Hi, can someone please try out Kingo root in an HD 8 (2017) running FireOS 5.6.1.0? It'll not work likely but it could, as it have happened before. thanks!
I have 5.6.0.0 and it doesn't work.
It works on the HD 10, I just did it.

Yep- still not able to root. I just tested it (before I read the responses). There is no way to root HD 8 as of yet as far as I know

That was a great idea, though! I never would have thought about it until seeing your suggestion. This community doesn't give up on anything it seems, so it's just a matter of time.

Definitely! We just have to try harder. Look at the storm DirtyCOW created, it's definitely just a matter of time until this gets rooted. We are going to root this device as we rooted the millions before.

I hope so. I may know a thing or two about unrootable devices. I had the Galaxy S5 Active. I think it finally got root after 3 years. I currently have a Snapdragon Galaxy S7 Edge. It has a root method, however it's unstable.
I wonder why the HD10 got root, though. Shouldn't it be harder to root newer devices? I've almost all but given up on the Android rooting scene. So much harder than it used to be.

HD 10 got root because of a pathetic mistake by Amazon it seems, but now they can't find where the mistake is.

Good point about the HD10. Maybe this could mean Amazon isn't going to bother making their devices such a pain going forward? One can only hope since they seem to be taking over the world

No. The sole reason HD 10 got rooted is that they couldn't find a decent kernel source for that Mediatek chipset. (And they are not clever enough to build one from scratch.) And, it seems, that any device with that Mediatek chipset can be rooted with DirtyCOW.
They don't sell the devices for such a low price compared to other devices for nothing, it's almost as they don't profit by selling the device itself. They earn money by promoting their ecosystem (like Fire Launcher, Appstore) and Special Offers. Maybe Amazon 'will' stop making their devices a pain in the neck, but then the prices are bound to increase drastically.

Quick question... Is everything in here compatible with the new Xoom Family available in Best Buy?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...909487&skuId=3639159&st=xoom family&cp=1&lp=1
I'm not quite sure what the difference is between the original one and the new Family edition, that's why I ask... I don't want to risk bricking my new Xoom
Almost certainly nothing for the original Xoom will work for the Family Media Edition (F-ME for short). This is due to different battery specs. Somebody that is feeling brave/stupid can try to prove me wrong.
the only difference i see is different chassis and the Family edition has an HD IPS screen. which i want to know if it would be possible to replace the hd screen i have with the family edition IPS one.

adb reboot-bootloader can't find device. It appears that adb has been disabled. Turning on with pwr-volUp results in device being seen as needing apx drivers when connected via USB. I'm out of my league with nvflash...

Enabling adb should be a piece of cake after we gain root... My Xoom still doesn't arrive, I'll get it by Friday... I've been thinking; most of the root methods are based on Rage against the cage, I even remember an APK that after installation it rebooted the phone and the phone was rooted... I also realized that having a locked bootloader isn't guarantee that root isn't achievable, 3 months passed before the Atrix 4G's bootloader was unlocked and still we got root before it happened.
I just need to know where to look and I'll do it.

Would you please at least open it and get some Hi Def pictures from inside ?
Many of us are interested about the new IPS screen from this version eventually.
If we will be able to find the manufacturer and read the specs maybe a replacement for our "original" screen will make us the happier Xoom owners ever.

Any feedback? Does it work on ICS update?
Just received my 7 Plus wifi. So far I like it, although there doesnt seem to be a lot of interest from xda or other forums. Since it was just released today, I suppose I need to be a bit patient. This is the closest forum so I am adding this post here.
I really need a root and adhoc fix so I can use it with my ET4G and sell my ipad!. Also I want to hide the status bar. I may dig into it attempting the 10.1 or 8.9 root, but I have a bit of reading to do on it first.

I ordered it expecting it in about 10 more days or so. Lo and behold I got a shipping notice yesterday.
I have read that it uses the tegra2 processor, but I see no evidence of that. And now I attempt to find it on the web and it is nowhere to be seen.
I will definitely work on getting a system dump tonight after work. I might ask for some help onthis.

Thanks, I like it, but I hope development catches on like the acer iconia a100. I would have liked to opt for the 7.7, but I read its not coming to the states and the pricetag will likely be heftier.
I bought it thinking it had a tegra2 but was elated to find it has the exynos.
I think, if I weren't already awaiting the HD SAMOLED+ awesomeness of the 7.7" tab, I'd probably sell my 8.9 now and get a 7 Plus. I've been saying all along that the Exynos is a beast. Tegra2 is a huge disappointment for me...
P.S. I've seen preorders from Expansys and Mobile City of ~$600 - 700 for the 7.7 import. Have my 3G 7.7 preordered now from Expansys. Oh baby! Can't wait!

Agreed, I would LOVE to know if we will get root on the Ultra and Maxx before I buy one of them!
I really hope someone works on root, I would love to get this phone but I need wireless tethering!
Root will end up coming. I believe the verizon moto x will be the same root method.
Unlocked, thats the million dollar question.
I'd like to know if anyone is working on it as well...
I don't necessarily need to be able to do ROMs, but I'd like to get root to see if I can get the AOSP browser on this damn thing. I need the bookmark syncing with Chrome on my PC, but the Chrome app just blows. AOSP browser works perfectly.
I, too, assume it'll be a similar root process as the Moto X since they're almost completely identical. But the SW on the Moto X is even less modified than on our Droids, so that small difference might be part of a significant difference when it comes down to rooting. So far it looks as if you've got to unlock the bootloader of the Moto X via the moto dev site, then flash a rooted kernel. That won't translate to the Ultra because of the different kernel :/
I'm giving it the two weeks that the return policy is for root to arrive. If it isn't available by then I'll eat the $35 restock fee and get myself a 32GB S4 (and go through all the trouble again of transferring phones...). Tethering is far too important to be potentially stuck without it.

Motorola doesn't offer a bootloader unlock for this phone, so we can't go that route yet. It will have to be a real exploit with temp root if /system modifications can't survive reboots.

Took like 9 months to unlock the Razr HD, but you have the potential help of the Moto X to speed things along (All carriers).

Right now you have very, very little chance of getting a root. And about a bootloader unlock. I would more than likely guess that was a one time deal. So if you bought this and are waiting for a root/bootloader unlock. You are going to be disappointed.
I'm sure root will find its way. The unlocked boot loader makes me nervous though. I'm curious if something like safestrap will make its way to these phones. I'm still hoping that the combined attention of the four devices and the popularity of the moto x will get these devices an unlocked boot loader.

I have the s4 which I will dump soon, as I am about 99% sure unlock is not coming.

I usually give all my phones at least 6 months before moving on.
Thinking of going to buy the moto x just for kicks as I never own moto device and the X peeks my interest, I feel I could use it and toss it around and not have to worry about it and it can take it, compared to my HTC one that's like a watch (jewelery.)
Curious to play with the different software, HTC Sense is and always has been favorite, Touchwiz grew on me greatly, and want to check out this moto x. /I usually can't live without root, but I wouldn't be using the phone activated, just to have it.
i'm sure Root will be re shortly .

Yeah the main thing keeping me holding onto this S4 is the fact it has MDK. Otherwise I generally am liking the One better now - though the S4 camera sure can take some great shots and tends to last a bit longer on the battery. The Maxx is pretty awesome... camera is mediocre, but better once you get used to its idiosyncrasies. It's basically pure Android, so if you love sense, you might be bored with it. But if there's any phone that hiccups less than the One, it's this one. Incredibly smooth and snappy experience. And obviously great battery life... Voice controls are pretty cool, too. Not perfect, but still pretty cool

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I thought dirty cow made all phones easier to root? I have to have Arise.
I did read they had locked the bootloader so rooting and custom roms would be a problem. But that might only be for the snapdragon ones. I will need to find out what the situation is because if I can't get my custom roms on it and have things like xposed then I'm simply not interested in it. Luckily I'm in the UK so maybe the exynos version will be ok.
I am also wondering whether the S8 and S8+ use the same bootloader? If they do then the phones are effectively identical in terms of hardware AND software and roms should work on either device?
Although with the price, the crappy battery, and the dishonest way they have seemingly put out battery life numbers which are based on running it at 1080 and NOT its native 1440, simply so they can get a similar comparison to the S7 (which WAS running at 1440), I am wondering whether I should even bother. Although I am not sure what else there is out there. Pixel is too expensive considering it uses an old chipset, the G6 is a bit on the weak side with the chipset again, I havent really looked at the Sony but I'm not really a fan of Sony in general.

I'm guessing that once the devices are released we'll have more options, however, if the devices aren't out yet, how does this purport to work?
As a Verizon user I've learned to not even ask about root or look forward to it. And you know what. I'm ok with that.
Without unlocked bootloader, root and ready to install custom AOSP Rom with xposed, I do not need a new phone.
At that point there are absolutely no reasons to downgrade my Nexus 6.
I really like the features that offer Galaxy s8 plus but software is over 60% of any device.

I agree, as devices and the OS get polished more and more over the iterations, there is less realistic every-day need to root each time.
That said, and like most of Android power users (xda?), I miss deep customizations like those on top of Xposed, plus one key tool that I have gotten used to live with: GMD GestureControl (control the system via finger gestures)... Plus Titanium Backup as well
I'm sure someone will leak a eng.kernel for the US SD835 models, that's has happened with the S7 and S7e. That will allow root for us, takes a little more work to get it running good as the eng.kernels are just meant for development and unlocking devices so the kernel CPU settings are all messed up.

I'm sure root will happen.....when.....who knows. The S7 and s7e had eng.kernels for MM and Nougat all within a few months If even that.

Hopefully at least root, or I'll have to jump to the Pixel 2.

They are out of the box yes but you can adb super user and scripts to fix that. We actually running great on the tmo S7 edge. I'm getting same as stock battery life if not better and performance is like stock if not better. Took alot of work/trial and error though.

To all the people who are talking about Xposed here: you do realize that Xposed for nougat isn't out yet right? And those devices ship with nougat so unless someone makes a marshmallow rom you aren't going to have xposed.
That may be a deal breaker, but it's not Samsung's fault.

It is clearly understood that xposed does not exist on M(..yet) just as it is clearly understood that even if xposed did exist on N it would still not exisit on a phone with a unlockable boot looader... which is Samsungs/fault. See how that works?:silly:
After the success of campaigns to get hardware for BL Unlock/Root for the newest HD 8/10, I figured we as a community could maybe do the same for custom ROMS. If you've been around any of the other Amazon device threads, I'm sure you've noticed XDA Senior Member @ggow and his plethora of custom roms/support for these devices. If your like me, he's helped extend the life and usefulness of your older Amazon devices way past their prime! Anyways, after contacting ggow through DM, he has shown interest in continuing to support Amazon hardware, including the newest Fire HD 8/10. From what I know, he has very limited access to a friend's HD10 for a short time. So, if you have the means and you want help, please consider donating to @ggow through his profile page so that he may purchase his own HD 8 and HD 10.
Disclaimer: I'm not getting any kickbacks or a share of the pot. I just want a custom ROM for my new hardware and believe @ggow can make it happen. Here is my DM and his response just for the sake of transparency. If you've got questions, I'm sure @ggow can give more information now that this thread is live.

Hey ggow,
I didn't want to just tag you in a random thread, so I figured I'd dm you. I was just wondering if you had considered possibly making custom roms for the newest Amazon devices given the recent rooting/unlocking achieved on them. I know a couple of the developers got funded to buy a tablet through donations so they could work on them and figured maybe something like that could be done for you if it will help. I know your pretty busy with all your other projects and RL, so I understand if this is something you don't want to do. Either way, thanks for all the Roms you do make. Especially the CM/Nexus ROM for Ford. Definitely made that tablet last me longer than it should have! Best of luck and sorry for the random dm.

That would be useful, a fire HD8 and HD10 would latest gen would be useful. I want to support the newer devices. I have just finished building one for 7th gen amazon fire. My goal is provide a stable a stable custom rom for each device that can be unlocked.
I will have access to a friend's HD10 but only for a short time.

Is not Rom building kind of a full time job?
UK prices for HD10 look high, 110 pounds on a rare sale is like the regular US price of $150!

I don't know how they get away with the pricing like it is. I've complained about this to no avail...

Yep, I'm on it
The HD8 could still require some love though. (I don't own a HD8)
And since they aren't too dissimilar, having @ggow work on the HD8 I think both devices could benefit from it

We're in dire need of a 2017 hd8 bootloader unlock before further progress can be made. I've asked around a bit but haven't been able to get any real clue how we could use other unlock methods as a guide. Or for that matter, anyone with the time/inclination/skill/hardware to help. Poop etc

The HD8 being talked about in thread is the 2018 version. The HD8 2018 has bootloader unlock and can progress onto custom roms.

Yup
I bricked mine and I had to get a free replacement. I hope amazon doesn’t notice about the pry marks on the corners for bootrom flash. How can I avoid doing that on the replacement device

Don't know for how long, but looks like a used HD 8 is £53.99 currently on Amazon.co.uk (Still $71 usd which is ridiculous, imo)

Any thoughts on when you might release an experimental rom for suez? I'm debating pulling the trigger on one since my Fire 7 THOR died.
