[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Petteri Punakuono:
Hi,

I recently bought used Huawei U8800. It had the 2.3.5 rom installed in it when I bought it. Sd card slot was broken. Couple of days ago I decided to install Aurora ICS 4.0.4. I rooted the phone, installed Clock Work Mod 5.5.0.4. I tried to make recovery file to my internal sd card but it frozed multiple times so I could not make recovery file (I waited 1 hour after it first froze but nothing happened). Then I tried to install Aurora rom and everything seemed to work okay. Installation went through without errors. Then I rebooted my phone, but it stays in the huawei boot screen and wont start completely. I tried to install the rom again but I did not get better result. I deleted caches etc on both tries. Is there a way to fix this issue and get to a working rom without using the Sd card?

Sd card slot is completely dead and wont work. I have tried multiple sd cards and they did not work either. They did not work when the phone had 2.3.5 rom and they dont work now. I also disassembled the phone and cleaned the sd card slot with CRC electronic cleaner.

Internal Sd card, CWM and pink screen are working.

Sorry if this message is hard to read. I dont speak english by my nature.

Thanks!

So, I managed to install ADB and I pushed the stock rom to the internal sd. I installed it and it worked fine. Today I desided to try this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1976563. Everything went great but after installing partition.zip and rebooting the phone internal sd card stopped working. It says: "E: Cant mount /emmc/ when I try to install zip. After that I read that it is possible to install zips using 6.0.1.5`s sideload function. I tried that, but when I type "adb sideload filename" to cmd, it says: * failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *.

Any ideas to get this working?

After several hours i have finally been able to root my brand new kindle fire hd which came preloaded with 7.2.2. While setting up it updated to 7.2.3 on its own. Anyways here are the steps i took:

Prereq:

1. Download the ADB Drivers and QemuRoot method files. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893838

2. Download Binary v17 Method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

3. Download and install the latest java. http://www.java.com/en/ This is a very important step in which allowed me to succesfully root my device.

Steps:

I recommend uninstalling all drivers in order to start fresh and do a factory reset on your kindle.

1. Install ADB drivers. Extract Qemu Root and Binaryv17 files.

2. Open cmd run as admin and execute runme.bat from binaryv17.

3. Select Method 1 and your kindle should have a screen pop up requesting a restore.

4. Simply tap on Restore on your kindle and it should reboot after that. Kindle will be slow and sluggish. Thats ok.

5. After Binaryv17 is done run qemuroot.bat from Qemuroot method.

6. Choose option 1 to root.

7. Executable should go through different steps in order to root your kindle.

I saw people posting about not being able to root 7.2.2/7.2.3 devices which have not been rooted before. I can confirm it does work if you follow the above steps. The trick that it for me was the installation of JAVA. I kept getting multiple errors when i did not have it installed on my computer. Hope it works for you all.

I did a factory reset, *** and then without registered my Kindle with my Amazon account, and the device Language >English (USA), I followed the vida69's instructions step by step.

Results of Updating MY KF HD 7" to 7.2.3

Thank you for this information --although my case is a bit different. I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" when I first got it and it had &.7.1.?/3. Put Google play on it, Titanium BU, Screenshot Es, and Root Explorer. Disabled the OTA updates (I did not get affected by either 7.2 or 7.2.3!). However I was interested in trying the 7.2.3. So I downloaded it and did the upgrade.

The update was smooth and provided me with the latest including Swype Keyboard (especially for the Swype Keyboard).

Much to my surprise, however, every single app that I had sideloaded or purchased and loaded from Play after I first rooted was still there! And all of them were functional. Except that all of the "Root-requiring" apps won't work now (Tintanium, Screenshot ES and Root Explorer in the RW mode).

The rest are there, and I can still access the Play store . . . So I will try the root process using your tips, but have no hurry since I have my apps and market too --not bad. Only thing is I will have to get root eventually so as to turn off the future OTA updates!

Really surprised since on my original Kindle Fire, whenever I updated it basically wiped the machine clean. This update was like flashing a rom and not clearing the cache or the dalvik or (especially) not doing a factory reset! I am surprised it worked!

Kindle Fire HD 7" 7.2.3

So i didn't even know my KF updated from 7.2.2 to 7.2.3. I previously rooted 7.2.1. so I already had a pretty good idea of what needed to happen. One thing that I will note is that when I plugged my kfhd in I opened a cmd prompt and typed in "adb devices" when my serial number showed up I knew that I could proceed with the scripts.

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] engwan:
Works for me too. No need for qemu. I have not rooted this before and it auto updated to 7.2.3.

First I got permission errors, but after I restored to factory settings I was able to root it. I used a separate computer to do it though so I'm not really sure if it really is the reset to factory settings that did it.

Also, I had to download Android SDK to get the new adb because adb packaged with the root tools can't detect the device.

Success (!)

Hello all, I am a noob to THIS forum. I have successfully rooted according to the above mentioned guideline, but not without one issue.

For all those doing this for the first time, just remember at the "Restore" screen mentioned on step 4 of vida69's post, it would be best that you use a simple password for the restore point, as just pressing "Restore My Device" does not allow the exploit to continue. :good:

Found this out the hard way. :eek:

Happy rooting!:good:

The adb.exe from Binary v18 does not see my kindle fire ( i installed driver from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)

I decided to uninstall the the Amazon adb driver, and installed google usb driver from android sdk.

The adb.exe from Binary v18 still does not see my kindle fire, but the adb from android sdk see it.

At last i have changed something in RunMe.bat from Binary v18, put them all in one folder.

Run the RunMe.bat first then the rootQemu.bat.

Follow the steps above, as superuser CMD prompt. Install Java and run Runme.bat then menu.

after that I side loaded Fileexpert to give root permission to move Vending apk and google services.

Due to Geographical Restrication I was unable to use Amazon Appstore. That why I have to use this method.

Rooting - Benifit

Good question! My concern is no the lost guarantee since you can always remove root prior to sending it back. The concern is the warning: Rooting any Android Device can be risky and cause your device to be Bricked.

My personal opinion is that Rooting the Kindle is worth the risk. This opens the door to many services, on important one: GOOGLE PLAY. You have everything to gain by Rooting the Kindle and if you are careful, nothing to loose. Oh yah, you do not loose any of the Amazon services either.

ADB Server Out of Date

I have seen this quite a bit over the last 2 weeks. So far we have been able to solve it by opening the Windows Task Manager, End Process on every adb.exe process found. Then temporary removing the SDK Path Statement so when the batch file calls to the adb.exe daemon, it does not start the SDK adb daemon. What is the date and time stamp on the adb.exe daemon within Binary Root?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Backup Utility

The very best is Titanium Backup, which requires root. There are quite a few available, one that is well known and does the job (applications and data backup) is "My Backup'. Since this does not require root, there is no way to backup the system image. If you are looking to backup the system image, here is a good "how to": http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1930656
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mammolastan:
Thank you so much for your reply.

The date and time stamp of the adb.exe is Dec 5, 2012. There is no adb.exe running in my system when I attempt to run the Binary Root.

I do not know how to temporarily remove the SDK path Statement... is there any thread/walk-through on that process?

Once again, thanks a lot for your help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Rename SDK

Open the Windows Task Manager. Review the Processes. "End Process" on any adb.exe running (looks like you are OK here). If you installed the Android SDK, there is probably a PATH Statement pointing to the platform-tools folder. To avoid adb.exe start-up conflicts, temporarily rename the SDK platform-tools folder to platform-tools-temp. This can be found in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk

OK Sooooooooo this was a very weird and very simple fix. Thanks so much for being helpful!

It seems that I had to manually open command prompt, and manually "cd" to the directory where Binary Root RunMe.bat is housed, and then run "RunMe.Bat"

The only problem, it seems, was that I was right-clicking RunMe.bat and choosing "Run As Administrator". Once I did this method I just mentioned above, everything worked! So there ya go!

ADB Communication Issues

One thing about Rooting the Kindle is the process uses simple tools, so we must be missing something in the translation (so to speak).

Per my instructions, you did make sure the Kindle had ADB Enabled? This can be found by pulling down the top bar, selecting More, then Security. Under the Security tab is Enable ADB. Did you enable ADB?

Next we need to make sure the driver is installed correctly. You did install the ADB Driver, correct? Let's see if Windows see the device. Go to your desktop, now Right Hand Mouse Click on My Computer or Computer. Next Select "Device Manager". In the device tree do you see: "Android Composite ADB Interface"?

Next, are you running Windows 7? If yes, make sure you are opening the CMD (DOS Window) "as administrator" (this is VERY important).
