[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] andyhax0r:
FINALLY!

Wanted to give an update with solution:

After trying every possible way I could find to get either a system update file (.bin) or flashable .zip to my softbricked hdx, I was out of options. I had spent numerous hours researching, memorized most adb and fastboot commands, and even installed 3 different versions of Windows trying to get a working environment.

I figured I can revisit the issue later, maybe in 6 months or a year there will be a fix. I boxed up the hdx and put it away. I bought a Nexus 7 2013 to play with, it being my favorite tablet and the one I have found to be most hackable. Got the WugFresh toolkit to unlock and root it, custom Slim rom + mini gapps, Elementalx kernel, and updated Adreno drivers.

I noticed that when I connected the Nexus to my laptop, I couldn't see it in Windows Explorer, no matter what mode put it in (media file transfer, camera, charge, etc). I had already installed the USB driver.

Then it hit me...

The one thing that the hdx and the nexus have in common - the USB cable. Had been using an original Asus Nexus 7 2013 data cable from a Nexus I previously owned.

I immediately changed the cable and got the hdx out, connected it, was able to install the drivers and in adb mode, I pushed both a flashable zip of 13.3.2.6 and a .bin to the /sdcard directory. Booted the hdx, flashed the zip in SafeStrap, and once again I had a working device!

I created a new rom slot, and tried to flash 13.3.1.0 to it, but still got a black screen when it started up. At least I still had my new stock rom to boot to. For some reason, I have been unable to downgrade the firmware on this device. That's okay, because even though I couldn't install the custom rom i wanted to make the hdx into a pure tablet, at least the hdx didn't beat me. I softbricked it, then put in work to come back from it, and learned a lot in the process.

Thanks for all your help!

Hey.

This may be a stupid question, but can I use the pre rooted 13.3.2.6 to update my 13.3.1.0.(rooted) to the latest rootable Version? Or how Do i Do that?

I already disabled ota and installed xposed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ehuebl:
I have a fire hdx Apollo that had been properly up(down)graded and running fine with 2.01. For some reason (and my lack of understanding the correct versions of things) I thought it would be a good idea to install the Apollo update on my stock rom. This of course has now caused boot loops on my stock boot but not my 2.01 boot.

Would love to be able to restore the stock as I do use some of the fire's capabilities from time to time. Sadly I did not do a backup before the update (kicks self furiously).

I DO have a backup from before the upgrade/downgrade so maybe I could restore that then push through the upgrade steps again or something. I'm worried that I will bork my safestrap or do something worse based on my proclivity for damage and chaos.

I'm using Cpasjuste's 4.5.2 with those files renamed. I can still play Amazon instant videos without error. At first I renamed those files before the first boot and my kindle was acting weird. I wonder if it's related? May try rename those files back and play a video then immediately rename them again? Be extra careful though. There is a new 4.5.2 OS from Amazon already.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hobbypunk90:
Okaaay, I tested it already and nothing, I can't play videos...

But I have an other thing ? I have a modified gapps zip, that fit for the rom ? I had to remove nearly everything out from it, only the libs, the sync apks and the market left, I will add the file to this post, when I uploaded it later.

Edit: Here is my gapps package:

Is this flashable from safestrap?I made a flashable zip of the 4.5.2 update for Thor which is compatible with the signing exploit (bootloader/fw flashing removed and modified bootimage with happened dt) as there was some demand.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zbaudo13:
Rom slot or Stock?

I tried flashing the 4.5.2 stock rom on a rom slot using safestrap and just got a black screen until it finally went back into recovery. I was wondering since it's a stock rom if I needed to flash it onto the stock slot. In that case, do I just flash it over what I have (3.2.8) or do I have to do a wipe? I'm currently using Nexus ROM but I enjoyed the new fire OS before I rolled back to get root back. Help appreciated!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] futzmaster:
The Rom you mentioned (4.5.2 from Cpasjuste) is for flashing with TWRP and not for safestrap.

TWRP is not working on 3.2.8
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zbaudo13:
Oh for some reason I thought it was for safestrap and not twrp. Does anyone have a ROM like that for safestrap? Or is there a kernel issue or something?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
There is a definite kernel issue there. I would install nexus ROM and leave there for now. Your lucky to not have a brick yet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gk6504:
I agree. Maybe Cpasjuste should just start a new thread.

Just follow any gapps guide here. You don't need to flash in TWRP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zbaudo13:
Any hope of TWRP

I agree I'm no expert. That's why I'm asking before doing anything crazy. Do you think there's any hope of TWRP exploit coming to 3.2.8? I feel like with rollback being available no questions asked there will be a demand. I know its no small task though.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ggow:
We would need a new exploit at least, because the one we are using to sign files and unlock the bootloader at the moment was patched in .3.2.4.

Also we need to be careful with 3.2.7 and 3.2.8 as they include an anti-rollback mechanism which will trigger an efuse if the device is deemed tampered with. I am not sure of what constitutes tampering within this.

Just hold tight on safestrap. At least you have HDX Nexus ROM.

I'm using TWRP and HDX Nexus 2.0.5. Can I rollback to stock kindle rom by flashing this via TWRP?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dotzid:
Hi, everyone

I have root right on Nexus4 with "Nexus 5 Experience - CM11 Based" rom (no PIE, no LTE, stock kernel) (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/development/rom-kernel-nexus-5-experience-cm11-based-t2545838) and handy soft keys software installed. After I update rom to ver. 9.3 "ok, google" feature is power off! Mic icon turned empty and I can`t start search by voice without touching. When I power off handy soft service, feature is turned on. I ask soft developer about it and get "the app is developed by using Android standard Accessibility API and it works perfect with other Nexus 4 users". I decided to record video by the phone and found that when I start record "ok,google" feature is power off (mic is empty). So I ask your help with this issue. Thanks.

As the title suggest, I'm trying to unlock my bootloader but every time it fails because I have too many links. No idea what that means, but the more severe problem is that with other users the phone will be unlocked, but mine is still locked.. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the great help!!

p.s: so nice to root the device by an app such as Stump!
[Sprint LG G3] _Dennis_:
Sure is nice when there is a flaw in stock code that allows you to inject root (privilege escalation).

Sorry its a pet peve of mine, I'd rather an unlocked bootloader and secure system so I know that if I'm on stock nothing gets root until I'm ready for root by unlocking the bootloader.

/soapbox lol
[Sprint LG G3] shabydog:
But BL was already been unlocked?
[Sprint LG G3] _Dennis_:
BL was bypassed, not unlocked. Nexus devices, some Sony devices, and some HTC devices can have the BL unlocked (commands in fastboot, no root required to do) but BUMP just tricks the bootloader then requires boot imgs to be signed with the DEVs keys (from my understanding).

This means it is not a true unlock but will act as a unlock if the imgs are signed by the devs (I'm not privy to the actual method so I could be off a bit)

With a true unlock you take a step, outside of the normal system, usually wiping data in the process, to enable an unsigned recovery that allows you to flash a new system. This means if I steal your device I can't root it and install a few apps then give it back with you not knowing, or steal your CC info stored in a db file using root privileges.

Sammy and LG root/unlocks are backwards. I can take your device, install stump, delete stump, install a root/hidden tracker, and follow where you go without your knowledge, all in about 15 mins.

Q&A for [ROM][GPL]Clean_Cm_7.2[26-05-2014]

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wunder_luftmjuk:
Possible bug

First of all: Awesome ROM! Never knew CM 7.2 could be this fast and stable!

Second: I've possibly found two bugs:

1, Entering "Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/Lockscreen settings/Delay and timeout" always cause a FC.

Always.

Have tried rebooting and shutting down but the FC remain.

2, Power button does not activate lockscreen, it only shuts the screen off. Pressing power button again or home button will go directly to home screen. The only way to activate lockscreen is to let screen timeout.

Have tried different screen locks but nothing makes power button behave differently.

I've searched around in setting for a way around this but so far unsuccessfull.

Maybe the two issues are related.

And now some requests:

* A big button keyboard? Stock was good with big buttons for my sausage fingers.

* Ability to easily add foreign language keyboards (not system language) and dictionaries.

* Remove delete thread confirmation in messages.

* Remove confirmation when enabling storage by USB connection.

* Ability to easily add sounds without trying to find the setting for each event. Still haven't found out how to change the alarm sound...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
I'm not really sure what is causing your problems as I never faced these issues. My suggestion is the following.

1. Reboot to recovery

2. Format system

3. Wipe data&factory reset

4. Install Rom

5. Reboot

6. Reboot again

I take it, that you did not change the Rom package?

I left it to the user to download and choose a keyboard on their own. There are plenty in the playstore :)

Hm, not really something I would personally enjoy, but maybe :)

Trust me, I tried that one, but couldn't get it to work. I even tried copying the function of the xposed module..

This is fairly easy, just drop the sounds into /system/media/audio/alarms

Our create a folder structure like media/sounds/alarms on your sdcard.

I hope that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wunder_luftmjuk:
Sorted

Thank you for the help!

The "Delay and timeout" setting kept getting FC, until I went into security setting and disabled all security (pattern, pin, e.t.c.).

After that there was no more FC, and I could change the settings in "Delay and timeout". This also fixed the other "bug" which was power button not locking screen. Subsequently I could again change back security settings to pattern.

The other things I can live with! :laugh:

B.t.w. do you know any kernel that supports adaptive undervolting/overvolting combined with underclocking/overclocking? Also, is there any better governor than "ondemand"?

Suggestions for task killers? Many recommend Greenify but it won't run on android 2.3.x.

My aim is to have maximum battery life when on standby, while still having good performance in times of need.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
I will dig out my old mini and see if I can reproduce that bug. I never used any security pattern, so that might be the reason I never had any trouble.

I don't think that there is a kernel that supports custom uv for the galaxy mini. However I found that the ondemand governor works very well. I could never really complain leaving it on 600 mhz. I have to admit though that it is an old phone, so don't expect any wonders ;).

My battery backup was always a minimum of 2 days, but I don't do any gaming. I used my phone as a phone... ( And a bit of music and internet).

Taskkillers are generally a bad idea, as they will just cause a cat and mouse game between them and a dodgy app. I'm not sure if the xposed module (I think the name is something with service disable) was backported to gingerbread. Anyway I never used it and if you want to try something maybe go for "auto start disabler free" from the playstore. That is what I used.

I hope this helps to enjoy your mini a bit more :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wunder_luftmjuk:
New bug

OK I guess I have to play around with settings and apps to see how battery life can be extended.

B.t.w. I found a new bug: Camera shutter sound can't be disabled. Even when turned off in CM settings the camera will still play the click.

Bootsplash

Can I flash a "bootsplash.zip" in this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
Make a backup first and then try...

Next time try to ask in a nice way and I might test it for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
Wooaar? Its seems I can't flash the "bootanimation.zip" [installation aborted]

S5 bootanimation that I dig from xda website

you should reconsidered to place back the GINGERBREAD "Zombie ART" picture as it will brings an original ROM feels ... and sorry for asking that way the other day, it was a joke, sorry dude .. btw you did really a good job
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
Since when is a boot animation flashable anyway? You should just put it into system/media.

But I also deleted the script that executes the boot animation from /bin, so you would have to replace that as well.

I will not put the zombie art back in, as it is of no use, but just steals space.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
Already tried to put it at system/media, but didn't works .. tell me about the script please? how to replace it :confused:

and take a look at this dude http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708316
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
This is indeed a flashable zip. Two things come to my mind.

1. Your recovery simply doesn't like the zip. Which version are you using?

2. Your zip is broken. Maybe the download did not finish?

In either way you have to replace the bootanimation binary in /bin. You can grab it from any rom, replace it and give it the proper permissions. Our you wait till I come back home and upload it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
I use yagya CWM 5.0.2.8 Touch recovery and indeed I finished the download 100% using IDM .. really hope you can help me .. thanks btw :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
Ok, as I have no power for today and my laptop is empty I quickly patched something up in my phone. I'm not sure if that is going to work...

Give it a shot and let me know.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
Installation complete but still blank screen & about the binary you ask me to grab it on another rom, you mean any rom?? including other phone rom?? :confused: as I do not download any custom rom for Galaxy Mini other than yours & my internet is not as fast as light tho, could you upload the binary script?? then replace it using root explorer right? then what is the proper permission to put on that binary script later?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
Download the zip from above post again. The first one was with the binary from a Cm12 Rom as i had no other one available...

This time it's one from Gingerbread. If it still doesn't work, navigate to /system/bin and change the permissions of bootanimation to executable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
After trying other rom by rom, it's seems your rom beat most of other roms cause of it

functionality :) Now I think I just gonna stick with your rom, Really Loved It!

Unfortunately, I have another one last request, after googling for a few days,

It seems there is no solution how to re-enable the Bootlogo using your rom, i mean the

" GT-S5570 " logo that comes before the bootanimation ....

How to enable it back? I really want to know how? Can you give a guide?

Or it is impossible?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
I think the image you mean is in the ramdisk of the kernel and I deleted it to save some more. The image is called TASS.RLE. What you have to do is split the boot.img and add the *.RLE file back to the ramdisk. You can grab it from a Stock kernel if you like.

I quickly prepared a flashable zip to replace the kernel with a kernel with bootsplash. As I do not have my old mini at the moment I can't test it.

Give it a go and let me know if that worked for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
Are those stock kernel you upload? Cause I also want to stick with MRAndroid kernel

Thanks for the feedback btw :good: :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Wooaarr:
It's not the stock kernel. It is my Mr.Android kernel with the boot splash added.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Joe Hanson:
I wonder why the little "android" text still appear. About 12 sec I think.

And it seems It act as bootanimation cause I did not flash any bootanimation

last time I flash your rom

But it worked by the way :) Thanks dude!
