There is - just have to look for it (similar chipset). Best there is; if not satisfactory create your own.
Perhaps another explanation point next time; just love those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any ideas when they will break the 5.3.1 code
Any ideas when they will break the 5.3.1 code and make a fix to add Android on it? someone has to be working on it just for the challenge to beat amazon at there own game. You know why they added 5.3.1 not for any new features on the fire...It was added to break up the mods to android.

Sure...we all have a crystal ball and know what others are doing. How's next Tuesday sound? Get right on it.
Of course each successive update to FireOS attempts to close previous vulnerabilities that permit root and other exploits. Put on your thinking cap. What's Amazon's business model? Certainly not producing inexpensive gizmos for others to turn into Google buying machines.

Not the same kind of "image" file. Do a google search on "android image extract" or "android rom image extract"
There's tools out there for it.

I'm using a "paid version" of it. And it works on gingerbread. All I'm going to say is search 4shared.com for let's golf 2 v3.0.3
It's the only version that will work on thunderbolt..

Well that is one way to do it although that would be pirating.
I will post the .apk in a few minutes.

The way I got Let's golf 2 back on my rooted bolt was to backup my current rom then flash jcase's ota then titanium backup let's golf on jcase's ota then wipe and restore my current rom then use titanium backup to restore let's golf.
I did that and now I have it for good.
Hope this helps.
i pmmed jcase and he said that it's a ext3 and to not use unyaffs, what does that mean?

google it. if it were a tough question to answer, i would just say it. your answer will come in 10 seconds after you do. just a hint, you have to mount it in linux (or there's ways on windows with 3rd party apps)
I paid for it too back when on release day. It would never restore after I changed roms. Never got much of a chance to play it.

If it's that simple wouldn't it have been just as easy to just answer his question?
I just googled it and I'm still not sure what it means.
If you are talking about the golf game, I have it installed and it runs excellent.

Because I think it's better to teach him some information than just hand it to him? I've been contributing to the thread for a few posts trying to help them out. I didn't just jump on anyone to just look it up without some guidance or additional info. That and maybe I dont want to go through the steps of download the original image of the phone, extract it myself and post it here? I don't mind helping but doing that takes way more time than typing out stuff I know off the top of my head. However, if you have the game, that's what they want so feel free to post it for them.
I'm not sure what you googled...but on the first page of typing ext3 it says "How to read Ext3/Ext4 linux partition from windows 7 | Ubuntu Geek." How hard is that? Anways, ext3 is to linux as fat32 or ntfs is to windows or UDF is to a dvd/cd (they're file systems). Just find a program that extracts or mounts it or look up how to mount it directly on linux.
If you want me to find an article for you. That's a bit much since it's the difference between needing help and information and just not wanting to type a keyword into a search engine. There's plenty of tools and information out there.
There are a few ROMs out there that still have the apk for Let's Golf 2 in them.
Here is a deodexed ROM that has the apk inside.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030608
All I did to get it on my TB was to put the apk on my SD card and install it.

[Q] rooted FHD 8.9

Hi All,
First can I say thanks to all the info providers that have allowed me to root my recently purchased kindle fire HD 8.9, so that I can use it in the UK.
I've now got Google play and can download apps and am pretty delighted with myself :laugh: :laugh:
I have one question though. Since I’ve done this, its lost my registration with Amazon so my wife can’t get her books on it. Am i safe to re sign into Amazon or will this undo all my work?
Thanks in advance
I make no guarantees but i am rooted and signed in using fhd 8.9.
I used droid wall to block a few amazon services as well as deleting the certs file to prevent updates. The updates do apparently remove root but staying signed into amazon doesnt appear to cause any problems.
Search the forums for the various methods to prevent updates, then log in and see what happens.
Edit: yes i can download and read kindle books

I have been using the same method as here

The only problem I had was getting the ADB to speak. in the end I downloaded SDK and swapped the ADB batch file into the folder in the link above. It then spoke fine.

Root for Fire OS 4.5.2

Hey,
I found a German thread here where the managed to root the latest Fire OS Version, see http://www.android-hilfe.de/amazon-...s-4-5-2-funktioniert-root-ja.html#post8436942. This post links to Firerooter (https://plus.google.com/+GranPC/posts/W412cQkHTCw) which is a tool to root the kindle HD 7. Isn't it possible to use this method to root also the HDX 7 with Fire OS 4.5.2? I'm asking cause I'm not so familiar with android developing, but maybe some experts here could answer the question and if possible port it for the HDX devices.
Greetings,
Alex

How can I return to stock OS?

Hey Guys,
I've been using Eureka rom for a while now and I realised that I don't actually need any features from it anymore now that Netflix is available in my region.
I looked around and I couldn't find any guides on how to restore my Chromecast to stock so I was wondering if anyone knows how it can be done?
Any help?

You may want to consider using the Stock OS with updates disabled version, as that version does preserve the bootloader vulnerability, so you can still use FlashCast to flash a new ROM later. In fact, you will have to since Google OTA updates (which would patch the bootloader vulnerability) are disabled and there are no automatic ROM updates like with Eureka-ROM.
If you still want to return to true stock, consider trading with someone who wants a rooted device. Rootable devices are more and more difficult to find nowadays, so you could help out someone who really does want/need a rooted Chromecast.
Otherwise, PM one of the Team Eureka members and they can provide you a true stock ROM to flash. The reason why the ROM is not publicly available is because it is a one-way trip - once you return to stock, you cannot get root back as the HubCap vulnerability will be patched. It's far too likely that someone will accidentally (and permanently) unroot their Chromecast and be upset.

Awesome thanks for the help.
I'll try selling it on ebay or something first, otherwise I'll ask someone from Team Eureka for a fully stock rom.
(p.s. if anyone wants a rooted chromecast let me know. )
