[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Quipster:
No. almost all customized ROMs come pre-rooted. This means that all contents and apps associated with root is included and sometimes Deveolpers include extra apps (mostly tools associated apps).

Needless to say, the only apps you have to re-install are the ones you've downloaded from the market. If you have any paid apps you would like to keep, make a back up via Titanium back up before doing any flashing... Other than that, you don't ever have to root again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milton.bain:
once you make backup via titanium / my backup you are safe! whenever i make backup, i select apk+data. Once you install xrecovery.... test it. try to make a backup aor try to install custom rom. if you get error message like "can't mount sdcard", etc.... it means that you have a faulty xrecovery installed. ypu need to install a working xrecovery.

Is it necessary to install BUSYBOX from the market after the installation of the Whitecookie MIUI-1.10.8 ROM? When I install the busybox from market, it kept telling me that there are multiple versions installed, and that there is a problem. it would say " it looks like you have busybox installed, but there are multiple copies still installed. this means that something may have gone wrong in the installation process. Please verify on your end that everything is correctly installed and working" After that, my wifi would stop working.... help! thanks!

Hello Sir,

Thank you for the rooting solution!!

I was also wondering if you can help me with my wifi trouble. After I flash the Whitecookie MIUI-1.10.8 custom ROM, it would connect on the first try. If I reboot the phone, the wifi would not connect, and it will just be stuck on " obtaining IP address" Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

But unfortunately another problem popped up.

Please try again. And after I press force close the message just reappears. Even after I restart the phone, the problem is not fixed. I cant do anything with my phone, what should I do? Thanks!

Half an hour ago I received an update notification. In Zune it just says HTC Update without any change log. I installed it, everything went fine, but can't see any changes so far. My Titan is unlocked, from UK.

Does anyone know what's in this update?
[HTC Titan] 7thSense:
The other HTC phones is getting Internet Sharing and performance updates. So I guess it is only performance updates for the Titan and Radar.

[HTC Titan] Muero:
Clicking "more info" leads to Microsoft's site, which says "If you have questions about what's included in a phone manufacturer update, contact your phone manufacturer. " So I went to HTC's website, which has help pages for every phone they make except the Titan. Interestingly, when the phone is being updated, Windows refers to it as "Eternity" instead of Titan. This is what changed in the About page: (I underlined the parts that changed.)

I dont know wether its my phone but i have flashed both this rom (1.09.401.02 Radio 16.23.02.09_A_16.24.00.23U) and done the official update, and what i consider to be a serious bug is present in this firmware, whenever you have headphones in and make a call , the volume changes to full volume, preceded by a noticable noise just before the change to full volume.

I already downgraded to the previous firmware and will undo the zune update now.

Can someone please confirm if the issue is local to my phone, or as i suspect a firmware issue.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

I can confirm, that at least in my case the original rom which came with the phone does not have the issue. Too dangerous to get my eardrums blasted whilst riding a motorbike.

For those of you with Mac OSX or Linux, you can root it using this method:

Step 1. Go to Settings->More->Device and make sure “Allow Installation of Applications” is checked “ON”.

Step 2. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer via micro-USB cable. And hit “Disconnect” to turn off the USB disk drive mode.

Step 3. Download KindleFireRootMacLinux.zip and unzip to the root directory of your hard disk such as c:\KindleFireRoot.

Download KindleFireRootMacLinux.zip

Step 4. Open up a terminal.

Step 5. Browse to the KindleFireRootMacLinux directory by typing:

cd Downloads/KindleFireRootLinux

Step 6. Type:

mkdir ~/.android

cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android/.

*Note – You might have to add “sudo” for Ubuntu

Step 7. Type:

For Mac:

./adb-mac kill-server

./adb-mac devices

For Linux:

./adb-linux kill-server

./adb-linux devices

If you get a bunch of numbers and letters, that means you are good to go.

Step 8. Type:

For Mac:

sh runmemac.sh

For Linux:

sh runmelinux.sh

Step 9. Your Kindle Fire should do its rooting and reboot.

You can verify you have SuperUser app by going to Settings->More->Applications->All Applications.

Yay!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soundslikemitch:
I do not have anything show up when I do the devices command. I am running a mac.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zedomax:
What do you get?

Did you do this step?

cp adb_usb.ini ~.android/.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zerosignal0:
soundslikemitch

I had this issue as well and zedomax is correct, you have to make sure that this file resides in your own $HOME/.android folder. While cp adb_usb.ini ~.android/. works you may want to try 'cp adb_usb.ini $HOME/.android` as well. I also had the issue where my fire wasn't being shown while executing ./adb devices which required me to reboot and then it seemed to start getting picked up without issue.

Hope this helps and thanks zedomax for the tutorial :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SifJar:
There's a problem with the original instructions: adb needs to be restarted after editing adb_usb.ini. You need to run

./adb-mac kill-server

or

./adb-linux kill-server

to make it work without rebooting your computer.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zedomax:
thanks forgot to put that in the instructions, fixed!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soundslikemitch:
Moving it to my home folder in .android worked!

But apparently this broke the video store.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] siafu:
No-go for me. Tried all above instructions and nothing shows up in devices. The thing that had me thrown off a bit is the instructions don't exactly match.

I want to follow exactly so is step 6 necessary since the zip file already has the android directory with the file already in it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jgworks:
I figured out how to fix the video store. Amazon seems to be looking for the existence of the file /system/bin/su so just rename it if you want to watch videos.

i.e.

mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su2
reboot

I am still able to type "su2" and get root and I am able to play videos.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zerosignal0:
Another solution is installed voodoo OTA rootkeeper (free) from the market place. Once installed you can temporarily remove root, then restart the amazon video service and voila. Once the service is started you can re-enable root for the duration that the service is active (not rebooted) you will have root and amazon video.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bsoplinger:
you have "mkdir ~.android"

The more common syntax, and what worked for me as your syntax didn't, is:

mkdir ~/.android

This is under Mac OS X 10.6.8
[Kindle Fire Android Development] komputerfreek:
None of these instructions have worked for me, I have spent countless hours trying to do this via Windows (the windows tutorial) and on mac. My device never shows up and it does not root. I have tried restarting my fire, unplugging and plugging back in, etc. I am running Lion 10.7.1. Please help, if possible, pm me so we can chat via Google Chat or something.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] masterc1111:
Also had the same problem (with Lion 1.7.2 ): Waiting for device...

I used this commands to get it working: (first you have to follow instructions from zedomax step 1-5)

cd downloads/

cd KindleFireRootMacLinux/

mkdir ~/.android

cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android

./adb-mac kill-server

./adb-mac devices

after device is shows up enter:

sh runmemac.sh

After this the KF will reboot and get rooted!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] siafu:
The OSX instructions did not work for me either. I ended up busting out my Windows Laptop and followed the guide and programs from rootkindlefire.com
[Kindle Fire Android Development] komputerfreek:
Doesnt work, it still does not show up under devices and the command runemac.sh just says it is waiting for the device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mewshi:
I don't know why this may work, but try adding a trailing slash to the cp command; cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android/

Also, this works great under (Sabayon) Linux. Very great little script you have here. Only way it could be easier would be if it did the copying and all that on its own.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] blue0284:
The problem I had was that the terminal kept saying "waiting for device." I originally downloaded the "KindleFireRootMacLinux" folder to my desktop. I substituted "desktop" for "download" in the prompts. I tried to root it at least 10 times with no success. The terminal never recognized my kindle. Then I moved the "KindleFireRootMacLinux" folder to the "Downloads" folder and it worked the first time. I'm assuming that some of the code is looking in the downloads folder. Try to move it there and see if that works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webmastertroi:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] warren2781:
for those who have problems this is the way i got it to work

im running debian testing but it hould work on every linux distro

1. make directory on home folder .android

2. open adb_usb.ini on txt editor and add 0x0006 on second line

3. copy adb_usb.ini to .android folder on home folder

the next commands have to be executed on terminal with root shell so depending on your system its sudo or su. this has to be done on the folder where you have your extracted files from the OP .

4. ./adb-linux kill-server

5. ./adb-linux devices

device should be listed there but output should not be blank if it is it wont work.

6. sh runmelinux.sh

this very last command should take a while and should reboot device.
