WARNING: OpenRecoveryScript on Safestrap WILL screw up your FireOS. - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General

If you happen to have a update file on the main area of your internal script, and open Safestrap's recovery after booting the tablet, it WILL mess up the OS to the point where it will simply start at a black screen, and you won't be able to do anything. OpenRecoveryScript updates the file on its own when you open Safestrap, and will install it onto the ROM you're using.
I'm not sure if this is just a bug with my device or not, but I'm just posting this so others can know.

Couldn't really understand what to look for.. Probably you meant internal storage? By update file, what file do you mean?

[Q] The correct order of things to updrade the phone?

So I'm confused; what is the correct order to start upgrading your Huawei u8800? Which is the thing to start with? From what i gathered, the first thing is to do a backup and the best way to do it is with Clockworkmod, but when i check CWM page here on XDA, it says root requiered. Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800 says that i can root the phone with Super Boot, so should i just go with that and worry about backup later? What if i screw my phone up and don't have a backup? Then is the part of selecting a proper ROM, and i think that i'm interested in the most stable one, so wich one i should go with (oh, and a circular battery with a presentage would be nice) custom or just a firmware update? And the Re-Partition mentioned in MoDaCos Ultimate Guide to Huawei U8800, does it also require a root?
Sorry for the n00b questions, but well, i am one.
I would recommend upgrading to stock ROMs first, but in order to install a custom ROM, you need both root and recovery mod. These 2 functions are being are done from the "shadow" memory, using 2 img files (boot.img and recovery.img).
To access that memory and replace the 2 files follow these steps:
1) Download the boot file and rename it to boot.img ( should be "boot.u8800-modaco-superboot-r1") from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...nd-then-some-for-the-huawei-u8800-ideos-x5/om here the zip file (rename if not called that recovery.img).
2) Download and extract the recovery file (extract.zip) from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14870348
3) Turn off your phone and unplug the usb cable. Make sure you have enough battery (at least 50%).
2) Turn on your phone, holding VOL+, VOL- and POWER (should come up with pink screen, to indicate access to shadow memory)
3) Connect the usb cable and the driver should install (don't worry if it says drivers not found, the partition called "image" should still be accessible)
4) Browse your phone to find the folder with boot.img and recovery.img. Copy these 2 files somewhere on your computer, to create a backup of the original files. Now, replace both files with the ones you've downloaded.
5) Remove the battery from the phone to exit "shadow" memory.
To access the recovery mod, press VOL+ and Power, while the phone is off.
I hope this helps...
It does help, thanks! The rooting AND the recovery installation are done simultaneously. But i still have few conserns. Does this all work backwards? I mean in the case of hardware breakage - if i am giving the phone back to maintenance - can i just re-replace the original boot.img and recovery.img and thus "unroot" the phone? Previously recovering backupped data? Is the phone then as it were before whole prosidure?

Yes, replacing all things you done with stock will by default revert it to normal.
Right. One more thing, though this is a bit beside the subject. The re-partitioning, when upgraded from 600mb to 1.2G, does this actually add space for running apps or gives only more installation space?

Yes it gives both actual space for installation. Running apps will always be loaded into ram and swap.
So RAM is its own thing and separate from (ROM?) the increasable space? But what is the actual gain IN increasing it? More apps in the phone? But I've read that the phone gets all cluttered and buggy, if its full of apps. Is this the gain in re-partitioning?

Where have you read that?
The thing is huawei included a external storage(build in SD card) which had the size of 2GB, and internal storage at 600MB, with geno's partition flash you just change the partitions, the 600MB becomes external storage, and the 2GB(1.2GB data) becomes internal storage. So we gain rather than lose storage. So I have used it for now quite and not experienced any problem.
Please link me up on where you found out this cluttered and buggy thing with this ok?
I think that I accidentally misled you on this. It was some SGS(maybe) thread that I read sometime ago. The talk was about phone being laggy and probable cause that it was full of apps. So I kinda gathered that if any android phone is stuffed full of applications, it gets slow. But I guess I am wrong?

Aha, well if the phone gets sluggish is because swap and ram is being used and less free for other processes. You could make it similar to any OS. I have tried once with this phone filled it up had 6mb left wasn't sluggish at.
So if I have still 389mb phone memory left free, re-partitioning isn't really acute procedure for me?

The partition thing will work independently, only thing it does is formatting the external storage(2GB) and then moves all your data on to the 2GB internal SD and that's it. You can do this if you feel like you need lots of space for apps ok?
Yes, I understand. And since I still have lots of free space left, I think I save this for later. Thanks for explaining this to me. Oh jeah, what custom ROM would you recommend? Preferably one that has all its bugs smoothed out?

Uhm, I am really uncertain about this fact. It seems like phones from different regions have different problems with ROMs.
I would say like this, take a tour , visit different roms out and try out them for yourself and see which one suits your needs and such things.

Well, the superuser application is there for applications who require root access to make changes and such thing, so if you were to use SetCPU, noAds or Titanium Backup, they will require access from superuser(root). So don't worry, it works but you need something that demands root access to see anything happen !
And yet more questions. Is there a way to upgrade the touch screen? I mean to up the number of simultaneous touches from two to more?

Flash won't rewrite

The flash storage on my nexus 7 seems to not be rewriting like it should, when i pull it up in Windows i can see and delete things from the MTP interface. But when i use a file manager (OI File Manager) i can see the files once more and get an error when i attempt to delete them. i have done the Backup & Reset option within android after attempting a full data reset in ClockworkMod Recovery. At this point i am scratching my head. i am downloading another rom and will flash and post what i get from that.
Anyone else have this strange issue?
I've noticed this as well, anything I delete with ES File Explorer still shows up when it's plugged into my macbook but isn't actually accessible, I'm still on the stock ROM.

Success!
Using Wugfish Nexus Toolkit, my problem appears to have been solved. whether it is a perminant fix or not has yet to be known.

[Q] CWM on Nexus 4, doesn't stay installed, why?

I have my Nexus 4 now Boot loader unlocked, rooted, busybox installed etc using the Toolkit 1.3.0 with the 4.2.2 files from the official thread, however when I try to install a recovery the touch one just won't work (keep getting an android with his belly open an a red exclamation triangle symbol).
CWM installs but when I boot into CWM and then exit, it gives me a message about the default recovery reinstalling or something, I can't remember the exact message because I had several things to do between getting a chance to post this and when I tried to install it.
From efrant's nexus 4 101 sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010338
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick.

There's your problem right there lol. Waking up every 2 hours for feeding or do you take turns with your partner? :silly: I normally did it because I sleep lightly and I usually put the baby back into the crib and sleep on the comfy rocking chair. Now forward 4 yrs later, my lil one sleeps in a big ol bed but still uses a security blanket.
Congrats on the lil one and treasure all the 3am feedings. They grow up faster than Google releasing Nexus'
Haha Aww we take turns I do one she does one etc. Unless circumstances arise! Like appointments or meetings, doctors and stuff.
Usually I'm happy enough to do whatever feeds my partner asks me to do I enjoy the feeding and changing. Most nights the baby is good and she goes over her bottle if she sleeps we let her sleep until she is ready for the bottle.

Right I finally found the folder, seems deleting the backups does nothing it's all in the blobs and had to delete them through root explorer (I only made the backups to check)
But these backups aren't the same, I've never dealt with blobs before? Usually they were in the /backup folder each backup was in seperate large gb+ file
Sounds like you're using an old CWM build as they stopped using blobs a while ago

Noob mistake. desperate for help

Ok, so I installed Droidsail to try and move my large games to SD card on my S4 to free up some space.
It didnt work, so I uninstalled it. before I uninstalled it I had changed a setting to 'install new apps on SD card'
Now I'm getting an error: Insufficient Storage Available whenever I try to update or install an app.
This includes trying to re-install Droidsail to fix the setting.
I also tried to install Rom Toolbox, and I successfully installed that!
But superuser is out of date so I cant use it to change the setting
Cant update superuser... see error above.
So does anyone know a way to install an app completely manually? Not involving clicking 'install' at all? or another fix?
Can you flash to stock?

Go to the development section and use the search function to find the stock factory ROM and directions to install it. I also suggest you take a lot more time to learn about Android (and the S4 in general) before you do anything else. Good luck.

8 minutes between my suggestion of going to the development section and searching you replying you couldn't find it isn't a very good attempt.
However, you need to restore your phone to the original factory firmware that is supplied by Samsung for the AT&T S4 (i337). There most definitely is a complete thread about this in the Development section. Take a little time and you might find it. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you are not willing to take a little time to look for information and learn about your phone you are only going to screw it up worse.
I doubt you are an idiot (as you stated you might be), I just think you need to learn a little about how these phones work before you end up with a really expensive brick. Good luck.

[HOWTO] Unroot, Remove TWRP, and Prepare to Sell your KFHD7"

I, as well as a few others, are going to sell our KFHD7 devices to get something better *cough* 2013 Nexus 7 *cough*. Before I leave the Kindle community, I would like to help those looking to sell the device. Keep in mind that these are very simple steps and you must have TWRP already working. (You can't really remove something that you don't have, now can you? )
You can choose to do this process entirely on your device or with the help of a computer.
First, grab Amazon's latest update file from http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201016350 (You can do this on your Kindle or your computer) then rename it from WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin to WHATEVER-THE-UPDATE-NAME-IS.bin.zip
Next, Backup all important data. What YOU classify important data as is all up to you. This could be apps (Free apps are located in "/data/app", while premium and paid apps are in "/data/app-asec". Please note that if you copy a premium app from "/data/app-asec", you must also copy it's corresponding folder in "/data/data".), family pictures from a recent vacation (Most likely located in "/sdcard/Pictures" somewhere.), or just some hard-to-find files that work on all newer android devices. You can choose to zip all the files up and put them on Dropbox, or use your computer to "adb pull" them. If you have any questions about backing things up, leave a comment down below.
Third step: If you downloaded Amazon's update file to your computer, you can transfer it over now or wait a step or two.
Now you need to reboot into TWRP recovery. Once you get there (Shouldn't take too long now, thanks to Hashcode! ), if you downloaded the file on your computer, you can wipe your internal storage (/sdcard), system, data, dalvik cache, and cache now. If not, wipe all above except for your internal storage (/sdcard) and flash the zip file you downloaded earlier then afterwards, wipe your Internal Storage (/sdcard). To those who just wiped everything and have the file downloaded on your computer, got to the "Advanced" menu in TWRP and hit "ADB Sideload". You will need to have the proper drivers if using Windows. (Windows always has drivers issues with Android. :/)
If you need help with anything in this thread, please leave a comment down below.
Now that all that is done, reboot your tablet and you should now be 100% stock with NO ROOT, TWRP REMOVED, ALL DATA REMOVED, ALL IMPORTANT FILES BACKED UP, and YOUR KINDLE FIRE HD 7" IS READY TO SELL.

You forgot to mention, after you have completely wiped everything. After the ADB Slideload, once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.
Just to be completely clear, if I download the zip to my device, I wipe EVERYTHING BUT the internal storage, then I can flash it, and then wipe JUST the internal storage?

If you have the zip on your SD card then don't wipe the internal storage until after you flash the zip. If you do, you wipe the ROM too.
If the ROM is on your computer then wipe away. Then in TWRP go to advanced and select ADB sideload, open a command prompt and type adb sideload /path/nameofyourzip.zip and the zip will begin to flash. You will see the percentage of the zip flashed on your computer screen.
I would suggest anyone wishing to sideload the ROM to confirm adb is seeing your tablet. Open command and type "ADB devices." If it remains "waiting for device" adb sideload will not work.
