ADP builds of Android do not have TMobile apps such as Amazon MP3. This has been discussed ad nauseum if you had bothered to search.

It's a protected app. If you need it that bad that I suggest you go back to an RC build and do research before blindly flashing whatever build of Android is at the top of the forum.

If you still have the RC firmware you can just unzip it copy the amazon apk out and install it into the adp the amazon works. I dont think anyone has the IM app working though
We should have an official rc update from tmobile real soon, which will have amazon mp3, myfavs, etc...
Just open a RC33 update.zip and extract the file from /system/app. Then you can install it by adb push.
Verified as working. I just added it to the app folder of Dudes 1.1 build and then did the update and it works just great. Purchased and downloaded a song to verify.
Here it Is

enjoy it works for me...
Really Bad,
In Germany it cannot charge my creditcard... It has enough money on it.
I have the dude's 1.5 version, and cant seem to get it running. It forces closed upon trying to open. Any thought? It is saved to my SD in the app folder.
TIA
Read my guide

TY SolemnWishing, this is how I got the app on my SD card to begin with - yours is a very helpful thread for a n00b like me. Unfortunately, I was never able to get the app to open. I am not sure how I could have messed it up - pretty simple, I navigate to the app folder on my SD and click the apk file which proceeds to install Amazon MP3. No go.
If you have any ideas on what the problem might be I would appreciate the input.
Thanks again for your great tutorial
Hmm... I assume you deleted the .zip and renamed it to .apk, what firmware are you using?
I am using firmware 1.5. Yes I renamed to apk. I wants to work, just force closes before it fully loads. I also have this problem with oi music player. It used to work, now no longer loads. I wonder if my SD card is the problem. It is 8 gb, but I am sure only like a class 2 card.
Strange. I have JF 1.5 and installed the Amazon app the normal way for any app on the G1 and have rebooted several times. The app still works. I thought if you did not push the app to the G1 it would need to be reinstalled each time you reboot the device?
Well, I am pretty positive it was my SD card - after writing my post this morning I pulled the SD card and have not been anble to get the phone back since. This thread pretty accuratly describes what is going on...long story short, i think I fried my SD card and as a result am stuck on Splash 2. I have wiped several times...

uggg...all for mp3's!!!! any thoughts and lots of luck would be appreciated.

Ahh I did the same thing. Here is what you need to do, you will need to force format it. Windows will NOT detect the card, and it may even freeze your computer. Put the phone into another device, such as a palm pilot or another cell phone and format it from there. It shouldn't take very long, and when it is completed, it will likely say the memory card only has 5Kb or so of memory on it. NOW insert the card into your computer and reformat it into a FAT32 format (+Ex2 for apps to SD) and you should be good! Of course, you will need to reload all your files though. That will fix your SD card. As for your phone... you will need to completely reflash a new firmware onto it, as right now starting up your phone is looking for items on your SD card which it may need, which no longer exist.
edit: if that doesn't work, completely start from the beginning by flashing the dreamimg.nbh file for rooting.
I was able to reformat the SD card, lost all my backups of course, and had to reflash dreaming.nbh and start from scratch. No biggy, at least i still have my phone.
thanks for all the tips...once i get my card re-partioned, I will try the Amazon.apk again.

I got it to load - thanks for all your help.

No problem at all, glad I could help.
[Q] Why Do I get this error "The Parameter is incorrect." Trying to Write to my Phone
I have a brand new Samsung Captivate from Rogers.
I have updated it to 2.2 using kies.
I then did the one click root.
Now when I connect it to my computer I get "The Parameter is incorrect." every time I try to copy a file or make a new directory.
I have formatted the memory from the phone and I can then copy files or make folders temporarily. Until the phone decides that it wants to throw the error again.
I can also run a check disk from my computer with “Automatically Fix system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" check. This will also fix the problem temporarily.
So how do I fix the permanently?
This is my first post so please don't flame me to bad.
Thanks in advance.
looks like something wrong in your computer. try to reinstall the usb drivers and switch to another computer to see if it still happens.
I have tried it on my desktop, my laptop and my work desktop.
The problem always reappears.
I am using the driver from the Wiki.
Windows ?????
Windows 7 x64
Parameter is incorrect error:
You need to make sure your drives (SD) are/is formated with FAT32.
This will allow maximum file size of 4Gb.
I have formated fat32 and it has just started getting the error again.
I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-907854.html
this is what is happening to me.
Has anyone found a fix?
i had this issue with stock 2.2 rogers.
one time i was able to fix by right clicking the phone in my computer> properties> tools > scan for errors. Found some.
it was also deleting files/songs that i put on the internal sd.
returned the phone. no problem since, but have also been using custom roms since.
This is weird. I had the same problem on an old version of di11igafs rom. It was related to the file vold.fstab which deals with mounting storage. I find it odd that this is happening o a sock rom. If any of you feel so inclined upload your vold.fstab and ill have a look.

If you use root explorer or ASTRO (which is free) to navigate to the root directory of your phone, look for the folder named 'etc' inside that folder should be 2 VOLD files. make a copy of these.
PS: MAKE SURE NOT TO MOVE THEM!!! xD (or delete O: )
So I just got off the phone with samsung and they told me to return the phone to rogers because rogers website is giving the wrong firmware.
Now I do not know if this is true but I would like to fix the problem.
They also said that I can not put the correct 2.2 on as kies will see the wrong 2.2 and not install the correct one.
So now I guess I have no choice
I have attached both of the vold files for you to look at.
I hope someone can come up with a fix as Rogers does not want to change the phone. They are waiting on a fix from Samsung and Samsung says there is no fix coming and that I need to change the phone.
Is there a way to go back to 2.1 Rogers?

to get back to 2.1 rogers. use the PIT file and RE-Partition. i have been flashing phoenix roms with no problem.
i only had those error problems with stock 2.2 after updating, but to be honest only had the phone less than 1 week between 2.1> 2.2>custom> returned to store. the second phone was on phoenix within 2 hours of getting it.
So I managed to get CM7 on my nook fairly easily just now (latest versions for everything) however when I was up and running it asked me to upgrade my cm7 version in the notification area. I did but now I have no access to the market. I see the icon but nothing happens when I press it. If I goto manage applications, the market doesn't appear there either. Did I miss something?
The market worked previously, although it was the old school android market, not the new one. I thought that was odd, but after the cm7 update, the market doesnt open.

You didn't really have to do that if you are running CM7 and CWR off the internal eMMC. Just put the .zip on the card, boot into CWR and install .zip from card.
But since you are up and running I guess the point is moot for you.
So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I redownload the GAPP's file from the CM7 Wiki and then try reflashing it. I dont know what could've happened but I would try that first. As for the file explorer issue, I would download the Dropbox app on your NC and then on your computer, search for the Root Explorer/ES APK and upload it to Dropbox on your computer and then istall it on your Nook Color. Although, I am running Nightly 202 and the entire Market is working for me with no modifications or anything. I think the fact that one of the nightly's changed the DPI to 160, either way, I still have access to the entire Market without modifications.

I had the same issue. What I did was upgrade to latest via ROM mgr pp WITHOUT checking 'load gapps' option which rebooted into latest CM7 nightly without gapps. Then rebooted into recovery, with gapps 0828 loaded on my sdcard, chose wipe cache option then loaded gapps. rebooted, had to reinit gapps but then it all worked.

You never mentioned what version of CM7 you are running. If it is older than nightly 200, install a newer nightly.

I believe Amazon released an update today as my KFHD just rebooted itself and turned back on with a progress bar. My question or issue is this: does an update automatically cause a rooted KFHD to lose root access? I still have access to Google Play store and a bunch of apps I could only access through root. And most of the apps still work except LMT Launcher, which is the only one that is no longer working as far as ive noticed.So all I have to do is plug back in and root my KFHD again and I should be good, right?
Version 7.3.0 is out. Here are the specs from the Amazon page:
"Support for X-Ray for Textbooks
Explore the “bones” of your textbook, and access all the most important terms and concepts, with glossary definitions and links to relevant textbook pages.
Simplified Chinese Support
In addition to the other languages offered, you can now change your device language to Simplified Chinese.
Track your reading progress with Time To Read
Kindle Fire HD 7” calculates your reading speed to let you know when you’ll finish a chapter or book.
Support for Kindle Editions with Audio/Video
You can now read books that contain audio and/or video clips.
Print Replica Textbook Enhancements
Scroll through thumbnails at the bottom of the screen to preview pages and jump quickly between chapters, and mark important notes and highlights in your Notebook for easy reference."
None of this seems overly important, but then again I do like to have the latest version as long as there is no harm to the root.

Anything you install as a system apk will be deleted. When amazon sends an update it typically sends system.img, recovery.img and boot.img.
That is why the lmt launcher will not work because it has to be installed as a system.apk to work, same with root access since su binary is placed within the system files.
if you want to install the 2nd bootloader, you should not update. Amazon have fixed the bootloade with the update and so it dosn't work for now. i don't know, if it perhaps work with soupkit, because the insallation is a little bit different, but the resultat is the same (I could install kinelogy 1.1 after doing that).
I'm still on 7.2.1, found Wi-Fi performance/range considerably better than on 7.2.3, unless 7.3.0 improves it I won't be updating for quite some time.
This explains why I lost root and Go Launcher HD yesterday. Regained root with the same Noob Simple guide here with little more than annoyance. The file to prevent the OTA update had been moved per the guide (otacerts.zip) but think I deleted it in a cache cleaning frenzy... that will learn me

Ouch! I got caught by this update . . . i am now running 7.30 on my KFTT 7"
Sad, since I had a nice rooted image all set up well. Unfortunately, I became a bit lazy and did not check on whether or not I had effectively disabled updates during my last restore/reflash of 7.2.3 (I had not done that ;-(
sigh! Like you, I have all my apps and the Play store working, but anything requiring root -like root explorer or TIBU, won't work until I can reroot on this version -or flashback. . . The only question is whether the root exploitation works on this new version, I am not sure any of us has tried yet. . .oh well. . here we go (again!)
EDIT: OK, I was able to re-root the same way I did before (used the tools in prokennexusa noob threads!) All back to normal!

Same root method worked, system feels about the same with tweaks installed and benchmarked similarly (7344 vs 7444 with AnTuTu)
I just can't get my launcher off of the stock one. Nothing will take.
I simply plugged my KFHD back in and re-rooted. I regained access to applications that required system access. So my LMT is working again. I didn't lose any apps as far as I've noticed. This update turned out to be a pretty minor inconvenience.

I had this issue as well - and then noticed something else that was really weird. When I tried to move to /system/app it only moved to system - but I also noticed (at least in my case) it was renaming the file by adding "app" (which was the folder name I was trying to move it to) on the front of the file name - so... GoLauncher HD.apk was being renamed appGoLauncher.apk but was landing in the /system folder instead of /system/app
So - I created a new folder called "temp" in the /System/App directory (i.e /system/app/temp) and moved the files there. Sure enough, they landed in /system/app with the the word "temp" appended to the front of the file name, so GoLauncher.apk was now tempGoLauncher.apk. However, it was in the right directory - so I then simply renamed it by removing the "temp" from the front of the name and continued with install
I still have lots of other issues though in getting it to work. It appeared to be working for a while, but has stopped again.

Actually, I tried 3 different ways.
1) I reluctantly attempted ProKennexusa's method via the KFFFirstAide tool. I say reluctantly since I'm pretty much a Nova snob. I guess luckily for me, it wouldn't take.
2) I then moved onto downloading Nova from the store. The store claimed that both installs went good, but had no option to change my launcher. Upon inspection, the Nova launcher file was nowhere to be found on the device. The pro unlocker could be found, but no the launcher.
3) Since I had a couple of older copies in Dropbox, I figured I'd try those. Usually I could install straight from Dropbox. Not last night. I could launch the install, but the Kindle wouldn't allow me to press the install button. I then just saved the file to the device and still couldn't get it to install. It wasn't until moving it to system/app that I was able to actually install it. But still, no option to set it as my launcher.
This morning, in a bit of Kindle rage, I literally rebooted the device 23 straight times pausing between boots to see what happened. On the 23rd reboot, it finally asked me which launcher to set as default. So now I finally have gotten away from the freakish kindle launcher and am back at home with Nova.
EDIT: I have figured out how to make the EPTT work on any rooted android phone. Skip to post #6 for the tutorial and proof.

I have rooted and installed SU. I have tried Helium to backup the app on my old S3 then install the app on my new S5. It wont register that way. I tried Device spoofer to make it look like an S3 and it still wont register. I found an older thread where the guy said it worked with both above mentioned methods on his Note 3. But they dont seem to work on the S5. Anybody have any other ideas? Is the network possibly seeing the S5 sim card and simply going NOPE not happening or does it read the device info instead? If it is the sim maybe they can reactivate my S3 sim and maybe I can get it working that way?
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using Titanium Backup and doing the exact same thing; back up the app on your S3 to your SD card, move the card to your S5, restore the app. Should work fine. I've never worked with Helium.

I will give that a try. It seems like helium backs everything up except for the registration data and the network even when i spoof it still knows it is an S5. They told me at the store they expect eptt to be updated to work with the S5 soon but how long is "soon"? A week or two is no big deal but any longer becomes a real issue. I use it all the time. Luckily I have a paid subscription to titanium so when i get home I will give her a whirl and see what happens.
Same issue. It tries to activate on the network and it wont allow it.
You have to fix your sd permissions use this app.

Ok guys here is the way to do it if anybody else ever runs into this situation. Device spoofer does work but it makes everything on the screen super small and after you activate EPTT and get it up and working then switch back to the stock profile it then stops working again.
In order to get the EPTT app to work on all non supported ATT android phones you must change the phones model number. I followed this tutorial and it worked perfectly. You must be rooted.
http://www.skytechblog.com/2013/01/change-mode-number-to-galaxy-s4-or.html
"Requirements:- A rooted Android device, Root explorer & patience
So let's Start..!! Video Tutorial
1. Start the Root Explorer app.
2. Go to System folder its in the root if the device
3. Make sure that System is in Read/Write from the top right
corner.
4. Look for a file named
build.prop in system folder.
5. Long press it for Options and then choose Text editor.
7. Search the line as followed ro.product.model= and then change the text after = sign to whatever you like your Model number to be displayed.
8. Press back and hit Save.
9. Exit the app and Reboot or simply Power off and on it.
That's it...its done now check the edited name in Settings>About phone> Model number
To get back to the original:- Just delete the build.prop and rename the build.prop.bak again to build.prop and reboot "
I changed mine to an S4 which is supported. The registration network looks for the Model number to verify it is being used on a supported device. Simply change it to the name of a supported device and waaa laaaa working EPTT.
As you can see by the icon at the top left I am signed in to EPTT and it does work great on the S5.
I know very few use this but for those that do and want a newer phone then here is your 100% working answer if you are willing to root your phone.
