Reset my Fire HD 10 (7th generation) 5.6.2.0 back to factory and rooted it without any issues following this offline root method.

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/hd-10-2017-offline-rooting-t3734860

Disabled OTA using commands from here.

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/help/fire-10-2017-fire-os-5-6-uninstall-t3709437/post77437463

All the files downloaded and installed from internal storage.

6, 7, 8(part 1) executed as per instructions.

8(part 2) didnt get asked.

Everything went real smooth so no issues to report. My Fire HD 10 (7th generation) 5.6.2.0 fully compatible with all of it

How do I know OTA really disabled?

How do I know the 4 apk are updating and when they are done updating or it doesnt matter if I evoke an error trying to open Playstore?

[MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION] your work help and support is truly appreciated.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
You'll get an error or force close as the apks update. Check apk mirror for the latest versions. Play store is 11.6.18. I'll enable my OTA apk later and grab a screen shot for everyone to see. It's very fast and will start downloading the second it's activated and WiFi is on. It's the only apk responsible for downloading and installing system updates sent by Amazon only.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Here you go. Luckily I was able to circumvent the update before anything could install.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
UPDATE

I added a few more additional steps. For those of you still having issues, you need to specifiy the location providers manually. The easiest way to do this is through the Settings Database Editor app. These last steps should fix the issue.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leemidi@gmail.com:
For my clarification on additional steps added

DragonFire1024 - Am I to understand that the 'additional steps' you mention here are those posted on the 1st page of the thread (attach to a PC - use terminal - etc...) or is the Location Provider info found somewhere else & added via method previously described. + I ALSO assume this is NOT Mac friendly - correct? thanks in advance - leemidi
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Sometimes the second box doesn't com up. It could also be the framework settings. Amazon removed com.android.gms from the configuration. Probably to support their location services, (Amazon Platform app) which isn't very good at all. They also use some private company that specializes in indoor GPS (HERE app). However none of this is any good if you don't register the tablet. So when Google location takes over, you sometimes have to manually set the settings in secure settings (location providers allowed) because they don't change on their own.

I don't own a Mac. So I am clueless as to what Mac friendly is.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
So I went ahead and reinstalled the play store apks twice, deleted the data files and the apks. I couldn't get the Google accuracy to fully turn on unless I installed them as system apps and then flashed my framework mod (which has com.android.gms readded to location providers). The reason we get away with semi accurate location is because of com.android.fusedlocation. that's integrated into android and causes problems when removed. Probably causes too much trouble for Amazon to replace it so they left it.

EDIT: nevermind. i got it to work by revoking and then granting it and it got permissions now

can somebody by chance see if they can get GPS for the Torque app on there Kindle? the other apps seem to work fine but i cant get the Torque app to connect to GPS still

It seems to be working now on my 2017 Fire HD 10 7th Generation with Fire OS 5.3.6.4, but I had to change the command.

** pm grant by4a.setedit22 Android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS **

Had to change to lower case a in Android.permission... to get it to accept the command in adb. Thanks!

I guess we can't do steps 9 through 12 if we have a Fire HD8 (7th gen) that we can not root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
You need settings database editor app and adb. No root needed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercarrera:
Hmm I guess I'm a noob then because I can do everything except when I use the "su" command and the "pm grant" commands in step 9 I get errors. I'm not sure how to remedy that. I assumed "su" was superuser. I'm not really sure what "adb shell" means either.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarade:
Try this.

The ADB and SetEdit instructions in the first post do not work for me. It looks like it works as ADB does not return any error messages, however in SetEdit after I hit 'save' after editing location_providers_allowed to gps,network - my changes are not saved. No error message or anything. A reboot doesn't change anything.

That said, I was able to change location_providers_allowed using ADB by typing this:

adb shell
adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed +gps,network

Then reboot. Checking SetEdit shows

location_providers_allowed "gps,network"

survived the reboot.

However, whether any of this had any impact on my GPS is yet unknown, as I chalk up just being able to finally edit the location_providers_allowed value as a victory.

Using a Fire HD8 2018 unrooted (obviously) btw.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

I forgot to ask - I'm using my powers of deduction to assume these are location-related keys, therefore their values could impact location connectivity. What SHOULD their values be?

allowed_geolocation_origins
locationPackagePrefixBlacklist
locationPackagePrefixWhitelist
MasterlocationPackagePrefixBlacklist
MasterlocationPackagePrefixWhitelist
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
They set themselves as needed. There is a GPS chip in the tablets, but it's not activated in the kernel. The tablets, with play store installed, rely on certain values to be set in order to properly work. Without root, this is the best you can do. If you were able to use my framework apk, you could flash gaps, install my framework and everything location wise works like a charm because I readded com.google.android.gms back into the framework's location settings. Amazon removed it so secure settings is as far as you'll be able to get to optimize location without root.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken98045:
Location for built-in apps (Alexa/Weather for instance) incorrect

So, I do get the correct location for Weather Underground, Google Maps, etc. However, built-in apps such as weather, Alexa, and whatever the standard map is all think I'm in Fort Collins, CO and vicinity.

Should I be expecting these apps to be corrected?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken98045:
Things are worse!

It appears that the change made via SetEdit goes away when you turn off/on location services. It did survive reboot, but not that. As far as I can tell the setting does nothing anyway.

Before I attempted to follow these directions Google Maps did work, However, after following these steps (as a repeat) at some point it stopped working. I never did get the native apps to recognize the correct location. I do admit that I didn't try starting over again (for a third try).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Turn off location services. Then open the chrome app, or maps or something like that. You want one of the Google apps to trigger location accuracy. Tap yes when the box pops up. If on my framework mod, HERE and com.amazon.platform have been removed from the framework and you are using googles fused location.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinTim:
Thanks for the clues. I didn't do any of the rooting (did not disable OTA, etc.) no settings database edits, etc.

1. fresh Kindle OS install

1.a confirm Location is "on" in settings.

2. download and install 4 APKs

2.a install 4 apks

3. reboot

3.a click ok on location services

3b. toggle location services off and back on (doubt this is necessary)

4. install google maps

4a. turn OFF location services (kindle settings)

4b. start google maps app

4c. say "yes" (or "ok") to turning on location services

4d. confirm google maps has blue dot for location.

5. install youtubeTV from Play store

5a. go into YTTV setting and click update location.

5b. success!!!!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
There is a value missing in the framework that makes it difficult to get it working properly. If you can link me to the firmware for your tablet I can try and modify it for the HD 8. Without editing the framework, it's hit or miss.

Three tries - no luck. FIre 8 7th gen OS 5.6.4.0 not rooted

OTA turned off (Amazon apps/appstore/automatic updates) Not registering the Kindle so not using appstore. (tried after registering too). Nevertheless, there are 19 kindle system updates waiting to be manually installed, with a warning that they will be installed automatically when the device is not in use.

After installing apps (using the built in Docs program) and reboot, waiting. Playstore updates and Play store updates, framework and account manager don't.

Also, after the reboot and the update, location services are off, despite having been on before the installation. I have tried turning them and and off and then off again, even get the prompts, Maps works with network only, but other GPS programs (eg gps status) don't see the GPS.

After editing the settings table (I tried before and after Maps), they just look for a GPS and don't get a signal. Google Settings/Location now goes straight to the Kindle Location settings page.

Allowed Kindle updates afterwards, no difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

GPS, Enable Hardware

Hey DragonFire, now that we have root on these tablets how difficult would it be to actually enable the GPS hardware?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
Depends on several factors. The biggest being getting a rom built that can communicate with the kernel and basically wake up the chip, which from my understanding is present on the HD 10, but when the kernel was built by Amazon or whoever built it, they did not order support for it. The second would be building a kernel that accepts the addition of the hardware drivers, something that despite my countless attempts, can only be done during build of the rom. That's just a few things.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Jannomag:
The P10 Selfie isn't a P10. This forum is just for the P10 VTR model.

You own a BAC which is completely different to the P10, and I really don't know why Huawei sells this in some regions as a P10 Selfie - it even doesn't look like a P10.

So, wrong forum for you - this is correct.
