[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cpadrr:
OK, I'm new to ROM flashing and Rooting on Android. I have used computers for many years and using Android is new for me.

I used Odin to Flash KJ4 (Honeycomb 3.2). I then tried using Z4Root to root my device. It said it worked, but I still do not have root access. I then tried running Root.zip in Recovery mode. All seemed to work well, but I'm still do not have root access.

What I am doing wrong???

Thanks for your help!

Question from Sweden. I have a 7300 with compile nr XWKI3 and that is Android 3.1. Anyone got 3.2 in Sweden? I´ve checked with Kies and from tablet and it says my tablet is up to date. Are there any settings I should check.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cpadrr:
I installed Superuser Elite. I understand that sets permissions, but it does seem to work because I believe the root never happened.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00450:
So my phone is a little messed up so I want to completely restore it to factory settings. Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly with the steps outlines below:

1. Back-Up current ROM/kernel with Nandroid back-up.

2. Back-Up all apps with Titanium Back-Up

3. Delete /data

4. Follow this guide to restore to original state by downloading the correct files and flashing via Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=stock+roms

So is it going to be okay if I wipe /data and then flash with Odin? I want a completely new fresh installation, and then I can recover everything and root again at the end.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genrauser:
I think you forget doing the wipes before flashing the new clean rom with Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00450:
Well isn't that why I should delete /data?

Alright as the title says I can't get root on 2.3.4 I've tried the one click method and after its done it says phone is rooted but the app drawer does not show the su app. I'm also not very good at using adb with no success I wasn't able to get that started. Can someone help me?
[Motorola Droid X2] reaktorblue:
I recommend using the guide found here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315711

So, I assume you've used Pete's Rooting Tool, with that said, am I assuming correctly that, this tool is what said you were successfully rooted?

Also, what launcher are you running on your DX2? Some launchers give you the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and perhaps that app is hidden. A better way to check for this app would be to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> "All Tab" -> Scroll and look for Superuser

I'd also give it another shot. Make sure you pay close attention to the steps provided, sometimes it's easy to miss one of the steps. If you're still having problems, post back some of the things you've checked and we can continue to help you troubleshoot the issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] dodge_408:
Using Petes one click I was never successfully rooted even tho on the computer screen it says I was successfully rooted.

The one thing I noticed while using Petes one click is that my phone is only rebooted once during the whole process. Also I'm running adw ex and the apps aren't hidden.
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
Try the new zerg method in the 2.3.5 leak post. It works pretty smooth although the petes one shouldwork for ya.
[Motorola Droid X2] Mr_GreenJeans:
Pete's did the same for me way back when.. I used the attached instead with no problems. Found it somewhere on XDA back when 2.3.4 was found.http://bayfiles.com/file/1bXj/1SEtQA/DROID_3_easy_root_script_v7.zip

I just bought a bunch of tabs for my business. I rooted one before I updated it and it worked fine, but wouldn't update. I then updated one and now it won't root.

I'm really a total noob when it comes to rooting. I haven't even touched flashing. I would rather keep it as stock as possible. I'm mostly rooting it to remove bloatware. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, please help.

I've run superoneclick 2.2 and run zergrush, but that seems to stall out.

Market (Force Closes when updates or downloads are attempted)

UPDATE 2: All of my gapps are working now with the exception of Market. Any ideas as to how to get market running?

UPDATE: I was able to sign into my account, but the only app that doesn't force close is books. Market and gmail both force close when I try to open them.

I am online and able to surf the internet right now on my fire just fine . . . but for some reason when I try to sign into my google account I get the error

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.

His could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."

Any ideas?

I am rooted and have BusyBox installed​
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DarkSi08:
Everything is working great for me except Talk, which won't install.

As far as the market, I have no problem installing it, but it doesn't create an icon. If I choose to open the market immediately after installing, however, it opens, and works flawlessly.

For those with the market issue, you may want to chmod the vending.apk to 6775 to correct permissions. Maybe that'll help? You'll have to do it locally with a terminal emulator though, I've had no luck getting ADB to give me root access.

The reason I mention chmod is, I had originally pushed the files out to the system/app folder manually, and set permissions, but I had no way to open the apps that way, since the fire is very picky on what it gives icon space to, unlike vanilla android. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
This worked PERFECT. market works now - installed the apk by opening it from file manage on the kindle, then navigated to /data/app and fixed permissions - as to your google talk issue, I just copied talk.apk directly into /system/app, fixed permissions, and rebooted, and it showed up in ADW Launcher as installed and worked perfectly - doesnt show up in the kindle launcher tho.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ckong1:
What are the correct permissions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
rw-r--r--

644? i think is the number?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ckong1:
I wasn't able to launch google talk from kindle launcher, but once I installed Go Launcher talk came up right away and works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
mybad. I'm an idiot. Yeah, I have adw launcher installed - it showed up on there, not the kindle launcher.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DarkSi08:
Ah, makes sense. I haven't considered installing any other launchers yet.

I wonder what it is about the stock launcher that suppresses installed apps from showing up. It makes no sense to me that gmail and maps would show up as they should, but not the marketplace and talk.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ckong1:
Ok got Talk working perfectly. What's the correct permissions for the market?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
rwx for owner, just r for the other 2. I'm unrooted now so i can no longer see the numbers...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ckong1:
Still getting FC's for the Market app...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
did you install it by copying over the apk to the device and selecting it, or copy it directly to /system/app - it force closed on me if i copied it to /system/app, but if i just copied it over to the internal sd, selected it and installed, and then fixed the permissions of the installed vending.apk in /data/app, it worked.

Just want to include that I had to restart after installing the framework for even books to work correctly. This is on non-rooted. Working gmail only one tried so far.

Thanks for all the help, but still not working... this will all be moot once custom roms are made. I might have to wait till...

Hi everyone---sorry for the ignorance.

I have installed vending.apk / google framework.

I have installed a terminal emulator

I am getting the 'times out' error when trying to sign into my google account

as I understand it i need to reset permissions on vending.apk

I can't get it to work--

i ahve gone into terminal emulator and tried:

chmod 6775 /system/app/vending.apk

and

chmod 6775 /data/app/vending.apk

in both instances i get a "no such file or directory" error.

Any help would be appreciated---thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jolleyboy:
Two things

1. Have you restarted your kindle yet?

2. In terminal type "ls" to get a list of all of the files in /data/app mine was named com.android.vending-1.apk or something similar to that.

If you aren't in /data/app or /system/app yet your "ls" will do nothing for you. You can get there via terminal by typing

cd ..

cd ..

cd ..

(This should get you back to the root of your drive from wherever your terminal starts you)

cd /data

cd /app

or

cd /system

cd /app

Once you are in the right directory and have the correct app name you can just type

chmod 6775 com.android.vending-1.apk (replacing com.android.vending-1.apk with whatever your market installed as.

Really though, you don't need to do any of that check my post a few entries up and there are much simpler instructions.

Good luck!

[Kindle Fire Android Development] abremel:
If you're installing market the way those of us who got it working did, you almost need root to set the permissions, as as far as i know of, you can't even browse /data/app without root, let alone make changes there.
