4.5.2?

anyone else having trouble with their kindle on 4.5.2 just not showing up in ADB, I'm on a Mac I do have Kies installed for my phone and Android File Transfer.

Should I try going to another computer before I throw the towel in?

UPDATE: 4:11 AM central Time

Yeah... went to another computer and it showed... its all my crap in my computer

HELP

i can't connect my kindle to adb

The serial number does not appear after running "adb devices".:(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] PoisonvilleKids:
Question / Problem: I'm running a Fire HDX7 on Fire OS 4.5.2. I cannot access my existing gmail account using this method, however I am able to create a new one. Once in gmail, everything works as expected, but even when I try to add an existing account from "within" the application, I still get the "unknown username/ password" error. G+ works, but only with the new gmail account I created.

I have factory reset twice, and encountered the same issue both times. Has anyone else using an HDX7 experienced this?

Thanks for the great write-up. Really good stuff.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] thedreadpirate:
I'm also having a password issue. When I try to log in it always says "Your username and password don't match." Has anyone seen and resolved this?

Thanks!

Isn't there an app that you can "pm disable" to allow the Play Store to work?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kenny.lam:
I have been like u, and just follow this step:

developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

everything should be okay
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] Evrglow:
Figured it out. I believe it is because you have two step verification on the account. I turned it off and was able to log on my normal account. Now im not sure how we can get around this. Hopefully someone can figure out how to get it to perform the two step verification.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] thedreadpirate:
I wasn't able to get it to use two step verification, but I was able to get it to work by using a generated "app password" which you can create in the security settings of you gmail account. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks, i made it!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Thanks. It worked on latest FireOS 4.5.2.

However, it does not work with google account with 2-step authentication. I thought it is due to 2-step authentication needs a browser during login process, so I installed chrome and applied the "pm grant ..." permission fix prior to trying to login, but still does not work. In the end, had to use an account w 1-step authentication.

Could you please fix it? Also some updated google apps (google game) require updated google service framework, so it would be great if FireGapps can be upgraded as well.

Regardless, appreciate the hard work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] thedreadpirate:
I mentioned in an earlier post. You can create an "app password" for a 2 step account and that works.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Thanks a lot. Will try that. Do you know how to remove existing google account already set up to these google apps? I hate to have to reset my FireHD to factory in order to try a different google account.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] eldis:
If you remove the Google Account Manager all current Google accounts will be removed. I don't know if clearing data would be enough. You can find newer versions of all Google apps from apkmirror.com . If I remember correctly the Google account manager needs to be the old version or you can't sign in. Something was changed in newer versions. All the others you can update as you wish.

Ps. Newest Google app, v 4.1, even shows the Google Now cards
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Thanks. It worked when I deleted GAM and re-installed.

Can I upgrade the Google Service Framework with new version? It seems the new Google Play Games requires new GSF.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] eldis:
Yes. I have GSF version 4.4.2. I don't remember if it's from apkmirror or from some gapps package. I think the framework should match our version of Android which the Fire OS is built on.

Btw. I had some problems playing videos on the latest available YouTube app from apkmirror.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
Just updated FireGapps with many of the newer apps and the newer Google services
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Thanks a lot.

But where is the new zip file?

BTW, apkmirror doesn't seem to have the GSF.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
Link is on main thread. Same link
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Sorry, I tried twice, it is still the old version.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
Which apps? If you see a number to the left of some of the apps. Those are the updated ones.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
If I following this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx_94ujbh0qoUmtBNzBjMV95eHc/view?usp=sharing, it lets me download the zip file. The zip file has the same size and checksum as the zip file I downloaded before. Also, all the apk files in it has timestamp of 2014-11-08 or earlier.

Is there an update to Google Service Framework?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] powerpoint45:
Yes
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
But the GSF apk file in the new zip is still old 2014/02/09. Could you please update that as well? thanks.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] bookbuster:
Thank your for the tutorial. I got chromecast to work on my Kindle Fire HDX. I am surprised you don't mention that chromecast works more clearly, because I am sure many people are interested in it.

Before I saw your tutorial, I tried installing google apps, etc. and I used a garbage with account. Now that I got it working I added my main account with 2FA and created an app password.

I think having two accounts is screwing up some apps, for instance drive crashes on startup and I can't login to youtube (If I select an account from the two accounts, it crashes).

Do you know anyway I can delete my old account so there is just one single acccount? As far as I know, just uninstalling all the apps won't work, because I did that before I found your tutorial, but the original account was logged in when I completed your tutorial.

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
I think if you uninstall Google Account Manager and reinstall, it will remove all accounts and start from refresh. BTW, I do have 3 accounts work fine in Gmail and Youtube. I can switch accounts if I want.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] bookbuster:
Thanks, I bet you are right.. But I cannot uninstall it because it is not listed as an app. (Google Play Services is, and I tried that already).

If you guys know an easy way to uninstall it, let me know, otherwise I will just be enjoying chrome, youtube, and chromecast while I wait!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] pilmoore:
What about resetting to factory defaults. I know it would mean re-installing and re-configuring a lot of stuff, but....................................if it works you can have Google set up as you want. :confused:

EDIT: try this app from the Google Play Store - AppRemover - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.curvefish.apps.appremover

Google Account Manager shows in the list of apps available for removal on my Fire HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] bookbuster:
Thanks, that app remover did let me uninstall my accounts. Unfortunately it has not really fixed the problem, but it's nice to know I am now using the same apk in the package everyone else is using.

I also had an error using adb, but for now chromecast works and I'm pretty happy with it, when I am really bored one day or when I have more experience with adb I will back up everything and reset my kindle to factory defaults.

Unless that is, someone else has drive crash, and YouTube crashing upon login and knows a quick fix. Chrome login actually works. I just assumed Gmail wouldn't work so I don't think I installed it. Will edit if it does.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
Ever since I updated to the new play services 6.5.99, Gmail stopped working. Everything else I tried still works. Chromecast works as well. If I back of the play service to the old one, Gmail will work, but chromecast will not and needs the new play services. Gmail is the lasted as well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] kzqc:
OK, I downloaded and tested different versions of google play service apk from apkmirror. version 6.5.94 seems to work fine. Gmail, Chrome, chromecast, drive, play games, play store, google+, google search, youtube all work.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] DivinityCycle:
Which guide? Do you know the version numbers of the apps you installed? Also, did you install the Play Store? In my tests I found it was needed to get most sync functionality to work. It's totally unclear to me why something like Google Chrome's bookmarks & history sync would require the Google Play Store app, but with it installed, Chrome can sync. Without it installed, Chrome cannot sync. I dunno if you saw my big post like 2 above yours, but I've got a set of working APKs I posted there.

Do you know if OpenGapps will work on the latest FireOS? As in, get the minimalist version and try to install it to at least get the Google Framework?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] DB126:
GAaps does not play nice with FireOS v3 or v4. If you have a 4th Gen HDX with FireOS v5 OpenGAaps Nano should get you the basic framework. I do not have a lot of personal experience in this area (GAaps on 4th Gen HDX) so you may want to wait for some other responses.

Also note all 3rd and 4th Gen HDX devices can now be rooted which simplifies most GAaps installs.

Thank you for the tutorial! I successfully installed Gapps on a friend's Fire HDX 8.9" running FireOS 5.3.1 (they didn't want me try rooting their Kindle). It works great and I found that you can download apps from Google Play Store.

Has anyone tried this on a non rooted fire TV 2 with the latest 5.2.4.0 ? If so did you upgrade the Googleplayservices to the latest and if you did where did you get it ? My intent is just for games so I can login and play multiplayer and keep scores etc to working sideloaded games.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] DB126:
Might want to consult the following thread which outlines a similar process for 5th gen Fire tablets which has also proven effective on 4th and 6th gen devices. Common denominator is FireOS v5 which is much more receptive to GAaps components than FireOS v4.

Hi rooted my hdx7 with kingroot to find that the method I was going to use to install Gapps is now not recommended. I am currently on 4.5.5.2 would this method work, I only really want google services so dont need to go to the extreme of flashing roms etc.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] DB126:
GAaps does not run well on FireOS v4. Period. Yes, it can be made to work, sort of, but not without considerable effort and likely disappointing results.

Suggest going w/Fire Nexus ROM if you want a hassle free Android experience without jumping through hoops. There's a small amount of up front work and exposure to unfamiliar interfaces/terms if you have never used a recovery like TWRP. However, once Nexus is in the ride forward is smooth sailing.

Caveats:

- not the right choice if unfamiliar with Android or have never been exposed to anything other than FireOS

- users of Prime Video and Kindle books (especially lending/sharing services) sometimes find the FireOS versions of these apps to be more appealing

- existing device contents will be lost if no action is taken to backup personal data

- device can not be fully restored to pure stock; FireOS can be reinstalled but it will no longer receive automated updates; not really a big deal as Amazon isn't doing much with FireOS v4 these days
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] mykey38:
I have played round with Roms on my nexus 7 but that was mainly through the toolkit and being a nexus is probably an easy platform than fire os.

Not bothered about Amazon services so I am not forsaking too much on that front.

A little more reading to be done before going any further then.

Thanks for the help so far.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Themes and Apps] DB126:
Here's the extreme Reader's Digest version which you won't find elsewhere (for those who hate fluff):

- read intro and then follow step #2 (and only step #2) from this post

- boot into TWRP (<power>+<vol-up>) perform a factory reset from the Wipe menu

- return to TWRP home screen and flash Nexus ROM (includes everything you need)

In your research you will like encounter guidance that suggests/mandates unlocking the bootloader (advisable but NOT required for Fire Nexus), wading through nauseating GAaps options (baked into Nexus) and messing around with SuperSU (also baked into Nexus). It's really that easy. :)

Hi guys,

alright, I've an HTC One Mini M4, to root it i've unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and rooted using SuperSU by flashing the .zip archive from the recovery... after rooted i got some problems so i decided to return stock completely: on supersu settings i tapped Complete Unroot (or something like that) and i rebooted system, but supersu was still there! so i erased the supersu .zip archive from the storage using es file explorer, tapped on complete unroot and rebooted system, but supersu was still there, so i decided to wipe all the phone data by twrp recovery (including system) because i thought it was a good idea. i was wrong: now i've no os on my phone, i've just custom recovery (twrp) installed and *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* bootloader... unfortunately i didn't backup anything before doing all this things. I also tried to download a ROM and flash it by adb using my pc, but adb doesn't recognize the phone, only HTC sync manager recognize that a phone is plugged...

so i ask you, how can i return factory system, factory recovery, and lock bootloader like it wasn't never unlocked?

Hope you can help me :( i'm desperate :crying:

PS: sorry for my english, but it isn't my native language.
[HTC One Mini] tylerleo:
Well, definitely ****ed up here. Take out the sd card, put it in another phone if possible, and download the stock Rom for your HTC on to the phone you put the sd card in(put the Rom in a place you know where it's at). Put the sd card back into the htc, and flash it through twrp.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
[MENTION=5989658]tylerleo[/MENTION] you definitely ****ed up there.. M4 doesn't have ext sd card ?

Get rid of htc sync, re-install adb if need be, and adb push rom zip to phone. Failing that get an otg cable/drive. There are posts on this forum already regarding no os that will give you a detailed walkthrough
