Hi there.

Just unlocked my bootloader. Was previously on Safestrap 4.1 and Nexus ROM. Unlock went fine and TWRP is installed. I booted into TWRP and in advanced wipe I wiped, System, Cache, Data, and Dalvik. Installed the CM12.1 Thor latest version (no other zip on top) and after reboot I just have the animated bootup screen with the CM face. Been like this for about 15 minutes.

Should it take this long or is something wrong?!?!?!?

EDIT - Nevermid, was on the verge of rebooting as had been about 30 minutes and it finally went onto optimising apps...... phew!!!!!!

2nd EDIT!!!!! - Now Im in a reboot loop about 10 seconds after the setup screen loads, just suddenly reboots and takes about 10 minutes to boot back to the setup screen. Tried getting through it but will just freeze and reboot constantly.

Thanks

As said above unlocked my boot loader using http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/thor-unlocking-bootloader-firmware-t3463982

Installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 ok. Tried installing this ROM and after android is optimizing apps I get the setup screen and then looks like a window pops up saying something has forced closed and then the tablet reboots and I am stuck in this loop. I tried reinstalling and same thing. each time i have used advanced wipe and wiped system, data, cahe and dalvik

I tried downloading the ROM again but still no joy. I also cant install the nexus ROM I was on as when flashing I get an error regarding not being to install over a newer build

Any ideas what is going wrong?????
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Try flashing CM 11. I know it sounds like guesswork. Bear with me and give it a whirl. Have and idea what's going on. On the road so can't post links. Thanks for your patience.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] djclark25:
Just downloaded CM11 and installed and that has installed fine. My daughter uses this a lot more than me and there were mass tantrums when she couldnt play her games yesterday evening (Shes only 2 and a half!!) Will restore her games from Titanium backup and keep her happy!!

Obviously happy to try anything to help resolve the issue I was having as now I know I can get it back to a fit state for her Im happy!!

Thanks for your help

I had similar trouble with the the nexus rom. Es file explorer gives it a date of 8/31/1969. I think this may be where the problem comes from [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] said he would look into it when back from holiday. Currently though I have cm12.1 running sweet and probably won't change unless I find a deal breaker in this rom. Props to all the devs and many thanks to [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] for your patience and help.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
I believe the problem stems from a glitch in TWRP 3.0.2.0 for HDX (latest) as others have reported unusual behaviors flashing various ROMs with this build. I do have older builds squired away in the bomb shelter but I am loath to provide a link until [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] weighs in. Last thing we need is some weenie posting different versions of TWRP based on a 'hunch' which could turn out to be a wild hair/hare (both apply).

Sounds like you are ok with CM 11 for now. Post back if that turns out not to be the case.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] djclark25:
Yes all ok with CM11, few little bits I need to sort that are slightly different to the Nexus ROM but all up and running. (Lockscreen targets, just want daughter to be able to swipe in any location to unlock.....gravity box not overriding.....)

I do have a 3.0.0.0 version of TWRP that I could install and try to flash Cm12.1 if I have time over the next few days.

The main thing is my daughter will be happy when I get home from work later!!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
GravityBox functionality mostly works on CM11 with notable exception to where UI 'enhancements' overlap. CM11 offers some limited lock screen customizations, including slider shortcuts, via Settings->Lock Screen. Might have what you are looking for.

Edit: 3.0.1.x would be better as the base release had a few issues (nothing major) as to be expected with a .0 build. Just make sure it is customized for HDX. Flashing a generic version could be fatal if it assumes different partitions/alignments.

Just flashed TWRP 3.0.0.0 (couldnt find anything a 3.0.1.0 image) and re-flashed CM12.1 and all looking ok so far. Took hardly any tme for the first boot compared to flashing under TWRP 3.0.2.0 and no reboot at the setup screen

All happy, time to restore everything and enjoy a more updated tablet!!

Thanks for the suggestion to try an ealier TWRP
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] dmansk:
Does this support HDX 7 & 8.9 with Safestrap 4? Or must your bootloader be truly unlocked? I've been running CM11 for safestrap for a few months and its great. Was hoping to get this going now. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Bootloader must be unlocked. Only KitKat based roms w/Safestrap v4.

What is Bluetooth like nowadays for cm12? I'd like to switch to lollipop but I use Fire Nexus for taking and retro gaming so no Bluetooth gamepad is a deal breaker for me.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] ggow:
Bluetooth support is still not good, in lollipop and marshmallow. Stick with Fire Nexus for now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] XtheWiz:
How can I switch to this version from CM11 ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Are you running CM 11 under Safestrap? If so the bootloader on your device is likely locked. You can unlock using the procedure here but it's not for the inexperienced. Unlocking the bootloader is a prerequisite to installing a custom recovery and most ROMs for this device. Unless you have a solid technical background (and lots of time) I suggest remaining on CM11 until a simplified bootloader unlock procedure becomes available.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] XtheWiz:
Ah, thank you very much. I decide to stay with CM11. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] pxrave:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Antonntminh:
Flashed this ROM after others get my wi-fi connection simultaneously disconnect, and don't have any problem so far. Just drop this in case anyone have the same issue with mine, kudos to OP :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Been using this ROM in lieu of CM-13 for several months and have yet to experience a significant WiFi issue. Sometimes takes a few seconds to connect when emerging from sleep; no longer than some of my other devices. Toss in Nova, GravityBox and Greenify and you have a ROM that cosmetically and functionally mirrors the most appealing features of Marshmallow.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kr428:
Folks; I'm carefully inspecting buying a Kindle 8(?) tablet, looking for an "inexpensive" device to run cm on. Is cm12.1 (or even a latter variant) available for the *current* generation of Kindle 8.9 devices? Which device to get if I want to have this system successfully installed?

TIA,

K.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Jabbernaut:
Yeah, mirrors came back up when I checked the next day, my bad, I thought it hit page rot or something. False alarm.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Current (4th gen) HDX devices can sometimes be rooted (depends on FireOS build) but not unlocked. No custom ROMs available. You'll need to go with a 3rd gen device all of which can be sucessfully unlocked. That opens the door to the full suite of custom ROMs including KitKat, Lollipop and Marshmallow variants.

From a hardware perspective there is little difference between 3rd and 4th gen devices. Cost, warranty, customizability and battery age (non-replaceable) are the primary considerations IMHO.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] kr428:
Ok, thanks for your explanation. So I'll see whether I can find an older variant of this device. I'm looking mainly for a playground / minimal "working" device for kids where I neither want to spend money on buying high-end hardware nor want to have *all* the Google stuff on, that's why I am looking into an "inexpensive" solution to run CM. Let's see how far this gets me. :)

Thanks,

K.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Also consider a 5th gen Fire which retails for $50 USD (new) and often can be had for <$30 USD from Amazon Warehouse. Runs CM 12.1 like a champ. You will sacrifice screen size/resolution which is most noticeable with text based apps/pages; less so with games and many types of video playback. You'll gain SD card and OTG support which could be a deal breaker on HDX which does not offer either. Obviously age/needs/expectations of intended users (kids) comes into play. Good luck.

Hey guys,,

I tried updating after the tablet told me there was a new update avaible (18th November), after download it booted into TWRP and then rebootet. Now I am kinda stuck at the loading Screen (blue cyanogenmod face) going on and on until the battery is depleted.

Shut it down and tried to get into recovery mode to use a older, working backup, but it doesnt load into recovery (power and volume up at kindle fire Screen, wasnt it?).

This whole thing is kinda learning by doing for me, so I guess this was some simple user error
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
- daily updates are not available for this rom; ignore in the future

- you will need to reload last stable build posted in OP

- power down device (long press power button if needed)

- boot into TWRP using <power>+<vol-up>

- transfer rom zip to device via usb tether

- recommend wiping system partition; leave data alone

- reflash CM from install menu
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] claywd:
I can't get this thing to finish booting.

I wiped the system/data/dalvik/cache

flashed the .zip

reboot

and it is just stuck at the boot logo.

I did go through the procedure to unlock the bootloader though and it said it was unlocked on the fastboot screen but it doesn't seem to matter. Suggestions?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] yigal66:
Be sure that you are on the latest TWRP. I had similar problem when tried to install this rom from 2.8.4.0. Just updated TWRP to 3.0.0 and everything working perfect.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Cl4ncy:
Actually it is currently NOT recommended to use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0 due to certain issues. Use either 2.8.7.0 or 3.0.0-1. ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] claywd:
Interesting, maybe that's the problem then because I'm on the very latest. I'll flash the other when I get back home tonight.

Thank you both (1 up)!

Sorry for asking, but mean "Bluetooth, GPS and LTE need to be debugged" that Bluetooth, GPS and LTE are not working atm? I've just received my refurbished Fire HDX 7 and searching for a ROM.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Full BT, GPS and/or LTE functionality are only available in KitKat (Android 4) based ROMs including CM 11, Fire Nexus and FireOS v4. Simple BT is semi functional in Fire Nexus 6.x (Marshmallow). It is unlikely the situation will substantially improve in the near future. Other observations:

- LTE only works well w/FireOS

- GPS receiver in this device sucks (sorry - best descriptor) and can not be depended upon for navigation
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] bergkuh:
Thank you for your reply and clarification. I've unlocked my Bootloader but will start with CM11 and will watch the CM13 development.

Hey. Is there any way to update the widevine libs? Need this to download stuff in netflix app :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Unlikely given this ROM is no longer receiving updates. LinOS 14.1 is the only actively supported custom ROM for HDX devices. I'm hoping the developers will be able to extend the support envelope to AOSP Nexus 6 which has better bluetooth support and can also run Xposed framework but that's a long shot given limited resources. Not sure if LinOS has the latest widevine libs as I do not have it installed on any devices at present. The recommended but near useless DRM info app does not show which version/build is installed.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] M-A-X:
Ok. Thats sad though, as CM12.1 runs smooth and flawless on my Thor. I'm worried that cm14 will have lags as The hdx Thor Hardware is kinda old :(
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Absolutely not - LinOS is less demanding than CM 12.1. However, it lacks full support for Bluetooth and Xposed (not yet available for Android 7) which are personal prerequisites. Thus CM 12.1 is also my daily driver but I have tested LinOS 14.1 extensively on this device and found it to be wonderfully smooth and power efficient. Google made a big effort to reduce Android's footprint to better accommodate entry level devices in emerging markets. Lollipop is a relative pig compared to Nougat (although the former can be trimmed down).

Worked great on an HDX 16GB LTE upgrading from cm11 to cm12 and to confirm:

LTE is as known not working - told me a SIM wasn't installed when it is btw

BT working as described

Wifi working as described

Volume steps seem better than cm11 - don't use much sound though!

Used minimal gapps which is much better than the lot I applied before

Not tested GPS

In general seems very smooth compared to cm11 which tbh was pretty smooth anyway!

Actually, to correct this, it does recognise I have a SIM card installed now, if I remove it I have the no SIM icon in my notification bar in the top right. So it's really just when I go into settings to search for a mobile network it throws an error.

Not sure this helps, just thought I'd clarify that it recognises a SIM is installed ;)
