Hello, as this information may already be posted please be patient as I am new to this site. I have a 32gb HP touchpad that I would like to install android on. Is there a thread or threads that someone could point me to for this installation process. Also, once android is added, will there be automated updates? I have done a great deal of research on this and it seems most of the android installation information is 6 months old or older. I would like to install android in its most recent form to the touchpad. Thanks.

New here, first post, please don't flame me.
I did not find this question in the forum search.
I have a Streak 7 WiFi and did the Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) upgrade. I don't really care for it (please don't flame me).
Is there a way to rollback/downgrade back to the OEM load of the Android 2.2 (Froyo)?
Is there an OEM image out there, if so, is there also a guide for a roll back?
This unit is not unlocked or rooted. I am new to trying something like this with a tablet.

The reason you would normally get flamed for your post is because your post obviously shows you did NOT do ANY searching... there is a thread SPECIFICALLY for getting your wifi 7 back to stock froyo, just search for it and while you are at it read through a bunch of the other threads in the forum
It will make life for you much easier if you learn about your device
Peruse through the forums
Yup, I read your post yesterday and kept going. This is a valuable lesson...read before do anything to any electronic device that cost you money.
As Faznx92 has abandoned development of his great toolkit that many of us see as an essential to
these devices, I have decided to pick up where he left. I'm continuing the project and, as such, have
recreated it in VB.NET with a proper interface.
Features
supports x.3.1.0-x.3.2.7
root your device; features both jcase and towelroot exploits
disable/enable OTA updates
disable/enable lockscreen ads (special offers)
installers for Safestrap, SuperSU, HDXPosed, and Play Store
To-do
code cleanup
design success forms
implement TWRP installer
Credits
Faznx92 — original idea and much of the logic behind this
jcase — 14/13.3.1.0 root exploit
geohot — towelroot
regaw_leinad — AndroidLib
Hashcode — Safestrap
Cpasjuste — HDXPosed, TWRP (thor)
Chainfire — SuperSU
ggow — TWRP (apollo)

I still need to finish up some things design-wise before I do an actual release.
Feel free to clone the repo and play around with it. Any suggestions on optimization, bug reports and the like are much appreciated.
i haven't been around much in a long time and have been silently lurking the forum. while i don't know how hard it is, a suggestion may be some kind of rollback utility for firmware.
personally, i'm sporting 3.2.4 on my apollo and there is a lot of conflicting information i am finding as to if / how i can roll mine back to .3.1.0 for twrp

not really. There are complete threads discussing your exact situation. And is fairly easy to reproduce. I would advise reading the whole thread involving your modifications. The OP is not always updated with every tidbit of helpful information.
while you're above suggestion. Would be nice to be integrated into another utility. There are fairly easy steps to accomplish what you need to.that have already been thoroughly developed by another developer and he would have to get permission from him also add that.
and keep in mind Apollo is slightly behind in development as far as compared to the Thor.
while i understand that there are whole threads, what i am pointing out, and you said as well is that there is not a definitive process / guide.
anyway, the OP was asking for suggestions which is exactly what i gave.

Ive been all around these forums for years. Never seen a more conflicting and jumbled shamble of tutorial wannabes or confusing information in my life. Most of the bricks dont come from seriously stupid people, they come from a lack of competent, cohesive, coherent information.

I cannot completely disagree with you on this. The issue we have is that there are several different routes to currently take with these tablets all depending on what version of firmware you are on, and if you follow one set of directions while on the wrong firmware, its potentially the end for your tablet. Double this confusion with 2 tablets with the "same" yet different sets of firmware. You're right that we are lacking a fully comprehensive guide for people just coming here new. Some bricks have been caused by carelessness, but there is so much confusion with where to begin with some people. Those of us that have had these tablets for awhile may be use to it, but I do feel for the ones new to all of this and the twenty different directions they may have to take based off a single question, "what firmware are you on?".

Got the solution from GitHub and started building it. Anything I can do to help? I'm basic to intermediate with OOP languages. I was thinking of attempting to convert the project to C#. If anything, I can help make builds.

Nope, but there are other methods to obtain root. I will let someone with more experience jump in. While I have read through relevant posts with interest I have not directly worked with Apollo (8.9" HDX) or Sangria (Fire OS 4.x). Don't want to dole out bad/incomplete info ...
Important: Do not connect to WiFi (delete any WiFi networks you may have previously connected to) as you may get upgraded to 4.5.3 which is reported to be much hard to crack. I know it's tempting ... don't do it!

Yes, if you need root and you have hdx 7" (codename Thor ), you can downgrade from 13.4.5.3 to 13.3.2.8, then upgrade to 13.4.5.2 which is now rootable.

Thx a lot !
Q&A for Help please...( New to Kindle), i want to install Android OS...
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Help please...( New to Kindle), i want to install Android OS.... If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!

I just picked up a Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd gen I believe. It shows 12.2GB in storage model number x43z60, I want to put Android OS on it. Ive never done this before, and i see ALOT of info on here about it. Basically, im sure there is already a thread that will tell me everything i need with download resources.... just asking, can someone direct me to a link, with everything i will need to do this without a Boot cable, and include a stable version of the Android OS, something in the 4.x series.
I dont care if its the stock rom, or a custom rom, prefer a debloated custom rom made to run great, without any bugs or so.... Im confused by everything going on, its alot to take in when your not up to date on whats been going on. Thanks everyone!

Follow Hashtag's tutorial stickied above; make reference to Seokhun's tutorial for getting into fastboot mode without a fastboot cable. Hashtag's tutorial takes you from stock Amazon Fire to Cyanogenmod 11 based on Android Kit-Kat.

My thread got moved, can you send me a link to the correct place? I am confused about Kindle, I dont know for sure what model i have no because of something someone said. Can anyone help verify this:
I just picked up what i THINK is a: Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd gen. It shows 12.2GB in storage, and when i
Pull down the notification bar and hit> More>Device>About - This is what it says:
"System Version : Current Version 7.5.1_user_51700200

-and-
It has "MODEL No. X43Z60" written on the back in the bottom center under the Amazon logo. I did research and believe its the Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd Generation.
Is that correct?

Is that correct? I dont know Kindle's at ALL. This is my first tablet i only bought it because it was a good deal.
I have a Samsung S4 (SPH-L720T). I had read that installing xposed would cause bootloops on Samsung lollipop. I couldn't find if this was resolved. I'm trying to install on a stock rom, rooted.

It isn't that hard. Have a look at this thread and read especially post #2.
I actually read that entire page a few times over. It still was not really telling me anything. I followed directions from several different sites, including this one, and it never worked. Then I found out you need to have a deodexed rom. Never saw that fact here, not saying it's not been said here before, but the amount of info out there, the time spent reading about it all, how it's done, knowing a lot but not being an android techie now it all like most of the people on this site, (dont mean that in a negative way), it's easy to get lost. Reading one thing can lead me into looking up 12 other things. Sometimes still not getting the answer your looking for lol. So, I just learned how to recently install and use twrp for the 1st time, now I got that down, now I need to learn about deodexing, and that's where I'm at now. 1 step at a time. I'll b bock.

You don't need a deodexed ROM at all for Android 5.0.2. There is a version available, that is designed to work on odexed Samsung ROMs: the one from arter97. Use the table in post #2 of above linked thread, it will tell you which version you need. Below the table, you can find links to the download threads. One of them links to arter97's thread (red text).
Can someone more familiar with the site please post links to simple methods to install android and ideally still retain WebOS.
I am probably looking to install Evervolv Marshmallow build, but like the idea of still being able to switch to WebOS.
When I have looked for instructions to do it I can never seem to find them.
I also note for builds that it lists things that don't work on the first page, but often never know if these have been resolved. Does anyone know if they are generally kept up to date or do I need to trawl through each thread to confirm what has recently been fixed.
TIA
