cool. Slow claps..... Happy for u bro... Really wish that could help others
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bryantjopplin:
Well you said show. I put my money where my mouth was. I gave a pretty detailed explanation on how. Maybe deactivating and trying some other things will help with others. Obviously it can be done. My p2xl on vzw cant be the only one the be unlocked. If one can they all can. Just need to know the prerequisites of the order or method.

If u say so
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Skorpyun812:
It's good for you but still sucks for everyone else however, the information you provided could help. There are a few people working on this now so hopefully we'll figure something out soon, that works on Verizon variants, already activated and in use full swing. I have mine ported to Sprint. I'm going to try to use that to my advantage.... Somehow.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikkey81:
I bet money.... that the March update and all the general wonkyness that's going on with Substratum is a patch for this issue... now you have to reboot and reenable the overlay (on the March update) to get them to install. Wish I wasn't on the March update, but I'll give it a try anyway. Wouldn't mind being unlocked and rooted again. This phone is pretty nice.

Nope if you're on March it doesn't work.

Attempts...

Tried using while having--- Andromeda activated, --- tried repeated enable disable functions. --- tried installing themes --- Uninstalling themes

No dice... Sorry Guys.

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rosewood:
tl;dr: I want a clean wm 6.1 rom for my Tmobile Wing that is stupid simple to install.

First off, let me say I really appreciate all the work that everyone has put into these custom roms here. I used to use X's MDA custom rom (and still do on my wife's MDA) because it was a very clean rom and it was stupid simple to use. You ran it, clicked next and yes to everything and waited.

I've had the Tmobile wing since launch and I've used the stock firmware because whenever I try to digest any information that is presented in the forum post format, my ADD kicks in and I get nowhere. Now that my replacement wing is here, I figured now is the best time to flash a new rom onto it because I can't put up with not being able to do things like take a picture without soft reseting.

So, I want to get rid of this stock rom but looking at the different rom threads, I'm not sure which one I want. I want to avoid as many 3rd party applications / today screen mods / touch interfaces as possible. Any 3rd party application I need, I'm happier to install post flash.

I do like the custom roms that have the obvious tweaks built in and I really like them when everything I need is included to take me from a fresh Wing out of the box to final product.

And finally, the easier the better. The last thing I have time for is tweaking my cell phone. I've put up with the awful stock rom since the wing came out simply because I haven't had the time to mess around with it.

I thank you in advance for your advice and help.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
I'll build you a clean and simple ROM when I get home. Doubleclick on one file and click enter three times. Wait. Done.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rosewood:
That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I saw some of your threads and it looked very promising. I assume that covers the CID unlock?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Yep, it doesn't unlock it per say... just goes around the lock. Just one question. What programs do you want on it? If you're not sure, take a look at my kitchen. Those are the packages I'll be using.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rosewood:
Ok, I checked out your thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372236

Adobe Flash

AdobeReader

MS Voice Command

Remote Desktop

I do fine with battery indicator that came with the wing.

Updated Microsoft Office

Java

Wing Keyboard Driver

I'm not familiar enough with each of the registry tweaks you mentioned.

Ivan's Tweaks sound fine, Beam disabled (since there is no IR), disable the security warnings, disable the sliding sounds, get TZ from the network, enable file cache, hide sim contacts, Increase FileSystem filter cache, INcrease font cache, and most definitely get rid of SMS sent message notification if that isn't in there. Also IE temp files on the storage card would be grand.

Ideally the Comm settings would be set for Tmobile USA. (But I don't need My5)

And whatever applications are part of the core OS. I'm not all that unpleased with the stock rom for the wing. I uninstalled a bunch of applications when I got it and haven't had to hard reset it since so I don't remember all the different bloat that came on there. I just would like a bit less of a memory leak, a few good registry tweaks, and of course an update to wm6.1.

If the stock ringtones and sounds can be cut to save space, I'm all for it. However, I read on some of your other posts that you have to get to a certain size on the ROM or it fails. So if that is the case, the sounds/rings can stay.

And as long as I can flash back to the stock rom if I have to warranty this bad boy, I'm as happy as a clam. Maybe I'm crazy but I prefer installing applications outside of the rom process. I like starting with a clean base. The only things I have installed are Google Maps, SPB Wallet and SPB Pocket Plus. Like I said, I try to keep it very simple.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] bowlopho:
you can wait for open touch 4 =] that's what I am doing.

I'm currently using touch-it vista style.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Sounds like how I like my ROMs.

My ROMs are stripped to the bare minimum. Yes, there is a size requirement that I've been trying to find a way to bypass it but my kitchen DOES work around the problem by inflating ROMs that are too small into the correct size with empty space. I haven't had time to work on this, yet, as I'm heading to work right now, but I will try to get it done tonight.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
never mind, wrong...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rosewood:
Thank you ivanmmj. I would say keep the sounds in then since taking them out doesn't really do anything.

Would it be possible to put something in that could be deleted post install? I am just tossing out ideas.

As for "waiting for open touch 4" and using touch-it vista style, I've looked at the threads for that and it just has a bunch of stuff, like the HTC today screen stuff that I don't ever want to use. My today screen is very clean. It has Tmobile's plugin that shows network, date, wifi and bluetooth status. It has my owner info and my calendar info. This is it. I used to use SPB Diary but it was a memory hog and I never did like the clutter.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
You don't need the sounds and the less files, the faster the ROM. You can't uninstall anything that's built into the ROM, only things installed after through the ExtROM or anything else. The padding I put in makes the ROM bigger but doesn't add any files. It's all HEX.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] rosewood:
Well fast is what makes my day :)

I can't wait for you to work your magic.

Thanks

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hwwof:
I’ve been lurking on these forums for a while and I have decided that I’m willing to take the risk to unlock my Thor’s potential. I have made sure to read through advised reading materials, and searching through other posts before posting. (I tried figuring out how to quote multiple posts to make this thread easier to navigate but I couldn't, sorry)

Device: Kindle Fire HDX 7” 3rd Generation running Fire OS 4.5.5.3

I will be using a Windows 10 Home machine to do this.

Purpose: Allow for the device to work well in Google’s ecosystem so I can have a useful device for medical school.

I am currently trying to learn the steps outlined here, but I have some concerns:

Does it matter whether or not I factory reset my device before I begin?

Will my computer’s OS cause any issues? According to this, there might be some driver issues? Should I download the “Motorola Device manager”?

Where is the “aboot_vuln.mbn” file? Do I obtain it once I follow the steps in order?

I want to use “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” instead of the attached “15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3” because the later has not been updated in a while and the former was updated this month. According to the install instructions for the former, I need to have my device already plugged in and the “kindle fire USB driver” already installed. Will this affect step 4 of the procedure or anything else?

On step 5, am I correct in my assumption that changing the driver will be a simple few click process?

On step 6, do I follow the directions as they are quoted, or the ones on the original forum? If the later, does “change to the directory with the extracted dd.exe” mean to type the directory or something else? Also, a poster here stated that he got error message on the second 2 commands instead of the first, is the concerning at all? Should I take any precautionary measures?

Once step 9 is completed, can the kindle run as normal if I don’t flash anything? And what does it mean “get into the TWRP”? I’ll simply be in the recovery menu on the kindle? How do I flash my chosen ROM using TWRP?

What ROM do you recommend for my needs? And could you provide me a link to the correct download/discussion board? I would prefer a ROM running at least Nougat that has long-term support planned. I read that “Fire Nexus ROM” is pretty basic, so I don’t think I want it. As of now, I’m looking at CM/Lineage 14.1, but I don’t know what ROM would work on my device from the website. AospExtended seems like a good option but apparently, there are wi-fi issues which are a deal-breaker.

Thank you so much for reading through this. Hopefully all my research and proves to be useful for anyone trying to help. If I’m able to get this working cleanly, I would be willing to make a cleaned up guide for this version and device to better aid future people.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Hello [MENTION=6720250]hwwof[/MENTION] -

You have done your homework (thank you!) and presented reasonable questions. I'm going to answer the first five 'in-line' below. Responses will be brief to keep the thread serviceable for those accessing XDA content on small screens; don't read anything into that. Bounce back on any items that need further elaboration.

No; however, it would be better if you did NOT reset the device.

Nope. Drivers installed via the Motorola Device manager are properly signed which mitigates any potential issues on 64-bit Win 10 builds (yet another reason to use the Moto drivers vs others that have been posted)

It's contained within aboot-13-thor.zip; just named differently.

Good idea. Your device does not need to be tethered while installing Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Take note of where the package is installed (typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot") and practice opening a command window focused in that folder. To make life simpler you can direct the installer to place the files in "c:\work" which is a lot easier to type.

Yes - but here's were it gets interesting and a bit frustrating. Even with the Moto drivers Windows can be very fussy communicating with HDX devices. To complicate matters there are two modes to deal with: ADB and Fastboot. You'll learn which is which as time goes on and will likely have to switch Windows drivers for each mode. Sometimes a reboot is needed to get everyone talking. Note there is no danger involved simply tethering your device and issuing basic queries.

To test basic ADB communications:

- execute step #2 (only) from the linked procedure

- open a Windows command prompt as outlined above

- boot HDX into FireOS and move past the screen lock

- tether device to windows; take note of any noises and/or confirmation messages

- in the window command prompt issue the command "adb devices" and press Enter. What happens?

Post back results and we'll go from there.

Thank you [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] . I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. Answers to the other questions would be very appreciated as well!

Here are my results that you requested:

The kindle beeped, and the internal storage popped up on my computer. I ran the minimal adb and fastboot program, and got this output:

C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
D0FBA0A0351401GB unauthorized

C:\adb>

And on the kindle, I got a “Allow USV debugging” popup on the kindle and it showed my computer’s RSA Fingerprint. I then pressed allow. I took note of the fingerprint just in case. I then tried ejecting my device but it wouldn’t let me because a program was still using it. I ran “adb devices” again and got this output:

C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
D0FBA0A0351401GB device

C:\adb>
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Second response is positive. Next issue the following command: 'adb reboot bootloader'. This will place your device in fastboot mode. If you are very lucky a 'Ready' prompt will appear on the device below the word 'fastboot'. Most likely you will need to head to Windows Device Manager, identify which entry is associated with the tethered HDX and then change the device driver to 'Moto Composite' or something similar (might not have the wording exactly right). Once you get a 'Ready' prompt issue the following command: 'fastboot devices'. If you get a response similar to 'adb devices' then you are good to go.

Hints/tips:

- to help determine which entry(s) are associated with your HDX tether/untether your device while Windows Device Manager is open

- right click an entry to change the device driver; navigate 'Browse my computer ...' -> 'Let me pick ...'; do not choose any of the automated options

- if you can't get a Ready prompt and/or an response to 'fastboot devices' reboot both devices and try again

- if still no joy change USB ports and cables; the latter are especially problematic (people never believe that until trying 1821 other things - ugh!)

Report back and we'll go from there. I know you prefer the rest of your questions answered up front. Experience suggests an incremental approach is more productive - for you, me and future readers.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hwwof:
Thank you! Now it says "ready" but I'm concerned about how to unplug it without messing anything up. here's the output:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.248]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader

C:\adb>fastboot devices
D0FBA0A0351401GB fastboot

C:\adb>

You are correct that I would prefer having all the answers upfront, but it's only so I can then question the answers to get a better understanding before messing with the device. A quick reply would be appreciated!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Great!! The purpose of this exercise was to validate connectivity in two different modes and, if needed, provide a safe 'test' environment for remediation. No worries about breaking the tether if there is no active data transfer taking place. Simply unplug and then long press <power> until the device shuts down.

In response to your other questions:

Q: On step 6, do I follow the directions as they are quoted, or the ones on the original forum? If the later, does “change to the directory with the extracted dd.exe” mean to type the directory or something else? Also, a poster here stated that he got error message on the second 2 commands instead of the first, is the concerning at all? Should I take any precautionary measures?

A: Follow the steps as quoted

Q: Once step 9 is completed, can the kindle run as normal if I don’t flash anything? And what does it mean “get into the TWRP”? I’ll simply be in the recovery menu on the kindle? How do I flash my chosen ROM using TWRP?

A1: You should assume all content on your device will be erased following completion of Step #9 (although it will likely remain intact)

A2: The two files you will be 'flashing' with the dd command should be located in the same folder as "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"

A3: Deal with that later (flashing ROM)

Q: ROMs:

A: All of the Nougat based custom ROMs for HDX are stable and feature complete. Nuances are subtle and probably not worth worrying about now; you can always change later. My personal preference is AEX (AospExtended). That said, Lineage 14.1 and Slim 7 are both excellent alternatives.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hwwof:
So I completed the instructions, booted to TWRP, turned it off, booted up, did the unlock batch, but I didn't get "unlock code is correct".

Did I mess something up or am I unlocked? I'm not sure what to do from here. I was still able to get back to TWRP. It's telling me to swipe to allow modifications or to keep read only. Where do I proceed from here? I'm reading in some places to wipe before installing, and a lot of other conflicting information. I downlaoded the AEX november build and would like to flash it. Do I have any need for rooting or SuperSU?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Quick activity while you wait:

- boot into TWRP (power down; press <power>+<vol-up> for ~3 sec then release)

- swipe to allow modifications

- tap the backup option, select all partitions except cache, swipe to execute

- when complete tether device; should connect in adb mode

- from look for a new device/drive in Windows File Explorer

- click <device ID> -> Internal Storage; should see a folder named TWRP

- drag or right-click folder to a storage location on your Win 10 machine

- congrats! You have just made a backup of your device -and- placed a reserve copy on your Windows machine

Comment: prior to backing up you had completed the most risky tasks (stuff that could have yielded a soft/hard brick). It's all downhill from here. Will post more info on unlocking and installing a new ROM in a bit; real-life is calling :). Fully understand if you need to sleep; post will be waiting in the morning.
