<QUESTION> Proper way of resetting a Rooted Fire HD 10 2017? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a rooted Fire HD 10 2017 running on FireOS 5.6.0.0 since Christmas. Maybe I installed too many apps, not only is the space running out, the device is also running slow as well.
Therefore, I would like to to a reset and have the device rooted again.
My question is :
What are the proper steps of resetting a rooted Fire HD 10? Is it the same as a non-rooted device? ("Settings" --> "Device Options" --> "Reset to Factory Defaults"?)
or is it different for a rooted device? Anything I should watch out for?
Don't know if this matter, but I thought it might be helpful that I provide as much info as possible. I currently have "App Ops", "Shizuku Manager", "Xposed Installer" (for YouTube Adaway & YouTube Background Playback), "SuperSU" and "Google Play Store" installed.
Thank you very much for your help.
Cassie

Hi Cassie - I think I can help!
I've had to do this a few times now myself on my own rooted HD 10. You can't just reset the tablet from settings of you've rooted because you've actually changed the system files and while your user files and settings will be cleared and reset, any apps you disabled or any other big changes will stick (it took an hour and a half on the phone with an very nice Amazon customer support associate in Jamaica to find this out, lol).
Here's the best way that I know to reset your device:
1. Go to the Amazon support site and download the stock Fire HD 10 system files.
Note: Amazon updated their site a couple of days ago and now have the latest version of FireOS (5.6.2.0) posted. It's ok to upgrade/reinstall from an older version or the current version to the current version, but supposedly not ever good to go backwards (though, I just did this on my HD 8 tablet and had no problem, but ?* ...
If you need an older version of the OS, I believe someone posted a link with an archive where they had saved OS files the other day, but I just spent ten minutes trying to find it on this messy site and had no luck. :-/ If you need the most recent version before the current however, I have it and can throw it on G-Drive if you want.

}
2. Make sure you have ADB and the Kindle/Fire USB drivers installed on your machine. You can get those from Amazon at the link provided here. (Actually, you may not need the drivers, but you do need ADB. I believe those drivers come with ADB. If you need help figuring out how to setup/start an ADB command prompt on your computer do a quick Google search or look on here or on that linked Amazon support site.)
3. Turn your HD 10 off and reboot it into recovery mode by holding down the power button and volume up button (the right volume button, closer to the power button/facing inward). Release as soon as you see the white Amazon logo. Helpful hint: to enter recovery mode on the HD 10 you must hold these buttons down from a completely powered-off state. On an HD 8 you can just hold the buttons down at any time regardless of the current power state.
4. Use the volume up key to move down to the second menu choice: "apply update from ADB." Press the power button to choose this option.
5. Connect your HD 10 to your computer with your USB cable. In your ADB command prompt (on your computer) type "ADB sideload" and then a space, and then the location of the recovery .zip file you downloaded from Amazon (in quotes) and press enter. So it will look something like this:
adb sideload "C:/Users/Cassie/Desktop/Amazon file.zip"
That's it! The system will load the stock OS files onto your tablet and will reboot and you should be good to go! Hopefully this is helpful!

Sorry, I've been offline for a few days. Hopefully you figured out what you needed and everything went smoothly I can't answer what the difference is between those two links for version 5.6.0.0 that Dan provided (thanks for doing that!). If you want the latest version of the OS (with 'Show Mode'), the link in my post to the Amazon support site has the file you need. Here is a direct download link.
Let us know if you have any trouble.

Hi Richard,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help and to reply. You didn't have to do all those, but you did, and I really appreciate it! Thank you very much!
Your instructions are very clear, I will give it a try tomorrow. I will start backing up all my data tonight first.
I have 2 more questions to ask if it's not too much:
1) Do you know if the newest 5.6.2.0 can still be rooted if I were to upgrade to that one? I read 5.6.1.0 can for sure be rooted still, do you have any experience rooting 5.6.2.0?
2) If not (or unknown yet), in your opinion, what do you think it's the best firmware to be used on our Fire HD 10 in terms of experience (bugs, smoothness, crashes, ram management..etc)? What do you personally use?
Thank you very much again for time & help! I really appreciate it!

Hi there! Sorry for the delay - I've been offline for a few days. Hope everything went well/is going well! Happy to help if you still need any assistance.
To answer your two questions:
1) Do you know if the newest 5.6.2.0 can still be rooted if I were to upgrade to that one? I read 5.6.1.0 can for sure be rooted still, do you have any experience rooting 5.6.2.0?
- Yes! the current/newest version (5.6.2.0) can still be rooted. This is the guide I have used (several times now) to root my HD 10.​
2) If not (or unknown yet), in your opinion, what do you think it's the best firmware to be used on our Fire HD 10 in terms of experience (bugs, smoothness, crashes, ram management..etc)? What do you personally use?
- I definitely think the newest firmware is the best. Show Mode isn't really that amazing, but overall the latest firmware seems to be smooth.​
Beyond rooting, here are additional updates/enhancements/tweaks that I've found very worthwhile when setting up my HD 10 (gathered from the wonderfully bright and helpful people on this forum - just my own order/ and experience - shared openly with everyone in case someone might find this helpful):
Install Google Play Store.
Install a better launcher! I think some of the top/cleanest/currently most popular launchers are Nova Launcher, Action Launcher, Evie Launcher. If you want a "stock Android" experience there is the Google launcher. And also the Microsoft Launcher surprisingly isn't that bad/is well organized and clean overall. I use Action Launcher. Once you install your new launcher, and open it at least one time, then you can go in and disable Amazon bloatware and disable/freeze the stock FireOS "Home Pages" launcher, which will allow you to then choose your new launcher as the default launcher in settings. You have to open the new launcher at least once however and then freeze the Fire launcher/Home Pages.
Disable/freeze Amazon software you don't need or won't use. This is the thread I used to learn how to do this. But basically all you need is this spreadsheet. You can filter out all the programs you don't want to touch and then just copy and paste column B into your "ADB" command prompt/shell terminal (on your PC/Mac) and it will quickly disable them. If you intend to keep and use Alexa, be sure to read the descriptions and not disable any programs that she needs to run. Additionally, here is a new thread with an updated guide to disabling stock software - may be a better option, but I haven't tried it yet.
your
Fix widgets in new launcher.
If your HD 10 has those annoying "Special Offer" ads on the lock screen, you can follow the instructions I wrote here to quickly remove them for good.
Install "Xposed Framework" - this allows you to have even more control over your device/various enhancements.
You can install Google Assistant if you want (I have it on mine and it works simultaneously with Alexa with no issues!).
Finally, I'd recommend some of the memory/RAM enhancement apps discussed here.
Other Helpful Tablet Setup Mentionables:
This is a good (root-required) app to quickly freeze and unfreeze apps.
This is my favorite file manager. And the root add-on. My other favorite file manager.
Lucky Patcher can be helpful to bring out extra features in an app, or to get rid of pesky advertisements.. If you're feeling completely unethical, you can get many cracked/free apps from Mobilism.org (you have to sign up to log in first).
You can generally trust that apps/apks downloaded from APK Mirror are safe/free from viruses.
If you ever need to test a downloaded file/app to make sure it is clean/safe, Virus Total is a very helpful, quick service that will scan your file and look for malware across many databases.

[HOWTO] Upgrading to insanity ROM

I have a regular Samsung Galaxy S. Well I did have until today, and I ventured through the installation of the insanity ROM. By regular, I mean very, very, very, ordinary.. I’ve not even root’ed by Galaxy. So to get to a nice stable working insanity Galaxy S, I performed the following steps :
What is insanity?
insanity ROM is a basic, small, light-weight ROM that focuses on core functionality and speed. It is <70 Mb of installation if your phone is already root’ed. It also supports tweaking the DPI so that you can have almost any resolution you like (depending on the screensize of your phone).
Safety Copy
As I’m fairly cautious I wanted to make sure I had a copy of my data, and had the ability to “go back” to the stock phone.
To get a copy of the data, I installed the Samsung USB drivers (my other machine uses Kies, but it’s not powered up right now). You can get the drivers part way down this page :
EZBase Downloads or the direct link:
Samsung USB Drivers (x64)
Samsung USB Drivers (x86)​
After installing the driver (no reboot required) I then go in to the phone settings and turn on USB debugging, and plug the phone in. It then appears as a Windows device. After that I copied all of the files from my device to a temporary place on TWO of my desktop computers!
Going back to the beginning .. well I hope I never have to, but if I do, I already downloaded the original ROM from : Stock Firmwares for Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Thread - This is my base release : I9000BUJG2|2.1|2010 July
EZBase
This is the forum page for EZBase
Basically I followed in the instructions in the PDF which is located off that page. You download EZOdin, EZBase.pit, and the three files ending in MD5. One of those is 250Mb+ so it takes a bit of time. You then have to restart your phone in download mode… to do that power off the device, press the volume down button, the home button, and the power button.. then wait a few seconds for the splash screen to appear and let go of the buttons. The phone should go in to Download mode.
Once you’re there, run EZOdin, per the guide in the above link, and maybe 5 minutes later all will be rebooted. Your phone will already probably look considerably different! At this point you can plug the phone back in, and copy the insanity zip file to the /sd folder… ready for the next step.
During the installation of EZBase it might do a few quirky half reboots, that’s all fine, it’s installing a new kernel and mode, and it’s meant to behave a bit oddly whilst doing that !
Recovery mode to get the insanity ROM installed
You then have to restart your phone in Recovery Mode. This time it’s volume up, home, and the power on button.. for a few seconds, then when the logo appears, let go of the buttons. Once in recovery mode follow the screenshots on the insanity forum page for the steps to follow, and in a few minutes you’ll have a rebooted phone with insanity installed.
Tweaks / Post Installation
Unlike many ROMs out there the insanity ROM is very small – less than 70 Mb. So there are quite a few apps which aren’t installed any longer, but, you can get them back with nitrality. Here is a run down of the things that I’ve done so far :
I checked my gallery and my music – it’s all still there ?
Open nitrality (you might get warned about it taking super user access, just accept that). Go to UI Tweaks and then tick the box saying “Application scaling”. Old applications will now hopefully behave nicely.
Whilst still in the UI Tweaks section I changed Popup Animations and Transition Animations to fast, and checked the box next to Fancy Input Animations
Now in nitrality, open Applications (and wait a little bit if it is the first time you have run it). Scroll down to near the bottom and install the Voice Recorder. It’ll record all your incoming and outgoing phone calls by default !
Tweak what gets recorded.. because you might not be quite as paranoid as peoples say! Swipe the home screen downwards, and the phone will appear (or open Applications). Click Recording Settings, and then tick the boxes next to either incoming or outgoing, or whatever you prefer.
Whilst in the Recording Setting page consider turning off the “Disable increasing ringtone” by ticking the box at the top.
Customise swipe bindings by going into Preferences from the home screen, and click on Action Bindings. By default Swipe Down is set to “Open Dialer” as an example.
Install the Gmail addon if required, from the insanity page.. you have to restart (one more time) into Recovery Mode to do that … but you don’t have to do some complicated finger pressing any more. Hold the power button down as though you are going to switch it off, and choose Recovery in the list.
I then dragged and dropped the following to the home screen :
- Phone
- Gallery
- Camera
- Gmail (On launching Gmail I had to set up my account again but that’s fine.)
Next up for me, is to install :
My To Do List manager
My Flickr Uploader
And I want to test GPS, when I go outside (but it’s cold today)
Maybe now will be the time when I investigate some other apps that do those jobs!
I have to say there was a bit of a hairy moment or 5, when it appears that I was touched by the 50% on Cell Standby "bug".. I got that sorted thanks to Nitr8 and TrOjAnUK. I think it was a mixture of turning off HSPDA, and the new XXJVK modem suggested by TrOjAnUK, and, the in-and-out-of-air-plane-mode. Have a look at the battery post for more details.

I think it's important to "write down" what I did... otherwise by tomorrow I'll have forgotten almost completely.
The only fault I see with this is the fact you should really have added [HOWTO:] in the thread topic..
Might be worth asking a mod to do it if you are unable to edit it now.. apart from that, well done great work.. now go and enjoy your phone thats an order
TrOjAn
D'oh.. Okay, I've done it (Advanced Edit FTW)
That's an amazing way to enter and present oneself to a forum.
Many many thanks, I as many come from nitr8's thread, and I'm using your post to help me help my friends (so I don't have to carry on all the work and they also learn a bit).
Naturally you had to be friends with nitr8! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mumps, much appreciated. If you use the thread, let me know if there are any adjustments that can/should be made, and I'll update it gladly.
Well done guy. Maybe you should hang out in the insanity thread and abuse people that claim to be new and are just being lazy
Nice; If I'd read through things here and on the main thread properly yesterday (now THERE's a tip!!!), I would have not worn a hole in my screen trying to sync my contacts!
About updating Insanity ROM
I am Sorry if my question is stupid but I didn't find answer from the forum...
I got a SGS with Insanity 0.6.5 version installed in it (previous owner did this). I would like to install the newest version. Since this already is rooted phone can I just follow the following instructions?:
1.Backup all your data, a CWM backup is nice to have
2.Copy Insanity ROM to internal SD Card
3.Reboot into Recovery Mode
4.Flash insanity via CWM ALL data will be wiped
5.Full Reboot - Wait for phone to start up
6.Reboot into Recovery Mode
7.Install Customizations via CWM - Battery Icon Mods & Apps
8.Reboot
Or do I need the install the EZBase etc?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Nook CM7-on-SD

I'm trying to load up the gapps ZIP, to get Market and my Google apps going.
1. The whole "press and hold for X seconds" on the power/n buttons ain't working too well for me. The thing keeps just loading normally or rebooting cuz I hold power too long or something).
2. When inside CM7, and I choose Reboot/REcovery, it actually skips the SD entirely and loads me into the original B&N on the machine itself. Derp.
I followed these instructions for installing CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
using the update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip as recommended by quinxy here:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
So, any tips or ideas on how to get into recovery (it's a CM7 install on SD) so I can put in Market and GAPPS?
I also noticed that when it boots, I'm in some black screen always and have to click power twice to actually get the CM7 desktop to show. Whassup with that?
edit: also, is there harm with installing CWM from ROM manager in this CM7 SD card install? Will it install it to the SD card, or to the Nook Color itself? Will it dork things up? I want to keep them separate (B&N on the machine, CM7/GB on the SD). Is this the reason I can't get into any kind of recovery mode, because I don't have CWM installed?
Which build of CM7 are you running? The more recent nightlies made the reboot into recovery process easier.

I'm really not sure -- I grabbed the one I was told to do in the post at:
http://quinxy.com/2011/04/01/comple...on-the-nook-color/comment-page-3/#comment-944
with a direct link to update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip, whatever that is. The file is here:
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/get/update-cm-7.0.0-encore-signed.zip
Since creating an install to SD is so brain-dead simple, I'm happy to switch over to something else if needed.
What about CWM? If I go to ROM manager, it tells me CWM isn't installed. If I install it - is it putting it to the SD or the machine itself? I'd really love to keep it internally clean, all on the SD.
You should be running at least the latest stable build, 7.0.3. If you're more daring, like me, you can install the latest nightly, which may in the 100's now (I haven't checked in a couple days).
I honestly haven't done anything in ROM manager yet so I can't offer any advice there. I've had problems with it and don't care eenough to troubleshoot. I use Win32imager to make img backups of my install.

I just went here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore
and grabbed the top one, cm_encore_full-106.zip, and it is installing to the card now, we'll give it a shot and see how well it works. I'm *assuming* these are all CM7.
edit: I got a different boot splash screen than the previous one, so that's a bonus. Nicer boot animation. Crossing fingers that it doesn't start up in sleep mode like the other build package did (always had to toggle power button to get the desktop to show after a boot). Yar, desktop!
OK, now to see if this thing will reboot into recovery....
Yup, that should do it. Didn't realize we were up to 106 already!! CM7 is short for Cyanogen mod 7, so yes, they're all CM7 See how 106 works for you.

You're a genius - it was a crappy build of CM7 I must've flashed first. The latest did the trick. Nice boot anim, came right to desktop, rebooting into recovery picked up the gapps zip and installed it.
Thanks for the advice. I'll make a restore point with Win32Image thingy now. Thanks again for your help.
You're welcome. Make sure to "thank" me. I just started posting here and wouldnt mind a little color on my thank o meter
I'm not a genuis, that would be the guys who made cm7. I'm nowhere near that smart.

Ha! I have no idea, like I said, I just started posting here so I have no idea how to do it either. Maybe someone smarter than I will post with the answer.
Well, GAPPS is installed -sort of- but now stuck at "SETUP WIZARD" at the top whenever I boot the nook. Softkeys are not responding, the only thing that does is the notifications pulldown. No desktop, just a big fat "SETUP WIZARD" at the top, and black screen.
Grrr.
edit: Rebooted it, and now have a nice normal set up screen. Yay.
Maybe an obvious question, but did you make sure to setup your WiFi connection before installing the gapps? One time I was in a hurry and installed gapps before setting up my WiFi and I had to start over
I did that twice already, but even with setting up wifi, i got that setup wizard glitch (which went away when I simply rebooted). It looked a lot like a set up screen for gapps that didn't render quite right. It's probably an artifact from being on the most bleeding edge nightly....
it's all up and running though, and looking very nice. love the fact it's all on the SD - so very, very nice.
I'm glad you got it working. I think I got that weird gapps glitch one time but yeah, it goes away after a reboot.
I too LOVE that it's all off the SD card. My daughter (3) likes a couple apps that I have on the Barnes and Noble interface, so about once a week I boot into that (its horrid by the way once you've been running CM7 for a while). I'm going to be helping a friend get CM7 on his viewsonic g tablet this weekend and thats a full flash to main memory install. Makes me a bit more neervous but it looks pretty straight forward.
By the way, I highly recommend Launcher Pro, with the unlocker (a couple bucks). it makes everything soooooo smooth.
I use LP on my EVO (running rooted w/a cleaned up Sense ROM w/o any sprint bloat). I love it. I find GO launcher, ADW and LP all have very similar features.
I have a few paid apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Beautiful Widgets) - that I bought with the Evo and are working here, was able to DL and install them from Market - so that's handy.
Although "Move to SD Card" seems sorta "huh, wha?" now.
I haven't overclocked my nook yet - think it's something I should do? I read about some kernel tweak to kick it up to 1.1GHz. The final thing I need to do is get Netflix working on here, then I'll be content.
I'm running LP on my HTC Desire and its awesome. not necessarily better than sense, but its fresh, like a new phone almost.
I have NO idea what "move to SD card" does if you're running on an SD card. I'd love an explanation from someone on that.
I can help you get Netflix going if you need help. That's my number one favorite app on my Nook Color. That alone made installing CM7 worth it. Nothing better than sitting in bed at night watching movies on it.
Oh yeah, under Cyanegon Mod settings, find tablet tweaks (careful, dragons ahead), and you can easily overclock the CPU to 925 MHz right there. I don't know a way of setting it higher while running off an SD card. If you figure it out, point me in the right direction please?

I wouldn't mind some help getting Netflix going, if you would please. I noticed it's not even appearing in the Market (I think Market changed a bit to filter out unsupported apps now).
As far as moving to SD card - I did notice a few glitches. Things like moving Facebook caused Facebook's contact/feed syncing to break and vanish. I suppose anything that needs background processes are going to be flakey. There were other ones, like Word for Friends that also glitched on me. I just moved them back to "phone" and they worked again.
Not really pressed for space - but yeah, minor bugs there.
So....netflix?
Found an APK I was able to side-load, but Netflix is all chipmunk-y!
Someone has a download link to the apk file on these forums. Look around for that. Tell your Nook to install third party apps. Install the program after downloading that.
Install Root Explorer and allow it super user access. Open up the system folder and mount r/w. Open up build.prop in the text editor. Change the following lines to match this.
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
The first one normally says NookColor and the seconds says bn.
save the file and restart the device. Netflix should work like a charm, and best of all, the Android Marketplace does not break. Although the market will think you have an HTC Vision
Modifying the build.prop file fixes the chimpmonk problem by the way.

For some reason, Root Explorer (and SU) don't think it's rooted. I see SU installed and when I launch it, it tries to update itself, and says something like "failed to update, probably from not being rooted - zip put on sd card, flash it in recovery."
Root Explorer doesn't give me my usual option to flip to R/W mode and edit files. I tried installing Busybox, too - and that thing complained about not being rooted as well.
So, dunno why - but this doesn't seem to think it's rooted. Odd, considering it all exists on the SD card.
Any clues?

[ROM]We're Back! [01/17/12] 3.2.1 Honeylicious Flash Glass HC Stock Based Kernel

Honeylicious 3.2.1 Flash Glass​
Now that the Holidays are over, and worked has slowed down somewhat, I have more time to spend with the thread.
Honeylicious was created for myself, by myself so I wouldn't have to rely on someone else's work.
I got sick of the "stick figure UI" that Google continues to produce, so what you'll see here is something more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so if it doesn't please you, you can download
The UI has had a "glass" filter applied through Photoshop to give it a "glassy" finish.
You won't see any custom kernels here, nor revision updates, as these are all tried, tested, and true final releases.
What you will find is one of the fastest, smoothest, most dependable, and stable stock kernel based ROMs out anywhere for the Acer Iconia A500.!
Please read the "Install Instructions" carefully, and/or watch the Video Tutorial on how to flash correctly.
The 3.2.1 Youtube Fix is included in this Rom thanks to Civato.
Special thanks to Civato @ XDA for all his help in getting the camera working properly with this ROM, for the original apks he had given me, which have been changed immensely since that time, although there are a few png files that still remain the same, and all the other help and inspiration he has provided.
When you purchase a new automobile, it doesn't come with free driving lessons, neither does Android, and this ROM doesn't either. There are a few things you'll need to know before flashing a ROM.
If you're unsure of what you need to do, or simply can't follow the explicit directions in the "Install Instructions" (video included), take this link first to get you started. Click Here for the wealth of information in the A500 Wiki.
If you've previously flashed another one of Thor's ROMs with his custom kernel that he refuses to release the source code for, you may have problems flashing other ROMs until you COMPLETELY WIPE AND FORMAT YOUR SDCard. My personal opinion on this matter is, "if you have nothing to hide, then why are you hiding it?"
DO NOT USE ANY MODS FROM ANY OTHER VERSION OF HONEYLICIOUS AS YOU WILL BE MODIFYING YOUR SYSTEMUI.APK, AND FRAMEWORK-RES.APK WITH AN INCORRECT VERSION AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS!
Now, onto the ROM:
It's built on Stock PB G100W 4.010.05_COM_GEN1 found HERE: Stock base (stock kernel), Honeylicious sweet, rooted, tweaked for speed and stability, superuser and Busybox installed, and Bootloader.blob removed, that you've come to know for it's rock solid dependability, stability, and the most speed you can eek out of a stock based ROM, with an Icey Glass Finish!
What Works:
EVERYTHING!
What Doesn't Work:
NOTHING!
This ROM has had all of the useless stock apps that are constantly in "Running Services" ripped out, to give extra battery life, as well as speed. You'll notice in the "Running Apps Settings" screen shot that only two other apps are running (besides "Settings", and "Screen Shot It" which were needed to take the screen shot).
Apps Ripped Out:
Game Loft
Link to Facebook
Music
Nemo Player
Social Jogger
Sound Hound
Zineo
Replace Ripped out Glass App Pack HERE:All apps in one zip file (unzip main file to find individual apps in their own CWM Flashable zip files). So you can add in whatever you like to slow your system down once again.
What Extra Apps are included:
System Apps Added
Polaris Office
Extra Data Apps Added: (you may uninstall through "Settings", "Applications", "Manage Applications").
Avast Android Mobile Security (you need to open it once in applications to setup your preferences for it to run)
SDRescan
AdFree
HD File Explorer
HD BackGammon
HD Solitaire
HD Spades
Bluetooth File Transfer
Dolphin HD Browser
Fancy Widgets (free version)
Shake Calculator
Adobe Flash 11.1
Google Voice
Fancy Widgets has a battery meter included in the Weather/Clock widget. Go into Fancy Widget settings, "clock settings", "extra information", and tick "show battery level" for 1% increment battery levels. Fancy Widgets is the Weather/Clock widget shown in the screen shots, both weather and clock are "MIUI Inspired" style selected in "appearance" settings.
What's Different:
Ice Blue Glass Themed Rom
Five Extra Ice Blue Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
Five Extra Themed Wallpapers located in the stock Google Wallpapers.
ICS Fonts
ICS Clocks
GPS Tweaks have been added to ensure rapid GPS Lock!
Latest Version of Superuser, and binaries.
All the goodness that 3.2.1 brings with it including the Newest Market. As you can see from the running applications Screen Shot there are only two running apps (aside from "settings", and "ScreenShotIt" which needed to be running to take the screen shot.
If you choose not to follow the explicit Install Instructions, not only do you do so at your own risk, I don't want to hear any whining about ANYTHING not working correctly, and post your questions HERE!
This ROM has been tested EXTENSIVELY with absolutely no problems or glitches whatsoever (hence "final release").
Normal disclaimer about how flashing a rom can be dangerous for your Tablet, blah, blah, blah. Please always perform a backup before flashing this ROM. If you some how screw the pooch, consider it "Pilot Error", and I am not responsible.
If you want to flash another kernel with this ROM, you do so at your own risk. I have no idea who's kernel will work with this ROM. If you do choose to flash a custom kernel with this ROM, please direct all questions regarding problems you are experiencing in the thread that you got your kernel from, as they will not be answered here.
If you are having problems with certain apps, remember this is a Stock Based Rom, so please direct your questions regarding said app to the developer of the app.
I took much of my own time and effort building this ROM, typing up instructions, and creating the install video. If you ask a question in this thread that has OBVIOUSLY already been answered in this OP, the only reply you will receive from me is this:

@kjy2010 - First class job of presentation. I refuse to believe that anybody can screw up flashing your ROM after your ultra clear directions. I'm currently running Kekinash's 3.2 near stock rom but I like the look of your effort and I will flash it to my A500 as soon as I've got a spare minute. Once more thank you.

You're very kind I'll give it some thought. I did just complete a small ICS anim, more for fun than anything else but you might like to look at it. I won't bother you by attaching it here but my good friend JaeKar99 has just added a preview gif of my anim to my post which is on the last page of the thread "Publish your A500 Boot Anims......." in the Themes & Apps section.
OP - Thought I'd throw this one at you, it's only a re-hash of what I did before but more specific to your rom. I have to admit that I don't have a single ounce of artistic ability in my body so what you get from me is always pretty simple and uncomplicated. I fear that it might not be "high tech" enough for your needs but worse case it costs neither of us anything and may give you some ideas.
Latest thought.....Should it be of interest to you then the "speed" and "display period" could easily be adjusted to your requirements.
ah, nice work kjy.
No problem on taking it apart and giving it your own twist.
That is why it is there for.
Don't forget it is BigDX is the one that did start this Modding,I changed an modded the ICS stuff into it so it worked on the A500.
I also got settings icones but didn't use them because I think it makes the settings menu out of balance.
If you want some stuff let me know.
3g USB
Hi all, I'm newbie with Iconia A500, I have 16gb wi-fi model, and I want to know if this rom supports 3g USB modem?
I want to know too if can I backup the original ROM before personalize my tablet for don't lose warranty and to recover them if necessary?
Thanks
Remove apps before flash
hi, kjy2010,
As you know, I'm very proud of your previous ROM, which I've flashed before. As I have Quickoffice installed, could be a problem if I remove the Polaris Office apk within the zip file (without winzipping it), before flashing this ROM?
Thanks!

First, you have to have root access, and CWM installed to flash a ROM. There are plenty of threads in this forum on the subject, please use the search function. They will guide you through root, CWM, and backup.
Second, some people have reported success using Civato's 3gmodem patch located in his thread.
Please take these other questions to the appropriate threads, not here

Fresh install after following the instructions above. The only apps i have installed from the Market are Busybox and Busybox Pro.
When I try to install Busybox it tells me 'There seems to be a problem with some of the utilities needed to install busybox'. Any suggestions anyone?

(Guided) LeTV LeEco Le 1 Pro (US Version) X800 TWRP Recovery, Root

The LeTV LeEco Le 1 Pro is an excellent phone that comes at a very low price. Some retailers are selling the phone for approx. £150. However, the phone does come with a few problems.
The phone comes bundled with an old YouTube app which refuses to update to the latest version. The phone has malware where apps are installed in the background and ads are served in the Chrome browser.
At the time of writing there was no official ROM available. Now a official ROM has been released. It can be found in this post. Installing the official ROM is the easiest way to fix the malware and app problems with the phone.
The TrustGo App from the Google Play store pointed out that the Ant Keyboard bundled app contained the malware. The YouTube problem can be fixed by uninstalling the bundled YouTube and installing the latest YouTube from the Google Play Store.
The phone had to be rooted to remove the YouTube and the malware app Ant Keyboard.
The following instructions will root the LeTV Le 1 Pro USA version only. However, rooting can brick your phone, so if you do go ahead it will be your responsiblity. Rooting also invalidates the warranty of the phone. You will also be able to unroot your phone at a later date and reinstate your warranty.
The following assumes that you are using Windows 10.
Rooting the LeTV Le 1 Pro USA Version
Install TWRP
TWRP will allow to root the phone. First it needs to be installed.
In order to install TWRP, you need to connect the phone to the PC
Lets prepare the PC before we connect it
Install Java JDK 8 using Chocolatey
Open an administrator command prompt
Type cmd in the search, right click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
Copy and paste the following code into the administrative command prompt window to install chocolately
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
Install and configure JDK 8 by pasting the following code into the administrative command prompt window.choco install jdk8
Download, install and configure android studio using the defaults in the setup
Download Android Studio
Launch setup and accept the defaults
In the final screen select lanuch Android Studio and then finish
Choose the configure dropdown and then choose SDK manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the SDK manager, check the Google USB Driver from the SDK Tools tab and choose OK
android sdk manager google usb driver
Close the administrative command prompt and then open a new administrative command prompt and type adb. You should see the adb command returning help. This means that adb driver is installed and ready to go.
Download the latest version of TWRP onto the PC using this link
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img
Now it is time to prepare the phone before we connect it to our already prepared PC. If your phone does not boot into android then you can skip the whole of this #4 section and move on to #5 (TWRP) section below.
Go to settings and then about on your phone. Unlock developer options by touching the build number several times.
Android : Settings -> About
Go to settings, developer options and enable USB debugging

Android enable USB debugging
In the notification bar click on touch for USB options and ensure that MTP is selected

Android USB Options
Connect the phone to the PC
In an administrative prompt check the phone is connected correctly by typing
adb devices
You should see a device under adb devices
Download SuperSU and use the file manager to put in the root directory of the phone
Lets flash TWRP into the phone. You should not lose any data, but if you have data on the phone you should make a backup just in case.
We need to boot into fastboot. On the PC, open an administrative command prompt and type
adb reboot bootloader
If your device does not boot into android, you can go into fastboot by switching off your phone, hold the down volume key and then press the power button.
Once in fastboot you should see a small picture of a penguin in the middle of the screen. To check that the phone is connected, in the administrative command prompt type
fastboot devices
You should see your device listed
In the administrative command prompt make sure you are in the directory of the recovery.img file and type the following
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once the recovery is flashed type the following and hold the up volume key to restart in recovery
fastboot reboot
You should now be in TWRP. In TWRP there may be an option advanced or settings to install SuperSU. If the option is not there use install to install SuperSU (downloaded earlier) from the root of the phone storage.
Once installed you can reboot into android and following the instructions in the SuperSU app.
Once the installation is complete download the RootChecker app from the Google Play store and check if the device has been rooted.
Fixing the problems with YouTube and removing the malware
Install Easy Uninstaller, Stubborn Trojan Killer and Malwarebytes Anti-Virus from the Google Play Store.
Uninstall YouTube and Ant Keyboard. I uninstalled Cantonese Keyboard Language and Mii Browser as well as I was not using these. If you start getting errors, simply reboot your device.
Download and install the YouTube app from the Google Play Store.
Run the Stubborn Trojan Killer and remove any found trojans.
Run the Malwarebytes Anti-Virus and remove any found viruses. Run the privacy scanner and follow the recommendations.
Once you have successfully completed the above steps then your device should be malware free and completely usable.
Very nice job. Newbies friendly rooting guide. I think you must add another option in the poll : CM12.1 cooked by Betahydri. It's a fully functional ROM (only IR remote and DT2W don't work yet) for everyday use.

Please also provide the links to the TWRP and the Super SU. Thanks

If you see CE0560 In the back of the phone, that means you have the international version.
For the TWRP, download Le1Pro_US_TWRP_3.0.2-0_CUOCO92.7z
For Root, download SuperSu-V2.76
Thank you very much. Mine does have that on the rear. This is my second le1 pro the first I hate bricked trying to root it and install recovery. So I have been scared to try this one without knowing which model it is. Do you know if there is a custom ROM or even better asop or CM room available for the international version.
Thanks for your help.

You can fix your first bricked phone from HERE.
To be honest, I have tried only two Roms
1- Clean Stock Rom, it's clean of all malwares and virus that came with the Chinese resellers Rom, its very stable, good battery life. only the double tape to wake up & color mod doesn't work, but easy to fix HERE, (IMPORTANT you need to have Stock recovery to flash the Clean Rom or to modify a file in the Zip archive of the Rom to work with TWRP).
2- CM12.1 ROM by BetaHydri, a great Rom very stable only Ir Blaster doesn't work for now. The best choice so far.
3- Other Roms CUOCO92 5.5.014S but I have never used it.
Thank you so much, worked a treat.
Now I have TWRP, CM and super su.
Thanks for all your efforts.
You should also try betahydri CM 12.1 I have it on my phone for about 3 months and runs great , no bugs , and the battery performance is the same.
Hi.
After brick I've rescued my letv le1 x800 Pro US and I flash Cuoco92 rom. I used this rom and it works very fine. XD XD
Maybe I am not looking well enough, but I did not see the TWRP link in your post.
Next to that I installed the Android Studio. But the SDK tabs in the SDK section are disabled with me. It also says that "Android SDK location should not contain whitespace, as this can cause problems with the NDK tool" as a warning. Could this be related to the fact that the tabs are disabled?
the only way to root this phone is by cuocco92 method, there is no other way

Hisense 43A6H Google tv rootable?

I'm about to buy this TV is it rootable?
Hisense 43A6H Google tv rootable?
Technically speaking anything that runs on android can achieve root access. But I think you’re asking if there’s active development. I recently bought a Hisense 65” U6h myself, and there is no development that I have found . If all you need is root, try to get your hands on the stock boot.img from the factory rom. If there’s any updates for your model download it on the computer extract the boot.img and then copy it to a usb drive plug the drive into your tv install magisk apk and use the boot.img on the flash drive to do the patch. Would you mind if I ask what you are trying to accomplish with root access?
well I'm actually trying to remove system apps the easy way by using Mi Explorer and improve system performance and free up some internal storage space so I have enough room to play morrowind by the way sorry for the no spaces I'm not really sure how to use this remote control microphone on my Hisense 43a6h Google TV. honestly there's a lot more stuff I want to do with it as well though like using Viper for Android and among other things like my God VPN repeater hotspot. thanks

Please follow the below instructions to update your TVs Firmware.
Download the ZIP file from the above link.
1. Follow the link above and download the zip file. The file is compressed, use a built-in or downloaded (i.e. Winzip) unzipping software to view the zip file contents.
a. Locate the .pkg file inside the .zip.
b. Copy the file xxxx.pkg to the root level of a USB stick formatted as FAT32.
c. Safely Eject the USB from your PC.
2. With TV powered on, Insert the USB stick into the TVs USB port. If the TV has both white and blue USB ports, use one of the white USB 2.0 ones.
3. If the TV displays the USB Media Device prompt after sensing the USB is inserted, just cancel or lose the box.
4. Enter the TV menu and navigate along this menu path [MENU button] > Settings > System > About > Upgrade > Upgrade by USB
5. The TV will respond confirming that an update file is found, and provides 2 options. Select Reboot.
6. The TV will take a few minutes to apply the update and will reboot once the update is complete.

Hey. I’m so sorry about the delayed reply I haven’t been on the forum too often lately. I’m not too familiar with the pkg compression personally. If you were able to pull that boot.img you should be able to just use that in magisk as the boot image to patch. I’ll log in my computer soon and try to download it and see what happens on my Linux system. How did you get that firmware file from them, what did you ask? I might just end up doing the same lol. I have been using adb to remove things such as google tv home launcher replaced with premium projectivy

Mine is the U6h but is essentially the same. For these purposes at least. The main difference between the two is a different type of panel .
I wonder if you have the blinking power light issue like I do after using adb to fully remove google home launcher. I took a sharp knife and one of those square rubber feet for furniture and cut it down to size and put it on top of that light. I’d rather do that than have the stock launcher even having a chance of re installing itself
Wow cool which launcher are you using? Whats the stock launcher filename? I'm going to try to unlock the bootloader soon then I guess I'll learn how to dump the whole os and dump the boot.img I guess idk what im doing but ive done this before with mtk devices just not a tv.

yeah dumping/compiling is above my skill set. The launcher I use is Projectivy. I paid for the premium version to support the dev because I really like it, but the only feature premium adds is being able to choose a wallpaper from storage. Also the package name is going to always be listed below the name of the app when you are in settings>apps> highlighted app...... google tv launcher I removed with adb shell and command adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx if you end up disabling the google launcher I highly recommend also disabling set up wizard afterwards. Otherwise, the app will re-download and you will be playing whack a mole.
I just tried disabling the launcherx and it disabled the SETTINGS button on the remote which is a deal breaker. How do I fix this? I like using Nova Launcher instead of the stock launcher.
Hello good sir.
@TheMadScientist Hello good day mate. ;p So do u know how to get this working on google tv? I disabled the launcherx and it disabled the settings menu as well.
Thanks

Not really. When I looked into them was when they really started hitting the market. I had one of the 55 inch. But got rid of it pretty quick once I got my samsung
@TheMadScientist I plugged in my male to male usb and it never got detected plus sp flash tool i had isnt compatible with MT9612 MEDIATEK CHIP. Can u give some android 11 usb adb google tv advice? Is the mt9612 emmc or nand?
I got the bootloader unlocked but no root yet.
