Just rooted - now no sound? - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used the Bin4ry method for rooting and it worked like a charm. I generally don't use sound on my Kindle, but my kids do when they do their book apps or videos. I just noticed that I have no sound in any app. I've confirmed the volume is up, I've rebooted twice. I'm not sure what else to check.
If I want to factory reset and see if that will help, will I still be rooted, or do I need to unroot before I can even do that?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Edit: I was already on software version 8.3.0 when I rooted if that matters...

You didn't falsh anything, did you?
Audio did work like a charm for me although after rooting until flashing it to CM 10.1.

Nope. I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191010
I didn't do the TWRP step and I didn't flash CM.
I loaded Nova Prime from the play store and set it as my default launcher, and started setting up my homescreen. I haven't even done the OTA kill script yet.

Just in case somebody finds this thread after having a similar problem:
Did a factory reset after confirming that SuperUser, my launcher, and the Play Store related apks were all set as system apps. Sound came back and everything's running great now.

[Q] Netflix?

Anyone have any luck getting Netflix to work? I downloaded and tried it and before I edited the build.prop file as per the instructions on Lifehacker (I can't post a link).
The application opened fine but I got the "not supported for your device" message. So I then edited the build.prop file and now when I try to open Netflix it just shuts down asap - in an instant. I tried both edits but with the same results. My Defy is rooted but is running the version of Froyo that came with the phone - I got my Defy the day it was upgraded to Froyo (fortunately). I am happy with the way it works so I have been hesitant to try putting another ROM on there. I use the Zeam Launcher which took away all the Motoblur stuff (seemingly).
It would be pretty sweet to have Netflix!
Thanks
Will be watching this thread, since my wife is *****ing about me having Netflix on my HD2 and she wants it on her Defy
more info
For some reason, I lost Swype. I made a back-up of the build.prop file so I think I should be okay. I just think that this phone as the ability to run Netflix -the app opened fine and looked great but recognized that I was not a supported device. I thought editing the file would solve but instead it instantly shuts the app down. Strange. And losing Swype?! Weird.
Netflix on Defy???
Anybody have it working on Defy yet?

After you edited the build.prop you may need to go and clear the Netflix cache. If that doesn't work do a complete uninstall of it then reinstall. Hopefully that will work.
CM7
I finally just installed CM7 and Netflix works great. You will get a popup about a new version that doesn't exist but just hit cancel and stream away. Really awesome. CM7 is much better.

Xposed won't update or uninstall with FlashFire

hello all, I appreciate any help you can give me. I also apologize if this has already been answered, as I couldn't find anything that worked for me.
I've recently been logged out of Snapchat, and when I tried to log back in, I was met with an error, which seems to be a pretty common issue with Xposed users.
so since I have the Verizon g4, I cant flash the uninstall zip with a custom recovery. FlashFire allows me to choose the zip and it appears to shut down and then turn back on ~45 seconds later, but the Xposed framework is still installed. I read another thread where someone mentioned that updating to v79 of Xposed and then uninstalling worked, but it doesn't work for me, as v74 is still installed.
I'm lost on options at the moment, besides a factory reset

V4A beyond frustrating

Every time I return to stock or try out a new rom, one of the first things I do is install V4A. Well, I try. After taking care of the prerequisites (rooting, busybox, making a backup), I install the V4A app but when I try to install the driver I always get the error message about a bad busybox install. So, why is that busybox says it installed just fine and I get no errors from any other apps (Honestly, not sure if I have any other apps that use busybox for anything) but V4A refuses to install that driver on any rom?
To be clear; I have had V4A work just fine before but, more often than not, it simply does not want to cooperate. This particular time I'm trying out the ResurrectionRemix rom (T700), but I can't even get V4A working on stock either. Yes, I flashed the 2 zip files from the appropriate thread.
This v4a workaround for the Galaxy S6 is working flawlessly with all ROMs I have tried so far on my Tab s:

Well, this was working. For whatever reasons, it decided to stop. It asked me again to install the driver but it now says it failed because of busybox. I've done everything including restoring stock through Smart Switch and trying from scratch and it still didn't work. It seems I'm the only one having all these problems with v4a.

I am having the same exact problems as you. I followed everything exact to the T and V4A never worked; though I have not done the above method (yet). I'm running the 10.5 with ironrom v2.5.5 rooted.

Netflix issues after root?

Hi all, I recently rooted my phone and for some reason Netflix won't launch at all. It just hangs on the Netflix logo. If I reninstall the app on first launch the app will force close and then after re-lauch it will once again hang on the Netflix logo. I've cleared the cache and deleted any folders relating to netflix. I'm not sure what to try next or if anyone has any advice on how to fix this that would be amazing. thank you!
Edit: I've found a solution to this problem! Follow this guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...le-netflix-t3708126/post74586497#post74586497
After downloading and installing the old April 2017 Netflix app simply lauch
The app and sign in. After you have signed in update the app on Google play
And you should be good to go! Hope this helps anyone else with the same
Issue ?
Netflix doesn't work on rooted deviced it checks if your device is rooted and if so won't work.

I've had Netflix work on every previous rooted phone i have had, is this just a Razer phone issue? Even hiding the root from Netflix in Magisk doesn't seem to do anything.

The bootloader needs to be locked. I would not advise trying it unless the phone is 100% stock as there have been issues mentioned in the past.

It's either root or bootloader it checks but it's only something they started doing months ago. pokemon go does it too.

Damn, that's discouraging. No wonder why I've been holding off rooting this device. I'm not use to a/b root anyway. Before my razer, I had an s5 for many years so I know a lot of things have changed since then.

Is it possible to restore Netflix after flashing?

It's been already 3-4 days where I'm flashing, bricking and restoring my phone, all this for a crappy gcam... But anyway, after first flash I see that OTA updates are ****ed up, but that's ok, Netflix still works just fine. Fast forwarding to today, I flash again stock ROM after being stuck without touchscreen on TWRP, but this time weirdly enough OTA updates work just fine, in fact now I'm have March update, but Netflix just doesn't install itself. So I check on the play store and I don't find it, I check on internet and I see that it doesn't work on rooted phones... Guess what, mine isn't rooted at all. But still has it's bootloader unlocked.
Do you have Google Play Protect ON in Settings -> Security & location?

install netflix from apkmirror, Wipe data and cache from playstore and reboot. It could be the bootloader unlocked, in that case youll have to root it with magisk to get the safetnet working.
