Good eveing-
I'm not sure where to start. I have a kindle fire HDX 7, and just attempted to root the device yesterday. I was able to roll back to 3.2.8, then upgrade to 4.5.2 and successfully root the device. Everything was good.
I then toyed around with a few methods to install GAPPS. With each method, if I didn't achieve the desired results, I would factory reset, rollback to 3.2.8, upgrade to 4.5.2, root... etc. A process which I went through 3 or 4 times just to try and get access to the google play store. The final method was to use the steps layed out In This Thread, which is where my current problem started.
I was not able to get the play store working correctly. I then attempted to do a factory reset, and **** hit the fan. Upon reboot, I was greeted by the stock android welcome screen, asking me to select a language, and giving me the option to make an emergency call. My best guess is something in the "system" folders/files in the gapps zip doesn't jive with FireOS. From the provided setup screen, I am able to select a language and hit next, and then it takes me through to the FireOS wireless setup screen - and that's where things come to a halt. The process won't advance, the device is somewhat functional.. I can pull down the menu from the top, I can infact authenticate to wireless, I can fully access settings, I made a MAYDAY call... But I cannot get to a home screen. In theory - I believe this to be a "soft brick" as it doesn't do anything.. Though the operating system, is running.
I was toying around in ADB trying to get it to push the 3.2.8 bin image to /storage/emulated/0/, but it wasn't cooperating. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that the stock USB cable won't work, and I need to order a Fastboot cable? Any truth to this?
I'm just looking for some direction here if anyone has any advice. Amazon said they won't replace it - so I'm kinda stuck at this point.
Any help is much appreciated!

Hi - thank you for that link. Am I to take one of the Kindle setup bin's and rename it to an apk?
Just a little vague on the instructions.
NM - I'm following it now.. Didn't realize someone else had my problem. Hoping this works - will tune back once confirmed!
You saved my kindle - thank you!
Hi, I need your help PZ.

For anyone who stumbles upon this post ...
Cables DO make a difference but a 'fastboot' cable is not necessarily the solution. HDX models do not respond to fastboot cables in the same way most other android devices do; they are effectively useless on this device for recovery purposes. However, a crappy cable can create all sorts of havoc, both with data transfer and charging. Whenever a tether isn't working as expected one of the first troubleshooting steps is to switch cables. Visually it is hard to tell the difference between a good/bad cable so you may have to go through a few. Fastboot cables are generally constructed to higher standards which may fool some HDX users into thinking that was the solution. More likely any high-quality USB cable would have done the trick.
I have solved this problem.

Welcome to my tutorial !
You can find others tutorials related to the Cube i6 :
Install windows 10
Install Android 4.4.4 (Stock & RemixOS)
I received the magnificent AllDoCube i6 Air 3G last week, and i've been struggling since to get updates,
firmware flashing and all of that working, I searched the whole web and the drivers/Firmwares are nowhere to find,
but on some chinese proxy-needed sites sometimes, or baidu which is a pain in the a** to download from.
So I decided to share the ways to update this tablet at all costs (heh, no worries, -NORMALLY- it wont brick)
Disclamer: This process might contain ROM hacking, this is for advanced users.
THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN TESTED ON i632GB1537XXXXXXX MODEL, AND WORKS ON IT,
WHEREAS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT i632GB1522XXXXXXX MODEL BRICKED UPON DOING IT,
SO PLASE DO IT CAREFULLY, IF THE INSTALL VERSION IS 202 YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE TRIYING AS IT COULD BRICK!
Software included may be subject to copyright.
Flash your device at your own risk. Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
What you need:
Cube i6 Air (3G or Wifi)
Flash Drive (256Mo +)
OTG cable
USB Hub (3 Ports recommended)
EFI BIOS Firmware
DOWNLOAD THE FIRMWARE BEFORE STARTING SO EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE WHEN YOU DO IT
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8YPw4HjmqNCZktOZy1OTEN2ZVE&usp=sharing
Get on the drive, go to your device folder, select the wanted version inside BIOS folder
What to do :
1.) Start by plugging the usb drive into your computer, and format it to FAT32 using any formatting tool
2.) Now you need to uncompress the downloaded firmware :
you will find a "Firmware_X.X.X" folder inside, take all of its content, and extract it to your freshly formatted drive.
here's what looks like the root of your usb:
3.) Your USB Drive is ready, now just plug the OTG cable to your tablet, plug your HUB onto that OTG
and fill it with your keyboard and the USB Drive just created.
4.) Press power button until you see the screen backlight, when you see it repeatidely smash "Esc" key on the connected keyboard.
You will see the bios 6 square configuration screen.
Hit "Boot Manager" and select your USB in the list.
5.) The tablet should now boot from your USB, booting to a UEFI Shell. Depending on your device, it might be either 64 or IA32.
Now you just let startup.nsh script do the firmware flashing init, it should drive you to a flashing BIOS screen.
6.) Follow instructions on screen and let the tool flash your BIOS automatically.
Once done, the tablet will shut down.
Congrats! You successfully updated your BIOS !
It is my first tutorial, i will post some photos of steps in the future so come back, the guide will be better soon !
Regards,
Max.
Hi,
I have bought the Cube i6 Air 3G a week ago and i'm still waiting for it to arrive.
Have you update the win 8.1 to win 10?
Does everything works correctly?
Regards
re
Hi, I successfully updated the BIOS as of now,
I changed the bootloader animation to nexus one on Cube ROM.
I also manager to boot on Android x86 but it had too many drivers issues.
Still, 4.4.4 stock cube is working and i reflashed to a new partition scheme of 9Go
and i'm currently testing some win10 pen drives for install, will keep you updated.
Édit: oh you were asking about thé tablet? Weil jack has default, charging takes hours, glass is plastic, firmware is pain but hell this is a goodamn good tablet for its price !
regards,
Max

I achieved installing Win10 x32 Pro on Cube i6 Through hacking WinPE installation environnement, but now i'm struggling finding the drivers. touchscreen, battery and vital things like hd graphics are not working as of now. Will post a tutorial on how to install Win10 in given time when i'll get out of this mess!
My tablet has arrived yesterday.
From what the little i've used it, it has good performance especially in android.
A lot faster compared to my last android tablet (Cube U39GT).
Something i didn't like was the size of the icons and text in android, my next step is to root and change the dpi.
Regarding windows 10, i found in a chinese tablets blog with win 8 and 10 drivers.
I haven't tested it, but as soon as i find it again, i will let you know where to download them from.
You haven't tried the normal win 10 upgrade? From the microsoft icon?

I did not try anything as i like "stock" versions of my windows, but tonight i got it working all the way !
My cube i6 is running perfectly windows 10 and oh my god what a paradise it is ! The tablet experience got way better onto that version.
Can you try to update from the icon you are talking about ? i'd be curious if it works. anyway, i'm currently writing+uploading for the win10
tutorial for this tablet, so you'll be able to flash it late tonight, or tomorrow.
EDIT: The dpi is correct in android, only the status bar icons and some other are not in correct dpi but that is KitKat issue I guess. still interested in resolving that though. I'm currently hacking android lollipop ROM also, i'll keep you tuned on that. For rooting, i used KingRoot, it worked, but after a reboot, it tells me "root" is wrecked, so i guess there is some investigation to do there, but I was mainly focused on getting windows 10 ENGLISH STOCK version running to share it with you guys.
EDIT2: Still uploading, but tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/guide-how-to-install-windows-10-t3252042 and it should work on any Z37xx powered device. Enjoy !
Hello,
I'm using this tablet from 2 days now. great !
But, i got wifi problem after sleep : wifi chip cut and never found network anymore.
has to reboot, and all goes right.
same in win and android.
Did you hear about this ? many poeple complain about this.
Any trick or advice ? Is this bios correct this ? Is your bios work on i6 3g dual-boot ? (there is 2 bios for dual boot ?...)
Thanks !
Hi,
I've also have the same problem with the wifi.
I usualy disconnect the wifi and reconnect it, but sometimes it doesnt work and have to reboot the tablet.
I've not noticed it in windows but maybe it's because i'm using the tablet a lot more in android.
I've tryed to update to win 10 using the microsoft icon, but i got an error and was unable to complete the upgrade.

Hello, i have such a tablet for now about 6 Months and it is awesome so far (i often use win8.1).
My Tablet has also DUAL Boot with Android 4 and win 8.1 Bing.
I tried to upgrade to win10 but i also got a message that the partition can not be resized by windows. So i cant upgrade to win 10 with the normal tool from microsoft.
Is there any Solution yet to get this to work?
Anyway, i tried to boot from usb (win8.1 / ubuntu / gparted) but it is not working at all. When i try to boot true windows Advanced Boot Options, the BIOS says that there is no USB device.
When i use the EFI Shell to mount the USB Stick i can see that the BIOS has recognized the USB Stick.
I think that is all very strange, but i will try to update the BIOS soon. The serialnumber is not the same as from @stalker2106 but i will try it.
I hope there is a way to get win 10 working, but Ubuntu would be even better for performance.
Greetings from Germany.

Check windows 10 Post, there is no need to update BIOS to fix this error, your USB has to be in GPT partition style, check answer on the other thread
But usually the bios update should work, as it did on my tablet. But why bother taking risk if you can get it working without it
Hi,
I have sucessfully updated to win10
I have bios 203 in my cube and serial i632gb1510xxxxxxxxxxx, does anybody have tried to update to 206 on such setup ?
What are the chances that I will brick my device ?
I have downloaded latest Cube i6 roms from cube site (may 2015) . There are two bios-es which have to be installed in chronological order.
Shall I do it first, and then try to update to 206 ?
Edit: I was not patient and tried it on my own.I have successfully updated bios and tablet has started to both android and windows
I will perform some functional tests afterwards.
Actual steps :
I have first downgraded bios to 201(provided here )
Flashed bios1 from link provided
Flashed bios2 from link provided
Flashed bios 206 from guide in first post
Edit2:
I have tested basic functionalities like : Gyro-sensors, WIFI, GPS, 3G network and yet everything works like charm.
Maybe a placebo, however I have the feel that android runs like two times faster
I do suggest to update the windows, however I take no responsibility if you will brick your device. Even if the setup is like mine, neither if it differs
Regards
Why do you first downgrade to 201?
What do you mean with bios1 and bios2?
Many thanks and question
Hello Stalker,
I am new here and i want to
thank you for the instructions!
I bought a cube i6 from china.
It is the 'i6 air remix',
So it should have only Android on it.
When it arrived. it didn't function.
The only think that happens is booting to theEFI-shell.
I could switch between Android and Windows in the boot settings.
But Android did not boot.
I have updated the bios with your instructions
now firmware 2.0.6 is installed.
But still i can not boot Android.
I found a few flash tools and android for the cube i6 .
But i don’t know what is the right version flash tool I have to use.
Maybe you have advise or the right android and flash tool in your google drive download area?
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

The truth is, the 206 BIOS provided is hacked off i6 remix repository from cube, so i guess there is no big deal flashing it on your device as it works on regular i6.
Moreover, you can use any version of the flash tool as long as you flash a correct rom for your device, which i would suggest to download from official cube repository or geekbuying or so.
Android Geecbuying
Hello Stalker,
Ok. Thank you!
I will try Geecbuying.
Hopefully the windows drivers will function.
There isn't a way to flash from USB I suppose?
Greetings
Hi, well, actually, you should flash over USB with à windows computer. MFT by Intel is recommended. I shall make some tutorial about Android installation and partition resizing.
flash and resize partitions
That is super. When you want to do so.
I was indeed wondering or there would be one android partition on the tablet or two partitions (one for android, one for windows).
I also questioned myself how to see that there are partitions.
In earlier times when I was working with a pc, i use F-disk or partition-magic for this kind of work.
But on the tablet I do not have a clue...
So if you could make me wiser on this, I would be very thankful.
Maybe you could boot on some gparted liveusb? Or inside efi shell some commands could help

no particular reason, I just wanted to know, which version of bios is in the latest firmware provided by geekbuying
Additional condition in my decision mechanism was that my serial did not match mentioned ones in w10 thread from stalker, so somehow I have used sleepy sloopy logic and tried to minimalize the risk (I know it have no rational reason and logic behind it at all)
Therefore, I tried the ones from geekbuying repository, to be sure to have latest provided from "official source".

Does anybody have detailed tutorial how to unbrick the box ?
Thanx in advance.
I am in your very same situation. Tried the sd card burning method and also the usb one, but no success at all. Hope there is some solution.

There might be a hardware change for those boxes, the Nexus ROM TV Stock thread has pics on what changed. Best to watch that thread since a solution might be posted soon
I am in the same situation. I tried the sd card burning method and also by the usb cable, but no success at all.
I have got m8s pro+ 2/16gb s905x, The device was purchased on the gearbest website.
some news from my yesterday fight:
sd card burning - many variants of rom, after restart, but on the mainboard there was not observed the reset button, only place named "k1" -> I soldered two points from "k1 place" to make a reset
after that
try by male-male usb cable and usb burning tool 2.0.8, Error result: [0x10105002]Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error
I tried 4 different firmware's, and the same happens every time. Can anyone suggest something?
I can copy whole error if it can help determine the problem.
found on the internet
Romcode / Initialize DDR / Read initialize status / USB Control setup error
-> An error occurs when memory chips do not match. Firmware with ubut for some, but sew on others. It remains to ask the seller about the original firmware: (or shovel (look) available.

Unbrick the M8S Pro+ 2/16
Hi everyone,
I know how you're guys feel... Is there any new idea or suggestions to unbrick the devices?
After OTA Update the box only shows red and blue at the same time, no boot, no detection of windows with reset button or / with holding the circuit shortcut at "K1".
Can't believe that Amlogic is even worse than the Rockchip boxes to unbrick...

if any dev could help me root this and get custom recovery would be great.

I found various firmware downloads, but need to know the exact type of firmware you are running.
Example of one I found: rct6603w47m7-android6.0-v23-v2.15.80 (<-- underlined part is what matters)
If you boot into recovery, it should show you the type of firmware you have.

Had the same issue also I came across a bunch of ota test files on a Chinese site but links were dead and because no ota update is available i can't grab the ota url or file name. So ended up hitting a dead end.
Would it be possible to bypass the activation code screen with cwm or twrp? Or maybe put a different version of android on the tablet, other than marshmallow.?

Additional files attached maybe someone can build me cwm or twrp for this as i could never get anything to build for mtk devices.

I've got the RCT6603W47M7 tablet, but here in the UK it goes by the name of RCA Neptune 10.1L.
Problem is I have bricked it and I am now trying to recover it using SP Flash Tools. I have tried 2 different stock ROMs, only to have nothing but errors and interruptions during flashing. (errors 2004 and 4008). My tablet is fully charged yet it will randomly disconnect during flashing. I've tried both the MTKAllInOne.bin and DA_SWSEC.bin but I still get the same problem either way.
I've tried different USB ports, different cables and the two download agents that I just mentioned but I am stumped.
I wanted to try the ROM found here https://www.needrom.com/download/rca-rct6603w47m7/
But as I don't have a premium account I cannot access it.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating.

Thank you for your reply, I was worried that this discussion was dead. That's frustrating to say the least! Damn! Well, I don't know if this will work but I found another device that is also a MT8127 and has exactly the same spec of this tablet. My point being is that I found a TWRP image for that device, and because it's the same chip set I assume that it'll work for this device too?
If I can get my bricked tablet to even turn on I shall try it. It also makes me wonder that if we were able to root the device, would we be able to access the internal storage by normal means? By using the micro USB ? Either way it'd be great to have it rooted.
I stayed up all night last night trying to flash this tablet and still no luck, it keeps disconnecting half way through.
Hello all I am looking for some assistance. I attempted to root my Kindle Fire HD 6 4th Gen according to this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/2017-root-kindle-fire-hd-6-4th-gen-t3677600
I followed all of the steps and did not have any issues until the very end. The only step that was slightly modified was Step 15. Here I changed the extension as it says, but also changed the file name (I shortened it). I continued to follow all of the remaining steps and upon rebooting (step 20), the device does not turn back on. I am left with a black screen and no signs of life. I have tried booting with various button combinations, but no luck.
I have also tried to recover the device with a pre-made live linux iso (I cant find the link). Through the python script provided with the bootable linux iso, I was able to extablish a serial connection to the device, but the python script then hangs and the device remains with a black screen.
This is not me first time rooting a device, I have had great luck with various phones for years. However, it is looking like this tablet may be bricked.
Can anyone provide advice/guidance on alternative methods of recovery? I have read about a fastboot cable and saw some mention of an OTG cable...
Thanks you for help/advice in advance

Hi,
Nice brick dude. You can't talk with serial since you have newer preloader
You only way to unbrick it is with bootROM but no one ported amonet to mt8135
Sell it for parts or save it (maybe some day somebody ports amonet)
Regards.
Post #98 makes a comment about the Kindle 8 having the same chipset and AMONET.

Any chance this is the port?
Anywhere else I can look?
Anyone?
