Possible 13/14.3.2.3.2 root

Notice: Towelroot works!
Added to the toolkit.​
It is possible 13/14.3.2.2 can be rooted. Talk between a few devs confirm this.
id suggest keeping your kindle in offline mode for the next couple of months. perhaps until the xda developers conference? the exploits were shown to amazon's team, so they will patch it before it is released. hence the keep it offline

he has it working and will have it. he likes telling companies their bugs so they can patch it and make a more secure device once its patched he releases root. should be about 90 days or so, but once its patched i believe he plans on releasing the root then so there wont be any need to let people know as it will be posted. its just a matter of letting them know to not accept updates (which you can only do by never connecting). so people who sit offline are fine enough, just sucks for anyone who wont. i thought about posting "If anyone was serious about wanting root they would keep their device off the internet until the next root was found".

As you can tell, if you can bide without a net connection, it's worth the possible wait. Just keep your device disconnected from the net. Give it some time. If you do connect, be vigilant of it updating. Do not leave it connect to the internet unintended or on standby.
Update:
I highly suggest if you are going to wait, don't mess around with filtering connections. Before I was almost sure I blocked all out and inbound connections (with android firewall(a config front for iptables)) from Amazon but people were updated.

wow thanks man
also,if the new root comes out wouldn't it be wise to use rom manager instead of safestrap? That way I think the other ROM would be always turned off and you wouldn't need to have it on airplane mode all the time.
I'm interested weather that would fix the problem?

Haven't seen anybody test it when we had root. It's a sure thing to block ota updates, but until we get root, that's when we'll see. Wait to get root, block the updates then make a backup of the (ota blocked) stock rom and use that for future rom needs.

Wow..excellent news!!!

When released root?
When released root? 14.3.2.2

I hope the new root program will be come a little faster , The amazon ROM is terrible .

Awesome, can't wait.:laugh:

Just to clarify I'm not releasing it, a (unnamed) person is.
I however, will be testing it once released and possibly add it to my root tool if all goes well.

Btw, has anyone heard from the vroot people? Are they working on something? More then likely not.

Hehe lol. Is this serious ?

As for this root, I find it hard to believe that a random person has found a exploit, and is going to utilize it to get everyone root. But I am going to wait patiently, just like I do with everything, and I will continue trying to work on my own in airplane mode.

Itchy fingers..
My 8.9 is a week old and I'm dying to get at it. Will be waiting for the brains out there to make it possible. Meanwhile I'll keep it offline and be checking this forum 3x's a day!!!!

I'm just spreading the word what was pm to me. I'm not looking for fame. I just want this bad boy cracked, rooted, and everything in between. But if people decide to leave thanks, that's their doing. I'm just trying to help keep talk active.
To further clarify, I received news/quotes that 13/14.3.2.2 may be rootable and that someone found it. But the person seems to be waiting to inform Amazon, then decide to release it. All I'm really saying is if you want to wait for the possible root access, now is the time to wait. If you're blocking ota, just wait around. If your not blocking updates, you should keep your device disconnected and wait.
Please see the word possible and not mistake it for probable. Patience is the best thing for now.
But regardless, please inform others.
iMJets this isn't towards you, I'm just addressing the question

I was the person who notified faz that there might be a root released soon.
I was PMed information from a verified XDA developer who provided me information about a /possible/ root getting released for this update in the near future.
The person who PMd me and the person who provided them with the information want to remain anonymous for their own reasons.
I am not a recognized developer or a person of interest in the development community. Which is why I provided the information I had to Faz.
What you do with this information is up to you.
I personally believe in the spirit of Open Source and think that information like this should be shared, I did not think any of you would believe me if I said anything so I reached out to Faz.

+1 I have never seen anyone here on xda being such on idiot that after finding a root exploit (likely a lot of work), he makes sure that it is patched up in the latest version and realease it later. I think GPL should be modified to disallow usage of locked bootloaders.

Thanks, but alas my excitement over my new toy was my doom... and I know better. I am sure the brilliant minds will come through with root for us though - just hard to be patient since I think this device has so much potential.

Well the thing is next time I think it could be wise to ask the devs to maybe work on different ROMS, for example optimising the paranoid android ROM maybe? The thing is, that way the Amazon ROM would be off all the time, right?

New update released. Notice for all.

I didn't get any say in whether the update installed or not. It actually woke me up in the middle of the night last night, it downloaded and installed without my interaction. I guess they're making this one mandatory... (well for those of us that didn't freeze the update service.)

Haven't found anything else that is changed.

I have noticed that I can no longer change content scaling. It's there but greyed out. If in touch it it says that it must be QHD and can't be changed. That's an odd one...

Also I'm a bit disappointed it's still only security patch for August, the Verizon updated bumped them to the September 1st patch.

I'm on a replacement model and have the display scaling feature still. I wonder if it's something they changed for the older models.

The green battery Icon is disgusting. Can it be hidden without root?

I got the update as well, green battery icon or more distinguished battery icon....also when I hold down the power button to turn it off it now has a battery percentage along eith power off reset and what not, not sure if that is nes or not the added battery life on power hold that is. Wonder what else it was cause it was like 112mb download.

remove download speed from notification bar

hi
my new elephone S7 has a link speed showing the current download speed of the wifi on the notification bar that anoys me very much.
I there any way to remove this? also like to remove the BIG 4G sign next to network signal.
thanks!

You can remove it in Settings - Display - Turn off "Display the real-time speed".
About 4G I think we can't remove it without Xposed.

is It posible to root and install Xposed?

Not yet, but soon I think.

It is possible I did but I was super tricky I can't explain in detail of how to do it but maybe in the future there be better instructions, finding the drivers was a mess making the flash tool work was a pain. It's is possible for root and Xposed

[A2017U:B29] Scheduled DND Force Closes

I just got my phone on Friday, and I've been going through the settings and configuring things. I have not inserted a SIM card yet, since I'm waiting for my case to be delivered before switching to the A7 full time. I am keeping it stock for now. I ran into an issue when setting up the time schedule for Do Not Disturb. When I click on the days, Settings stops. Has anybody else had this problem with the stock ROM?

Play Store not downloading

Hi everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as I'm having. After transferring through Oneplus Switch my old OP5 stuff to my 6T, it all was working fine despite the battery draining. After updating to 9.0.6 I thought to do a hard reset hoping to improve the OST and other speed issues.
After doing it, Google Play Store would allow me to download apps as normal for some hours, to then, join a loop in which all what does is keep the app (any app, not one in particular, any one that I've tried) on "Downloading" to end up not downloading anything, and if it eventually does would be extremely slow and after at least 10 minutes on said loop.
It happens both on Cell Data and on WiFi and it doesn't happens in any other devices. I've tried to do hard reset three times already and all of them ends up in the same way. I have done as well all the troubleshooting from Google with wiping cache of both Play Store and Play Services and all the apps are updated to the latest version.
Funny enough, I've been reading some people with similar issues or the same, and when "Battery Saver" is turned on, all the apps download as normal...
Any clues? Is so frustrating!
Enviado desde mi ONEPLUS A6013 mediante Tapatalk

I'd recommend clearing app and cache data (for the Play Store app) and then try again. It may not help but it's more often than not the problem.

Thanks Archer, already tried... Nothing works.

Did you just wipe the cache,or,did you also wipe data (storage) ,from the Google Play Store app?
If you didn't wipe the entire data (storage),give that a shot,reboot,open the Google Play store app & see if it works OK afterwards.
Ad blockers may interrupt normal Google Play Store usage,make sure you whitelist Google Play Store if this is the case.

For me a reboot usually solved the issue.
Though clearing the data of Google Play services and Playstore and then rebooting might work.
If not then try turning the 'Play Protect' off, clearing Google Playstore data and rebooting. See if that helps.

Hi guys. I've tried both of the options and after I download one app it doesn't works again.

I'm sure others have suggestions that haven't been mentioned yet,hopefully someone has the answer.
However,once you've exhausted all possibilities,if you're willing to,go the nuclear option with a factory reset & do not use a backup/OnePlus Switch,set it up as a new device.
I don't blame ya if you are reluctant to go the reset option,but,I suppose you could use your previous backup or make one of what you have.
Worse case scenario,you can rule out a factory reset/new set-up doesn't help & go back to what you have now.

I've gone nuclear already lol, three times to be exact and I've set it up as new device. Last resource would be trying to remove the Google account (I got two) before doing the hard reset and try once again. If that fails I really don't know what else to do... Perhaps sending back to Amazon and ask for a new one, otherwise I'm lost!

Sounds like you've done more than your due diligence,perhaps signing-out of all accounts & one last reset doesn't do the trick,might as well send it back.
Amazon is usually easy as far as that goes,they'll likely send you a new one before they receive your RMA Return.
Please keep us posted with your progress,regardless of the final outcome. :good:

Will try that tomorrow as last resource, that's the only thing I've haven't done.
Otherwise, I'll need to fight with Amazon here in the UK :/

If the accounts sign-out/reset doesn't do the trick,perhaps a total re-install of everything might do the trick:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
(This is the one for the unlocked/international version,definitely sign out of all accounts beforehand,just to be on the safe side)
I'm really grasping at straws at this point & this definitely exceeds the norm/any reasonable expectations of the consumer as troubleshooting goes.
Just thought I'd throw it out there,in the event this is more appealing than dealing with a return.

Mate thanks a million! I will definitely try to log out of all accounts and do a full wipe from the start up menu and see how it goes. At the moment is downloading, but takes up to ten minutes to start downloading and then starts up to install.

Yeah,I've used the T-Mobile version & it works flawlessly.
If you have any questions,just ask around in the thread I linked.
Once you get it started,give it about 5-10 minutes to fully flash,you'll see it say done,or something to that effect,& a press any button to continue (re-boot the phone) once everything is done.

I'm having the same issue. Everything is stuck on download pending. Happens ever since the latest update.
A temporary fix for me is to disable > force stop > clear cache > enable and downloading apps would work a few times before being stuck in pending again.

Best of luck with the replacement,see ya 'round the forum! :good:

Replacement fully set up and working fine.
Now, whilst waiting for it to arrive I've found a work around for the issue. Is to restore all apps settings. In the settings menu, apps, show all apps, top right (the three dots) and restore all apps settings. Restart the phone and then it works. Absolutely mental that we have to do all that!
