Hello,

My Kindle HDX 7 (Thor) previously running FireOS 4.5.5.1. Then I rooted by Kingroot, install Safestrap v4.0.1 by ggow. Curently it running Fire Nexus room but bootloader still lock.

Is the right way to get this room for my device ?

1. Flash Kindle HDX Stock Images 13.4.5.2 <- Flashable on Safestrap v4.0.1. Link: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/hdx-stock-images-pre-rooted-updates-t2911954

2. Rooted by Kingroot

3. Install Safestrap v4.0.1 by ggow. Link: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-safestrap-v4-0-1-t3137840

4. Unlock Bootloader by 1-Click. Link: http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/multi-platform-1-click-bootloader-t3241014

5. Flash CM13

Thank you!

Bootloader can not be unlocked on any 3rd gen HDX with FireOS > 3.2.6. Device will brick if rollback attempted. Your choice of ROMs is limited to CM-11, FireOS or HDX Nexus (all KitKat based). If seeking Android 6.x like capabilities suggest going with Nexus + Xposed framework and Nova launcher. Not Marshmallow by a long shot but still a nice, stable environment that works well with this device.

upgrade from CM12.1 via CM Updater?

My apollo is on CM12.1-20150928. I actually got a notification from CM Updater on my device! Was really sceptic and checked the CM official page and there were the nightlies! :D Thanks [MENTION=5749760]ggow[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]!

Here's my question: I am getting the notification and the CM updater also shows the available update, but can I use the mechanism in CM updater? I wouldn't assume that can work for the upgrade from 12.1 to 13, or should it?

Sure, might as well try...

Was not successful though. System booted alright, but then play services keep crashing and wanted to be updated. That was not possible though, probably because the play services were not working... Flashed new openGAPPS but then got a bootloop. In the end I just needed to wipe and do a fresh install of CM13. Maybe someone else will have more luck using the CM updater, maybe when coming from a previous CM13 build. Thanks anyways for the suggestion.

For me, the camera is not working with thor image.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Hashcode:
Please be specific if can:

- Not working or saying there's a problem connecting to camera (in the log it says "no rear camera)

- Does Hangouts work? Or Skype?

- There are also 3rd party cameras which dont require rear camera to work. We'll need those tested.

That being said, our Kitkat camera blobs really need to be built from source and I'm working on it :)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] Hashcode:
Thanks for the update.

The main issue is that the actual "camera" app requires a rear camera or it will generate the error you're seeing.

I'm looking into ways of fixing this eventually. But, for the most part the camera should work in other apps which don't require the rear camera.

every since i flashed 12.1 this device will not boot up with any other rom ,,it's like nothing i have ever seen,,, i tried to flash the 13 but it wont boot i did all the normal jazz with a factory reset and all of that good stuff ,but it just wont boot ,,the bootloader is unlocked and i have the latest twrp everything flashed fine with no errors ,so im not sure whats up ,,i have one of the devices that had the original safestrap on it and i did a factory reset to flash another rom and safestrap no longer could see the storage partition im guessing any how i was able to recover it and unlock the bootloader and all of that but every since i dropped down from 13 to 12.1 it wont boot anything but the 12.1 it is driving me nuts

any reason you could think of that would cause that i tried and tired for the last hour or so to get it to boot up 13 but it will not so i just reflashed 12.1 and boom fires right up ,,it's like it gets stuck ,,i also noticed that when i try to flash 13 when twrp closes and it reboot a usb driver comes up immediately when it wont boot,, but when i flash 12.1 it does not signal the usb until just before the cm logo pops up ,,,any idea?

The Underground app has been experiencing problems for several weeks on multiple platforms and device types. I'm seeing this on a HDX running Nexus and 5th gen Fire with CM 12.1.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobocher:
I'm trying to install CM13 nightly on my HDX 7.

For the last almost two years I was using nexus rom (android 4.2) but decided to update as one of the app requires a newer android version.

I created new slot in Safestrap and installed the rom there. However the new OS doesn't load, I have the black screen; I waited several minutes just in case.

I still can successfully load my old nexus rom from other slot.

The requirements stay I need an unlocked bootloader. I suppose I have one as I have Safestrap and nexus rom, right? Or some other kind of unlocking is needed extra?

Can the problem be in old Safestrap version (the one I installed about two years ago)? I'm not sure how to update Safestrap and keep the existing rom slots.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:
Prerequisites for Installation

- Must have an unlocked bootloader

- TWRP installed

You need TWRP to be installed if your bootloader is really unlocked.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobocher:
Thank you for your reply.

I read these prerequisites. I'm not sure if they are met on my system, more specifically:

- If I have Safestrap installed and can install and boot other roms (I use nexus rom) - does that mean my booloader is unlocked? (I'm not sure what I did two years ago when I was installing nexus rom).

- To my understanding Safestrap and TWRP is the same thing. Is there a requirement for any specific version of TWRP?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] sergtot:
You could use Nexus ROM for Safestrap without unlocked bootloader.

As far as I remember the possibilityfor bootloader unlock for HDX 7 has appeared at the February, 2015.

So, 2 years you didn't unlock the bootloader.

What version of Safestrap do you have?

If it's 3.72-75, then you can do unlock. If 4.x, then you don't.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
CM13 is not compatible with any version of Safestrap; rather fortunate you didn't brick your device trying to install it. It's likely the bootloader on your HDX can be unlocked (it's not now). Easiest way to tell is report back the version of FireOS running in the stock slot. That will also determine the work effort involved.

Unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and flashing a new rom can be a 1 hour maintenance task or a frustrating weekend adventure depending on your technical expertise and available host environment (Windows, Linux, OSX, etc). Be aware you will not be able to carry apps and personal data forward. Most mainstream apps can be reinstalled from the Play Store (assuming higher level versions exist) or other sources. You will need to copy personal data elsewhere for later retrieval if needed.

I ran the version of Nexus you are using for over a year. Sweet, stable rom albeit getting long in the tooth. The HDX version CM13 is fairly mature but still evolving with a strong team actively involved. Carefully consider your options and timing before jumping in.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] bobocher:
Thank you guys for amazing support :good:

It's Safestrap 3.x (TWRP 2.x) - I don't remember exact numbers. I'll check the version when I'm back at home and write back.

I must be lucky indeed :) First I didn't have enough space for a second slot so I wiped the stock rom slot and installed CM13 there.. CM13 didn't boot but Safestrap worked OK. I then installed stock rom from a Safestrap backup again and it did boot. The slot with nexus rom did work all the time (and still works).

I don't care much about apps as I don't have many. However I would prefer to keep the (virtual) sdcard partition if possible.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Original Android Develop] DB126:
Version of FireOS is the determiner of next steps. Three are three paths with varying amounts of effort/risk. You can only retain the contents of sdcard in the form of a file-based backup. You won't be able to directly restore the partition on CM13...at least not without considerable effort/preparation.

BTW - Safestrap and TWRP are not the same despite sharing a common UI. The latter is a true recovery while the former merely emulates TWRP for the purpose of installing roms and performing basic maintenance. Safestrap can not be used to recover the device with a borked system partition.
