Trouble with ADB

Ok, not sure what Im doing wrong here but it seems to fail out when downloading boot.img. Below is what is what is seen in cmd.

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.156s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.172s

Tablet shows

USB Transferring...
USB Transmission OK...

I thought it was something with the script but I've gotten the same issue when running the root script too. I've reinstalled numerous fire drivers thinking one might have gotten corrupt but that didnt change anything. I can see my device fine when I run 'adb devices'. I did install the Google Play Services if that makes a difference.
[Fire General] Vlasp:
Your device is on 5.1.1, and nothing on this forum applies to that update except for the Google Play Services tutorial. That update has locked down everything else.
[Fire General] lillie17:
Damn, OK thanks. I'll just wait and see what happens. I'm sure someone here at XDA will find a way. Can't wait to get rid of this fire launcher
[Fire General] slicksps:
Check your device manager, once the Fire boots into Fastboot, Windows sees it as a different device and you may need to reload the drivers. The "waiting for device" should be there for half a second at best.

Rooting and deleting fire launcher? Using another?
[Fire General] jon6fingrs:
Hey so like a moron the first thing I did when I got my tablet was let it connect to the Internet and update.

The stock launcher is just incredibly bad.

I used tasker as a pretty crappy work round to try and get nova to launch instead of the fire launcher.

I have 3 tasks- when the lockscreen is unlocked, when the fire launcher comes to the foreground, or swiping up from the home button all launch nova. Unfortunately, there's a 5-6 second delay between when the fire launcher comes to the foreground and when nova is launched. Swiping up from the home button works great though and I think I can retrain myself to just use that instead of clicking home. The lag between unlocking and launching nova is only like less than a second though alsl.

Hope this helps.
[Fire General] Pond-life:
Well if 5.1.1 could be rooted yes.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

That's creative thinking. 5-6 secs is a bit of a drag though. Weird that that one is so slow when the other is pretty speedy
[Fire General] jon6fingrs:
Yeah I know, I don't actually rely on the home button click. I just like knowing that there's a fail safe so that if my tablet does somehow get to the fire launcher, nova will eventually come back.

Any ideas about making everything more seamless?
[Fire General] lh94:
Script for Fire phone? Possible?

Is it possible to make a script to do the same thing on the Fire phone. I mean, to completely replace the native launcher with something else?
[Fire General] jkchr1s:
I was working on a solution to this when we stumbled upon the root method. The problem is that android throttles launching an activity after a home button press. Google built this in to Lollipop to prevent malware from taking over the home button press.

I had one workaround working by running adbd on the device and sending a shell command, but this requires a PC to send some adb commands on each boot.

Your best bet would be either patience (for another root method) or shell out some money to buy another tablet with the appropriate bootloader for root (ie root it before doing anything else, don't connect to WiFi)

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Look at FireStarter. It was built for Fire TV, but has home detection that should work. You can change the home press and double press to launch the launcher of your choice.
[Fire General] pastorbennett:
As far as rooting 5.1.1, has anyone tried Kingroot? I can't check right now, since I bought 3 of these as Christmas gifts for the kids ($35 early Black Friday special) and I have a sick kid home with me today. Unfortunately for me I didn't read a single thing before turning these on, so I'm stuck on 5.1.1, but if Kingroot would work for temp root, it would be easy enough to freeze the Fire launcher with Rom Toolbox or TiBu, then install a launcher of your choice. If anyone wanted to give it a shot and report back, go for it. Otherwise, I can check into it at some point maybe tomorrow.
[Fire General] klsystem1:

[Fire General] pastorbennett:
Thanks for sharing! I really don't need it, since I purchased 3 Fires for my kids for Christmas, but just in case, I'm going to be blocking OTA to prevent future patches from removing this exploit.

Yeah, I tried it too. No dice. But it sounds like this new method works, which is great, since I don't care all that much for Kingroot.
[Fire General] cactushead:
Does this work with a regular update to 5.1.1 as I get a "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" at the point where it is trying to boot the boot-firelauncher.img
[Fire General] Pond-life:
No, it says in the OP "This will not work with regular updates to 5.1.1! Only for those who kept the old bootloader."

It does say it'll be updated but hasn't yet.

The supertool has it in though. It will delete the amazon launcher so if you want to keep it you would have to edit the batch file.

http://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695
[Fire General] Dandroid Optimus:
How do you edit the batch file to keep Fire Launcher, and if you do, can you uninstall the alternative launcher to revert back to the Amazon launcher?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Fire launcher must be disabled in some way

just use titanium backup pro to freeze or rename with a root file manager

Safe to remove 5.0.1 Bloatware

Adb Shell Pm Hide as much bloat and amazon as you can by k3ll0gs
[Fire General] :
OP, not sure if this is helpful, but you can use the fastboot exploit to get a shell session with enhanced permissions for your script without rooting the device, and on reboot the root shell would be dropped. It would probably make things a lot easier for you. Npt sure if anyone has said this yet. It'd also make your script work on both releases of FireOS.
[Fire General] alisonnic:
I did the same thing: allowed the OTA update as soon as I started up my Fire. Doh!

I've already installed Google Play and the Nova Launcher, which make the Fire a lot nicer. Hopefully soon someone will figure out how to root a normal 5.1.1 install like mine so tapping the Home button will launch Nova.

Meanwhile, I'd like to try the above workaround. One question:

Is the Tasker app you used the one made by Crafty Apps EU for $2.99? There are several apps in the Play Store with this or similar names. I want to make sure I get the right one.
[Fire General] Pond-life:
Erm they already did.

If this is not working for you, there is a possibility you are running an unsupported HD model (HD 8, HD 10, etc). Luckily there is an alternative here:

Thanks so much, Pond-life! I used the SuperTool to root my Fire 7 and install the Nova launcher. Awesome! I loved my Fire before, but now I totally adore it! It's hugely faster than it was with the klunky default launcher, and now it looks and acts just like all my other Android devices (which also have the Nova launcher installed). :) :o :D

Kingroot works as of may 2016

Hey just want to post a link to the xda forum post that saved my Amazon Fire HD 7 4th gen. from never having gapps or root.

If you are on fire os 5. I had to go into "Manage Content and Devices" under the "Your Account" dropdown menu on amazon.com, select my kindle fire, and downgrade to fire os 4 (it takes a couple of days of keeping your kindle hooked up to wireless).

If you are on fire os 4.5.5.1, you can just use kingroot to root. After you have your Fire rooted, follow this tutorial

This tutorial will get TWRP( temporarily) on your kindle, upgrade you to fire os 5, disable OTA updates, install SU, and integrate GApps and google services framework. (Lets you have full google play store access and the ability to play games such as clash of clans)

Hope this helps, even though its 5 months late. :)
[Fire General] DB126:
This procedure will not work with a 2015 5th Gen 7" Fire as it never shipped with FireOS 4.x and can not be downgraded to that version (nor is it necessary).

[Fire General] CinnamonBunny:
I'm having the same problem as the person above buit i can reboot just fine back into the regular fire launcher. I am already running 5.1.2. Do I need to do a restore anyway to make this work?

Edit: Sideloaded 5.1.2 (without updates) and the installer goes further but stops at reboot. When I manually reboot it's still fire launcher :(
[Fire General] andoryuu3:
You might not need to restore, but I would recommend it. I messed up when attempting to modify my Kindle Fire 7 (16GB), and a restore fixed my problems.

If you can complete the restore process successfully, I recommend using RootJunky's SuperTool. SuperTool only supports Nova Launcher though. If you're not comfortable with the command prompt, I can assist you in getting SuperTool to run. After much research over the last 24 hours, it's hands down the fastest and painless way to modify your Kindle Fire on 5.1.1 and 5.1.2.
[Fire General] CinnamonBunny:
This is exactly what I did and it worked. Thanks :) Now I'm trying to get rid of bing. . .sigh.
[Fire General] andoryuu3:
Awesome :)

Bing? Is that what the Amazon launcher defaults to search with or something?

I literally got my Kindle Fire just over 24 hours ago lol. I'm currently on 5.1.1 with the following tweaks:

Root (SuperSu)

Disable OTA updates

Disable lockscreen ads

Install Play Store

Switch Amazon launcher for Nova launcher

Install Xposed framework

For now I'm satisfied with Nova Launcher, but I may switch back to Amazon launcher. I switched to make use of widgets, but I realized that I don't really have any I want to use... And I kind of miss having my Audiobooks and Kindle books on the homescreen. I actually bought my Kindle for Amazon content as opposed to using it as a cheap Android tablet. (it's the only simple way to get Wired magazine and GQ digital without an iPad; plus I have a lot of Kindle/Audible/Prime content)

Let me know if you find a solution to removing bing. I might find the info useful if/when I do switch back to the Amazon launcher.

I'm upgrading from a Nexus6 to a Nexus 6P.

So I don't have any other phones to test this on.

But I tried to android Beam a webpage from Nexus6 to Nexus 6P, and it didn't even seen like an attempt was made...

If you click share in the browser settings and choose android Beam, the webpage pans out like as if it will Beam. But when you tap the two phones together... Nothing happens...

Is this a bug with Android 6.0????

How can I get android Beam to work on my Nexus 6P??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordonszeto:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
Just to make sure the NFC chip in my Nexus6P wasn't broken or it wasn't an O.S. glitch. I shared a picture on my Nexus6P to another Nexus5X my friend had... using Android Beam... and the picture transferred just fine the usual tap-to-share method...

sharing the same picture from N6P to N6, and nothing......

If anyone else has both a Nexus 6P and Nexus6, please do try this and let me know if it works or if it fails for you?

it would be a major bummer if i can never again tap-to-share with others who are using last year's nexus phone :(
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bts0004:

I hope no one will rape me, as I'm answering your not allowed question, but you'd try resurrection remix with pre-installed dark theme. Guess more battery life can't be expected on other lollipop roms. Lollipop in general needs more battery than the other Android versions in my opinion.

You can find the rom by searching for "galaxys2root".

In the section Galaxy s2 roms the latest for gt-i9100 will be rr.

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
All lollipop ROMs have the same battery problem. You can flash all of them if you want, but all will give the same results. Go with kitkat if you want better battery life, personally Slimsaber 4.4.4 is my favourite. Or even better, Stock 4.1.2 is a good option in terms of battery life. I can not answer your question directly due to rules found on XDA.

Then i booted into bootloader using adb reboot bootloader.

i went through the exact scenario, and found the solution myself, you're typing the wrong command, take the battery out, plug your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode or do it via adb

or adb boot twrp-2.8.6.1-h815.img
