I'm having similar issues, I believe there's an issue with the update, as downgrading to the previous version got me up and running again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Can you explain in detail the issue you have? The developer would like to know so he may be able to fix it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ThisCrimsonDiscordia:
I’m not sure if the two are connected, I suspect not, but when I originally updated the module, another module I used installed it directly to the SD and I got a cannot communicate with framework error. After uninstalling, wiping the cache and rebooting, reloading then rebooting again, it just force closes within a second of loading.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] huffmybrd:
ummm, theres not much to explain lol.

installed 5.5.0 and it crashed as soon as it opened. idk how to get any logs or whatever
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I replied and pointed the developer here. Here's a dumb question. You enabled the module right?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] huffmybrd:
lol, yeah i enabled it. that was the first thing i checked
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Waiting for a reply now. Developer may or may not comment here. In the meantime here is a link to his thread https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-gravitybox-v5-0-0alpha-tweak-box-t3037566/page425
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
A new update has been posted. I haven't tried it yet, but appears the issue was related to 'wifi only devices' and has been resolved.

Edit: Downloaded 5.5.1...no problems on my end. Seems to have been fixed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
I believe I've figured out what is going on - it looks like FF successfully writing into /system depends on the FireOS version. Basically:

5.5.0.0 - works

5.6.0.1 - does not

5.6.1.0 - works

I've updated to 5.6.1.0 using your pre-rooted image, and then was able to use FF v0.51 and flash a patched version of SuperSu 2.82 SR5 zip without issues.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I was on 5.6.0.1 and it worked to flash gapps. Currently on 5.6.0.0 now and also worked.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] bibikalka:
OK. It's actually even screwier. I tried to daisy chain a restore of retyre's 5.6.1.0 backup, and Supersu zip, and :

1) First, SuperSu failed in the daisy chained mode after /system restore

2) After a reboot, in FF, I could not longer apply any zips (!)

So it looks like if one tries to run SuperSu zip after updating /system right away, it'll fail, and will also mess up future zips but somehow disabling write access to /system in FF. My prior 5.6.0.1 installation was a failed daisy chain, that's why it was not working with any zips.

Also [MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3497316]retyre[/MENTION]

I successfully installed Xposed and FF on my Fire 10 HD (7th gen) being on 5.6.1.0 (thanks a lot!) but none of the backup actions in FF is working - it just redirects me to the homescreen after choosing "normal", "full" or "raw" even though all the checks during the start of the app pass.

I did everything the guide told me to do and if there is no solution, I would be using dd to backup my system.img but I would like to have a backup of my data as well.

Thanks in advance!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
Hi DragonFire1024, been following your HD 10 efforts here all over xda - so much useful information, thanks for your hard work.

I'm particularly interested in getting the Google 'stuff' working well enough to enable full Google Play Store access for a second user on the HD 10 (it seems to be a known issue that you can't simply repeat the same install 4 APKs in a row trick for the second user). Any pointers? Can you explain which Gapps package you used and how you flashed it? I'm guessing via FlashFire, which I do have installed as per this thread but I'm loathe to play with much as it seems unpleasantly 'hacky'.

Also thank you retyre, this thread and the pre-rooted image have been very useful.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
I used flashfire and flashed nano gapps. After flashing gapps, you can then just delete the 4 apks you initially installed (just delete the apks, don't uninstall them). Nano gets you set up with the play store and it's services and installs the Google app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
Holy crap, that actually works?! Sounds almost too good to be true but if you're saying it works I'm willing to give it a go. So, just to be clear, I'm planning on using FlashFire to "Flash Zip or OTA" right? With the nano opengapps arm64 5.1 variant? Today that's open_gapps-arm64-5.1-nano-20180828.zip. I'll dd backups of the main two partitions to the sdcard before I do this just in case. Anything else I need to know beforehand?

Thanks for the info chief, what would we do without the experimenters like you? :]
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DragonFire1024:
Use the 'arm' 5.1 gapps. Make sure flashfire is set up properly according to the OP. Make sure you get the system.img for back up using the dd command.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
Yeah, sorry, my bad - it was of course arm and not arm64.

Reporting back with negative findings:

I did a decidedly non-optimal test run in the end kind of expecting to have to do a reset afterwards - 'dirty' flash over an already quite mucked about with setup. Didn't have enough space left in /system so I did a pico install. This instance had one user with a fully working google setup (usual 4 APK manual install method) and a secondary user with an aborted attempt at getting the same setup working. Flashfire did actually seem to do it's bit successfully but unsurprisingly the whole enterprise not only didn't work but seems to have at least partially borked some stuff - the primary user account and google apps seem untouched (and functional) but the second user account has been rendered largely unusable. No surprises it broke but the concept seems sound so now I'm going to repeat the test on a fresh out of the box 5.6.2.0 with just the minimal modifications required to do the opengapps flash.

I accidentally twatted one HD10 by not checking that the update bin from the Amazon download site wasn't as up to date as the device fireos version - turned out it wasn't and I flashed 5.6.1.x over a 5.6.2.0 (whoops). Otherwise I've been a bit cavalier about haphazardly reflashing and resetting these units so far without any other disasters but I might have just been lucky. Can I just check how you do yours? I've got dd images on the sdcard for backup, although I'm not planning on restoring them this time around.

The HD10 can just be booted into recovery mode and then

adb sideload update-kindle-40.6.1.2_user_612496320.bin

to factory restore right? Should I be bothering with cache wipes before/after or the "wipe data/factory reset" recovery mode menu entry?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
Ok, never mind, I was just being a cowardly running dog lackey of capitalist imperialism for a minute there. I'm pretty new to hacking Fire HDs and after bricking one was suddenly getting cold feet for dangerous partition wiping experiments...

Didn't take long to get over it, that's what warranties are for comrades :]

So to report back with positive findings this time:

Fresh HD10 (factory reset and reflashed with latest update.bin) completely updated to 5.6.2.0 plus all the latest Amazon components as of 2018-08-30

Offline root with DirtyCOW + SuperSU 2.82 + Xposed + Per Hacking Module + FlashFire 0.24

Flash open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-20180828.zip via FlashFire

This does indeed work, and for both profiles/users as well - much neater than the "install 4 APKs in a row" method. Now I just need to properly debloat all the crap, inject a new launcher into /system, install DragonFire1024's settings apk and finally will have as close to a general purpose Android tablet as we're going to get until LineageOS or other ROMs are available (probably never).

Thanks for the pointers.

can some1 upload flashfire v.24 the OP link is dead
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
Attached. Not sure where I even got mine from but it was from a link somewhere here in XDA.

On a related note there's a thread here about getting Flashfire 0.51 running, although it didn't work out for me in testing. Does it need the same arbitrary date reset trick that 0.24 does? Is there any advantage to getting 0.51 installed over 0.24 on the HD10? Flashfire did turn out to be not just useful but essential (if you want to flash opengapps properly at least) to the whole "liberate your tablet from the capitalist dogs at Amazon" endeavour but as it only has to do literally one job replacing it seems a bit like unnecessary effort.

Has anyone got a newer version of Flashfire than 0.51 installed? It's discontinued now I believe.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] retyre:
Please read some of the earlier posts in this thread (esp. pp. 12-13) for information about v0.51 and how it might be better than v0.24.

I have edited the OP with the link to a post that has v0.24 and v0.51 as attachments.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Guardian x9:
how do i get to this option in flash fire .v 51 to uncheck this option.. "Make sure "Mount /system read/write" is unchecked "
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] chairmanmiaow:
I promise I had actually read the entire thread several times over but after you've read about 50 other threads in a row all the information starts to blur together...

Many thanks for the pointer though, exactly what I needed. For my usage case I'm sticking with 0.24 currently - I only need it to flash gapps once after all so it's easy to adb install it, kill the network, busybox set the date back, flash gapps, uninstall.

Out of curiosity how are you dd'ing the data partition out currently, if you're not using FF instead? That's a ~30Gb dump via dd. I presume FF truncates and compresses backed up partitions to a reasonable size?

Hello.

I have installed Lineage OS 13 on my Motorola Moto X (ghost).

Another fault is that the bluetooh is always disabled after returning from airplane mode.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_newb:
As the title suggests, I'm about to update my GFs GT-n8010 tablet, it's pretty slow and the factory reset hasn't helped (pre-loaded with a load of junk of course).

I've hunted around and can see hundreds of 'enhancements' on many ROMs, but most seem to come with some bugs. She really doesn't need any new features, just a fast streamlined ROM on a newer version than 4.x so newer apps will work. I guess something like AOSP, but I'm new to this.

If anyone can confirm if it can be flashed via Linux that would save me having to find an old windows laptop - Odin couldn't 'see' the tab via WINE.

Apologies if this is a stupid question, all the threads I've read assume that I already know 'something' that I don't, or that my tab is already in a state that it isn't (not rooted).

Many thanks

Today I was using my phone when it locked up, made a strange buzzing noise and then went dead.

It was on charge at the time but now if I plug in the charger I do not get the usual charging display and the phone won't switch on regardless of how long I hold down the power button with or without the volume +/- buttons.

If I connect it to my computer 'adb devices' doesn't find it either and that was working recently.

Is it time for a new phone or is there some other way of reviving it?

1) audio bug on youtube: practically the video is seen but you do not hear the audio;

2) audio bugs on phone calls: practically during a phone call you can only hear the phone call in handsfree mode, removing the speakerphone does not work!

no mod or other kernel presents!

this problems not present in the ROM stock or CM 12.1 or Resurrection Remix Lollipop!

Hi all, I've been after a decent screen protector for my Note 8 and came across a now closed thread on here asking for reviewers to receive a free one for testing. Unfortunately, I live in the UK so the free option was not available to me. As the reviews on Amazon.com seemed good I thought I'd try my luck. This is the protector:

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Friendly-Dendrobates-Installation-Coverage/dp/B076PRGQKM

Installation: this was a little bit tricky compared to a TGSP, as the film is much more flexible, it's very similar to the Brotect ones but actually covers most of the edges of the screen. The guide which fits into the USB port is a great idea as it ensures the correct alignment of the protector. Just take your time and push out any bubbles with the supplied squeegee. I did have a small issue when taking off the top protective layer as the adhesive used is very strong, this meant that the actual protector came away from the screen. Fortunately, the protector did not move and was easily refitted without any issues.

The protector fits very well with a small border that is not covered to allow use with a case. I've tried fitment with both the Ringke Onyx and Spigen Ultra Hybrid and both fit perfectly with no lifting of the protector.

Overall I'm very pleased with the protector and find it has a nice feel to it. It's more like a very thin glass and has a hard to the touch surface so works well with the stylus. The one thing I'd change is the left and right edges of the protector have a very fine black border, this would be fine if the protector was full coverage. As the protector is case friendly this border is on the actual screen, though this has not been an issue for me when using with a case as the edges are slightly obscured anyway.

I'll add photos when I get chance tomorrow.:)

I actually REALLY like the Dendrobates screen protector for the S8+. At least the second version it. It's still on my S8+ as a matter of fact.

However the Dendrobates for the Note8 was very disappointing. It would not stick down on the right side. Used up both screen protectors trying to make it work. Dendrobates refunded me.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
In your opinion will this phone community grow bigger far as amount of Roms? I never owned a note before. In regards to Tmobile current offering of phones. This phone is the best hands down far as features and build quality. I checked out all of the Newest phones on Tmobile and researched xda rooting for each phone. The Note/S8 had the most so far. Does knox really handicap this phone that much far as this?

I will be getting this phone next Friday. The quality and features of this phone outweigh it all for me. Just bonus if this phone root/rom community will get big. Owned an LG G5 and G4 by far the worst build quality I've ever dealt with. Will never buy an LG after that.

OnePlus 5T doesn't offer payment plans. Also doesn't have all the premium features of this phone. I feel like rooting and roms are dien. Over the years it seems like all phones have had less and less.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Years back, rooting gave you the possibility of doing many things, now, the newer versions of android incorporate many options, so the need of root has become less urgent, the prices of flagships nowadays are really high, so, less people are willing to risk/loose their hard earned devices, so yes, littler development these days
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
What [MENTION=2297902]winol[/MENTION] wrote is absolutely correct.

But I'm sure, latest if the warranty is ended more and more people will Root their devices. As well if the Rom support from Samsung side is ended. then you will need Root to flash higher android versions.

And the device is absolutely great. So I'm sure more and more people will buy it (maybe a used one), and also more developer will get this phone and develop Rom's for it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
Yeah the days of rooting and custom roms are drawing to a close. As stated, things that required root in the past are now baked in. The risk to reward ratio is world's apart. And with the new security and biometrics, you now lose functionality with root. I actually enjoy the stock note 8 experience inside and out. I don't see anything I would want to root and change.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
i dunno what y'all are talking about but when we get the ability to do a system wide adblock and on youtube, we gonna need root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Flame Red:
I got to agree with the above post. And add that root is the only way to get rid of the carrier provided bloat-ware and spying crapulance. So I cannot use Samsung Pay - no loss. Worth it for me not to have all the embedded spy-ware crap that pops up on my wife's unrooted phone constantly.

But I am conflicted as the Renovate ROM developers dropped support for their fine ROM for the Note 8 for some unstated reason but keep on with the S8. Very sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
Don't misunderstand me. My phone is rooted since October where I bought it. I only want to show how the most note 8 owners are thinking. There are also many new android users where the note 8 is there first device. Or they switched from iPhones to Samsung. The most of them are not interested in rooting for now, or not even know what that is.

I have the exynos version and I rooted 2 weeks after I bought it.

Gesendet von meinem SM-N950F mit Tapatalk

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Why unstated reason? He wrote the reason. He haven't time to support 3 devices (S7, S8, note 8). He's support is only paused until the next major update. And that's Oreo.

I'm sure the reason is, there are many more S7, S8/+ users then note 8 users.

Ok, there is a security update released since a few days. But also other developer's updated only the safety patch. Nothing more. I'm sure, you also don't get more support from Samsung in the next time until they will release Oreo. So also stock Rom users don't will get more support from Samsung directly (until Oreo release) .

I have tested some Rom's till now and the RICE Rom for me is still the best.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
I can see where all you guys are coming from. The risk is high, no one wants a $1k hard bricked paper weight. Stock has come far from the crap days. The battery life has gotten pretty close to Roms. I think you all are correct on Root/Rom dien breed. I think it will get to a point where you will only see it on OnePlus/Pixel/Few others.

But I do have to agree on pro root guy's here on a few things. Being able to rid yourself of bloatware is pretty awesome. The Adblockers for root work better. The UI is also better and customization. I know there's a bunch of Roms out there. Say for instance Res remix is UI/Custom heaven.

Appreciate everybody's input on this thread! But Note 8 you're to sexy to pass up, even without a large Rom collection :( Untill OnePlus has premium features and look. Also a payment plan! Judging from threads on xda and everybody input here. The Note has pretty decent size community for Rom/Root and will probably get bigger.
