[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Boucher:
Hey there,

Long time lurker first time poster. Sorry I didn't post a hello thread, This forum has really helped me out with my Evo and Evo shift. I have never rooted them as I didn't have need. They served my purpose as is. Now I'm in new territory so I humbly ask you pros for help trying to root my Kindle Fire. The only reason I bought this was to turn it more into a tablet more like my phone.

I have seen and read just about everything I can find on installing the drivers and rooting this thing.

I have search here and found partial answers that end up turning into a different conversation and nothing has worked.

I'm on Win XP sp3 I am very computer savvy since I'm a software tester but I am stumped.

I set driver signing to ignore and I still get the unsigned error when trying to run install_drivers.bat.

You can't change the driver signing in the registry because it will just revert back.

When I plug it in to install it it shows up in the device manager as an Android phone with the Android Composite ADB Interface If I try and update the drivers it says the best driver is already installed.

I uninstall it and reinstall and point it to C:\Documents and Settings\Users\my profile name\KFU\Drivers\Kindle and it installs the same way as an android phone with the ADB interface below it.

Like I said. I have tried everything I have read and run.bat still shows as offline

Is the Android Composite ADB Interface mean the drivers are installed correctly?

I read one post someplace else that said if it said android phone to delete it.

Been at this for a week. Come home from work and spend hours trying over and over and there must be some bonehead thing I didn't do or a setting I didn't set correctly.:eek:

Please help

You can try a utility that I did for myself and others to root.

Basic Fire Utility[Expired]

Also goto %USERPROFILE%\.android and rename the file adb_usb.ini to adb_usb.ini.bk then rerun to driver install.

Also this should have been asked in the Kindle Fire Q&A.

.Sometimes kfu says that the boot status is unknown even though it is just fine. assuming u havnt Try one of the options and see if the fire responds.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Boucher:
Thanks!

Mods please move to the correct forum. It was a little confusing when I saw all the kindle forums.

Do you have a how to for the basic fire utility? Do I need to remove all of the KFU stuff from 9.6 first? Sorry, first root. I installed the driver and now the DM says android phone,Amazon Kindle Fire ADB Interface.

Thanks again
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
Since you have the drivers installed do selection 3 to install FFF 1.4a then select 4 to install TWRP 2.2.0. Selection 5 will root and put basic Google apps.

The Basic Fire Utility copies the root/ gapps flash file to your device sdcard directory then boots you into TWRP. From there you flash the file... Choose Install, scroll under folders until you see Gapps+Apps.zip file and select it then swipe the blue button to the right to flash.

Thats it. Select reboot System and you are now rooted.

Sorry I am not very good at the instruction part thats why I just kept it to myself. But If you have more questions please let me know.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Boucher:
Thanks.

Even if it still says offline when I run the utility from the 9.6 download?

I couldn't find anything on sections 1,2,3 etc to follow in this thread and nothing on the download site besides the download link.

Thanks again
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:

Didn't get a message that I had a PM. I need to check my settings.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Boucher:
I could not get this thing rooted. Tera Tike spent a lot of time walking me through it, but still nothing.

It would only boot into TWRP. He then offered to see if he could fix it for me if I sent it to him.

From all of our message interaction I didn't hesitate to send a new Kindle to a total stranger.

He had put so much time in trying to help me via messaging that I knew he was a good guy and I was right.

He fix it as soon as he got it. Had a corrupt partition. Most likely something stupid I did, and it's on it's way back ready to go.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] garryknight:
Since we've only had our tablets for a short time, I might be a little premature in asking but has anyone used any of these USB keyboards with the N7? If so, if the tablet is placed on the stand in portrait mode, does the cable reach the USB port? I assume they're not full-travel keys but do people find them ok for touch typing? Do any of them suck the battery or are they usable for hours at a time?

Does anyone have any recommendations for better keyboards?

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nxxx:
Not trying to burst your bubble, but i don't think any of those will work with N7. When getting keyboards, I would go for name brand items because you don't want a laggy keyboard. If I were you I would get one of the following:

http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Univer...768&sr=8-12&keywords=bluetooth+keyboard+stand

(This is what i purchased ---->) http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-FOLZKFLE...183895&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=zagg+keys+flex

(There's a review on this keyboard on this forum. You can get this on eBay for $30) http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Tabl...5&sr=1-2&keywords=logitech+bluetooth+keyboard

I hope i helped. The problem with cheap keyboard cases is that a lot of times they don't work. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

EDIT:

YAY 100th POST!!!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ldrn:
I think the cases he linked actually would work -- I have one that looks identical, and is indeed functional, though the Nexus tends to slide out the sides of the case.

However, I think you are right; you DO get what you pay for. ;) The keys are bit mushy and so on, the case is huge, etc. Hey, for the price, it might be worth it, though I wouldn't recommend it. I don't have any regrets either, though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Jelster:
Have a few questions on keyboards I hope someone can help with.

On the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android. Logitech's website is quite clear that the iPad version is incompatible with the Android version. Has anyone tried? The Android one isn't too easy to get in the UK (well not reasonably priced) but the iPad one is.

Any first hand experience of the Logitech versus the Motorola Xoom keyboard? I like the Logitech case/stand thingy but past that both keyboards are the same size so which is better?

And back to the Logitech, any recommended UK suppliers?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Chiraag_G:
I'm in the same boat - was looking to get an Asus Pad Infinity upon release, but tempted by the Nexus 7 + Logitech combo instead.

Now I'd just need to secure the keyboard in the UK and I'm good to go...!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] CozaMcCoza:
+1

I ideally want a keyboard/case combo but everything seems to have too small a keyboard for my liking (I put it down to the size of the Nexus 7). I have seen the Logitech stuff mentioned a few times and I am interested in it although I haven't found anything online. I've been using Logitech computer accessories for years (mouse/keyboard/speakers etc) and I'm always impressed with the build quality and performance. I have an unfortunate habit of not buying cheaper accessories as now I can afford better products and I have experienced the "buy cheap, buy twice" too many times to warrant shelling out £15-£20 on a case that doesn't fit properly or has sub standard build quality. After all, I'm going to be putting a £200 tablet in it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] corvato:
I would guess none of the keyboards the OP linked would cause any lag at all, since they are all attached to the tablet via USB/OTB

the ones that you link are bluetooth keyboards, which vary in performance greatly.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] garryknight:
(The OP here...)

I'd go with the Logitech if there wasn't any lag. I expect a powered BT keyboard would use less of the N7's battery than a USB one. And though the BT keyboard's battery would only last a few hours, I'm sure that would suffice for my use case.

I'd be surprised if Logitech don't bring this keyboard to the UK. They'd miss a lot of sales, IMO.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Souai:
actually, they all work. ive got one of them, and it works fine.

pretty much any usb keyboard will work. my thermaltake meka g unit with its cherry black mechanical switches works fine, as does my ducky shine with cherry red mechanical switches and full led backlit powered from the nexus 7 via usb. no notable lag, they all work as expected.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] earlyberd:
You don't have to buy a keyboard case to get a nice USB keyboard for the tablet. Just about any USB keyboard will work fine as long as you have a USB OTG cable.

That said I also have the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, and it's one of the best slim keyboards, tablet or otherwise, that I have used. I haven't seen any lag so far, though if you sit really far away from the tablet I suppose you could introduce some signal issues. Usually if your keyboard is lagging, it's either a software issue or the batteries are going dead.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] joamiq:
The Logitech keyboard seems pretty nice, but isn't it a bit large for pairing with a 7" tab?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] earlyberd:
You wouldn't want a 7" keyboard to go with it, trust me. It does look a little awkward at first to have the keyboard wider than the tablet in landscape, but no more awkward than the promotional photos of the iPad and its portrait keyboard dock.

I used to have an Asus TF101, and even as a 10" tab the keyboard dock was really cramped, and the keys were about 10% smaller than normal so that they would fit. With the Logitech keyboard you get full size keys, so it feels more natural to type on.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] joamiq:
Yeah, a 7" keyboard would probably be too small to be useful. The Zagg keyboard though looks like it might be a nice compromise. I'm leaning towards that one, as it seems small enough to stick into a large pocket and to fit on, say, an airplane tray table if needed, but big enough that you could type on it for a little while before it got uncomfortable. How portable would you say the Logitech one is?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] earlyberd:
I'd say it's portable enough for most people. It's about the same dimensions as the Zagg keyboard. If you have a full size keyboard somewhere nearby, you can do a good comparison by just measuring the width from the left edge of the left Shift key to the right edge of the right Shift key. That's how wide the Logitech keyboard is, and it's about the same height from the bottom of the space bar to the top of the Function keys on standard keyboards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I think everything should be done through experience, some people will say that GB gave them better battery than ICS or this kernel gave them xxx amount more battery life but I think its each to their own. Not everyone uses the same apps, and day by day usage so UCLF5 could be better but when playing with radio/modems I think it differs based on where you are, if you use 3G/4G/LTE etc... and newer isnt always better, sometimes the additional fixes give additional issues so it will be dependent on the user to test it themselves. I mean why go to theses forums if you're afraid to modify your phone right? might as well stay stock or go with an iPhone eh? lol so overall the only way to actually figure out if one is better (for you) is by testing it. My experiences could be different than someone elses. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] christianxin:
so have you try to test ? i have begun my test now , but have not found any different yet . hope more people come in and talk about their experience . thanks .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
UCLF5? I've tested it since the day it came out, then when UCLF6 came out I went to that and I didn't notice much of a change. I am using CM9 and AOKP and battery life has been what I've expected them to be. It does drain much faster in LTE areas but thats just based off of UCLF6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Post your impressions as soon as you find some.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I've found that UCLF5 has cured a lot of the wakelocks that were plaguing me on UCLF6. JuiceDefender, which I had turned off completely and was loathe to turn back on, cleaned up all but a couple that were still giving me headaches.

Thing is, the apps you use are probably different from the apps I use, and your usage is different from mine. As long as you're not flashing kernels that are incompatible with your ROM, there's no harm in experimentation, because UCLF5, which seems to be better for me, might absolutely wail on your phone's battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
UCLF5 radio delivered better call quality than UCLF6 for me to say the least
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] christianxin:
I tried 192 with system tuner and it always wakes up 2nd core and drains battery faster on uclf6. so ill try uclf5 and see if its just kernel

Yep that is what it was we have solved the great UCLF5 vs UCLF6 debate i flashed uclf5 and on system turner it was set to performance switched to ondemand set to 192 and 2nd core is still offline so theres the difference in battery life people will probably end up not reading this since its so late already but if you want better battery life UCLF5 with systemtuner changes will end up being better now i can die a happy man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
192/1512 InstagatorX 5.4.4 on AOKP m6. Don't have any problems with UCLF6 since day one but there was an issue previously mentioned that system tuner only sets specific governor to one CPU when changed. Could be different later on. I use system tuner a lot but there was one instance where one CPU stayed offline even underload so that could be specifically app based and not kernel. But atm its working fine for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] christianxin:
anyone found that the uclf5 moded by seanz is default performance govnor ? i try to reflash and still default at that. the uclf6 i got ondemand as default
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Yes. You'll need to use System Tuner, SetCPU or some similar app to change it to ondemand or conservative.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freshjr:
I tried both.

I did get better battery life on uclf5 ( rogers based sky ics) then on uclf6 ( att based sky ics).

But on uclf5, Skype incoming speaker phone was quiet and users said they could hear their echo. Uclf6 does not have this issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] christianxin:
great , there are so many people said uclf5 kernel is no big differece than uclf6 . i believe they are wrong now . i got really better life in uclf5 . please some master who understand kernel take a look the two kernel . make a great mix kernel .

Have you somehow got dv on your external SD instead of internal SD ?

No its internal, the Touchpad only has internal space. It's the fact that Desktop Visualizer doesn't save the setup, AT ALL.... unless perhaps I am missing a save option.
