I created a prerooted 6.3.3 update that can be installed in twrp.

I have Installed with 2.2.2.1 and 2.7.1.0 versions of Twrp

Didn't change much,

I replaced stock install script with tobiascuypers' install script from [Rom] Stock 6.3.2 [Mods] [04.22.13] [Primary/Alt]

Added Root files (busybox, su, SuperSU)

Added Google Apps (Framwork, Play Store, Calendar, Google Voice, Google +)

Added other apps (Root Browser, Go Launcher, Facebook)

Instructions

Download update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip, place on sd card, wipe data (may be optional), install with TWRP

wipe cache, reboot, may take a few mins to boot first time.

Tested Google play (signed in, downloaded apps)

Didn't test amazon sign in.

Edit; see my [2014][Pre-Rooted][Stock]System Version 6.3.3-Original Kindle Fire Only thread

Does this require a factory cable?
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
if 6.3.3 is installed already yes a fastboot cable is needed to install fff bootloader and twrp.

If 6.3.2. Is installed, use kindle fire utility, to install bootloader and twrp.
[Kindle Fire General] overground:
[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] - Installed fine with only dalvik / cache wipe over existing 6.3.3 (I removed most of the 3rd party apps prior to install).

Probably deserves it's own thread in development.

First thing I did was freeze OTASilentInstall.apk in /system/app/. I may consider removing it completely in the future.

Thanks for this. :good:
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
If I make a new version I will remove updater, and maybe all the extra apps other than play store, and ones need for root (supersu, binary, and busybox),

Yes thought I would start a thread in Dev, but wasn't sure about the new General Public License rules (posting sources like the kernel), most of the devices I follow have it stickied in the dev section, but I see it is not in Kindle dev section?

I hadn't really looked for the updater apk, so that will help.

Thanks for the feedback
[Kindle Fire General] overground:
You're not modifying the kernel, therefore there is no source (or changes) to post. GPL does not apply in this case.

Just specify in your thread that the ROM contains the stock, unmodified Amazon kernel.

If anyone beefs you on it, you can point them to this post.

Stock 6.3.3 to rooted 6.3.3...no factory cable!

I am too tired at the moment to explain further, but I will when I have some time.

I had made a factory cable, but it wouldn't work for me as I am using a laptop for the connected PC and it was trying to draw too much current from the usb port. I went with the usb mode-open case-shorted-pin-method and now have a rooted 6.3.3. Everything works so far. I have booted it over and over all day with just a few hiccups. Next I will attempt to dual-boot it with rooted 6.3.3 and Android 4.4. Will post details soon.

If your the one who posted Shell was $ not # , I replied that it means adb does not have root access, could be because kindle is not rooted.

enter command exit

enter command adb devices

should get something like 12345679 recovery

then try to push a file any file like a text file needs to be in same folder as adb, if name is test.txt

Having trouble setting up for a custom ROM - OtterX

It was suggested I look into "Project OtterX" It looks REALLY exciting.

I am having trouble laying the foundation before I go forward. (Backing up my existing partitions) Otterx uses an improved partition space structure that I feel makes a lot of sense.

I'm getting an error message after typing in the first command so I'm stuck.

After entering the command "adb shell" I get the "~ # ←[6n prompt"

Then back to

Success

Success rooting and updating my Kindle 1st Gen.

Tried KFU0.99 first, but it was unable to detect the kindle's status. Then I went down a bit of a rat hole installing the Google USB driver (via KFU), and separately the Amazon USB driver. The former is all that was needed. Windows probably needed to be rebooted (there was a lot of rebooting). Eventually adb just worked (hint: use "adb devices" to see if it is working), and I got fbmode installed and run. Then of course I wound up in fastboot mode -- which is a pretty funny name for a mode where the system appears to hang endlessly in the boot. I was fairly sure I'd borked it here ("fastboot devices" didn't work) but rebooting windows let the kindle boot all the way up. After I understood what fastboot mode was, then I got FFF and TWRP (2.2.2.1) installed, possibly by running my window in Admin mode. Then I needed to update TWRP to 2.8.0.2, but I couldn't figure out how to get back into fastboot mode -- until I discovered the FFF for a few moments while booting _IS_ in fastboot mode. So you just reboot and quickly issue your fastboot commands. Once done, I made backups and then installed cyanogenmod 11 and boy did that boot take a long time.

But now I'm up on a fancy new rom and things feel just as fast as the clunky amazon build.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
you need the drivers from KFU to use fastboot mode , you likely just needed to reboot pc

Fastboot mode was not created by amazon, it is standard for android devices, amazon just chose not to change the boot screen

I recommend powering off kindle, sending fastboot commands, then powering on device, so you don't miss the window.

but you can upgrade/downgrade twrp in twrp with the flashable TWRP zips in my Kindle Fire Flashable Recoveries/FFF TWRP/COTR/CWM[2014]

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Hello XDA,

I am currently on the last month of my contract with Sprint, it ends 7/31/2014. I am currently on a family plan with 2 other lines, 3 total and at the end of July want to take my number from Sprint and move to Tmobile. I have never switched providers before and I am not sure what to expect.

Do I need to wait until 7/31 to actually switch without paying ETFs?

Can I activate my Sprint Nexus 5 on TMobile? It was purchased at Best Buy and was Sprint labeled, but it should be fine for Tmobile with their Sim correct?

Would I need to do anything with Sprint or if I waited until 7/31 can I just visit a Tmobile store and they take care of porting my number and essentially telling Sprint to kick rocks?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
There was some discussion early on that the sprint nexus 5s were different but I believe that was wrong I can look more into it. If you are going to T-Mobile postpaid then the easiest option would be to go in store. When you port your number they say it can take up to 24 hours to be finalized but in my case was about six hours. Keep your sprint account active until the port is complete or you will lose your number. Once the port is complete sprint may cancel your service or give you a new number so call to make sure it's cancelled.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrmedia:
1) You do not have to wait to switch.

2) Probably should look at trading in your Sprint N5 to avoid any CDMA (Sprint) and GSM (T-Mo) issues down the road.

3) You don't need to do anything w/ Sprint. Simply head into T-Mo and let them port and handle from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
2. Shouldn't be any issue if T-Mobile activates it. Sprint has to activate the CDMA radio differently.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
tmobile doesn't have to activate it. just put in tmibiles sim card, boot up. if no signal right away, put in tmobiles apn manually. thats it. most likely youll have a signal right away though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
So say I do this next week, i would assume I would pay an ETF with sprint if i dont wait right?

I was under the impression the n5 was the same (has all bands) and it shouldnt have a conflict, especially if i factory reset

:good:

Basically my main concern is if i need to wait until the 31st to do this will i lose my number? or do i do this with tmobile a few days before the 31st?

Thank you all for the replies :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrmedia:
If you do this next week, and your contract isn't up until the end of next month, then they'll cover your ETF (either through reimbursement/credit your t-mo account, not sure how they're handling that these days).

As the other posters mentioned, you SHOULDN'T have any issues if T-Mo activates the phone, but you may want to Google success/fail stories when it comes to taking CDMA-carrier branded phones and activating them on GSM networks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
Yea i read about the etf reimbursement but i believe you have to trade in your current device, which i dont really want to do. My phone isnt branded any different though from what i understand compared to google play store bought n5's
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
This is incorrect. BYOP customers are inelligible for T-Mobile's ETF promotion, it is only for people who buy new phones from T-Mobile and have an old phone to trade in. If he ports his number from Sprint to T-Mobile as much as one second before his contract expires, he'll most definitely be charged an ETF.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
So what exactly happens on 8/1 do i no longer have sprint or does it go month to month. How do i keep my number? sorry for the noob questions, been with sprint and only sprint. August 1st do I just walk into tmobile and do it from there? I have no problem waiting, its only a few weeks away otherwise i could pull the quick switch a roo and activate my galaxy s 3 and do the BYOP but its too much hassle and i can just wait but i just dont want to lose my number
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrmedia:
You're right, you do have to trade in your phone.

I'd assume that since you're within 30 days of your contract ending w/ Sprint, you're looking @ roughly under $100 in ETFs across your 3 lines (if you're just canceling the one line on the family plan, obviously that's even cheaper). If it makes more sense keeping the phone you have now and paying those fees as opposed to taking advantage of T-Mo's reimbursement and giving up the phone, that may be the better deal for you.

I left VZW in January of this year w/ 8 months left to go, and paid my ETFs up front, picking up a N5 from them rather than letting them trade my HTC One since they valued it so low. Sold the One on Craigslist for 2x what T-Mo wanted and essentially recouped my ETFs and the first two months of my T-Mo bills.

I'd say hang onto what you've got since you don't have high ETFs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
yea it would be a single line off the family plan
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
So i think i found my answer, all the contract does is limit me from taking my number to another provider without paying an ETF fee. Once it ends it will go month to month unless i sign another two year agreement, 8/1 is my best opportunity to go into TMobile and have them port my number and setup service with them without paying an ETF fee.

I found a chart with the ETF fees, for 1 month of service remaining on "advanced" devices I would have to pay $100 bucks. I think ill wait until 8/1 and kick sprint to the curb.

Thanks to you all for putting up with my nonsense today :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
Good call. Wait it out and keep your phone. You will never look back once your on T-Mobile!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Circaflex:
So I finally made the switch, did not want to pay the $100 bucks for leaving a month early so my contract with sprint was completed on 7/31 and that same day I went over to tmobile and the process took about 15 minutes, mostly me waiting for sprint 3g to pull up my account details as I forgot to bring my account number with me. about 5 hours later the number was ported over and so far I love it. I get LTE at home where I got no service with sprint, not even 3g. Most of my usual areas where it was slow 3g are now on LTE, LTE spots are actual LTE. Sprint would give me on great signal maybe 10 Mbps, on tmobile i am consistently hitting 40+ and even hitting 50 in most of my areas. Good riddance Sprint, should've ditched you long ago.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
What's "built in" is pretty reliable. You might consider concentrating on getting the "built in" to work instead of adding another layer of complexity. Which firmware is "skyfall" based on? (perhaps give a link to the dev thread.)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] amenic:
isn't there a charge for the built-in functionality?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
Are you using the stock AT&T firmware? If so, then your account has to be provisioned for tethering. There are ways around this... Also, depending on which data plan you have with AT&T, tethering might be included.

(Example of a way around it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733561)

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] amenic:
Testing

So I'm doing some testing using the built in app and it appears that while it works, I think AT&T might be throttling the connection.

I tested using a Bluetooth tether connection as well as using a Wifi Tether.

I'm both cases, I'm getting rougly 1.5-2 mbps download and 1 mbps upload speeds in my tests. Despite when I'm using the bluetooth tether having access to a Wifi network that's capable of 100 mbps up and down.

I'm using a 2013 macbook air to test with which has Bluetooth v4.2.

I believe it's throttled because I'm seeing nearly the same rates with both bluetooth and Wifi tethering. I definitely know the Wifi connection is much, much faster. For example, if I disconnect the Tether and connect directly to the Wifi AP, I get 96 mbps down and 47 mbps up.

Is there a mod to remove the throttle or an alternative?
