[Q] Kindle Fire 6.3 rooted...

Hi everyone, Im really new in this stuff, Ive recently rooted my KF (6.3) just for try new thing, I aslo installed some google apps but the kindle app (reader) is driving me crazy, it's just a piece of *&#^ and I feel that the battery life is shorter than i remember so I was wonder what alternatives I have for the reader app or what is the best (safe) way to recovery my KF to an original stock rom (what i have). Ive seen a rooted 6.3 developed by paulobrien (check his/her post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916) and Id like you guys help me with this matter, Im what you geek call a NOOB, so please be kind with me...

Did you do a full backup in recovery before you loaded the new ROM?
If so just boot to recovery wipe everything and reload from your backup.

Stupid 4.3 ota failed!

My N10 is rooted but with a stock ROM. Earlier on it said that there was an update (4.3) and it downloaded it, re booted and then came up with an error saying 'no command' while displaying the small pic of the Android. It sat there for 10 mins and then eventually booted back into the OS. When I checked the version, it was back to 4.2.2.
Now when I check for an update, it says that there's no update available.
What do I do?

Are you on stock recovery? Barring that, clear Google Framework data and try again maybe?

That message is okay. Nothing is wrong with your tablet, other than the fact that the update didn't take. Do as the above poster said, or manually install the OTA.

Why not try to check again for the OTA? No worries dude... That's not an unusual thing to happen . Also you can try doing what the other two said ,)

Thanks guys. I cleared Google Framework Data and the download started again and failed again. This time, all it said was "error"!
I really don't want to zero the tablet again and lose all my data by doing the update manually. Is there any way to avoid that?
Also is there anything great about 4.3 that makes the update worth doing?

Its probably because your tablet is rooted. Try unrooting and then doing the update.

Yeah, I thought that was it too so I unrooted and tried again. It's still the same.
I really don't want to do a factory reset and manually update the bloody thing - I'll lose all my stuff!
Called Google support and sent them pictures of the Android screen (they asked for them!) and apparently they're investigating...

Yeah maybe you just need to wait a little more so you won't be like me. I just bricked mine today trying to do a factory reset .

You can manually update without performing a factory reset by just pushing boot and system, although you need to know what can go wrong before you try.

Same issue, rooted and custom recovery.
But if they are investigation, maybe I won't remove the custom recovery, too much work.

I got the 'error' screen too. pressed power and volume and it told me that build.prop failed the file check, pulled an fresh copy out of the old factory image, copied it to my n10 and tried the OTA again. All went ok, now on 4.3

Same error!!
Already did a factory reset and still have the error

Same problem here. Rooted on stock. Keep going to Recovery, then errors when trying to apply the 'untrusted' update, as it states.

Same problem here....rooted with stock recovery, tried three times clearing the data from Google framework but no luck so far...

To bring my question back to the forefront. That was last week and out of all the views I had zero response ....I'm actively trying to track down this issue and correct it because for me it us a problem.....I think this has to do with just sprint phones......or it could just be mine in particular but whatever the case I would like some kind of guidance other than "use an alternative method" if this is a bug I can't believe I'm the only one having it......

well since i cant get the dev from goo manager to respond to me and everyone in the TWRP thread insists on going about this with one of the alternative methods i guess ill just give up my search since the only one posting in this thread has had ZERO suggestions as to what could actually be causing this problem. mod please delete

4.3 update questions...

Hey everyone I have a few questions hopefully that can be answered. I took my phone to bestbuy today because I jacked up my recovery and it disappeared so they fixed that and now my root is gone which is what I wanted to happen because of the 4.3 update. If my phone is still rooted somehow will the update jack up my phone? Or will it just get rid of the root and make it like everyone else's phone? Second question. When I try and look for updates by hitting the update button in settings it won't let me do so. I remember freezing DM manager with titanium and I don't know why it would still be frozen because my phone got flashed back to stock. Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me... :/ I have a feeling its just me. Hopefully not and its just a common prob. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you!

you took it to best buy. to restore it to stock. it is stock, not rooted. The update button is for updates from samsung, you just got restored to the latest update. there is no updates available.
Is titanium backup still installed?

I uninstalled it cuz there was no need for it anymore. I don't have root access anymore but It is just odd that the Software Update button worked before and I was able to at least connect to at&t to check for an update and now it won't. I was wondering if there is a possibility that something glitched and at&t DM server is still frozen.

look in about phone>Device Status, does it say 'modifed' or 'normal'?'

Sorry for the late reply... it says Samsung so I'm assuming normal.

[Q] Canadian Variant [SM-N900W8] Stuck In Boot Loop!

I've been reading through other threads here on XDA about a common boot loop issue that N900T users are experiencing, but nowhere was it mentioned that the Canadian variant users had a similar problem, but I do.
I was wondering if there were any other SM-N90028 users out there that were stuck in a boot loop?
Here is my situation:
I have a Canadian SM-N900W8 (it is, also a Qualcomm LTE version) and I'm in a boot loop... it all started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.
I can't, however get it out, and I've tried all of the versions of TWRP, I've also used odin like 30 times... nothing.
I successfully restored a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..
So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.
if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!
I really hope I will be able to fix this...

Not to sound.to xdaish...but dude seriously this topic.is all.over the n3 forums. Have a.look and you will find tons of info.
Also...good idea to.read prior to flashing..if you had you would have know not to restore with twrp since it causes bootloops.
Just trying to you some friendly advice.

Thank you, but I've read them all and most are regarding the n900t, I felt it appropriate to ask about the n900w8 variant.
Also, I know that would have been better, but it's too late for that now. I just thought I'd share my experiences here with this issue so that others will know better.

So I tried a different stock ROM, and with the latest version of Odin, but it still is in a boot loop.
However there is one difference; this time it will boot past the Samsung logo and into android, but then a window will pop up saying "Process system isn't responding" and ask me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.
In the very short time that everything stays booted for, I can access the two pull-down menus from the top, but selecting anything will yield me no results.
Perhaps this can tell us more about this issue?
