[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Phweak:
Thank you, user error #101, before I was wondering how I actually GOT the 5.0 update to install, realized I kept downloading the amazon apps sdk.......anyways, so in trying to install the 4.5.3 update, I keep getting "failed to read" errors part way through 'serving' the update. Thought it might be a physical issue, so i swapped cables, got it to 58% one time before it error'ed out. Now when I try to factory reset, I just get a boot cycle. Think its bricked? or is there some issue I might have overlooked why it keeps cutting out mid transfer of the .bin file? I can still get it to listen for an update through ADB, but i've yet to get it past 58. It errors out in different spots too...22%, 45%, 5%, 6%...etc.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
This error usualy occurs when bin file is not in folder where you opened CMD window and gave sideload command. But if that was case it should have returned error immediately. Maybe file was corrupted. Look through this thread and check troubleshooting forum about it, but if the OS actually got only partially installed I wouldn't expect it to boot (aka brick).

Maybe [MENTION=4469251]powerpoint45[/MENTION] or someone else knows more. If not, Amazon is good about replacement if you're still under warranty.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] theGekkoST:
So I got the developer preview pushed to my device and now it is stuck at the "fire" loading screen. I've let it sit for hours and it will never progress from that screen. I've just tried the normal stuff like holding the volume up key while booting and wiping the cache and wiping data/factory reset.

I had the device at 4.5.4 before the attempted upgrade and never had the device rooted. It was still very stock before this happened.

*UPDATE* after I selected the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and let it load for 10 min. it started just fine.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Phweak:
You're the man! I hate when I just don't double check stuff. The 4.5.3 is ~780MB, my copy was 143MB lol. I apparently never finished that download....

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

And now I'm golden. Like a shower. Thank you so much! Time to do this on 3 other ones for the kids now haha.

Edit: So can you upgrade back to 5.0 and still keep root and Gapps? I liked the lollipop interface.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Yep! For step-by-step, use my guide starting at part B (you just did A), or use bibikalka's guide for less detail.

EDIT: [MENTION=5792778]Phweak[/MENTION], if you already installed Gapps, use bibikalka's guide.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] theGekkoST:
I installed the GAAPS with the JmzFireHDTool and the Play services work, but I cannot use some Google apps like Drive and Keep without updating the Play Service. However when I try to update the Google Play Service it gives me an error saying there is Insufficient Storage Available. I've tried looking around and can't seem to find out how to update the service on the Fire HD. Anyone have any ideas?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] strester:
If your downloads folder is still full of files used for rooting, that could be the culprit. Should have copies of your files on a computer so delete from tablet and try updating Play Service again. I vaguely remember similar scenario and that worked for me. Good luck! [emoji4]

Fire HD 7 ( 4th Gen) with OS 4.5.5 - can I root my tab with this as described in page 1?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] prostar:
A word of warning!

I upgraded my Fire HD6 running 4.5.4 to the dev preview, then downgraded to 4.5.3 using the .bin from the links provided. I the did a reboot and was running 4.5.3. I locked the otaverifier as per the next step, and installed Kingroot. When attempting to root, it reported "Network Error". It seems like a common problem, maybe the server is blocked from my current network. As far as I could tell, it didn't even try to root yet.

I went on to play with the system a bit, saw there was an update pending, but didn't care as I had blocked the otaverifier. Figured I would just try it again from a different network later, and went to lunch. It is now super hard bricked. No signs of life other than the constant "MT65xx preloader" being added and removed in devmanager.

So, my best estimate is that Kingroot did put something in the boot process, but wasn't able to root, so it is now stuck in a boot loop.

If you get to the KingRoot step and it doesn't work, do not let the device idle!

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] emanuensis:
failed after step 6...

i am similar to what [MENTION=7070713]senorrojo1[/MENTION] said: i am stuck after step 6. After i "apply update from ADB" on the HD6 and "adb sideload fireos_453.bin" from the Win7 box it takes a looooong time, then comes back and says on HD6:

"timed out waiting for package

Installation aborted"

and on the win7:

"error: device '(null)' not found"

EDIT, ADDITIONAL: i think i did everything right

1 i started out with the virgin HD6 in 4.1.1 and installed 5.0.1 from Amazons Dev site

2 enabled ADB on a Win7 box, got "ADB device" results with HD6 USB connected

3 got fireos_453.bin from Amazon's website

4 a USB connection i did "ADB reboot recovery" om (newly booted) W7 got reboot menu on HD6

5 on HD6 navigated to "Apply update from ADB" and pressed power

6 did "adb sideload update-fireos_453.bin"... after long time it failed ... both devices reported Null connect.

first got (after ~90sec)

"error: device '(null)' not found"

on W7, with return to promt, (subsequent "sideload" cmds same but just a few seconds) then, much later

"timed out waiting for package

Installation aborted"

on HD6

SHOULD I

"wipe cache partition"

or

"wipe data/factory reset"

on HD6???
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] emanuensis:
no change after update

The system insisted on installing new software so i had to acquiesce in this. Fortunately it is still at sys 5.0,1. But still it refuses to "apply update from ADB".

EDIT Add:

Sigh

"wipe data/factory reset"

left it a sys 5.0.1 and it still refused to accept a new system by sideload :(

help!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Sounds like it's not finding the update.bin file. In Windows, try opening the CMD window in the folder where update.bin is. If you can't use adb commands from there, open CMD window wherever you usually do and type:

adb sideload <--type a space here

. . . then drag and drop the update.bin file into the CMD window.

This will insert the full-path name to the file, in quotes. When you're not running CMD from folder that contains the file, you need this:

C:\WhereYouAre>adb sideload "path_to\bin_file\Update_filename.bin"
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] emanuensis:
same

Thanks. Everything is in the same directory to guard against any problem with file names. But i did as you suggested ... still no sideload :: - ((
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Just reread your original post. Did you install drivers for sideload mode? Once you choose "Apply update from ADB" and press power, you're in sideload mode and need to install (update) drivers in Device Manager. While in sideload mode you should be able to enter "adb devices" command and get:

deviceID# sideload
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] emanuensis:
sideloading!

Ahhh! It looks like one must persist in applying repeatedly the update inf file for the USB driver! Seems to be side loading now. Thanks!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] RoobWhite21:
when i type in adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin it says cannot read adb sideload update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin so i had to reboot to fire os 5.0.1
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] The Wizus:
What message do you sée on jour tablet
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] The Wizus:
If it can't read the file then it's probably bad, try redownloading it
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
You need to put the update bin the same directory as adb.exe. Or, issue the command from adb.exe dir and give the full path (in quotes ") to the sideload bin.

Just grab any FireOS 5.x , it's been now released for a while :D If you never had it, go for an early version (but not if you have FireOS 4.5.5.1).

The original preview :

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] n3roxda333:
ah okay. but whats to do to install the adb?

1. install drivers

2. set device to use adb

3. install adb pakage (?????)

4. reboot in recovery

5. run "adb recovery *.bin" (Version 5.1.1)

i dont need the dev preveiw to downgrade, right?

at the moment my tab runns on 5.3.1.0
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrthtung:
it doesn't work in 5.3.1 :(
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
which part. Although you don't need to install dev preview. If you have a lollypop ROM you should be able to get into recovery still and install ROM from sideload mode.

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] nabril15:
I ask the same. I'm on 5.3.1 and I couldn't root with 5.1.2. I want to be able to sideload so I can go back to 4.5.3 and start all over; at the moment, my recovery menu only has 2 options (reboot and factory reset).

The 5.3.1.1 update got downloaded and awaits installation. Does having an update waiting impede kingroot? I tried to root 5.1.2 but it didn't work, and I wonder if was caused by the waiting update to 5.3.1

Help please.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
I'm having this same issue. Fire has been sitting in a drawer for a few years, I grab it to use it for my kids and there is not recovery for some weird reason. My research has led me to this, so this is what I'm going to do.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] nabril15:
Before you follow that thread, which is intense, try to reboot to recovery on your current OS. Use the adb reboot recovery command, and you should see the sideload through ADB option. I did. I then flashed 4.5.3, rebooted to setup (no wifi). Then, from adb in your laptop, adb install Kingroot and the JMZ Tools so that you can disable OTA. Disable OTA (pm block com.amazon.otaverifier), and let Kingroot install root with wifi enabled. Once root works, adb install Flashify to install the twrp image that you will copy to the device. Reboot to recovery, and flash supersu.zip.

Follow the steps from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950

boot into TWRP, and, in a single session (!!!!!)

(Optional) clear cache/dalvik (to shrink the backup size), run TWRP backup to a USB drive via USBOTG cable for your /data partition

(Optional) do factory reset (can skip if you already have Lollipop),

flash the latest FireOS from this official Amazon link (rename *bin to *zip such that TWRP can recognize it):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201596850

If for some reason you need a different FireOS version, grab the file you need from the links in this post.

flash 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip below. If you kept track of your prior FireOS versions and know what you are doing, you can flash

5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip from post #2 (this will flash 5.2.0 stock recovery & 5.4.1 bootloaders). Note that if you downgraded from FireOS 5.3.1 to 4.5.3 to root, you must flash 5.5.2_1534_stock_recovery_uboot.zip instead, this will put the required 5.3.1 bootloaders back.

flash the attached make_space_v02.zip (this will remove moffice and weather to make room in /system for GAPPS , can always install this stuff from Play Store)

flash Supersu.zip https://download.chainfire.eu/696/Su...erSU-v2.46.zip

flash Xposed for Lollipop 5.1 (if you want it for misc modules, highly recommended to do this just in case)

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=3034811

(version xposed-vXX-sdk22-arm.zip )

flash Pico (Uni) GAPPS for 5.1 :

http://xdaforums.com/andr...gapps-t3116347

clear cache/dalvik in TWRP

Another reminder: If you are absolutely sure that you have never run FireOS 4.5.5.1 bootloaders or Lollipop with anything but 5.2.0 bootloaders, you can flash 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip from post #2 here, this way you preserve the well behaved 5.2.0 bootloaders. If you are not sure about any of this, don't do it !!!

2) reboot to recovery, you should see stock 5.2.0 recovery
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
adb reboot recovery, fastboot and bootloader all result in either a reboot, or just a black screen. Seems somehow my recovery partition got hosed.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] nabril15:
did you install any of the 5.x boot images (1134 particularly) as stated in that thread?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
I don't recall what I did. This was years ago. Its rooted on Fire 5.1, and had TWRP on it at one point.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
This is the version I'm on. Guess it hasn't been many years after all and it looks like I've disabled Ota's as it won check for updates
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Big2hd:
Finally got root or should say had lol(must of not block updates properly cause now I got 5.6) , followed this tutorial until around step 8(needed a file manager to do it so connected to internet to dl es explorer, be FAST!!! about it or you'll brick your device like I did lol) but after that easy stuff.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wii123:
Hello

I bought s6 920 two weeks ago but yesterday i realized something wired

in pro mode when i change the iso to something higher than auto or 100

so the screen is flickering and it have color lines the image is attachted

now today in pro mode i have something similar with softer lines and white lines not with color but when i take a picture or screen shot the screen with the phone its not show those lines

Now it happens only when it daylight or a bright background

when i take a picture at dark or at less light it doesnt show this light or capture them in the photo

if i shot at auto iso or 100 it doesnt show these lines on the screen only at something highwr especially at 800.

Is it normal?

Can someone check it with his s6 pls?

I dont understand nothing on iso at all but maybe at daylight on higher iso its normal that its flicker

Thanks

Hi,

Before asking this basic question on a very popular development friendly device, I would suggest you visit the N6 section, here...

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6

The General section has a Roll up Index thread which likely has the help you need, and there are other great guides and tutorials in the General and Q&A sections.

If you get stuck after doing your homework....you can ask for help in the Nexus 6 Q&A section. This hobby takes a LOT o reading. You will find it tough to get help if you don't read read read first. Especially with a Nexus device, where there is lots of info here for those. Also, the more you know, the less likely you will run into troubles with your device. ;)

Good luck!! And I will close this thread.

[General Questions and Answers] hedup34:
Hello everyone! I was sincerely hoping that someone would be able to help. I believe I messed up my phone beyond repair by trying to root it for the 2nd time. I rooted my phone in Sept 2014 and accidentally dropped it and broke the LCD (not the actual screen, but a piece inside of the phone). Samsung replaced the screen but they had to reset it so I lost the root. I wanted to try to root it again today. I already had all the tools; Odin, Superuser, and Philz Recovery. I put the phone into download mode, flashed Philz, and Odin said "Passed". When I put the phone into recovery mode, it didn't look like it did before. It just looked like the android stock recovery. I assumed (noob) that I may have done something wrong. So I tried flashing it again and it failed and was stuck in the download mode (Do not turn Target off). I waited approx 30 min and just said, "Screw it" and pulled the battery. I know stupid. Then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message..." I did some research and many people on here and other android forums were telling others with somewhat of the same problem to download the stock rom. I'm currently downloading it but am worried it's going to do the same thing; "fail". I will update as soon as I try to flash the stock rom, but if anyone has other options, I'd so appreciate them.

Thanks so much for helping.....
