Any progress?

I got my HDX 8.9 bricked yesterday and it was detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 for a short moment enough to install the drivers and look for information but lost it after than, and I would like to ask if there is a sequance to make it detected in this mode again... I kept trying with power and volume buttons combination but since I cannot tell if it's shutdown or powered on, I wasn't able to do any progress... and there is very few amount information here and there that I should manage to read to get it revived maybe because it's the second Amazon tablet I loose during these few weeks... and all because of the signed boot who make them hard brick so easily with no option from Amazon or who so else to recover them.

I will try to contact Amazon for a replacement and I hope they will not ask me to ship this one (I already have the screen replaced and it is still not glued back) so I will profit to do some experimentation in my spare time to find a solution to root the latest firmwares (even if I am not skilled enough to do this right now)...

I hope more Senior members here help us to get these tablet working and have CM12 installed to them and secure a way to unbrick them once for all, that's all what is needed to make progress in term of developping stuff for this superbe specs tablet.

contact info for the local vendor who fixed your HDX

could you please provide me with the vendor contact info (like email) so that i can contact them to possibly fix my bricked HDX8.9 (3rd Gen)? i am outside china and my chinese is too poor to search at taobao. thanks for your help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Ahuu:
Could you send me Files from extra bin to hoainama8@gmail.com

thanks a lot
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] FotixChiang:
a man in Dalian China bought the HDX8.9 (3rd) firmware which could flash the device under fastboot mode from a developer in Amazon.cn. And it seems that he provide the service to fix the soft brick. Of course, not for free.

And i dont think he will be willing to share the infomation about ways to get the firmware. If you want to fix that, maybe you can mail you device to him. But it is a long way, maybe not safe.

If you need, maybe i can give you the contact info of the man.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ONYXis:
So are you planning to share it? I think I can set it up =)

But first of all you can post screenshot of this tools (or files list) - maybe I already know it and it useless for our hardbrick (like flashtools.py ). Thank you.

Anyway PM to me.

thank you.

I succesfully made working unbrick set for devices with firmware <13.3.2.6 (or <=13.3.2.3 need to test) but it useless because all (almost) our bricks has higher firmware.

We need emmcbld.mbn from newest service tool. Please ask for this your friends) Only one this file but newest revision.

thank you again.

few people who has bricks at firmware <=13.3.2.6 (any type of bricks) i invite to PM to test. you need or minimal working adb on your device or fastboot cable.

Thank you for the link, I'm just said to junk one for a software problem!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Yeah, Amazon made a poor choice crippling stock recovery, stock fastboot and disabling (or at least significantly depreciating) the USB interface on 3rd/4th gen HDX devices. Akin to taking away a mechanic's tool box.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] twocrows:
Will this help with only a Blank Screen?

Hey all I was using a bootloader unlock and I hosed it (to make a long story short I didn't turn off software certification) up now all my kindle does is display a blank screen. No "kindle" in grey or bootloop, just a blank screen, I got a fastboot cable but still no luck with my Windows 8 machine being able to recognize/see my kindle. My question is: is there any hope for my kindle ever working again? Do I just need to hold the power button down for 5 mins (I saw that suggested)? I also have a linux box is there any software that would work with Ubuntu? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It works,but most options cause it to immediately close.

The damn Languages and Input option closes on my Fire TV.

It makes it impossible to select null keyboard an option.

Can someone try to find a settings.apk from a 4.2.2 device?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jljaries42@gmail.com:
Un-installed and re-installed settings.apk a few time and it worked.

Now it no longer installs and the Titanium back-up I had of it wont restore either.

It did work for my BT headphones and the Input settings.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
I found a stupidly easy solution!

Just open ES File Explorer and enable the root explorer option to gain root access with ES.

Then go to "system/app/" and rename both BuellerIME apk and odex files to what I named them "BuellerIMEx.apk/BuellerIMEx.odex"

Now I no longer get the annoying keyboard popping up and forcing me to another page or completely killing access to the app until force stopped.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbless:
Nice, basically just de-activating the apk from even running by renaming.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
I just thought of another much safer idea if somebody can find the com.name of BuellerIME.

First,you would revert the name changes,and then do the pm disable command after somebody can figure out the com-name for it.

Try reverting the rename and using this in a Terminal Emulator app.

pm list packages -f

If somebody finds the proper com-name before I can reply with it,please post it in a reply.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
If use use titanium backup to try and uninstall it, it should give you the package name on the confirmation screen. And then you can cancel the uninstall before you actually remove it. That may work for getting the name.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Found it using 7zipper 2.0 by viewing the details which required root access and was granted.

com.amazon.tv.ime

Just do the same steps as you would for dcp.

adb shell

su

pm disable com.amazon.tv.ime

And then it should no longer appear so you will never need to worry about the problems that could be caused by renaming it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbless:
Ok so after testing using the method mentioned above it does in fact hide the on screen keyboard but it also completely disables the possibility of entering text in certain instances. For example, I enabled the above and disabled the similar method used for blocking. My FTV wasnt finding the update so I went to network settings and forgot my wifi network. When I tried to reconnect by selecting the network name there is no option at all to enter text of any sorts. I actually had to remove the password from my network connect unsecured and reconnect in to adb to disable the keyboard hiding to be able to reconnect to a secured network.

It seems that you are all right.

If you enter the command:

adb shell ime enable com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME

There must be a result of:

Input method com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME: already enabled

If you enter the command:

adb shell ime set com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME

There must be a result of:

Input method com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME selected

On my Fire TV Stick works. Also, it works with my friend in his Fire TV2.

If you can not - it means you're doing something wrong, or do something with the system of your device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pd555:
Strangely, the command:

adb shell ime enable com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME

fixed the problem. It put the [space] back into com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME so I was then able to run:

successfully. Don't know why that fixed it but thanks :)
