A quick question and I am more looking for a 2nd opinion really I have done everything exactly in the OP (Except flash the CM12) back to Fireos now rooted (hopefully) if I install the gapps via sideload for youtube, play store etc will it work on the fireos in the OP and also which gapps do I need? sorry for the noob question but bricked 2 of these and I don't think Argos will replace another :D

Does this method work for 4.5.5.2 or has someone figured out a way by now? Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] flintman:
Here is the location to download <Mod Edit: Link removed. Please don't redirect members to other mobile forums. Thanks!> I just released today. Its not 100% but works. You will need to factory reset, install, install gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] bobcat131:
I flashed it via TWRP and it works fine, but wish it had root. Now I am looking for how to root and install gapps. Any suggestions ?

GAPPS installs and works without root, as does youtube. Used open_gapps-arm-7-pico-20170412.zip

A BIG THANKS FOR DEV THIS ROM. :)

YOUTUBE but no sounds. Needs sound fix.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
Works for me flintman ... installed with gapps pico, I like the minimal system apps approach that's a big improvement for the 8GB model I have gives much more space.

Thanks, look forward to future updates ... J.

hi!

I did the process until "fastboot -i 0x1949 continue" which didn´t work.

Now i guess the device is bricked until i get my fasboot cable back from a friend?

I am not sure what went wrong, it flashed the boot.img but continue didn´t do anything. Now i get to the stock recovery that lets me recovery reset but it´s stuck with "kindle fire" on the screen. Is there aynthing i can do without the fastboot cable to start over? I used the unsafe method to get to fastboot.

thx in advance and if there is no help i need to wait^^

PS: It isn´t showing in device manager anymore.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
HI, That sounds like driver problem, check out this page, hope it helps things. ... J

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] purplet:
Thank you for this link. I suspected drivers and did a lot of google, found a lot of stuff but this is better than what i found. Ill try out later and worst case i need to wait to get my cable back to force fastboot i guess.

Just to get this right, if it is stuck in boot it is still accessible through fastboot?

//okay i tried. Uninstalled what i had installed and used the drivers from the link. I am still getting virtually nothing. If i shut the tablet down and start it using power+"-" i get the usb connected sound once, device manager is refreshing but nothing appears.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
I'm still suspecting driver problems, if it's installed correctly is should show in Device Manager similar to my screenshot SS1, some times windows can be a problem too, if nothing shows try a reboot. You may need to clean up USB drivers, sometimes non appropriate drivers can be an issue Take a look here .........

http://www.thewindowsclub.com/device-cleanup-tool-windows

Another issue that has caused problems is ... when you unzip the downloaded exploit file, you should find that you have 4 X .img files + a folder called exploit inside which is another .img file hijack.img, this needs to be moved to root with the other .img files see SS 2.

No other ideas, I'm no expert see how you go ... J.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] purplet:
I removed the device manually and uninstalled drivers when cleaning up.

I can get to recovery mode let it factory reset but that´s it.

I tried on another pc, same result. I get usb connected sound and right after usb disconnected sound and that´s it, no device there. The cable i am using was at least working before but i tried different ones. No change.

If there is no trick that i missed i need to wait till i either visit my buddy or he comes over to my town next week to force the thing to fastboot mode via cable and start fixing.

Ill keep the thing with the "exploit" files in mind, it´s hard to grasp why a file that has 40pages of views has such a mistake, if it is the problem, in there but i am too late to realise^^
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
Sorry to be persistent ... not sure if you're seeing it in device manager, if not it's still got to be a driver problem, cant think what to suggest.

Re. the exploit file ... cant say if that was a mistake or not, it may have been necessary to put it in a folder for some reason. I don't know enough to comment on that, it has caught some people out. ... J
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] purplet:
When i did the fastboot flashing i had the device installed as something i forgot the exact name of but it worked. I had some trouble getting the tablet to be seen thats why i think that your guess is pretty good, the flashing not working was a driver problem.

I am not at all good at the android flashing stuff, i did my share of flashing and i roughly understand what´s happening so i guess the boot stuck is because i set the boot parameters to go fastboot mode and then the flashing of twrp got wrong. No problem once i have my cable back or maybe i get my solder iron out and make a makeshift one of the kindle cable my wife destroyed and flash twrp again.

The question in my mind now is why the device isnt being detected. Well, with bootloader destroyed the system cannot start and there is no adb. And somehow it isn´t going to fastboot again so that´s that. Now i don´t know weather the drivers are fine and it is simply in a state to not get to fastboot ever, nothing i can do or weather there is some trick i could do. I guess there isnt, its a "hard" brick but that´s why there is fastboot cables and i have one, used it to save a couple of friends nexus7 bricks which is why i am confident to fix the tablet. I got it to tinker around with, i don´t need it right now so i can wait..but then again i never soldered a fastboot cable yet maybe ill do that tomorrow evening:D
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
From your comments I'd say leave leave it alone until you get the fastboot cable back, if it doesn't get into fastboot automatically with that, then you are probably hard bricked.

Waiting is your best option for now. Best of luck ... J
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] purplet:
Got my cable at sunday, fixed it today. I am pretty sure that i was simply unaware of the exploit file being in another folder working too fast with background "noise" which caused the trouble. Tinkering android without fastboot cable sucks:D

Thx for your help, the links that you provided were absolutely usefull for later tinkering/helping friends/family with their ****z (if there was a 300€ iphone .. that would save me so much time and effort:D).

I've been using this ROM since it was posted ... only issues found ...

1. Gallery crashes on every boot, not really a problem since the device has no camera, and device (8gb model) has limited storage anyway, and if I want to shoot photos I use a camera not a tablet

2. I find when the device has been stood active overnight that it doesn't wake up easily, oftener than not the power menu appears, and a reboot does the trick, so not too big a problem, and could be down to some local setting (no idea just what would do that).

I find too, that the device streams video well, but the limited capacity is a problem ... Jack

corrected process for FireOS 455004220 update

Yes, if you want to have a working twrp recovery. (I recommend the recovery provided in this exploit, as the 3.x.x versions on twrp.me are laggy)

The problem is at the end of the process; after booting into the operating system:

I found the new route shell would take with this corrected process:

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/media/0/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery"

-allow su on device-

adb push exploit.img /sdcard/exploit.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/media/0/exploit.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/exploit"
adb shell rm /sdcard/recovery.img /sdcard/exploit.img

What's strange, is after pushing the image files to the sdcard via adb, they don't show up in windows explorer through mtp, but can see them on the device using es file manager. Someone else posted that the fastboot cable didn't work, but had some magic usb cable that worked with the old instructions. I tried a slew of different cables using the old code, and nope. Weird paranormal stuff begins to happen after running the same codes long enough; 13th time is the charm.:eek:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jachol:
I've flashed the new ROM OK, but nothing more (haven't had much time) , as before gallery crashes on every boot, and also as before I find if left switched on overnight it's

difficult to wake up, as before a reboot sorts that one out. ... J

Im working on them 8). finished brightness today. I have a good list to fix up now that we have some testers. I have been very focused on the audio speakers and others to follow. I maintain a few devices with limited time so ill get to them soon. I don't tend to head over to xda and the only reason im here is because i heard from one of the testers about some logs. If you all can post in the forum that i'm using to support it will help me.

Thanks for tested and anyone can submit patches if they like to help me out fixing up this old but surprisingly fast device.

yep unplug device, plug back in and restart the terminal then re run the command , for some reason mine did that too then the command would run fine and it would work for me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] brunoparedes:
So, I was having problems just after sideloading the ROM, SUPERSU and GAPPS. After device finish its initial (sometimes long time) boot, I couldn't push the recovery and exploit. I could use the device but I had no recovery boot (only the red triangle one).

I checked if my device was ok but there was no showing any number when I used "adb devices" (just was blank, no error) using fastboot cable. Went to device manager and noticed that my device was not being shown there. So, I tried a normal usb cable as other post said here. Device now was conected but with Generic ADB interface driver. I didn't try to run the codes at this moment, cause I was using Nexus ADB interface driver before. So, I uninstalled Generic ABD (also checked box to uninstall driver), unplugged the cable, reconnected the cable. Device Manager automatically installed Nexus ADB interface driver. I run the codes and now I have a recovery boot!

One other thing is I didn't sideloaded kindle ROM. First I got into TWRP as said on the first steps of the original first post, then I installed Ev-nighlies last version (downloaded previously at its site), then sideloaded superuser and 7.1 pico gapps. Then I performed the steps above.

Thanks a lot!

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem format hangs forever

Hi,

Initially I was able to root my kindle Fire HD 3rd generation following the steps mentioned here, after that I decided to installed custom rom ev_soho-7.1.2-nightly-2017.11.03.zip, which also got installed fine, then I decide to load Gapps pico that is got loaded also, then I open up play store and tried to install youtube and system got hanged, I rebooted forcefully and again tried to install youtube, this time the screen become black and so I tried to hard reboot again, but it is not booting at all, I went to recovery mode i.e. twrp and found that none of the partition cannot be mounted and all of them are zero size, so I tired to restore the partition by fastboot -i 0x1949 oem format but it hangs forever. Please advise, it seems by kindle is bricked now :(

EDIT: Ok, it's failed on the hijack image flashing anyway, still any fix?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] freshmike:
Yes! I had the same issue. The problem seems to be GAPPS probably with the size. The latest pico might be still too big. This is what I did:

- followed instruction from 1st. post but flashed the latest image (4.5.5.3) from Amazon

- Did NOT flash GAPPS only SuperSu

- Booting into system everything was working.

- Now followed advice to remove some stock app from /system/priv-apps to make space

"I deleted [ moffice, weather, and the android.mail.apk ] "

(https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/root-how-to-install-google-play-store-t3339865)

- rebooted into Recovery and flashed latest pico (20180201) now.

- reboot and you should have a working Play Store!

Hope that helps:good:

Stuck at Fastboot

I ran

And now my fire hd 3rd gen flashes a red screen then only shows fastboot logo. I can't get past this screen. Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] KittenSauce:
You probably figured this out by now, but that's the point. What that command does is erases the "boot" partition on your Kindle, which is obviously required for the device to boot. Because the Kindle can't load that partition, it is forced to load fastboot. After executing the commands and arriving at the fastboot screen, you are supposed to continue with the guide, starting with "Run [linebreak] Code:" directly after the statement saying you should plug your Kindle into your computer using a fastboot cable (which you can substitute with a normal USB cable, if you issued the commands above to get to fastboot).

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] FazPhantom:
Head into the apps section of the Fire's home screen and look for the Google settings app (gray gear cog with Google logo) and see if you can find an option to sign out there.

(Edit: I don't think this will let you sign out your account from the device but it's worth a try)

hi guys, im new to developing and dipping my toes with this device but im struggling quite a bit, i have followed this tutorial with a few driver issues etc but made alot of progress. all was going well until the final section.

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery"

adb push exploit.img /sdcard/exploit.img

adb shell rm /sdcard/recovery.img /sdcard/exploit.img

my device rebooted, i could not however get past the wifi connection screen. there was only the back button at the bottom that takes me back to the language selection screen. i powered down my device to attempt to get back in to twrp but the screen just displays the kindle fire logo and will not load in to recovery. i am able to get to fast boot with a factory cable. any help avaliable would be greatly appreciated. i do have a full copy of the terminal session (excuse the many errors etc) if someone is willing to look it over and point me in the right direction. many thanks.
