CM Recovery for Nexus Player (fugu)

This is the CM-12.1 recovery for fugu.
Use the bottom button to navigate. One push to scroll down and long press to select. I've tested both adb side load and install from internal storage. This recovery also supports adb backup, but I haven't tested it yet.
I hope you enjoy not having to fastboot everything.

Code:

Dude, quit being so amazing. It's getting ridiculous.

Excellent! This is the first custom recovery available for this device, correct? I suppose this would open the door to something like the Xposed Framework being installed on the Nexus Player but since my device is running on Android 5.1, I'll probably wait until rovo89 officially adds support for the latest version of Android first.

Yes!!! Glad to see you!

@dhacker29 Sweet! Thank you! May I suggest you don't use dev host to host this file . They use to be good a while back, but now often employ sketchy MITM type "download manager" scams, and other bad practices. From the original dev thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54363645 -
Dear Developers,
It has come to our attention that due to excessive ads that simulate download buttons, fly-by malware APK attacks from Mobogenie, and reused (and potentially dangerous) reused short URLs, Dev-Host no longer meets our minimum acceptable requirements as a hosting affiliate. As such, we are ending our affiliation with this provider. We urge you to find a safer download host for your development projects such as our other affiliates: Goo.im and AndroidFileHost.

Just a heads up. I had a bad experience with them before I saw that post.
Also, it would be awesome if you had a naming convention with version number for all future releases (assuming you plan on updating it); like "cm_recovery_fugu_1.0.0.img" or something.
Thanks again! I know lots of people have been patiently waiting and hoping for a fugu recovery. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

Yes this is the first recovery for the device but last I checked Xsposed had nothing to do with recovery. This will allow for custom firmware like cm-12.1 to be flashed to the device without having to use fastboot.

I have to agree with Wugfresh on this bro AndroidFileHost is great. All you need to do is @ the guy on Twitter and he'll hook you up with a developer account complete with ftp access.
Wugfresh the issue with a revision on this is it's cm's android bootable recovery so technically anytime a commit is made to that repo it would be a revision change.

I'll host the updated image somewhere else tonight and I will be adding the date to the end of the image so you can tell if it is updated.

The Q&A for Xposed on Android 5.0 at http://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-lollipop-is-here/ contains this quote:
I want to install it. Now! What do I have to do?
Make sure that you’ve read my words above and you’re familiar with your phone’s internals. Obviously, you need to be on a Lollipop ROM and have a good backup of your data. For now, I will only publish the ARMv7 version. 64-bit is more complex, so let’s try the “easy” variant first.
For now, the installation has to be performed manually in a custom recovery. Flashing the zip file will install:
* app_process32_xposed and some symlinks
* libexposed_art.so
* libart.so and some related binaries + libraries (based on 5.0.2, enhanced with support for hooking etc.)
* XposedBridge.jar (now stored in /system/framework)
Backups of existing files will be created automatically and could be restored later.

Can confirm a working flash. Everything looks great! Thanks for all the hard work

no option to make a recovery image...whats the point of this then?
I tried to wipe my cache to free some space and it sent my nexus player into a bootloop...whats going on with this?

How exactly does this work? If my device is rooted on 5.1.0 and I flash this custom recovery. Can I make a backup of everything on the device? Then when google goes to update the android version, can I update it, then restore my backup of everything and not lose root? I'm sorry i'm new to custom recovery and not quite sure how they work. Thank you for your help!

Edit

Noob
I'm a bit of a noob - I have managed to ADB a new boot and system image to my nexus player - it's now running lollipop1.6. What does this recovery mean and how is it different than loading a boot and system image? Thanks - Does this require ClockworkMod?

if you restored your backup you would be downgrading it from the update you just took. you dont need a custom recovery to back up apps and their data, there are apps for that. a custom recovery makes it so its easier to flash new/custom roms(os), make backups of the current rom(os) so if anything goes wrong you can restore it, flash zips like the supersu zip or xposed framework. if you try take an ota with a custom recovery the ota will fail to install as its looking for the stock recovery(may be diff on a nexus device but its always been like that on the devices i have owned)

This recovery does not provide a "nandroid" type backup where all of your info is zipped up and stored on the devices internal storage, where any application can get access to it, but rather supports adb backup. which backs up your information to a file on your computer. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351 for more information on usage.

Thanks for an update. I tried to full backup by following commands.
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\backup20151904.ab
But getting this "Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation" lines and asking for unlock your deivice to confirm. Any sugestion to pass this. Thanks

Yes it seems Google decided to remove the backup confirmation dialog from TcSettings

So it means adb backup of a full ROM is not possible? Going to try your rom later.

Although I prefer AOSP/Nexus the next logical question would be CM11 as it shares common roots with FireOS v4 / Nexus v4 and at present does not require an unlocked bootloader. Actually, not sure why anyone would opt for CM11 over Nexus on HDX given the status of the two roms. Don't get me wrong - CM is great and has some nice built in functionality (all of which is obtainiable via Xposed on Nexus) but the CM11/CM12 implementations still have a few issues with the HDX variants.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I love cm, but If you want a stable Rom, Nexus is where it's at.

Hi, I used your safetrap version on fire OS 4.5.2 rooted, when I flash rom nexus 4.0.1 on secondary slot rom, It booted greatly! But as you said, it haven't wifi module, but when I flash it in stock slot, successfully, but it only boot to splash screen and no more, do you know my error? Please help me, thanks!
One more thing, I use fire OS 14.4.5.2.2004220, not 2004120, nothing different, right?

Can you get into Safestrap recovery? If so try a 'factory reset' located under the 'wipe' option and then reboot. If that does not work return to Safestrap recovery and perform an 'advanced wipe'. Check all of the partitions (Dalvik Cache, Data, Cache, System). After wiping reinstall Nexus v4 and gaps from within Safestrap and then reboot.
A few cautions/notes:
- make sure you are working with the correct slot!
- make sure you perform the 'factory reset' from safestrap recovery - not the native Amazon recovery built into your Kindle
- gaps is important for proper operation of Nexus v4. Some low level functions (eg: the home button) do not work correctly if gaps is not flashed immediately after Nexus v4
Please post the results to others can learn from your experience. Thanks!

Hi, after I wiped everything and reinstall to slot stock, it booted, and Wifi module worked correctly, thanks for your help!

Flash SuperSU after and you have root access.
Also you will need to block ota updates so do not enable WiFi until you have done so.
EDIT: I have just added a note to the OP about this.

I run HDX 7in ver 3.2.8 rolled back by Amazon CS with OTA blocking included, with Safestrap and Nexus 1.0.1. Why will I need to update to this and how do I do it safely?

You are in a tough situation given Amazon CS performed the 3.2.8 rollback and OTA is apparently blocked using an unknown method (likely at the Amazon servers but can't be sure).
Options as follows:
1) Contact Amazon CS and request an upgrade to 4.5.2. However, they will likely upgrade to 4.5.4 which is unrootable at present. You would then need to manually rollback to 3.2.8 followed by a manual upgrade to 4.5.2. All this involves risk with the consequence being a bricked device if things go wrong.
2) Attempt to manually update to 4.5.2 which may or may not work given the OTA block. There is less risk but the consequence of a bad upgrade is equally severe (bricked tablet).
3) Stay on FireOS 3.2.8, Safestrap v3.7.x and Nexus 1.0.1 for now. Better/safer upgrade options will likely evolve with time. Nexus 1.0.1 remains quite serviceable for all but the newest applications especially when combined with Xposed Framework and Gravitybox.
I strongly advise option #3 unless you are willing to toss your Kindle in the trash if things go wrong (or are still within your 1 year warranty).

Just to add to what Davey126. My current understanding is that a manual upgrade does indeed work. 3.2.8 only stops the OTA updates from coming through.

hey since this is running lollipop amazon os. cany you guys make a costom rom like the hdx developers do that can be booted without unlocking the bootloader. they use safestrap which is like twrp but for locked bootloaders and install custom roms. they arnt fully custom they have amazon aspects that let it boot with the locked bootloader but it is almost fully custom the hdx has a nexus rom and a cm11 rom they made for it.

Not as easily as it they were installed.
Use a root file manager, to delete or rename or move.
Use titanium backup pro or similar app, to freeze google apps
you freeze all google apps, and see if performance improved, them unfreeze google apps one at a time to see which ones are causing issues.

No need. It works on my Nexus device with 3.1.x, but it would be better to try an updated TWRP on this tablet to see if it lets me decrypt /data. Also my post is an indirect suggestion to put a warning on the original post that states it doesn't work with encryption. Hopefully it'll work with 3.1.x whenever ggow updates this. Right now, all TWRP shows me is an option to modify system, but doesn't recognize there's an encrypted partition and that's why it doesn't show me the screen where I input the password.

Field reports suggest a password prompt is raised on 3.1.x for some devices but decryption ultimately fails. Didn't dig deep enough to identify device types or commality across posts. Appears hardware dependent.

Yeah, that's why I said it's more productive to try a newer version on this tablet. I learned a lesson some months ago and no longer run any device unencrypted. That's why it's important to me.

@ggow
can we use 2ndinit source code from https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/development/firetv-1-bueller-twrp-recovery-t3383286 (thanks to @rbox for source code https://github.com/androidrbox/firetv-2ndinit ) for boot TWRP on rooted Fire up to 5.3.2.1?
my knowledges is not enough for this

No. Recoveries and ROMs built for other devices do not work. Also, 5.3.2.1 is not able to be rooted, except in one, as of now, unrepeatable instance. Lastly, only 5.0.x can boot TWRP, as Amazon removed the command in later versions.

@PorygonZRocks
I know it all
I'm talking about principle. Not about using "FireTV 1 (bueller) TWRP Recovery" as-is
As i understand, 2ndinit can be adapted for Amazon Fire with some nuances

Sorry, I probably should have read the link before talking ?
It looks cool, but I don't have the technical knowledge to know if it's portable.

Any progress on a new TWRP for this device? Your post is months old, that's why I'm wondering. A new version might finally let me decrypt /data.

What would being able to decrypt the /data do for the end user? And will we every get to a point where we dont need the super tool to boot into twrp for this device?

I assume at least one of your 5th gen Fire devices is rocking a 5.0.x bootloader. While you need a tether to load/boot TWRP the SuperTool is not required. Simply place your device in fastboot mode and issue the following command from the host command prompt;
fastboot boot <recovery.img>
....where 'recovery.img' is the name of the TWRP image. You'll need to prefix as needed depending where the image file is located.

Addressing the first question since Davey126 already addressed the second one. By the time of that post, I had my tablet encrypted and the current TWRP version in this thread never prompt me for decryption. I stopped using encryption because I read this device's SoC doesn't have AES (hardware encryption acceleration) plus Lollipop doesn't behave well when encrypted (unlike Marshmallow or later Android versions).

Removed Root on Costum FIrmware

As Mantioned in the title I accidentally removed my Root permission on my Amazon Fire . I'd tried to reeinstall busybox and after a reboot root permissions where gone :/
I also tried to use King Root again but with no luck. Flashed it with FireFlash
Model:KFFOWI
ROM:Cyanogenmod 12.1-20161122-UNOFFICIAL-ford

,
Assume you have tried re-enabling root under developer options to no avail (don't forget to reboot between attempts).
You will need to reinstall/sideload FireOS (same version that was on your device before installing CM 12.1) from stock recovery and start again. Be sure to keep device off WiFi except when running KingRoot; otherwise Amazon will push an OTA update that will block root and any hope of running a custom ROM.

Is there a way to see what version of fireOS I had ? I installed CM12 a long Time ago.
Do I really need to install the same version ?

If you go too low your device will brick. If uncertain sideload FireOS 5.3.1 which is the highest rootable build at present. You can find links in the index thread.
Do you recall using TWRP or FlashFire to install CM?

I used flashfire. I have the stock recovery so no twrp
I guess this means installing stock firmware version 5.3.1.0 via sideload will work
I will try it

Reboot both devices then follow instructions in this thread. Be sure to use the 5.3.1 bin, not the older one referenced in the video.
