[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
I'll try.. (-;

The output you posted tells me that VirtualBox is confused,

since the 1-Click VM has been removed, but its configuration

is still there.

This first causes the creation of a new VM to fail.

And then trying to configure and start the VM (which couldn't be created

due to the existing -apparently, leftover- settings file) also fails...

I'd suggest that you try to remove the settings file

'C:\Users\Dining\VirtualBox VMs\1-Click\1-Click.vbox',

try again, and let me know what problem you have;

as I'd expect that you will have some other problem,

if 1-Click didn't work for you out of the box..

PS

I saw your message in the other thread, and I was

about to ask you for a less garbled output, when

I got a notification about your new post here.

Luckily, this time the output was more readable.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
Great! This looks much better, except that now you hit that annoyance

with puttytel not launching as it should. You really should not have to

manually launch this "other instance". (BUT: I understand that you'd get

impatient, since the script is stuck in an infinite loop...)

I've just uploaded a new version that should *really* fix this issue once and for all

(or, so I hope, as it worked for me both in Windows 7 and Windows 10).

Could you give that a try?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
Yes, it does appear so:

Did you look at your device? Was everything green?

If you need an "independent confirmation" read post#5.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Jamesblond005:
I think all was green unsure to be honest it happened in a flash

Thanks so much for your help thus far, got a couple of additional questions, assuming my bootloader is unlocked and Im on TWRP how would you suggest I move forward. Should I install safestrap , should i try and install a new rom 4.05 Nexus . Anything I should do 1st as I say very grateful for youre assistance
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
If your bootloader is unlocked and you have TWRP(proper, from [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION]) installed, you don't need safestrap.

I haven't used any of the custom ROM:s yet (although I plan on testing them and now I have a few days);

so, I cannot really advise on those. I think [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] will be glad to help you there.

(Personally, I use a re-packed version of the latest FireOS.)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Jamesblond005:
All looks great thankyou so much for your help, now have nexus 4.0.5 up and running chuffed to bits thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
All of the roms are great in their own way. All are supported by a single developer (with a bit of outside help) who is spread pretty thin. Support was recently discontinued for two Lollipop roms although they have not immediate issues and enjoy a large user base. All of the custom roms offer full access to the Google Play store and associated services/apps which is a significant consideration for many.

Thoughts based on the assumption/believe you were running Nexus v2 before unlocking:

- Nexus v4 (KitKat based): very similar to Nexus v2; you'll feel right at home!

- CM11 (KitKat based): a long time favorite; rock solid with some additional customization features backed in

- CM13 (Marshmallow based): best choice if you want the latest from Google;

- CM12 (Lollipop based): another fan favoriate but no longer being maintained so you'll need to switch at some point

I skipped over some of the others (Nexus v2, SlimLP, repackaged FireOS) not because they are bad but the user base is considerably smaller and they don't offer a broad advantage over the others.

As will any ROM be sure to read the OP and first few posts for instructions and release notes. Backup what you have so you can go back easily. Also best practice to keep at least one ROM installation img/zip on the device at all times to serve as an emergency recovery if you can't get anything else to work.

Pretty generic overview; ask any questions that come to mind!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Jamesblond005:
Hi Davey yes thankyou I went with Nexus Rom 4.0.5 for now appears to be great, google doing enough on my rom thanks , Very happy after much head scratching to have got a system that looks good and also functions very well. Will try adding movies onto the system soon, I like 2.0.5 so upgrading was a no brainer, I wouldnt usually chase a new os however if added functionality is key I apreciate that. Id also add my thanks you guys rock
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
As you may expect, I must beg to differ on the repackaged FireOS,

which I dare say has a "broad advantage" over anything else, namely:

**everything works** (including HW components, Amazon-specific SW,

Google Play Store, and _most_ [but not all] generic Android apps).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Absolutely agree my friend! Was cranking out a hurried response and neglected to point out the distinct advantage FireOS has over the others: it is the ROM that came with the device and offers the best HW and native app compatibility. That said, Amazon has made great slides in evolving generic android apps that closely mirror their FireOS equivalents in feature/functionality/usability (in many cases the same version is used on both platforms). As for hardware compatibility most of the wrinkles have long been ironed out by [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] with possible exception to comprehensive GPS/LTE support. In short, it ain't like it use to be with the advantage of unfettered Google play store/service compatibility trumping the unique capabilities of FireOS for most users. Hey - I still have a soft spot for FireOS and tried to make a case for v5 in another forum. It did not go well. :)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] pt254:
unlock code is not correct

Hello,

thank your for the installer, but it tells me that the "unlock code is not correct", any idea how to solve this?

I had the same problem when using cuberHDX.py

Thanks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
What version of FireOS (yes - this is relevant)?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
The most likely reason is that you have a boot loader that is not vulnerable (i.e. later than .3.2.3.2);

and, unless you tried advanced stuff, such as rollback, your bootloader version should match your

FireOS version, hence the question from [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION]. Note, however, that some higher version

numbers (up until and including .3.2.6 or .3.2.7, if I remember correctly) __can__ be rolled back.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sanjonny:
Just wanted to say that this worked great on one of my kindle hdx devices. It was the simplest bootloader unlock I have done since the old days. My other hdx has a weird problem that I cannot figure out. I cannot get it to be recognized by the computer. I of course know my drivers work since the other hdx worked fine, but the one hdx does not even get recognized by the computer as being attached (it does charge however) They both had 13.3.2.2.whatever on them, one had a newer recovery than the other, but I flashed the same recovery onto both and the same bootimage from another thread in this area, so if anyone has any ideas, that would be helpful. Otherwise thanks for the great working easy to use software!

They both were updated with the zip from this thread....http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/twrp-flashable-3-2-3-bootloader-upgrade-t3025504

One hdx still not recognized by computer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
I'm glad that worked so well for you. (-;

I'm not quite sure I fully understand the status of the odd one.

Does it turn on and work as expected (other than not being recognized),

or is it a brick? (I'm mostly puzzled by the "it does charge however",

which to me signals that it might not do anything else than just charge.)

Since the files in those ZIPs come from stock Amazon update images,

I'm having a hard time grasping how those could've harmed your HDX,

**unless** you got (possibly unknown to you) updated over the air to

a firmware with rollback protection (I think they started with that at

version .3.2.8; so, if that "13.2.2.whatever" happened to be 13.3.2.8 or above

that could be a reason for trouble, but then you'd probably have a brick

that doesn't even boot properly).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sanjonny:
So I did a bad job describing what is going on. The hdx that only charges is not recognized by the computer. No noise is made when connected, can't adb or anything else except it does charge. I flashed ggow's nexus Rom via twrp and it works great on both devices (so other than not being recognized by computer, second hdx works fine), but I can't get it to connect to the computer to run this unlock. I was simply noting that I flashed that recovery to both devices. I am actually a bit confused about that part because I am not sure if I can flash the boot loader if that's an unlocked one already or I need the unlock but I figured can't hurt to make sure it's unlocked or whatever. But since I can't connect second kindle, can't use this to unlock it or adb (except with Wi-Fi adb) or cannot fastboot. I am not sure if the boot loader is actually where the usb would connect, the recovery, or what might be corrupted such that usb is not recognized on that one hdx but works fine on the other. I checked the usb port for lint and debris but it seems fine and tried current cables so I think it's some software/firmware that got screwed up. I might have unlocked it using the manual method, but since I can't connect it, I can't tell if it is unlocked because I can't use the fastboot command to find out. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] blue_think:
Does it work with Fire OS 4.5.1?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
No. Bootloader unlock can only be accomplished on early versions of FireOS v3. You can not rollback a HDX device running FireOS v4 to v3; it will brick with no known recovery.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ka_putt:
Hi...

I have a one question... I saw engineering key generator in source code of Kindle fire hdx in system/core/fastboot...Is that this generator who's locks our bootloader or is that completely something else...

Sorry for my bad English... ^^
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
This part was fairly clear, but I didn't quite gather whether or not the device with the faulty USB was a total brick or had "only" the USB issue.

This is where _I_ got confused, since it was unclear to me how you got TWRP there in the first place

without a working USB, but -of course- WiFi still works.. (-;

The same vulnerability that allows for a semi-permanent bootloader unlock can also be used to "fake-sign" a boot image (boot.img).

If your TWRP and ROM firmware came with a "signed" boot.img, it shouldn't matter if your bootloader is unlocked.

Note, however, that (AFAIK) some ROMs don't bother with this "fake-signing" and require/assume an unlocked bootloader.

Based on what you had said so far, I suspect that your lack of USB connectivity is a HW issue and not SW/FW, but that's just what it is: my suspicion.

You could test to see if the issue goes away when you run from recovery (the TWRP image runs a normal adb daemon).

If your HDX does get recognized by your computer while in TWRP mode, you got a SW/FW problem; if not, well that case is less conclusive,

but it would seem to give more weight to my suspicion.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
The unlock depends on a mistake in the signature checking code of the bootloader,

which allows faking the signature (independent of what key was supposed to be used).

So, if my interpretation of your question is correct, the answer is: no...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ka_putt:
OK... I understand...

I mean this key...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
That's a beautiful picture, but I don't see how that changes the answer... (-;

Have you seen this, this and this?

All the official images from Amazon seem to be signed with the production key.

On a second thought, perhaps, what you're asking is not what makes the current unlock for _some_ 3rd Gen HDX tablets work,

but if it is possible to use that engineering key to unlock potentially _any_ device with FireOS 4.5.5...

In that case, the answer is: I have no idea, but it's fairly simple (and not too dangerous) to test.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] ka_putt:
I like this picture too...lol...

Thanks for the links... I had read some forums before, but not them all...

I thought maybe is possible to make/compile an unlocked bootloader and change it in the place of the locked one...

As exemplte in bulk mode... Like on lg G2...

I see you managed to unlock your bootloader using one of the older methods, which is great.

Just out of curiosity, what host platform/OS were you trying to run 1-Click on?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
Hmm.. I don't really know, but the bootloader is normally verified by SBL before loading;

so, it would need to be properly signed (unless signature verification in SBL is similarly

flawed). The key you're referring to (assuming it's legitimate at all) is password-protected;

so, you'd need to brute-force the password to even hope to use that key for anything...

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
NO! I have already informed you there is no known bootloader unlock exploits for devices running FireOS v4. Done.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] oOBubbleBoyOo:
I have no luck, my device is not recognized. I've tried reinstalling adb and fastboot drivers, I tried plugging it in all my usb slots, I tried re-enabling my adb on the kindle, and still no luck. My device is compatible for the 1-click unlock, I but I can't seem to pass the easiest part! xD
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Try a different cable; amazing how many times that solves the problem.

Otherwise:

- reboot host (assuming Windows) and HDX

- open Windows device manager

- tether device with FireOS (or any rom) booted

- observe newly added device(s); uninstall drivers

- untether, restart to fastboot, retether and repeat above steps

- reboot both devices; reinstall recommended HDX drivers

- tether device; does windows pick it up?

If still no luck you may have a bad usb port on the device (damaged or missing data pins).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Fallingwater:
I'm trying to unlock my HDX7, but I'm having no luck so far.

First up: it was bought in October 2014, and I never let it do a single OTA update. I tinkered with FireOS a bit, decided it was useless, then flashed Safestrap and then HDX Nexus in the stock ROM slot, deleting FireOS entirely. My version of Safestrap is 3.75.

When I run the 1-click Windows utility I get this in PuttyTel. It ends with this line:

1) D0FBA0A034650FTX -- **UNSUPPORTED** (msm8974/Nexus_HDX_7/msm8974)

1 - select device | r - rescan | q - quit >

If I try anyway, it tells me this. Emphasis on:

FAILED (remote: Unlock code is NOT correct)

On the tablet side, I get this. Resetting the tablet restarts Nexus as normal.

What do I do now? I've tried other ports and reboots and it keeps failing. I'd think my HDX has a non-unlockable bootloader, but with its age it really shouldn't - and as I said I never let it do a single OTA upgrade.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] draxie:
I must admit that I don't quite remember just how verbose I made

the unlock part, but I would've expected to see the hex data that

the script reads from sysfs... Does your pastebin post include all

output after "trying anyway"?

(I can check [and amend, if needed] sometime next week...)

I have a collection of extracted aboot images for all available Amazon updates,

and I can send you a script that gets us a hash from yours. Unless you have some

oddball bootloader, this should let us figure out your bootloader's version...

This will also have to wait until late next week, though (unless you do that on

your own, which is entirely possible, although tiresome).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] Fallingwater:
I've copy-pasted everything I saw in PuttyTel.

If you can tell me the procedure to do it by myself I could try; if I can't pull it off I'll wait for next week, this is not super-urgent. Thanks!
