Hey All,

Using this thread i have upgraded my Kindle Fire HD from cm11 to cm13.0 along with the mini gapps pack, everything seems to be working fine till the point I decided to root the device, i have to as i have deleted everything before making an upgrade, so I downloaded the chainfire supersu zip file on the device and flashed it using twrp, Boom post that my device went into the endless loop, and the worst part it is not even showing up the kindle fire blue color, it is still stuck with the orange one, I wont say it is stuck it is blinking and I have tried manually to go into the recovery mode using the volume up key, but as it is not showing the blue color it will not go.

Post that I tried using the fastboot command, and that is also not accepted by kindle, as it only starts up with the kindle Fire orange icon and it is going in the endless loop.

Any thoughts, comments on how to get out from this situation would be much appreciated, I love this device man, and I do not wanna brick it in this way....so please help me with a solution.

Thanks,

andy

Just went trough the same situation. You need to use a fastboot cable to get to fastboot mode and flash bootloader again:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] manicpanic:
I did the exact same thing. Ended up using my fastboot cable and having to restore my backup using fastboot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Hello

With CM based / now Lineage OS builds, you don't need to flash a SuperSU ZIP.

enable developer options, and go in to root option. There is a bug, you have to change it twice.

change it to apps/adb , exit , change it to something else, then change it back to apps/adb for it to stick.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] qtpcert:
Thanks timurg, but to my utter surpise , i had couples of cables which I was using with this tablet and it was taking me to fastboot, but with the same cable it is not taking me to fastboot.

thing that I am trying to get into the fast boot is :-

With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

Am I missing something here, let me know if there is any other way by which I can get into fastboot mode..

Thanks,

andy

So I need help, I've tried everything, I was able to flash the Rom and Gapps to my kindle, the only problem that I have is I can't get Google Play Games to install. Not just this rom but other Roms as well. I've wiped everything, formatted the drive and have even tried to log out and back into google.

Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it. I'm able to install other apps from the store but not this one. I keep getting the error code -505.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
[MENTION=5032072]DirtyDobbs[/MENTION]

- Issue with some devices, custom roms, gapps, ect. (Mentioned here and there in other device and rom threads.)

Most apps will install fine, others give an error. (example Play Games -505 error)

You can normally get around most play store errors (including 505) by installing the .apk from your favorite file manager.

- Download the apk from a different site. (a lot of users mention apkmirror)

- Pull the apk from a different device that is running the app. (this is what I normally do.)

With google apps, like play games, you have the option to install them when flashing opengapps.

(If you use a gapps-config file. :) )

Thanks timurg, I have to make a fastboot cable, i will give it a try, but before that I have to buy one solder.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trinaldi:
For CM14.1, should I use Open gapps 6?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
No, 7.1
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trinaldi:
Thanks.

I'll try it then!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trinaldi:
I installed the LineageOS image and I must say, it feels faster than the CM12.1 I had. Congratulations.

Just having some troubles with SuperSU, I might have to flash it =/

My two cents:

* If possible, try to remove things related to a typical cell phone (calls, sms, and such), maybe that's linked with the contacts and that's why you opt to leave it as it is.

There's no other thing I can't think of useful right now, also I mostly use my Kindle for reading. But I'm glad to give you feedback.

Great work, really!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
DO NOT Flash SuperSU, see the several posts above.

enable developer options, go into the root optons, change it to something,

exit settings, go back to root options and change it to what you want.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trinaldi:
Yeah, I learned the hard way. Good thing I have a Fastboot cable and a folder with all the `img"s

So, if everyone is reading - please follow [MENTION=5561010]mikeataol[/MENTION] instructions and DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU you'll get stuck in a boot loop!

EDIT: For everyone in doubt, I was able to get `LineageOS` and `Open GApps 7.1` perfectly on my Kindle. I bought it on 2012, I'm not really sure which version it is (well, for all purposes is a _tate_). The performance seems impressive for such a new OS. OP did a great job.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] droidboy29:
You need to purchase a fastboot cable its a USB cable that's modified to boot your kindle into fastboot mode as soon as you plug it into your computer. You can find them on eBay for a few bucks. Once you do that you have to reflash stock images manually or there are some programs that you can run that will flash them for you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
No need to go back to stock, just flash the boot img from the rom.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hurrand:
Is the issue with stuttering gone? I fancy another go at this
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
No, nothing has changed AFAIK.... There hasn't been a newer release.

I usually can get the video I want to run by clearing all recents, using a task killer, or if nothing else works, rebooting.

But even then the video may play incorrectly.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rosswaa:
Just installed lineage and everything is working great except I can't download anything and apps can't use the storage

Comes up as missing SD card or similar

In a file explorer though I can see everything fine as I should

Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Have you rebooted at least once?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rosswaa:
That could help haha I did just go into storage options and disable and re enable the permissions and worked. Awesome ROM so far

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] JustIceForSake:
Hello,

my tablet says it's a Fire 5th generation in the options so can I install this rom? I'm still using Amazon's original ROM, would you recommend switching to this (or other ROM that you can point out) over it (how is performance and stability compared to Amazon's OS)?

Anything important I should consider before making the switch?

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
This ROM is not for your tablet.

Its only for the HD 7" with camera and an HDMI port, released in 2012

There is a forum for newer models here: https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire

Does HDMI work?

Does HDMI Out work... with ROM 14.1 and camera fix that works with cm13 is that working cm14 as well?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
HDMI does not work on the Lineage build, my recollection is that it also didn't work on CM14 version.

I haven't tried any camera fixes so I cant tell you if they work or not.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] alexander_32:
Possible

(not tested yet) fix for camera

kernel_fix_1.zip

Use it at your own risk

Follow these instructions STRICTLY or do nothing at all:

1. Download Lineage 14.1 (or AICP, RR 5.8) ROM

2. Replace files from fix to ROM zip file respectively

3. Flash ROM + Open GApps

4. Wipe dalvik cache & cache

5. Reboot

IF this method fails, try to flash boot.img from fix:

6. Let me know about the results.

I need to know if camera works (try Open Camera app, TURN ON ALL THE PERMISSIONS), YouTube behavior (stuttering sound effects), your observations and MOST IMPORTANTLY: bring here logcats, kmsg, recovery logs, everything that helps.

My laptop lacks the power to make a full Nougat build. IF YOU HAVE A POWERFUL PC (4 + Cores, 8 GB of RAM, 100+ GB of free space, Ubuntu 14.04+ (or other Linux system)) and desire to help CONTACT ME. Good luck.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skalnas:
Great to see you back Alexander, flashed the lineage build last night, love how smooth it is! Only issue I found so far is after a few minutes stuttering in Pandora while playing music.

Update: Flashed updated kernel via fastboot and caused a bootloop. Had to restore boot via twp.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] alexander_32:
Did you replace modules?

There are some real differences in transi's repos and mine. It really sucks. The proper test is to make a build, then flash it so then I can make real conclusions. It could just be an odd, mismatch or whatever.

And by the way, I flashed the latest Lineage build and got a bootloop for some reason recently. I didn't change anything at all, just made a full wipe then flashed ROM + GApps, made dalvik + cache wipe. Weird.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skalnas:
No, i flashed new boot image via fastboot while having lineage installed. I did not modify the lineage zip file with the new boot. Perhaps a clean install with modified boot image will boot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] alexander_32:
Thanks for clarifying. :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
[MENTION=6677866]alexander_32[/MENTION]

Gave it a try with lineage-14.1-20170101-UNOFFICIAL-tate and RR-N-v5.8.0-20161229-tate-unofficial.

With and without gapps. (Open and Dynamic gapps.)

kernel_fix_1 boot.img and libs = Boot loop.

- Between 3 and 12 minutes depending on rom and what number reboot it was in. (adb logcat just sat at - waiting for device - )

Flashing either rom's boot.img immediately solved the boot loop but, no luck with camera.

(Tried Camera MX, Open Camera and Snap Camera.)

Using repacked rr only, no gapps, on the third reboot, about 8 mins. in, I plugged in my fastboot cable. 4 mins. later it rebooted into fastboot. I fastbooted recovery (swapped cables) and adb pulled /cache and /proc/last_kmsg (I was surprised, this was the only time last_kmsg was there.)

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gzdeh60autb1s8r/AAD8nOy0VeYdpiAISLc7U5O2a?dl=0

Not sure if this will help, since I had to fastboot recovery first. (Button combo wasn't working with any attempt this afternoon.)

Edit.

Note : /data/tombstones was empty everytime.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] alexander_32:
Thank you. I'll find time to study this problem next week.

Also, we need to make a full build to make a final verdict on this.

Hopefully, it can make a difference. Thanks again for your testing. :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] alexander_32:
I'll do my own testing (all available Nougat ROMs) on Friday, but I need someone to make a build (tate only) from this source

https://github.com/alexander3244/android_local_manifest/blob/cm-14.1/local_manifest.xml

Without this, it's likely nothing new will be discovered and you'll continue to run Nougat ROMs with broken Camera, YouTube, Bluetooth etc.

"Good for you".

if you read this thread I think you will see your solution....

You need to purchase a fastboot cable its a USB cable that's modified to boot your kindle into fastboot mode as soon as you plug it into your computer. You can find them on eBay for a few bucks. Once you do that you have to reflash stock images manually or there are some programs that you can run that will flash them for you.

No need to go back to stock, just flash the boot img from the rom.

I am still back on CM 12.1-20160710-NIGHTLY-tate and before I muck it up, can anyone tell me if they are able to stream, over HDMI to tv? As soon as I connect via HDMI to TV to live stream youtube or from KODI player, the video freezes. I can watch youtube or KODI on the device. I can play video files already downloaded to my tate over HDMI to tv without any issues. I get a handshake from the device to tv to use the browser. It's just the darned streaming issue.

ps SU - after flash and boot rom need enable root in dev. options and install SuperSU or Magisk from Play Store
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trulyparis:
Hi installed Magisk and ended up in a soft brick when rebooting device. Lucky for me I have a fastboot cable so I can start over. Anyone else had this problem? Is Magisk compatible with this device. Any thoughts on what I may have done wrong would be useful.

Thanks

I install SuperSU from play store. Run SuperSU, says installation success, reboots and then gets stuck on boot animation. Restored backup from twrp. Anyone have SuperSU working on this ROM? I don't think there are any recommended flashable superuser zips for this ROM? Don't like the built in root BC keep getting privacy guard notifications
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] theistus:
magisk modifies the boot.img, which can cause issues on some ROMs. On my LG G3 for instance, I had to run a script from within recovery to "bump" the partition so it passes LG's security check.

I haven't tried installing Magisk on this ROM, as it seems perfectly fine without it and wasn't sure about the recovery process if it borked anything., but I would think the problems are very similar.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] hurrand:
I'm getting update binaries error running SuperSU. Won't update. Should I try flashing zip?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skalnas:
Let me know if you find a flashable zip that doesn't cause a bootloop or leaves you stuck at boot animation. I tried the latest 2.79 sr3 and also a SuperSU that installs in system mode, both caused me to restore system. I would suggest having a twrp backup and fastboot cable in case you softbrick.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] trulyparis:
The r25 most recently posted by transi seems to perform well. However some users including myself have had problems with Supersu and magisk so I would avoid using those and just enable the standard root (if not already enabled as default) in dev options.

The CPU speed in this build is 1200MHz by default .

As soon as I connect the hdmi to tv while live streaming video or connect hdmi then try to stream live video, the unit freezes.

I can stream the same videos if already downloaded.

Has this problem been solved in later roms or is Marshmallow on tate able to live stream?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
I would have thought CM 12.1 worked properly.

other Android 5 Lollipop roms I have tried work fine through the HDMI cable, though some require you to connect the cable at boot time and leave it connected, may choke if you connect while the tablet is running

none of the Android 7 Nougat roms Ive tried seem to have HDMI drivers implemented yet.

I'm using the OMNI Rom 5.1 on one tablet with no issues, CM11 on another, one that's called Vanir 5.0.2 on another for HDMI output.

my notes tell me that CM13 worked, but overall performance was bad in my opinion, I stopped using it

My notes tell me the Bliss 6.01 and Omni 6.01 ROMS worked for HDMI , but like CM13 I didn't like the overall experience, video performance in particular seemed to be a problem for me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] juicer52:
I just tried it again.

Can connect to tv via hdmi.

Can browse internet on tv via hdmi.

Can play downloaded videos on tv over hdmi to tv.

Cannot live stream youtube videos over hdmi.

Cannot live stream KODI movies over hdmi.

I can browse through youtube videos or KODI videos but as soon as I click on play, unit crashes or goes back to home screen.

Both youtube and KODI videos play fine on the Kindle Fire.

What am I missing?

Everything else seems to be working flawlessly on CM12.1

Should I downgrade to CM11? What improvements of CM12 will I lose?

What version would you suggest?

Thank you Mike and digimax! Downgrading to CM 11 worked like a charm.

I have spent months off and on monkeying around with CM12 then CM13 hoping for a solution.

Live streaming video over hdmi to tv remained elusive.

However, IT WORKS GREAT ON CM11

I doesn't appear that anything was compromised going from CM12 down to CM11 but this is one feature that I wanted to work.

How to SuperSU

Can we get a little clarification on what it takes to get SuperSU working in this rom?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Lineage (CM) based OS's don't require the SuperSu user app to be installed.

enable developer options

go to Root Access .

change it to something then change it back to apps and adb. (there's a long standing bug that requires you to change it then change it back, I assume the bug still persists)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] wyrmeth:
Do not use magisk it modifies the bootloader I made the mistake and it ****ed up my second bootloader. I would stick with the built in su app in the developer options. Oh and if you are going to experiment take a full backup via USB to kindle first aid first. And of course have a factory/fastboot cable to hand
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] bmckenna:
i'm in this boat now.

installed lineage unofficial 20170309 found on here, kept pushing me to install magisk, first time it wouldn't install, then it updated from market...installed successfully this morning and now when device is rebooting it just stays on kindle fire gold screen. volume button doesn't work to get into recovery and adb devices returns nothing. nothing in device manager to even indicate the computer is seeing the kindle fire.

guess i'm in the market for a fastboot cable :/
