[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KyleCreel123:
CMD will not let me type anything after the 2nd from last command

i cannot type "adb boot recovery" because when i enter "adb push (the 4.5.5 update directory on pc) /cache/kindleupdate.bin" CMD doesn't let me type anything else, it only shows blinking underscore, i clicked the CMD window but still nothing.. And my bad, i didn't get a chance to install TWRP or Safestrap. I simply rooted and installed playstore and then the original Fire OS launcher stopped working. Oh and the device is now out of its boot loop but no launcher. EDIT: it finally gave me an answer "failed to copy 'C:\Users\Kyle\Desktop\kindleupdate.bin': Permission denied" Is there any possible way to fix this?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Unlikely. If the device is relatively new Amazon might be willing to do a warranty exchange.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KyleCreel123:
Warranty was voided by the root
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Technically true but usually not enforced by Amazon based on user feedback. Give it a whirl if you can't get things working. Tell them the device failed to start after an update and you tried to fix it yourself.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KyleCreel123:
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try

HAs anyone solved the problem yet?

I am trying to debrick my unit. It is the 8.9 hdx

It was wiped so there is no OS on it. I Can get into some kind of recovery mode so it does turn on.

I think I can get into their fastboot mode but that is limited function.

I find it hard to believe that there is no simple tool to plug in and reformat it much like ODIN is for Samsung devices.

Any help is welcomed, thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Sorry for your loss. Amazon crippled the (recovery) hardware so tethered solutions don't work. Nor are they likely in the future. Best hope (extreme long shot) is for an exploit that permits the bootloader to be unlocked on versions above 3.2.3.2. Even then you would need adb access to transfer whatever files are needed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] droiduzr2:
thx

It is ridiculous that they did this to such a nice device.

I was hoping someone here could hack it for us.

Hi,

Yesterday in the morning I connected my Kindle fire HDX 7 to my home wifi and noticed that the battery is around 35% and that there was a pending update about 30 mins later i noticed that my device got turned off and since then I am unable to turn it on, unable to charge it tried the Amazon support nothing helped.

Is it bricked for good ? this device is 18 months old.

Any help please ....

thank you
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Have you tried long pressing (20-60 sec) the power button? Watch the screen carefully for any sighs of life. Also try switching chargers and usb cables (the latter is a surprisingly common cause of charge and communication issues). If nothing then your device has likely passed.

Curious - pure stock?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sasidhar79:
i tried all that none of it works.

Yes pure stock, I was on 3.2.8 and i think amazon pushed an OTA once I connected to WiFi after that it went kaput.

I have accepted that it is gone, I am looking forward to buy Asus Nexus 7 2013, no more Amazon devices for me, they want to be like Apple by doing auto OTA installs.

No thanks, it was a great device though.

hello, i think i bricked my hdx7. i installed safestrap 3.75 an a custom 4.22 rom. then i wiped everything, included system. now it hangs in boot with kindle screen. reset factory defaults does not help. what can i do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
Sorry, but there's nothing you can do.

Amazon may be willing to provide a replacement if it's still under warranty.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] adeba:
its under warranty, what if amazon gets information what i do with the hdx7? can i get problems?

if they send me a new hdx7, can i root it anyway or is the version to new?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
To date there have been no wide spread reports of Amazon reacting negatively to rooted devices returned under warranty. They seemed more concerned about physical or moisture damage. Obviously individual experiences may vary. Amazon typically offers a one-time exchange for 'soft' failures; use extra caution with the replacement.

The device you receive may or may not be rootable ... depends what version of FireOS is installed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GrimlockGreen:
hello

Hi i get the same permission denied problem what should i do?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
- research

- contact Amazon if still under warranty

- come to terms with reality that your device is probably not recoverable
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] loughrey101:
I did all this but Safestrap can't see any files, only folders. I accidently flashed a gapps file over my android rom and now I'm stick on an Android welcome page despite being able to enter my settings. I can't open any launcher to access apps. It seems to be impossible to flash a fresh rom get rid of the flashed gapp file. Looks like I'll never a new Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You might be stuck in the SafeStrap v4 abyss; hopefully not.

Flashing gapps does not overwrite your existing rom (unless you wiped first) as evidenced by the Android welcome page.

If you are only seeing folders in Safestrap recovery (install or advanced->file manager options) try navigating to \sdcard and then checking within each folder in the tree ... especially 'download' and 'documents'. Hopefully you will find the rom install image that you previously flashed.

Which rom is installed (assuming CM11)? Stock or secondary slot?

Recovery suggestions:

- from Safestrap recovery (

NOT

the native Kindle recovery menu) perform a 'factory' reset from the wipe menu. Don't change any options; use slider at bottom. Reboot - any change?

- if you found the install image from a previously flashed rom try reflashing that. Then clear caches (see above) and reboot.

- same thing with gaaps ... if you can locate the installation file previously used. Has to be there somewhere unless you explicitly erased from within Safestrap.

- determine if you can access your device via adb/tether. You will need to install Minimal ADB + Fastboot and potentially drivers on a suitable Windows host. Do some research if unfamiliar with adb. If you can gain access it may be possible to transfer a rom installation image onto the device and then reflash from within Safestrap.

If you can't achieve a clean boot, don't have (or can't located) a rom installation image on the device and can't communicate via adb then you are likely done as there is no way to communicate with the outside world from within Safestrap v4.

Is kindle salvageable?

I tried rooting my kindle fire HDX (2013), and successfully rolled back the software but soon after that it tried to install a auto update but ended up making the screen go black. The question i have is whether or not i can do anything because the device will not charge or turn on. I dont have too much attatchment to the device i just wanted to ask because i felt guilty and want to see if i could fix it :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
If you rolled back to 3.2.8 (which is no longer necessary) and then allowed network access you're done - hard brick.

Ok. Not sure what I'm doing wrong exactly. I am able to push the file to the kindle but then when I reboot it does nothing. Everything seems to be working...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MrSonic:
Fixing broken system apps

Would anyone here with a rooted Kindle Fire HDX be willing to upload all the system apps they have? I seem to have moved 2 important ones with 'OTA' (assuming they were related to forced OTA updates) in the name away from /sysyem/priv-app and it caused my device to bootloop. I've fixed it to the point where i have a booted device that's still rooted, and I have an ADB shell (with root access) running, but all system features (Fire Home Launcher, settings, etc.) are all broken/non-functional. If someone could send me their files in system/priv-app, that would be appreciated =)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I don't have the files you seek nor so I think the approach being taken will offer a satisfactory resolution. A better solution might be to flash a vulnerable aboot (bootloader) that permits twrp to be booted. From there you could reflash stock FireOS 4.5.2. Or go radical and flash the custom ROM of your choosing including several excellent variants based on Android 7.1 (aka Nougat).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MrSonic:
Hello Davey,

Thank you for the advice!

I have a fully booted device with all my apps functional/data saved and I still have root access, I'm simply missing a system app that apparently is essential to use the default 'Fire Home' launcher and to access the system settings menu (they crash the second I open them, but everything else works perfectly.) As of now, I used an ADB shell to install Nova launcher (which instantly triggered my kindle to load it as the only functional launcher,) which gives me a functional GUI to interact with my kindle and use it as before (with the exception of system settings, which I would like to restore access to, even though I was able to successfully connect to WiFi using commands). Reinstalling Fire OS would seem like a step back to me - I would lose all my personal app data. Although I might be mistaken, and correct me if I am, wouldn't simply putting back the missing resources into /system/priv-app fix my issue the most efficient way forcing me to lose all my app data? Then again, accquiring the correct system app that I'm missing might be hard (as I forgot the exact name of the file I moved.)

Thank you for the reply,

MrSonic
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Identifying the appropriate system component(s) would be time consuming and could leave you with a dysfunctional device should something go wrong. Reinstalling FireOS 4.5.2 via TWRP *should* leave your data partition intact. However, there are no assurances and no fallback options in the absence of a vulnerable bootloader and TWRP backup. You have a choice to make.

Has anyone offered a bounty for unlocking the boot loader for AT&T and Verizon Note 3? They did it for the S5 (#Demiurge7) "root only", why leave the note 3 in the cold...

I'd be more than happy to throw down a benjamin (or two) for this long-awaited effort. actually, I'd go as far as offering to buy the developer who does it a Note 4 (carrier of choice) (or a device to be named later...) when they land - or is that not a deal, still 700 bennies worth of value...

anyone else want to join the bounty... c'mon!

Bounty total - so far

700.00 (equivalent of a new device of choice) - #anticloud

100.00 - #humdrum2009

50.00 - #mattchenzo

50.00 - #alsgarage

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] mattchenzo:
$50 from me, I want my freedom!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] anticloud:
one of the reasons I ask to start a bounty for the note 3 (AT&T and Verizon)

Is because I ganked my phone with the NC4 OTA - like a stupid stupid person. I had NC2 on the note 3, liked the option to swing back to 4.3, yet the other day odined my way out of choice -

so in speaking to verizon, who flatly outright refused to do anything about getting 4.3 back - they wont do it...

this upsets me greatly, and figure is some developer was willing to go the distance, take one for the crowd, and figure out how to achieve unlock of the boot loader, then that'd solve a lot of problems -

or whack the white / black list - whatever prevents the NC4 from being overwritten... and so it goes..

but, be that as it may - I think as consumers we should have the following rights.

1. to completely have the freedom to do what we want with a device - i.e. phone / tablet - and not let the carriers / manufacturers run a game against us.

Owning a PC always, always has given us the freedom to do with it what we want, anything, it's an open book, you want windows, linux, etc, it's yours... you can do anything, even build your own OS etc, with no worries about trashing your hardware...

the same should be for a phone / communication device -

I could give a rats butt if a carrier propagates a device as a means to sell services, locking it down and preventing a consumer from modifying a device should be made illegal - i could go on...

but that's why I think it's worth it to offer a bounty for matters such as these -

besides, if someone cracks the bootloader of the Note 3, they've most likely done it for the S5 etc - or close to it; it paves the way for the next gen of hacks etc...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DrPhant0m:
Beans put out a method that, after using towelroot to root NC4, is supposed to achieve NC2-like results. Look for it in the development thread.

You might be able to get back to where you want to be, but I'm not sure if you can downgrade, too. I think the SELinux permissive and the kernel modules were the only features mentioned.

Good luck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] anticloud:
thanks, actually, i did the following

Though I cannot flash the NC2 tar directly, did the following:

1. extracted "ALL_VZW_N900VVRUCNC2_N900VVZWCNC2_1014200_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" using 7zip

2. downloaded a utility that took all the img files within the "ALL_VZW_N900VVRUCNC2_N900VVZWCNC2_1014200_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT" folder and created individual flashable tars ("boot.tar.md5", "modem.tar.md5", "NON-HLOS.tar.md5", and "recovery.tar.md5")

3. flashed the tars to my device using odin -

4. flashed "nc2kernel.tar.md5" using odin - #beanstown106 file

results - well, all flashed no problem, upon reboot, baseband reads "N900VVRUCNC2" - not sure if that is the modem but all seems to run perfect...

what did I do, anything? I was on nc4 previously.

That's not Samsung's doing. Nexus updates are handled by Google and the carrier.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] crhylove:
Sure, but any one of the 3 could have pushed the update. The carriers don't want to because they want you to buy a new phone instead. And Google/Samsung/etc. are in cahoots with them. And just because you CAN unlock a gnex and update the OS doesn't mean the companies who dropped support prematurely aren't still mega ****ty. They are mega ****ty. That's my point.

For those of you who have gone through the AT&T Warranty Replacement process, what condition did your refurbished phone come in?
