[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Probably shouldn't have said to read it first. :D Yes, you're running so-called 5.2.2u2 and unpack=unzip/extract. dd does a byte-by-byte copy. I think it's commonly used to replace partition data, which is what it does here. Bibikalka could explain more authoritatively.

However, I've done some testing and find that a factory reset will in fact reset the google accounts. (It didn't the last time I tried, but that was on a different OS and dif version of Gapps.) After a factory reset you must allow USB debugging and reinstall superSU app from adb ("adb install -r filename.apk"). Alternatively, you could uninstall/reinstall some of the Google system apps, although that's as much a hassle as anything.

I mention these options because there's a chance you'll get an insufficient space error in TWRP when reinstalling Gapps and have to do some uninstalls anyway. Why don't you pm me if you want more info?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] howzitnow:
I sent a PM but got logged off before it got sent. I re-typed it up and sent it again but it's not showing in my sent message either. I don't want to be the psycho that keeps sending stuff if you indeed did receive them. If you didn't, I am apparently a complete failure at the PM system:silly:

So, third try here...

Gonna go with plan A which is resetting. Plan B will be uninstalling google system apps, which I assume I can get thru the play store and add them back as regular apps.

I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks for all your time
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] howzitnow:
Ok, that was incredible painless, except rebooting after reset took f-o-r-e-v-e-r and I was starting to panic.

All google account were deleted!

I re-did supersu.

Do I need to redo any of this from the tutorial?

"Block OTA:

a. In the terminal/CMD window, enter these commands granting root access on tablet after the su command:

adb shell

su

pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier

pm enable com.amazon.dcp"?

I appreciate all your help!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Oh, good! (yeah, the reboot takes even longer than during the original install; I worried a bit myself!)

To be on the safe side, run SuperSU if you haven't (although It won't update binaries this time). Do disable otaverifier. When you run "su" you'll see # prompt and confirm root. Install ES file explorer, enable root explorer and look at /system/priv-apps/DeviceSoftwareOTA and confirm extension is still "bak_" That seems to survive the reset.

Nice work!

I'm slowly learning...I knew enough to make sure devicesoftwareota was still renamed. There is nothing more beautiful than an #:victory:

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] -lukin-:
thanks DoLooper. perfect OP
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] k2trf:
Worked just about 100% on my new Fire HD 6 2014. Excellent post, very clear! Haven't gotten superuser to work yet (I much prefer it to supersu), and the Silk Browser is proving an absolute pain to get rid of for Chrome, but that's not covered in the guide, and is just extra hurdles I want to jump. :)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Glad the guide helped you! I assume you've tried disabling com.amazon.cloud9. That's the Silk Browser.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] k2trf:
That's actually where I went next. Figured out that one was Silk, so my first instinct was to pm disable it. Then I realized I should actually move it from /system/priv-app/ to /data/app/; after a reboot I could uninstall it, as /data/app isn't protected. Plus I've freed up some /system space for apps I do want to be locked and survive factory resets (like Cerberus, etc.).

Also found the launcher -- IIRC it was easy to find, akin to /system/priv-app/com.amazon.firelauncher. Of course I did the same thing; moved it, rebooted and uninstalled it. I already had Smart Launcher 3 (Pro; already bought it for the phone, love it the same on here), and it just took right over.

I do want/intend to dump the rest of the crap, like the thousand and one "applications" that just go to the different points in Amazon's shop app. Only one I really want is the actual application market/store (though I think its been completely replaced by that underground application now), as I do use Amazon's ecosystem for some of my applications, games, etc. -- just not all of it. ;)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] RedBullet:
Expecting a new HD 6 for xmas, but want to make it more regular android (running google stuff, including now launcher). I assume I start here? DO I need to do this before I do anything else on the tablet?

How is the result going to compare to a normal android tablet running lollipop?

Thanks in advance!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Yes, start here--or there's a video guide and a less detailed guide. All use the same basic method.

Don't register immediately: In setup, choose language and on next screen say "register later" and make sure wifi stays OFF. Now go to Settings/Device Options and see what OS version you have and follow instructions at top of the OP for what to do based on your OS.

You can't turn this into pure android: Anything you do will be running on top of Fire OS, and there are no custom roms or permanent custom recovery. What you CAN do is install an alternate launcher and disable a lot of system apps, so it looks and acts more android-like. Look under "Other Good Stuff" at bottom of this post for some ideas
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] RedBullet:
Cool thanks! Out of curiosity is there a significant issue if it is registered? I would just assume that if you have registered that you would just need to do a data wife/factory reset and then could just launch in...

I'm thinking I want to run it vanilla first and see if I can accomplish what I want (which is to basically have a weather forcasting station running some default weather app on all the time).
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
Not that big a deal, but if it's on OS 4.5.3 or below when you get it, you can root it and update to rooted OS 5. If you turn on wifi to register, it will update to 4.5.5 and you'll have to get the developers preview from amazon and downgrade to 4.5.3 to root. It's just extra time and steps.

I just got a new one and it was on OS 4.4.1 and rooted easily.

Actually, if you have adb drivers installed, you can run the commands below (with wifi off) to prevent an update. Then you can turn on wifi and mess around.

adb shell pm block com.amazon.otaverifier

adb shell pm block com.amazon.dcp
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bixxi3:
Woah First tutriol that was truely newbie friendly.

For other users. It does take LONG when the guide states longer restart. And make sure you don't forget to move the files the guide tells you to download and move to tablet.

Now i've actually rooted and got google play working im not sure what to do!

(if anyone has any good suggestions on what i can do now or some awesome apps i should download now please tell me)

My phone is giving me a tremendous amount of trouble when it comes to the headphones. Any movement of the headphone plug causes it to jumble all the music up and launch voice control. It's very annoying!!!!

And then there is also the visible digitizer issue which I am completely bored of now.

So my two choices are either get a warranty exchange through T-Mobile (possible refurbished unit sent to me, is there a way to avoid that?), or send the phone back to LG and have them look at it. What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile LG G3] anoymonos:
I would advise to get a new (different) device. I have had nothing but issues with my device. As of this writing i am waiting on my 6th phone exchange with in one year. They said the can get me a different device but it would be a DOWNGRADE. Or i could use my jump but i dont believe i should have to waste a jump on their **** device. Dont get me wrong i love this phone but quality is poor. Take what you will with this because im sure others will disagree with me but everyone has their own opinion. There is a way to guarentee that you recieve a brand new device but you would have to pm me for that info. And no its not fradulant either.
