Fire HDx 8.9 4th is bricked

Hi guys, i got the Fire HDx 8.9 4th gen few days ago with a bug, in a sleep mode its turned off and stuck at grey logo "Amazon" (reboot helped). When i wanted to update Fire OS from 4.5.5.1 to 5.1.1 was the same thing. So I cannot update it. I rooted the 4.5.5.1 version with kingroot v4.80, than replaced it with supersume pro v9.1.9 (!), installed morelocale, nova launcher, titanium backup. In titanium i frozen some apps (!) like Amazon freetime, something about books, and few others that i wanted to delete, i think i didnt touch system files. I didnt froze default launcher btw. And i think I relocated file boot.img (or smth like this) from internal storage(!). I rebooted tablet and now its loads only to orange logo. I cannot get into default recovery, custom recovery wasnt installed. I tried to access it with adb, but it shows device as "offline". Will appreciate your help!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Aside from root on some FireOS v4/v5 builds there are no known exploits for 4th gen HDX devices that permit booting a custom recovery or taking other actions to fix a borked ROM. Freezing pre-installed apps (located in the system partition) on FireOS v4 often leads to boot failures. Even if you could get to stock recovery it wouldn't help as only erases the data partition; it does not reset/restore the system partition. Unless your can get ADB working little can be done to recover the device. Might try a 'fastboot'/'factory' cable although not sure that will help as Amazon crippled/disabled most fastboot commands.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kpoccep:
Thanks for your answer. Any ideas how can i fix "offline" mode? I installed drivers from amazon site, and adb from a android, so drivers should be up to date. I tried 3 diffrent usb cables, and nothing. Actually even if I get Fire connected to adb I dont know what to do next yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

I thought about factory cable, but i have read that it aint work at this device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
For whatever reason Motorola composite drivers seem to work best with HDX devices. Install the Motorola Device Manager from the linked site and switch drivers (you don't need to launch the utility; just install it). However, it probably won't help given the message you are receiving.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/79106/p/30,75,27,

Little can be done without stable ADB access. Even then it's a crap shoot with low odds of success. To be honest I doubt a factory cable will be of any help. Need to begin accepting the idea that the device may not be recoverable.

Fire HDX 8.9" Problem with Google APK's

I have done this a few times with my 4th generation Kindle, so I can get just a few apps on the operating system. I sideload the four (4) APK files onto the Kindle and then do an install and everything seems to be fine. I go to the Play store and download the apps. However, once everything is set up and running, for instance, if I go on the Silk browser and review sites or go to an app, after a few seconds it will kick me back to the home screen. I have used this method

ww.howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet

I am not an expert on this stuff and the last time I deleted the apk files so this wouldn't happen again. OS version 5.6.1

Even if I have the settings screen up it will kick me to the home screen in about 5 seconds.

What do you think?

I have a bricked Saturn. It only shows up in the qdloader 9008 mode on my PC. Can someone point me in a direction to fix this? Or is it even fixable at this point?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sd_shadow:
It's in emergency download mode, I haven't seen anyone with this device, recover from that issue.

One possible option is let battery die, or disconnect the battery, charge battery, then try booting it.

If you cannot get it out of that mode, the fix for other devices is flash a blank flash file, or a mmcblk0.img.

The blank flash is a file leaked by the chip maker, any blank flash for another device with the same processor should work.

A mmcblk0.img is pulled from a working device of the same model number.

I can't say for sure that either method would work with a Saturn.

sd_shadow,

I will research your suggestion. Here is the direction I was going in from a post back in August. Thought I might pick your brain about it...

"I downloaded a program called qfil, then installed Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 drivers to my windows 10 PC. When I plug in my Saturn, it shows up as usb_bulk. I hold down power and volume up for 30 seconds and then it is in QDLoader 9008 mode. Qfil recognizes this. This is where I am running into problems. I have the firmware.bin for the Saturn, but qfil requires: Raw0.mbn, Patch0.mbn, and Firehouse_emmcXXXX to start the flash process. Anyone on XDA know how I might go about making/acquiring these files?"

what now

I have 8.9 HDX with OS upgraded through the years, plus some rooting that I had done. Ultimately, I went back to original OS and have been keeping up to date with patches.

Recently, I reset it thinking I was going to give it to someone, but I said let me try register and test an app or so. I went to Amazon app store and it's telling me it's no longer supported and redirected me to a web page, but it doesn't seem to recognize my device.

I would kind of like to get it working. What should I do?

Make sure you know which hardware you have.

If you have the 4th Gen HDX Fire (codename: Saturn)

There wasn't really any development for this device.

But there is a Fire OS updated available to 5.xxx

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201596890.

Fire OS 5.xxx is much more friendly to play store, you just need to install the 4 Google apps as normal user apps.

Might be a stupid question, but just got a 4th generation Fire HDX 8.9, and it's for my wife. Didn't realize it comes with the new OS. She likes the carousel and all that. Amazon doesn't have the rollback option anymore. Anyway I can roll it back on my own, without rooting and whatnot, if I have the original firmware? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Rolling back to FireOS v4 will likely brick the device due to bootloader efuse. The brick is fatal on 4th gen devices as there is not an unlock/recovery path.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sd_shadow:
Agreed rolling back Fire OS has a very risk of an unusable device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] soulweeper51:
Thanks for the reply. Amazon used to have an option, on this particular fire, the Fire HDX 8.9, to roll back to the previous OS, and now it's not there, that was why I asked. My wife simply doesn't like the new OS. Her other 3rd generation Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, still has the carousel and all that. Hoping there was an easy workaround to that.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
That option was only there for a finite period of time following a major update. It proved less than satisfactory as some devices would brick during the down grade. In some respects you may be fortunate it aged out.

ITEL 1452 : Camera error, can't connect to the camera.

Hello to all members of XDA,

My name is Fehren and I have a problem you submit, I heard the good of your site , you told me that you are the best.

In recent weeks, my phone 's ITEL 1452 camera does not work, every time I try to take a photo is the message that appears: " Camera error, can't connect to the camera. " I did a screen capture so you have the information on my laptop and the problem

I tried to solve the problem:

- by resetting my phone,

-by suppressing the system 's camera and since then I am unable to reinstall camera.apk

the ability of the application is now 32ko

What should I do so that the mo camera phone working again ?

I really need your help. Thank you
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue. But normally these issues can be hardware related... But more often it's another app keeping your camera busy so the camera app can't use it. Look at recent apps you've installed. Especially anything that uses the camera at all.

If that doesn't help you will need to ask for help here,

So I'm using an A13 tablet with mali 400 GPU and 512MB of ram. 800x480

Some EGL apps are having texture problems where the screen will go black. Benchmarks that run get low FPS too like 5-15. Apps are clearly running with black screen too and in some benchmarks it goes in/out.

I see error messages like:

L90 d415 No command.

Ok so I would like to start of by saying im not very advanced with rooting but I know my way around it.​

So I rooted my phone and it was successful. But I was trying to change the stock emoji and the guide was actually put out pretty well. But then I wanted to change the system folder permissions and I made the mistake by I guess changing it to something that shouldn't have been set to and my screen went black. So I rebooted my phone and noticed it was in a boot-loop(sort of). I think I made a huge mistake by factory resetting and also wiping my dating from recovery. I'm not sure if that removed USB debugging but when I go into adb and open up the command prompt my phone connects but no files actually show up.

Sorry if its a little confusing. But I really need to know if i can fix this and if you need further details ill try my best to to provide them.

Oh and btw the little robot is knocked out with "No Command" and a orange triangle.

Restoring s6 edge wont work

I try to restore my phone and when I do it from settings factory data reset it turns off the phone and doesn't turn on until i hold the power button when I do a hard reset i turn off the phone held power volume up and home and it just keeps on the s6 screen where it says samsung galaxy s6 edge custom powered by android then after 10 seconds the home and back buttons flash like 3 or 4 times then it freezes for like 2 minutes then the screen flashes bright white with son other colors mixed in for a millisecond then turns off immediately and won't turn on but after holding the power for a moment and letting go the phone lights up 10 seconds after i let go and the phone boots up like nothing happened I tried before i rooted it and it wouldn't work my warranty is obviously voided since it's rooted and I'm mad that that's the reason I rooted is to get twrp or cwm and they don't support my variant its a galaxy s6 edge cellcom SM-G925R6 on android 5.0.2 and I want to reset since it's been having performance issues, anyone know what the heck I should do? Bottom line it won't go to recovery menu, but for some reason download mode works just fine. I feel like crap since it's not a cheap phone and I messed up my warranty trying to fix this thing. Phone still works as it did but it just needs to be reset since it gets slow.

I'm on VP3G's WM6. The extended ROM shows about 8mbs free. If I unlock my Extended ROM, then does that mean it's an extra 8mbs of storage memory? Or program memory (which would be awesome). Is that how it works?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] KarhU:
You will get it as a storage memory. Although if it was possible to have it as a program memory that would be sweet :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] todd_jg:
One thing I have experienced with the ExtROM unlocked and used for storage is that most of the things that use storage card (like PIE cache and Outlook storage) will use the ExtROM if it is mounted. Thise tweaks seem to choose the forst mounted external storage and the ExtROM comes before the storage card. Not sure if that is changeable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edhaas:
This might be a little misleading. The unlocked extended rom shows up like an additional storage card. It is not added to storage memory directly, but can be used instead of storage memory to install most programs. Hope this helps.

i'm having similar issues. I have a TyTN with Custel 1.3 (still). The device has been flashed many times w/o any problems.

I also can swap SIM cards without any issues (unlocked).

The Extended ROM can be made visible but if I set the attribute to Unlocked it doesn't seem to do anything. I can't save files nor delete anything from the Extended ROM. The device seems also significantly slower while the Extended ROM is visible.

I'm using HTweakC to unlock the extended ROM.

Any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gmgonzal:
look for Olipro's

Look for Olipro's ext rom unlocker. Read up on the thread and try that, it resolved the issue for me. One note: I had trouble with ext rom when I intalled programs on it and let PIE and Outlook put their temp files on it and the ext rom space became full. At this point it became unusable and I couldn't read/write/delete anything from it or format it in any way. I'm not 100% positive this is why it happened, but I'm not trying that again to confirm!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] software_samurai:
It's stable for me.

The Extended ROM on both mine and my wife's TyTn are about 90% full and they seems perfectly stable.

We don't, however, have any temp folders in there - they're all on the card or in main storage. So maybe that's a clue?
