Hulu app
I thought I would share this link with everyone. I downloaded the hulu app and it looks good. The only thing is that auto rotate was disabled and I couldn't figure out how to go full screen.

That would be great. Thank you. When you unzip the folder it should look like the file that I've attached here.
I might be a noob, but I don't understand how anyone is able to change setcpu when it tries to OC the phone before SU permissions. Unless the winrar I have is corrupt and it's skipping it,
havent tried it yet (charging phone) plus im currently reformatting my 4G with MikG for the wifey and redoing my 3D after i get it charged up.
however.
i noticed you have only one overclock (do you need befor and after OTA?)
and only one script to root (no root and reroot. which doesnt really matter because if the file is already there it will skip it in theory)

personally what i do (maybe overkill) is keep the .apk for setcpu on sd card and when i know i am going to do a full reboot (not fast reboot) i uninstall setcpu, reboot, reroot, then install setcpu and do my profiles.
again this may be overkill but..... it works for me EVERY TIME ! (and i was using panam script till now)

First of all thank you for testing this out. I discovered why it wasn't working and have updated the Original Post accordingly. You were correct regarding the .dll files being in the wrong place but just moved the other files to the wrong location. Why it wasn't working on yours or others Windows machines had to do with the environmental variables. On my PC I have adb configured in my PATH. This was allowing adb to run with the .dll files in my android-sdk-windows folder. If you don't have adb in your PATH than it never would have worked the way that it was set up. I believe I have corrected this and it should be working 100%. Please give it another try and let me know if there's any problems.
Great thank you! This should work for everybody now. I've updated the OP.
Can someone please confirm as working?

I have spent days looking for threads so this neewb is about to break something. Well maybe not. I have my daughters Eris 2.1 and am trying to root it for her. I have tried several times with different methods. The issue is that I can get into recovery mode after every 1 click app but nothing I try will let me toggle to unzip to SD, or toggle to anything for that matter, volume wont do it and all track ball will do is let me select reboot. Man my DX was easy compared to the one click method.
HELP PLEASE,
If the trackball is having trouble scrolling, I'd install the trackball-optional custom recovery so you can use other buttons to scroll. There are instructions for doing this here:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
It sounds like you fall into "Scenario 2" which says you should follow the same method as "Scenario 1" to get rooted using the trackball-optional recovery.
I'll give it a shot, The help is much appreciated,
I am been trying to help him to get this thing to add the Custom Recovery, but every root format has not worked at all. Most are outdated or there are files missing. Specially on the link provided above. The download for the scripts no longer has Root_1 or Root_2, it has a bunch of other stuff there for gscript. Found an link on Droidforums for gscript for rooting and the scripts don't work.
Any complete instructions anywhere?

popfan,
I am not aware that any of the above links or files are missing... Can you point-out / tell me specifically which files you cannot access / download / link-to?
The root_part1 and root_part2 files are part of erisuser1's (bftb0's) Universal Root for Dummies! thread that I do reference in my AF thread, but these should still be up, active, and available.
So, I'm not sure if you are speaking about becoming rooted or installing a my trackball-optional custom recovery.
Let us know.
Cheers!
Im sure my kid has shuned me for leaving her Eris with someone so thanks to everyone for the help. Pop is helping me out and after moving file at the point where it says to open and look to see root 1 and root2 they are not there and there are a ton of other stuff. Also the pick look different than on the thread like the app has been updated. Also when doing the ball recovery there is no tools folder to be found. I'm sure pop wont touch it again till tomorrow so any other help / advice is more than welcome or it may cost me my Dx

LOL, sorry, didn't make/see the connection between your two posts .
Okay, let's try something new here...
Just a week or so ago, I re-packed jcase's 1-click rooting app to include my trackball-optional recovery image in lieu of the original recovery that his app includes.
So, let's have you re-root using the new 1-click app (all credit to jcase, both for his app and his threads both here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228 and over at AF http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/139178-universal-1-click-eris-app-apk-no-pcs-no-scripts-needed-easy.html).
Since you've already used the 1-click app before, then all you'll have to do is grab my new "trackball-optional" version:
https://sites.google.com/site/scaryalienware/downloads/one-click-tbo.apk
MD5 sum: 15763b51cf707c027cc73bc117e1fc39
(the "tbo" in the name stands for "trackball optional" ).
Just follow the same process you did before while running the 1-click app and you should end-up with my trackball-optional recovery installed.
Let me know how it goes (you'll be the first besides me that I know of that has tried it; the user that I created it for to test has not yet responded, LOL).
Cheers!
I tried this link below. It no longer has the root_1 and root_2 in it.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=774XYFRA
I did use your "updated" 1-click app with tbo and it worked great.
Thanks!!
Too bad this phone was not as easy as my captivate.

Glad that jcase's repackaged app worked for you. I'll update my documentation to make this available to others.
Also, re. the above Megaupload link...it works just fine for me (from my PC and from my Droid X) and includes all of the aforementioned root_part1/2 files.
I think you've fallen prey to a truncated download, which is not uncommon with Megaupload in my experience. This is also why is important to double-check the file sizes and MD5 checksums of files that you download so that you know you got the whole-shebang; notice that erisuser1 did include the MD5 in his thread for this file:
- Download gscript.zip (MD5 92796a8c6e61e8f1ee36e315c0acae7d)
I've often found it helpful to use a different browser other than the stock browser (like Opera Mini) when doing downloads via my Eris since the stock browser does seem to have more issues (timeouts perhaps) than it should.
Cheers!
Thanks to all this tuff till you hooked us up but now on to nightmare 2
I downloaded CyanogenMod7.1.0 RC1 [2.3.5 GingerBread NIGHTLY]
from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Got it up but it has no market so I can not get to titanium, boot loader or anything... It says to flash google apps after the rom but now Im back to the trackball / volume key issue because it's all in titanium. ??? I did a factory reset and it came back up as the new ROM, ???
EDIT UPDATE!!!!
Sorry for the hassle all, the "green" start call button works as the down after the download.. All is well.. I think..
Again thanks to you all, If I hear of any good deals on an Eris I will know why.
You need to download GAPPS to your sdcard. That is why you don't have market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430&highlight=ROM
Its just below link for the rom and save it to your sdcard. Go ahead boot into recovery and wipe data, daliv-cache, cache; Flash Rom again, then flash gapps and reboot.
This is a compilation, some of my own thoughts combined with ideas from others scattered throughout this forum... I really can't credit anyone other than who has already been credited above because it's just standard ideas.
Please feel free to add legitimate tips and tweaks to this thread so everyone can have a better TP experience! If it's noteworthy and people say it's helpful, I will add it to this OP!
1. Download the proper GAPPS and GAPPS fix to get Calendar working (thanks Stroid01, I borrowed your links from the original install thread)
2. Download the Charging and SystemUI fix from Dalingrin
3. Download Chainfire3D and install the Beta EGL drivers. Why? They fixed a lot of visual glitches that came with the stock ones.
4. Download and install the latest Adobe Flash 11.1 from the Market to enable Flash video, otherwise it won't work right out of the gate.
5. Enable USB transfer: Settings -> Storage -> Advanced (the 3 little dots in the top right corner) -> USB computer connection, then check the box next to "Media Device (MTP)"
6. It was in my best interest to change the DPI of the LCD, it'll look much better and the icons won't be so huge, my favorite has been 132 (though others have reported 145 to be good as well): Edit the build.prop in Root Explorer (mount R/W first) and change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density = 160" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 132"
7. Install the cracked Market to fix any issues with your new DPI settings (Thanks, marios96)
8. To run Gamelot games edit your build.prop (it's located in your /system directory) to say this (I changed mine to XOOM instead of DROIDX but the idea is the same, thanks ssconceptziew):
ro.product.model=DROIDX
manufacturer=motorola
I guess this could be moved to the Development forum, I just thought this would be appropriate here since it's not actually involving developing something, just tweaks.
thanks, guess i will try the chainfire thing
How did you install chainfire. Tells me my device isnt compatible. And where do i find the drivers. Thanks in advance

When I try to install an app in the market, it gets stuck at the downloading stage. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried doing a fresh wipe and install of CM9 but nothing has worked! Also, I'm having problems downloading the UI fix. The countdown keeps on repeating.
Thanks. Looks much better now.
On WinXP I could not get MTP to work until I disabled debugging. Once I did that it showed up on my computer as a media device.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15568-rel-market-fix-dpi-compatibility/
Also install the cracked market from above to fix any compability issues with the new DPI.

Find an APK online. I'm not telling you to go get warez and download the pro version, I'm saying go get a free version.
And Chainfire is a driver program. That's what it's for, installing new drivers
I already got the pro version . The free version dosnt have the driver

Yeah, there's no voltage control in SetCPU even though he states it in his change logs. It does work in System Tuner though.
Tried, and you're right. The different kernel is a bit more unstable at this point in time, however. I am using it, but it's not for those that don't mind more frequent reboots (what's funny is that this is also my primary work device.... lol).
I have a tweak.
To run Gameloft Games edit your build.prop to say this:
ro.product.model=DROIDX

Hey Kids, I figured it was getting kind of boring around here so I'm releasing a little tool I've been using for a while now. It's just what it says, an "Auto Flasher". It will flash any rom, any kernel, backup data, restore data, fix permissions, etc. With full wipe function or just a cache and delvik wipe. All from the comforts of your pc. Just plug in your evo3d with usb debugging enabled and some room on your sdcard and off you go. Oh, almost forgot. This will also Odex all your system apk's if you like. It's on the menu. Even if you have some odexed, it will skip over those.
Things to do first:
1. Run the AF4.5setup.exe. Choose a location (I like the desktop) to run it from. It will create a folder called Auto Flasher V4.5.
1.a Run the 2.08setup.exe and the 2.17setup.exe *(these are just RUU 2.08 and RUU 2.17. Download them even if you already have them. The exe will install them to the proper folder.)
2. Open the Auto Flasher V4.5\Place-Files-Here\ROM folder and copy paste your rom of choice.
3. Open the Auto Flasher V4.5\Place-Files-Here\Kernel folder and copy paste your kernel of choice (if your flashing a kernel).
4. Make sure USB debugging is on and you have about 500 mb on your sdcard.
5. If you need HTC drivers, look in the \Drivers folder. (Install them first).
6. Run the Auto_Flasher_V4.5.bat.
7. Sit back with a brew and watch the show. (It will prompt you a couple of times for some yes and no questions).
NOTES:
I had to separate the .exe's because of file size limitations on DevHost. If your not doing a firmware change then you don't need them. But I recommend you download them.
When restoring data, run your rom first for a couple of minutes. I found everything takes nicer.
When running "11. Fastboot Radio/Wimax Flasher" Please make sure you don"t interrupt this. You won't like the results. If something goes wrong, you will have to flash your radio manually because you'll be in a nasty bootloop.
This is a beta release. Many improvements on the way.
Disclaimer:
If you say I bricked your phone. I will laugh. Nothing this does can't be undone with a nand restore. So for the love of god, DO A NAND BACKUP FIRST!!!

Hello ive not done any guides before but since i had to search all over to try find out what i was looking for and stumbled across a lot of good information and thought id share it. None of this was my findings but there isn't anything clear on how to actually accomplish this on a Fire stick.
Im going to attempt to share how i have managed.
This guide assumes you already know how to transfer files to your stick.
First off, current Fire stick os is 5.2.1.0 and is rootable with Kingoroot.
https://root-apk.kingoapp.com
1. Download Kingoroot and ADB to your Fire stick, do this whichever way you normally get apk/files onto your Fire stick.
2. Download Kingoroot superuser and ADB to your Fire stick.
3. Run the Kingoroot tool and let it finish, when you have root, install Kingo roots Superuser. (If you install this before rooting it wont make any difference).
Now you should have a rooted Fire stick on 5.2.1.0 with Kingoroots SuperUser.
Now its time to downgrade your Fire stick. This file was provided by AFTVnews over at another thread and cuki3r3k83bln accomplished downgrade on the thread also so please leave thanks for them as before he posted the file and information i had no idea it was possible. Im suggesting to download the 5.0.5 file as i did because this was when firestarter worked with home button detection.
Download Fire Stick os 5.0.5
http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...te-kindle-montoya-54.5.3.7_user_537174420.bin
Once you have it downloaded rename the downloaded file to update.bin.
Im going to explain how i did it, i know there is many other variations on how to accomplish this and im not too familiar with adb commands but the way i will show is the way it worked for me.
We need to transfer the downloaded and renamed update.bin to the Fire stick so if you would like to transfer it with apps to fire or through command or any other variation thats fine but ill show commands used from windows laptop using adbLink.
Please note, if your using a different method to transfer you will have to slightly modify step 5 on where your update.bin is stored so cd /sdcard/download. if your update.bin is stored in download folder.
Another note is to make sure your file name is correct, mine was named update.bin.bin rather than update.bin this was fine just make sure to name it correctly or you will have to modify step 6 and step 8.
1. Open up adbLink and connect your device.
2. Push the update.bin to the sdcard. (this takes quite alot of time as your pushing 311mb file so be patient)
3. Once pushed you need to open up ADB Shell.
4. Run the command: su
5. Run the command: cd /sdcard
6. Run the command: mv ./update.bin /cache/
If you get an error about no space on device do the following:
Run the command rm -f /cache/*.bin
Run the command rm -f /cache/*.zip
Run the command exit
Run the command exit then reopen ADB Shell in adbLink repeat step 6.
7. Run the command cd /cache/recovery
8. Run the command echo --update_package=/cache/update.bin > command
9. Run the command reboot recovery
Your Fire stick should automatically start the downgrade and take 10 minutes or so.
As soon as its finished go back to your Kingoroot app and re-root your Fire stick. Then block updates (method 1) using AFTVnews guide at:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-software-updates-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/
You should now be on 5.0.5 rooted and have updates blocked
All your apps should be still intact. Make sure you uninstall appstarter/firestopper and reinstall firestarter 3.2.3 (if you use it)
Then follow AFTVnews guide on how to re-enable it here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-cont...v-and-fire-tv-stick-software-version-5-0-5-1/
Please give the credit deserved to @AFTVnews.com and @cuki3r3k83bln
Its suggested all over to hold off before doing anything that could brick the device until rbox releases a recovery.
Please do not use any type of Su modifying tool/script/apk eg: SuperSume as these do not work and you will end up with a small brick.
Also its been pointed out to me by @deanr1977 that if your going to use this guide and decide to update Fire Stick os in the future, it maybe safer to unroot it first.
With that out of the way please excuse the bad layout of the guide as im no expert and would like to just share my experience.
Would I be able to go back to 5.2.1.0 once custom recovery and rom is released?

i cant see any reason why not, either grab the 5.2.1.0 .bin file and follow the guide using that or let it automatically update after re-enabling updates.
Are there any reasons for downgrading to 5.0.5? Does it have any advantages?

As far as im aware upto now, it seems that Firestarter home button detection works as it should, and firmware after this Firestarter will not work with home button detection.
Which is a big thing for me personally as i only use Firestick for netflix and kodi and its much easier to launch from within Firestarter.
Its good to know that the process of upgrading/downgrading is applicable to Fire stick as you never know what Amazon will try to take from you.
You sir are my hero. Kudos for the tutorial!

Its not recommended to let it auto update from root, unroot first then re-enable the update progress.
Also please can you note in your guide that its not recommended to try to swap the Su for Chainfires Su with the Super Sume or Super Sumepro app because so many people on this forum have bricked with this method & if any new users try your way & after want to unroot/swap method after the first boot they could have a non working device.
Ive not tried this guide myself (i dont need too) but if its working fine this info would be good to have here.

Fair point about pointing out about the brickable and dangerous su swapping methods with supersu me etc.
I will add a mention about it after the line that reads:
'Its suggested all over to hold off before doing anything that could brick the device until rbox releases a recovery.'
As for not recommended to auto update while rooted, ive had 2 sticks and a Fire Tv 2 auto update from 5.0.5 to 5.0.5.1 and then to 5.2.1.0 when my router was reset, (im sure im not the only one from what ive read either).
But since im a helping type of guy ill add this also.
Ok mate, just going by what's been said from the AFTVNews & Amazon Firestick forums. Glad you are including this thanks, Its just some only skim through the threads & read only the parts they want to so if this is included it may cut down on the "I've bricked my Amazon device please help threads" which clog up the forum.

i'm trying to downgrade to the point where display mirroring worked on windows devices, this is before 5.0.5, can i use this method to downgrade to another bin before 5.0.5?

Id take a stab and say if your stick originally came with a firmware below 5.0.5 but I honestly do not know as ive not tried but I cant see why it wouldnt work. You can go from 5.2.1.0 to 5.0.5.1 or to 5.0.5 so id imagine so.
What features have been removed by 5.0.5? Im interested myself and may try this myself if there is features I could use.
Amazing! I can't believe this was hard to find as all the news out there say you can only root the stick using a hardware mod.
I downgraded and rooted both my Sticks. Installed Firestarter 3.2.3, installed Seeder, removed unneeded processes from running and these things are super quick now. You still have to load the crappy slow Amazon launcher to keep the settings but oh well. Nicely done, now I hope a recovery option comes out and I can mess around further . Heatsink and overclocking anyone? lol
@vulcan4d recovery & prerooted rom is being worked on at the moment by rbox in this forum

Can I ask what processes you removed/stopped and how you accomplished this?
Id like to do the same on 2 of my sticks.

I would like to give credit to this post for removing unneeded services:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/root-disabling-apps-services-bloat-t3325333
I only found a few from the list but that list was meant for a Fire TV so I'm sure there is more running. Just launch ADB Shell in ADBFire/Link and type pm disable <service_name>

Thanks ive disabled them as per the guide you linked to. Can I further ask what the program seeder does and whether to have it set to aggressive or not?
Thanks for the info.
@sconnyuk i've downgraded successfully kingo root'ed stick 5.2.1->5.0.5 . But funny thing was under root shell command "wipe data " .It wiped device clean but root still stays on . Got OTA disabled and my other king root 5.0.5 stick will have similar treatment .

You will need to unroot it for root to go.
Kingoroot has the option to do this if its what you want.
You need mouse toggle for fire tv to navigate to the 'in app' menu icon if not plug fire stick into pc and run Windows version of Kingoroot to unroot.
Interesting, I just bought a 3rd Amazon stick to root. After running KingRoot, I've noticed I did not need to install KingUser at all. If you launch KingRoot again it allows you to launch KingoUser which is the same thing. I'm assuming that KingUser is just an updated version of what KingRoot already installs.
Sconnyuk, I checked all the boxes and chose Moderate. This was also mentioned in the XDA forums however sadly I cannot find the post anymore. Seeder is an application that has been around for a while which improves the response time on Android devices. There is a lot of technical details into how it works, but the point is the Amazon stick is not the fastest thing in the world and anything helps. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Miracast display mirroring became non-compliant with windows systems, it still works fine with android.
**does not yet work for 7.1.1**
Using a PC to root seems like moving backwards compaired to a 'one click' apk. but we're already at the PC to flash eng_boot, plus this new method is so much faster...so here we go
Features:
SuperSU 2.82
Init.d
Wifi fix
Flashlight fix
Issues:
For the wifi fix I just copied an edited J320a build.prop
So J320AZ users will see J320A in about device, and will have to reassign notification sounds. (Hope to fix it in the future)
Needed Files:
Odin
Root_J320A.zip
Procedure:
1. Unzip both files.
2. Run Odin click the 'AP' button.
3. Navigate to Root_J320A/bin and select sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar and press "Start" (make sure NOT to check re-partition)
4. After it completes sucessfully, leave the phone hooked to the pc... and then wait, wait a good 2 or 3 minutes after its booted.
5. Once 2 or 3 minutes has gone by you can navigate to the Root_J320A folder.
6. There you'll see root.bat, double click that let it do its thing.
6a. If at any time during the script you see "adb out of date. killing..." hit the x to close the window and restart the script.
*This may work on J320AG models but make sure you check oem unlock from dev settings first... and let us know how it goes
Enjoy

Excellent! This works perfectly! Thank you so much for posting this.
J320A PC9 worked perfectly!
March security patch
Hi man, this method support the march security patch, or are still in january security patch
I tested on AQD2 so it'll work on AQC1 too.
I assume it'll work for all 6.0 updates we get.

I suggest you put 'root' in the tile, otherwise google cannot find it.
I googled 'j320a root', google only links to ashyx's post which doesn't... well maybe only mine phone.
I am new to this root bit.
Possibly I have done something wrong. I read your instructions carefully and quit didn't understand where the unzipped files should go. Do any of these have to be placed in the phone's directory?
Failed on my AT&T SM-J320A
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new update pushed out recently
@JeffF73
Run Odin and Click ap.
Navigate to the directory where you unzipped root_j320a.zip.
In that folder you'll see a bin folder, inside that is sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar, which needs flashed to the phone.
Once that's complete, let it boot and wait.
Then run root.bat

Hello DamienMc Thank you for your reply and help. I figured it out. I had to put my phone in "Download Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home Button and Power button while booting. Then I was able to use Odin without failing. This solved all my problems thank you
Is it safe to flash this after doing this?

Yes, that has selinux set to permissive as well, although there's no real difference. The build.prop differences are noticable tho...I plan on doing an update to this, just have to figure out how to tell if it's A or AZ from adb

Yes, it works for QC1. However, you may need to replace build.prop in /bin from QC1 with WiFi fix before root.
I did notice that after root, the contents of /Android/data folders in both internal storage and external sd card are hidden from PC. Before root, both are visible from PC. Any thoughts about what cause the changes?
Will this work on July security patch?

Probably the eng_boot we use, it breaks the flashlight and wifi passwords too... it does work on j320a July update, so I assume it'll work on j320az update too
@DamienMc Dude, thanks for ur post, but i tried 2 times and fail, i got stuck at logo, i had to reflash to stock but now my build.prop is gone or corrupted, my phone says model unknow, i cant even use hidden menus like *#06, etc, i need the original file to fix it please. model SM-J320A RUNING QC1

Reflash CSC as well, that'll wipe your device but fix your problem.
Are you sure you waited long enough after the phone booted before rooting?
If at any time during the script you see it say "adb server out of date. Killing..." something is wrong. You can x the command prompt and do root.bat again.

This was the first time i ever tried to root my phone and i followed the instructions located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/how-to/root-samsung-sm-j320a-galaxy-express-t3573628
Well my wifi wouldnt save any passwords , flashlight was broken and my ATT J320A would always want to boot in to recovery mode. I thought i was screwed!!!! Then i seen one link in the thread to this thread where Kingroot was not needed.
I opened Odin and gave a shot and then ran Root.bat file, and the device rebooted wifi and flashlight were fixed and best of all my J3 was now rooted!!!!!
Still working on getting rid of that annoying pop up but all is good, thanks so much for this root and fix from the other thread.

@james2ya If you are talking about the pop that either says something in the order of "Unathorized activities where made" go to the play store, download and install SecurityLogAgent Fix, Open it up and click "Disable Securitylogagent" then restart phone when it asks. This should help get rid of that popup.
works great for me! now i just need a custom rom. is it possible to install trwp on j320a?
