Obviously "anybody reading blah blah blah", isn't the case, as evident by the brick posts & my PM inbox. Sure, this is xda, but it's not the XDA it used to be. Part of that is because of the ease with which one can obtain root. You used to have to do everything manually, so you actually had to read, sometimes info for a completely different device, and then spend time figuring out how to apply it to your particular device. I am not saying nobody should root, frankly I do not care either way. What I am saying is that it is probably a bad idea for some people. Seriously, you think the guy that had no idea what Linux was, or the guy that thought you double click on the adb.exe to make it magically unbrick a device are good candidates for having unrestricted world writable access to a device? No. All you have to do is read some of the posts to know it isn't a good idea for some ill-prepared people & they obviously DIDN'T understand the consequences, otherwise they wouldn't have tried doing things that even the newest well informed member would ever try doing.

At any rate, this is what I think of now whenever I think of XDA, particularly the HDX forums lately. LMAO....

Say what?

Do any of you have anything useful to add besides your nanny pandering bull****? It's funny when you start digging for info on rooting a Kindle Fire HDX and this one of the first things you run across, a bunch of nannies moaning about it being too easy? Don't do it because you might break your toy because you are an idiot? Seriously? Is this a day care or am I missing something?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] revircs:
Thanks....but....

I'm not a developer....nor a hacker....nor a ...whatever.....just someone who enjoys reading and learning all that I can about my phone and Kindle Fire HDX....have rooted a variety of phones and Kindles through the years - first "mod" was to be able to download music and my own ringtones to a first edition Razr back in the day. I know there are so many people smarter than me - in some areas...not all - and I gratefully use that info and knowledge I get AT MY OWN RISK....as most people do, I think....the XDA site has over 5 million members - will there be some idiots who don't read or throw common sense and caution to the wind and screw up their devices?...sure....shame on them.

But if others with that knowledge have an elitist attitude about the rest of us - well - shame on them too. If someone knows how to make it easy for someone to be able to get the most of their device - while knowing the risks - BUT WON'T SHARE because they feel we don't 'deserve" that info - please....don't post! Just keep it to yourself and enjoy the fruits of your own labors.

PS...think it's a bit of a coincidence that when the romaster root surfaced - from a Chinese developer - all he** broke loose....it seems others had the knowledge but didn't want to share....oh well.....and please...this is just my humble opinion.

I appreciate all the efforts of the developers and testers who make it easier for people like me to really get the most out of their devices - but I think there is a reason that most of the major companies lock down theirs....to stop the ones who will stupidly brick the device and blame the company....thanks for reading.

LOL I have noticed everybody that has chimed in about any complaints going on here have not been here to help recover in any of these devices last few days .. Trying to help people that refuse to help themselves.... I mean really we can only feed them so much info and babysit so much and get told please help please hello please help me . And when you attempt too. they have absolutely no clue of what you are talking about or what you're trying to get them to do it just looks too complicated so they keep asking for help... Expecting somebody here to make an easy one click.. To salvage their mistakes and keep their mommy and daddy from finding out they bricked their tablets.....and btw if this device wasnt soo fn locked down.. We would not be having this discussion because recovery of a brick would be easy with fastboot capabilities and unlock bootloader click click done. So I call BS honestly over the last few years out of all these devices I've been here in xda tinkering with.. The only time see false warranty claims are always on devices that are locked up tight.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jptros:
If they refuse to help themselves then don't help them. Claiming that something shouldn't be easy and the fear mongering and elitism aren't helping anyone. Instead of trying to be a nanny document the known problems and work arounds if there are any. If you don't want to do that then don't. Save the other BS for your significant other cause no one else worth concerning yourself with wants to hear it. This thread is pointless, people here want to root their devices for any number of reasons; they why's don't matter and if it goes south it's not your problem.

I understand your point and this thread was not started as a wine fest it was supposed to be started for a fair warning I can't help it if he had a sarcastic tone to his voice from trying to help ignorant people all weekend and I think it's hilarious how people are chiming in complaining about our complaints but none of them have been here to help all the ignorant folk ... I'm just saying as one that has been here for the last five days repairing brick or trying to help that is ... Is a lot of and uneeded tension here I understand .. And it is turning" quite the Flamer thread ... So instead of chiming here to complain about our complaint and tell us to keep our complaints to ourselves as you are here complaining your self ..

Did you not read OP? This device is still locked up tight i.e. no fasrboot capabilities and bootloader is still locked up tight...

There is no easy way to recover this device repeat there is no easy way to recover this device if you decide to Root which is your choice and you decide to Modify something else which is also your choice there is no repeat there is no easy way to recover this device if u something incorrectly..

older

Because that is a slightly older device developers had time to develop a bypass for the bootloader on that old OMAP processor... And that is why the factory cable works on it to get it into fast boot..because of type of processor. The hdx has a snapdragon. If you want a kindle to hack it is the one I would advise you to buy.. It is a very nice tablet and may be recovered fairly easily and can have custom kernels and custom ROMs flash do it. Just not sure I'm just not sure how far away the HDX model is from that standing even if it's ever going to happen.

Agree. I understand the Kindle is a different animal I just wanted to use Google play and install ADW launcher, my favorite, and add a theme and customize the stupid Kindle layout.

So I'm appreciative of this root option. Thank you.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
fyi

Every brick on the first two pages of the general section and the troubleshooting section of these forums started off with the exact same needs lmfao. That's the point.. That is all he is saying here. even as of the moment the bootloader is still locked down solid (publicly at least) and we still do not have a way to consistently fix or fast boot bricked devices. A tiny mistake makes for a instant paperweight for inexperienced user. Unlike most other devices. Remember flash and mod responsibly.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] mitchblue:
From day one of the first device that was rooted..the responsibilities are always with the user. Notices, warnings are always nice but why harp on a one click root option? I didn't root for a long time because I knew nothing about the ins and outs..

If you're unsure you stay away..the essence of life. I don't stand on my head because I know what could happen ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
Take a look around

I will agree with you hundred percent , but obviously not everybody here shares your hesitance.. Or wisdom apparently. And that is the person that this warning is for. So just pass it up if it does not apply to you. This warning is going to instill reality for those who do not know better or believe this device is similar to others they have owned previously. Like I said if this warning does not apply to you please do not take offense to it. Believe me there are so many here in this forum particularly. At least need to be informed of differences.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
ok

The only dangerous really dangerous part with this device is ignorance I would recommend reading as much of this forum is possible to prevent problems and you cannot get Gapps to work on this without root.

Download the file that goes with your device onto a different rooted android device.

Rename the file from .bin to .zip transfer to your Kindle and flash. If you have any more problems call Amazon and get a replacement device and do not modify it would be my advice .

Hey, I watched the whole video in the first post, and I think everything everyone wrote is probably great and all, but I don't have any time and I need someone to help me unbrick my phone.

I think I used the "Kindle Nook STD" rom to root my phone tablet thingy ... I believe they guy who sold it to me said it was the "I-Phone8" from "HTE", with the jellybean version of Apple OS. I can't be sure though because he was turned away from me reaching into the trunk of his car at the time.

Anyway, I don't know what went wrong, but my phone isn't working now and I was hoping you could help me. Also, I think it might be made out of cardboard. How can I tell? Should I open it? Please help. ... help ...:D

Had KitKat on my phone and decided to root via Towelroot method. That worked great.

I then found that Titanium Backup would not work but found that I needed to modify a line in the permissions.xml file. I did that and rebooted. No issues.

A little while later, I noticed that many processes started crashing on me. Ex. Amazon, com.google.process.gapps, etc, etc. I cannot access the Internet via the browser. I get a message in the browser about 'DNS lookup failed'. I am trying to connect via the mobile network. Not connected to any WiFi.

The phone itself works and I can receive text messages. Nothing on the Internet side though.

I have used Odin and reflashed stock just to make sure. I have tried a factory reset as well and still the problem persists.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT: Never-mind. I found that the solution was to do a factory reset AFTER I went back to the stock ROM. It works now.

Hi,

As I don't have enough posts I have been redirected here by xda assist.

I am trying to root my Sony Z1C (D5503) and I have read about the new towel root method. There is a useful topic on towel root and Xperia phones including Z1C by (http://xdaforums.com/show...2784900&page=7) but there is nothing about using this method with a Mac and I can't figure out how to do that. The guide says that it should work on Linux, don't know if that means that it can work on Mac with some minor changes...

There is a way to put the adb drivers on mac (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1917237 although I was not able to reset the path, not sure why) but that's as far as I went.

Or if not with towel root is there a way to root relatively easily a Z1C on mac ?

I've had more exoskins. Than I can recall.

Black and white carbon, pink, and 4 Bubinga wood. My last two died from a fast chewing toddler the other sacrificed itself on a nasty concrete drop.

So against better judgement and wanting something different I bought "Fine Wood Teak".

Lets start the review. There's nothing fine about it. It goes on as have most the others, the pink was extraordinarily hard to place and had bubbles, the top right and bottom left corners are perfect, the bottom right had minimal overlap, the top left has minor gaps.

The left side is maybe 1/2mm to short. All the cut outs including second mic and ir are also perfect.

Since I just ordered my 8th, you can tell the issues with fit are no big deal. With the dark skins the minor gaps aren't noticeable, with the pink and white they were quite noticeable.

Back to the "Fine Wood" Teak. The color is mostly what I expected however it's "washed out" and has hints of grey or green in places.

While the Bubinga easily passed for wood with its gloss and texture this one has neither, it's matte.

It looks like a vinyl skin on a phone. (*While studying just now I've noticed the skin does have a wood texture, but it's masked by the matte finish).

During my installation I noticed it seems to pick up light colored dust. I'm not sure how the longevity of this will be.

White I've been more that happy with the other xgearlive skins I wouldn't recommend this particular one. I'll be soon replacing it with the Bubinga wood skin.

I live in the UK and had been using the FTV since it came out. I have been using vyprVPN on my router loaded with DD-WRT. So I am able to access all of the US content. Since I rooted my FTV last night, everytime I go into Hulu (from the FTV) the IP address I use gets flagged by Hulu and I am not able to use that IP anymore. Has root enabled the FTV to provide some extra information to the Hulu server to flag those IP addresses? I did not have an issue before I rooted. I don't want to keep using different addresses until I figure out what's going on. So far only Hulu is flagging the addresses, Amazon, Netflix etc work fine. I checked the SU app, Hulu does not have root access. Any ideas?

Unroot then reset and see what happens. It might just be a new measure from Hulu that started around the time you rooted.

Try installing Root Cloak - Hulu's always been top drawer paranoid about content leakage, and it would not surprise me if they were asking the OS "hey, is there a copy of su in /system?" and reporting back to the mothership if one is seen.

Thanks, Ill give this a try when i get home

UPDATE: it did not work, I tried it with a new IP address, I was able to watch about 15. It kicked me off and when I came back, the IP was flagged. The odd part is that this only happens with the rooted FTV. I use my rooted GS4 to watch hulu. I have not have an issue. I used it today just fine.

The part that sucks is that once the IP is flagged, It cannot be used to stream from hulu from any other device or browser. I removed root and the IP flagging stopped. I guess I will need to stay unrooted in order to use hulu....
