First of all, I am not sure that this is the right place to post, but I am new here so please move the topic if it is not the right place.
Secondly, English is not my native language so excuse any mistake I can make.
Thirdly, I am not an Android pro so I may use words for others, I hope you'll understand what I mean.
So, I was a bit stupid yesterday and followed a tutorial to root my Galaxy Player 5.8, tutorial that didn't apply to the Galaxy Player 5.8. Now, It is stuck on a screen showing a yellow triangle and an icon that surely means "connect the device to the PC". I can still use Odin. But What should I use Odin for ? Is there some working ROM or something somewhere that I can get on my device ? Even if that ROM is not rooted, I'd still like to be able to boot my Android instead of being stuck at that screen.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help provided.
edit Nevermind, found what I wanted here: http://www.gsmkhmer.com/index.php?topic=8496.0 (remove spaces to get the link, I can't post links until 10 posts)
Now my Galaxy Player works like it used to work
How is it compared to the 5.0?

I can't really tell, I never owned a 5.0
In fact this device is my first Android device, so of course I am really amazed by everything it does, even more now that it is rooted
It is rather big but I was used to carry calculators in my pockets so it fits pretty well
The only downside of the big screen is that if you only have one hand available, your thumb can't get everywhere on the screen
Other than that it is great

Hi Hayleia, do you still have the firmware with you or have you deleted it already? The download at the link that you've provided seems to be down..

I am in France, there was a website called Export Privé (I don't think you are interested in any link if you are in America, and I don't know if I have enough posts to post links either so I won't try since it is easy to findd it on Google ) that exported those devices to France for approximately 340 €.

Yeah, that website is a bit weird, it was down right after I downloaded it, then was back, so maybe it was down when you checked but now it is back
To anwser the question, yes, I still have it (if my hard drive didn't fail while I was playing on my Android), but I don't know if
-I have enough posts to attach files
-It is legal here to attach it
Also, I have a new question now: How can I upgrade my Galaxy Player 5.8 to Android 4.2 ? I don't recall seeing any Cyanogenmod for this model

It is legal to attach it. But you can't because the file is too large. You can upload it somewhere like dropbox or google drive and post the link here with spaces in the link so all we have to do is get rid of the spaces.
As for 4.2, its probably the same story as every other galaxy player. Samsung doesnt want release it so we have to make it. Might have to do the same if you want it

So what is needed to make a custom rom with 4.2 ? Are the files I uploaded enough for someone to make it ?
Thank you so much! Sorry for all that trouble uploading into so many different parts! Initially I thought of sending you a PM with my email and then you could transfer the file to me via wetransfer.com or something if the link is still down. You're awesome!
By the way, the link is back up! Thanks again!

Keep your "awesome" for the one who will transform those files into a 4.2 rom

Well, the first two steps don't seem very hard.
But the "Then modify for your device" sounds tricky for me, except if you have a complete-noob-step-by-step tutorial

More seriously, would this one (not on xda but still seems to answer my needs pretty well) be good ?

Indeed, I know nothing about computers and Android devices, I only interested myself to calculators until my parents accepted to buy me an Android
So yeah, I think I won't manage.

Hi everybody.
I just ordered a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"
It's just for testing, im 100% sure i will return it back to Amazon as soon as I've learned whats FireOS and what can be done.
I'm saying this because I've read some forums and i think i know some things, but not everything.
I've read I need to know things like firmware version of the tablet, Software version before doing anything risky.
My objective is realise if this tablet can be a great deal for me. For instance, I NEED YOUTUBE. I've read and watch some videos and it's not complicated. great.
But... What about alternative markets? or Google Play itself? Launchers? any Pure Android ROM?
I've seen root can be easily done (as far as i've understood) with TowelRoot, wich, i understand, is a reversible thing (superSU app, unroot)
What else can I say? Im not expert, but I'm not dumb. if you guys want me to check a step by step guide, I can do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards.
Depending on version, all of that can be done. However, with the newest builds of the software, all that you can do is install gapps (minus working play store), aftermarket store, and alternate launcher.

At the current OS level you don't have a lot of choices. Best option IMO is to have Amazon downgrade to 14.3.2.8 which will allow you to obtain root. From there you can install Safestrap and the Nexus ROM. Or simply enjoy the device as-is until additional customization options become available. Don't bother with a downgrade if you are planning to return.
If you want to learn more you'll have to do some reading. Things like "where can I find the hardware version" suggest you are just getting started. We have all been there and many people are willing to help but you've got to do some basic homework first. The various threads in this forum are an excellent resource.
you can try to unlock it. I think bootloader is still vulnerable to unlock.
fastboot oem unlock <unlock.img>
follow instruction on orig development. I don't know if it trigger tampered flag... try at your own risk.
once unlocked you can prepare a pre-rooted/ota disabled image

Depends what version it's on. If 4.5.2 or below you can at least root (with varying degrees of effort); if below 3.2.7 you can unlock the bootloader which opens up many other opportunities including a real recovery and different ROMS. Alternative ROMS are also available on 3.27->3.28 but require Safestrap. As you said, lots going on. This post will likely be obsolete in a few weeks. Might be now ...

Devs tend to focus on one device (most likely the one they have!) then adapt for other variants with the help of others. The most recent developments seem to be happening on Apollo. Keep watching the forums; I'm sure whatever you are looking for will show up eventually.
Keep in mind the HDX is not like most other android devices. It's difficult to tame and easy to brick. That said, it's a wonderful hunk of hardware worthy of your time/effort if you want to go beyond stock.
I have a Kindle HDX 8.9 Apollo. I used Kingroot to root my device. then used xposed installer with HDXposed module and installed Google Play Store. I have to reinstall Play Store after installing andopening an app in the Play Store. first install your apps do not open them or you will have to uninstall and reinstall the Play Store. good luck. hoping there is a way to unlock the bootloader soon. looking forward to putting a real ROM on this great device.
I am looking for a text message app that I can use with HDX 8.9 Tmo LTE. I dont want a app that uses a web page.....I just want a simple text msg that would use the tmo phone number assigned to my Fire HDX 8.9 LTE. Any and all comments will be greatly appreciated.
TIA

As I recall you are running FireOS 14.4.5.3. A quick search of Amazon reviews shows only few comments regarding SMS capability...all negative. I am not sure FireOS was designed to work as a SMS/MMS end point. Only speculating; hope I'm wrong.

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to flash a ROM on the Fire HD Kids tablets? The child using one has outgrown the kiddish nature of the software.
So, any knowledge on if it has been done? I am surprised I can't find any information on this!
Thank you,

Which version do you guys have at the moment?

Nothing I've seen been looking my self. I've tried a few to no avail. Framaroot, kingo root, towelroot, none of which work.
I also need to root this device. Kitkat is really a pain. SD card is really useless with it. Root can only save my tablet from being tossed. Anyone have discovered root?
Nothing yet! We must wait! XDA is the only i trust from the past!!! For rooting and for they apps for rooted phones and tamplets!
Unfortunately this tab can't be rooted as of now, Tested "King ROOT & One Click". both didn't work, But to be fair let's give it a bit more time for the developers to put on attention, this tab has potential

I agree with your request to the root of this device, I hope that developers will soon find a way.
I do not understand why there are several guides that give kingroot working on this device.

I'm waiting for this also. This tab comes with 8GB and to use my SD with link2SD i want to root it. But XDA worths the patience so lets hope it will be soon.
Maybe the problem to the root, is due to processor uncommon.

I Don't think it has something to do with the Processor, But who knows? i might be wrong. Anyways it all comes down to the firmware and the attention to the devs who has the unit in hand.

If you already tried all rooting programs its not possible to root without TWRP or any other custom recovery.
But you didn't tried "all". Just keep trying.

Did you get your tabled rooted?
No dice =-(
Ended up doing an OTA update that I couldn't stop from pushing through. Still searching around for something that works, I just hope I'm not too late. I absolutely love this tablet.. For the performance , build quality, and price, this thing can't be beat. Samsung and Huawei had a couple of decent tablets in the same price range but they looked and felt "cheap" to me. Unlike my HTC 10, I don't think I will lose any sleep if it never gets rooted but I certainly wouldn't mind a custom ROM on this thing
Rooting Z500M
I very much hope someone responds favorably to rooting the Z500M.
I have seen several websites that offer instruction on how to do it. I posted links to some of those pages that offered solutions, but when I did my post was deleted and I was accused of some nonsense from the head of the forum.
I have also seen a site that gives a tutorial on loading Nougat to the Z500M, I would share it but I don't want to get criticized again.
In that meantime, will Asus ever have a upgrade for Android Nougat, at least to 6.01, which had been out for quite a while and I use on my Asus built Nexus 7(2013).
I really want to root and install Adaway to manage all the ads.
Thanks

I would appreciate that very much as well.
The z500m looks like a very good android device but unfortunately I would like to be able to root it before I buy it.
If anyone knows a way to achieve this I would really appreciate that.
Thanks to all. I have had the ZenPad Z500M for about two months and it is a fantastic Tablet, especially for the price.
I am waiting to read from someone who has successfully rooted it. I have read several posts around the web with methods that "should" work, but no comments from anyone who has successfully done it.
I also am waiting for an upgrade to Android 7, Nougat. After signing a petition for Asus to allow upgrades to Nougat and several tech emails and calls, Asus tech support says it will happen.. When?
I would very much like to root it, use Adaway and a custom ROM if I need to.
Thanks,
Jon
i got the nougat update for this tablet about a month ago. android 7.0.
