KINGROOT Thread
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rb2tfm:
Edit!:..

Indeed it does! Thank You! Take~Care!

For one I have yet to find any root on XDA or elsewhere that is working on the KF2 System Version 10.5.1 Be sure that you have Enable ADB in Settings > Security set to on. Also be sure you have Allow installation of Applications / From unknown Sources in Settings > Device set to on.

After that please enter the folder Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36\stuff and open a command prompt - I use elevated cmd prompt in my context menu so all I need to do is right mouse click on the folder where I wish cmd prompt to open and select > Open command window here as Administrator.. If you wish you can download the .reg file to give you this option with instructions if needed here...

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/47415-open-command-window-here-administrator.html

Once cmd prompt is open in that folder please type....

adb devices

You should see a message something like

List of devices attached

D026A0A0328601E8 device

If not I would UNinstall any drivers you have installed > Reboot > INstall the drivers linked below > reboot and try the above steps again...

http://www.mediafire.com/download/cizq7o8mwwqh9ji/Kindle_Fire2_ADB_Drivers.zip

If still no listed devices after opening cmd prompt > adb devices then I would check your factory cable maybe try another.

My apologies if this is to be no help. Take~Care!

update:

ok.. well things are looking up! lol

* I am now getting a prompt when I connect the KF to the PC.. (so I can open up folders/directories..etc)

* I also now get a number back in the device list (adb device command suggested above) as well.

I tried the ROOT and QEMU steps above again.. and the device is now being somewhat responsive (as in rebooting when the screen says it will..etc)

most lines that say::

UNABLE TO CHMOD....

FAILED TO COPY FILE...

QEMU always ends with 'ROOTING FAILED!' message..

but at least its a start in the right direction!

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] -

If RootKing approach is still recommended.. I have a some questions from quickly reading the link/overview.

* this can -not- be installed after install? (am I reading that correctly?)

* do I use the desktop or .apk approach?

* If .apk...this is done by transferring the file to my KF.. where does it get transferred to? (and how to 'run it')

thanks.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rb2tfm:
Cool on the looking up =) My apologies for butting in as obviously I'm not sd_shadow....

As I stated in my original post before the edit I have found nothing but kingroot that will work.

So honestly, before you root, unless you have a file manager / explorer already installed on your kindle, I would go to the amazon store on your kindle and download / install ES File Explorer. The one I was working on did not have one installed and it gave me issues due to not being able to locate and install the .apk's unless they were from the amazon store where it could auto-install after downloaded.

http://www.amazon.com/ES-Mobile-File-Explorer/dp/B008K6HN8I/ref=sr_1_1?s=mobile-apps&ie=UTF8&qid=1458374068&sr=1-1&keywords=es+file+explorer

No settings in ES File Explorer need to be messed with until after root and then I would change the settings to use the recycle bin, show hidden files, root explorer ( root explorer, when enabled will try to get root permission... Just allow it access when prompted ) and a few others, but the rest are simple and I am sure you can get it to your liking.

After ES File Explorer is installed then I would go to the bottom of the first post here...

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461

and download the attached KingRoot4.1-release-20150703-for-xda.apk if you downloaded with the kindle then just use ES file explorer to locate the KingRoot4.1-release-20150703-for-xda.apk , select it and it will install. Once installed, run the kingroot app.. it 'may' say there is not root for the device but run it anyway because it will root it.

Remember... No one twisted your arm on rooting your device.... You chose to do so and No damage is done to the device by rooting it.

After root then back to what I said earlier...

From there you should probably go through this thread awhile if you haven't

I don't always go back and look for edited posts

so if you add information/questions

please add a new post, even if it just says see edit

root king should work, and should be safe

I'm not sure what is meant by "cannot be installed after install" means?

yes, use desktop or apk

if using apk, allow unknown sources on Fire, download apk with Web browser on Fire, after downloading is complete click on download complete notification bar, there will be a install prompt

Hello

I stupidly bricked my kf2, I thought I could do it without a fastboot cable.

the guide I was following was https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_otter2

Got to step 6 no problems, kindle rebooted I missed what happened but it said something about having to wipe/format system then rebooted. now it just shows kindle logo for 5 seconds and then reboots and then again :(

I have ordered a cable after destroying 6 trying to make a fastboot one but going to be waiting weeks from china.

Anyways not the first device I have bricked and likely not the last, my question is what procedure should I follow when I do get it as I dont want to do more damage.

Thank you in advance

[MENTION=5787072]rb2tfm[/MENTION] - thanks!

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION] - thanks as well!

so to re-cap:

I have a fresh system restored KF Gen 2

I downloaded, and installed ES File Explorer.

I downloaded, and installed KingRoot (.apk file)..

When download was complete I ran KingRoot file....

Ran through some screens, had button saying TRY ROOT AGAIN.. I clicked it.. and waited until numbers were done counting..etc..

I walked away and came back to me being at the 'home' page... of the KF..

(page says to go to Google play and download root checker.. but I cant because when I go there is says browser (SILK) not supported)

If I load KingRoot again.. it shows home page with a count -down- from 100% and always seems to stop @ 56%? (Security Index/Checking running state...)

ES File Explorer settings have been changed to allow Root Exploring, Recycle Bin and Show Hidden Files as well..

At this point I'm not really clear what my next step is?

Go to this thread and try to install google play?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2228539

My end goal here is to install the latest version of Android that I can on this device.. (or at least the latest that runs the best!) :)

Which 'ROM' is suggested for this step (once I get there?)

I got the message Root successful, share with friends?

and the Security Index now shows 100% (with text of running state.... under it still)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feronium:
Hello everyone,

Today I (tried to) flash a new custom ROM on my falcon.

This wasn't the first time I flashed a custom ROM, but this time it went wrong.

To start with, I accidently took a Android 4.4.2 custom ROM (link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756571 v.0.3), but using a Android 5.x bootloader.

It flashed correctly and also booted just fine, until I got a message stating that I should enter a password to decrypt storage. My previous custom ROM was Paranoid Android 5.1 and I indeed encrypted my storage (something that I will never do again), but if I insert the password used in Paranoid Android it says 'try again'.

I searched xda-developers and some said to delete cache and user data, so that is what I did (using Cyanogen Recovery).

But deleting user data and clearing the cache didn't work. I now no longer have USB-debugging enabled and my laptop is not recognizing my phone.

I also tried ADB, but it isn't recognizing it etc.

After like 4 hours of trying and looking at forums, I am getting hopeless.

Anyone encountered this problem too (and solved it perhaps)?

I would be really greatful to get my phone working again, I have downloaded the previous ROM I had on my laptop, so I can flash it on phone once I have a solution.

For now, texting on a stone-age Samsung phone without WiFi or touch :p So I need help ASAP

Thanks!
