[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Close to (effectively) zero. A new vulnerability would have to be discovered followed by an exploit to leverage it. 3rd gen devices have been discontinued; we don't even have root for 4th gen devices. I suspect few resources are being expended on this device. All the (Amazon) excitement surrounds the new $50 USD tablets that have been rooted and have a selection of custom roms. HDX is quickly becoming a beautiful dinosaur. Hi specs are out, cheap is in.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fabische:
Am I in serious trouble now?

I have followed to downgrade path by first updating (my 3rd Gen Apollo) from 4.5.2 to 4.5.4 and then to 4.5.5. Next was the 3.2.8-downgrade file:

mod-update-kindle-apollo-14.3.2.8_user_714328020.bin

However, starting this downgrade always results in a "Last update failed" message.

It turns out that there are two different 4.5.5 update files.

update-kindle-22.4.5.5_user_455001820

update-kindle-14.4.5.5_user_455001320

I have updated to the more recent "455001820" which actually refuses the downgrade to 14.3.2.8.

Seems I am stuck now?

Can I at least root update-kindle-22.4.5.5_user_455001820?

Thanks!

UPDATE:

Stuck where I was, I allowed my apollo to go online again. It found a newer 4.5.5 Fire os update and I let it download and run through. It now seems that I am on the latest version of 4.5.5. However, with this setup I am still unable to downgrade to 3.2.8. Every attempt to do so delivers a "Last update failed" message...

AFTERTHOUGHT

Could it make any difference if I factory reset the device (i.e. with regards to the downgrading process)? I have also noticed that I did not uninstall GAPPs before updating Fire OS to 4.5.5. However, I did manage to uninstall Google Apps and then also deleted google related files by searching with ES Explorer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I do not think the different subversion of 14.4.5.5 are significant in your situation although good to know they exist.

Yes - I would try a factory reset as others have reported success when update (rollback) files fail to process. This is one of the few cases where benefits of a factory reset outweigh risks. Make sure usb debugging is enabled as it may prove beneficial if your device has trouble restarting after the reset.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fabische:
Thanks, davey126. I have made factory reset on my device. I will try to downgrade later today. With regard to unlocking the 4.5.5. bootloader there has been an interesting development: a couple of days ago somebody managed to crack the 4.5.5 bootloader - unfortunately for the Kindle HD 7 (3rd Gen, 2013) only. What is your guess: could this prove useful for the HDX? Could this become a Safestrap alternative? Is it worth the wait?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Aside from sharing a generational identifier the two tabs have little in common. It's possible there is some similar code in the bootloader...but that seems unlikely. The real issue imo is the number people working on HDX vs HD variants. Only a few talented devs (I'm not one of them) tinkering with the former which is now discontinued.

Installing Safestrap does not decisively close the door to leveraging future BL exploits should one become available. I also think we may see some progress on a LP/MM rom for SS over time. Fingers crossed!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fabische:
Thanks again, Davey126. All is well now.

It all turned out as you predicted: downgrading 3.2.8 was possible after I made a factory reset on 4.5.5.

The rest was easy: upgrading back to 4.5.2 and rooting.

Your second prediction also proved correct: Safestrap 4.0.1 was not working properly on my fire os stock ROM. However, by going through this whole down- and upgrading process again Safestrap couldn't run smoother as it runs now. Finally, a working Safestrap opened the road (Hallelujah!!) to GET RID OF FIRE OS ONCE AND FOR ALL. I am now on rooted CM11 with GAPPS and starting to explore a new, liberated tablet! One more reason to celebrate!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Excellent - glad everything went as hoped. I suggest you glance through previous posts to make sure everything is configured to give you the best experience.

Enjoy your liberated HDX.

Hello,

I've been wanting to use my Galaxy tab pro to go live on periscope, but I've been having issues with the orientation. The bank camera is initially in perfect orientation but the front camera come out distorted. I was wondering if there is any work around which would let me use the front camera on the 12.2 Tab Pro. I'm on Stock Rooted Lollipop btw. Thank you!

Something I have noticed today-when I load a page in chrome on my nexus 6, along the right edge there are images that are almost like a mirror image to whatever is on the screen-but it's not clickable or scrollable... Its really weird-has anyone seen this? Just look to the right-where the scroll bar is...you will see it

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leondestiny:
exact same thing happens with me, i dont know if this is caused by the google updated chrome,

but i thought it was because of my Glass Screen Protector... i have the exact same issue and it can get annoying :/

i am on Chroma's Final LP based Rom , also wish to know what is causing this.

Strange...I am stock, rooted...I just hid the navigation bar and I am using LMT. Checked my wife's nexus 4-also running the latest chrome version-nothing-she doesn't have this issue.

[Samsung Gear S2] RubenRybnik:
Coming from the Moto 360 Gen 1 I loved how the clock showed when docked, made a nice bedside clock. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to do this with the S2 is there? I have the screen set to "Always On" and it works great that way on my wrist, get over a days usage with that setting. As soon as I set it on the charger though the screen will time out and go black.

I'm guessing this is to prevent burn in perhaps? Which I'm actually a little concerned about with "Always On" on my wrist, but thats another topic.

So am I missing something or can you not use the Gear S2 as a night stand clock?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThyMaster:
Yepp, so far there is no always-on setting for the charging station.

And yes, AMOLEDs can burn in, but this could easily be avoided by shifting the night clock from time to time (like a screen saver).

And no, don't worry about burn in when using always on while wearing. The S2 will show needles only and they also move a tiny bit every time.

OT: I gave up on always on as it really drowns the battery though (by 56-60% compared to off)

ThyMaster
[Samsung Gear S2] RubenRybnik:
My "Always On" displays a digital clock, no needles... Maybe this is dependent on the watch face you have picked, I haven't tried changing the face with always on switched... well on.

For me it's worth the battery hit, it still easily lasts a day which is all i need :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Schoebicom:
Alive

I found a way. Load the app “Alive“. Turn the switch on. Use a dark watchface (e.g. Simple dark gear), adjust the brightness. Enjoy :):)
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
Here you see my bedside-clock, you also need "Alive" and put it over night in the charger - it's bright enough for a dark night :o

In 3 days in store as "OneNightStand"
[Samsung Gear S2] Schoebicom:
found it today in the store - looks very nice :o
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
In 3 days you may get the "NightStand - second edition" with starry night :)
[Samsung Gear S2] neverbug:
Where? I can't find this app. Where do I find it?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
Searching for "Nightstand" in store I get this 2 results: "NightStand" and "NightStand - 12h".

Another way: search for "Armin" :cool:

AND: If you want to use it all night long you have to activate the APP "I am Alive" !
[Samsung Gear S2] deadonred:
search for "bedside" for night clock face

You can search for "bedside" as well for an analog clock that minimizes burn in. Bedside Night Table Charging watch face.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

You can use Bedside Night Table Charging watch face for a minimalist analog night watch face.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
... or you use NightStand (together with "Alive") ...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yota14:
have rooted s5 on 4.4.4 nk2. Have been trying to install custom roms via safestrap. Apparently i am missing a step. I wipe data, try to install twi5ted Lollipop on custom rom slot....blank screen for over 30 min after reboot, phone gets real hot, take battery out. Try to install on stock rom slot, reboot then get stuck in boot loop and keeps booting into system recovery. I then saw through my hours of searching to format instead of wipe....so i format then try to install, get stuck again, take battery out, get back to safestrap dash now when i try to wipe/format/or even restore my backup it says unable to mount system. When i click reboot system it says no OS installed. After reboot, my custom slot gets erased.

I was about to try an odin flash back to stock but some how was able to get my phone back to a system restore. Why can i not get anything installed? Do i have to have odin to do a custom rom install?????? i know every rom is different but wtf. I have seen multiple videos and threads of people flashing zip via safestrap and rebooting into new rom without flashing kernals via odin or safestrap after rom install.

Also...my phone will not let me download zip files (ex. cm12.1) says unable to create download folder....how close to F'in my phone up am i? I have successfully rooted all phones in the past...s5 is giving me hell!

I just tried installing rom after format, then flash nk2 kernel from odin, still gives boot loop....ive tried everything i have found..never this much problem with custom rom..
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjiggywiggy:
When you try to install twisted it needs lollipop firmware which is flashed on odin, and based on your statement it says you're on NK2, a kitkat firmware. Try flashing a stock ncg tar and rerouting, downloading apps, etc. on the phone to see if that works. Also, I noticed you mentioned a cm 12.1 zip not downloading which, while unrelated to your current problem, will cause a bootloop when flashed due to the locked bootloader on the S5, so it isn't a smart idea to even attempt an install.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yota14:
thanks, i will try fresh from start ncg. so you have to be on the current kernel that you are flashing a rom for, whether its CM, Twi5ted, Alliance...etc i need to be on rooted 5.0 kernel then flash rom via safestrap?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yota14:
i was having problems downloading from internet on phone, not downloading rom if thats what you thought i meant. I just tried installing zip for CM 12 via safestrap and got same issue. Phone reboots, goes to black screen and eventually heats up like crazy. .... I just noticed, after my restore ...again... it says safestrap disabled in red on the boot screen, why is that? it says installed and tried reinstalling.

FIXED

So i flashed ncg from odin on the messed up phone and got messed up worse. Ended up getting stuck on first boot image of samsung android s5 boot screen.

People kept saying the same thing with the Nexus 5 battery being horrific. With my usage and what I had installed I can get 14-15 hours before I have to plug it in. My other devices are about the same except of few devices like the Xperia when I have stamina mode on.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamajikaciya:
Well, let's take a look :

The screen is %4 and the battery is %17 bigger than Nexus 5.

If we add a little bit more efficient battery advantage and a new IPS panel to this equation we can expect

maximum

%18-20 better battery performance than Nexus 5. That's all.

It means if you get 3h of SOT with your Nexus 5 you may except maximum 3h and 30-40 min SOT with Nexus 5X.

So no need to be too pessimist but also optimist.

So far I have loaded the stock rom and rooted the phone. Before proceeding any further I checked settings>wireless & networks>Mobile Networks>network Mode, and I now have the options for Global, CDMA, and GSM/UTMS.
