[Honor 7 General] Devu21:
Honor 6

Let's look at the good, the bad and the horrible worst..

The GOOD -

good built up design and hardware

At good price...

Awesome high end specs

Smooth working never lags

Charges superfast..

It's been a year to own a huawei honor 6 and it's still the same as newly purchased.. Quite happy with the product and fully satisfied And I'm upgrading to honor seven.. Just go for it. N its the best available in the market at this stage

The BAD-

-NO SOFTWARE UPDATES needs some improvements in software but no updates provided in India secondly no OTA updates you need to stress yourself to know how exactly to download and install softwares.

-Delayed updates... We hear Google talking about Marshmallow where as lollipop is on the verge and honor devices still running on kitkat.. Yes, lollipop updates were provided to download and install but manually and bro it's time for marshmallow and we here were dying to receive lollipop (stable) yet..

-Indian versions are not provided with the features available to Chinese versions.. Not 64gb storage available no dual Sim available

-Cloud storage available only in China

For honor 7 I guess marshmallow would be available in next year Q1

The horrible WORST -

It's not at all a loyal brand

I can purely tag Huawei as "use and throw" device because,

-WORST customer service support

If anything happens to the device after purchasing it... You just need to dump it in the garbage bin (service centre) without having a hope of recycle and getting it back so just forget the past and look for a new one..

So if you wanna avoid such circumstances you got to handle with care

Else it works great smooth efficient.. User friendly... Great specs and awesome built..

So if you are a person frequently updating your handset go for it.. But if you are a long term user suggest you to go for some good branded devices..

Just my opinion.. And no offence meant.. Sorryyyy
[Honor 7 General] Tuerkay:
My newsfeed showed me following page.

http://www.themobileindian.com/news...et-Android-6.0-Marshmallow-Update-in-Jan-2016

don´t know how credible this is and whether it also affects the other H7 versions.
[Honor 7 General] mgolder:
Honor 6.....no updates? You mean apart from all the updates it has received to go from 4.4 to 5.1.1
[Honor 7 General] Devu21:
No.... I received one update that was for emui 3.0 that's all and I hear lots of people updating their firmware but they do that manually.. And not OTA update so I get stuck as I didn't know how to do such updates manually..

But honor 7.. Marshmallow beta would be available from Jan I suppose..

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

What I feel is.. It's pointless in waiting for M update because it's skin emui 3.0 takes it all over the material design and I feel emui is awesome if they keep updating emui..

The lollipop update in honor 6 didn't have much change as the design would remain emui..
[Honor 7 General] mgolder:
Except the ota for the honor 6 & 6+ went out already. So again, saying it had no updates is nonsense.
[Honor 7 General] Devu21:
Sorry sir It may be nonsense for people having technical knowledge

And I'm sorry but I forgot to mention earlier that all the firmware updates were never officially by Huawei for "h60 L04" model (Indian variant) if you check out the official website of honor India there are no updates but when you check updates for Chinese model then you will find many software updates on their official site for honor 6 but none of them would end with model "h60 L04"

So on that part I told that there are no updates
[Honor 7 General] Sideness:
Honor confirmed on twitter that the Honor 7 will be updated to 6.0 in Q1 2016.

Date not confirmed for the 6+.

looks like PLK-L01 is not on the list.... :confused:
[Honor 7 General] gerhard_wa:
PLK-XX is Honor 7 where XX stands for different regional versions. It's the same with P8, the EU version (L01) is not on the list, probably because this list is not intended for European readers! :)
[Honor 7 General] maxens63:
Marshmallow Will arrive in january 2016.:)
[Honor 7 General] chato.pl:
Honor 7 to get Marshmallow beta in a matter of weeks => http://www.androidcentral.com/honor-7-get-marshmallow-beta-matter-weeks
[Honor 7 General] flibblesan:
Yep, I was at the same event. Beta test coming within the next month and is likely to be run through local forums so Honor can obtain feedback.
[Honor 7 General] jonmorris:
I've put my name down (via Honor's PR agency), and once you give your IMEI you'll be sent an OTA update automatically once it's ready. I'll let you all know the progress, but believe there will be a requirement NOT to share the code with others so please don't ask me to extract the files and release the ROM.

Of course, I'm sure someone will...

make sure you're using the original charger,also check if you're charging via 110V or 220.

Hope it helps :D

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
You can NOT use CM12 - all current builds require an unlocked bootloader. You can NOT unlock the bootloader of Fire OS versions above 3.2.3.2, thus you can NOT use CM12. You can also NOT use TWRP recovery.

Reason: Rollback protection by Amazon, preventing downgrading to Fire OS versions below 3.2.8

Good you asked first. ;)

Your options would be to downgrade to 3.2.8, then update to 4.5.2, install Safestrap v4 and use either Nexus v4 for Safestrap v4 or CM11 for Safestrap v4.

[MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] gave a good overview here, so read all the info and ask before you brick your HDX! If you don't follow the procedure 100% correctly, you will brick your HDX! [MENTION=6915090]tropicallazerbeams[/MENTION] also linked to YouTube videos about Safestrap usage and installation of custom ROMs. Regarding the ROMs, read the installation requirements carefully!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Thanks for this answer

Thanks for this answer,

what is the difference between Nexus v4 and CM11. Which one should i install?

CM 11 for Safestrap v4? Because i want to get CM12?

Can I use TWRP with 4.5.2?

Thanks

p-4
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
You can NOT use TWRP (see above), TWRP is available for Fire OS below 3.2.4 only. You must use Safestrap v4 (i.e. NOT Safestrap v3.72/3.75!).

I can't give you any recommendation, but you can try Nexus and CM11 after you installed Safestrap v4. You can even (depending on the size of your sdcard/storage) set up secondary slots and use dual boot with Safestrap installed.

But you should focus on downgrading to 3.2.8, then updating to 4.5.2, rooting, disabling OTA, and installing Safestrap first - that will be difficult and risky enough for the time being.

And note that CM12 is not an option for you. This could change in the future, but I wouldn't count on it.

And one other thing:

If you've Safestrap installed, NEVER use the factory reset in Amazon's stock recovery! You will most likely brick your HDX.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EncryptedCurse:
Nexus is basically an AOSP-based ROM (i.e. stock, just like Google intended).

CM11 should be self-explanatory.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
I was able to successfully downgrade to 13.3.2.8.

Can I now downgrade to 3.2.3.2 (from here) to be able to get an unlocked bootloader?

Because CM 12.1 would be really nice ;)

But for CM11 I also need an unlocked bootloader, dont I? (click).

Or is it possible, after I installed CM 11, to upgrade to CM12? (Has Cyanogenmod an Over the Air update possibility?)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
No, you can NOT downgrade below 3.2.8 due to rollback protection by Amazon (sorry I forgot to mention the reason, added it to my first reply above). Attempting to downgrade further will brick the HDX!

You can use the CM11 you linked to with either Safestrap v4 or an unlocked bootloader. You can NOT unlock (see above), thus you have to use it with Safestrap v4.

In order to install Safestrap v4 you must update to 4.5.2. Keep WLAN off/flight mode active! Kingroot probably requires a short moment of WLAN connection, be sure to enable flight mode right away, you don't want to get updated by Amazon to 4.5.5! After rooting disable OTA, then install Safestrap and make a backup of your Fire OS before you flash any custom ROM!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
I successfully upgraded to 4.5.2.

Can I somehow install kingroot or es explorer without WLAN?

I got the apk on the device but I cant install it without es explorer, which I would download via the amazon app store. Can i enable Wifi for that time?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Enable USB debugging, install Minimal ADB and fastboot, put the kingroot.apk into the adb directory, open a DOS box, change dir (cd) to your adb directory (e.g. enter cd\adb), then enter "adb install kingroot.apk" (without the quotes). This will install Kingroot on your HDX. Then do the same with ES Explorer.

The HDX must be connected to your PC by USB of course (should be obvious). ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Thanks for that tip. Now i got these apps on my Fire HDX.

But Kingroot had some problems with the internet connection and now the Update Fire OS 4.5.4 is downloaded and could be installed. (Which i wont do).

Can I go ahead (with a better internet connection) to root the Fire HDX (it is not rooted yet). Or to I have to roll back to 3.2.8 and then update to 4.5.2 again?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
As long as you're still on 4.5.2 you can try to root, just ensure 4.5.4 won't be installed. After successful root you can disable OTA, and delete the update file. Also ensure you have the latest Kingroot version - 4.50.902 I believe.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Now I tried to root the device with kingroot and a working internet connection but it failed :/

Is there an alternative method to root a kindle fire hdx.

I just tried the app rootGenius but i didnt understand what the app wants from me (the language is chinese or japanese).

Now i tried to root the Fire HDX 7 with 2 different apps. Do I have to reset the device? Or is uninstalling enough?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
I'm not sure why it failed. Kingroot should work with 4.5.2 - you sure the 4.5.4 update didn't start?

Probably wasn't a good idea to try another root app. I'm afraid you can not unroot in Kingroot, because the root attempt was unsuccessful?

Don't try a factory reset by using Amazon's stock recovery yet. May be just try Kingroot again? I think there was another report where it required a second attempt.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
At first I tried the kingroot 3 times and it always failed. Then i tried the other method which failed at 93%. Then I tried kingroot again, and it failed.

Is there another possibility to root it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
I'm afraid no.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Kingroot fails always between 53% and 55%. Once I got over 60%.

Should I upgrade to 4.5.5. And downgrade to 4.5.2 again? And try the kingroot again?

Could i try this one: http://www.gizmag.com/how-to-root-kindle-fire-hdx/30513/ ?

Or will I break my device then?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
That's an old root method not available for 4.5.x!

I'm not sure whether it's ok to update after a failed root attempt - again: you don't get any option to un-root in Kingroot?

You actually don't need to update 4.5.5 though, the 4.5.4 update would be enough, because you can downgrade to 3.2.8 from 4.5.4, too.

Keep flight mode active if you try it, so you won't get updated again. And keep the connection you must have during Kingroot as short as possible, so it won't download the entire 4.5.4 update again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Once I got the option to unroot but there i pressed FIX. At the moment I have WLAN the whole time active. 4.5.4 is already downloaded but not installed yet. I think i will upgrade to 4.5.4 now to downgrade and then do the whole stuff again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Ok, enable flightmode to avoid getting updated further to 4.5.5 then. ;)

And good luck, I'm really not sure about this. :confused:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Does someone know if this root app works normally? (click)

After a few tries I can now locate to /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk but I am not able to rename this apk.

Can I also try these ways to root the Fire HDX 7" or will i brick my device then? (click)

//edit I just enabled wrong locations and it worked with kingroot :)

// edit now i got cm11 installed :) Can I also try other roms like CM12 and insert them in the Rom-slot 2? If it fails, my device isn't bricked, because i only have to restart and load rom-stock or rom slot 1, right?

The only big problem I noticed so far is the battery. After 8 hours in sleeping mode (only screen off) the battery status sank from 90% to 55%. How can I fix this problem?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
No, you can NOT use CM12! It requires an unlocked bootloader, you don't have an unlocked bootloader, and you can NOT unlock the bootloader!

You can use either CM11 for Safestrap v4 (the one you're currently using), or Nexus v4.

Regarding battery try to disable WLAN before going into standby mode. And removing rights like keep alive and changing WLAN for certain apps via Xposed can help as well (xposed should work in CM11 :confused:)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
See [MENTION=6815340]Cl4ncy[/MENTION]'s response on CM12. Further comment is you can easily brick your device even with Safestrap v4. Only flash roms that explicitly state they are Safestrap safe. In contrast to native TWRP on an unlocked device I view Safestrap simply as an enabler vs full safety net.

I have used Nexus v4 and CM11 with Safestrap. Both are battery friendly when installed in the primary slot. Only CM11 works in secondary slots; there have been reports of excessive battery consumption when used in that configuration. Best stick with the stock slot.

Install a quality monitoring app such as GSam (there are many others) to help identify the source of draw down. If you experiment with Nexus v4 be aware the cell/phone utilization is phantom on WiFi only devices. Verify WiFi is entering a low power mode when idle or have it auto disable when the device is sleeping. There are several Xposed modules that will activate/deactivate WiFi on a schedule while sleeping if you need that capability (I find everything syncs within seconds after an overnight slumber with WiFi off; drawn down runs 0.2-0.3% per hour in that configuration). Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Thanks for your answer.

At the moment I have CM 11 installed on ROM-Slot-1 and Nexus v4 on ROM-Slot-1 (but Wifi doesnt work, I cant event turn it on. When I turn the wifi on and close the app and reopen it, the Wifi is always turned "off". Even with a reboot it doesnt work.)

I dont need FireOS anymore. I think it wont get better, even with the new big FireOS update, which should come soon.

So I can install CM 11 on the 'Stock-Rom Slot', right? But then Safestrap and the root app will get deinstalled. Does that work or is my device then brocken.

Someone said in the savestrap video: never install sth in the 'Stock-Rom Slot'.

But if I will have a better performance and no problems with the battery i would do that.

Do I have the whole 32gb of my device then? Because on the ROM-Slot-1 I only have 16gb data :/
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
Nexus ROM has the known issue that WLAN works if Nexus is installed to the stock slot only. CM11 works fine with WLAN in secondary slots.

You could remove the secondary slot and use either Nexus or CM11 in the stock slot, so you'll have all of the available storage (note that some space is used for recovery, system, etc. partitions).

Be sure to backup your Fire OS and move it to your PC before you flash anything to the stock slot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Also, don't attempt to backup your CM11 slot and restore it to the stock slot. That seemed to present a problem for another Safestrap v4 user who reported a brick device. Best do a fresh install to the stock slot after making backups.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Ok, should i load the backup of FireOS to ROM-Slot-4?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Get rid of the secondary slots, mate. See previous comments on using Safestrap v4 as an enabler vs safety net or multi-boot utility. You'll get all your storage back and might enjoy battery battery life. SS itself users some power although you typically won't see that in battery monitoring stats. The presence of secondary slots seems to increase consumption.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
I just tried to install CM11 on the Stock-Rom Slot and it says:"Failed". Now I can press the buttons "Home," "Wipe cache/dalvik", "Reboot System", "Home Button in the left bottom corner" or the "back arrow in the right bottom Corner".

First I added: "cm-11-SAFESTRAP-20150726-UNOFFICIAL-thor.zip"

Slow down and do your homework. A quick review of the CM11 OP (here) would answer your questions. Fastest way to a disaster is to flash/panic/post without proper preparation.

Experienced contributors are here to help, not hand hold. Sorry for the blunt response but pace of your questions suggests you are heading for a brick wall. Lots of devices trashed in the hands of hurried owners. Most questions can be answered (and problems avoided) by reviewing the relevant threads before acting.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Thanks for your answer.

I already read the manual, but some things are still unclear.

For a fresh installation i should do that:

- From Safestrap, go into Wipe Menu and Swipe to perform a factory reset.

- Flash the ROM File

- Flash HDX Nexus Gapps

- (i dont need root)

- Reboot

- Enjoy!

But Cl4ncy says: "To all Safestrap users: DON'T wipe System in Safestrap v3.72/3.75! And never use the factory reset of Amazon's stock recovery! You will brick your HDX!"

And I would like to flash the ROM on the Stock-ROM... So I have to skip the factory reset.

And what I did then was to flash the ROM File but that didnt worked.

I just read the Thread you linked again and I didnt found a post which would answer the question, what to do know, or if you have to do a factory reset even if you do it on the Stock-Rom.

If I didn't saw them I am sorry.

Furthermore I didn't find a post what to do if safestrap failed to flash the rom.

Do I just try it again?

Or do i wipe the Stock Rom Slot?

And when i do a factory reset will the Rom be still in my storage or not? Because normally it should get deleted. Where do I store the Rom then?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Cl4ncy:
You have to read carefully, my signature says: Do NOT wipe System in Safestrap v3.7x!

You use Safestrap v4 which comes with a build-in System-wipe-protection. ;) [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] was nice enough to add this protection to Safestrap v4 to avoid more bricked devices.

And - this is stated in the wipe menu in Safestrap as well - a factory reset is just the standard wipe, it erases Data, Cache & Dalvik only, i.e. the System partition will be untoched. Do NOT go into advanced wipe!

So you deleted all secondary slots you created? Just follow the points you mentioned yourself above then, incl. the factory reset. Just be sure to have the file you want to flash on the HDX, and do NOT reboot before it was flashed successful!

The zip you want to flash should be in \sdcard, so it won't get deleted during the factory reset. Just be sure to do the factory reset only, i.e. stay away from the advanced wipe button/menu! ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:
Thanks for your answer :) So the files in the /datamedia/media/0 wont get deleted? Because there I stored my ROMs.

//edit: nvm Safestrap says "Not including internal storage": So it wont delete these files.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Sounds like you got things sorted. I recall similar confusion when I first discovered the HDX forums and the potential to unshakable such a potent device. I read, read and read some more (for weeks) before attempting my first rollback. Ditto for Safestrap. Many subtle points only became clear with time (mama always said I was special; just needed a bit more space). Not everyone's style but I have yet to brick a device. I would be remiss in not thanking the many contributors in these forums, past and present, for unselfishly sharing their knowledge and patience. We would be nowhere without them.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] p-4:

It works perfectly :)

After 12 hours my Fire HDX 7 lost only 1% energy. (Wifi off)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Glad to hear!! Enjoy your liberated device!

For those who might stumble across this thread: a discussion regarding power consumption can be found in previous posts and elsewhere within the HDX forms. While there may be exceptions with future roms the current suite is quite efficient provided your device and/or Safestrap is properly configured. Observation also applies to FireOS v3 (3.2.4+) and v4 provided your have root access and turn down a few egregious power abusers (detectable via a quality battering monitor app).
