[Q] maintaining cellular service when rooting kindle fire hd 8.9 4g - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to root my KFHD 8.9 lte without losing the lte part. Is there a program that will allow me to do this?

I've never heard of losing LTE because of root, then again LTE models seem to be fewer and far between from most of the posts I see, but I have never seen mention of the default rooting process breaking LTE.

[Q] Questions

Yes I recently did an early upgrade with Sprint I got the Evo 3D but my question is i still have my HTC EVO 4G phone, i did not want them to have it because it's Rooted would Sprint know if I use Mobile Hotspot as wifi to connect to my Wifi only Tablet its a Toshiba Thrive Tablet and to remind I have no service on my Evo 4G no more so any suggestions and no im not going to root the Evo 3d phone if you guys are wondering.
First off, punctuation is your friend.
Second, if you aren't paying for service on your evo, you wont get 3g/4g, therefore you cannot use it as a hotspot.
Okay thanks but I just connected my Tablet and it work from the Evo 4G that's the phone that is rooted but no service on that phone but service on my EVO 3D
Again, if you aren't paying for service on that phone, you won't get 3g. If you ARE getting 3g, then it's likely the Evo is your active phone, and the 3d isn't active anymore on the account.
umm My 3d phone is active that is the phone that is new and My EVO4G is not Active but some how I can still use wifi portion of the service. For the HTC EVO 4G you are correct their is no 3G or 4G but wifi Yes.
Ok I don't think you understand how tethering works. Tethering takes your phone's 3g service, and sends it out via wifi for other devices to use. Yes, you can still use wifi on your old Evo 4G, nothing is stopping you from doing that. And yes, you can still turn on the hotspot. However, since the phone does not have 3g service, you wont actually get any data off the wifi.

Wait. what?
Your tablet connected to your Evo 4gs signal via mobile hotspot, but your Evo 4g doesn't HAVE a signal?

That is correct see i am using wifi only Sprint hotspot I kept the EVO4G rooted so my Toshiba Thirve Tablet can connect to it when i am out and about and my EVO 3d phone is not rooted and no i am not paying for the service for Hotspot. Long Story Short or do i need to upload a video lol on youtube EVO4G no service or no 3G or 4G but only Wifi and my EVO3D phone has the service thats the phone I upgrade it too.
Again, if your 4g has NO service, you can still use the hotspot, and your tablet will connect to the phone, but you will NOT get any internet, as the phone has no internet source (3g).
And again, please use punctuation. It really helps us read and understand your questions.
Agreed. Punctuation is sssooooo important. Trying to read with no punctuation honestly makes my head hurt,....makes me feel like my head is just spinning and I'm going crazy. :banghead:

[Q] Why is my phone doing this?

First off, my phone today has been acting up very severely. It will send texts, but will not receive them for at least 20 minutes after the other person has sent them. I tested, and it is my phone acting up not there's. I tried switching the rom, modem, kernel, everything and it's still doing this! I need some major help right now. My battery is not bulging at all either, so I can rule that out. I really have no idea what else it could be, no water damage, never dropped, nothing. Please someone help!

IMO, you should go back to stock off you are not on it. If you are still having issues, it is probably a hardware issue. Is your phone under warranty? If so get another one.
I posted in your other thread they are doing NV upgrades in your area, lte is already being tested in Shentel so you're experiencing network related issues from the upgrades, its only gonna get worse before it gets better. Mines been in and out for the last few weeks. Failed texts, unable to call out, data so slow it won't connect, etc. Just be patient when they're done you won't have these issues and your data will be much faster and more consistent plus you'll have lte atleast in your area if not your house. If you get 3g at home you will more likely than not have lte there too, as NV is supposed to cover anywhere in the 3g network with lte.

Look in your major trouble thread I posted a link to lte sightings in shentel that rollout covers a wide swath of Pennsylvania including your area, there's screens of speedtests on lte and info on where people have been able to connect to lte and seen towers in progress. It sucks while they are upgrading cuz the network goes haywire. Mines on and off at least once and hour and a few days I've had 0 service for calls and texts but still able to get data, and 2 nights now I've had no service for over 12 hours. I've had a few times when lte has turned on while they were testing connections tho, and I can actually see them working on my tower from my front porch cuz its only about 1/2 mile from me across a field. But your area is under active upgrading which even if your tower isn't currently upgrading the network gets deteriorated from the offload of towers underconstruction putting strain on the neighboring towers. All the symptoms you've listed in both threads are most definitely network related since you've pretty much ruled out software, its very unlikely that they would be hardware issues.

Check your battery? It could be swollen. Had similar issue with wife's epic after she sampled ics.

[Q] WiFi/USB Tethering FROM an LTE Fire?

I'm thinking seriously of getting a refurb'd LTE FIre HD with one big reason in mind: it's a cheap-per-month, contract-free, LTE-enabled AT&T hotspot with a very decent Android tablet built in.
Reverse logic? Yep. But that's why I have a VZW iPad instead of a Transformer Prime.
Anyway...
Has anyone successfully tethered the Fire, while using AT&T LTE, to another device, whether via WiFi or wired? I assume that WiFi would require rooting the device, and wired might as well (don't know if something like PdaNet/FoxFi would work out of the box).
I don't mind rooting/custom ROMs/etc. in order to get LTE tethering working (I have a custom ROM on my original Fire and odwngraded the baseband on my Nexus 4, to give you an idea). But I don't want to be the first one to test this out, only to find out that it's impossible.
So, can anyone clue me in on this?

Kindle Fire HD 8.9 4G LTE Use

Hello everybody.
I tried searching for a solution but nothing seemed to show up. I have a question about the 4G version of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Because it has more memory than the regular 8.9 (16/32 GB for non-4G vs. 32/64 GB for 4G), I was thinking of getting the one with 4G. Now, if I were to get the 64 GB Wifi+4G LTE version, would the Kindle function properly without a data plan or would Amazon keep shoving the 4G option on the display every minute? Yeah... memory matters a lot to me. Thanks, guys!
It is OK without a data plan. However, the $50/year plan is a steal. I would recommend it strongly.
Cool! Thanks! I'll definitely look into the data plan.

8.9 LTE versus nexus 7 LTE?

Found amazon sells the refurb fire HD LTE for $159.
Besides screen size, how do they fair?
I'm gonna use this on tmo LTE and I know how to install custom Roms.
Yeah, I have the same question. Really tempting and the recent N7 LTE prices were in the same range.
Which ROM would you be using for it? CM11? Does LTE work on the CM roms?

LTE doesn't work on the Official CM11 ROM for the 8.9. The LiquidSmooth ROM is working on LTE support and the devs have posted nightlies for it, but I have no idea how well it works.
The tablet hardware is still old but still perfectly serviceable, but the locked bootloader has meant the Kindle Fire was always the red-headed stepchild as far as support goes. $159 is a great price, but the Nexus is a far safer choice, especially if you really need the LTE to work.
