Hello guys. When I insert the SIM Card into the SIM Card slot the phone refuses to read. I also checked the IMEI number by typing *#06# in dialer and the IMEI window opens but it's empty. I've tried turning in airplane mode, wiping dalvik cache, cache and formatting, resetting but still the IMEI is empty and the phone won't read the SIM Card slot. I also tried to clean the sim card slot but I that's not the problem either.

Oh, and I also tried to follow a guide here in the forums but I couldn't find my EFS folder and I stopped following the guide because of that. Can you help me guys?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LGaljo:
I think EFS folder is unique to Samsung devices (not sure). There isn't any folder like that on 4X HD. Try to reflash stock rom, because it will revert it to factory state.

Although there were similar threads on xda, I wonder if any use one on the BN HD+?

I recently bought one from a reseller at amazon and I have tons of problems with it and I suspect it was a fake:

(1) It shows exactly ad 64gb on the file system. Normally it shows something like 59gb,

(2) I created a folder then wrote a whole bunch of pdf files on it, as soon as I tried to read it, I got an read error, the folder would disappear.

(3) The brand is Samsung, all the pictures I saw on the web are in grey lettering, but this one is in black.

Anyone has any idea?

TIA

Thanks, IRD.

[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] simon-edwards:
It does sound like a fake. I've found most of the amazon traders supply fakes. Sweeping statement perhaps, but I've had around a dozen now from different suppliers. Only those sold directly by Amazon seem to be exactly what they claim to be.

Amazon usually refund quickly for fakes.

I use flashcardtester v1.14 which does a destructive write with calculated unique data to every block on the drive in the write-read-back test. Then reads them back and tracks progress graphically.

It is amazing how many stop reading around the 2Gb or 4Gb marks.

If your replacement drive tests out correctly it will then need to be re-inserted to a PC and re-initialised and formatted before use, as the tests wipe all sectors. Including the mbr and initial formatting sectors.

Writing to every sector on a large card is very slow. So try to use a usb3.0 card reader if at all possible.

Btw, for future reference, the hd and hd+ both support 128gb exfat formatted cards.

In cm11 mount the card in the unit then press the ext-sdcard drive in the settings storage menu to recognise it and mount it in the o/s.

64gb cards won't be a problem to cm11, or to the stock Nook o/s for that matter. Although with stock you won't have to manually tell the system that the card is inserted. At least it worked for me every time with 64&128Gb sandisk cards direct from Amazon.

Good luck

Yup, I am returning the card, thanks to all who replied.

Hello,

I am attempting to install CyanogenMod on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". It appears the Fire OS received the recent OTA update to 8.5.1.

Whenever I attempt to root it using the restore exploit used in KFFirstAide or Bin4ry, the device will reboot into a state in which it is nearly unusable. It takes ~2 minutes just to get to the carousel screen from the lock screen. A reset to factory settings fixes this, and I have done this a two times thus far. I tried an application on my PC called Kingo Root to root it, and it does not cause the device to act strangely and slowly, but I do not have access to su. Beyond this, I am unable to access Fastboot. Fastboot just says <Waiting for device> whenever I start my device after using the fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product or any other Fastboot command. I believe I have installed the drivers properly, and the ADB works fine.

What other information should I provide? Are there any steps I could/should try?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I gave up on trying to root and decided to just get the ROM flashed via TWRP (which can be done without root).

So I installed the drivers from here after disabling driver signature enforcement: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9

Now, I am in TWRP.... But I did not transfer the CyanogenMod ZIP to my device. Now I am stuck trying to get ADB sideload to work so I may push the zip to the device. No success thus far. I cannot get the sideload to work, though. The Kindle will not connect to the PC for ADB (no yellow triangles in Device Manager, nothing) and I cannot get into the original OS... So, I am stuck.

Any ideas now?

I was able to root where the device is slow then use adb commands to get the device into fast mode from there you can follow the tutorial that helps you get a second boot loader.

Once you have root and the device is connected over adb then use the command adb shell then run reboot bootloader.

Easy solution to rooting Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with 8.5.1 OS

There is a pretty easy method to root the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with 8.5.1 OS

The problem is that the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with 8.5.1 OS includes a too full system/app folder. Removing the recently included OfficeSuite.apk file from the system/app folder solves the issue.

I modified the original soupkit LINUX root script called "rootplus" to add the rm line shown below.

$SHELL $BUSYBOX rm $SAPP/OfficeSuite.apk

Although unclear, the defined placeholders issue an SU command allowing access to the system folder and removes the OfficeSuite.apk file then proceeds with the normal placement of SU and superuser.apk.

The souptkit rootplus script section showing the modification (third line down):

echo "Installing SU and Superuser..."

$SHELL $BUSYBOX mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system

$SHELL $BUSYBOX rm $SAPP/OfficeSuite.apk

$SHELL $BUSYBOX mv $TMP/su /system/xbin/su

$SHELL $BUSYBOX mv $TMP/Superuser.apk $SAPP/Superuser.apk

$SHELL $BUSYBOX cp $BUSYBOX /system/xbin/busybox

$SHELL chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

$SHELL chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

$SHELL chmod 655 $SAPP/Superuser.apk

$SHELL chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox

$SHELL rm /data/local.prop

echo "Done."

echo "Rebooting, hang in there

If you are using the "root with restore by Binary_V33" script in windows, you would make the very same modification although the script is written much differently.

The "root with restore by Binary_V33" script section showing the modification (:NORMAL section of the RunMe.bat file):

:NORMAL

IF %ric% == 1 GOTO RICSTUFF

echo Going to copy files to it's place

stuff\adb.exe shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system && tmp/busybox rm /system/app/OfficeSuite.apk && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su && /data/local/tmp/busybox mv /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk && /data/local/tmp/busybox cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox && chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su && chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su && chmod 655 /system/app/Superuser.apk && chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox && rm /data/local.prop && reboot"

IF %foo% == 1 GOTO REENTER

GOTO FINISH

You should make the same modification to the ":RICSTUFF" section in case, the ric files are present and the script jumps to this section (Probably not present for most Kindles).

Once either scripts are modified, the modification removes the OfficeSuite.apk file from the /system/app folder, then the script resumes as it would normally and all should be well.

The modifications work regardless of the kindle OS since if the OfficeSuite.apk file is not found, the script continues and does not error out.

Root instructions

Hi can you please post the instructions for the rooting... like step by step instructions? Thanks
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVF_:
I've rooted my device, and managed to get a root without the notorious slowness, but now I seem to be stuck. I have the same issue with < waiting for device >, and being unable to fastboot from the PC. Have you had any luck? Or a workaround? My end goal is the same, install CM 11. Thanks.

Side note: I've also installed TWRP by downloading the APK to my pc, then putting it in downloads on my kindle and then installing from there using ES file explorer. Doesn't help much. I can get into fastboot with it, but it doesn't really help because the kindle will just say fastboot, and is unable to communicate with the PC. Its a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" running 8.5.1.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVF_:
I've done it! Solved! (Kind of)

Okay so to start off, I already had root access, no idea where I found the info or how I did it. I have a script on my pc that I downloaded from sketchy, unknown location, and after running that it finally worked. I can send it to someone if they want it. As for actually installing the second bootloader and such, do the following:

Download fireflash11.apk,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168512

Then download the 6 files on step two of this thread (Make sure you have a Kindle fire HD 8.9"! using the wrong bootloader WILL brick the thing. Note, this works with kindle OS 8.5.1, even though the files are for 8.4.6 and 8.1.4)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

Then follow these two videos. First, you install fireflash, then use it to install the bootloader, and then use the bootloader to install CyanogenMod. Please note that you must use the files from the linked thread above, NOT the ones in the video, as the ones in the video are for a kindle fire 7" Be patient with it, sometimes it seems stuck, but it just needs time. Also, I'm not responsible if you brick your device, pull out your hair, start drinking excessively, etc. These steps worked for me, they are not guaranteed to work for you.

skipping md5 check: no md5 file found

E:zip signature verification failed: 1

error flashing zip "filename"

updating partition details

I have tried flashing cm11 and cm12 with 2 different gaaps and always the same result. I have been successful in doing a factory reset.

Whenever I reboot it cycles through the stock kindle fire screen to the blue kindle fire screen and after the second cycle it puts me into twrp.

Again, thank you for responding.

My auto root script

I had the same bad luck with this new firmware.

Luckily, after going through pieces of information here and there in this forum, I came up with an automated root script that successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 on firmware 8.5.1.

Requirements

------------------

1. Working adb

2. USB debugging is enabled on your Kindle

3. Kindle driver is properly installed

In all, you should be able to see your device after typing 'adb devices' in the shell, otherwise, recheck the above list.

Instructions

--------------

1. Download the attached kfhd89root.zip and extract to any directory.

2. On Windows, run the runme.bat; On *nix, after 'chmod a+x runme.sh', run runme.sh (NOT rootme.sh)

Details

---------

(You can ignore if you are just looking for a working root method)

Reason that this 8.5.1 firmware hard to root:

As pointed out by [MENTION=4582364]galearned[/MENTION] here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57978011&postcount=21), apparently, this is due to the bloatness of firmware 8.5.1 which has the /system partition almost full. The solution is to remove the OfficeSuite.apk from /system/app directory to get some system space for the root to succeed

Root method:

I used [MENTION=885210]macman005[/MENTION] 's method here: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-inch-help/success-rooting-8-5-1-t2943620

I modified the script a little bit, and put [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's SuperSU package together to get this auto-root zip.

Installing CM

----------------

I can't get my KFHD 8.9 into fastboot mode and I don't know why. But if you want to install CyanogenMode, you can use fireflash by [MENTION=5146137]stanga72[/MENTION] (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2168512) after rooting to free the bootloader and then install from TWRP recovery.

Credits

---------

All the related links / people I can recall are mentioned at the end of the runme.bat script. Nothing is mine, I just put pieces together.

History:

----------

2015-03-01: v1.1 - Add in *nix script and mv OfficeSuite.apk instead of rm

2015-03-01: v1.0 - Initial script

confirmed working on my KFHD 8.9 with firmware 8.5.1.

(my first attempt at rooting and custom ROM)

I didn't run the runme.bat but typed in the commands in the batch file one by one.

When it came to the last command: adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"

it failed with a message something like "Write failed. No space on device"

I just run it again and I got root despite the multiple "rm -f: failed...." messages

fastboot did not work for me too, so I went the fireflash route. Make sure to check the "Apply stack override" when running fire flash.

have CM11 running on my kindle now :)

After 8.5.1, no longer recognizes Kindle in DevManager, but still charges

So, Amazon pushed 8.5.1 to my rooted Kindle (not that anyone cares, but I did it because I can't SEE anything in the regular Kindle launcher--with root I can actually INCREASE font size to where I can read it #oldladyproblems) I decided I would do a factory restore and then re-root, because I was getting the famous GApps not responding messages.

Now, my PCs will not recognize my Kindle when I plug it in, but it charges just fine. I've tried multiple PCs with different Windows operating systems, multiple cables--nothing shows up in device manager. Kind of hard to root without a connection. I removed the old Kindle instances with USBDeview. Nothing. I've rebooted and rebooted, regular and hard, with cables plugged in, with cables not plugged in. Uninstalled and reinstalled ADB drivers. Always able to charge, but nothing ever pops up in device manager. I'd think my port was bent or broken, but in all my web research, this seems to have happened to several rooted kindles that got the update. Thanks Amazon.

I'm a terrible programmer and hacker, but I honestly think the update removed some type of driver from my device. Is that crazy? Any advice you can give this user is greatly appreciated!!

I'm sure this TL now. *sigh* Here's my Kindle's deets:
