    Thread Noob - advice needed please!

    I'm getting a Fire HD10 delivered tomorrow. I've read through a lot of threads on here but so many seem to be dealing with the hd8 & non root solutions & some seem to contradict each other or have been made outdated due to new solutions etc & my heads spinning a bit! I want to root it...

    Good man for trying! There's no way I could afford to buy another right now (not currently working) so couldn't take the risk myself, at least I can go ahead & root again now!

    Mine did the same. Picked it up to start reading, then got a text & replied on my phone, as I did so the Nook switched itself off, then back on with an updating message. The big difference is I still have my apps installed, but no root access. If I click on SuperSU It says 'There is no SU...

    This is gonna sound daft, but I thought I had an issue with phantom touches, but then realised it was happening only when I was holding the reader with my left hand at the bottom. I hadn't realised how sensitive the 'n' button was or how much surface area it covered, & part of my thumb was...

    If that 'loading' screen is normal then that's fine, I can live with it, just wanted to check it didnt suggest a possible problem with any script I'd used or anything. I did that xposed module that did the long press 'n' as a glowlight toggle, but I wanted to use Xposed edge as well to add a...

    Well thanks to this thread, that rooting script & zerolab I have a brilliant ereader that does everything my old nook ST glowlight did but is way way better. I do have a couple of issues that someone may be able to help with though. When I reboot the nook says 'loading' & stays on that screen...

    Post Released - Fire OS 5.6.0.1

    I rolled back from 5.6.0.1 I got this as a gift so had little choice but to switch it on & show willing & of course it updated. Whilst looking into it I found the rollback tool, then when I went to use it the tablet was already on 5.6.0.1. However as it was well within warranty & I know...

    Post Fire 7 (2017, 7th Gen) Downgrade and Debloat

    Th kindle app is still there, I found it listed on es file Explorer but it on start, just hangs on 'syncing account'. I'm sure there'd be a way to fix this (& the alexa app which also won't start at all), but I don't know it. Gmail works fine once you manage to get it stay open long enough to...

    There's no need to to do it, but it dramatically improves the performance.

    Post Now Patched :( Amazon Fire Utility/Tool Bloat Removal

    I downgraded to 5.4 from 5.6, you can do it using the guide on here somewhere, think it's the in fire 8 subforum but works fine. Just do that, then run this tool.

    Just to confirm, I've just done the downgrade on a 5.6.0.1 7th gen Fire (UK amazon bought) with no issues. I'd already installed the google parts & linked my google account, & switched to Nova using Hijack, all which stayed after the downgrade (I didnt factory reset first). I did switch the...

    My ideal would be a pure android tablet, & tbh & would have never chosen this, but I love my wife, she truly meant well & if I can make it 'liveable' before replacing it in six months time or so using some story about a bargain used device or some such thing it won't hurt her feelings. I wasn't...
