factory cable doesn't work for Fire HD 6

HI pros,

I had a Fire HD 6 16G version. I have it rooted, but when trying to use TWRP, I run into trouble, right now it is in a rebooting loop, every time it just boot and stay on white amazon logo for like 10 sec, then reboot again.

I purchased a kindle factory cable via ebay, however, it doesn't bring the device to fastboot mode.

Anyone has any experience on fixing this boot loop issue?

by the way, adb console doesn't work now as well, no way for me to use adb command to push or install anything to it.

Thanks,
Lei

Attempted update to Developer Preview, stuck on "Fire"

I attempted to update to Developer Preview, tablet restarted and now just displays the animated "fire" screen, for the past two hours. Do I just hold down the power button to try to restart? This is a Fire HD 6, btw.

Date And Time on Fire TV

I just downloaded OS5 Preview. Does anyone know how Fire TV sinks its time and date? This is affecting Medihhh and Sling which require the correct time and date for the application. When I first updated it was stuck on August 2nd at 7:33AM PDT. I rebooted my Cable Modem and Router which at least got it to the correct date but even set to my correct Timezone PDT it is still running 3 hours slow?

please help. Kindle fire HDX 8.9 stuck on grey language screen

Hello, hoping one you experienced Kindle fire HDX 8.9 users can help me. Ok, my kindle fire HDX is running a stock factory rom/ software. The current firmware is 14.3.10. I rooted it a year ago with one of the programs I found on the net.
I kept getting the add pop-ups, so I used sql editor to change one or two of the fields to stop the add pop-ups as per instructions on the net. What ever root program I used, also disabled OTA updates. I installed the common files for getting the google playstore on the device. So over time, the playstore crashed, kept getting the error most people get about playstore has stopped working. I went in and uninstalled the playstore files. Then I decided to do a factory restore. BIG MISTAKE!!

Kindle fire HDX reset, and put me back to the registration screen. I was able to re-register it, then it went to the grey language screen. I choose English. So the problem is: It keeps looping to the language screen. I can choose English, then ok at the bottom of the screen, but it just goes back to the language screen. I can power it down, and back up. I get my unlock screen, and I can see the icon screen, and even go into the settings for about 20 to 30 seconds before it loops to the grey language screen. The kindle does not do any auto re-booting, it just stays stuck on the language screen until I power it down and back up.

Next, I can connect it to my PC through the USB cable, and the kindle is recognized. I have downloaded the program from XDA developers KFHD SRT 2.0. I can start that program, and it recognizes the Kindle , and it will put it into Fastboot mode. The kindle says fastboot and ready on the screen. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I dont want to jack up my kindle anymore than it already is. I read somewhere, that I may have to order a special USB cable for fastboot. I'm not sure if this is true. I never installed any recovery software on the Kindle, nor did I make a back up that I know of.

So what is the easy fix to get it back to stock and get it out this soft loop. I'm sure it can be repaired being I still have some access. I Thank any of you who will take the time to guide me through the process or point me to the right programs and files needed to get it working again.

Thanks

3D movies using Kodi on Fire TV

Not sure if my issue is Kodi related or Fire TV related, but 3D MKVs (1080p SBS) do not work well on my Samsung TV in 3D mode through Kodi. They do display in 3D once I change the TV into that mode, but there's ghosting. Playing the MKV using the TV's built in Media Player has always worked fine. I suspect Kodi isn't converting the SBS video completely correct. OTOH, I had to calibrate the Fire TV due to my TV's overscan, so perhaps that has something to do with it? I'm not sure. Does anyone have any tips for getting 3D video to work?

Kindle Fire HDX 7" 4.5.5 Root?

Ok, so I have looked everywhere and cannot find a direct answer. Is there anyway I could get my HDX rooted? If it isn't possible, then where can I find a place to email or ask a developer to make a root for Fire OS 4.5.5. I will do whatever I have to do, even if it takes having to roll back. I just need to root it and install a custom Android rom. I cannot handle Fire OS issues anymore. I need my Google Play services. :cyclops:

Help with Amazon fire TV stick

I have a few problems with my Amazon fire stick

Firstly, the movies that do work just go off when its near the end of the film?

I have the kodi app, with Genesis and most things on that say 'no source available'

I also have SALTS/stream all the sources, and some things on that say 'scraper timeout' and then 'one or more items failed to play. check the log file for details'

Another 2 add ons I have are 1channel/prime wire and ice films and when I click onto them they have no lists of the movies or tv shows

Its driving me crazy :eek:

Kindle fire soft bricked

Hi guys. I bought an used kindle fire and I tried installing an android OS on it. I managed to root it just fine following this guy's instructions: htt ps://w ww.youtube. com/watch?v= hUW6KARo8Y4 (I separated the link because I'm a new user here and can't post external link)
But after the part where I have to do the fastboot it got stuck on the screen with the blue kindle fire logo screen without animation. I searched on the internet and I saw some people recommending restoring the system using the TWRP to what it was before the backup. I entered the TWRP menu by pressing the volume up button during the boot and choose the restore button. After that it rebooted once again but now it is stuck on the yellow kindle fire logo screen. Also I can't access the TWRP anymore and the computer won't recognize the device. When I connect the device to my PC turned off, for a brief moment a new device called "Android Phone" appears on the device manager, but it soon disappears. I tried reinstalling the drivers in it as I saw some people recommending but it also didn't work. I'm getting hopeless here, but I'm sure it has a way to be fixed. I'm not very experienced on rooting and hacking devices, before this one I only rooted a Samsung Galaxy Y. Any kind of help is welcome, I'm getting desperate 'cause I don't wanna throw in the trash a newly acquired tablet. Thanks in advance

Apps and Services broken by Fire OS 5

So far:

1. Firestarter

Currently fails to start the home-button observer mechanism (but disabling ADB may help):

http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire...3118135/page18

2. Llama

Will no longer convert apps to Kodi launchers. Can still launch Kodi at boot:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...786505&page=93

3. BBC iViewer, News

iViewer launches a web page, which doesn't work. News is incompatible.

4. ADB

Several reports that ADB is flaky. My observation is that ADBFire 1.29 is problematic as 1.28 seems to work fine.

5. Audio passthrough via Optical Out

Reported broken:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire...pdate-t3182681

6. Setting up a Parental Pin may brick device

Unconfirmed report. Beware:

[How-To] Block OTA Updates Without Root on Fire OS 5

With the new Fire OS 5 update we can use the Debloater tool to disable APKs/services responsible for automatic updating.
No more worrying if your router is blocking everything properly. And of course... no root needed!

Quote:

1. Enable USB Debugging on your Fire TV (or TV Stick) (how-to here) 2. Setup adbFire on your computer and establish a connection to your Fire TV[Stick] (how-to here) 3. Setup Debloater tool (how-to here) 4. Now with Debloater open... find the following APKs and place a check mark next to each of them then hit the "Apply" button: DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk (this seems to be the main one needed... the 3 below are only for good measure) DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts.apk (com.amazon.dcp.contracts.library) DeviceClientPlatformContractsFramework.apk (com.amazon.dcp.contracts.framework.library) FireOsMiddlewareDebugApp.apk (com.amazon.dcp)

After hitting apply the Debloater tool should take a moment then show all apks "hidden" and your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick will no longer get OTA updates.
If you go into Settings > System > About you can no longer check for updates... yay.
You can simply "unhide" each apk using the Debloater tool if you should ever want to reverse this process.

Be careful if you try to disable other system apps. If you disable something important and the device won't start up.. you'll have to perform a factory reset to fix the issue (not sure if possible with stick?).

Have more apks to disable to reduce unneeded system processes? please share.

Kindle Fire HD 7 Bricked

I have been developing for the Kindle Fire HD 7 for a while and now it has been bricked. I need help making a fastboot cable. Can anyone talk to me over Google Plus chat or something? I need help making this fastboot cable.

Serious trouble with kindle Fire HD 8.9

Ok. So, Here's a rundown of what happened: I tried doing a bunch of Fastboot stuff to my kindle that ended up leaving me with a kindle that origionally had the blue bootlogo, now doesn't. I can however still get into recovery with fastboot, and obviously, I can still get into fastboot. Problem is, TWRP throws a bunch of errors at me when i try to wipe the data, (such as unable to mount /XXXX and others) the internal storage says 0, and the storage won't show up on my computer to even get a new rom on there to try to flash.

Fire TV Sleep

For a long time now I've got my aftv to sleep by setting screensaver time to "never" but now that I have prime and unlimited cloud storage for pics, I use those as my screensaver and want to keep using them. So as expected, it appears amazon never fixed this issue. I have 2 questions:
1. Should I even care that my aftv is always on? (significantly shorten its life?etc..)

2. Is there a way to get those pics to display but still go to sleep after a reasonable time, or at the very least when my TV turns off?

***While we're on the subject of pics and screensaver. If anyone knows if you can delete the amazon stock screensaver jpegs, that I assume get downloaded and saved to the aftv, could you please tell me? I'd think that'd save a good amount of space if they are being stored somewhere on the box. That photo cache fills up fast too. I delete it 2 times a weeks and it's still over 200 mb each time. Thanks

Fire Personal Assistant

The personal assistant on the fire phone is very limited in usefulness, why doesn't Amazon port Alexa to other devices? Cortana and Google now work but are not integrated enough to work great.

Periscope App on Amazon Fire Phone? Please Help

Kindle Fire 8.9 HD Bricked? Boots to System Recovery

So way back when I bought my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 I decided to root it. Unfortunately I don't know which process I went through but once I had an issue with a google app, I decided to try to remove the root I had put on it. In the process I obviously messed something up as the kindle refuses to boot to anything but the Kindle Fire System Recovery. Even at this screen when I do "Reset to Factory Default" it simply reboots and comes to the same screen.

I don't have a "fastboot" cable that I keep seeing on forums, so I can still go try and retrieve one of those. But I'm interested in what steps I can do to either revive my Kindle or use it to boot another operating system. Anything to keep it from being a large paper weight!

Thanks for reading and any insight you all give :)
