GameWorld OS Kids Edition BETA ROM! - Fire General

Happy new year everyone! I am back again with a sorta new ROM! Now parents don't need to buy the fire 7 kids edition for £100+! Simply just get the 5th gen, and root it first, do not connect to WiFi as that will update the device which we don't want!
Before installing, follow rootjunky's tutorial on rooting the tablet if its on 5.0, 5.1 or 5.3.1 as you need to know how to root the tablet before continuing!
Try one of these two videos from him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux-2b3X3BlI (5.0 or 5.1.1)
https://youtu.be/LfxfZkI_l4I (5.1.2)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xg73N_6A_W8 (5.3.1)
If you are on 5.3.2.0, follow a video from rootjunky or Superuser:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb1Jax6vWjk By Superuser (Windows Version)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iv0VcNM8IAw By rootjunky (Macintosh Version)
DO NOT DOWNGRADE LOWER THAN 5.3.1, OR YOU'LL HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
If you are not on 5.3.2.0 but updated to a higher version, you cannot install my ROM unfortunately!
Here is another video on how to install a custom ROM on the tablet by Superuser:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l078mBChm44
This ROM contains root access, so a trusted teenager or adult can modify the system partition... It also has Google services built into the OS! It also contains the AppLock application so you parents can lock SuperSU, this is so kids don't accidentally ruin the system partition!
Three kid friendly things included currently are:
-Kidspuzzles
-Geometry Dash SubZero
-Monkey Stories
All the apps I included are in the system partition and can be removed via root!
Here is the ROM, based on Pure Nexus by "ggow", turn your tablet into a Nexus 7 kinda:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IPYKIDWUTl89jnHsAm5gZodqKNma_ys6/view?usp=sharing
Creator called "ggow" is the developer of "Pure Nexus"! Go check him/her out, he/she is a great software developer!
Hope you all enjoy

Do I get it right that the only prerequisite is a rooted 5th gen fire 7? For most of us then it's already too late, I'm afraid, as one not easily gets one... A lot has changed in the past year, not only have kids grown older...

How long would you expect for fresh install from a class 10 SD card? I thought I'd give it a try as I'm looking to repurpose my Fire HD 7 into something for my kids to mess around with. I flashed using FlashFire (including the "wipe" step first), and it's been sitting here on a screen with animated circles for over an hour...

Anyway to downgrade from 7.4.8

Today I just scored a Kindle Fire HD 1st Gen (at least I think so). The back say Model Number X43Z60.
I have been studying this thread http;//wwwforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909&nocache=1
+Note: As of Amazon OS update 7.3.x+, there has been a lot of issues with rooting and flashing the 2nd-bootloader. Many users reported bootloops during the completion of the guide. Those with tablets running 7.3.0 or higher, please proceed with caution, and make sure you have a factory cable on hand if you wish to advance. I strongly recommend you make backups in Step 2. If you want guaranteed success, use this tool to revert back to 7.2.3 before using the guide. You will need to flash a brand-new 7.2.3 on top to revert, so you will lose everything if you don't backup your files first.

Will the tool in the section above allow me to downgrade from 7.4.8?
Also are there any guides floating around on how to make a fast boot cable?
I have a cord factory cord that I had made for my Motorola would that work?
*********************************************************************************************
I feel like a complet idiot for even posting that, after a bit of research I found this method (check it out) which a few people had confirmed that it work on the newest Kindle OS which shortly after I posted my Kindle updated to (7.4.9).
A lot of clicking later and my fire is running CM flawlessly!

Convert Prime Blu R1 HD 7.4.2 to OEM, My Experience and Instructions

I've seen a lot of questions about the unlock/root possibilities with new Blu R1 HD and I thought I'd post my experience with the phone last week / post a guide to follow what I did.
My wife's phone broke and had to be sent in to the manufacturer for repairs which could take up to two weeks after they receive it. I have a Blu R1 HD I bought in August last year that I installed the non-Prime OS on and thought that might be a good way to go, so we decided to get a Blu R1 HD and FreedomPop service to give her something to use in the meantime (her phone was a Nexus 5X on google fi so we couldn't just put her current SIM in it). I was a little concerned at first about whether or not it could be unlocked and converted to a non-Prime version but decided to give it a try anyway.
Fortunately, the phone I received was version 7.4 .2. From what I have gathered, if your version is any higher than 7.4.2 you can't do anything. Along those lines I did made sure to not let it update and did the minimum required to get to where I could enable developer settings / ADB, etc.
The end goal was to install the non-Prime OS. In order to do that, you have to have the preloader that can use SPFT so rolling back the preloader was where I started.
The directions for rolling back the preloader are at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/r1hd-update-6-6-bootloader-roll-t3491096
In order for the roll-back procedure to work you have to have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery installed, so it's off to another page for that (the link is on the preloader rollback page as well): https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/unlock-tool-t3561333
The instructions are pretty clear and the tool is great, so I just followed the steps listed to bootloader unlock and install TWRP.
With the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed you are ready to roll back the preloader. Once again, the tool provided is great so just follow the directions. I will say though that both this and the previous tool require some input on occasion for when the phone is in a particular state, so mind your stray key-presses. If you mess up, just start over.
Now that the pre-loader is rolled back you can flash the non-Prime OS. The directions can be found at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499
This requires you to download some tools and will directly overwrite the flash to the non-Prime OS. Don't worry that it says you can't use it past 7.4.2; with the preloader rolled back it'll just overwrite the flash directly so the OS version you have installed doesn't matter.
Ironically, now that you've flashed the non-Prime OS you've lost the unlocked bootloader and TWRP because those sectors of the flash were overwritten. Luckily, the process for bootloader unlocking and installing TWRP is much easier on this OS. The instructions for this are at the same post as the one for flashing the non-Prime OS. Basically you just boot to fastboot, OEM unlock, and flash the recovery. You can root here too, if you'd like by following the included directions on the same post.
At this point I decided to do a little bit of debloating. These scripts are installed from recovery and instructions and files can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-ad-removal-debloat-block-ota-easy-t3429555
The whole process itself didn't take that long, but it did take a lot of searching and some courage to figure out and try the steps needed to do this.
I would also recommend making nandroid backups along the way and even make a system dump using SPFT before flashing the non-Prime OS. Instructions can be found here under "Dump Full ROM": https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540400
The next steps are to try to figure out what the most up-to-date version of the non-Prime OS is that I can safely install and to figure out how to do that. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated.
TLDR;

Thanks for your input, but you have gone , kinda of the long way around.
The unlock tool you linked to has the preloader roll-back built in as one that extra options.
And also ocne you have twrp installed there is no need to use spft to convert to non-prime. Just flash a ROM with twrp.
And the debloat scripts are also in the tool, but are older than the ones directly in the thread you linked.
Mine was the Prime variant, rolled it back, rooted & TWRP installed, debloated all the BLU & Amazon apps, virtually running near pure Android 6.0 -
follow this link for details
https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/modified-8-3-stock-rom-t3602672
Subsequent to the released of the modified 8.4 ROM, I downloaded to the R1 HD, make a backup of the boot/system, etc. first (caution - remove mSD card if in use, as it will get reformatted and/or wiped, corrupted data, etc. ... reinstall after everyone is up & running again) - just follow basic steps.
Boot into TWRP, factory reset for a clean & fresh install, flash modified 8.4 rom, reboot - take a 10 minute break - setup & restore from Cloud as desired. Enjoy - no bloatware & security patches up to May 2017, etc. Apps will auto-update from Play Store, once everything settled down - power down, re-insert mSD card (where my MP4 & backup pictures, etc. are stored). Reboot & tweak/optimized one's own preferred settings like display, sound, etc. and have fun.
Battery life could be better, but 2 days+ of standby with light use, mostly on WiFi - Freedompop 4G/LTE sim in slot 1 and Project Fi data-only sim in slot 2 -
... one happy camper.
Update #1 (7/2/2017) for other end users - Gravity Box working nice w. Xposed for last 2 weeks. Viper4AndroidFX installed and running smooth as well.
What does non-prime get you over the de-ad versions of prime? Could be several steps shorter.

Beginner's questions - Which ROM how to flush

Hi,
I've been reading for some hours and did not want to bother you with one more beginner's question but I prefer to ask before rather than pulling my hair off and discovering that I did something wrong. Here are my questions.
I have a Nexus 7 2012 Wifi with android v5.1.1 running on it, extremely slow.
1)To flush a new ROM I saw one movie on youtube that was using the android default bootloader, but here on the forum I read (and later learned what it means) about TWRP. Do I need to first install TWRP on my Nexus 7? can you please help me with a link to a tutorial or even better to a youtube movie on how to install it.
2) I remember a long time ago I flushed the v5 ROM by using an OTG USB Cable, I can't use an normal cable right?
3) Which ROM to choose. I'm not that picky, I guess any would be better than the current one. I read that v7 is pretty good, but there are too many ROMs and I got lost in the acronyms. I need a ROM that will run as fast as possible (at least decently). I do not need any google aps, but I read somewhere that sometimes if you choose a ROM without the gapps (I guess this is the acronym used right) then you do not get even the Google Play. I need Google play to install Chrome and a few applications for my son. (to learn a second language: Duolingo)
More than I do not need. It would be good if the battery would last longer, but it's not a problem if I need to charge it every now and then.
I learned that the ROM that I need is called grouper (wifi only).
4) OTA means over the air. Now I guess that all the rooms for android v7 are unofficial ROMs (meaning not provided by google, sorry if I got it wrong). In this case, does the OTA refers to the security patches provided by Google to patch their OS? or does it refer to the installation of a new ROM without the USB cable, directly from the internal memory
5) I do not care about the internal data, I can delete it all, but I did a factory reset of a Samsung Galaxy A10 (a more recent tablet) and I regretted it dearly, because I had forgotten the username and password that I created when I first used the device, and then I had to take it to an official Samsung repair shop to have it fixed, as it couldn't be used without the original account (username and password). I guess this is not the case for older versions. I can of course check my current Google account that I created while using this tablet for the first time. I checked the Users on the tablet, and I can't really find a Google account, but just a local account. In any case, could anyone of you confirm that if I clean all the data it shouldn't be a problem to install a new ROM afterwards.
Many thanks for your time and efforts in answering the above questions, but also to develop new cool great amazing ROMs that bring old devices back to life.
I think the easiest way to go is using Nexus Root Toolkit and Pure Nexus MM rom. Using NRT is pretty easy as long as driver works. It'll unlock bootloader and install TWRP. After installing rom install Parrot Mod and tablet will be reasonably quick way faster than stock lollipop. Thats what I have and it's still usable.

Hi,
I guess I should be doing something similar with this tutorial (ok the NRT version is newer now).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdFQtmgHC5M
And then flush the custom ROM that you were talking about the Pure Nexus MM Rom, which is not in the above video.
Do I need an OTG USB cable for that? I need to be careful and test first as the USB port connection was phisicaly tricky (I need to ensure the connection and then do not touch the USB cable anymore so that it does not disconnect). I think if I'm very careful it should be working eventually.
Many thanks
Any USB cable that allows computer to recognize Nexus 7 as a device is ok. Before doing anything make sure that full driver test is successful. Next is OEM unlock which will wipe the device, then TWRP flash and root. Then flash stock from NRT and boot.
Next download PN MM rom, copy to some directory on Nexus 7, boot into TWRP, install, boot. Repeat same with Parrot Mod (flash from TWRP). After that tablet will be usable. ROM build that I have is MTC19Z

Hey guys listen up, your gonna love this! I have a grouper too and i have it using 7.1.2 tried your methods and ended up here, its incredible if you can do these things :
1) Change your data and cache to f2fs which wipes your internal storage.
2) Install crdroid ROM from this week with june kernel.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-crdroidv3-8-3-nexus-7-2012-t3710834
3) DO NOT install GAPPs (for ultimate otherwise pico I guess but this beast is old and tired we are trying for ultimate efficiency.)
Ohh and use NRT 2.1.9 to install your select couple of apk's thats it for performance.
4) Despite all warnings try ParrotMod it works for me.
Literally many times faster than PureNexus..

Need a little direction - New Fire HD 10 to Android

My girlfriend bought a Fire 10 and now that she has opened it she is thinking her son would rather it be an Android. (He is autistic and does not deal with change well and his phone is Android but he has a dying iPad.) I found [ROM][unlocked][suez] Lineage-14.1 [26 SEP 2019] and I see this might be just what the doctor ordered but it is asking me to do a bunch of pre install items - Unlocked Bootloader - TWRP Installed. I have installed TWRP on a phone many eons ago and never had to unlock a bootloader (super early smartphone days when I used TWRP). Is there anything that gives a dummy, step by step method, on doing this Frankenstein change all from a Windows 10 PC? I have done the fastboot and ADB stuff in the past (got rid of specials and offers) so I am not squeamish with that portion of things. I do have some concerns on the link at the top to [UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire HD 10 2017 (suez) since this is pointing to *nux which I have not used in the past. Help me obi-wan you are my only hope.
This will be easy unfortunately. There is no permanent root or TWRP for the new HD 10 yet, which, BTW, is known as Maverick. The ROM you found is for an older model, Suez, which does have root and TWRP. Sorry man. You can always try to the Fire Toolbox located in the development section to change the default launcher to Nova which is much more Android looking, but that's not permanent either and is prone to switching back to Amazon's default. It's early days right now.

Fire HD 8 (8th Gen) Flash Stock ROM

Hey guys,
I was using TWRP + Lineage 15.1 ROM on my Fire HD 8 (2018 - 8th Gen) but decided to return to stock ROM and get rid of it.
As I didn't find any guidance anywhere I've tried to sideload the original stock ROM through TWRP even I didn't really think that was a good idea. I upladed the file (update-kindle-Fire_HD8_8th_Gen-PS7315_user_1958_0018354775684.bin - perhaps not the correct file anyway ) which resulted in boot loop. I now cannot access TWRP. Does anyone please have a link with instructions how to unbrick my device or even better with instructions to directly flash the stock ROM for 8th Gen please? I only keep finding links for older devices.
Many thanks guys.

It seems that the bootloader files for OS 6 (TZ and LK) are incompatible with OS 7.3.1.5. I found that you could not even shut down the tablet when it was bootlooping: holding the power button down for >30 seconds did nothing. To stop it you need to open the tablet and disconnect the battery.
You will need to copy a version of OS 6 onto a micro SD card (change the file extension from '.bin' to '.zip'). Insert the micro SD, after reconnecting the battery and putting the rear shell back on. You should be able to boot into recovery (TWRP) with the left volume button/ power button. Wipe system and data then flash the OS 6 zip.
Locate the newer thread for unlocking the HD 8/ 8th gen. tablet (amonet-3) and download the latest amonet version (currently 3.0.1) and the 'return to stock' zip, then follow the instructions in that thread to return to stock. Essentially you unzip the two downloads, merge, and run the return to stock script. From TWRP you boot the tablet into hacked fastboot mode and the script will restore stock boot and recovery images (unpatched). After a reboot you should be able to enter standard Amazon recovery mode. If you then ADB sideload the OS 7.3.1.5 software you will eventually boot into OS 7 (Pie).

@MontysEvilTwin I haven't updated mine to 7.x release but wanted to see if you have been able to successfully unlock and root on newer firmware?
I'm guessing as you said bootloader files for OS 6 (TZ and LK) are incompatible, its not going to work?

I've had no luck unlocking the Karnak (or Mustang). I think there a couple of issues. The unlock doesn't work with the OS 7.3.1.5 bootloaders, you get a bootloop. I expected this as it is only the very first version of the Karnak LK file (OS 6.3.0.0) that has the necessary vulnerability for a full unlock. However if you use a modified version of Amonet to flash the OS 7.3.1.5 PL and TZ plus the OS 6.3.0.0 LK you get a bootloop, even without unlocking and unpatched stock boot and recovery images. It may not be impossible, I am hoping that the unlock authors (@xyz` and @k4y0z) will take a look at some point.
Thank you very much @MontysEvilTwin for your response and great explanation. Opening the device, disconnecting the battery and taking all these steps just to flash the stock ROM and selling it for a few pounds is probably way more effort than what it's worth. I'll probably just sell the case and hand the device for a safe disposal. It might be perhaps worth it to create a separate topic with a step by step walkthrough to safely revert a rooted device with TWRP & custom ROM back to Stock ROM for less advanced users like me? (I appreciate what I attempted to do was a bit stupid, just saying it would be useful having this explained somewhere...)
As I'm not going to use "Karnak" any more I'd like to thank everyone here for all their contributions as you made my experience with my device significantly better and also to thank everyone who found time to answer my questions. I just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing thing and making people like me happy. :good:

As I'm not going to use "Karnak" any more I'd like to thank everyone here for all their contributions as you made my experience with my device significantly better and also to thank everyone who found time to answer my questions. I just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing thing and making people like me happy. :good:

OK, if you just want to unbrick it is quite easy. If you have the latest TWRP (you will have if you unlocked with amonet version-3 for thIs tablet) it is likely that your bootloaders are unchanged. To get out of the bootloop you can either disconnect the battery or let it run down. Then you should be able to boot into recovery. From there you can flash a backup of your previous OS, or wipe system and data and reflash a stock OS 6 update.
