Finally!

Thanks to the OP for this guide, followed exactly and finally got my KFOT version 10.3.1 rooted! The only and biggest problem encountered were the bloody drivers! Uninstalled and installed countless times and from different sources but couldn't get it to work even though I had the Kindle show up perfectly as ADB composite in Windows Device Manager! Had to install the whole SDK thing and install the Kindle Fire driver from there. After that, everything was smooth as silk!

I've got two SuperUser apps, Superuser and SuperSU - log information only shows in SuperSU for me.

Next on the agenda, install google play store - hope its not a tough ride as it was for rooting!

Have to root/customrom the Kindle fire 2 of a friends girlfriends, but having lots of problems.

Just to start easy, my PC won't recognize the kindle O.o

OS: windows8 pro x64 in advanced mode (disabled driver signature)

connected the kindle via original cable (adb activated and even unknown apps activated)

not even a single beep from PC about recognizing it, and on the kindle i have a "connected to a low power charger". switched from usb 2.0 to 3.0 and back, changed cable.. NOTHING HAPPEN

what should i do?

EDIT: with adb disabled it connects correctly and installs NORMAL driver...if i switch to ADB ON it disappears
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] gunner49:
I'm not familiar with Windows 8, but according to your description, you have a problem with drivers which should be installed prior to starting the rooting process
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Jordan011:
I received a message from a user saying that 10.3.1 was rooted with this method.

As for others with driver problems, a lot of users are using the drivers from the SDK, and it seems to be working, I didn't have any issues using Qemu's drivers so if they don't work try that method.

In the SDK click Tools up top>Manage add-on sites then click the 2nd tab "User defined sites"

Add http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml to the list, then go back to the main screen, scroll down to the folder "Extras" there should be a "Kindle fire usb driver" install that then it should automatically recognize the device the next time you hook up your kindle.

NOTE: Uninstall the drivers that you are currently using as they will interfere with these, (uninstall it from the device in device manager, then delete a folder in C:\program files\ called Amazon, then perform a fresh install with the sdk)

i had to spoof my drivers for my kfhd 7 which if anyone wants that information lemme know, I'll be happy to post how to do this.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] DXP2:
Check if you have root with an app called "root checker" from the play store.

You can easily install TWRP with the Goo Manager app. Well at least that's how I installed it on my SG3 but I think it's the same thing I did on KF2.

Easy fix for Qemu not starting. Copy and replace the ADB, ADBWINAPI, and ADBWINUSBAPI from the Binary folder to the Qemu folder. Then CTRL+Shift+ESC go to the processes and kill ADB.exe if needed. Boom, device rooted.

10.4.3

i'm looking to root my KF 2nd Gen but i'm on 10.4.3

should i try this method?

went ahead and used this and I'm Rooted with no issues.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] redking117:
been through every ADB driver mentioned in this thread, Qemu, default SDK edditing all the .ini files, and the SDK kindle fire driver provided in quote

ADB devices

[Blank]

[Nada]

[Zilch]

wiht first set of drivers kindle would come up usb storage "portable devices"

second time around it came up as ADB - but not listed under devices

Now it comes up as unrecognized (yellow exclamation!) then installed storage drivers.... FML

EDIT:

Ok after installing drivers from android SDK i had to manually navigate to C:\Program Files\Android\ - blah blah

go into the amazon drivers folder and manually install

now my kindle is stuck at the restore screen asking for an "encryption password"

that's what i get for buying a used kindle.

EDIT

http://askville.amazon.com/reset-password-kindle-forgot/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=82179081

holy god damn had to reset to factory defaults. luckily I just got this thing

'type in "resetmykindle" as the password, without the quotation marks. This is the only way to get into your Kindle if you have forgotten the password. Doing this will de-register your Kindle and erase all content, but the Kindle can be re-registered and content re-downloaded from the archives. '

Edit: so i started this as 11PM and not it is 2:30AM

After successfully rooting and being very happy with myself content to go to bed with a "job well done"

I could not get ES file explorer to accept my root. Qemu said maybe i would have to reboot. so i rebooted.

YOUR KINDLE IS UPGRADING

10.4 installed

NO MORE ROOT!

YAAAAAAY
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] georgedd:
So it is not possible to root 10.4.3?

I went through the original steps but nothing happened at the end. At least es file explorer cannot see the root. There were quite a lot errors like missing files in the process - some of them should be OK I believe.

Is there any way to rollback to 10.3 version I want to have google store only no custom ROM.

EDIT: It works like a charm on 10.4.3. I did not realized where I should look to check if it is rooted in ES File Explorer.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] djgdroid:
I have the same question that georgedd has....I've been looking everywhere and can't find anything definite on rooting KF2 on ver 10.4.3. I had my KF2 rooted and everything was working fine. Then OTA upgrade to 10.4.3 came and I lost root. Is there a procedure that works on version 10.4.3?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] georgedd:
Tested on 10.4.3 - works

It works like a charm on 10.4.3. I used Windows XP 32bit.

Me stupid - did not realize the rooting was successful. I never used ES File Explorer so I looked for root in its settings menu - it it not there - it is in Fast Access/Tools/Root Explorer menu not in settings. Then I downloaded Root Analyzer - and it showed me I do have root already :).

At beginning has some problems when I started step 2 QemuRoot - the Kindle was not recognized (but it was there during the first step) - I restarted several times both Windows and Kindle, and re-installed the adb drivers, I do not know what fixed it.

I get several errors in the process - files missing, etc. - guess this is OK.

I disabled (hopefully) new updates of the firmware using this: 2086450 [HOW TO] Disable Amazon OTA (Over The Air) System Updates Noob (Simple) Version Alternative Method (Manual Method)

And I installed Google Play Market using this: 2069329 [ROOT][HOW TO] Install Google Play Store Noob (Simple) Version Alternative Method (Manual Installation)

:) :cool:
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] djgdroid:
Georgedd , thanks for letting me know that the root procedure worked for you. I tried it and I'm back to root, thanks! Also, thanks for the link for the Google Play store, worked great. I was running an app that was suppose to keep root when I got the update and lost root. I haven't checked out that link you posted by I will. Thanks again.

I want to root my KF 2 on 10.4.3. Can someone please guide me step by step.

I am totally new to Android rooting and KF 2 is my first Android device.

I tried the method in this post but during the first step (runme.bat), Kindle never prompts for "Restore".

Please guide.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] NeverSeparate:
I rooted on 10.4.3 only using the first step. I never proceeded to step 2,checked for root and had it. I also installed play store. Is there a need to proceed to step 2?

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Loobster:
Yeah, this.

It seems that the procedure in the original post does not always work on stock 10.4.x. I am in the same situation.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] LinearEquation:
You can use this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and choose this option when running the bat "Updated to v31 - Added a improved Root-Method by Ariel Berkman"

This was added in a little later from the OP of that thread. Don't use any other option on that bat or it will not work. Just download v31, run it. Let me know how it works out.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Loobster:
Actually I got the original root to work.

I don't know why, but it seems that with each KF2 that I go to root, I have to uninstall and reinstall the drivers before adb devices will show me that the device is connected.

After the driver reinstall, I got the original root to work with stock 10.4.6.

You are going to need a factory cable to fix it. The app meathod no longer works on current version of kf that is why the thread is locked.

[Nexus 7 General] legofan623:
So my dad picked up a Nexus 7 16GB about a month ago, and he didn't decide to root it or make any modifications to the system. He kept it in a case at all times, so i know its not a hardware problem, unless its the battery. We did open it up to check the battery, and it was all in place. The device will not boot, no matter what we do. When connected to the computer, it will not be recognized unless the power button is held for 10 seconds, and it will try to install an 'APX' driver. I looked into getting the universal naked driver for 'APX' but it installed it as a ASUS Transformer Prime. Im leaning towards sending it in to Google to get it fixed/replaced, but i wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix this. All help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.:o

[General Questions and Answers] AdamControl:
Hey guys! Sorry if I sound stupid because I’m new to all this and particularly not good at this but need help please if you can. I wanted to root my LTE specifically to use ARLiberator with my AppRadio. I “rooted” my phone using the Mac method, which I use the root term loosely because none of my info was wiped but I still was able to run ARLiberator perfectly on my AppRadio as intended so it was fine. But I accidentally updated Android. Busy at work and hit the prompts without really thinking Now obviously ARLiberator won’t work (it just simply will never connect to the head unit) and I tried to reroot using the same Mac method but I just get a bunch of failure messages during the process and it ends up acting the same. I’m sorry if I sound stupid but I would really appreciate a helping hand. I did not make a backup with Nandroid (I wasn't even aware of it) and also when I launch SuperUser it asks to update the binary but then fails to install it. You think a Factory Data Reset would help, also? I also tried the RegawMod recently but cannot get either the x84 or x62 to work even though I know I need x84 for Win7. Thank you in advance!

I have a Nexus 4 and I'm running the stock ROM, but I am rooted. I encrypted my phone and have tried a factory rest in recovery and in the settings on the phone. It simply restarts and it's still encrypted. In recovery I'm using CM and it errors stating it can't load a file. What is going on and how do I make my phone work?

I'm trying to run Nexus Root Tookit v1.6.2 and it also still encrypted.

Is their any way to hard reset this phone? I tried fixing permissions in CM and it still won't let me wipe and do a factory reset :(

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibegary:
No known way to decrypt. If you want to decrypt you'll need to erase the user data partition in recovery. Which will wipe any user information.

If that fails you'll need to flash back to the stock using the methods in the android development.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
There is a encryption option in security section, requires a pin you created to decrypt every time you power on the phone.

I can confirm ibegary's statement. When you encrypt your phone it warns you that the ONLY way to decrypt it is to wipe all data from your SD card.

How can you erase all data?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehtoeh:
Now days a lot of companies have a BYOD (Bring your own device) policy that requires users to install Google Apps Device Policy from the play store. This then enables you to get in to your company emails and what not. You have to complete a set of procedures, encrypting the device is one of them. You also need to have a decrypytion PIN that allows you to use the device. Furthermore, your companies admins can access your device remotely.

I tried it on my backup Nexus S and when I wanted to go back to stock, I had to uninstall Google Apps Device Policy first. Then I did a factory reset. Of course, you need your PIN to begin.

Hey guys.....

I have an issue with a phone that maybe you all can help with.

This is my second phone doing the same thing the last one was doing.

(yes I've searched)

So occasionally while connected to wifi I dont receive any calls, texts, or emails until I pick up and use my phone for something.

Just now when I picked up my phone to check the weather at 6:30pm and I got 4 text messages, 1 VM and 2 emails all ranging back to around the last time I used my phone. (5:45ish)

This is really irritating as I have missed some important calls lately and it really pisses off my wife...lol...she assumes I'm gaming and ignoring her.

I remember reading somewhere that this phone has issues with going to sleep and Smart Sync.

Specs:

ATT

HTC One XL

ViperXL 2.4.1 (it does this on the stock rom as well)

ViperXL kernel

Thanks for any and all help!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DESERT.TECH:
I seem to have had similar issues except it was doing it off WiFi. They way I started noticing it was I set my weather to update every hour and I would find it would be 4 hours ago last udate. I also noticed texts coming out of order and calls going to vmail without ringing. I played around flashing different radios ,roms and even changed sim card multiple times. I came to the obvious conclusion that it was actually att issue. I live in a rural area where I get H+ but no LTE. I suspect that the tower cell fills up then puts active calls and data priority. I had atrix before my hox and it did same thing. Its really annoying. So I find myself rebooting phone and it solves issue at least for couple hours.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yungskeeme:
Im having the same issues. Started a thread about a month ago. Im on my second phone as well. Had AT&T reset something on their end, did an RUU, factory reset, wiped caches and data...nothing. I really believe it's an AT&T issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theinfamousdrew:
I don't think it's an issue with Att.

I just got a the email for this, it is an hour and a half late. I am connected to Wi-Fi and my phone is set to "smart sync".

If this was an ATT issue then why didn't I get my email?

The phone receiving emails while on Wi-Fi has nothing to do with ATT.
