Kindle Fire 5th gen - boon on power or charger - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how I can get the 5th Gen with cyanogenmod installed to boot on receiving a charger or power source?
I've read posts about /systems/bin/charger and to change the power Keenan file, but that doesn't exists.
Can anyone help me with how to wake the fire 5th gen when connected to a power source?
Thank you!!!!

up up up!
up! Looks like my iphone posted the title as "boon" should be boot!
If an admin can change that would be great!
Still in need of help! I can export a list of the system files if necessary, but I have no idea what I am looking for in the systems folders to enable a wake on charge/power

[N2E] Nook 2nd Edition Touch - Root

The Nook 2nd Edition (E-Ink) "Touch" has been rooted by JesusFreke:

Nook 2nd Edition (E-Ink) Root (WIP):
Received a Nook 2nd Edition in the mail yesterday,after signing in, and reading a few pages of a book, decided to try and explore the device for a way to get root. I would like to load the Kindle app and use the built-in browser (hidden from the UI however does appear when needed for Authentication to Google).
I tried the NC barebones nooter image, which contains the TI-Xloader and uboot code on an SD card. This caused the nook to lockup. This is partially good news as it does appear to load the Image from the SD Card at least in much the same way the NC does. As suspected the drivers are quite a bit different from the NC though which is probably why it fails to get to RNDIS.
I also did an exhaustive TCP / UDP port scan 1-65532 which yielded nothing.
To "reset" the N2E after locking up:
- Hold the power button down for 20 secs
- Press power button again
- Plug USB into computer or wall charger
Im going to do a wireshark of the bootup and see if there is anything of interest there as well and post back.
It would be nice to get a rom dump of this thing or an update file. Without either of those this is going to be difficult for me to get much farther.
Great, totally supporting you in the process !
Would love a real e-Ink Android tablet
How does it look so far? Is it a good piece of hardware ?

Most likely the memory configuration differs from the NC enough that x-loader doesn't get very far. If someone can do a teardown we can get some clues, as well as see if the PMIC is the same/similar to the one in the NC so that we could turn on the serial over the USB port for early debug. Or wait for BN to release source.
I would get one if rooted. It would be great to have a device that could do simple internet functions with 3 weeks battery.

If this happens, I will totally be buying a Nook 2nd in fall =D. Good luck!
Yes, any general comments/impressions on the N2E would be of interest, thanks !
not from me but the fun starts.

This is really tempting now since I'd love a rooted e-reader that I can do some minor tablet things with (and reserve NC for movies, games, etc) and dedicated mostly to reading, but .. but.. Amazon's kal-el tablet.. I suppose having too many choices is better than none.

I just ordered mine and it's on the way.
Anyone have a system dump (can dd if=/dev/block/mmcblkp0 of=/sdcard/dump.img)? I want to poke around and see if I can get CWM on it when it delivered.

Get one for your spouse or significant other and justify it by saying you could share Nook books and be Nook friends. That is what I did! If not just get one. You can sell it on ebay later.
My wife loves it so far. I think B&N hit a home run by making it as simple as possible rather than try to push it as a tablet alternative. It is so light and thin that I worry about tossing it in the dishwasher thinking it is a dish or something.
She has a lot of epub books that she used calibre to format and sync with it.

Awesome, congrats! How does it run? Any bugs? If you can it would be great if you could get a video up of it running, I could see it getting even more popular than the precious rooted nook running angry birds as having the kindle app is the no.1 reason people would want to root their nook!
Wonderful! FBReader on my new nook, can't wait
BTW, how long until a Nook Simple Touch forum?

Kindle on the Nook Video (Sorry about the low video quality)

The excessive flicker during page turn is due to the cheesy animation trying to render the sliding page. Looking to see how to turn that off.

Add .mobi books to Kindle App

I'm not sure if anyone else knew this, but I haven't seen a thread like this outside of someone posting a really odd program a long while back. However, I recently found out the kindle app will read MOBI ebooks. To add them to your phone use your favorite filemanager and simple add the .mobi file to Applications\Data\48195fb4-ee0e-e011-9264-00237de2db9e\IsolatedStore\kindle
Just add whatever you like and when you power up the app it will read them. Just a fun find that I had not seen posted that I realized while messing with my phone after getting a kindle touch. Enjoy!
Dude i love you! Thanks for this info really helped me allot. Kindle App is the best app out there for reading e-books.Now that i can put my own mobi books on it is just perfect.
Thank you so much for posting this. This is so awesome. But what files manager did u used?

You are most welcome. I stumbled upon this messing with my new kindle and was I wondered if the app would do the same thing and it most certainly does.

As far as I know there isn't a working one for the lumnia but I used TouchXplorer along with one of the windows apps in the development section to actually get the files onto my phone. As far as I know this only works if you are interop-unlocked as TouchXplorer requires interop.
An update:
Dump .mobi files at this path:
Android\data\com.amazon.kindle\files
and restart the kindle app..
Wow..cannot wait to try this on my phone.
Which file manager did you use anyway?

How to make external USB work on kindle fire HD 9.8 ? is it possible with CM 10.1

Hi guys is there any way to make an external usb drive work on kindle as external storage, like a secondary partition with USB OTG. I'm willing to add an external pendrive to install apps there when I run out of space. Thanks

Kay sorry can you move it.
There are so many levels of wrong just in the thread title...
I mean I'm sorry if I come out as rude but I feel that I should point them out;
1) There is no such thing as "kindle fire HD 9.8"
2) This sub forum is about development.
3) This whole section of the forums is about kindle 1st gen, not kindle fire HD at all.
So yeah it should be moved...

Sure enough I did a mistake its 8.9 , and I thought it was wise to post about OTG in this subforum cause i've been reading there's not much ppl with in depth knowledge about OTG it might be a general matter but it's not. Within standards OTG According to the OTG Supplement Rev 1.0, an OTG A-device must provide at least 8mA between 4.4V and 5.25V to power VBUS, but this is not happening.
So I would like to hear any advices or more experience from other senior members.
thanks again.

How to get Google Voice Typing on Kindle Fire 5th gen (Fire OS 5.1.1)?

I have a Kindle Fire 5th gen, running Fire OS 5.1.1 rooted. I've installed the Google Keyboard, which is vastly superior to the stock one. But the keyboard does not display the microphone button for voice typing, and the option to enable it does not appear in Google Keyboard's settings.
I looked on a CM12 device to see if there was an APK I could sideload, but didn't see anything that was obvious from its name. Is this something I can add to Fire OS, or is it functionality that's core to the OS that can't be added via APK?
Thanks in advance for any help.
this is the forum for the kindle fire 1st gen.

Who is Kingroot and what are they doing to my system?

Hi,
after much fruitless time wasted pouring over the various methods on this forum only to find out that most of it relies on old, out of date exploits which are no longer valid, I finally gave up and tried Kingroot on my 7" Kindle Fire HD , running 7.5.1 firmware.
It worked very well. Initial attempt did not establish root but rerunning from the KingRoot menu succeeded. Cool.
However, I have no idea who I have let into my device, what they did and what level of control they still have.
The KingRoot web site is very coy about who they are and what they do. This is not really the way I want to go. It's only trash device for me which I'm messing with to find my way around. But my ultimate aim is regain control of my hardware not to forfeit control.
Does anyone know more about who this outfit is and how this all works?
Thanks.

The counter argument is that as guys on XDA are open and explain the exploits they also get known to the h/w manufacturers who slam the door closed in a future update and all the hard work is lost . Witness the tons of threads here which are now pretty irrelevant and waste everyone's time.

Thanks shadow. I have precisely determined my model Kindle Fire HD 7" running Tate.
I see in that post in terms of firmware links is the Amazon site which of course only offer the latest and greatest. I have downloaded a 600MB bin file and the version matches what I had. Unfortunately this only give instructions for Mac/Win.
That may at least allow me to get rid of KingRoot. Despite it being very effective in rooting the device, the more I see the less I want it hanging around permanently.
After about four days of eye gouging work on this it seems that I need a circa v7.2.1 recovery image that I can load in using fastboot. This will be a signed recovery and thus should not block the device. It is also old enough for the qemu exploit to work for rooting and to allow installing a secondary recovery like TWRP. Do you know where I can find that?
I still have not found how to get into recovery mode on this thing. I found that holding down the vol. down btn during boot displays "safe mode" at the bottom of the screen. I have seen nothing so far written about safe mode.
Vol up btn during boot does not seem to do anything.. Can you help on that?
thanks.

Many thanks. I've bookmarked that so that I can get there without splashing around for half an hour next time.
That seems full of a mix of 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th gen. posts. Looks like I'm not the only one having trouble navigating the site.
