Open gapps has its own perks...if you are going for stability then do Beanzgapps, if you want to take the chance then go for open. Your choice. But bug reports may need to be confirmed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
I never had problems with opengapps TBH.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Anand N v:
ya... then use it:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] forgottenhacker:
Freshly Baked Build is UP!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Thanks! A changelog maybe?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
Thought i give it a try, but how long does it take to boot after a fresh install. Wiped all except internal storage , used latest beans gapps mini.

Stil at bootloader splash after almost 30 minutes, it just does not boot.

Edit: Dowladed the rom again, latest full bean gapps but same problem, it just does not boot. Booted back into twrp and installed backup of stock 7.1.1. Phone boots up without a problem
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Strange. Will give the last build a try later on today (if i find the time). Used few builds before and they all worked fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
Downloaded the rom again this morning. Then downloaded opengapps full. Wiped all except internal storage. Flashed the rom and gapps, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted phone. Same result as yesterday, the rom does not boot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mal13:
What version of TWRP are you using??? Have you changed bootloader and radios or have any idea what versions those are??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
TWRP: 3.1.1-0

Bootloader: apq8084-72.03

Radio: d4.01-9625-05.45+fsg-9625-02.117

They are the June bootloader and radio
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
it has nothing to do with twrp, bootloaders or radios IMO
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
Has anyone been able to get the latest version of the rom to boot after a clean install? I tried sevral other roms and they all boot, only this one doesnt.

I will try an older version to see if that boots

AIM-System-V1.0_20170613-OFFICIAL-shamu boots without a problem. Gapps used open_gapps-arm-7.1-full-20170622
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heisenbergfromIN:
You are right. The ROM doesn't boot. Clean flashed with OpenGapps Nano and BeansGapps Mini. Same outcome in both scenarios.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
To boot is not the AIM of this ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
Good one :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
It isn't booting for me either. I reported it. Waiting for a fix now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] forgottenhacker:
Sorry for all the trouble guys, I'm currently moving and don't have internet setup at my new place so there are times when I'm not online for a day or so. I see that my private build works fine but the one I uploaded isn't, it might be some error in uploading, I made a new build and tested it, this one should now work, if it still doesn't I will have to try to upload to a different place.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] forgottenhacker:
Sorry to hear that your device did not boot, I have uploaded a new build from a stronger network, please do check if it works, my test build works fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TMG1961:
No problem, will have a try later this weekend.

Edit: The Rom boots :)

Has anyone tried if USB Mass storage works with Polaris ?

There are two programs to see it as microsd storage,

[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
May be that my answer is too simple.

When I connect my HTC Cruise to my Desktop, using an USB connection, I have my complete disk storage of my desktop available.

However, I expect that you refer to an external storage, which I will try out a bit later today.

plug and play wise no it doesnt windows acively seeks drivers for it or for compatibility with software i.e. activesync..... basicaly what ive done i tested it out on my xbox360 a few days ago and considering my old glofiish x800 used to give me access to its files in the xbox dashboard. then again my x800 was tweaked and fiddled about with till everything was just right.

maybe some one needs to spend time messing about with it.

edit: i know the xbox360 only shows certain types of media but considering an mp3 is an mp3 no matter what medium its on, it shouldn't really matter what other files are on there.
[Fire General] Horridhenry:
Hey, i figured a simple way to root the fire tablet. All you have to do is flash the super su zip. That's it. Ladies and Gentlemen. :good::good::good: just rooted mine and few others people tablet and having the time of our life.
[Fire General] DB126:
How exactly do you accomplish this without a custom recovery? Last I knew FlashFire will not run on an unrooted device. Are you able to boot TWRP from fastboot w/FireOS 5.3.3.0?
[Fire General] Horridhenry:
No, i press volume down and power button sametime to go download mode
[Fire General] DB126:
Whoa! If this operation is independently confirmed it represents a serious vulnerability that Amazon will almost certainly patch.

Assuming device is running 5.3.3.x bootloader (you would know it if not).
[Fire General] Horridhenry:
it has nothing to do with bootloader or anything. just simple - go to download mode like you would on any device, connect odin and flash. that's it my g
[Fire General] DB126:
Cautiously optimistic. Still waiting for independent confirmation (all of my devices have a vulnerable bootloader so are non-representative of the community). Which SuperSU build? May not matter aside from matching your bench config.

Many locked Amazon devices do not offer a 'standard' download mode...either crippled or not accessible. That's what makes your finding so curious and possibly bootloader version dependent.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Did you use an app like Activity Launcher? I couldn't find the download mode in there. And it lists pretty much every setting whether you have root or not. Doesn't mean you can access them or change them. I am on a fire HD 8 at the moment with 5.3.3.0
[Fire General] tonibm19:
It cannot be that simple.

Any proves?
[Fire General] DB126:
On most Android devices so called 'download mode' is invoked via <power>+<vol+down> from a cold start. Has nothing to do with ROM functionality.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Was a dumb question. I just found that out. With that said, I thought you couldn't flash anything, even with root? I thought If the bootloader is locked, flash is not possible?
[Fire General] DB126:
OP claims to have used Odin (leaked Samsung utility; not ChainFire's Mobile Odin) to flash SuperSU on a 5th gen device in download mode. This is quite plausible and a remarkable security oversight by Amazon if independently confirmed. Has significant ramifications aside from rooting FireOS 5.3.3.0.

Not sure it would work on a HD8; depends if bootloader vulnerability exists there to.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
When powered off, volume down + power does nothing. Volume up + power puts me into Amazon System recovery.
[Fire General] DB126:
Yes - this is the typical scenario on a 'locked down' Amazon device. OP may have an alternative method for entering download mode. Or it may work differently on 5th gen fire devices (as I recall you have a 6th gen HD8). Waiting for independent confirmation.

As previously noted all of my 5th gen devices have a vulnerable bootloader and happily drop into download/fastboot mode...hence I can not validate OP's claims.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I've downloaded Odin onto my PC and installed Samsung drivers. However I can't get Odin to recognize my device.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Willing to give this a shot here. However I still can't get Odin to recognize my tablet. Lets say I do, according to everything I am reading, in order to root through Odin, you need to download the proper CF-Auto-root file. What one did the OP use?
[Fire General] johnjingle:
I agree there is a big lack of instructions here.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Maybe this is nothing, but I just noticed the 1st generation Fires were named 'otter.' My fire HD 8 is also an otter. Not sure if that's at all significant.

EDIT: There is a There is a TWRP file for the 1st generation Fire...named otter.
[Fire General] DB126:
- 5th gen HD 8 codename = Memphis

- 6th gen HD 8 codename = Gi

- TTBOMK Amazon codenames are not reused (never see it)
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I've never seen it either. I just happened to see an activity with 'otter.' Third from the bottom in the below image:

Also...who or what is amazon.jackson19?

(I can't figure out how to resize a picture for here. Please see second screen shot below)
[Fire General] DB126:
Unknown; lots of little mysteries with FireOS.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Any app or script to monitor it or what it may or may not do? It doesn't come up in listed apps in NoRoot Data Firewall., but I did manage to hibernate it in Greenify. Also not sure if this would help with root: I made a thread on this. I used Activity Launcher to get into the hidden settings. I found an option on the settings pull down menu that is 'Apps With Usage Access.' I granted what I wanted and revoked the ones for Amazon...the ones I could.
[Fire General] Technocian:
Volume Down + Power only takes you to recovery mode when the tablet is off and shuts it off when you do it from the home screen.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
And in that mode you can sideload from ADB (if the access was allowed), reset to factory settings, wipe the partition and enter fastboot, which is supposedly how the OP managed to root. Which is weird because with a locked bootloader, you can't flash. At least not with the typical Flashfire or the likes.
[Fire General] Technocian:
Well, I'm on 5.3.3 as well. I guess I'll join the party and see if I can duplicate his results. Here's to hoping this doesn't brick my device or something.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
If I had help setting up, I would've tried. I am on my way to work now.
[Fire General] n3kf:
I'm on a gen5 with 5.3.3.0. Hopefully the OP will come back with detailed instructions to let more of us in on this party.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Well there's a bit to work with in this puzzle. It's just a matter of putting the pieces we have together.

Tomorrow I will look into various other flashing softwares and see what I can come up with, if nothing is figured out tonight.

If this can be done, install and configure your firewalls! We don't want Amazon to find out and force a patch.
[Fire General] DB126:
I'd wager a beverage of your choosing (within reason) Amazon keeps a loose eye on various device centric forums (XDA, G+, etc.) so they don't get completely surprised if something more nefarious than a root exploit is discovered. If the OP has identified a significant vulnerability you can be sure it will get fixed in the next major update. As has happened at least twice since 3Q15.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I don't doubt it for a second. The moment I revoked usage access for their major apps (appstore, content manager, etc) they bombarded me with OTA updates. Thankfully none got through my firewall app...yet. though I'm constantly using 'OSmonitor' to detect what's connecting to Amazon and have been adding IPs as I find them...there's a lot. So far Amazon is trying to force 8 system updates on my device. For the last 12 hours it was 6 lol.

Question: any way to tell what those updates are?
[Fire General] n3kf:
Short of keeping the device off the internet, is there an easy way to keep a non rooted device from getting updates? I'm sure there must be something somewhere. Thanks
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
That's about it really. Search Google Play Store for 'NoRoot Data Firewall', 'NoRoot Firewall', and 'NetGuard.' those are the best options for the moment.
[Fire General] Technocian:
Alright, I'm at a loss at how he used Odin to flash it. Odin doesn't see it on my PC when I connect it, whether it's at the home screen or in recovery mode. OP doesn't seem to post actively on this forum, so it may be awhile before we figure this out. Also, as others have said locked bootloaders don't allow flashing (as far as we know.....).
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
If it's a flaw, then it will. I couldn't get it to connect either. I even downloaded, installed and switched the ADB drivers to Samsung, with no effect. Maybe try the oldest versions of the software and work our way up. At least we know the latest doesn't work... supposedly.

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

Might be another dumb question (still learning), but what about a systemless install of Xposed? Not sure what good, if any, that would do. Just a thought.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Ok I've literally been thinking about this all night while here at work.

Maybe we are going about this all wrong. Let's forget about flashing for a moment. What if there is a flaw? What if for some reason it's in the USB? I am going to try this when I get home:

1. Download Kingroot for Windows https://kingroot.net/ (Is there a way to have SuperSU binded with it?)

2. Power down your tablet, the cold way. Power button + up. (You've done it right if you aren't prompted with a messages asking you if you want to power down).

3. Power back on, into safe mode. Power button + down.

4. Select the fastboot option.

5. Open a command prompt where you can use ADB. Type: adb devices and hit enter. This will make sure your tablet is communicating with your PC. Exit the command prompt and make sure you exit ADB.

6. Install and open King Root. Click start/root.

Would that method be possible, rooting aside?
[Fire General] Mr Omer:
News?
[Fire General] TheBigEasy88:
Wait...isn't OP the guy who wired money to some internet 'store' for a new S8 and got the shaft? I was skeptical before....I'm REALLY skeptical now.
[Fire General] DB126:
Really? Have you even spent 30 sec reviewing the numerous posts that followed the one you quoted? Thanks for the opportunity but I'll pass on spoon feeding information that is readily available.
[Fire General] tonibm19:
I've been skeptical since the beggining. He's a troll. Just look at how the thread is written.
[Fire General] Technocian:
I'm gonna assume the same. If his method really worked, then the SuperTool root method for 5.1.1 should have rooted everyone's 5.3.3 device. It's basically the same process: boot into Fastboot > Flash SuperSu > Reboot.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
That's not true at all. Different flaws mean different root method and strategies etc. I am always skeptical, but to throw it out the window is just as dumb. What does it hurt in trying and or researching?
[Fire General] TheBigEasy88:
I LOL'd. It was much needed too so thanks man!!! :D
[Fire General] DB126:
Err...no. SuperTool does nothing with Fastboot. In fact it does very little on its own; it simply automates the preparation/installation of various tools (which is actually quite nice) and executes commands within FireOS that anyone could (awkwardly) perform on their own. This by no means is a take-down of the SuperTool; rather there is no basis for conflating the two approaches.

While skeptical of the OPs claims I do believe the ideas presented are plausible if improbable. I have my own ideas about what transpired but do not have the means (virgin 5th gen Fire) nor the time to validate at the moment. Will keep watching this thread for progress.
[Fire General] Horridhenry:
I fully understand the confusion that my thread created. And also I am sorry for the little amount of information given by me on first place.

-- My tablet was running on the latest update, however after bricking it while ago I had to reset my tablet using the cmd.

And when it booted, i never connected to the wifi.

I took Super-Su.zip and converted into .tar ( i decided to take a bit risk, if it went wrong, just reset it again.)

Turned the tablet off and used the volume down and power at same time.

---- oh yeah, I used Motorola unlocked bootloader method and applied/modified to fire os. ----

After, Odin just recognized my tablet as a different device or something else - ID:COM53

Flashed the super-su.tar and surprisingly it work. It's like changing .apk to .doc so you can send on whatsapp but change .doc to .apk and it becomes .apk aging. Do you understand that. You Can Try Out With Your Whatsapp.

That's it. Hope it help you,

Also shout out to

DragonFire1024 and Davey126

for their optimistic and confident about the future of bringing back root to the very amazing Fire 5th Generation.
[Fire General] chwiejak:
Can anybody confirm this method?
[Fire General] krsmit0:
you used a motorola bootloader unlock followed by samsung odin on a device build by neither?
[Fire General] TheBigEasy88:
OP...I'm a little less skeptical now but can you link us to the exact files used? Especially the Motorola bootloader unlocking method. w/ a link to the steps to follow? I'm going to give this a run when I get home from work in an hour and I'll post back as to my findings.

EDIT - are we to assume that you unlocked the bootloader via - https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a ???
[Fire General] krsmit0:

[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Since I have been playing around with this, I got home from work and I can no longer use ADB in recovery. My device won't show up, but it DOES show up when powered on properly. The second I go into recovery, ADB stops seeing it. Anyone have a fix for that?
[Fire General] Zomebodyz:
It still lacks a little information. And i doubt he will make a full in detail guide on how to root FireOS 5.3.3.0. So i guess we have to wait until someone uploads a YouTube video.

:(
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Huh? I am talking about my tablet not being able to communicate with ADB...at least when it's in recovery mode anyways.

Whoops, thought you were talking otherwise.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xucardsfan08:
Has there been any progress on dealing with the massive battery drain caused by combo of Google Play Music & Adblockers?

I have tried reverting back to an older version of GPM and that solved it, but it is nearly impossible to keep it from updating (even detaching market entry using TiBu only stops it for about a day). I ran a logcat of AdAway and started whitelisting Google ad servers, but the battery drain persisted and I now had ads.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grushteniak:
Care to explain better? I also use GPM & Adblocker and I was having an unusual drain for about a week.

Since I mess with a lot of things, I reflashed everything today (I had 7.1.1 - march update) and now I'm using 7.1.2 N2G47O with Magisk with its Unified Hosts Adblock module and I'll be able to tell if I still have some drain in the next few days
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xucardsfan08:
The problem seems to be that a few months ago when GPM was updated, it also increased the pinging of ad servers, for whatever reason. Even if you pay for GPM (I do), the ad servers still get pinged. The issue becomes that most of the adblockers simply alter the host file and denies the loading of the ad. Well, this causes the constant re-pinging of that server to load the ad. When you are streaming music through GPM, it is continuously trying to load those ads, massively draining the battery. I'll get about 1.5 hours out of a charge with this issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdallas:
The same problem, it is probably necessary to put some exceptions for the adblocker, that everything would work correctly
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therock3181:
Same problem. Tried whitelisting with no luck.

Adaway and with Magisk unified Adblock. Both are the same with major battery drain.

I don't use ad blocking anymore...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grushteniak:
That sounds very aggressive - you may have the battery failure that almost all N6p's have (including me). I just disabled my adblocker and I'll see the behavior, but I believe my phone is about to die.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xucardsfan08:
Luckily I don't. It was night/day difference with Adaway on/off out the old GPM app. I just use a external battery pack I bought for my honeymoon in my gym bag.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdallas:
This is solution

https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/adaway-results-googletagmanager-t3537046
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xucardsfan08:
The problem with the whitelisting solution is that it causes numerous ads to be allowed, essentially taking away the benefit of AdAway.

Choose the lesser of evils
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honki24:
So glad I finally found this thread. Thank you! I had a heck of a time figuring this out, destroying my battery. I'm using AdHell on an S8 and apparently blocking the ads on play music was doing the same for me - causing the app to churn and eat something like a couple % per hour. With AdHell I just unblocked google play music and play services (just for good measure, don't know if this is necessary) and things seem right again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Won't be druv:
I recently had my battery replaced and for a couple of days ran it without an adblocker and totally stock. I always used to root and mess around with the phone but I liked beta Oreo 8.1 so much that I thought I'd try adaway and leave the phone unrooted. Anyway, terrible battery life at work Monday and today. I noticed drain waas high for adaway and that the phone wasn't sleeping. Uninstalled adaway and now a couple hours later, the phone is not draining and has slept with a flatline battery chart.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master_T:
So, was a solution to this problem ever found? Every time I want to listen to music I have to manually disable adaway... very annoying.
