PR0JEKT N3XTP0P

Project NextPop is an unofficial port of Android 5.0.1 Lollipop for the Nextbook 8 Quad Core.​

So... Here I am, with my Nextbook 8 Quad Core "Limited Edition", upset that 5.0.1 Lollipop won't get a port over to this tablet. What is my solution? PORT THIS BAD BOY OVER, OBVIOUSLY!!! Now, that's difficult, as I have NO IDEA how to even start... But to those wondering as to what it does, it LITERALLY just 5.0.1 on Nextbook 8 but with a non-root rom and a root rom... All help is appreciated!

Ok so to start this was my first time roots and putting a custom os on an android device. It's a first gen kindle fire the firmware originally on it was 6.3.3. I rooted it using safe root with success. I then proceeded to install TWRP and that worked with out an issue. I basically followed lthis tutorial. I then booted into TWRP and cleared the cache then did a factory reset. I then install the newest version of CM 11 without issue then proceeded to install gaaps for it but it failed I figured it wouldn't matter (dumb thing to think). Then i rebooted it got stuck at the boot logo so i figured i messed up a step so I figured I'd just start from scratch just to be safe. I went back into TWRP and cleared all the caches and did a factory reset and installed the os from amazons website which i thought was the same firmware as before (6.3.3) but I later found out it was 6.2.1 and rebooted and got stuck at the boot logo again but this time there was no TWRP to boot into which is where I am stuck now. Windows picks it up as kindle in the device manager adb can pick it up too. I figured I'd try rooting it again all the commands it does fails because /system/bin/sh doesn't exist. Then it reboots and says something has deleted su looking for backup copy then says the back up is gone too and it can't recover. I then tried putting it into fastboot mode again with the commands and no luck it says /system/bin/sh doesn't exist so I can't do that. Im stumped now couldn't find anything through googling and searching the forums. Is my kindle bricked?

alright I was hoping I didn't have to. Is there any good places to buy it from other than ebay that ship to canada?

Edit: Nevermind I decided just to go to ebay. Thanks for the help.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
so I just downloaded djay2 and I was playing around with it. there doesn't seem to be a way to dual output audio. I want to get the que signal to play through the headphones while the mixed music plays through the main speakers. Obviously I know this won't work with the stock configuration, but does anyone know if there's a root solution out there? Has anyone seen a mod for this? By the way if you're interested in spinning or just music in general, djay 2 is pretty awesome
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
That won't be possible due to the hardware.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
So check out this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12018786

This guy seems to indicate that there is a way to do it. It's WAY above my skill level, but maybe someone else would take an interest. Xposed module perhaps?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
Also its possible to play separate audio tracks through the headphone jack, as in the app supports sending the cue signal through a mono channel and the music through the stereo channel with a mono/stereo adapter. Does the headphone jack physically interrupt the same signal from getting to the internal speakers?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monchweez:
Hi. I had been rooting my KF1 since I had the guts to do it. Anyway, in a couple of years we always update it. So yeah, I had my KF factory reset just this year because no one answered my question about how to install a new ROM when you already have your KF rooted. So I was back to zero and did the same process, everything was a success. Now, I don't want to go through the same process because I don't have the PC I used to install the KFU before. And my PC is running on Windows 8 and I've read there are problems in installing KFU on Windows 8.

The main question is, is it necessary to update my TWRP to the latest version? I don't have a Windows 7 PC. I just want to install a new ROM (Kitkat) and gapps since my Google Apps has been crashing already. My KF1 is currently running on Jellybean.

Thanks for your immediate reply!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
You need twrp 2.7.x to flash KitKat. There is a zip file available to flash in an existing twrp. Then you can download kk and flash it.

PLZ HELP

I have a Kindle fire 1st generation, I rooted it but i didn't install any ROMs or android operating system. I got this app called rom toolbox and I deleted the kindle operating system now when I turn on my Kindle it has the stock bootlogo and it stays that way. I've read and read and read and I've come to the conclusion that my device is doing exactly what it should, running the bootloader and waiting for some operating system to take over. I didn't have TWRP installed, and I didnt use KFU to root my device I used this app called Key Root Master (VER 1.3.6), and in every thread the person used KFU or TWRP so I dont know what do please help me!!

You will need a Fastboot Cable see

Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
So basically I use the fastboot cable and somehow that will launch TWRP which I never had. And it will allow me to flash a ROM to get it working again
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
The fastboot cable forces the kindle into fastboot mode, where twrp and fff (custom bootloader) can be flashed.

once you have twrp, you can reinstall stock or install a custom rom
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
Ok so the fastboot cable allows the kindle access to twrp and once I have that how do I install a new ROM I really want Android (4.4 or up)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
the Fastboot cable allows you to flash Twrp/fff.

You don't need the cable to access twrp

Pick a rom from the Index, download it to a pc, connect kindle,

In twrp select Mount>check storage/sd card>mount usb

copy rom file to Kindle

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
Hi! Long time no talk. Today I went in my closet and found my Kindle and thought why not give it another go. This time I used a Windows 10 cpu and things went well. I followed the instructions in your video to the tee and then I got a fff bootloader. But it seems as if the TWRP file didn't flash. And I know it didn't because I tried to scroll into recovery (via fff bootloader) and it wasn't there as well as in the command prompt it said error: could not load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-otter.img' No Error. So I was hoping this was a common error so I could easily get TWRP? Please tell me you can help?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
Hello again Mr.Shadow. I tried to flash a different version of twrp (2.2.2.1) and still didn't work. The md5 codes matched and everything. I have a few images with me as well this time showing you the errors and all. I have been changing the codes to match the version of twrp I have as well. I also so in your video you had downloaded the blaze version of twrp but had pasted the otter version in the code and it still worked for you? Do I need to download a blaze file but run a otter code?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
you only need

when you have stock bootloader
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
Will this fix my twrp flashing problem?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shameek97:
[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] i think I may have just figured out my other problem. Since I deleted the OS I don't have USB debugging enabled. This might be what is causing me not to be able to push adb commands and flash a recovery! If you think that's the problem? And if it is how can I fix it?

no, adb debugging only is important when rom is running

I just bought my aunt the new moto g. Her first smart phone. I activated the phone through her gmail account which was rather not used too much. I notice that the preinstalled apps like google maps, youtube , keep, play games, movies etc were not showing up on the my apps section within the play store. I wanted to update them. So i had to search for each app and update them manually. Then I decided to add my account and I could see all the apps in my apps and update them accordingly. Now i want to know whats wrong with my aunt's account.

I havent used and SD card in this phone the entire time I've owned it, but today I popped a 32Gb class 10 card in, and erased it of everything.

Now the phone recognizes the card and is reporting how much free space is available, but I cant seem to put anything on it, no pictures/videos, no game files, nothing. The camera app doesn't give me the option of saving to the card either.

The only Android/SD card experience I have is with a Note II that I used to own, and my Shield Portable. Both of those devices give me options to use the card in one manner or the other.
