Hi all,

Newbie here, sorry if I am missing something important, but I just got around to rooting and bootloadering my kindle and as such installed the build posted here for lineage os 14.1 the 07-17 build.

However I noticed some problems on my system, for instance I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶m̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶n̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶s̶l̶i̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶, and there is other graphical strangeness going on, like trying to change the color profile settings under adaptive display results in glitchy screen flashing and what sort of looks like GPU failure artifacting when dragging the sliders, other things related to the color and such as the "invert colors" option simply doesn't work, and rarely the screen flashes glitchilly.

I searched the thread using the little search bar at the top and didn't see much mention of "brightness" or much relating to screens (though again, newbie here so if I missed something forgive me ;p). Is this just some sort of error on my end? I tried doing a full wipe and reinstalling, but it didn't seem to change much of anything. I didn't install gapps, but I don't think that's what's causing it.

Any help is appreciated

P.S.

The screen does dim itself before sleep so I know it can dim, and I have managed to install a screen filter (red moon) which works fine for dimming so this issue isn't urgent, more of a curiosity.

P.P.S

Turns out that all I needed to do was disable "adaptive brightness" to get the brightness to work, I could swear I had already tried that but maybe I needed to reset my kindle because that works now, still can't get the rest to work though :/

Has anybody got a copy of the rom that is not on mediafire as the download link isn't working
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] arsedars:
I only have the lineage OS 14.1 from the media fire, the 20170717 build, if you want that one I've put it up on mega here

mega.nz[slash]#!lqgEnDKR!za_GeC-5HsnEkpEnz8yU3D-iKjCioLIpLH0--n4R-f0 (replace the [slash] with /).

If you want to check if the dll is good the sha-256 hash of the zip is 51092B7B338346C07E29737C4330F5B052C305A4C5DEB0554E0A758A686658C2 . That is, assuming my file isn't itself corrupt.

Though I would suggest first disabling your adblocker and trying the mediafire again, I think they've (mediafire) put in some sort of anti-adblock sofware into effect recently (or there's some problem on the blocker's end). Couldn't get the page to work myself until I stopped ublock and then it suddenly worked.

How do I find the links to the ROM versions?

I am a bit of a noob to android flashing. I have completed it using links form other walk through, but I don't seem to understand where or how the roms are listed within these threads (XDA threads). Am I missing something or do I need to go through all of the threads, or are they organized somewhere?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Well within a device, the rom creators usually create a thread in "Android Development" for the device....

within the thread would be links to the rom download somewhere.

in this case:

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/7-development

if you go up a level you'll see sections for

General

Help & Troubleshooting

Q&A etc...

so, to look for various rom's for the device , they are generally in a thread in the Android Development section.

So yeah, You just scan threads to see what's there....

transi1 I need to talk with you.

Hello transi1

I wanted to ask you something. I really love this rom and I appreciate the work you do. I have an issue I would like to bring to your attention:

I have a daughter and I used to use the micro hdmi port on the Kindle Fire HD 7" and connect the cord to the TV to stream her shows.

I have noticed with the lineageOS 14.1 roms they do not have support for hdmi on the kindle fire hd

Will you please help me with this and how I can maybe bypass this or fix it completely? it would be very much appreciated.

Hope to hear from you or anyone that can help me with this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] transi1:
Hi,

I tried build cm12 but it's needs jdk7 and my Linux don't support it. Try cm12 or liqudsmooth4 for HDMI support.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jibbyjab:
Yeah, it's just I have a dilemma because your roms work so well and I find the older (4.4.4) roms to be very laggy and slow.

Would it be possible if I donated you some money, maybe one of your friends that doesn't have a linux computer can compile what is needed for it to work?

there's just no other possible way?

After 4 years of running CM11 on my KFHD I decided to try this build. As its been so long I'm running across a few problems.

I can boot into TWRP and have wiped the device, however

1. I'm running TWRP 2.6 so doesn't seem to be able to format the /data folder correctly - seems I will need to upgrade

2. As I am now using a new PC running windows 10 I am no longer able to access the file system of the device to transfer images. Which drivers will I need to use with windows 10? I have installed Android SDK but I'm not seeing anything.

Many thanks in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] concoc:
what do you mean "not see anything" ? Do you have access to fastboot.exe ?

Thanks, managed to adb push and install from TWRP.

Strangely the push only worked with version 2.6, once upgraded to 3.0.0.0 I had to adb sideload lineagos and gapps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skunk_michi:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Camera and HDMI port haven't worked in any of the newest builds for a long time.

CM11 works, I think up to CM13 works. The LNOS or builds based on them don't have the drivers.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jjkrause1:
I guess I never noticed because I gave this tablet to my 4 year old daughter. She brought it to me the other day and said her camera wasn't working. I figured it was a new problem, but apparently it must have been that way all along.

Is there any chance a custom kernel could fix this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] monster1612:
Open Camera, etc. won't work on most 6.0+ ROMs because the broken camera issue lies in the device source code/kernel. It's also an issue on the 8.9", and it's been that way for quite a while.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:
Camera is always an issue in android custom ROMs due to the fact that camera on most devices is a closed source software because it is proprietary. The usual work around for most devices is to use some other camera app from Playstore until that bug is worked out by the ROM developer(s).

superuser

Just as a Note: Superuser was not working for me on the device even though it was enabled in the developer options by default. It worked from adb though. I had to select "Disabled" in "Root Access" and then afterwards again "Apps and ADB", only then it was working.

How can I boot into recovery without holding "volume up" + "power" buttons? My "volume up" button isn't working and my KFTT is rebooting everytime after the boot.

I'd like to clear it through TWRP, but I can't boot into TWRP.

I have a fastboot cable here (but I'm not familiar with fastboot yet), is there a fastboot command to boot into recovery?

Thank you!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mikeataol:
Are you able to boot into Android?

If yes, you might have an "advanced restart" setting in Developer options...

Or

If rooted, "Advanced Power Menu (root)" from Play Store usually works, and does the same thing.

I don't think there's a fastboot command to get to recovery, but I haven't used fast boot in a long time.

edit: if you want to do a factory reset type thing

"fastboot erase cache"

"fastboot erase userdata"

might work
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
[MENTION=2265275]gfcaetano[/MENTION]

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem recovery

or

fastboot oem recovery

One or the other should work.

(I don't remember exactly but, for some reason I think I had to drop the -i 0x1949 )

If neither one works, you should still be able to use fastboot to boot twrp.

(fastboot boot kfhd7-twrp-3.0.2-3-recovery.img)

fastboot erase name

Sould also work. (You might have to add -i 0x1949 to the erase command.)

(tate and jem I believe are the only devices I have that fastboot oem recovery works with.)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] gfcaetano:
It restarts right after the boot, it doesn't give my enough time to access its settings.

Are these fastboot commands enough for a factory reset?

Thanks for helping!

Edit: I didn't see the second reply.

I'll try to do that. Thank you!

The newbie here have finally accessed TWRP from my Kindle Tate (X43Z60), but "accidentally" erased everything including internal storage. Now I'm at TWRP (2.8.7.0) screen looking for a new ROM (and GApps) to install that keeps the camera and HDMI output working.

Do you have a suggestion?

Thanks again! You're great!

my fall back for working camera and HDMI on TATE is CM11

one place to get it is

I would try opengapps.org for gapps... (using a 4.4 pico which looks to be the smallest)

Thanks!

Do I need to reinstall freedom-boot because I've wiped the internal storage?

If you can get to TWRP, I would say , nope....

Do you see a second boot screen (usually blue) after the Orange/Brown default Kindle splash screen?

Is there a way root the device on this rom? The options in Developer mode don't seem to activate root.

I find the combination of cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-tate.zip and open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20171223.zip is quite stable for my kindle fire table.

One more thing, I would not recommend any TWRP higher than 2.7.0.0 on the kindle fire tate.

I successfully upgraded my TWRP to 2.8.7.0, even to 3.0.2.3. But unfortunately with both of them, I cannot use adb commands to push and pull files to/from my device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] chris8189:
I can confirm that crDroidAndroid-7.1.2-20170709-tate-v3.5 doesn NOT work. It gets as far as the 'Welcome to your Amazon Tate' screen, with the options to either copy your files from a previous device or to set it up as a new device. If you click on either of those, it does a boot loop. I flashed the ROM through TWRP and flashed Pico Gapps 7.1. Can anyone conform that they have these later 'crDroidAndroid' ROM's working?

I borked up my system (running Beanstalk 6.0), and wanted to try one of these roms. Problem is, I can't boot into the device anymore (sys partition was accidentally wiped).

I can boot into TWRP, but the mount option doesn't seem to do anything- that is, my computer doesn't detect that anything has been attached when I plug it in, and adb reports no devices as well. So strange, is MTP supposed to work within TWRP on this?

I'm starting to wonder if the problems I had leading up to this point were related to a USB issue, which may explain why this isn't working either.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
[MENTION=349165]Dishe[/MENTION]

Use fastboot and restore stock partitions. Then continue from there.

Edit:

Awhile back adb did not work for me in twrp. I reinstalled the stock boot and recovery then updated to stock-7.5.1. No need to say I re-rooted.

Not sure if it was the update or just the "official" reinstall of factory os but, adb has been working fine since.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Dishe:
I'd be happy if I could restore anything at all at this point. I don't know how I would be able to use fastboot and restore anything, stock or otherwise. I can't even get it into fastboot mode.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
[MENTION=349165]Dishe[/MENTION]

You need a fastboot cable. And a few files.

Here is the cable I use. amazon

I'll look back and see how I did it last time. Once you get a fastboot cable, let me know. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jjkrause1:
I successfully restored mine to stock a while back using a fastboot cable and this system restore tool:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

A few years later, I'm having random reboot issues with Cyanogenmod. Even after performing a full data format in TWRP and reinstalling a fresh OS (tried both CM11 and CM12.1) and the corresponding gapps, it starts randomly rebooting within minutes of the initial setup. I wondered if the issue (if it isn't a hardware failure) might be with the bootloader since that and the recovery partition were left alone when I formatted everything. I finally gave up and tried restoring it back to stock with SRT tool again, but it won't work this time.

It shows up as a device in ADB and I can push and pull files to and from it, but it won't show up in up as “Kindle” in my Device Manager, which is required for the SRT tool to work. I've tried reinstalling "“Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers”, which are already installed, but the reinstallation fails and Device Manager keeps showing it as "tate-pvt-08". The device does go into fastboot mode when I plug the cable in, but running the SRT tool has no effect since my system isn't recognizing the device properly.

The only variable that has changed between the last time I successfully restored via fastboot cable and now is I've upgraded to Windows 10. Has anyone else had issues with this version of Windows?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Dishe:
Ugh. $10 for a cable that may or may not solve it (I'm still wondering if my initial problems are a hardware fault), when I've seen 7" KFHDs on ebay for $20 these days. Doesn't seem like a worthwhile investment.

That sounds similar to the problem I've been having:

https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/7-inch-help/rebooting-charging-problems-tate-t3730221

Basically, the system won't go into sleep- it just resets. So it will keep rebooting unless I keep the screen awake, or power it completely off.

I've also noticed that it won't turn on initially if the USB cable is attached. And if I attach it during boot (Fire logo), it will immediately go dead. Its like the power control has gone bonkers- I read somewhere once that someone had a similar problem and thought it might be a voltage regulator or something that got fried from a QC charger. I can't find that thread or any other information about it though. IF that's the case, and its not software related at all, it might be time to retire this hardware. Which is a real shame if you ask me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:
If you can boot into TWRP, try using the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP. You might can boot into fastboot mode with these commands.

Try typing:

su (press enter)

Then type:

reboot bootloader

There is a shortcut to get into fastboot without the cable but its usually done via adb using these commands:

adb shell

Then type:

su

Then type:

reboot bootloader

It might work in Terminal Emulator because Terminal Emulator is essentially the same thing as adb shell, it's just done directly from the device instead of from PC and doesn't require typing "adb" with each command.

It requires root so it may not work since you wiped the system partition, but it's worth a try if you haven't tried it already. If it works, you should be able to flash a system and boot img.

And the random reboot issue could be a gapps issue like on some other devices. A solution to the gapps issue is to flash the ROM first without gapps then boot the device, once booted into system, reboot back to recovery then flash the gapps then reboot. Sometimes solves the random reboot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ipdev:
I stand corrected.

(Dusted off my tate and charged it up.)

Terminal was already at root so I just typed reboot bootloader and hit enter. Also this device has Bootloader under the built in twrp reboot menu.

When in fastboot mode, connect to your computer and run fastboot getvar product if it works you should get something like this.

bash-3.2# fastboot getvar product
product: Tate-PVT-08
finished. total time: 0.000s
bash-3.2#

Did a clean install tonight. PasteBin

PS.

The fastboot cable was only $7 when I bought it a few years ago. :)

Need one to root a stock tate. (And has saved me few times. ;) )
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:
So, that worked, eh?

I rooted my stock Tate without it, the old method [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] came up with using the modified boot img(2nd bootloader) and TWRP via FlashFire(FireFlash? Can't remember, its been a few years). I remember using a tool on PC but it wasn't fastboot, though it may have used fastboot processes. It was a long time ago and I haven't had another device since then that requires fastboot so I haven't had to do anything similar to gain root.

Never used fastboot or a fastboot cable on my Tate and have been using all the TWRP versions along the way and the various ROMs through the years. Been using it flawlessly since Jan 2013(rooted around Oct 2013 or so.)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Dishe:
Well I've tried reboot bootloader in twrp, both button and terminal commands, the screen shuts off and then doesn't come back on. Is is supposed to say somewhere that its in fastboot mode? Connecting the USB cable does nothing either. PC doesn't detect anything is connected. Shouldn't it show up in device manager or at least make some sort of chime like a device connected? Even when Windows is stumped by a connected device, it plays a "duh duh" sound to let you know. This does nothing. Its as if the device is dead as soon as I plug it in.

Like I said before, when I connect the USB cable at certain points (such as during startup), it will immediately die. Like, the charging circuit forced the system to shut down. Heck, when I first boot into TWRP, it won't boot if plugged in. I have to unplug it, then boot it, then plug it in once its already on.

Sometimes if I plug it in right away after TWRP boots, it will go dead too. I have to wait about 5-10 seconds for it to "settle" (as I imagine it) before I can plug in the USB without it dying. I'm really starting to think I'm dealing with a hardware problem.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Droidriven:
Yeah, sounds like it might be emmc(sdcard) failure or a faulty USB port. I doubt it's because the bootloader got corrupted because it does still boot into TWRP, probably wouldn't do that if bootloader was corrupted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Dishe:
Weird, the storage always was fine before I accidentally deleted sys partition in twrp. But it would reboot when put to sleep (pressing power or letting screen time out). If kept alive by using it, it worked fine. I would run Kodi on it and read books, my kids would play games, it worked fine until you put it down. Then it would time out and start bootlooping until you shut it down or kept it on.

So I think it's more to do with the power regulator, or something that controls the voltage internally. Faults came when charging or entering low power mode (sleep).

That might explain why USB mount to transfer files doesn't work either. USB probably starts charging curcuit which doesn't return expected values.

Meanwhile, if I click the icon in the middle of the bottom in twrp to show command line responses, after trying to mount for USB mtp, it says it couldn't find E: to mount or something like that. Maybe it's because I formatted everything? I'm at my wit's end here. Starting to look for replacements on eBay.
