hey everyone most of the 5.9.902 root procedures relate to a device that has been rooted and then needs a fix due to the loss of root. well i just acquired this device and foolishly i allowed it to absorb the update. can anyone point me to a root procedure for a stock 5.9.902 updated Bionic?
Thanks!
Dude its all over the place 902

Not sure why everyone has overcomplicated this. All you need to do is run one simple exe. Takes 1 minute, phone reboots, and you are rooted. Here's the thread:

i read through your procedure briefly - it includes updating the rom to an ics rom - what if i prefer to stay with liberty\gingerbread? just substitute it or any other in place of what u suggest?

Yes, he just used ics as an example. It can be any rom, just make sure the rom is compatible with 902

That's a false positive. No viruses, it is just a package that lainches the original batch file so Norton flips out. (Surprised ppl are still using Norton though. Avast FTW)
Its kind of.common for Norton to detect a virus with anything that involves modifying something.

I actually had another OTA update out of nowhere. The version is still technically 7.2.1, but it went from 7.2.1_user_2030320 to 7.2.1_user_2040020.

I have not move/rename. I actually want the updates to see how they affect the system, as long as they don't fix the root exploit. The reason I was annoyed is because I didn't notice it was an update until about the third time I flashed a backup and looked closer. Now I can make a backup of that version. By the way check out the android development section, Hashcode has figured out a way to bypass the locked bootloader

I received the same update - first I was confused, why my root was gone while it still having the 7.2.1 on, because I couldn't remember what was written after user_*** I wondered what happend - but thanks to that post now I understand.
Next to the lost of root, Amazon (which don't like us playing) turned back the permissions on the dtcp_apk.apk what brought the adds on the lockscreen back. They probably just pushed a new version of this file.
Yes, I just downloaded root checker and confirm my root is gone as well. The good news is that Google play is still working. My problem is how they pushed that updated without requiring user approval. This looks like a violation of our privacy rights. I'm going to research this further.

In my /persist folder only have the followings:
/drm
/prov
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin
I replaced the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin with the one you provided, make sure the permission is the same rw-rw- ---. Reboot!!! but my WIFI get dropped and could not connect. I reverted back to the old file and reboot and it came back the way it was before. Am I doing anything wrong?

same here. I dont have a qcom folder.
am i to remove the /drm and /prov folder?
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin is the only .bin file i have
i think everyone will have different issues. here is what i personally did to have wifi working great. i opened persist folder erased everything in it and pasted the file i uploaded in there. then use rsd lite and returned the phone to stock and wiped everything. then simply just rerooted. the bt_nv.bin is auto generated anyway so it can just be erased. but always for safety before erasing files save to external sd.

Hmm maybe the ROM is too large?
According to windows it is 1.14GB unzipped. And the system partition is just 1100mb. I am not able to change that in safestrap though.

Hello, all!
I promise more updates to this and apologize for the freakishly large file size, but here, I give to you, Fire Hydrant, a custom version of Fire OS, that has the added features listed below.
- Rooted
- Busybox Pre-Installed
- Everything Deodexed
- Everything Zipaligned
- Over-The-Air Updates from Amazon are disabled
- Lock Screen Ads removed
- Google Apps Added
- Google Play Store app downloading fixed
- "Google Experience Launcher" added as an option.
- Google Search Pre-installed
While some of this may seem overwhelming as of right now, I can promise updates to this that will bring a better experience to owners of the Kindle Fire HDX 7".
I can not guarantee to you that all of the features above will work. I do not have a Kindle Fire HDX 7", so I was unable to do testing of any kind.
ALSO, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE. WHILE I TRY MY BEST TO KEEP EVERYTHING SAFE, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
Download:
Downloading isn't currently available while I investigate why it isn't working...
I will try to get this uploaded to other places once I get the chance. For the time being, and my current location, I had to upload to Dropbox as Google Drive upload speed was terrible.

Upload it as a torrent. Post a magnet link or torrent file. It's not like it's illegal content. You made it. I'll seed. I have a fast connection. In Utorrent goto file new torrent then seed it. It's that simple

I wasn't discussing the ROM as an uploading issue, but more as an installation issue. He was suggesting that the contents of the system folder in the zip file were too large for the allowed space on the device itself. So I removed a few things and replaced the "update-binary" so hopefully all should be okay.

Oh! That makes more sense. Lol. Well, the new build is already uploading to Dropbox. Hopefully this will fix all the installation errors. I just removed the Google+ apk (You can download it from the Play Store) and amazon's pre-built, heavy-on-memory fonts partition. I replaced them with just plain ol' android fonts (it should look the exact same).

That's the truth. Working on this theme (and some little tweaks) I've bootlooped this thing 2 twice a day this week, I'm so tired of using lg flash tool to restore, really missing my twrp right now.
On a side note I've been working on a deodex stock for everyone to use a base. I was trying to use the stock kdz file, but ask the extract tools are giving me a corrupt cab file, any tips? I prefer to use the untouched base because I've replaced a lot of files on my phone already so it wouldn't a full stock if i just adb pulled my /system
