[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fBx:
Hi,

so I am fairly new (tbh: completely new) to Amazon tablets. I just saw the new tablets announced for June and thought about replacing my old-as-f*ck Nexus 7 with a HD7 or HD8. How is the experience so far - is it likely that you can easily root/remove the ads, put on a custom rom and so on? Will this limit the tablet in any way? Or do I need to leave it stock, otherwise not be able to use Kindle/Prime Video and so on? Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuigiTheHunter:
Most of the times as you can clearly see here on xda it takes a while or maybe even a long time, for the amazon tablets to be root able. I would buy a 6th gen right now, when your not connecting it to the internet it should be possible for you to root it right now (if it has the right software version installed).:D

If you want to buy a 7th gen then there is the problem that you can't connect it to the internet, because it will automatically upgrade you will have to wait until there is a method to root it before you can normally use your tablet....:crying:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4859884:
Both the 6th and 7th Gen. Fire HD 8 are near if not identical specs wise, as above if your hoping for root buy the 6th Gen. as you may get lucky and get one with a pre-installed lower software version that's rootable, however you may not, the 7th Gen is very likely to come with 5.3.3 which I don't think is currently rootable.

As for custom ROMs, Amazons tablets are pretty locked down and as such there's little to no custom ROM development going on, not in recent years anyway. Go with something else if you like trying new ROMs otherwise the Fire HD tablets are pretty well made and you can sideload the Google Play Store pretty easily too.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fBx:
Okay, I cross-referenced 2016 and 2017 and it's basically the same specs. Not sure it would be that much of an upgrade. I'll check what a 2016 HD 8 goes for at ebay.

I took my HD 8 (7th Gen) straight out of it's box and followed the instructions. Now someone reported in the other thread their Fire 7 (7th Gen) had issues with the versions linked in the thread. Mine was sitting at Amazon OS 5.3.3.0 out of the box and I didn't update that first. The guy with the Fire 7 stated he was at 5.4.0. One other person with the Fire 7 ran into a similar issue, but used newer versions of the Play Store and Play Services to get it working.

I just checked on my tablet and the Play Store and Play Services on the HD 8 just updated in the last 5 minutes, they are within the same build cycles as the one guy listed as working on his Fire 7.

Google play works

I took my tablet (hd 8 2017) straight out of the box in 5.3.3, follow the instructions in the link from this thread, google play works but location services dont. Factory reset, install google play with the files from the link again, and everything works!! after that, the tablet upgrade itself to 5.4, google play and services still works perfectly fine :victory::victory:. So the method and files in the link works, for me at least, if any problem appears just factory reset the tablet and try again. Sorry for my english.

so ive just found this site, only a couple days too late by the looks of it. i read (not very carefully) that it would be easy to root a kindle fire hd 8, so i just got one in the mail today (7th generation). i havent connected it to the internet, its got 5.3.3.0 on it, and my goal was to replace the stock OS with regular android. is this not currently an option?

(if not, any suggestions on what i should do/not do with it in the meantime? will connecting it to the internet begin an automatic software update that will render the device even more useless? i thought i read someone post something about that)

Fire HD 7thG- Screen cracked... What to do????

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
As far as I know, the difference between the 6th generation and 7th, is pretty much the programming and a few internal tweaks. I am about 90% sure there is nothing different about the physical hardware of the devices. So if you can find an HD 8 that's 6th generation, for real cheap, you can probably swap out the screen. There are several tutorials online if you do Google search, on how to do that. It sounds harder than it actually is. With that said, i am still looking for a cheap HD 7 so I can replace the screen in the one I have tucked away in a drawer.

Anyone else have this issue before. Today I restarted my phone after uninstalling package disabled and phone came back with most of the setting reset. Like all my Google keyboards turned off. My AOD turned on. Etc

I literally had to change almost all setting. It also lost the theme so I had to re-theme it. What's crazy is it even changed my icon layout to a layout that I had a night before.

I can't think of anything that could have made drastic other than the theme. Possible that the theme crashed and it reverted all settings but this is really weird and annoying.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azeem40:
Hello,

I have nothing something very interesting on my Moto X, but before that, a little story on my situation is in order. Almost a year ago, I had set up Adoptive Storage on my phone, because I liked the idea of having more app space (I wanted to install tons of games at the time). So, I set it up and continued to use my phone as normal. Fast forward to 5/16/2017. All the custom ROMs I had tried until that point didn't give me the performance I wanted. Apps would freeze, the phone would be choppy and laggy sporadically, etc etc. I was fed up with it, because, no matter what ROM I'd install, the same aforementioned issue would arise. My fed-up self decided to return to stock Marshmallow, so I followed the guide here, using the AutoFlashFirmwareScript section. Big mistake. It was too late. I had booted into my system, set everything up, and realized that my SD Card was giving an error saying that it isn't recognized by my phone. Of course it wouldn't, because I HAD SET IT UP AS INTERNAL! It would seem that all hope is lost....

However, I had just noticed something very peculiar. My phone was showing that it had 4.14 GB used out of 24.06 GB, but when I added up all the storage that each section took up (1.64 GB for apps, 24 KB for images, 8KB for videos, 40KB for audio, and 4.08 MB Other, as well as 21.5 MB Cached data), it didn't total the 4.14 GB that it was saying it was using. I also attached an image of what my file info looks like. Does this mean something?

I was reading this guide, and there seems to be a way to decrypt the External SD Card. Is this possible using a VM, since I don't have Linux on my computer?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit 3: Updating will fix this properly.

Edit 2: That didn't fix it...

Edit: I've seemed to "fix" it. From my reading it is a background service trying to do a seamless update in the background. I disabled "com.qti.service.colorservice" using titanium backup and restore and it seems my background data usage has stopped. No negative consequences so far but it may prevent seamless updates. Another fix would probably be updating to the latest patch version...

Idk but I hope you get an answer... Been killing my battery.

That would make sense if he was on stock but if he's using Titanium Backup his phone is rooted and might have other modifications. Flashing the latest factory image or if he's on a custom ROM doing a clean flash of the ROM would probably be the best idea under the circumstances.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] reb1995:
It has been a while but I'll reply so anyone else who comes will know. My state before and after was the same. All that changed was my OS version. Flashed the flash-all.sh after removing the -w, flashed the April bootloader (so no boot signing stuff, not the safest or recommended thing), booted TWRP, flashed twrp, flashed supersu, and then rebooted. No other mods besides adaway.

Are you on stock, rooted or unlocked bootloader? I had the same issue on stock (unlocked bootloader) where it was trying download an update repeatedly. I had to actually flash a custom rom to make it stop. Verizon did credit me back for the data it used.

So do I need to downgrade or what? How do I root kindle fire os 5.3.3.0? My kindle fire is hd 6 4th gen
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesseb342:
Yep. There's a thread around here somewhere outlining the process. The basics are: Set up ADB on Kindle and PC. Sideload Fire OS 4.5.3 to your Kindle via ADB. Block OTA updates. Root via your preferred method. Install TWRP. Use TWRP to flash 5.3.3.0 bootloader and ROM back to your Kindle. Done.

I know it's a pain in the arse to go through all that, and in the end you don't even get to keep TWRP, but as far as I know it's the only possible way to get root on the HD 6 and 7 4th gen right now. At least until Kingroot is updated.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corporal_hades:
You can't flash twrp right after flashing 5.3.3.0? Or will the kindle not boot?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesseb342:
No. Your Kindle would still boot, you just wouldn't have a recovery anymore. For whatever reason TWRP doesn't play well with bootloaders above 4.5.x. So if you were to flash TWRP in 5.x, you overwrite the stock recovery. Upon reboot, TWRP won't work since you have 5.x bootloaders, and your stock recovery is gone since it was overwritten by TWRP. So you're in the nasty situation of having no recovery and no way to get one back.

Somewhere in the rooting thread there is mention of an automated script that will flash 4.5 bootloaders for you and then boot into TWRP. Once you're done just flash your 5.x bootloaders back and reboot. Not a permanent fix, but at least it's all done on the Kindle itself (no need for a PC once it's set up) and there's no chance of ending up without a recovery since TWRP is ran in memory and not flashed so your stock recovery stays intact.

No dice. Tried to compile lk using msm8994 (SD810- same workaround as 5x) and was able to fastboot boot a nouefi lk.img but but once booted there was no device showing up in fastboot devices which unfortunately is key to the next step
[Nextbit Robin] valhallen.282:
A lot of Devs are getting into issues assuming that this device is similar to the 5X. No. It isn't. This device's implementation is completely different. Take a look at the two sources and you'll see it. NextBit's calls to device and storage are also different. Boot patches won't work the same way. The OmniROM Dev was the first to learn this which is why it took a lot of time. Also Robin doesn't seem to respond to slot switching though it has it. I may be wrong.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
I got lk to boot using the same lk_base as the 5x so there are a few thing in common because the aboot dump showed the same value. anyways I made some progress: Display to show, finalize_device to execute and was able to build uefi.img and boot it. upon booting uefi the kernel panics and reboots so I have to to figure that out before proceeding to the checklist.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
I've got it to boot and run for the most part but I'm not the most experienced at porting and there are a few things left to do like configuring the fstab.multiboot correctly which is key to multi booting roms and installing the ota through efidroid app via github sever
[Nextbit Robin] valhallen.282:
I wish I was smart enough to do that. I can read code. I can test. Cannot write to save my life. Sorry. That's my truth.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
As soon as I get these local ota server problems figured out and are able to actually test dual booting a rom I'll pm you with some goodies:good:

It's pretty easy to build yourself after you figure out what variables the lk.mk and config.ini need. Although I have been doing this for 3 days now with many trial and error. Pretty shocked it's even working as good as it is right now because there's been a lot of known issues with 64bit socs
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
I'm gonna have to put this project behind me... I lack some knowledge on a few areas of the porting process and to configure it correctly is possible but I, myself can not do it. If a developer has the device, and wants to try porting/configuring it then go for it. The main thing is that we are able to get lk, uefi to boot and display screen (properly) so fixing the other issues like fstab.multiboot table should be easy for someone more experienced. At least theres hope with this modification. Sorry folks, I'll stick to my boot logos for now haha.

and is there anyways that you can update the o2 xda exec's bluetooth 1.2 to a 2.0?? would that b a reason my jawbone bluetooth headset gets fuzzy noice??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Falk:
Apart from a different branding all models feature exactly the same hardware and thus you will hear absolutely no difference in quality. As for the bluetooth module, revision 1.x and 2.x refer to the hardware and can't be changed by software updates. The noises you hear are probably not generated by the lower bluetooth revision but much rather by external sources (WLAN being one of them), a bad bluetooth implementation (the Microsoft stack isn't exactly known for good audio quality), general cellphone - headset compatibiity issues or even a crappy revision of the headset (some of them come with severe bugs). You might want to Widcomm bluetooth stack instead of the MS one: Helmi created a setup file for this, but be aware that the process is irreversible and without a hardreset you will be stuck with the new stack.
