FireOS is a finicky beast. Try one of the custom roms (suggest Fire Nexus or CM 12.1) to rule out other issues with device and/or unlock.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tvd0405:
I have no problem flashing those roms. Looking into the install.sctipt, it seems that the installation for stock rom is quite different than other custom rom. It extracts the system img to system partition and then creates whole bunch of symbolic links. My guess is my fire HDX may have permission issue. Don't know how to overcome this yet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
Agreed. Unfortunately, most of the expertise regarding the unique characteristics of FireOS v4 (including underlying install permissions) has moved on or involved with other commitments. You may have to do some experimenting. Topic is above my pay grade. Sorry ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tvd0405:
I used the latest method of unlock (any firmware) and that could be the cause of symlink failed. Oh well, i will stay out of FireOS roms. Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
If you followed instructions in this thread and device was previously stable I doubt the unlock was done incorrectly or is influencing the symlink errors. Likely FireOS is being a bird of a different feather (again) along with a possible permissions issue as you surmised.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Koile:
Try changing the mount-state for "system" in TWRP, that did the trick for me.

And having the newest version of TWRP caused some trouble too in some occasions.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tvd0405:
I finally was able to flash the stock rom if downloaded directly to the tablet. I was using mtp to transfer the zip file from my pc and for some reason these zip files from the stock roms were more sensitive than the one from other roms.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] j0vi:
I had same issue when moving back from LineageOS 14.1 to stock rom 4.5.5.2 and I think it's not related to mtp transfer. Update always stopped with that symlink error no matter if image was transferred with mtp or downloaded from web. I found out that flashing CM12 first and then without booting the device flashing the modified TWRP compatible stock rom, the update process goes thru successfully. Then I wiped all other partitions except System (& External partition). After booting the FireOS for the first time you might need to skip the Kindle Fire registration, otherwise it might end up into endless loop that keeps asking for language settings for device all and all over again. If that happens you can wipe all partitions except System again with TWRP and boot -> set language -> skip Kindle Fire registration -> you have working device again. You can register your device afterwards without any problems.

My TWRP version is 3.0.3-1
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] tselling:
No luck with Prime Instant Videos

I keep getting Unknown_Error and License_Error. Any idea how to fix? I read someone said something about trying Amazon Underground but doesn't show as compatible with my Fire HDX. I installed this ROM to a Thor LTE model with unlocked bootloader and TWRP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
These are old images that are no longer maintained. You'd be better off going with a custom ROM and using Underground to get Amazon specific content.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] moonsoo:
Hi,

quick Question, where did you get the stock ROM from?

I tried 2 version available here but both do not play prime video in full HD only in HD.

Something seems to be broken as downloading and playing in full HD works.

It's not a 100% dealbreaker but as the display is still stellar it would be a pitty.:D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
The repackaged zips in the OP if this thread are the latest available that have been tested in the wild. You can also try a different build here (link toward bottom of post) but I would expect a similar result. I don't know if FireOS v4 supported full HD streaming from the integrated Amazon app. We're going back 2-3 years when HD streams was still the norm for mobile devices.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] moonsoo:
With real stock 4.5.5.2 the videos were played in full HD!

Did someone tried to upHDX a 4.5.5.2 ROM?

Or is there a way to use TWRP to flash real stock ROM?

Saw some thraeds that it dowes not work right away as the device is now a cm_thor and not a thor... -)

As Kingroot works now gapps should be no issue.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
The procedure/tools to create a flashable "real" stock 4.5.5.2 ROM are discussed in post #77 of this thread. That said, I'm not sure this will solve your problem as untouched HDX devices running stock FireOS seem to possess some unique capabilities relative to video playback. I'm sure the mystery is solvable for someone willing to invest the time/effort to peal back the onion.

As for achieving a reliable/stable GAapps install on FireOS v4 - good luck. Yes, it is possible to get the Play Service/Store working but I have yet to encounter someone who has achieved that without expending considerable time/effort on initial setup and/or ongoing maintenance. FireOS v5 has proven to be a much friendlier host to a full or pared down GAaps install. Unfortunately, v5 is not currently an option on this device.

Unlikely anyone has repackaged 4.5.5.3. Best fallbacks are flashable FireOS 4.5.2 or Fire Nexus KTU84Q (preferred). You can also backup your current FireOS install from TWRP.

OTA re-enable

If I were to install an ota update, would it completely reset everything 100% to stock? (every partition) If so, how do I re-enable OTA updates.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] DB126:
It will not. An OTA update simply modifies the contents of the system partition and optionally other common partitions (bootloader, recovery, etc). There is no evidence other partitions are routinely refreshed.

Difficult with a high probability of soft-bricking which will require even more challenging steps to recover. Given age of device (no OTA updates) there is no advantage returning to stock recovery.

Hello everyone, I'm new here so I don't know where to post this

First of all, I have other devices so it's not about buying a new one. I need this device for the apps using its id

My tablet was stuck on boot so I flashed a rom that was supposedly for my device. I never wanted to flash a rom but I needed to. The touch screen and wifi didn't work. I was able to attach a mouse to it so I tested the wifi. I flashed many other roms but the touch screen didn't work.

So, if anyone has a stock rom for the device or any rom that may work on it please send me a link. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything useful.

Oh, and if someone who has the device did a backup for the stock rom can I flash it after that?? :confused: Not sure if this sounds stupid. I don't know much about this.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niellsro:
Hi,

i'm new to android and HTC (switched almost a month ago from an iphone 4). I have a question regarding HTC OTA updates: are they incremental? I've read that 2.10.401.1 should fix the charging issues that arrive after updating to 1.40.401.8. However, my phone shows system update available to 1.40.401.8. Should i update to this version before i'll be able to see the latest one? (i'm from Romania btw).

Also, is the charge time actually fixed after 2.10.401.1?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy498:
Yes they are incremental and yes the charge time is fixed. But you won't be able to install the updates if you modified your system (e.g. root). If you did so you need to restore a stock system by using a RUU or a stock TWRP backup. Both can be found together with instructions here on xda.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niellsro:
Thanks a lot. I didn't modify anything. Would you recommend me to update, i mean are there any other "buggs" related to this update?

Hello,

I was wondering if the application "kingroot" is a good and trustable option to trust my device?

I also saw a site "oneclickroot.com" that looked intresting but after research I saw it's not trustable that they are out of your money.

Or what would you guys advice me?

It's not for intalling roms and so on. Just for other options that I want to root my device.

I believe it was [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] who brought this up on another thread, but he asks people what root is and why they need it. Since you're clearly new at this, I'm taking a page from his book.

1. What is root?

2. Why do you need root?

If you cannot answer both questions, you have no business nor need of rooting your S4. That said, there is an entire thread on Knox in the General forum that you should be reading if you want to know more. However, regardless of the methods used, if you root the Knox flag will be tripped. Once tripped, it stays tripped. There is no way to reset it, period.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Knox is some kind of security crap from Samsung. You can find more about it in the s4 general section or by googling it.

Knox default status is 0x0.

Tripping knox to 0x1 will voind your warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avanox:
1. rooting the the device is to have acces to the root of the phone so you can do more with your phone.

2. I want to root it because I want to have following options enabled at my phone.

* Moving programs to my sd card (not possible anymore without rooting)

* More control over 3G/4G/Wifi/Gps (from my computer) when phone is lost

* Set a security code on the phone factory reset (with avast root edition)

* Using less battery to let greenpower auto disable the 3G or wifi and so on.

At the moment this are the most important things for me.

Flashing roms and so on doesn't intrest me now , because everything is working fine.

Greetings Avanox
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Fantastic. The reason I asked was to get you to slow down a bit and think about what you're doing. Your previous posts in the thread were all over the place and gave the impression that you didn't know what you were doing.

Back to Knox, do you still have a warranty on the S4? Most units will be out of warranty, in which case it won't matter if you trip the Knox flag. If you're trying to preserve your warranty, it probably will not be possible due to changes to Android.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avanox:
Well yes I do have 2 year warranty because I did bought the galaxy s4 just 2 weeks ago, that's why I don't want to root it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
So apparently you're still on Android 4.4.2, since Android 5.x removed the MicroSD card restriction. Is that correct?

As long as you are NOT on Android 5.x, you can root without tripping Knox, by downgrading the bootloader and modem to an earlier version, then running Towelroot. The drawback is that you won't be able to upgrade to Android 5.x. OTA updates won't function, and using Odin to upgrade wipes the /system partition, which will cost you root.

Regardless of the warranty, I personally would trip Knox and not lose any sleep over it.

The fact you have a value edition S4 changes things. You might as well flash CF-Autoroot now, because there are no safe methods for you. There are no custom ROMs either, but I digress.

[MENTION=6892913]darrendude1[/MENTION]: Rule number 1 of this site is to search before you post. The entire reason the rule is present is to avoid having people ask the same questions over and over again, simply because the question has likely been already answered. It applies regardless of whether you are a noob, senior member, recognized developer, or any other title the site may bestow.

In the case of the OP, you clearly didn't read the thread, because I explained to the OP exactly why I asked the questions. He understood why I asked them, and from there we have continued the conversation. To a noob, I would hope they would take rule 1 to heart, and actually did some research into what root is so they could actually explain why they think they need it.

Upon attempting to synchronize large files or volumes of data (approximately 7600 contacts), ActiveSync 4.5 disconnects the handset (the display changes from "Connected" to "Not connected"). All data transfer abruptly ceases.

The handset returns an error message involving the file rapiclnt (which I am further prompted to forward to MS).

The OS is Windows Mobile 5, 4/2007 ROM. Approximately 31.5 MB free.

I have attempted deleting the mobile device profile, using a new profile, synching as a guest, resetting the device, rebooting the computer, defragging, etc. I have excepted from the firewall all the ActiveSynch directory exe files as recommended by the MS Windows Mobile troubleshooting site.

Will 3d party synchronizing software avoid this? Without contacts & calendar, this is just a very heavy and expensive brick
