I posted this question last Friday. For some reason, it disappears aftward.
Following the simple tutorial of using Fire Toolbox v18.0 on youtube, I installed Google Services. When I tried to bring up an app, I got a message like you don't have permission to use this app and check the parental control. I thought that the problem might resolve after restarting the tablet. However, the tablet doesn't pass the logo screen after restarting. The tablet is useless due to the problem. Any solution?
I hope that I can get some helpful tips this time.
Did you enable ADB beforehand? That could help you fix it - otherwise, factory reset.
Can't remember whether I did that or not.

I rooted my Kindle Fire with the Kindle Fire Utility a while ago and after a month or so of everything being fine I am now having the whole system just lock up. It usually happens when the Fire is idle, not totally shut down but "turned off". I will notice that the power button light is orange even though it is not plugged in for charging. When I open the case it is stuck on the boot screen (the FireFireFire one) like it rebooted but only made it part way.
I can shut it off with the 20 second reset but then it locks again when trying to turn on. I found that I can use the KF Utility to force it into Normal Boot mode and then it is fine for a while. Then it will do it again.
This was a refurbed Fire so I am thinking it may be a hardware issue. If it is not does anyone know how to fix this? Or how I can remove everything that the KF Utility put on there so I can see about getting a replacement from Amazon since it is under warranty still. I am leaning this way because there are a couple other minor issues with it also.
Thanks for any help, I will try to answer any questions when i can.
I posted this here because I can't post in the KF Utility thread because of the new poster rule and search did not bring me any answers.
I wouldn't think rooting would cause problems, though apps and commands that use root may cause problems. Can you leave it plugged into the computer with "adb logcat" running, to check if it give a relevant error message?
When I rooted my kindle fire I had similar issues. I found it to be the ROM I was using. Did some searching on the forums here and found the ReloadedROM and that has since fixed all those issues. I would give a different ROM a try and see if that solves any troubles you are having.
Before I begin, trust me when I say I have scurried through dozens of Google results, forums, blogs, YouTube videos, FAQ's and other things trying to find out how to unbrick this thing. I have a Kindle Fire first gen which I rooted using Kindle Fire Utility through superuser 3 days ago. All was well, as I had google play and an innovative new launcher. After downloading a few apps, I thought that I had finally made the Kindle the fully-functional Android tablet I had desired. However, after a few hours of seamless use, the Kindle decided to freeze on me. Holding the power button still brought up the "Do you wish to power down your Kindle?" notification, and I shut it down, planning on restarting it. However, when I turned it back on, it would not get past the animated Kindle Fire logo. The weird part was, I could still hear notification tones. I was using my phone to DM on Twitter, and when I would get a message back, I could hear the twitter notification on my Kindle. (No, I was not mistaking it for the phone). After a while, I could hear that sound it makes when the battery was about to die. I plugged it in, and after two hours I unplugged it, held the power button to shut it down, and started searching google for answers. I was advised to use the Kindle Fire Utility to launch it in fastboot mode, which only restars the Kindle with no success. I have tried all options on the KF utility, even Permaroot. If I install TWRP recovery, it gets stuck on waiting for device. On most options, it gets stuck on waiting for device. (I have tried all the unplugging, unpowering options I saw). The computer makes a sound when the KF is plugged in, but it doesn't come up on the devices with removeable storage tab. I have all drivers installed, it is ADB enabled through the device manager, I have the Java Developer Kit, as well as Android SDK. The only thing I can get any utility to do (I have tried many such as Kindle Brick, SuperOneClick,etc) is restart the Kindle as if I did it myself. It still makes all the notification tones I mentioned earlier. One thing I have noticed, though, is that when the Kindle is 10 seconds from dying, the Unlock Screen will appear with no response. I have tried several times to let it get to that point, then quickly plug it in, but no sucess. It just restarts on the same boot screen. I have no idea what to do. I'm not a developer by any means, but I'm good with following directions I'm given to mess with computers and such. I don't have much knowledge of the command prompt, either. I just made this post as a last resort. Someone please help. (Running Windows 10 techncinal preview on a Windows 8, 64-bit laptop if that helps)
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see you've already asked the exact same question in the Kindle Fire q&a section here:
[Q] Oddly Bricked Kindle Fire (HELP!)

I have some problems with my Z5, and they are starting to get really annoying.
Now, i havent looked for an answer for this one yet, but since i'm making a post, i will just throw it in here. The fingerprint scanner stoppes working sometimes, and i get this error message saying that "the hardware is not available" or something like that. It is in norwegian, so i just have to translate it myself. My device is rooted, but this occured while my phone wasn't rooted or anything like that. The problem fixes itself when i reboot. This is not a huge problem for me, since i can live without the fingerprint scanner, but i like to use it, and it is very annoying.
I have looked for an answer to this, and i have not found any other threads than for Z5 Compact, and there was no solution in that thread. 1 or 2 times a day i get this error message that says that it is unable to play the video. This is extremely annoying, as i use the app often, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone. This was also a problem before i rooted the phone. It stopped doing it for some weeks, but now, the last week or so, it has started again and it is driving me insane.
I have tried to:
Reinstall app
Force close app (and all other apps to see if that helped)
Clear cache
Factory reset
The only thing that helpes for a few hours is to reboot the phone.
Right now i'm using build 32.1.A.1.185 with androplus kernel. But i had the same problem the first days i had the phone before i rooted.
Sorry for possible bad grammar as english is not my main language
Nice to have someone raised this issue. I have the same issue from time to time and yes, the only solution for now is to restart your phone but it gets annoying. I think this is not related to if you're rooted or not. This may be hardware related or decoder related? After watching several videos from YouTube, all other streaming videos does not play. Fingerprint scanner stops functioning as well until you restart. Hope someone can find the solution.
I have the same problem when I watch 3 or more videos, and the "hardware fingerprint not avaliable" message appears after youtube report an error on reproduction, when I press the button "try again", the fingerprint won't work anymore (only reboot fix the error)
For the YouTube problem: have you tried turning WiFi on and off instead of rebooting?
that's your solution, if your phone is rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...back-issue-t3290793/post64763489#post64763489
not sure if it only works with unlocked bootloader.
Go to settings > apps > google play services > permissions. Then turn off body detecting. Worked for me.
I was driving to my sister's house today and some app (I don't even know the name of it) popped up and I just xed out of it. Well turns out its one of those apps that put fake LED lights on your screen when someone calls ( and a lot of ads) I've looked through my phone and I can't find it! How do I fix this? I don't have allow apps from unknown sources on either.
Here is a screen shot:

I would factory reset and start from scratch.
Unfortunately, sometimes even Google play gets malware/adware. It's likely that the app that is causing it isn't one you'd suspect. I'd look at the permissions and see which apps have permission to draw over other apps. Start disabling them one by one until you find the culprit, and then uninstall it. You could also do the same with the phone call permission. If that doesn't work then you'll need a factory reset.
i have the verizon ellipsis qutar7 tablet and i use only for my security system as a monitor and for the most part is does a good job, but i keep getting play store has stopped or messenger has stopped or a few other error messages. the table still seems to show the cameras working in the background but had to see some with the popup on the screen.
so does anyone here have a fix for this? i have tried about all i can to try to fix it but even resetting it has not helped. i have notices turned off so i do not get those taking up resourses. i tried turning off all the apps that i did nto need or use and or disabling others and that did not help. i still get a few notices in the top as icons. but i would like the popups errors to go away for good.
maybe someone knows of an app tha tcan monitor this and stop them? or maybe an app that will restart the tablet at night and then restart the apps you want to be running?
thanks bp.
