Unbricking a Fire

I'm no expert but it seems like the Fire "remembered" that the proper Amazon OS was 5.1.2 and you then tried downgrading to an Amazon 5.1.1 and bricked your device. Specifically, the install/uninstall "Preloader USB VCOM Port" driver is the same symptom when I had a failed downgrade attempt (mine is completely bricked and I'm getting a new motherboard). However, you may have hope yet.

Below will be two links. The first is about unbricking failed 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 downgrades. It does have information concerning a failed 5.1.2 to 5.1.1 brick (but the guy couldn't get it back working). The second one is kind of the "jewel" of the two. It has an extremely simple way of using the Preloader to fix a bricked device. If you get no results after entering "./reader.sh", then you'll probably need a new motherboard also (or go back on Amazon and get a new one for $49 or a used one for $29).

Remember, I'm no expert of any kind. I'm just a guy that has had a similar experience that you are having.

stream via hdmi to tv crashes

I have posted elsewhere on the forum but never got a response to the question of getting streaming via hdmi to tv to work on KFHD (tate) 12.1 .

Was there ever a solution to this issue?

KODI and YouTube stream live on device. Doesn't work over HDMI to tv.

Downloaded content plays fine over HDMI to tv. The same material will not live stream to tv over HDMI.

If a youtube video is playing on the unit, as soon as I connect HDMI to tv even with tv OFF the unit freezes.

I no longer have the files to go back to Amazon os and was hoping to be able to use the KF as a streaming device to tv.

I still am on Lollipop. Is this resolved in Marshmallow?

I want to try CM11 on my KFHD (tate) to see if it resolves the live streaming issue over hdmi that i have with cm 12.

Does anyone have the latest tate CM 11 zip as well as the gapps zip to go along with it.

I can't find any of them listed as CM is apparently... gone?

Thanks.

CyanogenMOD is dead. LineageOS is it's successor, but I doubt we'll see any lineage support for tate — Steve Kondik and crew are still trying to get a build system for all their current devices up and running. You might be able to find a CM11 zip on somebody's hard drive here, and you can flash the 4.4.x package from opengapps.org.

Thanks to xda members, I was steered to CM11 archive and after installation, the live streaming issue over hdmi cable to tv is now finally resolved and I am not experiencing any ill effects from downgrading from CM12 to CM11. KFHD tate is running perfectly now.

cannot connect to VPN.

Hi everyone,

Amazing work with the ROMs on the kindle.

I just bought a refurbed Tate about a week ago, I thought I'd try flashing some new ROMs on it. I eventually bricked it and made a flashboot cable and got back up and running due to the help of the people here and other threads.

Anyways, to the point. I am having problems connecting to my VPN (I use Vypr on my devices while on the move, and have it set up on my router when I'm not).

When I flash ROMs above 4.4.4, Vypr won't connect, it either times out or just doesn't respond at all.

I am using CM11 as my daily driver, but would prefer LP over KK. Could someone provide a link to a ROM stable enough to run as a daily, and also work with VPN?

Kind regards.

Andy.

Download source for CM12 hasn't been working for several days (perhaps longer); any chance of an alternate download source?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hamelg:
It seems recent google play version brakes this rom :(

All worked fine until these days. Now, sometimes trebuchet crashes in fast loop. When it happens, the device is unusable. The boot is very slow because theses crashes, if you wait few minutes, the crashes loop stops without apparent reason and you can use the device. I have attached crashes files to my message.

Other cyanogenmod users are affected, see here :

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-jobdispatcher-android/issues/116

[EDIT]

I found out the root cause, google play service is not the issue :

Is there any known issues? Is it better than cm10 for kindle fire hd 8.9?! Can it work well?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Galaxyninja66:
First of all, this is for the 7 inch. Second of all, it really depends. I noticed that my KFHD 8.9" was always a bit slower than my 7". Probably due to using nearly identical processors despite the sizable bump in resolution.

It's really up to you. Personally I think CM10 with all the old apps is the fastest rom for both devices, with CM11 being as far as one can really go. CM12.1 is decently snappy on these devices, and android 5.1.1 is the last version you can go to before everything starts to slow down. This is assuming you are using those horrible Google Apps though. They drain a ton of memory and very VERY noticeably slam performance. You could probably happily use Nougat with the old apps. I noticed just from downgrading the ****ing apps everything sped up considerably. Google 1, End user 0.

Will this work for my 7th Gen, fire7?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:
No, this is for the 1st gen KFHD7 from 2012, otherwise known as "Tate", anything that says "Tate" is for the 1st gen KFHD7, you can't use any ROMs at XDA that have "Tate" in it's name, not any of them at all.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] emeraldspyro:
Awesome, thanks for the heads up! Do you know of any that will work for the 7th gen by chance?

The 7th gen only has root available, no custom ROMs, I believe.

Tate refers to 7" 2nd gen devices, not 1st gen which are designated "Otter".

Tate is 1st gen HD, not 1st gen Fire, see the difference?

It was the first KFHD7, otter was original Kindle fire(non HD).

The only 7th gen device that can be rooted is the HD 10. HD 8 and classic 7" Fire can not be rooted at present.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Odd. For me I was having to re-flash every boot. Flashing the GApps from the first post fixed it.

Also, I noticed that you can no longer adjust the volume of media when the screen is off and the device is locked. I am fairly certain this is possible on my Nexus 7 on Stock Lollipop, so I am wondering if this is a bug or a feature.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] xWolf13:
You do not have to re-flash for each boot. I had the problem also. The device has to fully shut down to be able to boot (I don't know why :confused: ). If you tick reboot, and the bootloop occurs, you need to hold the power button which will shut down the device, and afterwards turn it back on. This time it should boot up.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Maromi:
you can change volume on the lockscreen but when the screen is off the volume rockers control the tracks

i have been able to reboot no issues with regular reboot and advanced reboot

as for gapps i try to use ones that have basic services and install any needed apps thru the play store.

best way to keep stock camera and other apps working.

most gapps apps will start after boot even if there not needed immediately(youtube)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] maxaurelius:
Thanks Hashcode for all your hard work. Flashed CM12 (20141226) and the latest gapps (lp-20141220) on OP didn't get the error message on install.

LMK values do not show on apps which change these values such as PAC performance.

Why arent these files being given proper permissions on boot?

Tap/Touch Issues while charging

Thanks for the release, Hashcode! I've been waiting on pins and needles for this ever since my HTC One got updated :D

I did notice that there are some serious touch response issues while charging. I believe this is/was a problem in CM11, but with one of the more recent updates I hadn't noticed it any more. In CM12, though, it's incredibly bad. Typing results in 4-5 extra characters being entered (keyboard shows touches, too), tapping the app menu will show a tap on Hangouts or Calendar (both immediately next to the app button). Same goes with the Home/Back buttons.

As soon as I unplug the device, everything is A-OK.

Thanks again!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] phonexpert_alex:
it has been discussed numerous times. It seems it all depends on the quality of your charger. The "original" (e.g: Nokia/Apple/Samsung/Amazon) chargers don't seem to affect or trigger these "ghost" touches.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
There's really no way to "ensure" further development. :) But, I'll try to occassionally go through the bug list and work on issues as I get time.

There is a rather large Digital Rights Management issue that I'm looking at on the OMAP4's which may never get resolved for Lollipop. Currently that means no streaming Google Play Movies, problems with Netflix and likely several other issues. Kind of kills off some fairly important functionality of the device. :/

You are correct. And I have solved the widevine issues for Android 5.0 (IE: new widevine L3 DRM libs which work on OMAP4's). I'm checking into how/if I can distribute the binaries.

Netflix is more of a location-based block on streaming and/or some kind of network issue. I see a lot of "Request blocked" messages when testing it.

So progress is sort of being made, I'm not 100% sure it can be made public at the moment.
