After this step adb reboot-bootloader my screen goes black and the device doesn't turn back on if i turn it back on manually I get a whole of of permission denied and other warnings in the cmd window. Basically it can't get to fastboot but it can use adb commands and go to the default system recovery which I've tried going into fastboot from there as well but it fails.... I even restored to factory defaults and tried again and nothing works to get fastboot going.

So...

SuperTool works without a problem in Window 10, correct?

I'm directing a friend on how to install a rom. Going with SuperTool since I want it to be as easy as possible for them. I don't have win10 myself so I can't test, linux for me.
[Fire Android Development] jhebert121:
I don't think i tried for 30 sec. That is the first thing i will do in the morning.
[Fire Android Development] pappasmurfsharem:
"Super Tool" is more or less just a BATCH script that runs the commands for you so you don't have to type them in.

In short yes it works on windows 10.

I had already ran the commands manually, but re-ran the script as a test and it seemed to work fine.
[Fire Android Development] blueberry.sky:
SuperTool includes a set of adb & fastboot drivers, .exes, .dlls, windows installer. No guarantee they play well with every version of windows. SuperTool includes more than just the script.

I'm just asking if anyone has used only SuperTool in win10 successfully. Without installing drivers from anyplace else. If you already ran fastboot &/or adb manually then you installed drivers. They might be different than the ones included with SuperTool.

I have a question, I'm root on 5.0.1, and I'm still wary of changing the stock launcher because I've read of people who bad experiences when they did (maybe unfounded since I don't even remember the details clearly lol), but can I install any launcher and use them and still keep the stock one? In case anything goes wrong. Would backing up the app as an apk would help at all?

Or at least tell if what bothers me the most about the stock launcher can be disabled: swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen prompts up a web browser. God, I hate this xD Or maybe is it something that all Android OS come with now? Hope it's not so.

Also, isn't there a way to use the Kindle app without having the device registered?
[Fire Android Development] Pond-life:
So it will reboot to the bootloader once to do the test, and then show devices in fastboot? But then after rebooting into the Fire OS won't do it again? What do you mean it recognises them again when you unplug it?

I don't mean reinstall the exact same drivers though over and over, I'm sure there was nothing wrong with the actual install process just that those drivers don't seem to function fully with the Fire on your pc.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

I've just got the stock launcher frozen using Titanium. With erm having just looked four other launchers pushed into system. That's a touch excessive methinks. If you've a backup (or download the one in one of the threads) you could push it back onto the device using adb. Or maybe install as an ordinary app

I didn't actually notice the stock launcher did that with the web browser. :o

No way of using the stock kindle app with the device not registered. Have read that some have sideloaded the google play version and got it working. But you still have to sign in to that. :confused:
[Fire Android Development] jhebert121:
When trying to power on the device this morning the low battery icon appeared. I plugged the Fire in and it booted right up. Not sure what happened but all looks well now. Possibly relevant information, the unit I am working on is an HD 8. Does this tool work with the HD 8 or just the 7?

It is not possible to root fire versions 5.3.2.1 and up, but you can remove amazon apps, lock screen ads, install nova launcher and more.
[Fire Android Development] avatarma:
we cannot really remove applications they still remains in system , we only hide theme for the user , without root we can only install google play nova launcher but with little issues from some users.

but we can gain about 700mb of free space if we downgrade from 5.6.x to 5.4.0 and we gain in speed too.

all there were tested in my tablet 5th gen without problem

How do you re enable system updates, just run the block ota updates again?
[Fire Android Development] DB126:
Depends how OTA updates were blocked. If you're looking to update it would probably be easier to simply sideload the desired build which will also enable OTA updates going forward.
[Fire Android Development] platypoid:
Are you talking about enabling Amazon official updates ? if so you probably want to install stock Amazon operating system back to original . If you do that it will then update to latest version of Amazon and you won't ever be able to root again or use the alternative operating systems. Just so you know - if you give up what you got you will be stuck with the newest version of Amazon and can't go back again from what I understand.
[Fire Android Development] kywildcat:
well i thought i just disabled the system update apk via titanium, but i went back in there to re enable it and didn't see it. So maybe it was disabled through the super tool. But I'm on a stock build and stock recovery. Would a factory reset via recovery work? Far as i know, I'm only rooted on OS 5.1.1. Having some wifi connection issues and just want to factory reset to see if it'll fix it.

Thanks for the help [MENTION=5263418]platypoid[/MENTION] [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION]
[Fire Android Development] DB126:
Certainly worth a shot. Keep in mind reenabling OTA updates will likely yield an immediate FireOS upgrade and the loss of root (root capability).

Amazon Fire HD 8 2015 - how to get rid of Fire OS

Guys, sorry if this isn't the right place. I've been busy reading lots of post in different forums here at XDA, but might have more questions than answers as I go thru. I just couldn't find a definitive answer to my simple question:

Is there any way to install a "pure" (or close to that) Android version on an Amazon Fire 8 HD 2015 (5th Gen) tab running Fire OS 5.6.3.4?

I've got this tab as a gift and it's very sluggish with the original firmware. Unfortunately It updated himself at the first time I connected it on my Wifi network. It had 5.1.2 originally, and went to 5.3.6.4 (seems like it is in fact 5.6.3.4). I couldn't prevent it, because I didin't know what I know now from reading lots of posts.

Now I want to get rid of Fire OS and have any other Android running in the tab. It can be CM or anything else that will make the tab usable to read magazines and PDF files in general, as well as surf the web, mainly for reading purposes (news, etc).

I'm considering hardware methods as well! If I have to open the tablet, desolder the NAND and flash it externally, I would do it! I just can't find the correct information and compatible files for this generation.

I see a lot of info for the HD 7 model, but not for the 8 HD! It also seems that the 8 HD and the 10 HD models from 2015 are the same hardware, and share the same firmwares (and possible methods)?

As it seems from my reading so far, this 5.6.3.4 firmware is rootable only on the newer generations due to the MTK bug that allows rooting from another route?

Anyways, thanks in advance for any help!
[Fire Android Development] DB126:
If the hardware is indeed identical between 5/6/7th gen devices then the MTK exploit should give you root. Unfortunately, no custom ROMs for this platform ATM.

[Fire Android Development] Michajin:
Well, you should get a live linux disk to boot from and follow the directions to set up linux drivers. Download the files amonet for ford (fire 5 2015 right?). Try the easy way... run the bootrom script and you should see waiting for bootrom - From the OP of that thread;

"If you're lucky and have an old preloader (Up to FireOS 5.3.2, thanks MontysEvilTwin, you can just hold the left volume button while plugging the device in.

If you're on a newer preloader, there are two options:

Open the device and short the pin marked in the attached photo to ground while plugging in.

(Only 5th gen) Downgrade to 5.0.1 firmware via adb sideload in Amazon recovery, then proceed to use the left volume button to enter boot-rom."

You may see remove short to continue, just hit enter (this is for the hardware unlock method) - i would recommend downloading and placing the ford rom or your device (and gapps if you want them). you can follow the directions to install the rom once you get past the fastboot step script. After the bootrom step, it should boot you into unlocked fastboot to flash TWRP, then boot into twrp, from there follow the rom install instructions...

[Fire Android Development] Echoecho33:
You don't need to be rude.

Some of use are just learning these things today instead of all ready knowing them from years ago.

Forums exist to share information, and some people need certain information at later times than others.

Being dyslexic and not computer or programming savy should not deter anyone from trying things. If someone needs more help, and is asking for it (especially on a public forum) if you can offer it in a way they can understand you should. And if they are not understanding you and asking you to explain it in another way so they can understand it, then you should. If you find their questions dumb, repetitive, inexperienced, or mispelled bad grammer, you have the option of ignoring that post.

I would rather be part of an inclusive community of knowledge sharing than an exclusive one of knowledge hoarding.

Wish me luck, if I "brick" my device in this attempt I will post again asking who wants a FREE one.

If you don't hear from me again assume everything worked.

My youngest son wants an iPod Touch for Christmas - and due to some unfortunate circumstances i just don't have the cash to drop on a device that he may not take care of anyway. He has a Samsung Tab3 7" kids edition (orange one) currently and uses it often but it's not exactly portable and mom is tired of being a sherpa with it in her purse.

I have an old HTC Evo 4g from sprint that I want to turn into a wifi only tablet for the time being. Eventually i may try to get it over to Boost or similar but for now here's where I'm at.

Sprint network flash, current android version 2.3.5, baseband version 2.15.00.01.15, kernal 2.6.35.10-g8b16b68

build 5.07.651.6

software 5.07.651.6

browser WebKit/533.1

no PRI or PRL loaded currently - this phone is deact from sprint when I upgraded the device

Again, i'm an utter newb when it comes to messing with the guts and OS of the phone.

I intend on putting a 32 or 64 Gb SD card in it for him to store apps and photos/music.

I'll use one of the many intermediary apps to allow him to video chat with his buddies who are IOS families (gag...)

can someone please steer me in the right direction to reduce some of this devices functionality and possibly steer me to a functional ROM for what i'm trying to do? I've seen a bunch of ROMs available, but all of the lists fail to mention what funtionality these ROMs represent.

Ubersonic is a good wifi, just installed it last night and so far so good. You can turn on Wifi and use it like a tablet, but I didn't see any way to control/turn on/off the regular phone antenna.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayd4wg:
my impression of ubersonic is that it basically shut down all the phone antennas and as an effect of this diables or dis-functions (is that a word?...it is now :) ) the GPS. I'm hoping GPS still works afterwards. I just can't seem to figure out how to flash this ROM with the tools I have. I found a zip mirror of ubersonic - do i just load this into the root of the SD drive and use the recovery console on the phone to flash rom from SD?

I also have read multiple places that I should partition my SD card as well. I get the principal, but i'm a bit aprehensive to move forward with this. My impression of how this is done is to copy all contents of my SD card to the PC, then using the recovery console go ahead and partition, then put the PC copy of the contents back on the SD...what does this really accomplish? should the roms be in a different drive partition? Apps in another? how do i manage this?

Also, with regard to partitioning, i need to make a nandroid backup of the current OS now, and save that but i cant find this cleanly documented either. Look, i know i'm getting into this whole rooting thing late, but now i'm more than intrigued...seems there's a LOT that can be done with the phone and the right tools.
