I'm quite sure the cable isn't the issue. Also that's just it, I can't get windows to recognize it or find much info about it. The adb driver for the device isn't enough I guess. The funny thing is windows says it's working properly as 'Kindle' for a little while when you plug it in (while in bootloader) then device manager refreshes and reports 'cannot start'. I tried launching 'fastboot devices' many times but still nothing. I think it needs a software fix and not a hardware one but I have no past experience using fastboot. So... noob alert.

btw the driver windows tries to use is ms_comp_mtp(Generic driver installed=true) and adb uses the Amazon one on the fourm here.

I have a problem
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Hashcode:
I don't think there's ever been a question of getting into fastboot mode by using the adb reboot-bootloader command.

The issue is how to enter fastboot if the device is semi-bricked.

The device has source in the original bootloader to boot into fastboot mode if both volume buttons are pressed while powering on the device. But this has since been altered and now will only work if the device is unlocked.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
Is flashing the stock .bin file any different than doing a factory reset?

I am bricked, have root, have adb, can get fastboot using adb reboot-bootloader in windows 8. I also have a Linux box if necessary.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] shimp208:
I would recommend taking a look at this thread here, specifically the "Fixing No Permissions Error" section which should allow you to fix the problem your encountering.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Faznx92:
Fastboot works with win8? Not with win7.1 If you have fastboot working with win8 please go to device manager (when your in the bootloader) click properties on the device then look for what driver it uses.

My main reason is to get fastboot working with

windows

. I just can't. Linux seems to work with fastboot but I can't access it via windows.

Just uninstall the kindle driver and replace it with the generic fastboot one

hello all,

i've kindle fire hdx 7" , no adb, grey screen logo then shutdown and goes to black screen.

when connected using cable, it show new devices... QHSUSB_BULK and sometime unknown devices.

press hold power button and volume up only go to recovery mode, but cannot recovery the system..

always go to grey screen logo...

sorry for my bad english language...

hope all of you, understand what i mean here :)

i need solution for fix the problem soon. thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] dcoig1:
I think all that works is reboot into fastboot mode. Windows 8 says no drivers are loaded. I tried a command (can't remember what) and it just went out to lunch so... I guess windows 8 isn't working either. Only to put the device in fastboot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Patrick4:
there are three oem commands:

but it doesn't support oem unlock so there must be another way of unlocking the bootloader, when you try some of the commands the device returns "not allowed for locked hw". Does anyone know what the "hw" is ?

Hi,

I have a bricked kindle hdx 8.9 that stops at "Kindle Fire" boot screen. I am a newbie at these things.

Just discovered that it still respond to some adb queries. Sounds like there is still hope to recover... Could it be the bootloader is messed up? Anyway to reload an image boot file to repair?

Also "fastboot reboot-bootloader" puts it into fastboot mode...with the status "ready"....and i just dont know how to proceed. Any one can help?

just back a little: was rooted in April but with subsequent amazon auto updates - didn't have su status. But I was able to load apps & files, installed vpns, quite a few docs,mp4 files, etc. Not really using much of the new freedom or whatever was left of it... Nothing exciting.

Was working well until one fine sunday afternoon, just 2 weeks ago when it just simply stopped after rebooting from a previous low battery charge. Was told it could be an interrupted routine update when the battery power just fell below threshold - but thot it wouldn't have erase the previous image before the new update is effective. Or it could possibly be a deleted file that is related to the booting process as I did a bit of clean up prior to the last reboot?

In the meantime, I did some adb shell/pull to explore or extract the files, photos,etc in /sdcard & other places back to my PC just in case they were not backup by the cloud. Maybe it was not bricked...but just lost a boot file or something...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Tumbtack:
In a bad situation, have absolutely zero ADB access as my build.prop is botched (bad permissions) and I did a factory reset in hopes of recovering. There is a "fastboot cable" on amazon that says it will reboot a hdx into fastboot mode, but I'm unsure of it's legitimacy. Help?

I don't know if this will add anything to the discussion...but I can confirm fastboot is working on Ubuntu 14.04. I am using a kindle fire HDX 7" and it detects it on devices..and most commands work. Sometimes the terminal must be closed and reopened for commands to go through..

Really hope I'm not necroing or anything, but has anyone had any progress with the fastboot thing? This really interests me, and if we can get it working then that means we could flash twrp on later versions of Fire OS for instance 4.5.2 which is rootable.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] PacoBell:
Still no Windows fastboot love for the HDX, huh? I guess Google really has it out for Amazon if they dropped support for it in the driver. I can enter fastboot commands with no problem on any other platform. What's so strange about the HDX that the standard driver doesn't work with it? I mean, it clearly enumerates and loads okay in the Device Manager.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lekofraggle:
It is not the driver. If you carefully follow the steps, the driver loads fine, even on Win. 8. The problem is the boot loader is locked so you cannot do anything once you load fastboot. That is of course unless you have an older exploitable boot loader. This is not Google's choice, it was Amazon's.

[HTC One S] aloy1455:
Hi guys,

I was in the rooting scene for the HTC One S in its first year of release with the Viper Rom. After the phone overheated, HTC replaced the motherboard, and removed literally everything I had done to it. A couple months later, I re-rooted my phone with HBOOT 2.15 Roms to only notice that I was stuck on the 2G-Only issue, and HTC was happy to fix that and remove everything again.

So here I am with a nothing-done-to phone, It has been almost a year since I did anything to the phone (yes running pure stock for a year is hell), and I do not know where to start. Anyway, here is my phone's information:

CPU 1512 Mhz

Android Version: 4.1.1

Software Number: 3.14.531.19.710RD

Kernel Version: 3.4.10-g0f5103e

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT: 2.15.0000

RADIO: 1.13.50.05.31

I am familiar with the terms because I have been a long time user in the HTC One S forums. I just need a guide so I don't ruin my phone because I'm a little rusty. Do not give me a step by step, just tell me what I need to do in chronological order, and I think I can find my way around the forums for the tutorials. For example, should I unlock bootloader first then S-OFF. or should I S-OFF first before anything.

Please help me out, as I think I have been far out of the game for too long. And I am very eager to get back to work on this phone. I miss being rooted.
[HTC One S] aloy1455:
oh, and I want to be able to use the most stable LIBERTY ROM without being stuck on 2G
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I would try and get S-OFF if possible. This phone needs it.

Try moonshine.io. If it works, it will do practically everything for you (unlock bootloader, S-OFF etc...).
[HTC One S] aloy1455:
Okay, in what order should I do it?

S-OFF first, then unlock bootloader?

or Unlock bootloader then S-OFF?
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Read the moonshine.io page. It tells you what it does.

Good luck!
[HTC One S] jjmai:
The latest moonshine for One S T-mobile is for version 3.14.531.11. Would that work for 3.14.531.19?
[HTC One S] aloy1455:
everything is all good. I performed the moonshine, updated to latest HBOOT, and am running [ROM][4.4.3] AOSPA Legacy 4+ [OFFICIAL] | HOVER.

I got htcdev unlocked, but I can't seem to get moonshine to work.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Longcat14:
This guide is very well made!

I did figure out that you can root the phone without unlocking the boot loader (with Towelroot modstrings), SOff that way, then just follow your instructions to get TWRP on. You might want to add that in to, for people who don't want to use HTCDev.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] gdnewsevry1:
suggestion

Thanks for your guide. I just used it and it helped a ton. I would suggest the change and addition below based on my experience.

7. Once verified, type "fastboot flash recovery m8recovery.img" (or whatever you renamed your .img file to and without the quotation marks) in the command prompt and wait for fastboot to flash the TWRP Recovery on your HTC One (M8).

Insert: 9a. Turn off fastboot in settings.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] liquidaluminum:
Good observation. Thank you. I added a line item numbered 22 under the unlocking portion in substitution of 9a. I did it this way, because all settings are reset unlocking the bootloader. For those that are going to proceed to the rooting instructions, I thought it might be smart to go on and take care of disabling the fastboot options right off the bat, so it's no longer a concern.

You were 100% correct about adding the recovery line. I must have missed it while typing this up. Good looking out!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
This is almost certainly the best guide I have seen on XDA to unlock/root a device.

I've added it to my Index thread under "Unlock Bootloader, ROOT, S-Off": http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52653939

Also, one suggestion is to add an alternate section/branch to flash straight to a custom ROM (rather than stay stock and root).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] liquidaluminum:
I'm definitely thinking about doing that very thing. The only thing that prevented me originally is because of the way I have to use my phone. I've never owned an HTC device before, so I'm not sure if the same issue would exist, but in regards to ROM swapping, when I was running Samsung devices, I found a proprietary problem with the devices themselves that prevented me from running custom ROMs.

I have an Appradio 2 in my car that relies on the MHL output to mirror my device to my dash. When using custom ROMs of any kind (that I tried), I MHL never worked. I addressed the issue with a couple of developers, I was told that because MHL isn't used by many people, support for it isn't focused on. Since that has seemed to hold true for any of the ROMs that I've tried, I've always been limited to rooted stock ROMs. Hence my not including the suggested addition.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I see, it makes sense to write a guide for only what you know about.

I wouldn't necessarily avoid custom ROMs just for the MHL issue. There are a good number of great custom ROMs that are built on the "stock" Sense base, but with varying degrees of optimizations and cool customization options. Its just a gut feel, but with many of these ROMs I would think the MHL function would work fine. In any case, just make a nandroid backup of your current setup (which I highly recommend when flashing just about anything) and if you don't like the current ROM, its easy to revert.

Great write-up. I'm going to run through this with my new M8. Just one question - can Philz recovery be used with the HTC?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
If you ever have time..perhaps you should write up a detailed thread about RUUs. There are a few good ones, but most of them written are from guys either stuck on HTC devices or have used android for years. It might knock out the traffic from unnecessary comments on Dev threads. Perhaps letting others know that you can flash RUUs without a computer simply by renaming to 0P6BIMG. AFAIK you can not change CID without access to a computer. I've tried finding out how I can, but I haven't found out anything. I wanted to do a straight GPE conversion considering I never use SENSE based Roms. A few weeks ago my computer crashed, and I figured that idea was out the window til wonder_never_cease told me to rename the file to 0P6BIMG, but to receive OTA updates I'd have to change the CID from SUPERcid to the google gpe CID

Isn't philz recovery discontinued ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ksoze11:
hey, thanks for the detailed guide!

do your steps include s-off?

moreover, what is s-off (I am very new to m8) and is it necessary after rooting? what does it provide?

question #2, will I be able to get OTA updates (if I replace TWRP with stock recovery) ?

thanks in advance!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
1) Guide doesn't include s-off. Look for threads/guides on firewater or (more likely) sunshine s-off methods.

S-off is a HTC-specific security flag that means "all security off". S-off isn't required for most root functions, flashing ROMs, etc. Its only needed to flash some protected partitions (hboot, radio), SIM unlock, and a few other things.

S-off also means that things like device check and version check are bypassed. This can sometimes give you more recovery options (for instance "downgrade" by RUU which is not possible with S-on). But it also makes it possible for your to flash mods meant for other devices and possibly brick the phone. So care needs to be taken when s-off, and it shouldn't be taken lightly.

2) You need to be on the stock ROM (with no system files modified) and stock recovery to receive and install OTA. If you have that, it will OTA fine. But you will need to root again afterwards.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CanuckinPA:
Help -- Phone Keeps Rebooting

I went through the entire procedure to unlock and root and all was fine for a week or so until earlier this week.

I'm not sure what I did prior to the problem, but suddenly the phone started rebooting every minute or so. I shut the phone down for a couple of hours, but when I restarted it the rebooting continued.

I booted into Philz recovery and did a restore to stock, reinstalled all of my apps and all was well until this morning. I have Link2SD and after installing Handcent I opened the Link2SD app. Then the reboot returned. :mad:

Is there a fix for this issue, or do I have to go back to stock again?

BTW - I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, still running the stock ATT HTC ROM
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If the phone was working fine for a week, then it must be due to some more recent change made to the phone or app your installed. Did you try to uninstall Link2SD?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CanuckinPA:
I have now after doing a second recovery. I didn't have this issue with my Galaxy S3, but I think that I'll just not use it on the HTC

UPDATE: I just did a backup using Philz and after rebooting the darn reboot loop has come back! :confused:

UPDATE #2 When I was trying to update Xposed Installer it went into the reboot loop. What the heck is causing this???

but shows s-on

after flashing the twrp recovery many times my device still doesnt seem to open up twrp and whenever i click recovery it boots back to the fastboot page in the bootloader, i am really stuck

can someone please guide how to go about this now? as i have no clue what to do next.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The M8 Eye while similar, is not exactly the same hardware as the M8.

Unless you know for a fact that the TWRP for the M8 also works on the M8 Eye, I'd say its safe to assume it doesn't; and probably the reason TWRP won't work on your phone.

The M8 Eye is also much too new for firewater to work; as HTC patched that exploit several months ago.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jinal shah:
So should I try Twrp for m8 eye will that work then?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If there is a TWRP version created specifically for your phone, then yes you should absolutely use this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jinal shah:
And if there's no Twrp for m8 eye what's My only solution?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You have to wait for there to be a TWRP or CWM recovery for your phone, or try to port it yourself.

You can't just flash a recovery meant for a different phone. You can brick the phone that way.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jinal shah:
Okay now I have received a system update on my phone and when I click install it goes into boot loader mode And does not install so what do I do to install the update?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
OTA needs stock recovery to install. And I think you broke recovery by trying to flash the wrong TWRP. If so, you are pretty screwed. You can try to search for stock recovery and flash it.

You also have to understand that this forum section is not only for the M8 (not M8 Eye) but also the AT&T version of the M8 specifically. Its unlikely anyone here is going to be able to help you much.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jpeepers:
Can anyone explain why firewater works on some phones and not others? Is it do to firmware ver.? (it's not working on mine)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I haven't seen a definitive answer on that, and its something I've been curious about as well. "Maybe" is probably the best answer you will get.

What firmware, hboot?

Although its not very relevant to this particular guide; as this guide doesn't actually address s-off.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jpeepers:
Firmware 1.58.502.1 HBoot-3.16

Yeah, I know not directly related to this thread but did see mention of it and just wanted to see if it was perhaps related to the AT&T variant?

I know sunshine works but budget is tight right now so hard to justify the cost :( (no disrespect to the devs, just tight on money)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yeah, not sure if your phone should work with firewater or not. It worked on mine, and I think I was on release version 1.54, hboot 3.16.

I've also seen conflicting info on stock ROM & kernel, or others say an insecure kernel is required. I'd try both, and if it still fails you will need sunshine.
