Having problems rooting this unit. Have tried Kingroot, Framoroot,Kingoroot but APK will not install. Is this unit rootable at present, if not is it likely in future?
Would it be posible from a PC? I have rooted several other Android devices in the past with minimal problems problems, are the manufactures becoming more difficult?
Bump? Anyone?
Bump, no one?

Hi, All.
Due to a bug in Lollipop, custom ringtones are not 'remembered' by my Nexus 4. This seems to be quite widespread over different phone models, and it's damned annoying.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/u8DKxK_Yhn4
My questions are-
a) Does anybody have a resolution to this that doesn't involve rooting the phone to gain write access to /system/media/audio/ringtones ?
b) If rooting the phone is the only solution, is this article still considered the best method of rooting a Nexus 4 (it's three years old):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/guide-ultimate-nexus-4-root-guide-t2018179
and if not, could you please advise of the current, best method of rooting a Nexus 4.
Current details: Android 5.1.1, Baseband:- M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1701.07 - Kernel:- 3.4.0-perf-g99F5b2b - Build #: LMY47V
All help appreciated.
Yes that guide works, just flash TWRP instead of CWM.

Hi,
Recently got this xtrons pa77aa3p android 7.1.2 head unit . the sound sucks, i used to get lots of bass, now i barely get any. I've read that the Viper4Android app might help some if I can get root on this device...
Kingoroot does not work - black screen and exit on run. *#hct#root# does not work. Can you get into these units via ADB? If so, what is my liklihood of bricking the thing if I were to follow some phone type method to try and root via ADB? Is there something else I should try instead/additionally?
Any help would be much appreciated as currently the sound sucks
Thanks,
Ike
well root should be sorted thanks to Malaysk's timely ROM
tomorrow will be to investigate whether the bass issue is software or hardware related...

Anyone know how to roots or upgrade a Xtrons TS702L Quadcore 1gig ram ?
I have my shield on stock rooted marshmallow. Plex as client is buggy, keeps fastforwarding among other issues.
I'm hesitant to fastboot flash an updated FW after bricking my last 2017 stv doing so.
Any tips would be great, it seems the shield tv xda forum is rather lacking considering the capability of the hardware. The stv subreddit isnt much better.
Hey guys,
I'm a complete noob here.
Recently was handed an Amazon Fire HD 8 2015. It had Fire OS 5.1.2 installed, and I didn't know anything about it, so when I first connected on my wifi network it updated to the latest (AFAIK) Fire OS 5.3.6.4 (5.6.3.0?).
I really want to install a custom ROM, but as far as my reading in this forum allowed me to know, this isn't possible at the moment? So I guess it never will, as this is an older model, and as it seems it wasn't very popular?
So, considering all that, what are my best options to make this thing more usable? Right now it's very sluggish. Even if it's main purpose is for reading PDF files, and browsing the web also mainly for reading news and stuff.
It seems like the RAM is the main culprit with the stock software? Would changing the launcher help?
Also, is it possible to root it with this firmware? What about TWRP?
I'm really looking for help on what's possible to hack in this model with the latest firmware. Most of what I read is directed to the Fire 7 model, and I'm never sure if the methods presented in many posts will brick my Fire HD 8.
I'm also considering just replacing the launcher and uninstalling Amazon apps that are possible to get rid of, to have a lighter and faster system, but I'm not sure what methods are possible without root for this system, and I'm afraid to brick my fire just trying random stuff.
Really appreciate any help.
TIA!

You can use Amazon Fire Tolbox:

Gracias por la respuesta!
I just managed to install a new launcher and get Launcher Hijack working (got pass the childish app name block from Amazon). It's a completely different tab now. It's flying!
If I just can get the device rooted to remove some more Amazon crap, and get my simple stuff going, then I can be 99% happy!
Another person is willing to help me to root my device using a hardmod found here on XDA. I'll read the thread carefully to find out if my model is compatible. Crossing my fingers here.
Thank you for your help once again!
Hi guys,
I have the fire 7 HDX 3rd gen. Great tablet but think it could easily run android Pie. I have built a few roms for my phones an am still learning how to build.
My question is before i expend a lot of wasted time trying to port Pie to the HDX is it even a possibility ? Obviously the device drivers and kernel will need to be updated.
I have a few ideas on the kernel perhaps use an updated kernel from a current Pie port from a device running Pie.
The drivers am not sure if they could be coaxed into running under Pie or if I'd need to also find updated drivers again from a Pie ported device.
Am I wasting my time even considering trying this ?
Any advice or feedback on this would be much appreciated so thanks in advance.

The resource most familiar with porting custom ROMs for HDX devices is still struggling with Oreo. Undocumented kernel and specialized device drivers are the biggest challenges. Me thinks you would have your hands full.

Thanks for your reply and giving me an honest assessment on this much appreciated. I had an idea it would not be an easy task or else someone maybe would have done it by now.
It is a shame this is unlikely to happen since I believe the hardware is more than capable of running pie. Hell many devices with lesser hardware are running pie so the HDX should have no problems doing so.
Ohh well I will just enjoy using my HDX as is.
Thanks again RemusW.
ps. sorry for the multiple postings.
