[Q] Bootloader won't boot because its chinese??? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hey There,
I need a little help with my Transformer Prime Tablet. A week ago I bought myself an new one. Since I am in China I got only the Chinese version of it. Which usually isn't a big deal but from time to time a few strange things happens with those devices. This time it's the fact that that there is now play store installed at the tablet. You can install the play store by yourself but since there is no option to add a google account the play store is useless and quits immediately without out any message or what so ever.
Ok, no big deal I thought. Just flash it and everything will be fine. Since I did do that already with plenty of different devices before I have been confident it will work this time as well. At least that's what I thought. I unlocked the tablet. After quite bit of trouble I could flash a new bootloader as well. But thats it then. I tried differend bootloaders like cwm and twrp, also in different versions.
The flashing itself is no problem but when I try to boot into bootloader it just shows that it will start the bootloader now and thats it. Then it just keeps showing this message and hangs. Android itself is booting flawlessly. I really don't know what to do anymore. Everything work like it should. Adb is working, fastboot works and Android as well. Only booting into bootloader is not working.
So here's my question: First, has anyone an Idea whats going wrong here and what I can try to do about? And second, is there any way to flash a new rom through fastboot or with adb or what so ever?
Any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] Removing Safestrap via Terminal Command?

Hi everyone,
i have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" which is kind of softbricked. Maybe even hardbricked but my knowledge doesnt reach that far to determine.
Here's the thing. I already got in touch with Amazon, they checked my Amazon Account and were pleased to send me a new Kindle since i still got warranty on it.
Okay so far so good.
But here comes the real deal.
I'm pretty sure my warranty doesnt really cover the whole root -> brick story.
I told the Lady that after a factory reset the Tablet keeps trying to start the Setup over and over again. Which is indeed the case. I did not mention anything else.
So. My plan was, since i'm still able to go into safestrap recovery, to delete everything that could point out that the Tablet was rooted. Atleast on the first view.
TL.DR:
Is it possible to delete Safestrap/TWRP via the Terminal Command?
I know you can browse through the Tablet, but i couldnt find where the Folders are located.
Even if the Tablet doesnt Boot at all after deletion, i wouldnt mind.
Cause then i could still keep my new Tablet and hope they cant find anything on the broken one.
Hope anyone can help me.
If it is hard to understand what i meant i can give you further informations.
It's kind a hard for me to describe such technical things in a foreign language.
If you can access safestap, you can unbrick your device mate.
Well i kind of tried everything possible.
It's not on topic but i can describe what i did, maybe it helps other to not do the same mistake.
I had my Kindle rooted on 13.3.2.4 with the HDX Toolkit.
Everything worked fine since one day the Google Store stopped working.
Well at that time i wasnt using the Tablet on a daily basis so i didnt mind much and got a little off touch with the whole rooting thing, and the do's and dont's.
Then after a couple of weeks i got a bit frustrated over the fact that the integrated Prime Video Streaming is so out of date, that you cant even watch movies USK18 or switch languages within the Movie.
So i decided to use the Kindle as it was meant to by amazon and remove everything.
I really shouldve read more about the prodecure, i know that now.
But here's what i did:
1. Wiped and Removed my non-StockROM
2. Booted on StockROM and did a Factory Reset
3. Sh#t got weird so i went into recovery and wiped the StockROM aswell
4. Now i can still go into Recovery, but when i try to Boot i kind of dont have a FIrmware installed. It trys to re-do the Setup where you have to choose ur language over and over again.
So by now i already know what i should've done instead.
But at this point; my Kindle doesnt get recognized by my PC nor by ADB.
And i dont know what i can do with the Safestrap Recovery at the beginning.
So far, any more ideas?
Should i still try to unbrick it or just wipe my fingerprints off of it and hope i can keep the new one.

So you can open safestap ? If you can, then try ADB on a Linux/Mac machine. It will work. Windows has a problem with the drivers. Also I am not sure about this, but if you access the stock kindle recovery and do a factory reset from there, you might wipe safestap.

[SOLVED] HELP!!! Stuck in Fastboot Mode!!!

Hey guys I desperately need help here. I got this Kindle Fire 8.9" years ago, and got abandoned by my Dad because we live in SEA, can't do much with it, I cannot even get the free apps through Amazon Appstore. I can use fake US CC in this matter to get the free apps but Is that even legit? I have real CC and a legit Amazon account I bought real stuffs from Amazon too back then (books, some shirts and some gadgets) but that doesn't seem to help much.
Anyway sideloading apps from Google Play don't help much since the compatibility are horrible, and sideloading the Google Playstore itself just don't work. I've attempted to install all the Playstore requirements, some installed and some spit out "Parse error - There was a problem parsing the package".
I figure I needed to convert it to a full Android. So searching around I found about "fastboot" but I'm not familiar with it. I only got my hands dirty on Odin and SP Flash Tool.
I followed the instruction here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...t-install-twrp-android-fire-os-8-5-1-t3278286
Works very well, rooted with KingRoot (which I already have offline), installed FireFlash, flashed the bootloader and recovery (100% like the instruction told me), got into TWRP, did a full backup of the current ROM and reboot. I can get it to the Carousel just fine. I attempted to flash Gapps package for ICS (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip) from here (found from googling around, checked the content too) :
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6zwjGaKK0GVUll5Sm95LWpNaDg/edit
The installation went quite well, after running Play Store, it crashes constantly. Found another tutorial on installing Google Apps on another forum, which I lost the link, so I want to attempt another Google Play install before went to CyanogenMod.
I noticed something, after each reboot, I need to re-flash TWRP and reboot. When I attempt to reflash TWRP I notice that kfhd8freedom-boot-8.4.6.img didn't have any warning anymore.
The tablet was a gift from my brother in law to my Dad. It was never been reset ever since. In fact after I installed Google Play, it still got my brother in law login in it, even though it doesn't have the Google Play store. So I figure I need to do a factory reset and start 100% fresh, just to be sure.
And this is where it went wrong. After the factory reset the device rebooted into fastboot mode. I don't know why. I see the orange Kindle Fire logo, then the screen went red then "fast boot mode" appear on screen. At this point I cannot do anything to it. Followed every power button tutorials out there, like pressing the power for 20 seconds then release then hold it for 2 seconds, or power plus volume up/volume down, no luck.
I plugged it into my PC, it shows as "Android", and below it "Android ADB". So I tried to use ADB console for it, it didn't respond. However it responds to "fastboot" commands, tried some commands from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474566&page=2
These commands works :
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
But it went straight back to fastboot mode. My guess is that the culprit is kfhd8freedom-boot-8.4.6.img.
Looking around in the forum there're so many obsolete solutions, like Kindle Fire HD First Aide download link are dead and it was intended for Fire 7.
So the questions are :
How would you recommend me to fix this? Fastboot command definitely still working from PC to my Kindle, if that is any help for this case. I really have no clue on what to do next. I only experienced with Odin and SP Flash Tool. I have no experience with fastboot.
I don't have any stock rom at hands, neither can find any googling around. Can anyone provide me with one? Just in case anything bad happen again after I fix this.
Will this work for 8.9"? Since he posted it in Fire 7 forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Info on my devices :
Kindle Fire Jem 8.9"
Latest stock (8.5.1_user_5159720) was installed
Rooted with KingRoot before went brick
I have no fastboot cable, but the fastboot command mentioned earlier works on regular USB (OnePlus One's stock cable)
Gapps for ICS was installed within too
I got both Windows 10 and Windows XP PCs at my hand. XP seems to recognize it better as ADB something under "android" in device manager.
I also got Ubuntu 16.04 installation, if needed.
Please help.
Thank you in advance!
Managed to boot into Fire OS
I just use fastboot to flash both kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin.
After a reboot I went into TWRP, it does a few stuffs then rebooted again automatically.
Blue logo came up, then the orange logo, but it took longer than usual, I was a bit panicking. Forgot that on each first boot Android would take longer than usual.
But then kindle fire up the first time setup *phew*
First I want to get Gapps working on this device. If that working well, I'll stick with stock + GAPPS and custom launcher.
Only after that I will try CM12 on it.
I'll update on this thread later on how it goes.
Did anyone still have the stock recovery.img and boot.img?
Also after completing the initial setup my navigation and status bar went missing
The navigation bar blinks for a second then went black. While the status bar which displays wifi icons and hide the settings are missing. I cannot swipe from above at all.
With the status bar and navigation bar missing I can't do anything in it.
I still have APKs (es file explorer, kingroot, fireflash, all the ROMS like Cyanogen & TWRP) within the internal storage, but I cannot reach them.
Using silk tried to open file:/// it said "Webpage not available". I did this previously to sideload ES file explorer.
I went into recovery (power + volume up) but it went into fastboot mode instead of TWRP. And this time in "fastboot mode" it doesn't recognize either adb or fastboot commands from my PC.
I cannot even factory reset it.
What to do next?
My god, overall my impression so far? The hardware itself are near Apple premium quality.
But it looks like Amazon tried to follow Apple's footstep in term of software too.
Also this got me thinking of not having an android without any dedicated navigation buttons.
Finally SOLVED.
I forgot I can download ES file explorer from Silk. But turn out my Amazon appstore account allowed me to download it instead. Probably because my dad and brother's credentials was wiped clean from it.
I went to find flashfire.apk in my internal storage. Install it, then the unknown source popup warning appeared. Luckily it got the settings button which lead me to that particular option. After I tick it, I need to shut my kindle down, reboot then went to install it again, because there's no navigation bar available.
After it installed, turn out Kingroot's root are still intact. Kingroot's root permission pop up appeared.
Reflashed TWRP and Freedom boot. Shut my Kindle down, volume up + power and I'm in TWRP!!!
I decide I'll just go full CM this time. So, continued this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kind...8-5-1-t3278286
Now I'm currently updating the default Google apps from Google Play within CM 12. A little laggy but most definitely far better than FireOS.
I'll be using this Kindle for a week, I'll report here and hopefully can contribute to CM's bug report.
So far : camera, bluetooth, WIFI, GPS works out of the box. Brightness settings don't work.
Just one question, does this fastboot cable thingy "standard"? I saw one seller in my local online shop but it's for Xiaomi. Can I use it for OnePlus One and Kindle?
Oh yeah I got TWRP backup of the stock kindle, but I would still need both stock boot and recovery image. If someone kindly enough to provide me I'll be very thankful.
Checking in
Root are enabled by default, just found out about this. It got build in, barebone SU management, on which you can allow an app to have root access or not, but didn't see any comprehensive root access management like those found in SuperSU.
So installed SuperSU, told SuperSU to just update through TWRP, update binary was a breeze, all done automatically.
Watching YouTube on it was quite convenient. The screen obviously have near-retina display. Much better than viewing it on my Note 10.1 2012 obviously.
No problem browsing on Chrome.
Installed couple of other root apps, transfered it from my cheap chinese phone (Mito) using Bluetooth. All works well.
Tried to play Shooty Skies on it but it stuck on the intro screen. However on my OPO Shooty Skies refuses to run too and stuck on the intro screen. I've unlocked all characters on it I'll just wait for an update then.
Did some theming, custom boot animations works, styles applied, icons and everything applied without any problem at all.
One complain, the sound are too low, even when maxed out. Perhaps because the Dolby isn't supported by this CM yet?
My dad complained that there're too many updates after the initial setup so I use System Cleaner 2 to merge the updates into the system. The app did wonderful job on my Mito :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flaki.systemcleaner2
Merged all updates into the system. If I don't do this everytime I wipe the device, the device will keep asking for updates. At least on the Gapps. It stuck at the middle, so I restart the System Cleaner 2 and it continue to do its job.
Then when I install Link2SD, which often do better job and more comprehensive apk management, weird things started to happen. It's said SuperSU are not installed. That and also couple of Google Apps. When I run Link2SD, their size is 0.
I think it's most likely caused by System Cleaner 2, couple of apps got interrupted when I merge the updated apk into the system?
So I reboot, then after I got into trebuchet, all the supposedly installed apps are gone. I don't know why. Thus I wipe everything clean again, reflash CM12, and just go into unrooted mode, update the gapps, remove my account and let my dad login using his and do whatever he want with this kindle.
Another minor update.
Since I've downloaded ICS (CM11), I figure I might just try it anyway. Since on whatever softwares I use I prefer older, stable version than bleeding edge and feature-rich but unstable ones.
Take a note I'm not saying CM12 is unstable, no problem so far, only those I pointed out in the previous post. But mostly because CM11 was marked "stable" on CyanogenMod download site.
First impression? It's snappier than CM12, and much more familiar than Lollipop. (since most devices I own still using JellyBean, with the exception of my OPO which already running Marshmellow).
My dad should be familiar with it too. Quite happy with it. But unfortunately the gapps are too outdated. It throws me server errors, and I cannot reach anything within Google Play. I can browse google websites without problem, even google play itself inside the default browser, so it's not connection problem definitely.
Updating the google play manually doesn't fix this. So any solution for this? Perhaps updated gapps for CM11/4.0.4?
Edit : eh nevermind, the Gapps provided for CM12 works with CM11. And very stable too.
Edit : CM11 for Kindle 8.9 is JellyBean 4.4, not ICS.
I guess I'll stick to CM11 for awhile then.
One more question, what does the CM12 recovery do? Can I install it alongside CM11? Is it better than TWRP?

Appears you have gone your own way completely independent of general guidance/solutions offered in the HDX forums. Seemed to work too based on your copious self-reporting. Hope all remains well; you are on an island which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Lol. Xda isn't my first English speaking forum so I did a search or two before I ask anything. And I've been around here quite awhile just rarely post but xda is my primary resource on mobile customizations.
I do still have couple of unanswered questions tho :
1. I still need the stock FireOS and recovery. I'm very sure I've backed it up but I probably accidentally wiped them in the process because I saved them in the internal storage.
2. Are the fastboot cables universal? This thing is hard to look for in my local stores and I can only find Xiaomi's. Will this work for every fastboot devices out there? I just found out about fastboot from flashing this kindle and I also recently find out my OPO uses fastboot as well so kinda thought it would be handy to keep one around.
3. How does CM12's recovery compares to TWRP? And will it runs fine along CM11 rom? I can try it myself but having late sleeps for days just because I bricked my kindle again isn't cool lol. TWRP does its job well. If it ain't broken I don't want to fix it. But I just want to know why @Hashcode included it in Cm12. If it's worth it I'll go ahead and install it and probably give further reports about it.
So far my dad is enjoying his CM11 powered kindle. Not sure if he finds any new bugs or not but seems that he's not complaining.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

As noted you have gone you own way so the standard responses don't necessarily apply. Quick notes:
- there are several ways of restoring stock FireOS on this device, none clean, all with ramifications. Unless you need FireOS I would stear clear
- no standard way of restoring stock recovery; obtaining a compatible recovery image will be a challenge. TWRP is far superior
- fastboot cables do not work with this device
- I have no knowledge of CM12's recovery. TWRP gets the job done and is universal.

Ah dang. Not that much of a problem though. I just like to keep stocks ROMs around just to be safe. I won't be returning this thing to Amazon anytime soon, and I guess judging by my brief experience with the FireOS it won't be much of a use for our locals using the stock ROM if I or my dad actually decide to sell it.

My Kindle Fire HDX (3rd Gen) is stuck in fastboot. After reading some forums, people don't recommend sending attempting to "recover" from the fastboot for the likelihood of bricking the device. Would you mind sharing the vulnerable bootloader + the twrp and the CM file you used? Along with the commands you used to flash. For some reason, the device isn't flashing the twrp image I have. I receive a "unknown partition" error when I try to flash twrp.
Thank you in advance.

SLA-LA00 Recovery/Firmware Update

Hi All,
I have a Huawei Enjoy 7 - Model SLA-LA00 (running Nougat 7.0, EMUI 5.1, Boot is unlocked).
I'd like to root it, but I've tried Kingoroot, King Root, iRoot etc and it repeatedly fails. On checking it seems that my device isn't compatible with those apps. I would like to use the ADB method, but there's no custom recovery image for the SLA-LA00, I've also checked and it seems, there isn't but please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is there a custom recovery available for my model?? Also, I've tried looking but, is there an International firmware for this model??
Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.
Regards,
marquez010
Hello, was going to create a new thread, but think yours fits what I need to ask aswell.
Same phone here, bought it in Shanghai and now in Brasil, was trying just to make it google able. Salesman at the official Huawei store tricked me to think it would just need access to a open network for it to work. Silly me.
Well, as you, unlocked it with ADB and with no answers from nobody, tried to flash it with a random TWRP. Obviously didn't work. Now the phone wont boot into system, but i still can manage to put it in fastboot mode and it still replies to ADB.
Question is if someone that knows better than me can tell me what to do to at least get back where I was, before I finish killing this damm stupid phone, wich also doesn't seem such bad idea.

Hi , all you have here :
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-enjoy-7-b161-nougat/
Hey, thanks a bunch. Found that post before, but it looks like its for an older version of this phone. Mine was running b190 nougat. Don't know if should try to flash this one, but if no other ideas, will try it.
Well, was able to boot it again. Flashed it with yet another twrp that i found for a similar (or so i think) huawei and even tough it didn't work, when I connected the phone to the charger and it responded the power up volume combination and allowed me to reboot normaly.
Guess I'm back to where I started. Think now is better to wait, maybe there wiil be a moe suitable release of a gms core package that it requires for google play to work (have it, but installation fails on rebbot) or twrp updates with a version that works for me and then I can try to install gapps thru it.
Back to my old crappy lg now.

Ulefone Power 2 TWRP bootloop, cant flash ROM

Hey guys, this is my first Thread in xdadevelopers
I am pretty new to coding and all this "behind the UI" stuff, but i am eager to learn more, since its really fun.
So i have got a new Phone : the ulefone power 2 with MTK6750T Prozessor. It has quite the battery with 6000mah, but i still wanted to root the device to archieve like one week battery time or so xD
I rooted, installed TWRP recovery and some apps, everything just went fine. I didnt install a custom rom, since i didnt find any for this phone. Well, i wont buy mtk phones anymore, since they dont offer open source code with all its community possibilities
Anyway, today the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. I thought its a common bug, restarted it. Now it wont start the OS anymore, its only booting in TWRP. I dont remember well, but it said something like "phone is not safe, gotta factory reset".
Since i have TWRP, i just did the reset. Without success though. Its still booting into recovery and cant shut down either, whatever i chose in TWRP options.
My next thought was flashing a new ROM with TWRP, which doesnt work due to "zip file is corrupt" error, even though its the stock file from ulefone.com
Since TWRP has a command terminal, it might be possible to use to stop the recovery bootloop when connecting to pc? in this case i might be able to use adb, but atm i cant, and the battery is non removable
I dont care that much about having a phone, i could just buy a new one (xiaomi redmi note 4x it would be), but i would really like to fix this and enlarge my knowledge for situations to come.
Hopefully someone of the professionals here can help. There is a similar Thread already by drkeey, but in my case i can still use TWRP with my mouse, so there might be hope.

Flashing recovery

So I admit I am an idiot and did this to myself. I installed the latest FireOS OTA through TWRP then thought to keep TWRP I would install it before I rebooted. I know I probably should have read threads about keeping root and the horribleness of 5.6.0.1 but I did not. So I can boot into the OS and I can boot to bootloader but I have no recovery at all. Any one know how to recover from this? Found out the unbrick method I have used before does not work. Fastboot give me an error about locked hw.
Been working on this anyone know or have a fastboot zip or image. I am getting a errors trying to flash the amazon bin with fastboot.
I know I am the only one posting here. I read through a bunch of threads that seem to be people in the same issue. I have now managed to get it stuck in demo mode. I also cannot seem to accomplish much from fastboot because I get a locked hw error. Bought a couple for parts HD6s off ebay. So hopefully I can make something work and get at least one working tablet. This has really put a damper on trying to create a device tree to try and build cm12.
Closer to being a brick. Some how I managed to have root in adb and managed to wipe all. Which I guess really meant all. Now all I get is the amazon logo. No desktop. No adb. No way to get to fastboot.
So ebay tablets came in, bout a lot that had 2. The one was listed as a demo model, so a simple ;demo in the search and resell the device and viola fully working tablet. It still had 4.1.1 on it so a simple update to 4.5.3, Kingroot, and TWRP install and back on CM11. The second was "black screen" so I assumed bricked as it did not seem to turn on when plugged in, initially. Tried running through unbrick but nothing from ./reader.sh so assumed on newer FireOS that blocked that function. After setting the first up I was rearranging my stack on now 2, what I thought where, badly bricked devices. Hit the power button and booted to lock screen with 7% battery. So I now have an extra HD6 to mess with. Best part is I got both of them for $20 total.
