I wouldn't have told them I was using a different cable, but yeah they can deny service. Technically, they have to prove that your aftermarket device loosened the port, but I'm sure they've tested it at this point since so many people had the same issue. On the other hand, this also compromises...

I'm having the same problem. I'm on a Galaxy S7 and a Sony Xperia Z2 tablet. Out of curiosity have any of you merged your SD card with your internal memory? The really odd thing is that after I clear my cache of the APK that it originally tried to download from Google play, when I try to...

I usually go here but it seems they're a little thin on z2 tutorials. May want to take a look at the original z tablet, shouldn't be too hard but you'll void any existing warranty and probably compromise the waterproofing. https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Sony_XPERIA_Tablet_Z

Pretty sure I bricked. Tried rolling back to 3.2.8 after all other avenues failed, and it just stalled validating the update for 2 hours. Hard reset, and got stuck on the gray screen. I assume there's nothing I can do at this point, not sure if it's worth going to Amazon with my problems. I...

Did a factory reset from settings instead. Going to root and try again, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the warning, made me reconsider trying rollback before anything else.

For some reason I can't even access or reinstall supersu right now and it seems like it's not working, so I'm going to rollback/forward again and start from a truly clean slate. I'm worried something got borked from trying to get google play working, I'd rather not do something stupid and brick...

I tried this but after clicking install it gets superuser permissions, says installation complete, but then says that the state is not installed and the reboot to safestrap button stays dark. I double checked my firmware, and it says it's update-kindle-xx.4.5.2_user_452004220.bin. I am rooted...

Damn, it allowed me to sign in and then started closing the second I open services, and play gets stuck loading the screen. I'm going to try to safestrap the nexus rom.

This completely solved the problem, I was getting the same issue while trying to redo the install with terminal emulator. Signing in to Google now. Thanks a ton!

I'll give this a shot this evening, likely the issue.

Absolutely. I've been trying to get the full potential out of this thing for ages, ive rolled it back and tinkered with it since I got it. In the mean time I'll keep plugging away at this, but the level of consistency from device to device seems relatively terrible on these tablets when it...

I followed your instructions to the T, but ADB kept saying all files were in a read-only directory. Do I need to start with an additional command to fix that before doing the 0644 commands? I ended up manually setting permissions for every single file and double checked twice in ES File...

I can't stress enough how completely ****ed these instructions are. This thread needs to be closed and a new TUT with current files and explicit instructions needs to be added. There are 5 different options in the optional/gms folder, and nobody has specified which will work for apollo, and...

This worked the first time for me. Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!

Thank you so much for this. After trying literally everything else, this is the only thing that worked, and worked the first time.

I gave up on using earlier versions, and I've been using the latest one. I'll try this method and let you know how it works. Thanks for the advice!

As of the latest update, It's still up and still hasn't completed. Almost 30 minutes, which doesn't make sense for a ~800MB file. If it doesn't work after I've waited for 20-40 minutes I've started over rather than pushed forward. If I have to flash a custom recovery or sidestrap, I'm game. I...

When you say "kindleupdate.bin" so we need to actually insert the name of the .bin file that we are using? I'm wondering if that's the reason that the permissions issues are occuring. I've followed this several times verbatim, only copying the actual filename and path where indicated in your...

I downgraded, then upgraded to to 14.4.5.2 successfully. Rooted successfully. Had trouble getting Google Play to work. At some point after trying numerous avenues, I rebooted, and got stuck at the animated bootscreen. Not the grey one. Device is an HDX 8.9, 32GB, wifi only. I have ADB access...

Thank you so much for this, been wanting to get back to the previous version so I can root again.

So if I'm already hosed with 4.5.3 (apollo), is there an easy way to get back to 4.5.2 without calling amazon and asking them to roll me to one of the 3.8 versions? I apologize for asking dumb questions but I have searched all over and I can't seem to find anything that helps.

Is there any hope for my apollo that auto updated to 4.5.3 or is all the attention focused on thor? I'm desperate to get root just to get google play back on my hdx 8.9". It's not looking good right now without going through a pain in the rear rollback.

That may be what happened. I clicked on them and it wanted to put some downloader/installer on my laptop. Time to revoke my wife's admin rights. I just assumed it was a bad link.

Sorry it took so long to get to this. My son threw a rattle and broke my new laptop screen. Sent for repair. Went on vacation. Came back and finally got around to trying your fix. I didn't have any trouble with the commands you gave me for CMD, but the update still failed. The log file is...

Just a heads-up, your links are now full of malware.

Thanks a ton, I'll try this tonight and let you know how it works.

I rooted my HDX 8.9 with the .94 toolkit and towelroot. Loved it for awhile, but there are stability issues I've noticed, and I want to get the new OTA update. I'm running 14.3.2.4. For the last 3 days I've tried to install the update. Here's what I tried: Toolkit to enable OTA (says it was a...

My phone was unrooted, getting constant reboots as well since the update. Oddly, my random reboots started a few days before I did the system update, I figured updating it would have a good chance of fixing it. This is just infuriating, especially while listening to music or using navigation...
