I think I figured it out but this won't work for everyone. After opening settings using the pull down notification menu, this reenabled the recent apps which allowed me to open Nova launcher. I rerooted using the offline method here https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/hd-10-2017-offline-rooting-t3734860 which thankfully still works. After that I was able to use Titanium backup to freeze the new "Launcher 1.0........".

Everything is now running like before the update.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autobulb:
Not able to disable the stock launcher with the old method, pm disable, once you have root?

EDIT: Was finally able to try some stuff on my tablet. I was able to get root due to your method you linked, which BIG thank you by the way as that method is way less fishy than Kingroot nonsense, and was able to disable the launcher with the "pm disable com.amazon.paladin" command. Seems like they gave their new launcher the name Paladin.

And I'm back to Nova launcher! Thanks so much.

I'm just hoping the new version doesn't make it even harder to root the 8. It's already seeming hopeless. I had updates blocked at the router level. It updated at work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk will update the tablet even if blocked at that level. Amazon uses several IPs which change often. You have to disable that apk or completely removed it. You can try NetGuard firewall. You have to buy the features, but it allows you to block individual IPs. On my HD 8, before I posted a guide on how to disable system apps on 5.4.0.0, at one point I had a dozen or more IPs blocked through NetGuard. It will take time to tinker with all it's features, but I don't regret buying them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dankees:
Ugh, me too!

No notification bar.

I'm unclear as to what I can do to remedy this.

I have Nova Launcher running and I am a novice.

Can someone please tell me what to do?

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

OK, update...

So, I restarted a couple of times, and like the third time I restarted, another update applied and a video about "Show Mode" displayed. I sped to the end of it.

I also (previously) turned off "Show Mode" on the lockscreen.

Then, I backed-up my Nova and shared it via Gmail.

Suddenly, the navigation buttons on the bottom appeared and the notification bar showed.

Does that mean it got fixed (somehow) with that orange-screened update that showed upon restarting?

Also, how can I halt any further updates?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
When I received the 5.6.2.0 update, I had the same problem of no pull-down menu and no navigation buttons. I had previously installed Google Play, Nova and LauncherHijack. I did not have root. I called Amazon tech support and the guy connected with their MayDay remote assistance program, so I'm sure he could see I was running Google and Nova. We went thru several reboots and checked settings, but he was still stumped. Finally we did a factory reset and reapplied the 5.6.2.0. update and it started working. I have since reinstall Google Play, Nova and LauncherHijack and everything is running fine. My suspicion is that LauncherHijack is blocking the complete install. I read another post that exactly described this issue. In that case the user uninstalled Nova and LauncherHijack and powered off and back on. The installation then continued and when completed, the Show Mode video ran. I contacted the author of LauncherHijack and he said he would check it when he got the update.

Bottom line--if your tablet updates to 5.6.2.0 but the Show Mode video does not appear, the installation has failed/hung before it completed (even if it says the update completed). If you have LauncherHijack installed, try uninstalling it, cycle power and see if that fixes the problem.

I know this won't work for everyone but I was lucky enough to manage to access the Play Store when I noticed this happened on my HD10 and saw that the last app updated was amazon alexa under "Recently Updated" in the "My Apps and Games" section. I hit uninstall and rebooted. Show mode setup then came up normally after reboot and after the setup process for that everything worked normally again. Re-updated alexa and everything is working perfectly now. This worked for me so it's worth a shot but I might have just gotten lucky.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFSP G35:
I got the orange screen, rebooted, still had it, tried several times locking and unlocking and kinda fiddling around, from the lock screen pulled the little "tag" icon (swipe for offers I think?)

At some point I was able to get into my email client (type mail) but only had a back button, no home or task buttons. Restarted again, same kind of fiddling around, and somehow it ended up playing the video. Skipped to the end, disabled Alexa when prompted and ended up on my normal home screen with all three nav buttons. Everything seems to be back to normal now. FYI, I'm running Nova, launcher hijack, all the standard Google apps including play store, and I didn't have to uninstall anything. I wish I knew the exact sequence that got it to work, but I'm really not sure... Maybe it wasn't even anything I did? Maybe it was just taking time downloading that obnoxious video?

It is nerve-wracking when something like this comes up knowing that they could push an update that messes everything up and there's basically nothing we can do about it.

I really really hope we can get root on this device

A Solution - At Least For Me!

I found a simple way around it - if rooted.

I had to re-root, but that wasn't too difficult using existing resources.

Through some trial and error I figured out "com.amazon.paladin" is linked to the Alexa/Show Launcher (that's what I'm calling it at this point).

You can disable it with the following via ADB. It should revert back to your default launcher.

I also had Nova Launcher installed, so I disabled the stock launcher (the second pm line below).

adb shell
$ su
# pm disable com.amazon.paladin
# pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Touchpad64gb:
Thanks for the Tip! I was able to Root again after the 5.6.2.0 Update with the Original root method but it Kept on getting stuck on the Show Mode. I applied the commands pm enable com.teslacoilsw.launcher and then pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher, even though it said firelauncher was disabled it wasn't. After reading your post and applying the command pm disable com.amazon.paladin it went back to Nova Launcher immediately! Those sneaky Bastards OBOZO (Amazon) Thanks again....:good:

If you want to use a YIM-compatible interface that allows those things, you're probably going to have to pay. Not only for the software, but in data transfer (unless you spring for an unlimited data plan).

Even with unlimited data, though, file transfers will be painfully slow on GPRS. WiFi is better, but you're anchored to a location, then.

And on a personal side-note: Better grammar will get you a lot more responses. Nobody minds deciphering for non-native English, but you clearly are just street-ing everything to sound "Kewl." This isn't English Lit 495, but please, communicate effectively if you expect the same in return.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rokeno:
I have a few applications, one of them i usually use CamScanner. Of course, there is Office Lens, Google drive Scan, but something happened recently: i can no longer scan documents. The app openes with the camera, but when i press the photo button to take a picture, the app freezes for a few seconds then allows me to press again. (this happenes in CamScanner)

Office lens allows me to push but there is no picture taken to be scanned.

Google drive freezes as well for 1-2 seconds.

At first i thought: ok, i might have installed something, since the phone was rooted, TWRP installed (camera working!! i can take normal pictures), and messed up with the camera. Took the fastboot route and cleaned the rom again with a script, reinstalled the OS, all partitions (no exceptions), Data partition formated (backed up!): same thing. Installed both apps, none take pictures. This worked a few days ago, nothing much changed in between ( i might be subjective :) ). But on a clear phone?

I need to know what's going on...

Oh, something to add: for about 1-2 weeks, i have been having some strange movement on the screen with the gboard, appearing and re-appearing when i was trying to type, like some pixel was pressing on the screen on the right side, down. Some pixel on the touch screen pressing continuously? I dunno, nothing else is affected, i can write, take pictures and so on...

Right now it's not manifesting on the clean install...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] pdppdp:
That sounds strange. I am using mobile doc scanner from STOIK Soft without any problems (rooted, magisk, xposed). It also gives you the option to load existing images on your phone to load and edit.

Maybe try this and see if it works.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rokeno:
Tried the app, only works with the system camera, and not the camera from the app. I don't understand what's going on....

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
I just received the 5.6.2.0 update with Show Mode. I looks nice but I just realized that the screen orientation for Show Mode is fixed to only one horizontal position (power, volume and charging port to the right). I (and I assume many others) have a case that I bought from Amazon that puts these controls on the left. Thus, the Show Mode screen is upside down when the case is used as a stand. Maybe this is how Amazon figures to sell a bunch of those Show Mode docks. :)

Anyway, if any of the XDA developers here can take a look and see if there is a way to flip the screen, it sure would make a lot of folks happy!! Thanks!!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rortiz2:
You can use rotation control that you can download from google play
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
I tried several of those and they are good for what they do, but Show Mode is a unique situation. The rotation controllers can rotate to sensor (Show Mode overrides), they can lock to a specific orientation (when Show Mode is exited, the tablet is still locked in that orientation), or rotate on app (Show Mode is not an "app" so it's can't be selected as a controlling app). There is a pro version of one of the controllers that can control rotation based on a condition (charging, headphones, etc.) that might work when Show Mode is active, but that would have to be coded into that app.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Likely could be overridden with privileged access (aka 'root') which is not obtainable on most 7th gen devices (at present only HD 10). Request should be directed to Amazon where implementation, if adopted, would benefit a much larger community.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixelpop:
I thought about submitting a request to Amazon, but there are two reasons I haven't: 1) they want to sell lots of docks and 2) even if they did decide to implement it, it generally takes months from that point until we see a release that contains it.

PS - Amazon made a conscious decision to lock the orientation in Show Mode rather than relying on rotation sensors. I'm sure this was done to support the Show Mode dock (sold separately). I have a 3D printer and I'll just print out a simple stand that will accommodate my tablet with its case. I'm sure that several other companies will be selling these too. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Haphim:
I have a SGH-I337 (jflteatt) with an MDL bootloader. I have been running CyanogenMod 11 (KitKat), rooted, for quite some time without any problems.

I updated to TWRP 3.1.1.0, then wiped and updated to LineageOS 14.1 using this rom.

The problem is that I can no longer root my phone for the life of me. Here's what I've tried and their results:

1. Magisk 16.0 and 16.6: Installs with no errors, but upon reboot, bricks on the Samsung Logo.

2. SuperSU (normal systemless): Not installed properly. Fails on patching the boot image. It says the boot image is already patched, then fails on the ramdisk extraction, if I remember correctly.

3. SuperSU (system mode): Installs with no errors, but then bricks on the Lineage boot screen.

4. LineageOS addonsu: Installs with no errors, but doesn't seem to do anything. I still don't have root.

I'm at an utter loss. Am I having issues because these root methods are not doing something that the MDL bootloader requires? Are they failing because I'm coming from KitKat?

I would be grateful for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
I'm on the MDL bootloader too. I rooted it on jelly bean 4.2.2 using towel root. Kingroot will probably work too, but it installs a bunch of nonsense after root so you have to disable and delete that and install superSU.
