[Fire General] glitch3yf0x:
Surprised there wasn't a central place we could share information and progress toward root yet.

I test FireOS 5.1.2 for common vulnerabilities and one thing came back positive:

CVE-2015-6602 (StageFright vulnerability)

https://blog.zimperium.com/the-late...xploit-is-now-available-for-testing-purposes/

A note to all developers, when a root method is found, if you make a root program or script, make sure it nukes OTA updates completely. Amazon, without a doubt, will pull a d*ck move like this again.
[Fire General] DB126:
Historically only one file needs to be renamed to effectively disable OTA without hampering other functionality. Also makes the block easily reversible. PM me for details. Not a secret but there are several similarly named files. Those who tinkered with the wrong file(s) on other device types earned a brick. Needs proper testing on this device with FireOS 5.1.1 (preferably w/5.0.1 bootloader) before being released in the wild. Obviously hiding/disabling components is not reliable.

Is renaming the OTA apks failing to work? I know pm hide is not a reliable or preferred method but I was hopping that renaming the apks worked.
[Fire General] glitch3yf0x:
It .apk version failed for me...

Is it the Windows version?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
yes windows Version 3.2.0 Build 1128
[Fire General] glitch3yf0x:
Why are we renaming or hiding? I'm confused. AutoRootScript just delete the components to OTA and OTACerts.zip. Is it frowned upon to completely delete the dependencies?

Not sure what SuperTool does.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
SuperTool just uses adb hide command

if you delete it is harder to update if want to

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

adb hide has proven to be less than adequate to stop updates
[Fire General] blueberry.sky:
Sorry, I'm a little behind on the best method for blocking OTA. Since both of my Fires are 5.0.1 and on SlimLP. But I'd like to block OTA on a friend's Fire, once it's possible on 5.1.2.
[Fire General] ianthomas:
You guys are awesome, thanks for all the hard work!
[Fire General] sd_shadow:

This one file rename has not failed me through many versions on many gens of ROOTED Amazon tablets (including Fire on 5.1.1):

Rename /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_​

Has this not worked for some people?

I also pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier (although I'm not so sure this is bullet-proof anymore).

The only (poor) option for unrooted is pm hide, which doesn't work on OS 5.1.1. Someone suggested using pm clear with this, but it didn't work for me.
[Fire General] DB126:
This is the GOLD standard. What you rename it to is irrelevant; just ditch the 'apk' suffix.
[Fire General] m00head:
As well as original Stagefright vulnerability CVE-2015-6602 mentioned in the OP, FireOS 5.1.2 may also be vulnerable to the relatively new CVE-2015-1805

Google confirmed that CVE-2015-1805 was already being exploited by a "publicly available rooting application":

Apparently I've missed something somewhere, what does the pm mean in 'pm disable'?

'pm disable' is an adb shell command. 'pm' stands for 'package manager':

[Fire General] FondueTime:
I got a couple questions. Is it still possible to push Google Play and whatnot over to a Kindle Fire 5th with 5.1.2? I read somewhere that was achievable without root. And second, what are the chances of buying a new Kindle Fire 5th now and having it come with an older update like 5.1.1?
[Fire General] sschick77:
I was able to install Google Play on 5.1.2 earlier this week. Used this thread, but I'm on OS X, so opened the .bat file and ran the adb commands manually. Only thing that didn't work for me was removing the ads on the lock screen.

I cannot get kingroot to work

I downgraded from 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 from this site and now i am trying to root using king root app and windows program. It fails on both.

Is there any other way to get root WITHOUT kingroot?

Kingroot is just unreliable for me. It was a pain rooting my nexus 7 using it and htc one max phone. The program needs work and alot of it. I had to use other root means to get root on those devices.
[Fire General] DB126:
Try Kingoroot (note the 'o').
[Fire General] wtd03:
Ok I got it to work. I had to reflash to the 5.1.2 stock recovery again. I guess something went wrong in the intitial flash.
[Fire General] bmurphr1:
Do NOT use Kingoroot to root the tablet, because while you will have root access it will not work with FlashFire. I had to learn this hard way and even SuperSU-Me doesn't work to remove Kingoroot and swap it out with SuperSU so you are completely stuck with Kingoroot as your root method until you reflash your tablet with the same 5.1.2 firmware over again and use the latest Kingroot instead. I had this problem initially, and while it might be okay for people who have no plans of using Flashfire and moving to a different firmware altogether it's better to use Kingroot directly from the device itself to root it.
[Fire General] bvbull200:
I am having the same problem. If you find success elsewhere, please post back, as I'd love to know the solution.

Just wanted to confirm you can successfully downgrade to 5.1.2 from 5.1.2.1 without losing anything and restoring the ability to root. Just download the .bin file for 5.1.2 and sideload over 5.1.2.1. Rember to disable OTA after your rooted. Cheers!
[Fire General] zerbey:
That's been my experience also, whenever I reimage back to stock the rooting fails if I register it. When I reimage to stock I also take the extra step of a factory reset immediately after and rooting usually works on the first or second attempt.
[Fire General] Adam Bomb:
I factory reset, unregistered, installed Kingroot 4.92 and realized Kingroot recognized system as KFFOWI 5.1.1 when my fire states system 5.1.2 I still can't get root

- suggest sideloading 5.1.2 and not registering device on initial boot

- factory reset and/or unregistering device is not equivalent to above actions
[Xposed General] Cyxo:
Hello,

I'm currently learning how to create XPosed modules, because it is not as complicated as it looks.

I started following this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709324

I test my modules on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i under Gingerbread 2.3.6.

The second example (Tutorial 5) works perfectly, I can't test the third one as there is no navigation bar on my phone.

But the Smiley Clock (Tutorial 4) doesn't work at all. I took the exact same code, and I checked here that the package for the Clock was the same. So are there specific rules when developping for GB ?

PS: I wanted to post this in the Development forum, but I had not enough posts. So if you are an admin and want to move it, go on.
[Xposed General] Cyxo:
Ok, I found the solution while looking again in the GrepCode. It appears that the Clock class is in a policy directory, but its package is only com.android.systemui.statusbar.

I feel like if I was able to root it I could do more with it; like access USB drive remotely and delete/move files via wireless, remove pre-installed apps, so on and forth.

But I don't have any idea what to do to root it. Which rooting method will work and I can't find help regarding this television. Would someone mind taking a look at this hardware info and direct to me a direction?

I foolishly uninstalled apps without a backup. Broke Google Apps and Play Services some how.

Then for some reason I thought installing BusyBox was a good idea. -_-

Tried factory reset but that just erases the apps and settings. Wifi still not working.

So kinda stuck with getting it online via LAN.

This should be an easy question to answer for those of you that have had this device for any length of time. I am a new nexus user, I just received it yesterday, in fact. Here is my current setup, Android N beta program ota (latest) with unlocked bootloader, twrp, and systemless root. My question is, can I flash any rom of my choosing, marshmallow based or otherwise or do I need to be on stock marshmallow to start flashing the current roms? I ask this because I'm not sure if I'm on the correct bootloader, etc.....

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The latest Marshmallow build uses the same bootloader and radio as the Android N Developer Preview, so nothing to worry about there. You would need to flash the correct vendor image for the build that the ROM (you want to flash) is based on. This is standard procedure when flashing a ROM on this device anyway though.
[General Topics] sergiopi:
I think this is a common bug in ALL WM6 "keyboarded" devices: trying to write a note during a call you have NUMBERS instead of letters when you push the buttons used also for numbers.

No way to use the keyboard to take a note during a call, only stylus works.

I've seen this bug in ATHENA wm6 ITA/ENG HTC official ROM and HERMES ITA/ENG . Keyboard becomes dialpad and... numbers only!

and the worst part of this bug is that also WORD and ANY other writing application can't use the keyboard!!

Other devices? Solutions? other topic where this was discussed... i tried a search...
