You're welcome. Pretty odd, I guess you rooted using KFU 0.9.5 after getting the 6.3 stock update, yes? Maybe the root check is screwing your root. I guess you could try rooting with KFU again, but if that doesn't work, an alternative (and "harder") way is detailed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
is there a way to have the utility updated so it can do all of this automatically so we can have to market 0,9,5 version still does not install the market and it appears it is a permission issue which I don't know how to manually do this so if it could be written to do it automatically I am sure MANY would be thankful. Below is a post on how someone else was able to make this work.

"For some reason, the last three steps for installing the google apps didn't work. It was a permission denied thing. So, I ended up copying the files to /sdcard,

did a mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

then using adbshell to cp them to the /system/app folder and then

chmod 644 /system/app/* to get the permissions correct.

was able to then open the market... shortly after that, it upgraded itself to google play. So far, play has been working.. I was able to install Root Explorer from"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SMASHERSONLY:
I'm stuck in fast boot mode any ideas I tried the rootwiki adb commands
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
ok so I found an easy program to mount and change file permissions so I can manually install the apps since it will not install them all with the extra menu but then I try doing it with Root Explorer it will not mount and it will not let me change permission says I have read only access. I installed teh Permanent with superuser so shouldn't I be able to do it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wowser21:
Thanks for the info. I keep getting the following when trying to copy:

cp: not found

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
So I decided to try running install Permanent Root with superuser again to see if that fixed my issue and I saw this error: Can't rename /system/bin/check-rooted I have no idea if this is why it is not rooting in a way we can change system permissions or not since I don't know anything about how to manually do any of this but I am trying to offering things I find that many help others find and correct the issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adamos:
I'm not an expert but after spending many hours searching I realised that superuser apk was not installed on my 6.3 device after rooted with KFU 9.5.

So the solution that worked for me:

1. Download superuser.apk on sdcard and install it.

2. Download market 3.3.11.apk (not an earlier version, doesn't work) on sdcard

3. Move market 3.3.11.apk to /system/app using Root Explorer.

4. Change permitions (same as the other aps on app folder) and install

5. Use MarketOpener.apk if you want to be able to see market with kindle launcher

Thats all. now I have google market again :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
That means it performed that option the first time and already removed the root checker.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
If you used the perm root option it should have been installed. What did you do exactly?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
I first installed #2 Permanent boot with superuser I think installed #3 Latest TWRP Recovery I then installed #5 Latest FireFireFire and then #6 then #1 for google apps and go launcher and for some reason it seems to of not of rooted or installed superuser or something because I cannot mount and I cannot change permissions
[Kindle Fire Android Development] wowser21:
Is anyone having problems with the kindle rebooting. Every since rooting, my device will randomly reboot if i use it for several minutes. It's happens when doing different things so not just running a certain app.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bizdady:
So rooted a second Fire (this one with 6.3) with the KFU and it rooted, installed FireFireFire and TWRP just fine. It did not however install SuperUser with it. No biggie though since I just went straight to a CM7 Rom and everything booted up just fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brandon_L:
This is what I got

Well I tried the burrito root since I had adb working. Went well till first reboot where it gets stuck at kindle fire screen. It stopped there but when I tried to type the fastboot command to install twrp I lost adb . Restarting computer now.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
is it possible that the install for permanent root with superuser is for some reason not installing superuser? I have been trying to get this to work for 3 days and it is getting frustrating. Is there a way to check on the device without knowing how to use adb to check?

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

is there anyone that could maybe screen share and help me get this working? I have Skype and team viewer so could screen share either way. I have 2 Kindle fires to root but I am not going to get try doing the other one until I get the first one to work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] adamos:
I used the 2nd option "install permanent root with superuser" on KFU 9.5.

I did this few times but superuser did not install.

After each time I was getting a message that the root was completed successfully, I was able to "see" the root of my device using root explorer. I even used SuperOneClick to verify that I was rooted.

When trying to install 6/ extras/ 1/ install google apps..., I was getting a "permission denied" message for the market and the last 2 apps.

Had to manually install superuser to overcome the problem.

P.s. TWRP and FFF was alraedy installed on the device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
I just realized that Superuser did not install for me either, as well as Google Play.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] unknown162:
I figured it out once I installed super user manually I was able to get the market to work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] troydog:
Thanks that was the problem ini was missing odd as heck So copy the one from you drivers over to that place and it worked. It reads like this now.

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.

# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.

# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.

I did a adb devices and it was found then used your tool to check boot for fun and it is online at 4000. Now wonder way win 7 lost the file in the first place,
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Yea, my install-drivers.bat creates that file. Atleast it should. Could be an issue with that script, will check it out.

night! im going to try on another machine...Thanks

UPDATE: i download your version 1 and i can reboot normal i think its the script on version 3...:)

Just bought the kindle fire and got stuck on the yellow triangle screen after attempting to install TWRP. I must be missing a step because after I downloaded version 1 and tried every option it still doesn't get me out of that screen. Care to explain more on how you resolved the issue?

UPDATE: nevermind, got it fixed by locating the android_winusb file and installing the driver manually
[Kindle Fire Android Development] orangeagent:
Thank you sir, you are amazing.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vintage144:
Is the main reason for installing this "TWRP" ? I mean I already have root and android market, Im not looking to change it into a tablet , this is my wifes and she does use it more as an e-reader ,but has the added usage of a tablet? There will probably be no custom rom added !

Not too mention if the update reverts me back I may just have to install this anyway!

I damn sure appreciate the outstanding work you've done ,thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sl0ttedpig:
The point of TWRP and FireFireFire is to provide a way of loading custom ROMS onto your device, and being able to recover from a previously saved ROMS in the event of issues etc. If you are already rooted, and don't intend on using CM7/9 (just remaining stock Amazon ROM), then you don't really need to apply these.

However, saying that, as the 6.2.1 currently breaks root, we are still trying to understand whether having TWRP/FFF installed actually stops the auto-update. Obviously if you already have 6.2.1, then the point is moot! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rmagruder:
Due to a firewall issue beyond my control I cannot use the utility to download the twrp stuff. If I can get it elsewhere, is there someplace i can put it so that the utility won't try to re-download it (e.g. just install it from where I placed it?)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
I'm stuck in fastboot and adb can't detect the device. Any pointers? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
The usual. Check your drivers, reinstall if need be. reboot the computer, check drivers again. I had to fuss with the drivers when I installed TWRP to get it back out of fast boot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
Thanks! Got it working. Seems like v2 worked and v3 doesn't detect the device. :D

Do you think a battery pull would set things right? i have done the 20 sec power hold.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
If you hold down the power button will it shut off? I had a similar issue, mine was just stuck in fast boot and my computer would not recognize my device. What I did was uninstalled the drivers that I had previously installed for my kindle when i rooted it. Then I shut the deive off (if you can get your to shut off) then I booted it back up and my computer now at least detected it as a kindle. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked, update drivers and manually steered it to the drivers folder from the Kindle fire Utility package you downloaded from this forum. Im not sure if this will help but I hope maybe it steers you toward a fix.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
Did sideloading Superuser onto the Kindle make it work? If not, how did you do it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brandon_L:

Do not use an outdated, underpowered, under ram-ed computer to attempt this. :eek:

switched to a newer windows 7 pc and this utility worked to fix my stuck at fastboot :)

Thanks man! The Market you linked worked, all the other links I was finding didn't!

You should make this post into a new thread here or something, I spent all day yesterday trying other methods that didn't work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
*sigh*

Those instructions in the above post look good, but I'm a total newb at this and I have no idea how to make any of that work for me. Guess I'll just wait for an easy batch program.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ViciousCircle:
Glad it worked for you!

Not sure I want to start a new thread. Vashypooh did all the work. I just had to use the steps I listed because (for some reason) the market portion of the gapps install in kfu wouldn't work for me. All of the rest is Vashypooh's work though. I just had to figure out what to do to fix the issue I (and it seems a few others) were having.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Did you hit the 'disconnect' button on your kindle before you tried the cp steps? If you can browse your kindle via windows explorer, that means that the internal 'sdcard' is not going to be available to your adb commands since it is mounted for windows.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SCrid2000:
If you don't want to mess with adb, you can use the download from ViciousCircle's post and manually place them into the /system/apps folder and change the partitions with Root Explorer or a similar file system app.

That should work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
How do I access the /system/apps folder? I'm rooted, but I don't have SuperUser, so I'm not sure if Root Explorer would work if I wanted it to. Plus, I bought Root Explorer through the Market, which just adds to the complication. I do have ES File Explorer on my Fire in the meantime.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SCrid2000:
Does ES let you mount /system/app as r/w (read/write)? If it does, you just put the .apks onto your KFire memory (from your PC, or I guess you could download that zip and extract them into the sdcard partition), then use ES File Explorer to move them to the /system/app folder, then change the permissions to look like this:

[x] [x] [ ]

[x] [ ] [ ]

[x] [ ] [ ]

yeah sorry for the awful boxes images lol, can't screenshot my fire cuz the partitions are resizing (I hope :P).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
When I go to root options and select HiAPK, it keeps telling me "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone."

I'm beginning to wonder if I even have root. I do have Go Launcher active and the apps like Google Talk installed. I did everything as instructed in KFU.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SCrid2000:
You probably don't have root, especially since you don't have Superuser.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SMASHERSONLY:
I got the kindle to turn back on after. Being stuck in fast boot but now yet another problem now it's saying offline of the utility app and before I got stuck in fast boot it said online any help its been two days trying to root this thing.

Do you mind sharing how you did that, I believe I'm rooted, but missing superuser and google play. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Unibrow:
Yeah, I can't find a version of superuser that is not old. Everything went smoothly but no superuser and no google play. :eek:

I actually sideloaded the vending.apk from another link and installed it via Astro but it force closes when I open it.

I couldn't get anything to work on my old xp computer. Switched to a newer windows 7 and things started to work. The driver thing is a pain though. Just kept re-installing and

Rebooting the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
Nope, and because I'm a knucklehead when it comes to cmd or adb or any of that ish, I'll just have to live life without a Google Market I guess.

I'm also one of those guys who loses the ability for the computer to recognize my device when I install the drivers that come with KFU, FWIW.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SMASHERSONLY:
Yea tell me about it. I tried multiple times. un installing reinstalling turning off the kindle restarting computer I finally got it to get off that error10 and it said android composite usb interface working properly and still it was stuck so I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I really tried everything that I could find about the problem but nothing works and my computer is only one year old could I beissimg a program or some thing? But if I can't root it soon its going on craigslist because that why I bought it too root it and put cm9. But thanks to all of you who helped giving links and info I appreciate it.

Ok, did Option 2 on this guy's method. His walkthrough was really helpful and I did get SuperUser put on the Kindle. I also installed his version of ES File Explorer and got it to check Root Explorer and Mount File System as rewritable.

However, I still get the oh-so-wonderful "permission denied" when I install the three forbidden Google apps on KFU, and when I install them manually, GoogleFeedback tells me it's not installed, the other one says it is and Vending installs, but Market is nowhere to be found.

To say I'm getting frustrated is an understatement.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
FireFireFire has been updated to 1.3. You just have to relaunch KFU and it will pull the latest MD5 and download it for you!

You may need to delete your recovery folder if it is still there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jacewt:
You may know this but if you're on stock or a stock rom, the market won't show up on the menu. You have to use another launcher (like go launcher) to see it, or you can download a market launcher app that you can find somewhere in here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
I have Go Launcher. Market is not there.

And now, I'm stuck in TWRP and can't get out. I'm going insane here.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bizdady:
Have you tried telling KFU to reboot normal? Shut down down the kindle and reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
Yup, I've tried rebooting system and powering off options in TWRP. I've tried the hard reset.

In KFU, when I tell it to reboot normally, it says "The System Cannot Find The Drive Specified". Before I get there, it shows ADB Status: Online and Boot Status: 5000.

Tell me I didn't just brick this thing.

While I was stuck in recovery hell, I was able to flash the updated CM9 mod and it seems to be working pretty well. I do miss the Kindle launcher, but I'm guessing there's a way to get that added somehow.

First i used the latest KFU 0.9.5 to root and told me i was rooted, but no superuser and google play. What i did was google Superuser 3.0.7 on my kindle and downloaded the apk. and installed it. next google googleservicesframework.apk and also install. Last i downloaded vending 3.5.15 apk. and moved it to system/app with root explorer , mounted as read/write pasted it , now set permissions the same as the rest of the other apps and install. Dont open the app just yet , reboot your kindle , open golauncher or sideload Marketopener.apk install , you should now be able to open google play with out forceclosing. Sorry if its hard to understand my directions im new to this too. I have to thank everyone here on XDA for the time and effort so many people make to help a noob like me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrPhoenix:
A quick note for those that don't want to go the CM9 route and still want the KF launcher:

Use this guy's method and choose the Stock Rom 6.3 option: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24312196&postcount=17

Boot to twrp recovery, do a factory reset (under wipe), wipe dalvik and cache, and then flash the .zip that you moved to the sdcard root. Wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.

Note: If you get caught in a recovery loop like I did, run Kindle Unbrick Utility during the FireFireFire logo. You can get the utility here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

Another note: MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE INSECURE STOCK ROM, NOT THE SECURE ROM. You'll still get permissions shenanigans using the secure route. Insecure, I can confirm, works like a beauty!

Oh, once it's flashed, you can go back into KFU, extras, and select option 1 to install the google aps/go launcher. It will work just fine!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Going to try to work on this a bit tomorrow.

I am thinking of trying the gscript method in the next version, asked if the guy who posted it up is okay with me trying it in KFU.

I think I have a few ideas of what went wrong in a few areas of the new KFU that is causing some people have the stuck in Fastboot again.

Unfortunately it has to do with how my tool would detect what mode it is in and if it had root causing the tool to incorrectly guess sometimes and be unable to fix it.

Gscript method could resolve most of these issues.
