My tablet keeps rebooting. - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought this tablet on ebay.
Information about this tablet is on here https://www.ebay.com/itm/253519328730?ViewItem=&item=253519328730
So anyways, I downloaded some themes, and apps and then all of a sudden it starts to bootloop. The seller gave me links to how to fix it but it all seems complicated. I just really need a more simple way to solve this, thanks.
I also noticed a theme I installed made the system ui stop, maybe its the theme thats causing it?
FIxed the problem just had to find out how to make the twrp recovery come up.

Lost access to copy protected apps after root + A2SD

Hi guys I rooted my desire using the live cd method, powered up my phone before installing a2sd and I could see all of my download history on the market with access to all apps. After this I booted into recovery using step2 on the live cd and installed A2SD. When I turned the phone on again all of the download history was gone and I can't see apps like Google Earth, National Rail etc.
I thought I did something wrong so I wiped the device and installed the rooted rom update again with a2sd at the same time. The problem still exists and nothing has changed.
Could you please help me because this is very annoying and I cant set up my phone the I want until this is resolved.
Very strange... Use Market enabler > http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_latest.html
install, apply new settings and reboot, problem solved
Thanks for the suggestion but the market enabler doesn't solve it, I tried it.
Another strange thing that I found is I have an .apk of CoPilot which I was using before rooting and when I tried installing it now it gives me an error "Application not installed".
I still haven't solved this problem and its really bugging me.
I un-rooted my phone and used a different google account with no luck. I still don't see some applications in the market.
Just to let you know I am in the UK using a generic sim free desire on 3 network. Could you please, please, please help me out. I am running out of options and I thought unrooting would fix it.
Weird issue you are describing. As far as I know it depends on the fingerprint of the build.prop in the ROM (and if Google added it to the white list(?)) or not.
Many people are using the rooted ROM (all the same build.prop) and they can access protected apps just fine. So probably the problem lies elsewhere.
I have a similar problem, before I rooted my device I could see all apps I bought in my g1 days. After I rooted first of all none showed up, after a day or so only a few showed up... rebooted a few more times (only ever flashed once using Windows with apps2sd) now I have a few I had before show up not all just a few and thats how its been since. weird. I had half results :/

Same problem here with one single application.
Had SlideIT paid version installed on stock firmware.
Once i rooted it gave me the message "application not installed" once i tried to install it.
Funny enough the SlideIT lite version is still able to install fine.
Definitely want it to work again, so i hope someone knows how to fix it
I tried a couple of different ROMs today and had this same problem, clicking My Downloads would just show a blank screen, and there was no "Top Paid Apps" tab. I tried unrooting, rerooting, nothing fixed it, until I found this;

Pushing that xml file (note the spelling mistake before you do it) fixed it all back up, no idea what caused it to get all messed up and why it wasn't fixed by wiping and reflashing.

I tried to push the file via adb shell in windows and got permission denied. Am I doing it right or do I need to root the phone again to be able to push that file because I have reverted back to the generic stock rom?
Mine was rooted when I pushed it, try re-rooting it and pushing it again I guess.
I finally got around to re-rooting it and tried your solution with pushing that file but no change to my market
Just to be clear I can see the Top Paid apps tab, but I cant access copy protected apps like Google Earth.

[Q] anyone else having trouble downloading apps in G-play?

I'm rooted and just recently did a full, complete wipe and fresh install of Liquid's 1.1. I think the problem, honestly has followed me from another ROM although I'm not sure which one, So I'm equally not sure if the ROM is the problem. Anyways, I keep getting these error messages that says it can't download the app. The first few times it was just an error box, but after the fresh wipe and install it is giving me an error code. (pic down below). can anyone make it out? I also went into apps manager and wiped the cache/data from just the app. Sometimes it will let me download something when I do this, but then after that, BAM! back to no downloads.
It wouldn't be so bad if I could download from the desktop but it won't even let me do that! It shows that I tried to purchase the apps but never installs them.
I wonder if anybody else has been dealing with this and/or found a solution. I'm afraid I might've broken something that isn't being fixed through normal wiping. which means I might have to unroot, then root. 'grumble'. I'm a noob, (if you couldn't tell by the long post), so any suggestions would be most helpful.
Edit: I looked into the troubleshooting portion of the play store and followed the directions if you are having trouble downloading apps and it worked... for about three or four apps then it starts saying error processing purchase. I dunno what to do...

UI crashes on CM11 M6

Hi there,
I got a refurbished otter at the beginning of the week. I followed the guides here to install FFF, TWRP and CM11 on it.
First, a big thanks to everyone involved.
I'm getting what look like UI crashes, which I've been able to reproduce with Firefox but it seems they are not limited to it.
To reproduce:
flash FFF, TWRP and CM11 M6
install FF from the Play Store
configure Firefox sync
browse to any page
I should note that I configured my Google account at boot, and that I use a Hebrew locale.
On my device, I get a blank screen, followed by a return to the launcher or previously opened app, followed by more crashes until the CM boot animation shows on top of the launcher. When it completes, a dialogue appears noting the system UI has stopped working. It returns after confirming the message.
Should I report this to Mozilla and/or CM? I'd like to collect more information, where can I find any relevant logs? If so, is it possible to increase the logs' verbosity?
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting those same notification/notification bar/UI crashes on Nook HD+ using CM11 (nightlies and M6). I don't use firefox, so that is not your problem
I was actually getting them more in the previous nightly builds. CM11 M6 seems to have helped a little.
Mine happen seemingly randomly when I get notifications for a new email or hangout and I try to swipe down the notification bar to see what they are.
I've tried wiping the davlik, the entire cache, and even doing a factory reset. Nothing seems to work.
Anyone else have some advice?

I have the exact same issue for about 2 months i believe.
This happens usually when pulling the notification panel down. It think it happens when you chain a lot of actions one after other. Like unlocking phone and pulling down the notification than tapping another thing etc...etc...
Hope this will be fixed soon, it usually disturbs the usage a lot. I was hoping M6 would solve that.
Back to m5 guys, my Galaxy Nexus has the same problem here, so I revert back to m5 and everything works fine, except the stock browser has startup crash sometime
Does anyone know if the devs are aware of this issue?
I just reproduced this on today's OtterX CM build.
I'm having the same problem. Had been running one of the earlier nightlies without any notification bar problems at all. Updated to the M6 release and now this problem occurs every few minutes. System is now totally unstable with M6. Firefox crashes more frequently now too.

ARG! Sure wish I had seen this before spending the whole day restoring my Kindle to the older nightly after having to wipe it.

I followed your steps exactly and I am not able to get this problem to occur. Are there any other steps you you may have omitted? Any other apps you installed or any other actions you performed in addition to what you listed here? Also, are you sure it's "any page"? Is there a specific site you were trying to go to when this happened? I'm trying to work on a fix for this issue and was hoping I could reproduce the problem based on your information but my device is still functioning fine. The more information you can provide the better and ideally I'd like something that can be reproduced consistently.

Since I have now reflashed back to my older nightly I can't give you exact steps but here is what I experienced. I also got a stock KF a while ago and since I didn't want the stock release, followed the instructions to reflash it. At that point I did the full device wipe and flashed the 20140407 nightly build. No problems at all, the system ran beautifully. This week, I got the notification that M6 was available for installation so I went to Settings->About tablet->CM Updates->Available Updates and clicked the download. It downloaded and installed without any problem. Rebooted and problems began immediately. Firefox was immediately unstable and began crashing frequently. The "UI" would hang and go black then crash and come back up in lock screen. Pulling the notification bar open would hang and then the system would crash. Things really became completely unuseable.
So today I tried rolling back to the previous nightly that had worked well. This time, I didn't wipe the device, just reinstalled the nightly and wiped the cache after installation. See my previous thread about how that turned out. The status bar was totally hosed, the quick settings panel didn't work, the home button didn't work, the extended power menu was gone. Just a complete mess. So... I wiped the device and reinstalled the nightly and brought everything back to life again.
Now I don't know if the issues were caused by a flakey M6 release, or the installation process which left some droppings behind as I didn't try installing the M6 release after a full wipe. But I do know that after a full wipe the 20140407 nightly is working without a problem. I can't say for sure but my expectation is that it had something to do with the installation process not doing a clean install rather than a bad M6 release.
I made a test build which reverts a change I suspect may be the culprit. If anyone cares to try it out, here is the link. Please do not go around sharing this will a lot of people since it is currently hosted on Dropbox and they will throttle it if too much traffic is received.

Dropbox is still syncing so if you get an error 404 just try again in a couple minutes.

I saw in the bug report you've already found a way to reproduce, but just in case, as I wrote there I've found it reproduces by installing Adblock Plus - I close the app completely in the app drawer to make sure FF restarts with the add-on installed. After it restarts it should show a quick configuration page where you can enable blocking of secondary things like tracking and malware. In the first paragraph is a link to another settings page. In this other page all I have to do is zoom in or scroll around and most of the time I'll get a crash within a minute.

Downloaded, will be tested later today (in about 12 hours).
Edit: been testing this for about an hour now. The system seems very stable, even more than M5.

It looks like there has been a fix for this problem. Has the fix been incorporated into one of the nightly builds or is it still only available as a patch?

Had the same issue with M6 but now I thing they have fixed the issue, not sure which nightly build but build dated 20140602 fixed the issue for me.
I did a clean install.
Followed following steps.
1. Boot into recovery(CWM).
2. Factory Reset.
3. Cleared Dalvik cache.
4. Installed zip and run "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip"
5. Installed "cm-11-20140602-NIGHTLY- i9300"
6. Installed Gapps for kitkat.
7. Reboot.
I have not faced the same UI crash issue so far will update if I face in future .
For "defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip" refer following link(I used the first one):

[Q] !!! Bunch of google play errors on every restart !!!

I have been seeing these bunch of errors (screenshots) at every re-start for the past couple of days. I am running Viper Rom version 2.5.
I tried to run the GPE rom as well but i get the same errors on that rom as well. Not sure what the issue is but nothing is broken apart from the weather app/widget not able to find the current location. It just shows 'current location' instead of the actual location. But this does not affect the Maps at all, it pin points my exact location on the Map.
Can anybody help with this?
Sounds like a dirty flash, did you do a factory reset? A factory reset should fix that.

Yes i did a reset and clean flash. Still has the same issues.
I'm having the same issue on viper 2.5. Never had problems before. I even followed steps to convert play store from user to system app and downgraded play services to the latest 5 version, in which everything works well, cleared data/cache/defaults, uninstalled and reinstalled market. But every time I reboot it updates to version 6 and the problems begin. I even used disable services app to prevent it from updating, but still happens. Any help would be appreciated. (Forgot to mention that all apps work well but with constant error pop-ups)
Glad you wrote this. Been having same problem a UK rom debranded m8. I get the same errors restart but google play is popping up saying there's been a problem followed by a goggle services popup. I narrowed it down to either news and weather app or me just getting a new car and syncing with it. Filling in a zip code made the errors less. Still annoying as hell. Either latest google play update borked things or news and weather is causing a big fluke like it has several times in the past.

[SOLVED] Can't download large apps from Play Store

Good morning everyone,
I flashed Nougat OxygenOS (Open Beta 8) some days ago and made a full factory reset to obtain f2fs filesystem.
Since then, I can't install any big app from Play Store; with "big" I mean "games bigger than ~100MB", for example Monster Dash, Need for Speed, Implosion or Badlands.
I read about other people having the same issue, but no solution. Is anyone having this?
EDIT: issue solved in OpenBeta9!
Thanks.
Yup, same here. Downloads disappearing during downloading process has been a common issue on most of my android phones. But it's happening more regularly with OP3 now and wasn't an issue on stock build 3.2.7.
no problem.. are you waiting for wifi to download or what?..
Never had this issue before.
Tried in wifi, but when I click "install" it seems stuck with the "Downoading..." status with no progress.
Issue solved with OpenBeta9.
Thanks anyway!
