Fire System Recovery??

Let me start by saying I am a newbie. I haven't done any modifications or anything of that sort to the device. I have a Fire HDX 7" that is about 18 months old. Things were going great and then my reader started acting up. The device wasn't completely turning pages, and then locked up all together. I plugged it in to charge, powered down and left it to charge overnight. Turned it back on and was greeted by a screen that says:

Fire System Recovery

Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot.
Resetting your device to Factory defaults may
help you to fix this issue.

Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.

Reboot your Kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults

So I chose the Factory Default. It doesn't seem to be completing the erase procedure, it won't boot. I tried customer service and they were less than helpful, offering me a discount on a refurbished unit.

I expected more than 18 months out of this device. Anything I can do?

Help Rooting and Installing KitKat on a Fire HD 7

I followed a guide to install Lolipop on my device, I managed to get the 15 Second ADB Installer but could only get the 1.3 version to work.
When I try to do it now it states on the device that I need 1.3.2 or higher. The 1.4 download gives me an Access Denied message and installed 0 drivers.

The device is currently on Fire OS 5, I hear Kit Kat maybe the best option.

Apologies if this makes no sense, many of the tutorials I seem to find are for rooted devices.

Thanks,

Games and Apps not loading on Fire TV Stick

So. Just did a factory reset of my Fire TV Stick. Only problem now is that games and apps will not load from the Home menu.
If I go to the "Games" section, it's only saying "Loading Games..." in the bottom right corner. Same goes for the "Apps" section.

I have really no idea what to do, so it would be great if someone could help me out here.
Just ask if you need more info.

Rooted Fire TV Won't Connect To Amazon

I updated my Fire TV to the latest rbox prerooted ROM after being on an older version & now none of my menus will load & amazon content is unavailable. Everything else works. Any ideas?

About new kindle fire

new kindle fire will have fireos 5.0 without google play. i'll buy one only for playing hearthstone, some video/audio and web. i ask to you if will be possible obtaining the root permission and google play working in that tablet. i need to know this before i proceed with my purchase.
and what you think about the hardware? considering the 1024x600 display i think is good enough to have decent multitasking and good performance.

Sry for my english but i need your opinions!

Downgrading my kindle fire

How to install CM 12.1 on Fire HDX 7?

Hello,
since it is possible to download prime videos on any android device i would like to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 on my fire hdx 7.
I found this Cm 12.1 Port.
Is there a step by step manual how to install such a rom, because i never did that before and i have heard that if you do something wrong your device is broken.
Because I neither know how to get an unlock bootloader or what a TWRP is. Furthermore i also dont know how to flash the ROM.

In some forum posts i read, that it is possible to go from Cyanogenmod back to FireOS (unbrick). For now i dont want to go back from Cyanogenmod to FireOS, but i think it would be good to have such a possibility.
Do I have to take precautions for that?
And how do I make backups?

Info:
Kindle Fire HDX 7" (3. Generation): Fire OS 4.5.5

Thanks a lot

Bricked Fire Phone after unroot.

While trying to get Android Pay to work I removed root from my phone using the option in Kingroot's menu and then restarted. Now FireOS doesn't load and doing a factory restart from recovery doesn't do anything either.

I thought I'd just sideload 4.6.3 and restart from scratch, but when I connect my phone in 'sideload from adb' mode from recovery I only get a "Fire" device in device manager. After a minute it gets an error "Device Cannot Start"

Manaully scanning for hardware changes doesn't give me my "Android Composite Device ADB Interface"

[Q] How to get ITV App on my Fire HDX 8.9

Can I unlock my AT&T Fire Phone without a SIM card?

I know that to enter the unlock code, I have to stick in a non-AT&T SIM card. I use StraightTalk which piggy backs on AT&T's network, so my SIM card doesn't trigger the unlock code screen. It just works. But I would like to unlock the phone anyways so that I don't have to keep track of my code.

Is my only option to borrow someone else's SIM card?

Should I buy the fire phone or not?

Hi friends..First of all I would like to say that I hv gone through the reviews and also some of the videos on youtube regarding the Fire phone and m really confused actually.Currently m using sony xperia M..Prior to that I was an user of Lumia 520..The reason I switched it to xperia m was due to my wish for decent app and also for better performance...I hv heard that the firephone is quite simple to use and does the basic functions quite smoothly.The requirements of mine are
1-Good display
2-Great Sound quality(headphone,loudspeaker both)
3-Very Fast and smooth
4-Very Nice Camera quality
5-Decent Battery backup.
6-It has to Fulfil the basic tasks like texting,calling quite fast.
7-It shouldnt be taking a long time to charge the device.
8-Texting should hv to be possible with the help of one hand and also by lying on the bed.
9-Durable(The devices tht I use often fall from my pocket due to my carelessness :p)
Pls suggest me guys should I go for it or not

Rooted Stock Kindle Fire HD 7'' Youtube issues

hello, as mentioned I'm rooted on the stock OS (system version 7.4.9 user 4952320). Due to the issues with kindles and google play services that started around April or so I have play services stuck at version 7.0.97. I haven't had the need to use the tablet lately and noticed today that the youtube app will not work due to the unupdated google play services. Is there a way to use youtube again on the tablet?

On a side note, I noticed that there was an update for Kindle fire HD 7'' to version 7.5.1 ? I didn't notice until I was searching the forums due to my tablet not telling me to update.

Just got a new "old" fire TV. Should I root it?

I've got 4-5 AFTV's set up in my house running XBMC Gotham with a custom skin connected to my LAN serving content off of my NAS. Family loves it.

Want to put one in the car. So...

No network connection
XBMC Gotham
2TB HDD connected to USB port

Can this be done? IE use a FTV without a network connection?, connect a 2TB drive? (I can connect huge drives to my in-house, non-rooted FTV's)

Should I root this box or let it update and will it act like the ones I have in house? I put FiredTV app on the ones in the house to jump to a menu where I can quickly start XBMC. Is there a better way with rooting?

Is there a good resource I should go to to find out about these things?

Thanks for the help.

Amazon Fire TV 2.0 remote goes from bluetooth to wifi, a bad idea?

2nd-Gen Voice Remote for 2nd-Gen Fire TV
Codename: Gelato
Released: Oct. 5th, 2015
Connectivity: Wifi
Available: Bundle w/ 2nd-gen Fire TV (.99)
Features: Microphone for Voice Search and Alexa
Works with: 2nd-gen Fire TV, 1st-gen Fire TV w/ Fire OS 5, Fire TV Stick w/ Fire OS 5
Note: The voice remotes that ship with the 2nd-gen Fire TV and the new Fire TV Stick bundle are different. They are functionally identical, but the Stick voice remote is constructed from slightly inferior materials.

I have used Amazon's remote app for Android which uses wifi and there is a significant delay before the remote connects with the AFTV. Does dropping bluetooth for the remote seem like a bad idea?

How to restore one Fire Phone to a new Fire Phone?

Is there a good way to backup Fire Phone #1 (with Google Services enabled, etc.) and restore to a new one? I have a 64GB model coming and really don't have time to reinvest in setting everything up from scratch.

Of all the things I dislike about iPhone, their restore (from iCloud) works pretty well.

Thanks.

Fire OS 5 Support For 3rd Gen (2013) Devices

I just saw Amazon's announcement for the new Fire Tablet lineup, and was very happy to see that the rumors where true, and the new version of Fire OS (5.0 Bellini) is a lot more close to standard Android than ever before. However, i am very worried because after looking all over the internet for a list of supported devices, i found this quote in the Amazon Developer Program page:

"Our new tablets ship with Fire OS 5, with features coming to the 4th generation Fire tablets (released in 2014) as part of free, over-the-air Fire OS updates later this year."

I trully hope that this is a mistake, since the older 2013 lineup of Kindle Fire actually have significantly better specs that the new 2015 models. In fact, i own 2 Fire devices (Fire Phone & Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 2013) and have given as a gift 2 more (Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and HD7 2013), that all have better specs than the new lineup, and should easily run the new Lolipop based OS.

I am not a developer, just a trully grateful XDA fan, an i was wondering if the worst case scenario becomes real, and none of those devices are oficially supported, how realistically possible would be to develop a custom Fire OS 5 rom for them, now that Fire OS is way closer to stock Android? I remember that back in 2011, a gentleman made a great custom rom for the Original Kindle Fire. The name if im not mistaken was "Modaco Custom Rom".... Would that be possible now? Thanks in advance.

Fire Phone and Chromecast - anyone else having trouble?

Hi all, I just got a Fire Phone since they're so cheap and have set it up with 4.6.3 and google play, most things seem to be working fine, but I am having some issues with my chromecast. Most apps seem to work Youtube, Beyondpod, Crunchyroll, Play Music and the Chromecast cast screen all work just fine, but Netflix doesn't seem to recognize anything besides my roommates Fire Stick, and Hulu doesn't display the cast icon at all!

Netflix and Hulu are my two most used casting apps so losing them would be a big loss, has anyone else had issues or know of a workaround?
