TWRP flashable stock images

[Koile]

Try changing the mount-state for "system" in TWRP, that did the trick for me.
And having the newest version of TWRP caused some trouble too in some occasions.

If you followed instructions in this thread and device was previously stable I doubt the unlock was done incorrectly or is influencing the symlink errors. Likely FireOS is being a bird of a different feather (again) along with a possible permissions issue as you surmised.

I finally was able to flash the stock rom if downloaded directly to the tablet. I was using mtp to transfer the zip file from my pc and for some reason these zip files from the stock roms were more sensitive than the one from other roms.

I had same issue when moving back from LineageOS 14.1 to stock rom 4.5.5.2 and I think it's not related to mtp transfer. Update always stopped with that symlink error no matter if image was transferred with mtp or downloaded from web. I found out that flashing CM12 first and then without booting the device flashing the modified TWRP compatible stock rom, the update process goes thru successfully. Then I wiped all other partitions except System (& External partition). After booting the FireOS for the first time you might need to skip the Kindle Fire registration, otherwise it might end up into endless loop that keeps asking for language settings for device all and all over again. If that happens you can wipe all partitions except System again with TWRP and boot -> set language -> skip Kindle Fire registration -> you have working device again. You can register your device afterwards without any problems.

My TWRP version is 3.0.3-1

No luck with Prime Instant Videos

I keep getting Unknown_Error and License_Error. Any idea how to fix? I read someone said something about trying Amazon Underground but doesn't show as compatible with my Fire HDX. I installed this ROM to a Thor LTE model with unlocked bootloader and TWRP.

These are old images that are no longer maintained. You'd be better off going with a custom ROM and using Underground to get Amazon specific content.

Hi,
quick Question, where did you get the stock ROM from?
I tried 2 version available here but both do not play prime video in full HD only in HD.
Something seems to be broken as downloading and playing in full HD works.
It's not a 100% dealbreaker but as the display is still stellar it would be a pitty.

The repackaged zips in the OP if this thread are the latest available that have been tested in the wild. You can also try a different build here (link toward bottom of post) but I would expect a similar result. I don't know if FireOS v4 supported full HD streaming from the integrated Amazon app. We're going back 2-3 years when HD streams was still the norm for mobile devices.

With real stock 4.5.5.2 the videos were played in full HD!
Did someone tried to upHDX a 4.5.5.2 ROM?
Or is there a way to use TWRP to flash real stock ROM?
Saw some thraeds that it dowes not work right away as the device is now a cm_thor and not a thor... -)
As Kingroot works now gapps should be no issue.

The procedure/tools to create a flashable "real" stock 4.5.5.2 ROM are discussed in post #77 of this thread. That said, I'm not sure this will solve your problem as untouched HDX devices running stock FireOS seem to possess some unique capabilities relative to video playback. I'm sure the mystery is solvable for someone willing to invest the time/effort to peal back the onion.

As for achieving a reliable/stable GAapps install on FireOS v4 - good luck. Yes, it is possible to get the Play Service/Store working but I have yet to encounter someone who has achieved that without expending considerable time/effort on initial setup and/or ongoing maintenance. FireOS v5 has proven to be a much friendlier host to a full or pared down GAaps install. Unfortunately, v5 is not currently an option on this device.

Original poster is no longer active in this thread. Which build are you looking for (Apollo or Thor)?

 

[moonsoo]

Gapps seems to work quite good.
If I extract the amazon prime video app to an apk file.
Is there a way to install it to another android tablet?
I have a Samsung tab S2 but it dows not work as it is not compatible.
I know there is a version for shield tablet with full HD capability...

Someone has will plan upload last 4.5.5.3 Repacked ROM? Just in case if custom rom's doesnt work fine for my daily driver, with fireOS4 i almost covered all the missing things, versus a stock rom, but always fun try custom roms.

Unlikely anyone has repackaged 4.5.5.3. Best fallbacks are flashable FireOS 4.5.2 or Fire Nexus KTU84Q (preferred). You can also backup your current FireOS install from TWRP.
