Hello, can someone tell me what I need to build Lineage OS for the Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation? The Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation is a unsupported device. What do I need to do to get it supported? I'm looking at building just a unofficial version for myself.
Thanks

It is very difficult since there is no ROM for MT8163.
First you should start by extracting the device tree and the vendor blobs ..
Ok that's what I needed it is a starting point I will get on that!
Thanks
After I get the blobs then?
Thanks

I'm going to be sincere with you. I was just like you, I wanted to compile a ROM for MT8163 but after reading what had to be done, I decided not to try it, its very difficult..
If you really want help, @diplomatic will help you more than me.
I would really appreciate an LOS version for the 8th gen Kindle 8 HD. Would donate.
ROM?

What ROM will work with Fire 8 8th gen? I haven't been able to find any after rooting it...
Anyone who wants custom roms for the HD8 should donate to ggow! He's proven to have skill (created several other roms) and has expressed a willingness to work on the HD8. We just need to get a device into his hands.

What are you talking about? :laugh:
The fact that k4y0z is working on the HD10? There is still the HD8. And k4y0z even chimes in to say that both devices could benefit from ggow working on it. The only mess in the thread is the off topic posts which you often see here.

Checking out the K1 and the interface and custom apps look really nice. I would certainly donate to a dev porting that rom to the Iconia.

any system dump?
Not yet, I don't think it releases/ships until the 28th. After that, I'm sure we can get one

I have a Lenovo Tablet K1 in my hands now. Actually, not very impressed with it; still prefer my Acer a500. Anyway, don't know how to do a system dump. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do a system dump, and I will give it a shot.

Is there any dev working on this rom?
We tried to make a system dump, but had issue with ADB drivers on Win7.
I had to go when manipulating, and since had no news from OaT.

I got on IRC several times, but bad timing as no one responded to my requests for trying to dump the system. I returned the Lenovo K1 last night.
For those in the U.S. who want to get/try one of these for cheap, I got mine using the Staples coupon at Office Depot for $399 + taxes. Even at that price I liked my A500 better for several reasons including the lack of ports and the positioning of the 30 (?) pin connector. In addition, Netflix was not installed on it and could not be downloaded from the Android or Lenovo market. That was the primary reason I wanted to give this tablet a try.
Lenovo Rom
Will the Lenovo rom be ported to the Iconia?
ideapad k1
I have the ideapad k1 and I am willing to test and do whatever to help get development started on it. Just let me know. I unboxed for th3volution.blogspot.com and will be reviewing it this week as well.

How to flash the zip files from OTA downloads with the files in the downloaded PQXU200.2H.0013.W.CN.0729.zip?
What files do you need from the system dump?
these are the OTA files. download.lenovo.com/slates/k1/OTA/
As for the PQXU200.2H.0013.W.CN.0729.zip you will have issues, as that is in Chinese. You will need to switch the files with the latest 829 files from above for it to work.
It's nice to know someone here is trying
Guys, I contacted jcase to make our plea & after initial digging, he kindly got with xda member fi01 & we now have root, once it was compiled by Besups! It only took them 2 days, probably less, but I contacted him this weekend & boy have they come through!
Read the thread, hit thanks & make sure these greats know how much they are truly appreciated!
Three cheers for fi01, jcase & Beaups!

This is great news! Just in time for the long holiday. Is this flashed through stock recovery? If so, how do we get to it on the HDX?
Sorry if this is a stupid question
I'm new to the Kindle scene (but am loving my HDX 8.9). Does having root mean that I will be able to install the Google Play Store?

YAY! I guess I know how I'll be spending this evening when I get off of work! Thanks to the developer for the getting us root! I've been a creeper around the XDA community for quite some time (since the Droid X) and have really appreciated all of the support.
Great job,thanks to them.hope custom firmware will be available soon

Cool! Looks like a little more help might be needed for the HD7 (2nd Gen), but it's a start.

Versions
Just to clarify the version situation, the Kindle Fire HDX 8" is 14.3.1.0, and the HDX 7" is 13.3.1.0
Did root access fix the issues with wallpapers and widgets not working or is it more complicated than that?
Great news, do you think this exploit can be modified to root the kindle fire 7" HD 2013? Holding thumbs here :good:
Any word on root for hdx 7?
He's working on it. Go to the dev thread and see for yourself.
Thanks. I am keeping a check on it :fingers-crossed:. The time posted on the forums is not correct so i do not know correct time stuff is posted.

Thank you!
Thanks, kindle is perfect.
Just in case Amazon fixes the exploit in an update I have blocked the update servers from getting through my router.
The IPs below are the update servers in case anyone else wants to block them.
Code:
72.21.194.208
176.32.100.136
72.21.195.233
If you have a dd-wrt router just add this to your firewall
Code:
iptables -I FORWARD -d 72.21.194.208 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -d 176.32.100.136 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -d 72.21.195.233 -j DROP
This is wonderful. Please don't forget hdx 7". If you need any info please let me know

Look into the Android development. Root for HDX 7" is already working for me. ADB method worked like a charm, even though it does not seem that way from what the command prompt says. Use the root checker. A very big thanks for everyone involved.
Just a little advice for everyone. You may need to install superuser and busybox from 1mobile.

There is no exploit package for your Fire tablet
So, i was going to buy the HD10 and was seeing a lot of threads about the "previous" versions that allow the tools to be used to stop all the bloatware from coming up on the Fire. Would those same tools work on the latest version of the fire HD10:

Thanks in advance. Apologies if this is a very noob question to ask.
