When I try to down load needed info to my PC , it starts to load then will not, says its virus laden, my only option then is to dismiss. What is up with that. I have asked this question in every forum and venue I can find, but have never received an answer, guess this will not be any different:crying:
I have been wanting to root my first kindle for along time now. I have been researching and researching, for the most easiest and most informative way to do it, before my 1started.
I read everything here and thought that this will be super great and super easy, I still cannot download the drivers, to PC .
Reason I say thought is that I went through not only the directions, but the posts pertaining to the posting, many praise the ease of following the instruction, but many also say they are stuck here, and cannot seem to get past, this, and don't know what to do about what happen here.
If these question were then provided with answers to clear them up, then I would say that this is a good thread, but with all the questions, and answers not enough to cover them.
Well, I will not be attempting to try this, as much as I would like to. But seeing all the troubles posted after there attempt scares me. I am I will attest, to be the dumber of all the people here. And if I get into this root and hit a snag. As these smarter than me people have ,then I would be definitely throwing my old kindle fire brick, away.
I also realize that I need to find a forum more suited for my abilities, this forums name really tells me I am in the wrong place. . For developers by developers, I do not even know what a developer is.
What most users need, and I emphasize, most, because there are more people like me, who know very little, cruising through all these computer forums, looking for help to there problems, that they can easily understand. Than those of you, that seem to know everything, and ask questions like, does anyone know how I can flash a downloader on my custom ROM that is soft bricked, etc, etc, etc.
The reason there is not a forum out there for dumb people like me, geared to answer questions in plain simple language, is because there is no one, who would be smart enough to run the forum, that understands what plain simple language is. When you know a great deal about computers you don't want to hang with a bunch of dummies, but I think sadly, there is a giant hole in the market, that those of us with out computer savvy could fill.
It would be the biggest forum, on the internet, therefore attracting the most advertisers for income,, only problem in all this is there is not enough smart people who know how to speak down to the uninformed, to answer all the questions that flow to this forum.

Your post is a little vague, are you trying to download Kindle Fire Utility?
Kindle Fire Utility does contain a trojan, that is needed to root.

Thankfully Microsoft didn't change anything in their 'protection' of the WP7 emulator image. Following the same steps as the previous build, I was able to unlock the new 'April Refresh' emulator image. It's largely the same but here's what I've noticed.
It seems a bit more buggy. I've noticed some odd screen drawing issues and even jaggy lines. Maybe it's my laptop?
Most apps seem slightly updated and more polished. A few quirks here and there.
Phone! Yup, you can see the dialer and it even fakes working.
Office is actually working. Looks like the apps shown in the videos they released.
v2... in my late night grogginess I missed the settings entries. This one should have all the settings unlocked now (including some new stuff that wasn't in the February build)
Unlocked Emulator bin v2 (multiupload) (fast mirror)
To launch it use the same process as before... "xde.exe WM70C1AprilUnlockedv2.bin"
Gizmodo posted a How to: Try Windows Phone 7 now. Although that was for the previous build, the same general steps apply. You'll just need to use the emulator bin above and the new Dev tools CTP - April Refresh. It will NOT work with the February release.
New long press menu?

I'm not getting any luck through the method that you mentioned to load up the BIN. Is there a way I can drop this file in a file, open up Visual Studio, and do an F5 to get the emulator going with the new image?

Are you using the old XDE or the one released yesterday? I haven't tried it in the previous one but I'm guessing this is the cause.
I missed the registry entries for the settings in the original one. I updated the OP with the corrected file.
How to run?
I put the .bin in /.../microsoft xde directory and launch xde.exe and it doens't start :/

Perhaps you should post that on the OP, to prevent these questions as last time it was unlocked...
Anyone have any ideas as to why the other apps (mail, facebook, etc) won't connect? It's gotta be some stupid registry entry like the rest of the "unlocking" or maybe just in a XML file somewhere. I'm fairly certain that they're using "SNService" for windows live and facebook status update type stuff and ActiveSync with some new plugins for Live mail, etc.

Sorry for being fussy here, cause I've always been a user of Mediafire, it gets the job done easily, so I kind of like it. Multiupload usually causes Megaupload to reject my ip, saying I have an elevated number of requests, bla bla. Rapidshare works only after a number of tries with the different server under advanced options, and the only one i use is zShare, and it sucks cause it downloads at unstable speeds(i get a speed ranging from 30kbp/s and 100kbp/s) while my max speed is 300kbps! Well, thanks for reading. It's okay if you don't change, I can live on.
EDIT: I saw the 100mbits server website, thanks freedom! although this is still a suggestion for the hosting of your files. thanks
I currently own a 3g/wifi Kindle, and subscribe to the Herald Tribune newspaper which is pushed nightly.
If I root and rom a Kindle Fire with CM, I am assuming that I'll have to use the Amazon Kindle App to see my subscriptions. The paper has blocked Amazon from pushing it to the Kindle App - "The provider does not support Mobile Devices"...
(I've tried it on my Bionic -no go).

Is this an accurate assumption ? Any work around? Any way to toggle between the native OS and a rom, or does the native Kiindle app go away with root?
Thanks

The stock Kindle reader app that comes with the Fire has not been ported for use on other ROMs, so you would have to use the mobile kindle app.
That said, I'm pretty sure you could root and run the stock OS to try to get a little bit of best of both worlds.
Ive had to revert my girlfriends Fire back to Stock Rom but rooted and adw launcher because she subscribes to magazines that will only push to the stock fire reading app. The phone version works for everything else but amazon does not recognize the Fire if its a custom rom and just the reader app. Ive tried porting it over and I got it to work but it still cant be recognized as a Kindle Fire on Amazon so no auto push for magazines still. I edited the build.prop to look similar to the stock build.prop, but started running into issues.
So as far as magazines and newspapers go, you have to stick with the stock modified rom for now. I gave up on it for now, she really wants MIUI ICS back on there!
I subscribed to the Washington Post. Rooted my KF, then installed the Kindle App from the market. In my Amazon Kindle account, I added my rooted KF as a new device and switched my WP subscription to it. Then deregistered the KF.
So, I am not at risk of OTA updates screwing up root and am able to read all my books and the WP everyday on the Kindle App.

You will still lose root with an update, the issue is with custom roms, the mobile app works due to you still being on the stock fire rom. It still shows up as a kindle fire on amazon. The mobile app will work on both stock and custom roms but on custom roms certain reader functions get borked because it shows as a tablet or phone instead of a fire.

Rooted stock 6.2.2 but no digital subscriptions
I used Voodoo OTA to temp unroot and still no luck with digital subscriptions. Tried to force a magazine download from the amazon site but nothing arrived. Should it be working? Is there a workaround? The kindle app works fine with books. Newstand shows nothing. Am I leaving anything out?

I used the "insecure" 6.3 update with the modifications made by eldarerathis (THANK YOU) and one subscription came through. (I'm assuming the rest will.) So now with rooted 6.3, I have the best of both worlds - google play and the amazon digital content including subscriptions.

It might be like the video, use voodoo to tempunroot, stop the app that you read your mags with, restart it and maybe you can download.
force stopped
The kindle app (not sure if it is one that I downloaded or the one that came stock but it is the only one I have), the Amazon device client platform and no change yet. do you know which apps I should force quit. Are there any that I should clear data? Is there any risk of clearing data?
I think the real problem is periodicals that are only authorized for the kf won't come through. I was able through the kindle reader, not the store associated with newsstand, to get a couple of things through. The NY times won't come through after root even when I try to send it from the Amazon manage my subscriptions page.same with Mac world. Hope that provides insight.
clear data
Wondering if i should clear the data of the launcher or other things to regain newstand? The Voodoo OTA works for video as it is, but not newstand. Is there an app specifically responsible for newstand? Also, the "store" associated with the stock launcher seems to be the kindle website. Is that indicative of something?
thanks for your thoughts
Charles
I installed a custom rom (MoDaCo GR8) and also had the subscription problem as well as my books loaded from Calibre disappearing. I found that to have your Calibre books and subscriptions recognized, you MUST use the stock Kindle app on your Fire. I had to uncheck auto update in the Play Store and then restore the original stock version from Titanium Backup. Once I did that, all was well again.
copy of stock kindle app
HI,
thanks for the great info. I will try that. Do you know how i can get a copy of the stock app? My first back up was after root and it has never worked since.
Has anyone tried to subscribe to the NY Times via the Play Store app on a rooted Kindle Fire with custom rom? I actually prefer the app to the Kindle subscription and since the price is basically the same, figured I'd cancel my Kindle subscription and go this route. I'm just concerned that even though my fire is running JandyCane, it will still be seen as Kindle by the NYT app, since the model number still shows as "Amazon Kindle Fire".
MOD EDIT: I'm closing this thread for now until the possibility opens back up for us to get Astoria running again. Too many posts cluttering away
Hi everyone,
After several days of sniffing Windows Update traffic and lots of downgrading
, I've found a way to get Astoria installed and working on the HTC One M8 for Windows. that's right..
In THEORY, this should work for all devices that aren't supported by Astoria project.
The reason for this: In the process to go straight to 10536 directly from wp8.1,
the needed aow.wim file got pulled by MS (for security reasons i suppose
and i have no idea when or if they will bring it back).
Requirements:
-installed WDK,WPAK,WPDK (containing iutool.exe) get it there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ools-wdk-wpak-wpdk-cabs-building-wp8-t3183972
-w10m build 10536 installed on phone
-usb connection to pc
-astoria cabs
Here are the direct download links of the needed astoria cabs:
10166 (canonical)
Code:

Instructions:
-Go to iutool path in cmd with admin rights (usually c:\program files (x86)\windows phone kits\8.1\tools\bin\i386)
-Type "iutool -l" to see if the device is connected and recognized.
1 put only the first cab (10166) to a new folder like c:\cabs
2 then type: iutool -v -p c:\cabs
3 it should push the cab to the device and start the update.
4 there might be a error 0x8024a110 but it should work.
5 the device will automatically reboot very soon and go to flash mode (gears) to apply the cab.
6 then there will be the usual "data migration".
Repeat steps 1-6 with all the cabs in correct order one by one.
Astoria should now be installed and working.
There are already guides on xda about getting apk's installed via wconnect.
Thanks to @snickler for helping me with the method to obtain the cabs even if ms tries to prevent it.
Thanks to XDA Dev Team for daily chats and support.

You need to install the whole package, just iutool won't work, take it from the xda thread linked in the OP and install it, it's kinda big but the download speeds are good (if you do have good internet speeds).
I have a 6 GB limited plan. I will download at work
I can't seem to be able to flash the second cab, the first one gave the error but flashed but the second one gives the error and nothing happens.
EDIT: @Bnjalal do we need to keep the first cab in the folder, as far as I could understand from your instructions the answer would be no but I can't flash the second one?
Or do I need to do anything else?
@Ranomez my good Sir, I am not the op of this thread, I was just reading the threads trying to figure out why my 'supported device' getting error 14 and came through your posts and struggles and wanted to contribute to the good community. I am really sorry that I am not as experienced as the others here at XDA and thought that mentioning you here was the least I can do to offer help or support. But for the time being, I'm sure the OP will reply to you and offer support as he was the one who made the find

Oops, excuse me, I don't even know how I managed to confuse you for the OP, lol, sorry again.
EDIT: Meanwhile I answered my own question: DON'T keep the first cab in the folder, my device seems to be stuck in the flashing screen.
@Ranomez no worries pal, wish you all the best
An alternate way instead of putting them in one folder, you can call the individual cab directly. So instead of c:\cabs, you would put c:\cabs\blahblah.cab and it will stage that particular cab.
Throwing them one by one in a directory is an easier way to keep track of your progress.
Except the initial cab file the others just won't flash, might be cause I already installed the astoria files in the past with the change model trick (but it never worked) but I doubt it, probably it's because the device has 512MB RAM and astoria does a hardware check for that.
Anyway just to be sure I will downgrade to WP8.1 and take the update again.
BTW why not all cabs at a time ?
No need to DLOAD 6GB Stuff.
i836 is enough for everything, if any one would share. Just below than 10 MB

Because the cabs won't install all at once as some are diffs. Each cab is a corresponding package version. It checks for version dependencies and if there's a clash or if you're trying to install a cab that is lower or higher than the dependency, it won't let you do it.
@snickler oh yeah, got it, thanks mate !
Btw I saw you after a long time, where was hidden you
I've been around .
Confirmed 100% sure that this doesn't work on 512MB devices...only the first file can be flashed, the others can't.
Which means astoria does do some strange device hardware check or something like that.

Yes, exactly this. My 920 is still choking on trying to go to 10536 from 10166. Guess the servers are a bit bogged down with the 8.1 Update 2.

Hello all,
I usually don't join forums and jump in to make one post pertaining to my issue but rather conduct extensive research to figure out my problem, so many apologies beforehand. However, this issue seems to be unique to me and I would to know if anyone can help me out!
After unlocking the bootloader yesterday, I rooted my Pixel XL using chainfire's systemless root method and I was ecstatic as ever! I followed the directions to the T to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, but using ADB program is familiar territory to me - everything went as expected and I successfully rooted my phone. However, I made the mistake of downloading apps that were not compatible with the systemless root, which I read could have some complications. This is where I was stumbling upon new ground, because I am not entirely familiar with "systemless root" and what the key differences are, nor what the repercussions would be for downloading apps that would look for root access in the /system partition. The two apps that I downloaded were "Magisk Manager" and "Game Guardian." On the Magisk Manager, the install data was downloaded to my phone, nothing was actually installed to the phone. As for Game Guardian, I don't think that app had compatibility with systemless root yet.
This issue where my UI would crash would persist, even after restarting my phone. I would boot the phone up to bootloader and recovery mode - just to cycle through and restart the phone regularly (since you can't wipe the cache partition), that didn't work. I tried deleting those apps and clearing their data from my phone, and that didn't work.
I made a revelation when I plugged the phone in and the persistent UI crashing stopped. I had thought that I fixed the issue, but then it continued throughout the day - up until before I posted this post. That was when I noticed that the crashing is tied with the battery status;
When I had low battery and my phone wasn't charging, my System UI would immediately crash.
When I had low battery and my phone was charging, my System UI would not crash.
When I have a decent charge (anything above what is "low battery" - 15%?), my System UI would not crash.
I did a little experiment when I was at low battery and I noticed that RIGHT BEFORE the System UI would crash, the battery icon would stay with the lightning bolt, instead of switching over to a red battery with low charge. I was unable to get a screenshot before it crashed, though. Provided, are screenshots of what my screen looked when the System UI would crash (minus the consistent pop-up) and when it was charging:

}
My concern right now, with my ignorance on systemless rooting and how incompatible apps could affect the phone, is that maybe the stock battery icon for when the phone is at a low charge is missing from the system file images and that is what might be causing the crashing.
Can anyone give any insight on the matter? I'll provide any information required, if need be!
Thank you in advance.

I have not experienced this problem. And some that have were using outdated ADB / SDK drivers.
One person fixed it by simply updating ADB and drivers then re-rooted and he was all set. I will try to find the link...

Thank you for that, Scott. I'll be following that main thread now.
At least it is indeed that it only happens when the battery level is low.

The current fix is to flash the stock boot.img or custom kernel and don't flash root. Im hopeful it will be fixed in next Supersu update.
Wtf

Useless reply.
The folder is this:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7SzqPOr1EdIQ19qNDVQUDBWOVE
(some ROMS could be unstable, use it at your own risk)
Last ROM, xROMx_Pipapop_PX_3_deox_Rootd_Safestrpd.zip ...
based in saturn device of Amazon (Lollipop 5.1.1)... as this one is so simillar than this Stock, I hope that it will be more Stable... if it could be flashed with no errors, this one will be so stable...
In shared folder xROMx_Pipapop_ProbeX_Lollipop.zip
(maybe unstable, but uses art and api level is set to 22, cannot probed yet by myself, waiting for my fire yet...)
Roms v.10 and v.3.9 (follow the steps)
There is a new ROM for probes v.10, is based on original update-kindle-37.5.6.3 for ford device... Is fully Lollipop (with art even)... So maybe doesn't work or is unstable... If anyone test it, remember not to apply root in first flashing, because it could give you bootloop with supersu zip...
Stock ROMs
(I suggest use this stock, instead of original...Just for the avillity to have safestrap even doing a factory reset)
-Wipe (optional, but only factory reset)
-First, install ROM v.10 version
-Second, flash gapps-711 in safestrap
-Important... don't flash supersu zip yet!!!
(maybe at this point it would be flashed xposed v.22 zip, I'm not sure)
-Third restart and install total comander (is in shared folder)
-Fourth, Install Google5 fix in the same session as upper step (there are in Google5.zip file, do it restarting your fire, this or another usual fix, the 4 files of fix are in this zip, uncompress and install this ones or another ones)
-Fiveth, (previouslly I supose you have downloaded all the programms not runnables in kit kat by apkmirror.com for example... Andrid Auto, instagram, and so on)... having it... install all of those ones apps and don't worry if doesn't work now...
-Sixth, reboot to safestrap... (we dont need root, because safestrap starts in a simple reboot)
-Seventh, install ROM v.3.9... without wipes, keep in mind... (So important without wipes!!!)
-Eighth, install Supersu zip (not in shared folder)
-Reboot and install Google4 apps of the google4 zip...
-at this point I hope all the apps installed with the previous v.10 version works now... in 3.9 version...
(if you are asked by google to update service framework... do it)
And, That all Folks!!!...
(now maybe all Amazon apps aren't upgradable, are deodexed)
For better Google compatibillity install at last, this file:
com.android.vending_7.6.08.N-all_0_PR_149245622-80760800_minAPI14(240,320,480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
(Download it from apkmirror.com)
about google launcher was a cassuallity, I have a program called button savior istalled and google launcher installed but not working... in any moment the buttom of tasks of button savior shows home task... and I killed it... so the system ask me what start home do you prefer... say GLauncher, and all ok...
(you can use a home switcher too)
Special thanks to @ggow and all the team
Google launcher working!!! with widgets and all emojis... In the Stock ROM!!!

11 means
11 means that the system dont let me put no link, since I post ten messages, I tried to write a few... but maybe better, no...
has someone probe it?... Im trying to root it now, I hope to prerooted it soon... and I like to know bugs, if someone had it... the first bug I found is that when the phone make system updates, and catch the fire os 5.3.2.1 version of silk (for example), this app crashes, but if you dont update the system apps, all seems to work...

maybe is Kindle Fire HDX7 and 8.9,cuz they are used the same cpu MSM8974AA(800)
www .devicespecifications.com/en/model-cpu/60873e58
update-kindle-37.5.6.3_user_563231720.bin
update-kindle-32.5.6.3_user_563231720.bin
i guess the "563231720" is a fire os 5.6.3 systems version. not a device version. actually is "37" or "32"
thanks for your working

I dont't kow really if it could be with HDX7 bootoader... I saw the link you've post and the problem I see is that the phone could be broken, or enter in a loop... if anyone want to have part of my work to do it, please, ask me it...
I'm testing new cooked roms, in order to make it more stable, since now I've have rooted (prerroted with chainsDD) and with kingroot later, after flash... and I've intalled google store with the old method, the new one doesn't works... but is what was comented in this thread, isn't so stable rigth now...
Can you upload to dropbox or other online disk?cuz your website is unstable. i can't download
thank you
New Rom cooked from another
Has anyone tried it so far ?
And is it safe to install it or it will brick our fire phone ?
And what are the bugs in this ?
New Rom cooked from another
You must contact @ggow,he is the only one that could help you in solving bugs and making a stable rom as he had made cynogenmod 11 ,slim kat and Asop rom,so you should contact him and tell hime about your work and its seems like that you have almost found a way to make an update to 5.3.2 (lollypop) .This means that we could install cynogenmod 12 and this will also solve the camera issue ..
@pipataki dont use ur site please, send it to google or Dropbox, because we cant download it
