Currently running OS 7.3.2.9 -

"Fire Toolbox is amazing and really improves the performance of the tablet. But I just want more."

Well, its getting to be more than that. The newest firmware really stops the capability that this tablet once had. What a mess the Amazon menuing system is. The new FTB is just not able to do what it once did.

There are hundreds of thousands of these things out there. It just seems like someone, somewhere would have tackled this by now. Amazon still sells the 2020 (Gen 10) too, so why no root for that? Even elsewhere besides XDA?

I have read on these forums that there is a way to temporarily short some pins, or solder some pins, but no one has posted anything other than "it can be done". Well - WHO DUNNIT? Anyone have anything?

I have a gen 10 HD 8 that I am waiting on a back cover for before I open it. I need to replace the digitizer and thought I would poke around a little, but where to start?

Hi there,

I forgot I even started this thread to begin with.

The closest I've seen since when it comes to getting root on these devices comes from a thread with this specific post:

Potential ARM Mali GPU based root (FireHD 8th -12th gen affected)

This is a general service announcement. There is vulnerability in the Mali GPU drivers that allows for root access discovered by security researcher Man Yue Mo (CVE-2022-38181). The vulnerability goes way back and affects almost any device with...

xdaforums.com

I was following it for about a month but hit a dead end when trying to run the exploit. This exploit is found in the Mali GPU that many of these tablets use. More of what the exploit does and how its explained can be found in that thread, along with progress on many different Fire tablets from several generations. As of now, the only tablet that was able to gain root from this method was the 2020 Fire HD 8, because a user adapted the exploit from a Fire TV cube to their tablet, but many of us think its possible for this exploit to be carried over to other fire tablets by changing a few values in the exploit.

Feel free to head over to that thread if you want to contribute. Fire OS version doesn't matter for the exploit as far as any of us know.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] lexscripta:
Thanks! I dont think I'd be of much use, unless there is some grunt labor thats needed, like inputting some values to test on a tablet, as requested or needed. Its been years since I programmed, and that was MySql & Sql, (rBase and dBase) and some proprietary stuff. Know Nada about Linux.

its very possible. this solution works on any fire tablet! Just simply open up the fire tablet, desolder and remove the memory chip, put it into a reader, and using a pc, modify the system partition to remove all amazon apps, or even give it an unlocked bootloader, and then solder the chip back onto the tablet. Done!

I don't think there is a way to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader. You need it unlocked for the adb and the fastboot commands to work.

There is a way to install through the ota update system, but I'm not sure how stable or safe it really is.

Why do you not want to unlock the bootloader? You don't need to have a rooted phone for flashing roms, rooting and unlocking the bootloader are 2 seperate things.

For warranty reasons if you really want to have a locked bootloader, you can unlock it and then flash and then lock it back again.

However, the whole time I kept getting the popups saying that Dolby Atmos, system messages, and bluetooth keep stopping. Each one pops up every minute or so, sometimes more frequently. They started showing up after I unlocked it. I tried to do a clean install of the stock OS but it didn't seem to do anything. Any help is appreciated.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] lai.sha:
Hello community,

I have no programming experience whatsoever but I am interested in having my Oneplus 9 Pro degoogled because I value my privacy.

Installing a Custom ROM is not an option yet because I don't seem to have found a Camera app that is as satisfying as the stock one (I especially like its Pro mode).

My friend suggested installing Magisk and Debloater, delete all Google services and stay with the Stock rom. So I unlocked the bootloader, booted into fastboot, booted TWRP. I flashed an official firmware Update (Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.LE15AA), it loaded up to 47% and then showed an Error. I pushed some buttons until I was stuck in a Fastboot-Loop. Luckily I soon found a thread and tried out "fastboot --set-active=b" which solved the issue by booting into Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.

I would like to understand what happened - I guess I tried to flash an update that was not full and somehow got mixed up with the slots, but the Update was installed anyway on the other slot which I was able to access with changing active slots - but I don't really know.

Anyway, what I really like to know is if anyone has any suggestions for me how to move on from here.

I downloaded the Magisk App but wasn't able to install it properly as I wasn't able to extract the boot.img. I tried with Python 3.8 and payload dumper on my Mac but the command "pip install -r requirements.txt" doesn't work (neither does python -m pip install -r requirements.txt or putting ./ in front of it - it always answers with "no such file or directory").

I also couldn't flash it with TWRP as I don't have the zip file and I heard conflicting opinions about that confused me.

Can somebody help me with a guide for dummies? Or maybe even come up with a different solution for my need to access the Stock Camera App but not having Google Tracking involved in any of my phone activities.

Thank you, this will be highly appreciated!

[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
Hey there!

Loading up to 47% and then throwing an error is actually quite normal, it should still succeed.

Anyway, some intelligent person was able to manage to move the stock OOS cam to custom ROM's. I'm currently running Nameless which is Android 12 which has the OOS cam.

Since you asked for a non-gapps build, you should look for a 'pristine' or 'vanilla' build. I know out of the top of my head that StagOS has builds like this, but you can also search the forums yourself. If the title of the ROM says [OOS Cam] then the stock camera app is included.

You can also use ADB to debloat (remove) all google stuff from your phone. This is a guide which could be helpful: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-debl...bloating-thread-for-the-s20-u-series.4089089/

This way, you can keep the same stock software without having to go through the hassle of installing a custom ROM :)

Oh thank you, that is very satisfying to know. Why is that?

Are you thinking of this one: https://xdaforums.com/t/apk-oneplus-camera-for-any-a11-custom-rom.4350205/ That's the 7 Pro App, which is crashing on my friend's phone on Lineage OS in macro mode :(

Thank you for all your help!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] GolovaRaoul:
Eeehm I don't know why it gets stuck at 47%. It's a common issue, you can google it and you'll find lots of results :P

View attachment 5742135

And I mean these ROM's for example. Maybe some of these ROMs in the list also have the OxygenOS cam but I don't know. They are pre-built into the ROM so you don't need to do anything, just install the ROM and you should have the OxygenOS cam also :)

There's an option in the settings to limit it to 85% if that's going to fit your needs.

But to be honest, the amount of long term life you'll sve from this is oompletely negligabele. Unless you plan to keep it for 5 years or more.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okagoogle:
I recently modified the system partition map to increase space to install the latest android. But doing that, I am facing a weird problem with my N5.

I am unable to access my storage at all. After installing custom/stock ROM and then going into the files app will boot loop my device. Same with TWRP, I cannot access the storage.

Already tried:

1 - redo the system partition map back to stock.

2 - Formatting the data from the recovery.

3 - factory reset from the stock bootloader.

4 - flashing stock ROM using the "flash-all.bat" method.

5 - I tried using the official TWRP recovery for flashing ROM.

6 - I also tried the LG Flashtool to flash the firmware but was unable to launch the "firmware update mode" using the vol + button.

I can access the bootloader/TWRP for now. But with stock ROM, it boot looped at the "android is starting window." but magically, I can start the device using LOS. But I can't open the files app.

I am just guessing its a device encryption issue. I appreciate any help you can provide.

So most of you probably don't know what mtkclient is. It is basically an exploit which is used to boot any (mtk) phone into BROM mode (basically EDL for mtk)

I am writing this guide especially for the RM6785 community.

This tool is very useful, you can unlock almost any mediatek device using it (brand won't matter), you can write partitions, read partitions, and even erase partitions.

This tool can also get you out of any kind of brick! :)

Thanks to bkerler for making such an amazing tool!

How to use it?

Well first of all, I will talk about how to install it inside windows, because most of the users here are most likely using windows.

Download the mtkclient folder from here: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Extract it, and open it.

View attachment 5741507

Now it's time to download python.

If you are on windows 11/10, you can download Python directly from the microsoft store, and I recommend you to do it from there.

If you are on windows 8.1 or lower, you will have to download it from the web.

After installing python is complete.

Open the command prompt inside the mtkclient-main folder.

connect to the internet

and type:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

View attachment 5741509

and wait for it to install completely.

This will basically set up mtkclient to perform every command.

View attachment 5741511

(ignore this warning)

So after this command is done, you need to install usbdk.

Releases · daynix/UsbDk

Usb Drivers Development Kit for Windows. Contribute to daynix/UsbDk development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

After you install usbdk, just restart your PC.

So your mtkclient setup is finished now!

Now you can basically do anything with it.

Let me tell you how it works:

For example, if you want to flash something into a partition, you do:

python mtk w *partitionname* *filename*

the w indicates "write"

so for example if i want to flash, lets say boot img.

python mtk w boot *location of the boot img*

in simple words:

python mtk w boot boot.img

to pull a partition from your device:

python mtk r *partitionname* *filename*

the r indicates "read"

you can pull the image as any name that you'd like"

example:

python mtk r vbmeta realme6vbmeta.img

to erase partitions:

python mtk e *partition*

the e indicates "erase

so for example i want to clear my userdata partition

python mtk e userdata

you can also write,flash,erase multiple partitions at once.

for example:

python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img

python mtk r dtbo,boot dtbo.img,boot.img

python mtk e metadata,userdata

you can also unlock the bootloader through it:

python mtk da seccfg unlock

so to actually begin the flashing/reading/erasing process, enter the command.

power off your device

hold both of the volume buttons, and quickly connect usb (do not leave the volume buttons until the command is done)

So that is basically how you use it, thanks for reading!

I will make a version for linux users soon!
