[Q] Force Close Loop -- android.process.acore

I am not sure I have the technical skills to be posting on this site but here goes...My Kindle Fire is stuck in a loop after the swipe uplock screen. The error screen pops up "Sorry, the ics 4.0 application launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I click "Force Close" and screen comes right back. I checked and I can USB to device and see files, and it is fully charged. A hard reset doesn't work. Can't get to Fire settings or any other screen. Amazon Customer Support was no help. This was caused by me installing ICS launcher and not knowing the risks. Any backdoor way to reset Fire? Thanks for any help.

Can't blame them for this. This is not something they would support.

Use adb to uninstall the package?

You can use kindle fire utility to reset the device. Seriously, before modding, you should always have a way to access recovery mode, so, install firefirefire and twrp

Thanks
I appreciate the fast responses. Will try and let you know what happens.

I have the same problem and i'm not sure what yall are talkin about ... Can someone explain PLEASEEEE! I root my phones all the time, so I figured this couldnt be that hard.... Guess I was wrong! I had it going fine until I downloaded ICS launcher

I used the Kindle Fire Utility (KFU) v.7 to root the KF using BurritoBoot (I think) and then installed TWRP on the KF. With TWRP running I selected the Wipe option, then Factory Reset, and this fixed the problem...I had the Kindle back to where it was when shipped from Amazon. Of course the KF needs to be attached to a PC to do all of this and you need to install a new device driver ("ABD..."). The driver is included in the KFU package.
KFU download and help link

Hope this helps. Wish I had taken notes when I did this.

i just fixed mine
brother installed ICS launcher---and kept it in a Force Close loop. couldn't even install anything like twrp through the KFU. but! i was able to get it working just by----
download the KFU from above--
use the Extras option (6?)
push the ADW launcher (option 2)
even if it says successfully installed--let it keep going. when it finishes, unlock the screen--and it should ask you which launcher you want to run
select the Kindle Fire, set as default, and voila----fixed!

Thanks yall

Thx I used the newest kindle fire Utility (I did not had an recovery System) So it worked perfect for me thx

If anyone else ever gets this problem theres an easier fix that doesn't involve installing anything. You touch the top pulldown screen when you take out the USB or put it in to your PC to mount it, and with trial and error you'll manage to get the settings screen. Go to applications, and uninstall the app giving you the problem.

help please

Need Help Puting Kindle Fire HD Back to Stock

Hello. I just received my kindle fire hd 8.9". I was trying to see what I can do with the device. I am very new to tablets. I did a root with the binary tool... Then I installed KindleFree which automatically installed google apps, Apex Launcher, etc. I figured I can just do a factory reset and everything would be gone. Well its not. The super user i still listed along with the other google apps, market place, etc. I want it back to the factory state. How can I achieve this? I downloaded the update from Amazon hopefully I can use this some how? Can someone provide a step by step?

[Q] Kindle fire 2nd gen update 10.4.1 re-rooted

Hello I rooted my kindle fire 2nd edition when it was version 10.3.1. Everything was working fine then I turned it on one day and the root I installed stopped working. I looked at the version number and it had changed to 10.4.1. I re-rooted it with the same tools I used the first time. It worked fine for a few minutes then I started getting the message pop ups [the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped] then [es taskmanager has stopped]. When I go to the google apps it starts the same pop ups again [google play services has stopped]. Everything seems to work ok. I tried to reinstall the google apps and framework and vending pak. Nothing will get rid of the pop ups. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same thing happened to me, sort of. I found superuser failed to grant permissions after re-rooting. Uninstalled superuser and installed superSU and everything reset a right after a reboot.

My superuser and all the apps worked fine until I red screened it. I tried to put twrp on it using this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963]. I have a red screen now. I am working on a fastboot cable to restore my original image. I read in another post after I red screened mine that Amazon tried to close the hole to prevent rooting. They almost have. I now have it back to version 10.2.3 using KFU. I also used it to re root it. I tried installing TWRP again using the same thread and boot looped it. I used the Kindle fire system image utility to un loop. I am now back to a rooted kf2 researching another way to install twrp.

I could swear I had the setting set to off with respect to automatic firmware updates, but either way my previously rooted Kindle 2nd generation did get the newest firmware. What is cool in my case, at least so far, is the Google play store still works perfectly fine, I can still order whatever I want from it. Also my ADW launcher still works fine, I can still switch in between the normal carousel Kindle stock interface or go over to an Android type of setting using ADW. Not sure about wallpapers but I don't really care as all I really wanted when I rooted was to be able to install the Google play store and be able to use whatever I wanted to use and I can still do that. I no longer have root though, Kindle free opens and tells me the kindle is improperly rooted and root checker tells me I am not rooted. Is there an easy way to reroot this or should I just leave well enough alone? I am afraid the next firmware update will finish the job on me and I have no way to stop that now (not that it worked the first time I set it to not update lol)

Reinstalled Twrp
I tried the thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963] for installing TWRP again and it worked perfectly. I now have twrp running. Next I will try to flash cm10.1 and gapps. Wish me luck. :good: I would like to thank Hashcode and all the other developers for the step-by-step instructions. I am now running CM10.1 and it works great.

Problems after twrp install

okay so i rooted my kindle successfully, had the superuser icon in apps (backed up my system) using cmd "dd etc.." code
then i went on to install twrp (which was also successful)
but when booting after twrp installating it gets stuck at the white blue logo screen (kindfire logo) *help how do i fix? i want stock kindle look but rooted and working twrp*
it just stays stuck...
now upon restart i can access TWRP and i decided to push cm 10.1 to the kindle fire and install cm10.1 ( just so i can actually get past kindle fire blue logo)
installing cm10.1 was succesfull but now my pc wont identify my kindle...i hear the noise as though a new device was plugged in but when i check my devices and folders the kindle isnt connected or anywhere to be found... *would also like help with pc not recognizing kindle after twrp install*
so to sum it up
i want help retaining root + twrp and stock kindle interface...
and also how can i get my pc to recognize my kindle again?
please help :crying:
btw i was running version 8.4.6

OK the reason more than likely you can't view your device in cm is because windows is still using the kindle drivers for the MTP connection, so go into he device manager, find the amazon kindle, believe its under portable devices, and uninstall it, then scan for new devices, windows should find it and automatically install the right driver for use with cm. Also you can't use twrp with latest stock amazon, its detects the second bootloader/twrp, and refuses to boot. You have to use the last version that the freedomboot.img is , don't remember offhand but its in the filename. If you use that stock is with it, it should work fine.

got it, i think ima rock out with cm10.1, do you happen to know where on this forum i cant find cm 10.1 themes and wallpapers etc

Themes are usually in the Google play store... If u want a tablet ui on cm 10.1 flash the zip in my post on top of what you have and wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot, but if it is cm 10.2 don't use my patch. That's the closest thing you will find to a theme around here I think, though I think i saw someone with a lot of wallpaper floating around somewhere...
Edit: I take that back don't use my tablet ui, forgot I was in the 8.9" section, its meant for 7" version though it may be compatible, but I don't have a 8.9" to test it on and it has a script that prevents it from flashing if its not a 7" model.

[Q] Kindle hd 8.9 stuck in slow mode after failed re root

My kindle hd 8.9 was re rooted using bin4ry v31 after the last ota update 8.4.8. It worked fine. Now there was another ota update to 8.4.9 on 6/14/14. I tried using the same method as before. ADB is enabled in my kindle, I am seeing Android Composite ADB interface. when I plug the kindle in. I got through part of the re root, where it rebooted, and now it is extremely slow, has a black screen with white cracked lines to slide in open, and although some things work they are very very slow. Please can someone either help me re root or unroot it so that the kindle runs normally. I don't know what mode that slow one is, but you can't do much of anything. I tried to roo a few times, and tried to put in the stock kindle update and re run it, but nothing is working to get it out of the slow mode. Right now my computer can see and put things onto the kindle, and when trying to root, it seems like it is trying to work, but since the kindle is slow, I don't know if it is getting stuck and not finishing.
Can you help me figure out what is wrong?

Yep sucks for us for now it seems
Mine is in the same state. To unslow mo it all i found that works is using recovery mode to erase every single thing on it. This will speed it back up to normal. Beyond that i don't have a clue what to do.
You can enter recovery mode if you dont know how by pressing volume down and power. Or dl droid explorer run it click the multi colored shield icon and reboot to recovery.
I would hold off for now though. As one of these guys may have a way to save you all the head aches i have now. I had psp emulator playstation emu nintendo ds dolphin aka game cube and wii all running properly now all gone. go figure. Pain in the rear to get em all running properly. Oh worst bit loosing my crisis core newgame + save lvl 35+ with all items etc etc. Was gona put the hurt on every thing LOL
Oh and if theres any amazon employees lurking and reading great job on becoming a apple clone wanabe In other words amazon you all need to get a grip. People want to customize their tablets and have something that runs like mad with out regards to warranty. We want our tablets the way we want them not the way you want them. No one likes apple with their forced updaties etc

Factory reset is always better than flashing and other serious tinkering. kindle hd 8.9 is still rootable with 8.4.9 update, I did it and another member KatanAlive have done it.

What method did you use to root? There are a few different methods. used bin4ry v31 I used the old special option, then also tried the old option.

Ive tried various tools etc. While it seems i am able to get root i can not for example view the root directory in adb shell. I can kill any process under ps list even ones ran by root. Again the root directory shows as empty under ls. Running the superuser app that does show under apps seems t do nothing (im assuming this is because root is already active by this point) It does load but nothing in log window. Also it remains stuck running extremely slow. I can not install google frame work etc.
What i want to do is just go with a custom rom and be done with this mess. After all if amazon managed to force updates on kindles with ota disabled and blocked once they will likely be able to do so again. So theres zero point in staying on a stock rom even downgraded and or rooted.
Now the only problem there is it seems rom update requires fastboot? If this is not the case what are the steps to go about it by a different means? Or what methods other than fastboot cables are there to force it in to fastboot with out ripping in to the kindlefire hd 8.9 in my case?

I used manual method described in this thread and yesterday another member also used this same method to root the Kindle with update 8.4.9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
I have been extensively reading this forum for rooting Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and I have seen people failed just because of a simple mistake or not starting afresh. Many people were able to overcome their anomalous problem just by a factory reset and then starting again the process of rooting.
No one knows at which step problem started to appear until you clarify completely that what method you were following, or did you install some other drivers mentioned in another method, or did you interrupted the progress, or any other tinkering you had had done earlier with Kindle.
Every method pre assumes that your device is in default condition and your PC has favourable environment for the completion of the rooting process. Like a meber was following the process of rooting and when a stage came to enter his Amazon password, he entered the password but the process could not be continued, because his Kindle was not registered , so even after entering the correct password the process was aborted. Later he registered his Kindle and started agin and it was rooted.

So true what you've said about it not being a fresh root. I am going to try a few more times to root, then do a factory reset. My kindle could use a fresh start, but I thought I'd try just for future knowledge. If anyone else comes back from the slow kindle stage, please contribute what you've done to fix it because it may help someone else resolve their issues.

I decided to do a full restore. Then I was able to use a bin4ry script for kindles to root. Now I am having difficulty getting google play to work again. I keep getting an error not enough space on the partition \system. Free up 6MB in system and try again. I put a version of google market on to see if there would be a difference. I was able to open it, but nothing will download. Anyone else have any experience with this problem?

If you have rooted Kindle "not enough space" problem can be easily resolved. Is your Kindle rooted?

Yes my kindle fire hd 8.9 is rooted. I currently have version 8.4.9 software from amazon.

I too have had this low space problem after updating to 8.4.9. I was despaired but after searching the internet for 2/3 hours I found the solution. First thing you need to do is to get Titanium Backup from somewhere. It has the capacity to convert system app to user app and this will free up some ROM space so you can install Google Play afterward. Convert one by one some system apps that are not critical to Kindle's functioning, to user app. For example, you can convert Silk browser, Amazon Video, Amazon music, Kindle tutorial, Office Suite to user app. The moment you have above 20 MB free space in ROM you can install there Google Play. I am not sure if a free version of Titanium Backup have this functionality or not, I have installed a pro version of it. If free version is of no use then get a pro version from somewhere. I think you know where to get it from. Good Luck.

Wow thanks so much for the info. I did not have the pro version of titanium. Instead I used /system /app mover which is a free app. I changed a few system files to user files like suggested and am now able to use google play. I made sure I could download apps from it also, and it worked just fine. Now I have to re download apps I lost when I had to restore.
