Updated: 18.11.2017

Hello,

finally Amazon released OS 5.1.1 for Fire HDX 8.9 Saturn users and there may be the slight chance that 3rd Gen HDX users will benefit soon, too. Fire OS 5.1.1. is out in the wild for other devices since a while and so the overview of capable "modifications" of 5.1.1 is spread over multiple forums of different (HD) devices and it is not known if they are applicaple for Saturn user or i.e. need to be modified in advance.

That`s why I want to start this thread where I want to collect the capabilities / links for modification of 5.1.1 with Saturn HDX users only! This thread will be modified in the future to list all capabilities. So I need your feedback what you have tested and what is working especially if it is not listed in this post. Please do tell if you modifed something to get it working. And beginners, please do not abuse this thread with general questions to maintain the overview!

Tested and working:

1) Installing GApps without root (no modification needed): From Fire 7 2015 Forum

(18.11.2017) OR use this script to only install PlayStore: http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen/SuperTool where you can also remove OTA updates, etc.

2) After install of PlayStore: Root with Kingroot: EDIT 18.11.2017: Download Kingroot 4.8.0 from http://apkmirror.com (use this old version to make it work to replace with the following script below) and transfer it with the Android File Transfer. Use ES Explorer via PlayStore to open and install the transfered kingroot4.8.0.apk.

Afterwards I replaced KingUser with SuperSU with this little Script: Replace KingUser

3) Change launcher

with

root:

1. Install Nova Launcher (or another launcher) via Play Store

2. Open an adb shell (or use Terminal Emulator via PlayStore)-> su -> pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher

3. Open Nova Launcher again and everything is fine

Untested but maybe possible (volunteers appreciated):

- Change launcher without root: From HD 8 / 10 2015 Forum

Not working

- Installation of custom ROMS like CyanogenMod, Nexus, etc.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] epionier:
Ok, good news! It is possible to root 5.1.1 on HDX Saturn!

Just go to www.kingroot.net with your device and download the latest .apk for Android.

Open and root, it first fails but the second possibility works.

Afterwards I replaced KingUser with SuperSu according to this: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sacto7:
I don't use "gapps"; just installed the "latest" for the 8.9, login/account-manager, framework, play services & play store. Play store didn't work before the 5.1.1 but now works. After the 5.1.1 install, dialogue popped up & said update of play services needed & so I said do it. After selecting "update" & during the update, I realize that the webpage was Google Play store!.

Along with my Play Services update, I got updates for several apps I had side loaded as in Youtube & otherss from Google; later on had some more updates from Google. I didn't install any gapps package, just apps that were not available on Amazon for the Fire 8.9; don't believe that gapps are needed unless one wanted that stuff as it is the access into Google Play Store that is desirable.

Also the ADB command line may not be needed as I did that prior to installing 5.1.1 & don't know if 5.1.1 removed/overrode it.

Anyway, I'm OK with getting my apps gotten from Google will now get auto updated from Google & the stuff from Amazon get updated from Amazon.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] thecrunked:
Thanks for the guide, everything in the tested and working section worked perfectly
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wetwaterdog:
I have the hdx 4th gen 8.9 tablet running latest 5.1.1 and have installed kingroot. Root is working and I have removed a few bloat packages and installed root explorer. I was unable to use adb install for these.

My question is....I am trying to use ADB to install apks, I have turned on the dev mode and set for debugging, My tablet connects, but remains "offline"

I have tried stopping and starting the server with no luck...so I can not sideload apks etc.

I'm wondering if it's the sdk tools, so I went ahead and downloaded the toolkit, installed Java, and now need to install the appropriate android version..lollipop. I also have a firetv stick and have not had to download or install any of the toolkit in order to use adb for installs, so why is the kindle hdx showing me as offline and unable to install. What have I missed? I really don't want to install the sdk packs if I don't need to..(which I didn't need to for the firetv)

Thanks

[MENTION=3908826]wetwaterdog[/MENTION]

Use the ADB Drivers in this package: http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen/Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip They work flawless for me.

Otherwise install Google Play Store with the file above and use the Play Store to install apps. You still can donwload .apk directly via the browser on the device.

Last but not least use the "general" method to transfer .apk files with Android File Transfer App via MacOSX or MTP on Windows: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2840804?hl=en
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] wetwaterdog:
I ended up downloading and installing the SDK toolkit, but I didn't install anything but the amazon driver listed under "extras". adb now works for installs. Right now, I don't need all the other sdk stuff, so that was it...very simple
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johim:
I jsut got a new HDX Saturn, and it is currently on 4.2. Can I update manually to a rootable version of FireOS ?

What would you recommend? I guess no Safetrap for the 4th gen, right - meaning no custom roms.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
- 4.5.5.1 and early versions of 5.x.x (<5.1.2) are rootable w/Kingroot

- no Safestrap or custom roms for 4th gen HDX

- GAaps works better w/FireOS 5.x but you need be careful it doesn't update to 5.1.2 or above; no going back (instant brick)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johim:
Thanks Davey216! So there is no bin to update manually to < 5.1.2 ?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
To my knowledge working links for older 5.x HDX builds have not been maintained (publicly posted) as they were for 4.x. Upgrading is a dicey proposition as going too far will yield an unrootable build with no rollback option. Examples:

- an OTA update will likely bring you first to 4.5.5.1 (rootable) then 5.1.2.1 (unrootable at present)

- grabbing the latest update directly from Amazon will likely score 5.1.2.1 or higher
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johim:
OK I grabbed the 5.1.1 from here and updated to 5.1.1

1) Do you know how to disable OTA (I tried the adb shell pm hide com.amazon.device.software.ota and other similar methods without root) - at the moment it started downloading the 5.1.2 update

2) Is there a way to remove the (almost) downloaded 5.1.2?

3) I installed KingRoot but it needs WIFI to root so I cannot root at the moment (if I turn Wifi the update will be resumed)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
- rebooting device should discard partial 5.1.2 download

- pm hide and similar non-root methods are unreliable

- download/launch kingroot; only connect when read to root

- see other threads for file that needs to be renamed to block OTA
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] johim:
I was looking for the other threads for the OTA block but couldnt remmebr which one works for Saturn. I remember otacert had to be renamed on Apollo.

So, I did something else:

1) downloaded kingroot PC version, connected via adb/usb and rooted without WIFI

2) Installed Super-Sume+Pro+v9.1.9.apk (to replace SuperSU)

3) Updated SuperSU SuperSU_v2.65.apk

4) Installed Root Explorer v4.0.1.apk

5) renamed /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_ to prevent OTA

6) deleted /cache/update-saturn_saturn-541113320-to-542169020.bin

7) reboot

Cheerz!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] FireFlyChef:
I have an HDX 8.9 (4th Gen) running 5.1.2. Is there any way to roll it back to 5.1.1. so I can root?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] DB126:
Perfect! Couldn't have scripted it better. Offline version of Kingroot is the bomb. Glad it all worked out - enjoy.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Nope - rollbacks from 5.1.2 will brick device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] FireFlyChef:
Thanks for the heads-up. :good:
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lolwatpear:
Anyone know how to get 1080p (and 1440p hopefully) youtube? I've only seen build prop changes mentioned for the old hdxs on 4.4.4 by changing it to 5.0.0. Well the build prop is already set to 5.1.1 and 480p is the max res.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] lafester:
sorry wrong thread.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jampr:
I am a little bit confused because you're talking about 5.1.1 download and in URL I see 22.5.4.1 and I don't want to loose root. Is the version 5.1.1 in the file update-kindle-22.5.4.1_user_541113320.bin or do I mix something?

kind regards

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow_fox:
so I've become aware you can install recovery even with a locked bootloader.

Is it possible to boot Cyanogen mod (or other custom roms) and then go back to a stock build and still have access to the keys and other default apps or would this require unlocking the bootloader?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You cannot install cyanogenmod with a locked bootloader

But with an unlocked bootloader, then yes you can backup DRM keys, install CM, then if you want to go back to stock you can restore the DRM keys after re-locking the bootloader

Attached is TWRP v3.0.2-1 for XT907 JBBL that I found on 4PDA forums. I'm putting this up in the General section rather than Development section because this is most obviously not my own work and I'm not a dev (I don't even speak Russian :D)

Again, this is only for JBBL. I'm on KKBL so I have not tested this myself. Flash at your own risk. Don't blame me if flashing this causes problems!

USB-OTG?

Has anyone managed to get this version to Backup/Restore to USB-OTG?

On another phone (and Philz Recovery on XT905, old version) I am able to select a plugged in USB-OTG as the source / destination for a backup. Much easier than keeping space free on my SD card and then transferring backups back and forth to my SD card (3GB takes time to transfer via ADB/WiFi, and unplugging the SD Card between PC and phone is not as handy).

I have tried editing the files (fstab) in /etc/ (while in recovery), and although the files stay the same between reboots, they appear to be ignored :(

The closest I have is by using a script to mount the USB drive at the internal SDCards backup location so that it thinks it is backing up to the internal SDCard, but is actually being re-directed to the USB drive. I also have to turn off the free space check as it checks the space on the SD Card and not the USB. The script I use is below, and have placed it in my /system/bin/ folder (i enter the terminal and type sh /system/bin/usb.sh) to keep it available in recovery (just have to mount system). I have tried including it as a flashable zip, but I think TWRP "cleans up" all the mounts after a zip is flashed, so the change is undone (logging shows it worked within the Zip).

I have the XT907 Razr M. I followed the steps to get my bootloader information, my phone IS rooted, but Motorola says my device doesn't qualify for bootloader unlock despite the fact the XT907 is qualified, from I read. Can I still flash TWRP onto my phone?
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
No.
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
And what about the bootloader? Is that a total no go also?

Sorry, but I don't have an XT907, and I unlocked my bootloader a few years ago now.

Read the thread: https://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432

I note that in the first post, it says

The above or something in the thread will answer all your questions, and would also be the better place to ask any further questions, as they would be all about flashing a custom recovery rather than TWRP itself. It has detailed steps to perform the unlocking, by people more knowledgeable than me.

[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
I also notice a Verizon icon open sometimes, when I connect my phone via USB. I never click it, but I do hover over it and it has something to do with OTA updates, that aren't taking place. If I am on the latest version(s) of everything, why would they try to apply an OTA update?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkabouts:
Did anyone tried to sucessufuly connect a wiimote to our SM-T800?

From what i've read, its known fact that since 4.2 and the change of the bluetooth stack, the connection between wiimotes and android devices was lost. But since our device is more recent than that, the oldest firware we had was already the 4.4.2 Kit Kat, so it was never suported from the beginning.

I've tried several firmwares, from 4.4 to 6, from the stock version to CM12 or AOSP, and specialized software like Bluez IME, Wiimote Controller or BT USB Joystick Center, and never had luck with pairing (I can pair in CM12 with Bluez IME, but the wiimote just blinks, and no software recognize the controller, so it's pretty much useless).

Obviously this is not a serious problem that affects a community, so i guess that there will never be a dev working for a fix, but if anyone was more sucesseful than me, i would love to know what was his solution. And no, "using a different controller", is not a good answer! :p

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heulen:
I don't recall having this problem a few months ago when I tried this the last time so I think it might have been an update that made this happen.

Normally, in the notification bar I get a option to change the connection mode to the pc from "Charge only" to "MTP" or "Camera". However I don't get the notification this time. It will only charge my phone and it doesn't show up in my explorer.

I tried enabling USB debugging but for some reason it is greyed out as seen here:

also when I try to change the connection mode manually through the "storage" menu I get this.

have you try compare the same cable with different phone, if you had another phone, to make sure if its the cable problem or phone problem.

I do have similar problem with OPO original cable and recently a new remax cable, after sometime the usb connect function is stop working. Tried the same cable with my find 5 and its still not functioning. I do still wondering what caused that, because at first both cables usb function works normally.

yes that's right but then the usb cable can't really be the problem.
