Is anyone else who picked up one of the new refurb Kindles from Thursday's sale having trouble getting KFU 0.9.5 to actually root and install GApps?

In the last couple steps, it seems it can't complete something. I get the following error:

<idme> write 5002 to offset 0x1000

2183 KB/s (22364 bytes in 0.010s)

mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory

<idme> write 4000 to offset 0x1000

Then when you run Install Google Apps / Go Launcher EX, it installs Go Launcher fine, calendar fine, but runs into trouble installing sync and a few other things.

Strange.
[Kindle Fire General] curiousmike:
I'm having the exact same issue; KFU 0.9.5 is not giving me SU access.

FFF/TWRP are installed, but I fail with the

[Kindle Fire General] soberarmy:
Same here, but I installed fff and cwm .
[Kindle Fire General] soberarmy:
Is it our kindle's or the way we are rooting????
[Kindle Fire General] DPAnyion:
I don't believe it has to do with anything specific we're doing. I think something changed in 6.3 that is throwing KFU for a loop. I'm not a developer... just a tech nerd... but I think it has something to do with whatever root exploit is in use not being able to assume SU (super user) permissions to copy/change the needed files.
[Kindle Fire General] DPAnyion:
Are you also trying to do this on one of the refurb KFs from Thursday's sale?
[Kindle Fire General] DPAnyion:
Did you try installing CM7 or CM8 after you installed FFF and CWM? I've been tempted to try but after I couldn't get the Google Market/Google Play to work I paused to see if I could figure out why it was failing.

I was able to get Google Calendar installed by unzipping the APK file that it downloaded, copying it files over using USB, and manually installing it.
[Kindle Fire General] curiousmike:
Mine is brand new as of a couple days ago.
[Kindle Fire General] HeroHP:
Same problem, KFU didn't give me SU, also Google Play. Any helps...
[Kindle Fire General] Serinety:
I got the kindle from Thursday. Kfu did not work for me. I had to use jcases root method for 6.3, burrito or something. Make sure to follow it exactly. I spent hours trying to get kfu working and even softbricked for a bit.

I used the tools folder from kfu for all of the commands needed. Took 5 min, then did it again to my friends kindle who also got his on Thursdays sale.

I will be on tomorrow for anyone who needs help.
[Kindle Fire General] soberarmy:
I have not tried to install anything but gapps, Google Calendar did install but i think that sync if not working correctly, and ofcourse market is not working because im not rooted. I have faith that this will be fixed real soon.
[Kindle Fire General] curiousmike:
Do you have a link to this method?

Did this work for anyone? I have a Fire from the Thurs sale and this isn't working. I upgraded to 9.3 w/o thinking. I first tried KFU 0.9.5 and then jcases' method. When I type this:

adb shell mv /system/bin/check_rooted /system/bin/check_rooted.bak

It says the path doesn't exist.

If I run KFU after jcases' method to install GAPPS it says permission denied like here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572846&page=2

For the record: Go launcher installs fine, FFF installs, and so does TWRP.
[Kindle Fire General] Buzz4infinity:
can you walkthru how you just used the tools folder, i open my tools folder and there's .exe. files etc and not sure where to go from there.

run.bat just crashes for me

OK, from that I got to this:

I guess I just flashed my ROM for the first time.

Root explorer now asks me to access as SU, so it seems to be working.
[Kindle Fire General] jocampbe:
I just got a refurb one too and adb can't see it, even though it is listed in device manager as adb composite interface. Kindle Water can see it on my Mac, but that can't root this software version yet. Quite frustrating!
[Kindle Fire General] chris_m128:
have you tried rooting with 0.9.4. I was running 6.3 on a new kindle and it rooted and installed twrp just fine.
[Kindle Fire General] Bizdady:
Ya its not adding SU app but I didnt need it since I went straight to CM7. Root, FireFireFire and TWRP all went without a hitch.

I had to install the drivers the long way for ADB to work. I got these links off Google and they worked with 2 PCs.

Yup.. file is renamed don't fret :)
[Kindle Fire General] brizey:
I have a refurb from Thursday, but mine was 6.2.1. I actually used KFU 9.3 on Friday night just before he released 6.4. I had a bit of wierdness, but I think it was operator error. Got everything working.

I found a dead pixel today...which was probably why mine was returned, but I don't want to go through the hassle of the return now that I am rooted and up and running.
[Kindle Fire General] curiousmike:
Then it's a separate issue, because 0.9.5 was not giving me root access.

[Kindle Fire General] MrPhoenix:
I have no freaking clue how to execute option 1 (I'm a moron when it comes to cmd and such). Your walkthrough helped in option 2, but for some reason, it won't install GoogleFeedback and it says it installs Market, but I can't find it anywhere?

Edit: Asked about how to put stock rom on fire, but figured out how to boot into TWRP. Now what do I do?

Edit again: Kindle Unbricking Utility saved me. Put CM9 on and seems to be working fine.
[Kindle Fire General] ndpete:
Putting the stock rom on is the same as CM9. Just download the .zip. Put it on the the kindle and boot TWRP

When changing roms its important to Wipe. so in TWRP factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache. Then choose Install and choose the zip that you downloaded.

Note: looks like if you choose the secure boot version of the stock rooted rom you'll still get permission denied errors. I've just re-verified that the insecure boot version works with the KFU install gapps /go launcher
[Kindle Fire General] MrPhoenix:
Gotcha. I'll try insecure. I tried secure, got SU on there and even got Market on there, but still got crashing issues.

I like CM9's look, but I do like having the Kindle launcher as an option.

So just making sure, to get stock rom back on, wipe factory reset, dalvik, and cache and then put stock on?
[Kindle Fire General] ndpete:
Yep, downloaded the insecure boot .zip, put it on kindle, reboot into twrp factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe cache and then go back to main menu and install the insecure boot .zip

I like CM9 as well but i like having hardware acceleration of stock.
[Kindle Fire General] MrPhoenix:
YEEEEEESSS!!!

It worked! Bless you!
[Kindle Fire General] viperbmw69:
Lucky you

You Guys are lucky. I got one of the refurbs and when I did option 2 install perm root from KFU 0.9.5. The kindle Died and will not turn on at all now. No Lights Hold 30sec does nothing Charging all day still nothing.... Sucks. Thank Amazon will take it back? If it doesn't turn on.....

Lost root on kindle 6.3.1 & cannot get back

Hey all, I'm Dax. I'm running a stock rom kindle fire 6.3.1, Using GO Launcher. I was rooted until last night. I had been rooted since 6.2, lost it when 6.3 came out and re-rooted and have been fine since until last night. all of a sudden is wasn't rooted any more.

The only things I had recently installed were the nook color tool and a custom GO Explorer keyboard. When I open up File Expert, I have no access to root files, I can't side load Superuser .APK, it just tells me "Not Installed" and when I try to use GameCIH or GameGaurdian it tells me no root.

When i load up KFU 0.9.6, It loads TRWP & FFF just fine, everthing loads fine until the end. I get two errors and it tells me in install but it didn't. Can't seem to figure out why i'm getting this error.

first of all before rooting, make sure u allow installations of apps from unknown sources.. then try again.. u can better put a custom rom if u can access twrp.. download the custom rom which is basically a zip file and flash it in twrp.. if u think that u ll lose amazon prime membership pm me... u need not lose prime membership for intalling custom rom..
[Kindle Fire General] poison apple:
What worked for me

@Dax_Attack: I was having the exact same issue. The problem for me is that KFU's sleep command wasn't long enough so it was executing the final command while the Kindle was still rebooting.

To fix this I simply edited the KFU batch file in text editor and changed the 20 second sleep to 120 seconds. After that it worked like a charm.

Just use find to locate the sleep just before the command that is failing and increase the time. If you get over zealous and extend a few sleeps it shoudn't hurt anything.
[Kindle Fire General] poison apple:
To be more specific, edit the sleep in this block:

::Wait for Android to finish booting, and install Superuser.apk.

tools\adb wait-for-device

tools\sleep 20

echo. Installing Superuser.apk

tools\adb install -r files\Superuser.apk 2> nul

@Poison Apple

Thanks I did what you said, but it still didn't work. this is the message it gave me this time. I don't get why it's telling me no such file or directory. I checked the path myself, it's there. TWRP Installs and works, FireFireFire installs and work, hell even Google Play installs with Go Explorer and works. But it won't install root or superuser. I don't even know how my root got broken.

Here is what I installed that night before my root got broken.

*Black Market App*

*Nook Color Tools App*

*Go EX Keyboard*

*Go EX Keyboard Alien Skin*

After I installed the keyboard, it took away my option to switch between GO EX Keyboard and the Kindle keyboard, now i can only choose the Go EX Keyboard. Everytime I try root my keyboard crashes and tells me "force close" i have to go into the system/app folder and re-install it.

Not sure if any of that can cause this issue. Thanks again to everyone for helping =^^=

This most likely means that it has already been renamed to check_rooted.bak (you can confirm this yourself), so you can safely ignore it.

This one's a little trickier. Can you get the package name through 'adb shell "pm list packages -f | grep Superuser"', then "adb uninstall <packagename>" and finally "adb install Superuser.apk"?

Example (may differ): (adb shell "pm list packages -f | grep Superuser" would return: ) package:/system/app/Superuser.apk=com.noshufou.android.su

adb uninstall com.noshufou.android.su

adb install files/Superuser.apk

Some sdcards just cannot be detected after a reboot so u need to power off then power on again and your sdcard will be detected once again.

Then u should flash the stock rom:

Download these: http://www.4shared.com/folder/YmFqLG2h/KDZ.html

Then:

- Install B2CTools LG

- Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip (ex.: C:\KDZ\)

- Install msxml.msi (located \KDZ)

- Extract WindowsEnabler.zip to the same folder as KDZ (ex.: KDZ\WindowsEnabler)

-Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the usb drivers if u hadn't install them before

-Reboot your O2x in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, turn on the device and hold the vol - key)

-Open the Windows "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem

-Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

- Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe

- After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon util the "ON" text appears over the icon

- Go back to KDZ, locate press on the yellow folder and locate the .kdz file that you want to flash

- In my case, Optimus 2x P990h, the o type must be "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"

- Click on "Launch Software Update" and don't click on anything else

- WAIT util your phone reboots automatically (5-7 min) and unplug the cable

*If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset:

- press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again.

YOU WILL LOOSE THE ROOT!

Internal memory card and trouble using usb mass storage with your computer are known "annoyances" with cyanogenmod.

Also, if people have helped, press the thanks button :)

For vibrating go in settings> volume or keyboard i think...

now on my phone, i only can access to external memory card and my internal memory can't be accessed.

how can i solve "annoyances" with cyanogenmod?

could i just flash other rom from cm9?

Go to settigs> storage (press the menu button)> storage configuration> tick use internal storage, reboot and done, if u want to read sd card untick that and reboot

To get detected by pc reinstall the drivers and go to setting> storage> menu key> first thing> and check the first thing.
