[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
hi,

i made a stupid error while installing TWRP:

i was on 13.3.2.4, so i did the following:

- downgraded according http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/13-3-2-4-rollback-images-t299101 with a rollback-image to 13.3.0.9

- upgrade to 13.3.1.0 with the manual method (in airplane mode).

-

forgot

to unlock bootloader

- rooted with towelroot

- installed twrp

- checked Firmware-version, saw, that it still was on 13.3.0.9

- tried to manually upgrade to 13.3.1.0 with the manual method (in airplane mode) again, but since the recovery was now twrp with a locked bootloader, the reboot to install the update (via recovery) stuck at the grey kindle logo.

any chance to install the stock recovery?

i tried to unlock the bootloader at this state (manfid+serial into cuber, get a xxxxxxx.unlock, booting to fastboot, fastboot flash unlock xxxxxxx.unlock, but got an

flash:unlock...FAIL:Unlock code is NOT correct.

any hints?

btw - settings/device/update shows that the device is still at 13.3.0.9_user_300079820
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] derpadoodle:
Have you tried a few reboots? Also try booting into recovery with power+vol up, does it take you into TWRP? Note that if you got the recovery image from the development section here it is signed to work on in a locked bootloader, you don't need to unlock for it to work.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
Yes, i tried several reboots, version keeps 13.3.0.9.

Reboot with power-vol+ gives me the grey kindle fire logo.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
You should be ok - but proceed carefully if you can not get to any recovery (see previous post for suggestions). Check for a recovery.img file in the recovery directory under sdcard. Good chance it is one of the stock Amazon recoveries. Use a hash tool (eg: Hash Droid) to verify it is NOT the TWRP recovery image. Unfortunately, I can't give you a MD5 for the amazon recovery is mine is for 3.2.6. Install Flashify and (carefully) locate the correct recovery.img file the reflash. Make sure you are flashing recovery, not a boot image! You can reroot with Towelroot if necessary.

That said, might want to wait a day or two for others to chime in. The above procedure worked for me when I accidentally flashed 3.2.6 after installing TWRP and Nexus. The latter survived my blunder (thankfully!) but recovery got hosed. Story here, posts #115-121.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] derpadoodle:
OK, then you are still on 3.2.4. Do a factory reset from your current ROMs settings menu, reboot and attempt the upgrade again. I'd suggest you get the 3.2.3.2 Amazon .bin and update to that rather than 3.2.1 as it's the optimal version to use.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
Factory-reset does not work, sind it would boot the recovery, which is non functional ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
sadly, there is no recovery folder under sdcard. Any Idea where to get a stock recovery, that can be flashed via flashify?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] derpadoodle:
It shouldn't need to boot the recovery, I did the same thing installing TWRP on 3.2.4 and was still able to downgrade after forcing a few reboots when it got stuck on the grey logo. I have seen a stock bootloader posted here for that firmware but I'm not sure where it was, you'd have to do some digging around and hope that someone else provides a dump for you.

Also, did you block OTA updates after you rooted at all? If so, did you run the unblock script before attempting to update?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Guessing you are not rooted and thus the directory is hidden. Might also explain why flashify backups were empty. Try Towelroot again. After root confirmed navigate to device (/) using ES file File Explorer (or similar tool) and use the search function to look for any recovery.img files.

I was never successful in finding a flashable stock recovery and only stumbled on the one located on my device after days of scouring various forums. Maybe I just got lucky.

So it would seem. Suggest following 'redo' guidance from derpadoodle. My bad on flashify backup comment. I was following a couple of similar posts and got them mixed up.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
i extracted a update-kindle-13.3.1.0_user_310079820.bin and found a script named "install-recovery.sh", which does a applypatch with recovery-from-boot.p

would this a way to restore a stock recovery?

could i simply copy the recovery-from-boot.p to /sdcard and then issue (via adb shell) a

applypatch -b /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot:7047168:52fdd36db56cd4f52aa7566050026df5890e49f4 EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery 063993bdc8b5b866ce29899c63323369b6eaeb33 8939520 52fdd36db56cd4f52aa7566050026df5890e49f4:/sdcard/recovery-from-boot.p

(above statement was copy'N'pasted from the script, only path to recovery-from-boot.p was changed ...)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
Redo the upgrade will not work, since both wipe device and upgrade to 13.3.2.4 would invoke the recovery, which is non funktional ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I don't think that is correct. I downgraded several times from 3.2.6 and never once had to use recovery. If you are uncomfortable starting from 3.2.4 (which I believe involves editing build prop) suggest upgrading to 3.2.6 (look through the forums to find a suitable image) then downgrading to 3.1.0 using the instructions here. From there you can install TWRP and safely upgrade to 3.2.3.

I understand this sounds convoluted but the steps are relatively easy and, more importantly, reasonably safe given you can only work from stock with a borked recovery. As aways, an unrecoverable brick is possible flashing anything with a locked boot loader. Proceed with caution.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
this does (and did) not work. I made sure, that the settings in the build.prop were correct according to this thread.

So the Device thinks, it's on 13.3.0.9

after that, it does not matter, if i put

update-kindle-13.3.1.0_user_310079820.bin

update-kindle-13.3.2.3.2_user_323001720.bin

or

update-kindle-13.3.2.6_user_326001820.bin

in /sdcard/, because after verify of image, the device reboots and shows me a grey logo.

i made a small video of the downgrade/update-tests, you can see the results here
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] futzmaster:
you asked for the stock recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57972022&postcount=61

this is 13.3.2.4...

(be 100% sure which version you really have on your device ;) )
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Thank you for the video. I believe there is a permissions issue somewhere but I am not smart enough to identify where. Hopefully someone else who has traveled this path can jump in with the answer.

I stand by my belief that you do not need recovery to accomplish the changes that you are attempting; nor is a complete wipe a certainty. I noted someone posted a 3.2.4 recovery image in another thread; hopefully that will rectify the situation for you and prove/disprove it was needed for the upgrade. We all might learn something from your experience. Good luck!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sn123py:
solved!

HEY, *this* was very helpfull, thanks.

i flashed this image via flashify and was able to reboot to recovery again. After that, installing downgrade-images was a snap.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

to all: i (we) learned: a recovery is indeed used for factory settings and for up/downgrades.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
If you mean Amazon's standard process, then you are absolutely right.

I'd still venture, that simply flashing emmc_appsboot.mbn from .3.2.3.2

to the 'aboot' partition and TWRP (with forged sig) to 'recovery' would

have solved your issue faster. (And, you don't even need flashify, just

use good old 'dd'.) I'm considering building an app that would perform

exactly this (rooting before, if needed; and downloading either the

latest sanitized Amazon update, or one of the CM ROM:s aftterwards

for installation via TWRP), but I'm too lazy to re-roll my own tablet.

So, I'm looking both for arguments against this method (shouldn't be any :p)

and potential testers who got stuck or haven't even started...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Well, wa-da-ya know. I stand corrected on the need for a working recovery to execute an upgrade/downgrade via Amazon's standard process. Rather dumb IMO (likely just a checkpoint vs true need) but in the end it really doesn't matter. Someone else is almost certain to fall into the same pit and benefit from your experience.

Ok, I tried to help, but it seems that you need to do some research about recovery and supersu and find out what is that you want to do after root.

In About phone only way to identify kernels version is it's build date. On screenshot attached you can see that build date is Oct 9th, it's 157 firmware.

Other way to check is just connect your phone to flashtool and it should show all firmware details. And third way is *#*#73784237#*# services menu.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but here are some infos:

I think there is some misinformation for beginner users here, in order to root a phone you either

A) flash a custom firmware / unlock the bootloader / flash a different kernel / ...

B) need to find a security vulnerability in android and exploit it. Now you can imagine, finding those loopholes is not that easy since google tries it best to not write errors in the code.

Here is a good read about understanding the 101: http://geeksided.com/2014/06/16/towelroot-exploit-reveals-security-nightmare-android/

Since we have an Intel CPU, any exploit will not work without modifying it to our platform!

For example, Kingroot is for MediaTek MT6582 devices.

Towelroot uses this: http://blog.nativeflow.com/the-futex-vulnerability

http://blog.nativeflow.com/escalating-futex

http://blog.nativeflow.com/pwning-the-kernel-root

On android JB there was a big master key vulnerability, which Saudik Cydia Impactor exploitet.

jcase was really nice and wrote an exploit for that on a weekend (thanks again!) but since our phones got upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 with secuirty patches from 4.4.4, all vulnerabilities are patched up to version 4.4.4

So what does this mean and what can you do?

Either find a vulneraribility yourself or if there is an exploit that works for devices with 4.4.4, there is a very high chance this will work for us. It just needs to get adjusted to our intel cpu. The easiest way would be to write to the person who wrote an exploit and ask them nicely to fix something up for an intel device.

Here is a list of vulneraribilities for 4.4.4: https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/...es=on&cpe_version=cpe:/o:google:android:4.4.4

Moforoot also allows flashing firmware that is not signed by Motorola, however, we do not have any fastboot firmware of the KK version, only JB+ota to KK

Otherwise you could use moforoot to create a pre rooted firmware for a locked BL

Wow, thanks for the explanation. Now I understand it, I thought the x86 translator would translate the root program, too. ?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagoban:
the ARM-x86 translator is called houdini, you can read more about it here: https://commonsware.com/blog/2013/11/21/libhoudini-what-it-means-for-developers.html or here is a good pic:

Since exploits are aiming on the core parts of the android OS / kernel / ... you basicially really need to write something for intel's x86.

I don't have my Razr I anymore (it broke and motorola replaced it with a Moto G :( ) I can't try things like moforoot, but if you want to give it a try, download and start this app: https://mofo.disekt.org/#usage

If that works, you only need to get your hands on a fasboot kitkat firmware (not out yet) to be able to modify it with moforoot, or maybe there is a way of creating a flashable system img file, but I'm not sure about that, maybe [MENTION=4479363]Hazou[/MENTION] knows.

Again, moforoot would allow you to add root to the system image file that you could flash with fastboot (the manual version of RSDlite) with a locked BL
