Yes, DHCP still works in the all four of the tablets that I ran this on.

What version of FireOS did you start with?

The script renames the hostname of the tablet. You can comment that part out and see if the same thing happens. REM out the following lines:

echo.
echo ****** Set a hostname for the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2017) ******
echo.
echo Please type a hostname
set /P hname=
echo.
echo The host name will be set to "%hname%"
echo.

set /P host_answer="Is "%hname%" correct? (Y/N) "

if "%host_answer%"=="y" goto after_host
if "%host_answer%"=="n" cls & goto set_host

cls
echo.
echo Please only enter "y" or "n")
echo.
goto :set_host

REM ** Change Fire hostname **
echo.
echo Setting the Amazon Fire HD 8 (2017) hostname to %hname% ...
echo.
.\adb\adb pull /system/build.prop
echo net.hostname=%hname% >> build.prop
echo. >> build.prop
.\adb\adb push build.prop /sdcard/
.\adb\adb shell su -c mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/
.\adb\adb shell su -c chown 0:0 /system/build.prop
.\adb\adb shell su -c chmod 644 /system/build.prop
del -f build.prop

Note that the command to remount system as read/write is in between the two code blocks, and needs to stay.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Rayvis:
All three started with 5.3.7.0. Remarking out the hostname lines let DHCP work. Without remarking out those lines, all three tablets would sit on Obtaining an IP address until it gave up and gave the DHCP error. Anyway, all is good now. In my case, I didn't need Amazon Video, Audible, or Kindle, so I was able to remove those packages as well with no ill effects. Thanks for doing all the leg work to make this happen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
Glad you got it working. Thanks for the feedback and letting me know.

Two more questions.

1. Can you let me know exactly what additional packages you removed for Video, Audible and Kindle?

2. Did you by chance try and use a non valid hostname in the script? I did not think about validating this entry in my script.

Valid characters for hostnames are ASCII(7) letters from a to z, the digits from 0 to 9, and the hyphen (-). A hostname may not start with a hyphen.​

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Rayvis:
1. After some research and testing, I removed the following additional packages:

com.amazon.kindle

com.amazon.kindle.cms

com.amazon.settings.systemupdates

com.amazon.whisperlink.activityview.android

com.amazon.whisperlink.core.android

com.amazon.whisperplay.contracts

amazon.speech.sim

com.amazon.alta.h2clientservice

com.amazon.device.messaging

com.audible.application.kindle

com.amazon.avod

2. It's possible that I had an invalid character in testing with the hostname. I can't remember off the top of my head what I tried to set my kid's tablet's hostnames as initially. I will test the script again on my tablet and ensure that the hostname is valid and I will report back.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
updated debloat script to check hostname

I updated the script to check/force a valid hostname. Can you test it for me? I'll update the links in the first post once I hear back. Thanks

debloat-new.bat
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Rayvis:
I can confirm that I must have been entering an invalid hostname previously. I had ran the original script again last night ensuring that the hostname was valid and at the end, DHCP was working fine still.

I also tested the new batch script for you and it appears to be working fine as well, minus one thing it doesn't appear to be checking for in the hostname checker. It doesn't seem to kick back hostnames that contain spaces.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
Thanks for testing - I fixed the issue with the spaces. I'm updating the links in the first post. Thanks for testing for me.

How to install Disney+, Netflix...

Hi and thanks very much for your post. It's exactly what I was looking for the tablet of my children. The script is awesome, I installed it yesterday with no problems at all. Now I have a problem that maybe it's a silly question... Disney+, Netflix and other apps available at Amazon appstore are not available from Google PlayStore but as the Amazon appstore was removed... how could I install them?

Thanks in advance
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
Glad you found the scrip useful.

You could try and edit the script to keep the Amazon appstore if you have a lot of apps that you need to get from Amazon. However, that kinda defeats the purpose of what I was trying to do with the script, so I don't have any desire to assist in troubleshooting if you have problems with this route.

If you only need a to install a couple apps, then those can easily be sideloaded. Lots of info out there about how to sideload an app.

For Disney+ and Netflix, an easy solution would be to install them via the Amazon Fire Tool Box. I installed both of the apps this way on one of my kids tablets and verified that both apps did start. See attached pictures.

I hope that helps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] marcoant:
Thank you very much. I'll try the Amazon Fire Tool Box. Thanks again!!!

Sure thing!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] gazzawazza:
am considering getting a Fire tablet (seem well regarded)

Stumbled across this thread

1) OS Updates. if one uses your debloat, does that stop OTA updates?

i'm assuming Amazon updates its Fire OS to pick up google security fixes, etc?

2) Alexa monitoring. Maybe this is a misrepresentation but I thought Alexa monitors what you say, etc. I thought there have been some privacy concerns about it. You mentioned tweaking Alexa functionality with your debloat. What Alexa functions have you retained? Can I stop Alexa monitoring me altogether?

Thanks,

Gary
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
1. The OTA update service has been disabled/deleted. This included security updates as well. Although, I'm not aware of Amazon pushing out any security updates for these tablets. The android base on this is 5.1, which was released in 2014, and I do not believe any security updates have been released for 5.1 since 2018.

2. If you run my script as posted, if will disable and remove all Alexa services. This includes the service which listens for the Alexa keyword. You will still find Alexa in the settings, but enabling it will not actually change anything. If you look at my spreadsheet, I did a fairly detailed analysis of all the apps, and I believe I have marked all the "apps" needed for Alexa to work if you wanted to retain that functionality.

Also, please note that this thread is specifically for the the HD8 2017 (coming up on 4 years old) and this script will certainly not work on a new Fire.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] gazzawazza:
thanks VERY much for taking the trouble to reply.

Crumbs. Oreo. That's pretty bad. I'd have thought the code will have been been updated and refined significantly by now, not to mention, i understand that Google's either finding or being alerted to vulnerabilities in ever increasing rates.

I have confirmed that later Fire hardware does have more up to date android versions (HD 10 is on fireOS 7x - i presume 7 may align to android 7). Even that though is some distance away from current security patches, if they don't patch for the monthly bulletins.

Sorry - tbh i didn't notice the spreadsheet or think to scrutinise by app.

Thanks also for the model support warning.

Cheers,

Gary
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] scoutdriver73:
FireOS 7 is Android version 9 (Pie), so Google is still pushing out security updates. But Amazon would then have to take the security updates and push them out to FireOS, and I don't know if they are doing this (doubtful). Updates for Android, security or otherwise, have always been a problem as it requires support from both Google and the OEM.

If security updates are high on a list of priorities, don't buy a FireOS device.

Bootloop after latest Magisk Update....now no root!

This popped up, so i updated.....been on that Rom for ages and i'm not a newbie....but 1 hour later STILL white LG logo!!!

pretty please help me out?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
Not sure what to tell you, but I've been on 20.4 for a while now with no issues (VS996 if that matters).

I'd suggest going back into TWRP, reinstalling Magisk (maybe an older version like 18.3 as I've heard newer versions sometimes have issues), then letting Magisk update to 20.4 from there once you're back in. I recall that I think I had to do that when I first installed this ROM... I had to install Magisk a few times for it to "take". I may have even used Magisk Uninstaller before installing it the last time.

Developer's journey

Since 2016, I have been working on ChainsDD's Superuser's su binary, fixing several bugs and security issues, to make them work on my devices. The result of that work is a fully rewritten/full-featured su binary and root access manager app: SuperPower - Root Access Manager!

SuperPower is highly compatible with SuperSU. Also, it uses the SuperSU's tools to ensure its working on SELinux-enabled devices.

Special thanks:

[MENTION=4717623]zinx[/MENTION]v, [MENTION=1562806]ChainsDD[/MENTION] and [MENTION=617884]Koush[/MENTION], for have built Superuser/su binary;

[Android Apps and Games] wandersonkalil:
After 14 days of release, Yesterday - 2020-04-29 - I received an email from Google Play stating that SuperPower v3.6 has been removed from Play Store due to a policy violation! Keep reading to understand the situation!

In v3.6, all the apps and processes that call the SuperPower's su binary run in private mount namespace by default, with an option/parameter to run in the master mount namespace (--mount-master), and another one to run in different mount namespaces (--mount-namespace).

However, allowing apps and processes that call the su binary to execute in mount namespaces other than their own mount namespace should be considered a security vulnerability, not a feature, as it disables an important Android security feature. Therefore, the --mount-master/--mount-namespace options are now out of the SuperPower's su binary's command-line.

From v3.7 onwards, all the apps and processes that invoke SuperPower's su binary - including SuperPower - will execute in their own mount namespace (on failure, the su binary fallback to running in private mount namespace).

Root app developers should be aware that this is the default behavior on Android 4.2.2, where su binary runs in non-daemon mode.

Thus, all of these changes make SuperPower the most secure Root Access Manager app available into the world.

Thanks for the work!

Will you share the app here? Still not available at play store.

Running in ghost mode is similar to Magisk hide?

And how is the installation procedure for people with/without Magisk installed.

Greetings & thanks for sharing your work. A few questions...

I am on Android 10 currently rooted with Magisk. I have downloaded the app from Play as well as updater apk (there are 2, what's the difference?)

I open updater & there's no option to update binaries. Any suggestions on what to try & which updater apk is correct for OP8 rooted with Magisk?

I understood that SU binaries would be updated from the app, does the tarp zip need to be flashed?

It would be great to have a Magisk Module for this.

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] PsYk0n4uT:
are you still updating this? does it play well with a11 or 12?
[Android Apps and Games] wandersonkalil:
SuperPower v5.6:

The 2 main reason for this version of SuperPower are:

1: I lost SuperPower's keystore (file needed to publish apps on Play Store)!

2: Android 11 have code execution restrictions that prevents SuperPower's prompt/notifications/logging from working!

3: Added su binary Updater feature to SuperPower.apk, you can now replace MAGISKSU BY SuperPower's su binary!

Important note: Android 12 fully break SuperPower su's binary from working:

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH from su binary is no longer possible/allowed by Android 12, meaning it's not possible to do a login shell (call /system/bin/sh) from SuperPower's su binary. There is no fix for that, and we can't bypass that system protection/restriction.

Update: the above restriction is already fixed: since we cannot call setenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "/system/lib", 1) from su binary on Android 12, the solution is to inherit the environment of the caller process for a new process image and call execve().

Update 2: we need to set /system/lib64 first instead of /system/lib so the linker link the binaries through the correct libc.so.

THere are two versions, one clean and one full. I use the full version and it fast as lightening, fastest ive tried even though its full its as fast as the clean editions.

If u do ur research u will see that many people say try some out, as ROms behave differently for different people, so get flashing NOW.

Hello, I've got this question when I downloaded a new firmware for my phone and found another pit file inside the package. I used that pit file to flash the new firmware instead of the original one extracted from my phone using Heimdall, but it gave me some issues such as file systems with wrong size and so on.

I found an option called "repartition" in Heimdall and Odin which does upload the new pit into the phone but I haven't tried that option yet.

The question is: Should I update the new partition file to my phone using the repartition option? Or should I keep using the old one?

Another question: Why do new releases have a pit file? Does that mean that I have to repartition my phone?

As you can see attached below the two files differ from 3 kilobytes of size

Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu.

Disable all power management.

Check -all- settings including hidden advanced ones in sounds.

Reset network connections and clear all associated apk caches (and data if needed).

Activate Developer Options and see if there's help there.

Avoid a hard reset as even if it happens to fix it more than likely the issue will return; find the root cause. If it works in Safe Mode it's a 3rd party app.

Play with it... Android's wuv attention*🤣
