That's actually your build number, which is fine. You need to look at your system version. It should be something like 6.11.744.XT910 or something along those lines.
Check that and report back.
the version is 651.73.19.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU

you don't have an update yet.
The recent update for the XT910 was only for the 651.73.15, .16, .17, .18 versions.
It looks like Bulgaria is not on the list, and it might be because of the language on the phone.
The update was recent, December 31st, so you may see it being sent OTA soon, but for now, it looks like you're up to date.
Thanks.So for now I cant put any roms ?
Hi, Just received my new Razr today in U.K. Had OTA update to 651.73.30.en.eu. All downloaded fine.
Cheers.

No, you should be able to still put ROM's on there.
Just to make sure, you're rooted, right??
I believe there are no fastboot files yet for the .19 version, at least that's what I was reading, so instead of just straight loading a ROM on top of this, I would go the safestrap route. This will allow you to load a secondary ROM and access both.
My understanding is while the .18 & .19 versions are different, they're not so different it will block you from loading a ROM.
It should be the same process as ever, root, safestrap, then enable safestrap mode, and flash the ROM.
If you get an error, report back and let me know what it is, and I MIGHT be able to help you through it.

Follow the downgrade instructions, root it, bootstrap it and use all the roms you want. I think that's what you need to do.
I need help rooting this tablet. The Proscan plt4311-pl is a small tablet running Android 4.0. I have tried OneClickRoot and SuperOneClick, neither worked. I am new to this but I would love to have full control over my tablet and install a custom ROM. Can someone please help me and put it in terms that a newbie can understand!
root proscan plt4311
This is a MIPS based tablet. (Actions 7013 based). Most apps and binaries are made for ARM. That is why the tools you mentioned didn't work. I think there is a list keeping track of what apps work and/or have been ported over at the Ainol Novo 7 basic threads.
I managed to get root access, but there's many steps involved, and honestly I'm gonna have to go back and figure exactly what I did after I get some rest but below are the tools&links and some basic instructions.
******OOps, guess I can't post links as a new user. type freetexthost.com/xvfjzr1ltq into your browser for my notes on rooting the Proscan Plt4311*********
******Edit #2: I soft bricked it trying to install ICS gapps. I re-flashed the firmware and rooted the tablet again, much quicker this time. And I managed to get play store and some other apps going. I should have a ready made script after work tommorow for you and all the other Big Lots bargain shoppers who bought this tablet (I got mine for $40!)

Just got mine on sale for $17.99 on Newegg Flash, came in the mail today. It's still doing the first charge on my 3A, shouldn't take long (no devil emote?) Can't wait to see what you devs can do for this thing! Although it is MIPS I'm sure simple apps and roms will run fine, but ARM is still preferable. But hey, it was $18. What do you expect?

I use the term "devs" very loosely here. Basically anyone willing to work on it. The first thing I'm gonna do is try to get into Recovery, and from there you could theoretically root it, install Gapps, etc.

Still no luck here with rooting, all I got so far was the Google Apps package in.
You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed
Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed
Baidu: No information
Vroot: No information
Gingerbreak: This app can root almost all gingerbread devices

Hey,
I am about to get a new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 64gb tomorrow and I'm already checking how to root the tablet and get all the Gapps up and running.
Unfortunately there are still a few things which are a little bit confusing for me at the moment:
1. Which is the best way to make sure that the Kindle Fire does not install an OTA update on its own? I mean it can not be the solution to keep the tablet in airplane mode all the time, that is ridiculous! I read about several ways to block OTA updates, installing a firewall, changing a value in the build.prop or renaming a certain file in den /system/ folder. Which way has to be proven to be the best way?
2. After gaining root I will install Safestrap and flash the official Amazon Rom to a slot. Is there a size for the Rom partition which is recommended? I have seen Safestrap now supports up to 16gb.
3. After booting the Amazon Rom from a Safestrap slot, can you do an OTA update or will this affect the whole system?
4. Can someone please point me to the correct and latest version Gapps for the 8.9" model (Apollo)?
I'm pretty sure I will come up with more questions tomorrow, but that's for now!
Thanks for your help ...

Welcome. Chances r u will receive the,or close to, the latest ota. That being said there currently is no root.. An earlier version of fire was rootable but quickly fixed by Amazon. We r all in same boat. For now spend the next couple days getting caught up on this forum while playing withbur new toy.

Once you complete the process to make dual-system (both Gapps and Amazon) the HDXposed module will block updates.

It seems to be known the Xposed mod doesn't block updates. If you want the tab for the specs but also as close as possible to a stock android experience. I would recommend how I did it with SS on both stock and rom slot, airplane moding the stock slot and never going back there unless necessary. Also try to rename the files and if possible try to mod the build if you think fit.
Just my 0.02.

Same as kschang with same version of Google+ (latest version). HDX 7 with 13.3.1.0 firmware. It's run fine with Cpasjuste's ROMs (both the Thor Gapps and the AOSP ROMs) as well as stock ROM with Cpastjuste's Gapps zip installer.
Hi
I've also got HDX 8.9 14.3.1.0 Apollo. How did you get supersu installed?
I've got the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
The author recommends installing through Google Play.
But if I turn off airplane mode I'll get updated, so I can't do that.
Other option is to install supersu through CWM, TWRP or MobilOdin.
But they also require Google Play to install.
I'm on linux. What should I do?

First off yes the all in one will root your tab
Do the rescue backdoor script in the a.i.o
Then apply the notification patch to stop the update notification
You cant flash or install a diff os on these tabs both the sts and xts are locked down tight but there seems to be good head way with booting from the sd card on the sts
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH JB TO THE STS YOU WILL BRICK IT

Thank you so much!
Can you fill me in on what headway or a link for booting from the SD card, I really, really hate the OS this tablet has, but if it is not possible I dont know if I should bother risking it.
Honestly, I hate what sony did with this tablet, especially given the price I paid for it when it came out.
Oh never mind, I found it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-tablet-s/general/sony-tablet-s-sys2sd-boot-sd-card-t2818649, it looks like it is just a softboot loader for extra protection, sad I cannot use J.B. , hopefully someone will figure out how to fake an authentic update to get people out of I.C.S.
Oh well, I may as well root it just in case, the modded playstore is at least worth it.
@ragehavoc @dex9mm
What exactly does the modded Android Market / Google Play give you? You cannot download things without payment.
Do you mean, just access to APP's that are only available to certain geographic regions?
I haven't flashed / rooted a device in 3 years. Last two were HTC devices.
For the sake of an example, take me as an idiot, who cannot understand the abbreviated chatter I see everywhere, with no reference to what anything means - could you please point me to 2-3 articles that have a DETAILED list of steps and screenshots for what needs to be done to get the Bootloader sorted, plus everything else, and then flash 4.1 OS?
or, am I stuck on 4.0.3 forever, regardless of root/stock?
Thank you!

Hey yea your stuck on 4.0, sorry its the long and the short of it
The modded play store is where you can see every app or set the device to mimic an other device and see apps that are only available to said device
Do not flash jb to your device you will brick it

I'm very curious about this as well. Picked up a HDX and it's running Fire OS 4.5.1. I tried one approach I found online but it was from Jan so it may not apply to Fire OS 4.5.1.
I have heard people ask Amazon to roll back their HDX to a V3.x version. Do you think this would allow me to root the HDX 7" 3rd gen? My goal is to install CyanogenMod or some other rom on my HDX.
I just bought 2x THOR devices from AMAZON (16Gb and 64GB) both had an very old build from last year. perfectly rootable.
What build version do you have? Mine has 4.5.1 which apparently is not rootable. What root method did you use (towelroot?)?

I am a Linux user and have a rooted Nexus 5 but this damned thing has me confused for some reason.
Just so I am clear. There is no way to sideload apk's without being rooted. Is that correct? All I really want to do is install Bubble so that I can connect to my media server. DLNA clients in the app store either don't work or won't play FLAC. Ugh!

You can still sideload APKs through ADB or a file manager. You just need to enable apps from unknown sources in the settings.

Maybe it's me (I said I was confused). How can I side load when the file system is mounted read only? Only root can remount. /data/app and /system/app are both locked. (Fire OS 4.5.2).
@eyeconic
In short:
You need no Root for installing a transfered .apk
Maybe you think, that you have to copy (adb push?) an installed App from Device1 to Device2?
You are transfering an .apk(!) to your KF. Not to System! Just copy to SD/Internal. Use a Filemanager, click the transfered .apk and Installer is starting doing his work, e.g. creating /data/app/FILE_DIRECTORY and much more. Do you need Root for this? No, just tick the right Option like said here before

I'm an idiot. Something about the Kindle caused temporary imbecility. Thanks and I am fully recovered.
Just as an FYI, I just bought a 64gb 4G LTE Fire HDX 7 from Amazon on 12/8/14 and it came with version 13.3.2.1. It has a build date of Feb 6, 2014. I've kept it in airplane mode so far until I can catch up reading and learn how to root it and see what direction I want to go with it.
I'm curious to see how the Fire OS works, but I don't want to risk it updating on me in the background.

You can easily root and disable over-the-air updates with the HDX Toolkit.

Yep, I read all that last night and seem to be setup!
@BlueLghtning I have a 7" HDX that is running Fire OS 4.5.2. Know of any technique to root this one? Towelroot didnt work nor did one other method I found online. I'm new to the HDX and wonder why my FireOS version (4.5.x) is so different from many users here (13.X)? Did they change their version numbers?
