[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophello:
I'm researching whether I can root/convert a Kindle Fire HD7 into a single-use video player. I'm planning to ship the player to a client as part of a promotion my company is doing.

Here's what I'm hoping for:

The client opens up the box and sees the Kindle Fire.

The client turns the Kindle Fire on and the screen displays instructions to put the headphones on and then press play.

The client puts on the supplied headphones and presses play. The video plays.

The video finishes playing and returns to the previous screen.

I don't want apps, menus, settings, or anything else available. I just want it to do this one thing and do it perfectly without a hitch. The only thing that the client should be able to do is:

A. Turn the Kindle on.

B. Adjust the volume.

C. Watch the video as many times as they wish.

D. Turn the Kindle off.

This might be a long shot, and I've never rooted a device or worked with Android developers, but my cursory research has led me to this forum and I'd be eager to hear your input. I have a hunch that a rooted Kindle can achieve this.

If this would work better or be easier to achieve with another tablet (perhaps an older one) I would gladly entertain that possibility. My boss bought the Kindle Fire HD7 for this purpose so I'd like to at least give this a shot before throwing in the towel.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I'm willing to bet you can accomplish this with a launcher.

You need to find a launcher you can

1: hide apps on

2: lock settings with password

Then I would simply hide all apps except your video app and lock the launcher

My initial thoughts are a child safe launcher those are very very customizable and usually lock out everything and are password protected.

Hi, I have recently been experiencing random reboots in the middle of using my phone on Android 5.0.2. For example, I could be playing a game or browsing the Play Store and it would just reboot in the middle of it.

Hi all,

I have upgraded my Hermes (8525) to the Black 2.0.1 Cingular version. nice rom by the way. Since upgrading, when I "Explore" my device using activesync it brings up c:\ not the device. This is the first time I am trying to get info from/to the device since upgrading. I have rebooted my PC and softreset my PPC and ensured that the firewall was off and still no dice.

Anyone seen this before? a quick search didn't turn up much (in english);

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TBCompDesign:
Nope. Didn't work. Activesync works OK. I can sync all the information I want. i thought maybe it had to do with "Allowing Wireless Connections" while connected to the computer, I disabled that and still no change.

Custel, your cingular additions to the Black rom Rock. Do you plan on customizing the Black 2.5 rom once released?

So I've rooted my wifes old nook tablet(bntv250), and it works great, if a bit slow(cm10-20121108-unofficial-acclaim) and I want to transfer some e-books to the internal storage. I can navigate to the location I want them in on the device from the device, but Windows only sees a .99gb internal storage that is empty. I can send some item using the send to kindle email, but want to know how to move items from an external sd card to the internal memory. The file manager is not intuitive in this respect(not like the one on my Samsung phone, which is not rooted). I've tried searching and can't find the info I need. The files I want to move are to big to use send to kindle email. Other than this one issue, I am really liking this thing now that it is rooted. Wish I had done it 2 years ago... TIA
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
You should be able to use a file manager app to copy/move content from SD card to internal memory. Which file manager are you using? FWIW, I use ES File Explorer and it works great -- with its "Root Explorer" option enabled you can access any folder/file.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] milehighxr:
Trying to use the one that came in the ROM, but I see no way of moving the files around. I had to get root access just to find the folder I wanted to put files into. And why can't windows see the internal memory?

The internal storage and the user-media are on two different partitions, standard Windows can access only one partition of a removable drive, in this case it's the user-media (FAT32) partition.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTofik:
Hello.

I am currently running ParanoidAndroid 4.6Beta5. Since PA's developement for M8 seems to be dead, I wanted to try CM12.

When I tried to install latest nightly build of CM12 I got a message that my bootloader (3.16) is not supported, and that I need to update it to 3.18 or 3.19.

I googled a bit and found out that in order to update it, I need to restore latest official ROM.

I managed to restore official ROM (3.28.401.6, based on android 4.4.4) but the WiFi wasn't working, so I couldn't do much there. I relocked bootloader and flashed official recovery, and then tried to run RUU.

RUU failed with code [315]. I ran out of ideas and google results to browse.

I unlocked my bootloader again, flashed clockworkmod recovery back, and restored my backup of ParanoidAndroid.

Right now the phone is in the same state as when I was starting.

Here is some basic info about my phone:

So the basic question is: how to flash CM12 on HTC One M8? I spent so many hours on it without any result, so this thread is my last chance.

Edit: SOLVED!

See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58859881&postcount=13 for solution.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Since you are S-On, you can't just flash the firmware, which is the easiest way. But you can use this method.

I'll give you an RUU to flash. But before you flash it, backup everything that is important to you, because this will wipe your phone.

Download this.

Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (that's a zero not the letter)

Put it onto the root of your extSD (By root of I mean just on the card and not a folder)

Boot into bootloader and choose hboot.

Follow the prompts (vol up to flash, power button to reboot when done)

Congratulations! You now have the latest lollipop firmware.

Make sure you delete the renamed zip from your extSD when you are done. If you don't delete it, it will try to update again every time you go back to hboot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTofik:
What do you mean by firmware. Bootloader or ROM? I did 'just' flash PA without a problem.

I guess the ROM you liked is the latest official one. By installing it I will get my bootloader updated and then I will be able to flash CM12. Do I get this right? or will I get stuck on stock forever?

Edit: I just tried to flash your image using hboot but it didn't work. Check file attached.

I checked MD5 checksum just to make sure that it did download correctly and it does match with the one on the download page. However, I did notice that when I'm trying to open that zip file on my PC I'm getting an error saying that the archive is corrupted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
It probably didn't work because you are S-On. The method I gave you is generally used by S-Off users to flash firmware, but since it was a signed zip, I thought it might work.

Rename the download I gave you to ROM.zip at put it into your fastboot/platform-tools folder on your PC. Then hook your phone up to your PC and fastbooot.

fastboot devices to make sure your phone and PC are properly connected. (letters and numbers/ser. #)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTofik:

Is it not possible to just restore whatever ROM my phone came with and then just do the OTA update?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
LOL!

Yes. I got caught up in this method. You will also need the stock recovery (more important than the ROM) to use the OTAs. Plus your system partition has to be unmodified. That means no Xposed modules. If you have them, delete them using Xposed framework, then uninstall that as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTofik:
So if I get this right, I just need to restore my factory ROM and Recovery image, then update it through OTA to lollipop. After that I will be able to flash my custom recovery and ROMs once again, right?

Do you have any links to the ROM and Recovery to my phone?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yes. Sorry for the confusion I have caused.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTofik:
Success. For future generations, here is what I did:

Using fastboot getvar all command I found out that my phone was still mentally stuck on stock rom 1.54.401.5. Using this info, I downloaded matching nandroid backup of that ROM from here and restored it using my custom recovery.

Then, downloading from the same thread, I flashed back stock recovery image using HTC One 2014 (M8) All-In-One Toolkit V2.0.

I was back on my original ROM with original recovery, so I started doing OTA updates until I got to the official android 5.0.1. These updates updated my bootloader to version 3.19.

Having the bootloader that I needed, I flashed custom recovery and installed CM12 without any problem.

Thanks for help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noo_too_droid:
Hey, I just found this as I am having the same problem. I am trying to follow your solution, but hit a road block and was wondering if you could help. I ran the command "fastboot getvar all" in fastboot and got output similar to yours. Following your advice I looked at the line (bootloader) version-main: 1.55.605.2 which is different than yours, but okay I just need to find a matching one. But when I go to the link that you had provided I can't find a backup that matches mine (or at least I think I can't). What does it mean for it to match anyway? I'm getting so close! I want cm12!!

The number needs to match

exactly

to restore to stock and OTA update the software/firmware (and therefore update hboot).

You can try to post on the following thread, and ask if someone can post the stock nandroid for 1.55.605.2 :http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Otherwise (if you can't get a stock nandroid) you may need to resort to getting s-off in order to update hboot (actually I recommend updating all firmware, not just hboot).

Hi there! I have a problem with my One M8 (S-OFF) - I cant flash any ROM on it. I can restore backups from a CM11 4.4.4 and an ARHD 41.0 but can't upgrade from either. I was looking at your solution and noticed that my ROM number is blank when I run fastboot getvar all. Is this a matter of concern? How can I flash a ROM again?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Your version-main is blank because of a bug in some older TWRPs. Update to 2.8.7.0. Flashing the new recovery won't fix version-main being blank until you flash new firmware though.

Also, you probably do have to update your firmware. You say you can't flash any ROMs, but you give no details.
