7.3.1.1 -> 7.3.1.0 confirmed. need more ppl 2 test out other fw rev.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
i can give it a shot this weekend if i have a device that is on 7.3.1.1. But so few people got access to root or 7.3.1.1, unlocking may be moot if no developers have a want to make a rom. On that note, there should be a shorting method to access the bootrom. Amazon disabled the volume/power on trick somewhere between 7.3.1.2 and 7.3.1.7, not sure what version disabled the easy way. so what all does this do? just downgrade for accessibility to root? What do i need to do this, do i need access to bootrom to downgrade? Trying to read through the posts i got a little lost. I have 3 Mavericks and one is rooted. What would you like me to try, can you give me a step by step. Guess i am asking what rom are you looking for to attempt a downgrade from ? Let me know i will give it a shot, i just have my mavericks in a drawer right now...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] newnewcomputer:
all mine are on 7.3.1.0 so i havent gone thro' the procedure myself. its early n only got 1 confirmed successful case so far (the hack was just put together n tested last few days).

@k4y0z thinks it should work on fw rev. newer than 7.3.1.1. first is to run the bypass utility; then the rollback. if it works out, ur tab will now be running 7.3.1.0 which allows the mtk-su root.

looks like someone has just tried n run into a problem...will need to see how it works out in that thread. good luck!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
Do you need access to the bootrom to use this? If someone can find access to the bootrom on a updated rom this exploit has a further chance to develop into a custom rom. I suspect the old shorting method should be possible, but i have no idea where to look on the board. I have had it apart before but didn't see anything standing out... but anyways i am charging up my mavericks to see what i have, i know i have a 7.3.1.0, a 7.3.1.1 and a 7.3.1.7. So to be clear, boot into bootrom (volume down and plug in) then run the bypass and rollback? I will test the 7.3.1.1 since i know this one is more likely to succeed
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] StonedEngineer97:
Yeah there was a successful downgrade from 7.3.1.1 already, it has the same lk/pl as 7.3.1.0 but I haven't been able to get into the bootrom on 7.3.1.2, might need to look into shorting a pin.

I think bootrom through the volume button was killed before 7.3.1.7 though
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] SubparBob:
I can confirm bootrom through the volume button on v7.3.1.7 is not working.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
Do i need to run the bypass utility in linux? I am not familiar with this tool... Have any step by step instructions? i will do my 7311 then i will open my other on 7317 and start looking for a short option (i dont care if i destroy one of these testing, lol). I am going to go deep into it in the morning...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] k4y0z:
@Michajin The bypass-utility will run fine on windows, check the README how to set up python and libusb on windows.

I'm not sure if the kamakiri-RPMB Downgrade will work on windows though.

You can use FireISO for both, it should have everything included.

Steps would be:

Run bypass-utility to disable authentication.

Use SP Flash Tool to flash 7.3.1.0

If it doesn't boot due to anti-rollback, run the kamakiri RPMB-downgrade

As for the shorting, there are some options on the back of the board.

Compare with suez (Fire HD 10 - 2017)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
After seeing a few results, it seems the hardware fix was put into play. I had 2 access points to get into the bootrom when i was on 7.3.1.7/8 before downgrading. I believe the bootrom was disabled on devices. Looking for anyone who has a device purchased before 09/2020. Downgrading to 7.3.1.0 can be completed if you have access to the bootrom. Bootrom access was available to me with the battery disconnected, volume + and then plugging in. There is a shorting option that was working also (fairly easy but doesn't seem necessary with the access). At this point i had to format the preloader because it wouldnt read the emmc without the battery, but the battery when plugged in would load the preloader. Thanks to @k4y0z for his fantastic work. I will be donating a maverick and sloane for his efforts to support us all!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] highspeedfelon:
I have one I bought in July 2020 it has 7.3.1.5 on it. I tried some stuff but not sure if I am doing everything right or not so I would need a step-by-step of what to do.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
What have you tried? The easiest way I have found is to run fireISO and the bootrom-step. When you see "remove short to continue" (but don't hit enter) in another terminal run a lsusb, if you see medtek phone 6227, you are in the bootrom. On my devices I opened the device unplugged the battery. While pressing the volume+ plugging into the usb. The other way is a shooting method that seems reliable for me. But I don't think that with work out the plugging in doesn't. Unplug the tablet or hit ctrl-c to cancel. Have you ever used fireISO or amonet?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] highspeedfelon:
I have used fireiso on a fire stick and when I run the bootrom-step it says something about the serial being wrong. That’s with battery being unplugged and does same thing regardless of volume button being held or not. I could not get fireiso 2 working so I am using an earlier one if that matters. What needs to be shorted?

I am willing to try anything if I kill the tablet it’s not a big deal.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaze2051:
same here i just picked up a 2019 HD 10 and its on 7.3.1.7
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
Sounds like you bootrom is disabled. I could send you a picture of what i short to get into the bootrom, but I don't think it matters, because i could access the bootrom with the volume button and battery disconnected just as well. Everything points to a hardware revision block early in its release. Going off other devices, i would suspect device purchase would have to be before march of 2020.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] highspeedfelon:
Yeah send me a pic of what you shorted and I will try that.

On Windows when I hold volume+ with battery disconnected then plug in USB LibUSB filter wizard looks like it detects a new device but it happens so fast I cant see what, then Windows says the device malfunctioned.

On Ubuntu (with patched kernel) I get "Serial protocol mismatch, expected 0001 got 0000"

I am not 100% I am not doing something wrong
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
i would suggest you start following this thread. lot number seems to the the tell-all so far.

I have not seen anything that can be downgraded higher J949 (9= 2019 and 49 being week 49, from our view)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Michajin:
The only ones that can downgrade is the one released prior to Jan 2020. It is possible Amazon blocked those now with the e-Fuse if updated in the last about 6 months.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kyoung1033:
I just received and started using the RAM mount tough charge with X grip wireless charger that I use for a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-HOL-UN12WB

I use it to attach and use my phone on my wheelchair. The charger is connected to a regular USB port which draws power from the power wheelchair batteries. As I use my phone, the wireless charging constantly and randomly stops working and the phone keeps on popping up that the wireless charging is paused with the light of the charger going red but then several seconds later it will start working again and the light turns green. I don't know if it's related but I have noticed the phone does get hot while charging on this particular charger as I use the phone. I just recently received a notification saying it was paused because the phone got too hot. I also turned off the fast wireless charging setting on my phone. I haven't had the same issue or have the first day it got too hot with other wireless chargers using the same USB connection of the wheelchair and plugged into a regular wall outlet. Do you have any suggestion to fix this issue? Is there a possibility I have a defective unit? If you can't think of a fix, is there a way anybody has figured out how to disable the wireless charging paused and the wireless charging pop-up notifications? It is quite annoying because when it starts charging the notification takes up much of the screen in the center. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
That is only 10W charger so it can't do quick charge.

But maybe there is defekt in the wireless charger. Also rare names usually is typical China product that isn't well known and usually are poorly made so problems like these may occur
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kyoung1033:
It is actually a quite reputable company that makes lots of phone and tablet mounts. I will contact the company because it sounds like it could be a defective product. I was just seeing if anybody have ideas. It could be an overheating issue. As it charges, the temperature moves anywhere between 96 degrees Fahrenheit + 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that a normal temperature range?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kyoung1033:
Is there a way to get rid of the wireless notification when it is charging and paused? Especially when it starts charging the pop-up is annoying
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] kyoung1033:
I just looked up the information for the USB charging port adapter for the wheelchair. It says it can power up to 1.5A at 5V. Would there be an issue if the wireless charger is 10W?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] tdodd:
There might be an issue. If the USB port can only supply 7.5W then it will be impossible for the wireless charger to send 10W to the phone. Subtract losses for wireless charging inefficiency and you'd be lucky to see even 5W arrive at the phone. Depending on how good the link is from charger to phone in terms of gap and alignment you might get even less.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Snow02:
It's not just you. Mine has been doing that the last couple weeks too. On an older samsung wireless charger.

Seems like it started after one of the software updates, but can't be positive.

I just installed the android 11 update and am going to see if that fixes it. My wireless charger is at work so can't try it out until tomorrow.

I will say the phone is very noticeably faster after the android 11 update.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmp2k:
So this is a fairly bespoke Android setup, by default the only app store you can install is Amazon Appstore. I can transfer APKs over via USB, so I've had a look at CPU-Z and it's got a 32bit CPU and Android 6. (there's just no specs/info available online about this device) So I've downloaded and installed...

Google Services Framework 5.1-1743759

Google Play services 19.6.68 (020300-281397792) (020300)

Google Account Manager 7.1.2 (Android 6.0+)

Google Play Store 22.1.18-16 [0] [PR] 334276832 (nodpi) (Android 4.1+)

If I try and open Play Store it hangs on the logo for a while and then fails. I've noticed after installing the packages CPU-Z also stops working. So I'm guessing it's trying to query something form one of those packages and hanging in the same way Play Store does. If I install youTube Kids app directly from an APK this opens but then hangs. If I uninstall the packages, then CPU-Z starts working and youTube Kids comes up with an error saying that it needs Play Services.

So I'm guessing I've got the wrong version of something. Also I've tried restarting etc and at no point does it come up with the Google account setup/login.

Any ideas? I just want to get youTube Kids on this without removing all the Vtech kids OS stuff. I can add Apps to the kids profile, but only ones from Amazon Appstore (so not youTube Kids)
