Did you do a backup of stock slot before flashing nexus ROM into stock? By nexus 7 you mean Nexus for safestrap 1.0.1, right? If you do have a backup of stock 3.2.8, than of course you can reflash it back to stock, then switch to slot 1 and flash nexus for safestrap into slot 1, etc.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] upshot:
Yes, the Nexus for Safestrap. Great ROM.

Yeah....no, I didn't do a back up of 3.2.8.

Been rooting android phones for several years, I feel like such a noob.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] upshot:
Ok, for anyone still interested...

Turns out I had flashed the Nexus 2.0.2 Rom not the Safestrap 1.0.1

Everything worked fine except the Amazon Kindle app.

it would sync, but wouldn't display any of my books in the carousel, and

Amazon's site didn't recognize it as a valid device. No matter how many times

I would deregister, uninstall, reinstall...I got nothing from the Kindle app.

It was starting to bug me, a lot.

Just as I was about to wipe the tablet and re-flash the ROM, I realized

my mistake with the ROM version. So I got the correct version,

opened slot 1, flashed the 1.0.1 ROM into slot 1. It worked perfectly.

The Kindle app worked the way it's supposed to.

I then wiped the Stock slot and flashed the 1.0.1 into it.

Same results. Everything worked like it should.

I went back and deleted Slot 1, rebooted into the Stock slot

and it's all good. I now have a fantastic Nexus HDX tablet.

My question is then, Why didn't my initial mistake brick my tablet?

Are the ROMs similar enough that it slipped by with just the one problem?

I'm not sure I want to experiment with CM 12 or anything like that, but it

makes me wonder. And I'm going to check my serial number again to see

if I really do have a locked bootloader.

Thanks for reading,

upshot
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] EncryptedCurse:
Your serial number has nothing to do with whether you unlock your bootloader.

Since you're on 13.3.2.8, there's no way to rollback any further to a firmware with the signature exploit present.

Don't bother trying CM11 or CM12, or else you'll end up with a bricked tablet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jeryll:
If you flashed Nexus 2.0.2 from this post then everything works as it should, Nexus 2.0.2 is designed to run with Safestrap...

And if you are on 3.2.8, then don't even try to flash CM12, that will not work with Safestrap and you will brick your device (for CM12 you need TWRP 2.8.5.0 and/or unlocked BL) ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] upshot:
thanks for the input. I'm happy with the Nexus 1.0.1 ROM. It does everything I want it to do.

And, I didn't brick my HDX in the process. ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] H3rrPie:
Just out of interest, how did you root 3.2.8? I downgraded from 4.5.3 and back up to 4.5.2 for safestrap, rooted but got hit by the black screen when booting into recovery. I tried going back down to 3.2.8 but couldn't figure out how to root it.

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Towelroot works for 3.2.8 and below.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] H3rrPie:
Awesome, thanks for the input. I'll give it a shot later as I've had enough of staring at it. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] H3rrPie:
Success! I went through the process last night and I'm now running Safestrap and HDX Nexus v1.0.1.

Here's the steps I took for anyone else interested:

Went from 4.5.3 down to 3.2.8 using the instructions located here.

Downloaded Towelroot straight from the website, installed it on the Fire HDX Thor using ES File Explorer.

I then went and installed Safestrap located here and partitioned a new rom slot.

I then installed HDX Nexus v1.0.1 located here and booted it up... Success! Runs like a champ. I've come from a Nexus 7 (2012) so the speed is a great improvement over it.

Thanks for the advice about using Towelroot on 3.2.8. Much appreciated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanderr89:
Hey

I am very new to android ( ie 3 days ) and have already almost bricked my phone a few times, so be gentle with me!

I will give you the entire story so you have as much info as possible/know what i am trying to do. I bought myself a new moto g recently (xt 1072) and wanted to root the phone, managed it in the end, but then (stupidly) wiped my phone OS. Luckily this was after having installed TWRP. Anyhu I saw this as a great opportunity to install a custom rom., step in CM12, or not, every time i tried to flash from the zip on my sd it would just fail. So I thought screw it and installed the titan prime ROM which worked like a charm. I later found out that to install cm12 you have to update your bootloader. I downloaded the updated bootloader for an xt 1063 ( which is pretty much identical to the 1072 apart form the battery. Same specs, etc.) but every time I tried to flash with fastboot this would come up:

C:\platform-tools>fastboot flash bootloader motoboot.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'bootloader' (2184 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.110s]

writing 'bootloader'...

(bootloader) Permission denied

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.141s

And yes im 100% sure its unlocked as i have full root access/ the unlocked bootloader warning on startup ( which i have now changed to the stock motorla load + a custom animation)

So i decided to stick with titan as it seems ample, that was until my phone suddenly decided to stop rotating properly, ie every time i rotate the phone landscape the screen is upside down. (any solutions on this as i browsed google for hours to no avail?) I read one thing about updating the kernal, tried that and it almost bricked my phone and it took me about 15 mins to get into recovery mode and restore. So i decided against that and thought maybe i should just try to get CM12 working again but as mentioned above I'm stuck trying to update the bootloader.

If i can sort the screen rotation issues without having to install a different ROM, as it is now set-up the way I want, that would be ideal but I haven't found anything as yet.

Any help would be amazing guys/gals.

Cheers
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prathameshsd:
Why are you flashing XT1063's bootloader onto to your XT1072?? Both having same specs doesnt mean that you can flash it. You might end up hardbricking your device.

FYI, You dont need to update your bootloader in order to install CM12. Just install the CM12 zip via TWRP, Flash GApps, Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache and reboot.

If you wish to stay on Titan Prime, update the Titan Prime to the latest build (UNIFIED Version), boot into TWRP > Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Go to Advanced > Fix Permissions and reboot.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanderr89:
As far as i am aware cm12 (as stated in this thread) doesnt work on bootloader 4.4. I tried installing cm12, as mentioned via the zip in TWRP and it kept failing/throwing up and error and i know i am doing it correctly as titan worked first time.

The main issue here is the screen rotation issue though, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it, its rather irritating having to constantly lock and unlock my screen when watching things.

cheers

[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] jpower73:
With this simple trick, you can get (interpolated) photos using any photo application (free or paid) at 21,6mp or any other "more than high" analysis.

1. Install S5 rom

2. Install any photo capture apk (i prefer lgcamera 7.0)

3. Set resolution to 21,6mp or any other high indication, ex. 20,3mp etc, according to your needs.

4. Backup the installed photo capture application (with data) using titanium backup..

..

5. Install any rom you like.

6. Restore, from titanium backup, the previously archived photo capture application.

7. Voila, you have 21,6mp!!!

Caution: do not change photo capture resolution. There's no 21,6 mpixels indication to select.

So, it will be lost..

In case you do it, by mistake, just re-restore the apk from titanium......

Using this trick you can get the most out of your camera.

I know, it is interpolated. But i get the best pictures by far...

I followed the instructions in the "Official Unlock Bootloader LG%..."

But, when I enter the combo - 3845#*880#, I immediately receive a dialog window that states

"Connection Problem or Invalid MMI code"

To make matters worse, I installed TWRP Manager from Google Play and attempted to use that interface to boot to: Recovery and Bootloader.

Neither worked.

I have done the following:

1. Rooted and checked via Root Checker

2. Downloaded the LG Support tool to make sure that I have the updated drivers.

3. USB Debugging is enabled

4. Attempted to use: adb reboot recovery (reboots my phone, LG screen comes up, Metro screen comes up, back to home Screen)

5. Attempted to use: adb reboot oem-unlock (same as # 4)

6. After #4 and #5, I then tried to enter the combo to check the status of the bootloader - 3845#*880#. That is when i get the darn error message.

7. I have contacted LG, but am awaiting a response....
