My idea is to use the same way Devs made PSFreedom for PS Downgrade. What we'd need to achieve and make it work ?
What is the aim to use psdowngrade for PS3 ? to downgrade firmware ? thought ps freedom what just update to be compatible with lastest ps3 update said engadget.
Yes, by allowing the user to downgrade to 3.41.
Sony wrote out the USB debug support so unless someone writes a custom firmware with it in, we're stuck at 3.41

Well, firstly, you'll need to wait for someone to obtain and reverse-engineer the new device and work out how to get it working with generic devices, once they've done that then it might not be much work at all to patch it into psfreedom.

Exactly. The best thing we can do at this point is wait and reverse engineer the device when it comes out. Unless of course someone leaks some of the reverse engineering beforehand.
I think this will be usefull

There have been a few little things leaked in the past day that I've seen, but I don't think full working code is out there yet.
Anything useful (sources, working binaries, information) anyone finds (not just ads, demos etc of the ps downgrade working) please post here or forward them onto klutsh. As more information comes out I don't see why this couldn't be implemented into psfmod.

You're right -- the problem now is decrypting one of the files they're using. Now we have the modified 3.41 firmware that they use for the downgrade. Just a matter of time.

Is there any news regarding this? Would be really nice if we could downgrade PS3 firmware with our precious Android.
Yea it would be nice to be able to downgrade with our android phones. i have the droid eris and have just rooted and put psfreedom on it so i have been looking for a way to downgrade my ps3. i was a noob and formated my hd trying to see if that would work XD good thing for back ups. well i did just download the files so i do hope to see something like psfreedom for the android

Other than the "Official PSDowngrade" there isn't anything available yet. Still have to wait.... although lv2diag.self has finally been decrypted.
This just happened today and it is the first step to the downgrade working for everyone.

Downgrade and then no online play? That kinds of sucks!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
well after downgrading you can update again to play online and then downgrade again etc etc.
so basically 3.41 to do homebrew and backups and 3.50 for online gaming with orig games...
any news? my xbox360 just died (again...) and im thinking of ditching it for a ps3 if this gets done

Hey guys,
Could someone post the updated version of the nook app? It's not available from the canadian market. And yes, I know this will not work on the stock nook. I installed honeycomb within minutes of buying my nook. Also, I'd like to use the app on my n1.
Thanks a bunch,
Samuel Maskell
I would also really appreciate that .. specially due to the fact that it is only available in the american app store. This is just crazy why I cannot get it in europe.
thanks in advance
it does show for me in the web market Nook 2.5 and i'm not n the US
but i'm on Eclair, and i dont have access to wifi here at work, so i cant try it

yes, but when you click install, it will say "this item not available on your carrier"
I just answered my own question without even realizing it in another thread..
market enabler!
why haven't I been using that all along?
I used to use it when we didn't have paid apps in canada(seems like ages ago now) but I didn't even think about the fact that it would let me download US only apps
managed to find a really old US sim.. and it worked straight like a charm.. downloaded and installed straight from the market
most likely because they can't sell ebooks in non-us markets

Thanks, been hunting all over the net for this. Works OK on my Pandigital ereader (Canadian)
You're welcome. It works on the Nook Color with Gingerbread perfectly too.
Hi, I saw that ZaneChua has already uploaded the file. But just for future reference, you can access and download stuff from the US/other countries in the Market if you download "MarketEnabler" and fake your provider.
Thanks for the tip. Didn't know that. ^^

Hello xda-developers.com users. I am curently buying amazon kindle fire for my self (It is being shipped already). As I seen on many videos the the Amazon android version is fast, but has not many optios, the market had not so many apps. So the best option for me would be to make it and android tablet. So I want to know from the guys who already rooted kindle fire give me some instruction how to install CM7 on kindle fire? I found a lot of information, but don`t realy know from what to start. Do I need to root/how to root/how to install cm7 and a lot of other questions. Thank you and hopefully someone will reply. Thank you!
Nobody who knows about this? I really need help.

Browse around in the device's section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1306. The "Sticky" threads should be quite helpful.
I was able to flash and install ics. everything works just great! But it seems that I have an issue: When I leave my kindle alone for some time, sometimes it just doesn't want to unlock. I am trying to push the power button and nothing happens. After some time it starts to work again. What could be the cause of this/ how could I fix this?
Still facing this problem
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.

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.

Ah. I misread that then
I have recently bought an Onyx Boox Note. This is an E-Ink device that runs Android 6.0.1. It has a 10.3 inch display, 2 gb of RAM, and 32 gb of internal storage. No sd card slot. There is no custom recovery available for it, to my knowledge. Neither Kingoroot nor Kingroot were able to root it. I have adb access to the Note, however, but not fastboot.
Any suggestions as to what I could try? Let me know if you need more info about the device.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I have achieved root. I used King Root which finally worked after a couple of attempts. I then used the SuperSuMe Pro app to switch myself over to SuperSU. All is well now.

That depends on how you plan to use it. (The price is not out of line if you compare it with an iPad or some similarly sized Android tablet.)
The best answer I can give you is to offer you a checklist of various features. If you can say "yes" to most, if not all, of them, then the Note might be worth the cost for you.
1) Your eyes like E-Ink much more than LED.
2) You want a device light enough for lengthy ebook reading sessions, yet large enough to comfortably read pdfs.
3) You want the ability to install apps of your choice (Instapaper, Moon Reader, Outlook, Office, whatever...)
4) A frontlight is not essential.
5) A sd card slot is not essential.
6) Bluetooth capability is important.
7) Note-taking with a stylus is important to you.
8) Audio capability is useful to you.
9) You find the older crop of E-Ink devices too slow.
There may be other features you may value, but this will do as a general checklist. Then you can see for yourself if the Note is worth the money or not.
Please we need root!!!! I was not able to get root with my firmware!!!!

I bought my device from here.
I don't have OneNote installed on my device. However, if you check out the Onyx threads on Mobileread, you'll find reports that there is a significant lag when someone takes notes with OneNote, or any third party app. The stock Note app works much better - but that doesn't help you, unfortunately.
I don't use the note-taking functions very much, other that annotations and the like on pdfs.

The Android applications for taking notes are not ready for this device yet (if they use the Note's SDK, that will be much different history), they have a lot of lag, but instead you can use the built in note application and the is like writing in paper.
I use it to read book and the web.
Need help
Guys, thanks a lot for answers. Actually I need an e-ink device on Android with a big screen and capable to run the app JW Library. But because this devise is new on the market, I am afraid to spent the money (and it is not a cheap one) and discover that it can not run this app smoothly. I have a Kindle Paper White and I love it, but its screen is too small and it is not an Android.
May I ask you guys a favor?
Could someone of you guys to install this app from Google Store and to download just some magazines and books and to try to turn pages, to click on references and to see how it works (the app does not require registration). I think with 2 Gb of RAM and 4 core proc. it should work smoothly as much as the e-ink screen allows, but I am afraid to buy it and discover that this app is too heavy for the Note and its software.
Please, I need a help with this.
Thank you in advance for the help!
P.S.: It would be great if someone could attache a picture of the Note with this app working/opened if it is not too much to ask for.
I might be able to try it tomorrow. One of the main reasons why I bought the Note was its ability to run the Logos Bible Software app - and the Note runs it perfectly. I'll see what I can do about pics. I can attach screenshots as well.
ERASED.
citytrader said:
I did the test, is not like turning pages because the application has the scroll vertical and the experience was smooth (smooth as an eink allows), the experience was like Galaxy TAB S with a display a bit slower than the Galaxy.
This device for reading is really amazing, I believe till now is the best in the market.

After one of the firmware updates, I was unable to get root again. So Onyx must have changed something, which made it harder to root the device. To be honest, I think I lucked out in getting root in the first place!
Yes, you'd think that Marshmallow would have plenty of holes in it! But I haven't seen anyone else get root on a Note, either, since then.
If anyone else reading this has, please tell us how you did it!

Just to confirm what @Windsor1959 encountered that previously I was able to obtain root through Kingroot. Recently I updated the firmware for my Onyx Boox Note and I tried to root again with Kingroot but was not successful.
