Install Open GAPPs without Safestrap or root access

Hi,

I got CM-11 for Amazon Fire Phone running, but my installation is so quirky that I got it without open gapps or safestrap. Installing the software via apks leaves me with a play store which only brings up an error (rh-01). All tips I could find (deleting account and reboot) how to cope with that error also did not work for me. Moreover google play services is also closed every now and then. And most importantIy I can not get safestrap installed.

Background info:

After using CM-11 on fire phone for about a year now I decided to take a look at the original firmware again. I made a backup of my CM-11 installation and recovered my old fire phone installation. After updating the original software to version 4.6.6.1 and very soon decided to switch back to CM-11 for amazon fire phone again.

During the update process safestrap/twrp had been replaced by amazon bootloader and I had use Kingroot to install safestrap again. So I rebooted into twrp/safestrap and wanted to do a recovery of my just saved CM-11 installation. Though the MD5-checks worked out, the recovery aborted with failure. I wiped almost everything clean but still it didn't work. Also reinstalling the old recovery of the stock firmware did not work. Rebooting only brought up the "fire"-logo and I don't know what I did anymore :angel: but safestrap also showed "disabled" at bootup next time. All that worked was to press "ON+VOL+"-button to get to the amazon-bootloader and sideload via adb "CM-11 for fire phone" via the lastest zip-file.

One problem is now that I can not install open gapps via sideload (I get a "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" message). I also tried to install so-called open gapps that are "signed" but they were also not accepted by adb sideload (is skipping that check in sideload is possible?). Another problem is that kingroot does not get root access in cm11 so I can not install safestrap now.

Perhaps somebody here could help me here how to install safestrap/open gapps again?

I would think you should be able to

1- boot to this twrp image below but I'm not sure.

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/twrp-recovery-t3242548

I Use "minimal adb and fasboot" for easy command line access from PC.

There is a clean system image file that is supposed to be flashed for factory reset if you look at OP that may help under "other downloads".

2-Do a factory reset, install latest CM11 build, OpenGapps 4.4 Pico, and latest SuperSu.

3-Reboot

4-Once in CM11 be sure to reinstall Safestrap recovery.

If you have trouble with GApps but can get CM11 running with root, you can try flashfire to flash GApps. If you're unfamiliar with it, it essentially let's you set what you would like to do in recovery, then boots to a makeshift recovery and flashes it.

Help. My fire phones shows battery percentage random, sometimes 13% and after 2-3 minutes 16%, fire os 4.6.6.1 . On cm11 by ggow the fire phone charge faster than on original fire os? Snapchat works fine? HDR,OIS works? What about battery life? I want to get on cm11 because the fire os is full of bloatware. We can customize the notification area like native lollipop, touchwiz etc? The on-touch buttons can be changed i want to set home button the phisycal button and in screen to be just the back and more apps button? Home button works? Sorry but i want to know, i can't read all 325 pages on this forum. Wi-fi and 4G/3G signal is better than original OS?

Hi gorilla p

Thanks for the quick reply. But I am not sure so about installing an image of a fire tablet on my fire phone if you're not really sure.

How do I get the phone to "fastboot"-mode so I can boot to that twrp image in the first place? I got no root access!

Could I instead install the original stock firmware again just to get root access with kingroot (which worked for me the first time) and install safestrap under this OS, reboot, wipe and then install the latest CM11 build, Gapps and latest SuperSu.

How would I do this?

1) Factory reset

2) Install some "update-fire-phone.....bin". With "adb sideload ... "or fastboot?

Problem was with adb sideload that the phone rebooted after the uploading of a zip-file was complete. So no chance there to install OpenGapps etc. before reboot.

If you can get stock OS installed and root with KingRoot, then you should be OK

Once rooted, install Safestrap from installer shown here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3149888

I notice you kept mentioning "Sideload". I've been doing this for about 5-10 years and have never needed/wanted to use the Sideload command in recovery.

Anything I've ever needed to flash in recovery was done via install tab.

Make sure you have all the files you need saved on your device in one folder

Latest CM11 ROM, latest SuperSU, latest Open GApps Pico, clean system image zip from OP

Once that is done, if you can get to Safestrap recovery,

Factory reset, flash/install the factory reset zip BUT DONT REBOOT

Just go back to initial menu

Then just start flashing away

Install CM11, GApps, SuperSu

Reboot to system

Things should be OK from there.

If not..

You will need the OS installed to enable USB debugging

Info here for setting up fastboot for your device

https://developer.amazon.com/public...g the Fire Phone to Your Development Computer

Use minimal ADB and Fastboot instead of having to install whole Android SDK stuff

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Essentially (not literally) your device has a hard drive and its partitioned into multiple sections. Each section is just for one thing. Typically it is like this...

Bootloader/Recovery/System/Radio

Opening the fastboot app in the minimal ADB fastboot folder will allow an interface to your device as long as USB debugging is allowed and the drivers are installed on your PC

Save the .IMG or .zip files to the minimal adv fastboot folder so you wont have to enter the file path for every command

Be sure to read this as well (it is in OP of minimal ADB and fastboot thread) it is the basics of fastboot

[Amazon Fire Phone] CodeeJak:
Thanks again gorilla p!

As you noticed I kept mentioning "sideload" because it's the only option (other than deleting data/cache oder reboot) that the fire recovery system offers (this is the recovery systems that comes up when I press ON+VOL+-button during bootup - see attached file "Fire_System_Recovery.jpg"). When I choose "apply update from ADB" I get can only adb sideload zip-files (see image "adb_sideload.jpg"). Nothing else is accepted.

So how do I get to "install tab"? I can not get to Safestrap recovery, because can't install it in the bootloader again because I don't have root access in CM11. Kingroot did not work under CM11 (only under stock firmware). Is there any other way to gain root rights in CM11?

If not and I understood you correctly I will have to use PC-fastboot to install firmware on the phone. But how do I get my fire phone in fastboot mode?

Greetings,

CodeeJak
[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
OK, I see what you're saying. I've always had TWRP recovery (Nexus user) and almost forgot what that screen looked like.

The one link that I included showed you how to enable ADB/fastboot.

Go to developer settings and enable Android DeBugging. If that's not done, no rooting tool will work.

However, be sure to try Kingoroot rather than kingroot

https://www.kingoapp.com

If you can get root there, download and install Safestrap APK, reboot to Safestrap and install latest SuperSU.

If you cant get root this way, Connect to PC and start process of confirming fastboot is enabled/working.

You will probably need to go back to stock and start over as I'm not seeing a recovery. IMG available but haven't looked a lot.

If you can find one for this device, you could boot to the IMG on saved in your minimal ADB and fastboot folder.

I.e. " fastboot boot temprecovery.IMG"

Your phone should then boot to a full recovery version that cant be flashed at this point, but can only be temporarily booted to via fastboot.

Then factory reset, flash clean system zip, flash ROM, flash GApps, flash supersu

[Amazon Fire Phone] jokergermany:
Ok, the Problem is, that the phone only charge, when it's powered off.

This can't be a hardware problem, or?
[Amazon Fire Phone] CodeeJak:
Hi gorilla p,

by trying PC-Version of "Kingo root" (the app did not work under CM11) I finally got root access. Then I could install Safestrap/TWRP recovery. Then I followed your instructions and did a factory reset and installed CM11, Open Gapps and SuperSU. In the end setting up the apps and accounts went faster than I thought.

So thanks again!

Awesome, I'm glad you were able to get it working.

In my experience, Kingoroot works much better than Kingroot and unfortunately they get mixed up a lot.

[Amazon Fire Phone] killer_whale:
Some of my personal experience.

After almost a year of using CM-11 by ggow (huge thanks for making it possible) I had to return to stock firmware+play store installed.

The reason: I can't use smartphone without properly working camera (any of suggested application didn't produce good results with the flash and in many cases even without it), camera was not working in skype etc. Inability to scan barcodes was driving me mad :) (I don't like using workarounds like making photos of the barcode first - it's 21st century...)

[Amazon Fire Phone] xwin01:
I am not sure what part of the battery life you are not happy with

I use latest CM11 image and it uses about 10% of the battery per day so I can go for about 4 days between 80% and 40%. I only use music player for about 1 hour a day and pedometer app for about 1 hour. Also I put the phone in to the airplane mode at night since I don't want any calls at night. I would say the battery life is as good as original ROM or better. There is no Amazon junk on the phone to use battery so it should be better.

AOSP ROMs are generally better optimized. Especially after 4.4. With 4.4, use ART runtime if at all possible as I'm not sure how good the dalvik optimization is.

I also don't know if any of the common dalvik patches work with this device/ROM.
[Amazon Fire Phone] ozan2:
HEBF OPTIMIZER doesn't works and underclock the freq. Somebody knows some apps which works with fire phone? Greenify i don t need because i don t have just what's app, instagram, snapchat, clash of clans

[Amazon Fire Phone] gorilla p:
I'm not sure what you're asking, however Greenify can be useful.

You will also probably want to use something like Kernel Adiutor to adjust kernel settings.

This device has more than enough performance for common everyday use (browsing, calls, text, Facebook, maps, etc).

I set this device up for 3 people who use it for common usage and scaled back the performance pretty significantly to improve battery life and there has been no performance issues. Touchboost makes conservative governor a viable option.

I have used the fire phone with ggow's cm11 about a month now and what I can tell you is that, it's very stable. the only bug I got is the speaker is low during phone calls on speaker but fixed that with bluetooth. The only other bugs are the one OP listed on the first page. Hope this helps you to decide.
[Amazon Fire Phone] LilLowEK:
Thank you for the reply, but unfortunately it wasn't related to try question. I've been running cm11 for a very long time, but my second fire phone I left stock with Google play side loaded. Unfortunately the play store quit working recently, I believe a Google update was pushed through.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Skeeterdrums:
Potentially, that's what could've done it. I believe I read somewhere that sideloading play store onto the original OS is neither supported nor stable, so I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually stopped working. Highly recommend you install either AOSP or CM11 instead if you need apps from the play store.

Note for ggow: just enabled encryption. Just another confirmation that it seems to work without any issues :)

I've had CM11 on my other Fire Phone for ages, I just use my other stock Fire Phone as a backup. I was able to revive the playstore by the details in this post in another thread, linked below.

[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
[MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] can you give a brief description of camera HAL wrapper? I know its a wip but is this meant to bring compatibility to Snapchat and other apps that use the camera?
[Amazon Fire Phone] ggow:
The camera wrapper is an effort to fix the some of the issues with the camera. At the moment it's a skeletal implementation which compiles to become a new camera.msm8974.so. The amazon provided camera.msm8974.so is renamed to camera.vendor.msm8974 which the new camera wrapper loads.

In the wrapper I can override functionality. I have started reverse engineering amazon's camera HAL but there is still a long way to go.

Just another avenue I am investigating. I have introduced it now so any problems along the way can be identified and ironed out in bite size chunks.

As I understand it, if you want to use Firefly then you have to use FireOS as it's integral to that.

A while back I tried to deodex the framework and apps from FireOS, but it turns out amazon deviated away from the .dex format which aosp uses so we can't deodex the crappy FireOS ROM without spending significant time reverse engineering.
