[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madoubletee:
That's what I was thinking about doing. Do you think there's any difference between the Sprint firmware and the Virgin firmware?

Also, what do I do with superuser? Does that need to be removed/uninstalled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
You can get the virgin firmware, SU will be wiped away when you restore device to full stock.

Have a great day! from my LG G3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madoubletee:
I just googled virgin firmware and it looks like there's some out there. I'm not sure if all sources should be trusted though.

Also, I see there its a stock radio. Do I need to Odin that too? Maybe that's where the problem is.

Sorry for all the questions; this is the first time I've used a custom recovery. I don't want to brick my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
The TAR file will come with everything. I would go straight to Samsung and find the firmware from them. There are plenty of links in these threads. Look in the General section.

Have a great day! from my LG G3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madoubletee:
Thanks for the help. I will try doing this over the long holiday weekend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madoubletee:
I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2774333

Is this the right file? I'm not sure if my baseband version is right for this file. Mine is L710VPUCNJ3; I don't see anything referencing NDC or ND8.

I also disabled Knox once I flashed CWM and SuperSU; will that be an issue?

This guy claims to have root and says it is "coming soon"
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jutley:
Great news we may just see cm12
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
Oh man! If that ever happens, it would make these tablets the best deal ever!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
I think Cm12 would require unlocked boot loader. Or a hijack either way very good start. Bought my daughters tab 4s but really really wanted to them this device... It will be a grand device with play store.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
yes that is true. A bootstrap would need to be developed
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:
Looks like it's for 2013 devices as per Gran PC.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
Oh no! I was mistaken wasn't I? This is not for the new HD7 and HD6... ); sorry guys
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jutley:
Oh man me too got my hopes up to high lol will have to wait a bit longer for hd6
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:
Nice to hear that he's open for 2014 stuff.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] HT123:
Depending on the exploit vector it may or may not work on the new fire-hd. If it is completely OS based then there may be hope that both devices are susceptible to the same flaw if they are on the same OS level. I got the impression he was saying since he didn't have a 2014 model, he was not going to claim they work on one.

Anyway, i only have mine until Thursday morning when it gets opened but good luck to the whole community. it is a pretty cool piece of hardware as a decent price.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] ganiman:
This thing needs root bad. Can't beat the price and it has decent hardware.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:

Yeah. I hope someone makes it possible sooner than expected.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] z50king:
My mom is playing with it now. After seeing the Amazon app store, it needs root very badly! She likes it though.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jutley:
I installed showbox on it and download small movie files about 300mb great quality and watch them in my own time love it good battery life too.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Polochamps:
What can you say about the performance of games?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] jutley:
I use the modified ps4 remote play app to stream games from my ps4 I don't really play android games on it.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
Showbox is torrent based remember that. Torrents can equal nasty letters from your ISP and copyright owners. For that matter probably not allowed discussed here either....

Well, I'm willing to try and do this for another device if I do get one! Unfortunately (for you guys, I guess) I have no plans on buying one :(
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
Do you have published how you are rooting the other kindle?

If you want the community to buy you one it wouldn't take much money, perhaps post your PayPal account here and there would be a few donations.

So you are going to root it? I need to root my gfs too
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] anne9660:
I do love the KFSOWI Modding Google + page... right at the top: "We break Kindles and stuff"

Can't go wrong with that. I hope someone is getting Gran PC a new model to break!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
I am guessing he roots it with some sort of adb command... No idea but possibly a vulnerability during update. I think he is thinking it is possible this device has the same opportunity.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] HT123:
it looks like he flashes minisystem.img to system then updates by naming the updates update.zip and placing them in the correct spot so when the kindle reboots it updates. I assume since minisystem includes a suid su in /xbin root happens because it is kept in place when the update happens.

The issue is the minisystem is for the hdx, not the 2014 HD.

you can look at the contents of the minisystem.img with an ext4 unpacker.

disclaimer.. i have never seen LUA code before looking a this so i may be way off base.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mattkilla420:
I would personally love to see some work go in to this device. If we can obtain root i think the possibilities are endless

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] Playzoid:
I'm really excited to hear that there is some work going on to figure out how to root this device! I'm looking forward to loading some CM12 on here some day soon! Thanks guys!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] acouwaila:
Yeeyuh keep us updated. This device would be amazing with root.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
Just to make sure everyone is clear root does not mean cm12... We'll need into the boot loader for that... Root most likely will mean play store though.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] powerpoint45:
or a bootstrap
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] yggdrasil:
it will eventually mean a rom...

It may eventually mean a rom, but for now play store and a decent launcher.

it will happen.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] junglistknot:
Can't wait. I have been messing around with it trying to get root access but have not been able to so far. Fingers crossed.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] limitedxj:
Hi. This probably is known knowledge but I've been playing with a fire 7 hd 4th gen. Android composite interface works with Windows 8.1, binary by restore v 14 will prompt a restore on the new tablet but throws a permission denied are you root after, qemuroot can't find the drivers. Towelroot is useless. Probably common knowledge but if not here's the break down of the programs in my experience. Seemed promising that binary positively interacted at the onset. Well anyways, going back to lurking.

That post was a PSA saying "don't do what this guy did," which was post without reading the docs (a giant sticky in General section) that says KFSOWI modding doesn't support 2014 models and "do not post questions in the community that are answered here" (in the doc). Notice Gran PC's post has been upvoted several times. The community is tired of people not reading one document entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION, which explains what it's all about.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1flhQjVTm_NBfCuu1xNATpx4eSSwpYMhqETftnMHTlrQ/edit?usp=sharing

Is Gran PC working on rooting 2014 6 or 7? idk. Link in the doc indicates he's willing to try. Other than that I only know what we see here--that [MENTION=3774780]tarvoke[/MENTION] said he contacted Gran PC, but Gran replied that someone else had already agreed to send one. I do believe if anyone can do the job it's Gran. Deal is, we're on his schedule and no amount of whining "oh, I need root so bad" is going to make it happen any faster. (Not you whining, fred_be9300, you know :) ^^Them.)

Root

Hi all, can someone explain me why it is much more hard to root this device?
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
Locked boot loader means no recovery to flash su. As for root exploits it's not just this device, it is all new devices. Unless a Dev shows special interest in this device we will be waiting for the next mass exploit such as towel root etc.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] EncryptedCurse:
Installing superuser access doesn't necessarily require a recovery. Either way, the locked bootloader is still circumventable by something like Safestrap.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] mrkhigh:
Safestrap isn't capable of flashing kernels. But it is a second best. Sadly no one has really picked up safestrap since hashcode left.

Possible route to progress? wpa_supplicant buffer overrun

I wonder if the recently uncovered buffer overrun in Android wpa_supplicant when in p2p / wifi direct mode could be leveraged to get root. My hd6 hasn't received an update since it was announced and I turned off wifi to prevent one just in case someone can leverage this new vulnerability to allow owner rooting. I'd think it would involve using an app that enabled p2p along with a rooting apk and that one would have to be careful to make sure a patch didn't come down from Amazon when wifi was turned on to run the root. You can bet that a patch will be coming down to close this very soon.
