near future.

The person who PMd me and the person who provided them with the information want to remain anonymous for their own reasons.

I am not a recognized developer or a person of interest in the development community. Which is why I provided the information I had to Faz.

What you do with this information is up to you.

I personally believe in the spirit of Open Source and think that information like this should be shared, I did not think any of you would believe me if I said anything so I reached out to Faz.

+1 I have never seen anyone here on xda being such on idiot that after finding a root exploit (likely a lot of work), he makes sure that it is patched up in the latest version and realease it later. I think GPL should be modified to disallow usage of locked bootloaders.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
mine

I received my new 8.9 last week and I skipped setup turned on airplane mode and checked firmware it came with the rootable one .so u should check unless u let it go to wifi already then i t probably updated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
Thanks, but alas my excitement over my new toy was my doom... and I know better. I am sure the brilliant minds will come through with root for us though - just hard to be patient since I think this device has so much potential.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ferrouskid:
Well the thing is next time I think it could be wise to ask the devs to maybe work on different ROMS, for example optimising the paranoid android ROM maybe? The thing is, that way the Amazon ROM would be off all the time, right?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
New update released. Notice for all.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] oOBubbleBoyOo:
Good to know, everyone should know this.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ferrouskid:
Well basically, as far as I understand,and please do correct me if I'm wrong,I think the way that Safestrap worked is a bit like a vm, thus the Amazon OS was always running in the background. However if we use ROM manager it would be more reliable,since it would only switch on the ROM that you are using.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
hashcode

hash code would be the 1 thatcould answer that definitely....but I do not believe so I think that statement came from the paranoia of getting updated because they did not turn off the wifi on their stock slot while running slot one...I believe it is because they did not have it properly blocked in the slot they had booted up.....there can be only 1 lol
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
I have faith in you guys/gals. Never been stumped on any of my tech before! xda always my first stop!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
I believe safestrap is not a vm nor does the rom slot system run like an client with the stock system as host. (Fyi. You can run a vm on the kfhdx. Read more.) To my knowledge, safestrap runs a system data partition in a file as the rom slot but can't touch the bootloader or kernel. Kind of like dual booting but with a single kernel that's locked. You can change the complete system to the point the kernel permits. I'm believe this is how safestrap works but I'm still unsure.

The reason people were being updated because if you run a stock backup on a rom slot, there were still the basic system files to execute the ota procedure. Then the core system reboots to update and is replaced/patched with a new kernel and you loose root permissions.

I'm not an android dev and I'm not 100% on the relationship between the bootloader and the kernel but I believe it's fairly close.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] R1Mike:
If you are still on version 14.3.1.0 and are rooted, then all you need to do is rename 2 files.

rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.old in /etc/security/

and rename com.amazon.dcp.apk to com.amazon.dcp.apk.old in /system/app/

I've done this on my 8.9, and still have root. I am able to use wifi daily with no issues and have not been updated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] holeshot77:
Yeah unfortunately i lost root on the last update. So im just waiting to see if an exploit is found and released. I use my kindle a lot and without having the mobile network it makes it hard so im only staying on airplane for a week.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Please hear me out.

You people who keep commenting 'I'm sick of waiting', 'fu*k Amazon', 'bla blaa blaaaa' please, return it. No one is holding you down and forcing you to keep the device. You spent the money and so you can return it, sell it, or trade it for a Nexus 7. This way of reasoning is compared to people who do not research who they vote for and then are protest when they aren't represented. I find it sad we stooped to this level. Now, there are us who knew what we were putting are hard earned cash towards and still took a bite out the pie. We knew the hdx may never be developed but we're in it for the struggle. We knew it would be a game of cat and mouse. And so, we dance.

We can try to nudge Amazon all we want but the truth is they are a corporation valued by shares in the market. Their one and only goal is to make money and make more of it faster. There's no beating around the bush. If you're angered by not getting what you want faster, then vote differently with your money, that's all.

My point is, complaining about xyz is not fully productive. All of you, place your xyz's in Amazon's lap and let them respond. Complaining can motivate people to do xyz faster but only to an extent. At this moment we (xda/hdx) are at a limit. The rules of the game are to wait between the rocks or get caught in the stream passing by.

Can't handle it? Fail and be sad in a corner.

Your choice.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gr8icu:
You do realize that if no one complains about the challenges/inconveniences hdx users experience, that research you speak of will be meaningless as potential buyers will practically have no idea of how it's like to live with a crippled device...public knowledge is good, the more the knowledge consumers have the better their purchasing decisions are. Many of us haven't invested in amazon stocks/could care less about their profits and simply want to spread the word of truth/ warn potential buyers. When I was purchasing this tablet I looked on xda and realized it could be rooted, so I thought I'd be good...but then the forced update came and here I am.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] txgranny:
Thanks

For years we've all (myself included) benefited from the great minds and determination of xda. We forget that they are also moms and dads with jobs and other responsibilities. Why they undertake the thankless (for the most part) dirty work, I don't know - but I'm glad they do. We're all wanting the most from our tech and patience is difficult, but... when 14.3.2.2 is cracked it'll have been worth the wait. :good:

till waiting :). i havent touched my HDX for 2 weeks and its not so bad
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
new

I even went as far as buying a new one I bought a new 8.9 32 GB when I received it two weeks ago as I was anticipating it was still on rootable software currently I have 2 7 inch HDX that has only been used for media players and games for nearly a month since I lost root on one of them.... And I do understand to a point why some of the developers keep screaming buy equipment without locked loaders and you won't have problems.. But as far as I know there hasn't been anything that matches the HDX specs until maybe recently even still they are not offered in a 7 inch in 8.9 inch models at any price... And I really don't feel as though that HDX is considered cheap in anyway pricewise even though they say they are subsidized..

Wait, wuttt? Is this for real? Has he and his team already done it or just working on it? Is this the same kinda deal as like s off, something like 25 bucks for each device to use the software to unlock the tablet? Are you on the team? What info can you provide for us beyond this tweet? I mean, with a bootloader unlock and cm or asop or pretty much any custom Rom I feel like this could potentially be the best tablet I've ever owned. Don't tease a nerd like this.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shabbypenguin:
i would imagine its going to be a 25 dollar off kind of deal as before, no im not on the team so all the info i have is same as yall.

makes me kind of sad, i recently sold mine to pick up a vita (which im now in the process of trading for a mad catz M.O.J.O) because i was just bored of it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hashcode:
I can confirm that the unlock is real.

It should be noted that users should NEVER EVER get or take another update from Amazon. This usually involves an upgrade to the "aboot" partition which will IMMEDIATELY RELOCK the device.

Once the device is unlocked several key changes take place in the functionality:

- The device no longer checks for signatures on recovery or boot images. This would allow for custom recovery and the potential for full AOSP ROMs.

- If powered on with both volume buttons pressed, fastboot mode is started for easier recovery of the device.

The unlock, may only apply to certain versions of the OS (*.3.2.1 etc). Some tests for downgrading and then running the exploit need to happen over the weekend and I'm sure that's why you don't see this released yet.

Also, there is probably going to be a fee to unlock, that's a new business model for devs to still make some money off unlock exploits while keeping that exploit from being patched by the OEMs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] conan1600:
THIS IS AWESOME. I feel that it could potentially make this tablet the best on the market. The bootloader unlock is the first step but useless without a custom recovery and rom. I hope the flood gates open wide. I'm fine with fee based services for big things, or even certain PROVEN ROMs as long as they are maintained for a time. In addition to a reasonable fee I will honor my bounty agreement as well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shabbypenguin:
recovery isnt that hard, heck if someone dumps stock recovery you could probably have a test build ready for when the first unlock is done.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hashcode:
I discussed with [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] how this might work and there could be some complications to releasing the unlock for the HDX's. :/

Regardless, stay away from any Amazon updates. If the exploit can eventually be released, those on an exoloitable bootloader can use it.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] iattilagy:
If the unlock comes up there will be custom roms and recovery in weeks (recovery may come with the unlock, since it has to be proven to work somehow), they are much less hard to make than an unlock. At least I will compile AOKP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] icedtrip:
I read this and got super excited!! :victory: :laugh: :good: :highfive:

Then I read this and my mood did a 180 :crying:

I've stayed rooted for a few months now since I got my HDX with rootable firmware. I'm going to continue to use this thing the way I have since I got it, but I'm praying that this thing is released. I don't mind at all paying a fee for this kind of work. I just want AOSP on my device. I want to be able to build and tweak my own AOSP or some other Android variation. I want my device to be fully mine.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:

Safestrap installed and it comes up but ....

I used towelroot and SuperSU and installed Safestrap-Apollo-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk

However, when Safestrap loads it looks like it's only displaying half the page, i.e., it appears to want the KindleFire to be in portrait but it's displaying in Landscape.

Also, pressing the buttons on the screen doesn't do anything. The power button apparently locks the screen (which I can't swipe away) and the + and - buttons cause things to happen but delayed, sometimes, and sometimes nothing.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wallywallywally:
Edit: Yes, what's happening is the screen is displaying 90 degrees rotated. When I touch buttons where they display, nothing happens, but if I mentally rotate the screen 90 degrees and touch where the button would be if that were the case, I get the action of the button in question.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wallywallywally:

---------- Post added at 04:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

Luckily I was able to reflash with Safestrap-Thor-3.75-os3.2.4-B02.apk and it seems to work perfectly.

I flashed on the thor-gapps-13.3.0.0-v2.zip ROM into Rom slot 1 but when it loads the screen remains blank.

The buttons (power and volume) illicit beeps and sounds so I suspect the ROM is loading but the screen isn't turning on.

There is no thor gapps ROM for 13.3.2.3.2 and the page stats DO NOT USE thor-gapps-13.3.2.4 if my firmware isn't there so anyone got any ideas?

[MENTION=5609437]wallywallywally[/MENTION]: According to several member here, you could flash the new rom for 13.3.2.4 on the kernel of 13.3.2.3.2, it works perfectly despite the warning from the author of that rom. You can read that thread thoroughly to know more.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wallywallywally:
Yes, I took a chance and installed that ROM and it seems to work perfectly.

There are a couple of questions I have.

1) It has 4G but I am keeping it in airplane mode. Before rooting and ROMing it, it simply came up with a screen to connect to Verizon and the configuration menus. Does it have 4G for life or do I need an account?

2) I loaded up my normal batch of android apps and the install partition is almost full (only has about 3 gig). I cannot "move" the apps to the SDCARD parition like I can with every other android device I own, none of the apps or system menus that allow you to do that even have the option to move, but my Disk Usage app says the 3gig partition is almost full, and there's a 26gig partition that is virtually empty. Any ideas on why I can't move apps to there and a possible solution?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wallywallywally:
