[HOWTO] (moto-fastboot) Flash a build on an unlocked Atrix

Well, after 4 days of having a nearly functional solution to loopback mount 2.3.4 on (locked) 1.8.3 using 2nd-init... my work is useless. But now we can all run 2.3.4, and whatever else we want!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
We don't even have to use RSD or .sbf files anymore. Why? Because our friends at Motorola also made enhancements to fastboot which allow you to flash >256mb partitions. This means we can overwrite large partitions, such as "system" (/system) and "webtop" (/osh), in addition to the blessed "boot" (kernel+ramdisk).
I've compiled it from the opensource.motorola.com (thanks Motorola!) for linux, it is attached to this post.
UPDATE: Looks like romracer came through for all you people who still use windows, the MinGW version is attached. Thanks romracer!
(After you thank romracer's post you can see this guide)
If the files below (for your 32 or 64 [default] bit system) don't work, you can compile from fastbootNfriends yourself with a string like:
Code:
gcc -o fastboot usb_linux.c util_linux.c fastboot.c protocol.c engine.c bootimg.c -lz ../libzipfile/zipfile.c ../libzipfile/centraldir.c -I../include -I../libzipfile -I../mkbootimg
UPDATE: Helpful users [email protected] and waqy. sent OSX binaries (compiled with extra flags "-framework CoreFoundation -framework Cocoa -framework IOKit") now attached.
Next post will tell you exactly how to use it to test out the HKTW 2.3.4 that was leaked a week ago which gave us all these great clues!
For me, when Atrix is connected ("lsusb | grep PCS" on Linux) it shows up as ID 22b8:708c if its in Fastboot mode.
WARNING
The leaked build from Hong Kong / Taiwan was probably not built for a device that is exactly like ours. Test phones can have different hardware. Don't expect everything to work, it's super-duper beta and since we've all only been unlocked 24hrs no one really knows how usable it is! Flash at your own risk... (PS you can 'Skip' Motoblur just by hitting 'Menu' during setup. It won't connect anyway...)
PPS. You can still use "dd" or something dangerous to overwrite your mmcblk0p11 and mmcblk0p12 with new builds, if you are unlocked, but at your own risk.

HKTW instructions!
So, using eval-'s awesome moto-fastboot from the post above this one, combined with the wonders of an unlocked bootloader, we may finally start to enjoy full roms/gingerbread!
To flash the HKTW files, make sure you unlocked your bootloader. Then, download the following:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=12A2NF3O
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J2VJSGZ7
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z3YKAHNM
Extract them to obtain the following files:
Code:
1c78b33d92f6b956bffbf4b668888ce4 atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
18effca0371c7dbb36ec54443e72414b atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
b762c2a24a928da633c0f152d2fa7870 atrix-2.3.4-hktw-webtop.img
(Alternatively, you may use sbf_flash -x to extract these files directly from the SBF)
Now boot your phone into fastboot mode, and issue the following commands:
Code:
sudo ./moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
sudo ./moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
sudo ./moto-fastboot flash webtop atrix-2.3.4-hktw-webtop.img
sudo ./moto-fastboot -w
sudo ./moto-fastboot reboot
Now observe your jaws dropping as you start to explore this awesome build!
Thanks to eval, the2dcour & [mbm] !

Oh my GOD! thank you a lot!!!
I'll check it out when I get home....

sweetttt, now we wait for devs to make easy deodex flashable update.zip of this build hehehe

Awesome, I'm going to try this now but I need root to use tibu! How do we root this now?

so flashing the HKTW files will get us to an atrix-compatible gingerbread? on an AT&T device?

More targets for webtop, I surmise?

Round of applause to all involved!

Are you on windows? Are you using the moto-fastboot in the first post? If you are running linux and using the moto-fastboot from the first post you should have no issues. And of course, you unlocked the bootloader first.
Please read the first post carefully. Motorola modified fastboot. I compiled their mod for linux, if you have linux, you can flash your /system. Please get linux, or compile it for windows. I don't actually run windows so I haven't compiled it for windows.

I don't believe it will look for it in platform-tools though, I believe it has to be set up in your %PATH% http://www.betatutorials.com/how-to-setup-or-install-adb-fastboot-for-android
You could just open up the file into platform-tools, check the flash-all.bat and do what it lists out manually.

Root without PC (boot loader already unlocked)

Hey
So I WAS rooted until KitKat update and now I'm not. Wasn't a problem as I wasn't doing things that needed root access for a while, but I need to now.
Only issue is that I don't have access to any PC/laptop right now.
Is there a way I can root/gain superuser without a PC? I could have sworn I did this once before but it eludes me now.

custom recovery can be installed without root too... after going to recovery it gives option to root

IF you do not have a custom recovery installed and you have no access to fastboot then you need to find a root exploit to run under the installed OS which gives you a privilege escalation.
If I was aware of one, I would say so, but I really haven't been looking around. Seems like it might be easier to "borrow" a PC to get the job done.
One of the curiosities of working with devices like the Nexus series is that because they are so easily unlocked & flashed using sanctioned vendor methods, there are few N7 devs/hackers that concern themselves with "rooting" the factory ROM. Why bother, right?
So, when there is a widespread linux kernel exploit or generic Android exploit, the Nexus series owners get the benefit of devs developing working exploits for other devices, but not usually until then.
BTW, if you can "borrow" a friend's machine, you don't need to screw it up installing the SDK and a bunch of drivers - you can simply put the linux version of fastboot (plus your "flashables") onto a thumbdrive, boot that PC into a linux "live CD" distro, and run fastboot from linux. No drivers needed; just run fastboot as the "root" user. Hopefully it's not a UEFI-only BIOS.
That sidesteps having to muck someone else's Win-doze box up. You just borrow their hardware, not their operating system. Just mount the USB key, copy the fastboot executable someplace ( /tmp ?), chmod 755 it) and run it as root.* A lot of those "live" CDs (e.g. Ubuntu) have a file explorer on the desktop that allow you to mount different media devices it detects (including USB sticks, etc), so you don't really need to be much of linux wizard to use this approach.
good luck
* some time ago, it seemed that you may have needed to make sure to also grab supporting link-libraries along with the linux fastboot executable, as it is dynamically linked. I remember doing this in the past, e.g.
assuming you have "fastboot" executable, it's supporting libs and your custom recovery image on the root folder of a USB key:
Code:
$ sudo /bin/bash
# mkdir /tmp/foo
# cp /mnt/usbstorage/* /tmp/foo
# chmod 755 /tmp/foo/fastboot
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/foo:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
# cd /tmp/foo
# ./fastboot devices
# ./fastboot flash recovery ./custom-recovery-image.img
I just checked fastboot on my Ubuntu 12.04 VM, and
Code:
$ objdump -x `which fastboot` | grep NEEDED
NEEDED libstdc++.so.6
NEEDED libm.so.6
NEEDED libgcc_s.so.1
NEEDED libc.so.6
all of those libs are included in various places in the distro, so even though the fastboot binary is dynamically linked, you don't need to provide the dynamic link libraries (or use LD_LIBRARY_PATH) in that case.

[Solved] [REQUEST] Partition Dumps

Hello, all!
I know this may seem as an odd request, but if some Kindle Fire HD 7" user out there could get me a dump of the following partitions, I would be very grateful. To dump them, you need to have Terminal Emulator installed from the Play Store and type the following command for each partition.
su
dd if=/dev/block/omap/*/by-name/<partition name> of=/sdcard/<partition name>.img
For example, dumping the system partition would be:
su
dd if=/dev/block/omap/*/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
If someone could do the above process for:
dfs
dkernel
system (only if you are on a custom ROM)
boot (only if you are on a custom ROM)
I would be very grateful. When you are done (system and dfs will take a while), could you put them in a zip file, upload them, and PM me the link? I need it to try and fix my own kindle.
Thanks,
r3pwn
EDIT: I no longer need these. Thanks, stunts513!

[Thor][Apollo] Unlocking bootloader with any firmware

Hello. At first, I did not invent anything new, just checked some my guess on a other motherboard. All thanks and credits to our great developers. As always, all at your own risk.
It does not work on the Fire HDX 8.9 (Saturn)!
All steps in this manual are not necessary but they are present for maximum safety. So I highly recommend do anything exactly in this way. Sorry my English as always =)
Update2 - actual method is https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75284993&postcount=1006
Update: now you can use updated draxie's utility - http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/multi-platform-1-click-bootloader-t3241014
Prerequisites for Installation
- Root
- Installed adb and fastboot drivers - official - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2twXJIOgv-UWWdwRl9TQS11b0k (if your system language not English, after fail navigate to "Program Files (x86)\Lab126\drivers" and run dpinst.exe /EL or switch to English =) for x64 need to disable driver signature verification before install ) also you can use pdanet drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59268023&postcount=8
Manual:
1. Create unlock file following this instruction - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ki...r-firmware-t3463982/post70881555#post70881555
2. Flash old vulnarable aboot and cubed twrp (just in case). Check that all these commands executed without errors. If you'll get one - read second post below. If your firmware <=13(14)3.2.3.2 skip this step.
Download aboot and twrp for Thor (Kindle Fire HDX 7) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2twXJIOgv-UMGxXMUZPZTlZTUk or for Apollo (Kindle Fire HDX 8.9) - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2twXJIOgv-URzJDQkczNzRLaHM - and put this two files (twrp_cubed.img and aboot_vuln.mbn) into root of your kindle internal storage.
Run:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp_cubed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_vuln.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Now you have working twrp recovery. It already works even without unlocked bootloader. You could boot into it by holding volUP during grey kindle logo. But no need to flash anything until unlock. At this point this is just emergency tool if something goes wrong =)
3. Flash unlock file.
Now, if you reboot, you will go straight into fastboot because of old aboot - newest boot.img can't load with it. If your firmware <13(14).4.1.1 you need run "adb reboot bootloader" to boot into fastboot.
Time to flash your unlock file.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock 0xmmssssssss.unlock
You must obtain "unlock code is correct".
Grats. You are perfect =)
You can flash:
CM13 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ment/rom-cm-13-kindle-hdx-2015-11-29-t3259732
CM 12.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ent/rom-cm-12-unofficial-apollo-thor-t3050199
Or stock repacked latest 4.5.5.2 rom - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2twXJIOgv-UVFFtN2RYNXNUZ0k (13.x - thor, 14.x - apollo)
Do not flash original stock firmwares.
Regards and thank to all - @dpeddi, @vortox, @draxie, @ggow, @Ralekdev, @jcase, @Hashcode
And greatest thanks for motherboard for my experiments to @MahmudS !

FAQ:​1. if your get "not such file or directory" after su in step 2 (this is SAFESTRAP related possibly)- try to use next commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/twrp_cubed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/aboot_vuln.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68751981&postcount=35

I think you can use greatest @draxie tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/multi-platform-1-click-bootloader-t3241014 with doing step2 only. But it need to test. Anyway I highly recommend get your hw id's before any actions.

Great job! So, simply flashing the vulnerable bootloader "just works"...
Are you absolutely positive?
Although I've been expecting this all along
[but wouldn't dare trying, since the HDX is *still* my only tablet],
I'm wondering what the supposed "rollback protection" after 3.2.8 really covers.
Fixed issue (now hidden)
BTW: I get the exact same MD5 hash for both versions of 'aboot_vuln.mbn' (the two 'cubed_twrp.img' are different).

Please double-check to make sure Apollo users won't get fried.
You do say that not all steps are necessary. Can you advise if my thinking below sounds correct?
I'm considering adding this to 1-Click; that's why I'm asking.. (If I could also include a surefire way
to root the device beforehand, we'd be all set for a truly 1-Click experience from scratch, modulo
strange Windows behaviour. [if anybody still cares ;-P])
I suppose getting rid of the potentially dangerous anti-rollback-related files is good measure,
but if they had been making any difference, this method shouldn't really work, right?
So, this may not be needed at all.
I'm also thinking that flashing TWRP in the same step -although nice- is not strictly needed.
Would you agree?

I'll see if including the TWRP images in 1-Click pushes the size of the ZIP over the XDA limit.

Updated it through OTA to 3.2.5 > 4.1.1 > 4.5.2 > 4.5.4 > 4.5.5 > 4.5.5.1 > 4.5.5.2
Rollbacked to 3.2.8, updated to 4.5.5.1, Kingroot.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot_vuln.mbn of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
reboot
Boot into fastboot. At this point need to have id's already!!!
Flash unlock, flash recovery, flash upHDXed 4.5.5.2 rom. Succesfully booted up. :fingers-crossed:

I don't suppose this rollback is essential, is it?
It should work just as well to stop the update before the currently unrootable 4.5.5.2, right?

Nice. I'll PM you soon with an updated 1-Click, for testing, if you don't mind.
(I cannot [and don't even want to] test this on my only tablet.)

Of course.

Can it work on hdx 8.9?

Although I have registered my 'thanks' on various posts it seems hollow to not explicitly recognize @ONYXis and @draxie for their tremendous contributions supporting this device both past and present. The ability to unlock virtually any rooted 3rd gen HDX is a true game changer that will revive interest in this discontinued gem that still competes nicely with contemporary offerings. Well done, gents!

You mean Saturn? No, sorry.

Hi, i cant get the adb driver to work with my german Win 10 64bit
dpinst.exe /EL starts fine but throws an error while installing.
So i wanted to try the pdanet drivers but im not sure how to get my fire into fastboot mode ("- connect your kindle already waiting in fastboot mode with usb cable to pc").
Any help? :>

Maybe you need to disable driver signature verification before install. Google it.
fastboot -
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Thanks, that worked. Now i have the following problem when trying "python.exe cuberHDX.py 0xmmssssssss": (tried with 64 and 32bit Python + gmpy2, because that seems to be the problem sometimes)
File "cuberHDX.py", line 7, in <module>
from gmpy2 import iroot, mpz
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 ist keine zulõssige Win32-Anwendung. [last part means not a valid win 32 application]
Thanks for your help!

It is python installation related problem, I really not familar with that. You could post your id's and I'll create and attach your unlock-file.

Next problem :silly:
As long as im not su i can cd to sdcard folder (or storage/sdcard0). But then i cant use the "dd if=/sdcard/twrp_cubed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" command.
So when im SU the command fails and i also cant enter the sdcard folder (no such file or directory). Strange...
