Thanks for your help, it's been of great assistance and sets my mind to rest that nothing really went wrong with my installation of Magisk. I'll keep an eye out for the Manager updates that'll fix the downloads. ;)

I was once again just wondering about the updating of busybox, but I'll just assume that if I get a "Update busybox" from any app, I'll come back to the post you directed me to and update it that way.

You didn't answer my pondering about Xposed, but once again I'll just assume what I found is true and the developer currently hasn't had time to update it yet, and it may take a while.

Thank you for your time and the peace of mind you've procured me. :)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] justyermama:
:( So I need help badly! And of course, I've even asked if I could pay someone. I'm new to phones/tablets/android. Very comfortable with all things computer though. I bought the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 for the second time off Ebay that Amazon did not want to register without a receipt from my seller's purchase. I wanted this tablet for the specs and also we do a lot with Amazon. I've been customizing my computer for years and I don't care the specs of the $50 fires that are coming out in 2017. However both my sellers were honest and gave me everything but their social security cards and said they had it registered in their name and called Amazon as well. It seems almost like Amazon is finding a way not to register these secondhand Fires that are discontinued without a receipt from the original owner for "security". So this is when I found out about rooting while googling my problem. I have the 4.2 OS. And I've read a lot of warnings about this particular model. Most of the advice is over two years old so I want to know what can currently be done to turn this tablet into an Android. Is it possible?

And can I get simple detailed instructions so that I don't "soft brick" or "hard brick" my device.

I got full refund from my first seller. The second one told me he would give me partial credit if I kept it and tried to root it. If it bricks he says he will refund me completely. He is under the impression that rooting isn't difficult.

Can someone please help me?

Device can be rooted w/o registering and install the custom ROM of your choice. But it will take some work, patience and tech experience. I can point you to the technical documents early next week if interested. Travelling with limited/no network access this weekend.

:angel: So I really appreciate the quick response, and you have renewed my hope for this situation. That would be absolutely great. I once had Linux OS on a used computer I bought and quickly reformatted so I could install Windows. I found it to be not very user-friendly. However, while I'm waiting for next week to come, should I study the Linux OS or is there anything I should read or concentrate on learning, off the top of your head, to make my journey a little bit easier? Thanks again.

WAITING Patiently for Direction to root/flash Blacklisted Kindle Fire 8.9

Still Waiting to find out how to turn my blacklisted fire hdx 8.9 4th gen into a usable tablet. When I found out it was possible, I decided I would give it a shot and accepted $50 of the $130 I paid and kept it. Anyone who can help someone who is good with a computer, but I have no experience/knowledge with androids, I'm willing to learn if someone could point out the way. This particular model of tablet is supposed to not be easy to do, and please take into consideration my inexperience with this, I am willing to put time and effort if I could get the information/specific directions. I'm willing to compensate someone for their time. Please help.

Thank you, Wendy

Hi - as noted in my original response time, patience and some technical expertise will be needed to root the device via the 'bulk mode' approach. Unfortunately, time is not an abundant resource at present so you're pretty much on your own outside responding to specific questions. Below is the initial technical document which will undoubtedly seem overwhelming on initial inspection. You will likely want to read through the next few posts to adsorb guidance from the author (@draxie). Better yet, scan/search the thread for the word 'bulk' for related posts. Also see this post for links to a couple 'tools' that you will need to install on a Windows host before getting started. Good luck; ask questions as they arise.

I have done all the step in the link of bulk mode you post. It works very well with many KFHDX7 I have done but one of mine can't flash any ROMs although it can boot to recovery and bootloader. Could you help me?

P/s: It stuck at the white kindle fire logo after I flash any ROMs but I can boot to TWRP and fastboot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Be sure to wipe storage before attempting to flash a new/different ROM:

- make sure the latest TWRP build is installed (link)

- boot into TWRP

- tap Wipe followed by Advanced Wipe

- tick all partitions EXCEPT 'Internal Storage'

- execute wipe (may take a few seconds)

- return to main menu and flash ROM of your choosing

- only ROMs customized for this device can be flashed

- some require a GAaps package and/or SuperSU; read ROM OP for details

If the above fails perform a comprehensive wipe that includes all partitions. Then reboot device into TWRP, re-download ROM and supporting packages and attempt to flash again.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Chatchum:
I forgot unlock bootloader before flash ROMs on that HDX7. Do you think it made that problem?

These ROMs are work very well, because I flash 3 HDX7s by the same way with this HDX7 but there is no problem.

Please help me!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Wipe and flash this ROM. Work? If so proceed with bootloader unlock using Fire Nexus as a temporary base.

This ^^ is both annoying and unnecessary.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Chatchum:
It works very well.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Great! You should now be able to generate an unlock code specific to your device (step #1) and unlock the bootloader (step #3), possibly with the help of these drivers to enable fastboot communications from a Windows host.

You're in a world of hurt if device can not be placed into fastboot mode via <power>+<vol-down>. Your may need to attempt a recovery via 'bulk mode' which is neither easy nor assured.

I woke up to my S7 performing a system update. It froze at 30 percent completion. It was charging over night so I assume it had 100 percent battery, although been off charge for 1.5 hours.

It will not perform any commands, except t will perform a soft reboot (Power and volume down keys) - but loads back up to same screen. Robot Icon and 30 percent displayed on installing system update. in addition, it is overheating.

Can anyone help:confused:

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gettinwicked:
First of all, if any of this has been asked and answered in other threads, I apologize. I did look! But there are a ton of threads to go through. I even did a search.

So, I had a Gear S2 sport, and I wanted to upgrade and get something that looks nicer (Gear S2 even with band adapters doesn't looks so good), so I thought I'd try out AW and so I got a Huawei Watch 2 Classic. So far, whoa, this is a whole new beast! I guess I didn't think that two different smart watch OS's would be so different!

Anyway, some things I REALLY miss about Tizen wear:

The ability to scroll left or right to get to menus/widgets/etc. (this only brings up watchface selection for me. Can't seem to find a way to change it, seems like a HUGE waste of possible functions!).

Adding widgets (not watchface widgets, actual screens you can scroll to, like swipe to the right to see for example). This I really miss. I could scroll right and glance at the weather, calendar, control my phones music player, etc. It was SO helpful and functional. Not having this also seems like a HUGE waste of possible functionality.

Sooo, is there any way to do any of this? I see there are launchers for AW, but I haven't found anything yet that quite does this. Some DO allow swiping left or right to pull up menus and such, which is a great start, but no widgets.

Also, is there any way to adjust the screen timeout? I cannot find anything... If I have the always-on active and I wake the watch, it times out and goes back to ambient mode in 5 seconds. With always-on disabled, it turns off after 10 seconds. It would be nice to be able to set this for longer. This is particularly annoying.

Anyway, thanks for any help! I want to give this a try and will give the new watch a few days at least, but to be honest, I'm already thinking about exchanging it for a Gear S3. So, let me know what I can do to remedy this please!

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] el_mariachi_4:
Is anyone using their Nokia 6 with an SD card?

How does it work? well? Can you move pictures/videos/documents to the SD easily?

what size SD? micro?

Thanks!
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] thriceberg:
I have a 200gb microSD card in my US Nokia 6. All my apps can read files on the card, but because I set it up as removeable storage instead of simulated internal storage (it asks you to choose after you insert the card), only apps that know to request special permission can write to the SD card. Most file managers I've tried can handle writing to it, other apps like text editors are more hit and miss.

I think if I had set it up differently it might work with more apps, but I was worried that would result in it being encrypted and getting cluttered with random data files from every app. If root is ever figured out with this phone then I should be able to have better control of which apps can write to the SD card.

[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] lambdaxi:
I'm using a class 10 32GB SanDisk SD card with mine and it runs smoothly. I can move a lot of files at once to it and expect transactions to be generally quick. Make sure to set it up as external media otherwise you'd simply be merging the card with your internal storage and won't be able to control what goes into your card. Root is a must for this phone it seems.

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] HipKat:
You have a disadvantage if you want to backup/restore your apps WITH data from one device to the next or after a factory reset. You're at a disadvantage if you do mind the bloatware that comes with a phone, you want to use V4A to enhance audio output, you want to theme, you want to have custom roms, or you want a better kernel and an over all better Android experience. If you want those things, you know the things most of us come here for, then not being able to root puts you at a huge disadvantage

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] HipKat:

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
No phone has everything,but,the Note4 has a lot of features,some of which are seldom found on any new phone.

If you're a heavy S-Pen user,it'd be a hard sell to ditch the Note 4 for any other phone.

However,there's nothing preventing you from having both phones:

The Note 4 is going on 3 years since release,surely yours is already paid for.

Unless you are getting a very sizable trade-in credit,I'd keep it & get the ZenFone AR as well.

As for the Note series,any of the later models interest you?

I briefly owned the Note FE,I'd recommend it to anyone.

I sold mine to free up $$$ for the ZenFone AR (mine just shipped from Taiwan to the US via DHL moments ago).

Whether or not I keep the ZenFone AR for the long-term,I'll be getting another Note FE by years end.

It'd be nice if one phone had all the best features of both of these beasts.
