Hey all, I just got the Moto 360 2nd gen and I love it, I even paid for 4000 watchfaces. Only problem is I cant get them on because I dont have an android phone and im using a windows PC. Please help anyone???
Smartwatches require smartphones. Trying to do anything without a phone will be difficult or impossible.

Hi guys!
I don't know if I should post it here but if it's in the wrong section i'd request the mods to move it to the appropriate section. I'm recently getting into the tablet market as I'll be needing it for college soon (I'd rather spend more on the laptop than the tablet), I'm considering the original kindle fire since well its cheap and has lots of custom roms to go with it (plus I don't need extra features such as the front camera and store most of my stuff on the cloud anyways).
So I was looking on ebay some of the kindles are being sold for around $110-120 being unregisterable, what does that mean? and will I be able to flash a custom rom on it and use google play? Is it worth it to buy that?
Thank you!
It means they are blacklisted by amazon according to serial number so you will have no access to the Amazon market. Which really means nothing if you're going to just flash a rom on it. Then you can use the Google Android Market instead. IMO its a little high for a blacklisted device that's what I think you should pay for a fully functional 1st gen. device heck a second gen basic kindle is 159.00 70-80$ would be much better considering its dysfunction.
Hi,
I recently bought a Kindle Fire HD X43Z60 from the electrical retailer I work at for an absolute bargain price BUT I forgot about the demo mode on it. Now in many of our other tablets at work it's fairly simple to uninstall demo modes but seemingly not the KFHD, and after reading MANY forums and threads and watching LOTS of youtube videos I cannot find a straightforward and also up-to-date way to basically re-install the OS.
I am using Mac OS X Mavericks to do this but can get access to a windows 7 PC if necessary. I've also seen some debate about the success rates of the fastboot cables.
I really want to get this working so I can gift it to someone else especially as it was such a bargain.
Many thanks in advance!

You simply need a fastboot cable. There's an adapter that is even nicer you can just plug in-between a normal cable and the kindle that does the same thing here: http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm
Now here's where i have to ask, is this the 2013 or 2012 kindle hd? You can tell based on if it has a camera. If it does its a 2012, if it doesn't, its a 2013. The 2012 can be restored to a normal os via kindle fire first aid, whereas we just worked out a way to restore a kindle fire hd 2013 so the script just came out i think.

Hi, it has a camera on the front but none on the back so it must be the 2012 model so i just need the adapter then? whats the process once i have the adapter?
thanks for your help
Yes you just need an adapter, once you have that it will kick it into fastboot mode. You may need the drivers in my signature once it is in fastboot mode. Once you have the drivers installed use kindle fire first aid to restore the kindle. Once it does that you should have a fully working os and the ability to flash 2nd bootloader +twrp and another os like cm so you can have a complete android tablet.

hello
did you manage to fix this? i have the same problem having bought a ' 13 ex-demo unit from john lewis earlier this year (without being informed, despite a lengthy conversation with an amazon rep (!) about the pros and cons of fire hd vs paperwhite, that it was going to be like this). i got a fastboot cable made up but it doesn't enable the fastboot. i am interested that you comment that there have been reports of the cables not working. thanks

What does demo mode not allow you to do?
Can you not copy the update to the KF as per the factory reset options on Amazon's support site?

Don't have a HD, only a Fire 2, but I would have thought you could just flash stock firmware again.

Hi,
i just received my moto 360 2nd gen and was wondering if there are any alternative chargers/docks that are compatible with the moto 2015 2nd gen?
I have one in my desk (the one it came with), but i would like to buy 2 more, for home and travel-purposes.
I had to buy my moto 360 2nd gen through a french friend and on the french motorola website, but I wasn't able to buy an extra charger/dock separately.
I have cheap qi-chargers from China but these don't seem to work. So if anyone have some alternatives and have tested these, that would be great.
I have found some that say they work, but if someone could confirm a working one, that perhaps also ships to belgium ...well... that would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Damn, wrong forum. should be in the subforum Moto 360 2015.
I didn't find a way to delete or move the post.
Hey guys, I was checking out the $33 Kindle Fire on amazon tonight and was thinking about picking it up with a PS4 controller mount to go with it.
My main concern is will the PS4 controller work with the Kindle Fire without any rooting or modifications? I don't mind using a cable, but bluetooth would be pretty nice too sometimes. I feel like Bluetooth would need Root access though, is that right?
Second question, are the Kindle Fire tablets easy to root? I've seen a lot of guides on google, but they all really REALLY look like click-bait and survey site ****.. I haven't been able to find a legit link yet.
Looking through the Frequently Asked Questions in this forum seems to indicate that ANY kindle bought after 2012 is a no-go on rooting.
Thirdly, totally random but has anyone tried Pokemon Revolution Online with the Kindle Fire? They have a simple .apk file download on their site so I'm thinking it should be very straight forward but just figured I should ask since I'm posting.
Finally, would you guys recommend this tablet at $33? I mean it def seems like a steal.. pretty decent spec'd tablet at $33 with the Amazon guarantee... but also seems a bit too good to be a true.. like I'm missing some small detail or something.
Thanks guys!
I've been researching this for the past 5 hours goin crazy.. so it seems like IF amazon ships the 5th gen fire with 5.1.4, 5.1.3, or 5.1.2.1 I should be ok and can downgrade to 5.1.2 which should be rootable!
If this works.. I believe the PS4 controller should be able to connect via Bluetooth with Sixaxis app.. but I really don't mind using an OTG cable as Bluetooth will probably eat away at battery. I hope both OTG and Bluetooth work tho!
And as for being worth it.. for $33 I don't think anyone could go wrong!
But any suggestions, comments or confirmation of possible theories is still appreciated!
This is not the 5th gen forum

Hi there is there anyone out there working on a port or will be working on a port for the original moto 360 and Android wear 2.0 as they have successfully done for the original LG G watch W 100.
This would revive the still great spec watch.
I wanted to do so, but I can't unlock bootloader. Maybe somebody knows how to downgrade bootloader ?
Unlock bootloader
Hi, I found this on youtube: watch?v=lUq1Qf9Z0os and watch?v=FMrywAnwqZ0 (i can't add full links yet)
I havent tried these methods, but it might help unlocking bootloader.
+1
I can try to do so, but I need cable to connect Moto 360 to PC. I can't buy it anywhere and I don't know how to make one
