Root Fire 7"- 5th Gen-2015 FireOS 5.1.3, 5.1.4 (New Shipments Summer, Fall 2016)

I bought my Fire 7" shortly after it came out. Not too many weeks went by and folks had posted instructions to get rid of the ads, load Google Play Store, get rid of Amazon's horrible home screen(s) (a.k.a Launcher) and a month or so later how to root it.

A friend of mine just ordered one on my recommendation. And boy have things changed! It would appear that as folks came up with ways to do the things mentioned above, Amazon simply issues OS updates to stop them. Everything I am about to write about is, I'm sure, found somewhere else here on XDA. My intent is to save you the time it took me to figure this out this past afternoon.

FIRST - DON'T LET YOUR NEW FIRE TABLET UPDATE! What I'm going to explain applies to FireOS 5.1.3, 5.1.4 (and 5.1.2.1)

Right now today, early Oct 2016, it appears that there isn't a root tool for FireOS numbered above 5.1.2. But you easily downgrade the ones shipping today (FireOS 5.1.3, 5.1.4 and 5.1.2.1) to FireOS 5.1.2. And then existing tools work.

You'll need to download and extract:

AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool.zip

Firmware-Downgrade-to-Fire-OS-5.1.2-Supertool.zip

Steps:

Run the Firmware-Downgrade-Supertool, you don't need to start adb or anything first, just double-click the "1-Start-Firmware-Downgrade-to-5.1.2.bat"

NOTE1: You'll need to allow unknown sources (In the Security Settings) and allow adb (In Developer Options. You add Developer Options by tapping Serial Number 7 times (In Device Options) see Developer Options

NOTE2: Watch the Fire Screen closely. There will be multiple popup screens/boxes. You'll need to approve adb several times. Just tap "OK"

NOTE3: When I ran it the text in the Windows cmd.exe box said it failed. But wait and a menu will appear on the fire's screen. Use the volume keys to select the 2nd item listed "from ADB" and the on/off/power button to select it. Go back to the Windows cmd.exe box and hit any key. Then the bin file for the downgrade will start transfering

When it completes, run the AmazonFire5thGenSupertool. It has a menu that will let you do everything I listed in my opening paragraph

In the AmazonFire5thGenSupertool menu pay attention to those selections that require root first. In FireOS 5.1.2 it will intall a rooting app. PAY ATTENTION to the NOTE in the cmd.exe screen that says if it fails to root you may need to shut the Fire all the way down and run tha app again. For me it was running it again after a full shutdown that completed the root.

You've just spent a good amount of time downgrading to 5.1.2 so you could get rid of the Amazon crud. IT SHOULD GO WITHOUT SAYING, but I'll say it anyway. In the AmazonFire5thGenSupertool be sure to

shut

off

updates

!

MANY, MANY THANKS to RootJunky for the tools!!!

I used this method, but when you restart the tablet does not appear among the options to update the firmware, it appears only option (I forget the name) and select not let.
[Fire General] mstrakt:
Got myself a Fire tablet 16gb, which came with ver 5.1.3 and auto updated to 5.1.4 (which i didn't want it to), used this guide and followed the steps. Kingroot took maybe 6-7 tries, but it finally worked. Achieved root, got rid of of lockscreen ads, uninstalled FireOS launcher, and installed nova launcher. Now it feels like stock android (also got playstore) while keeping the FireOS features (useful for my 2 yr old son who loves the shows on the Amazon firestick). Win-Win. Thank you OP
[Fire General] DB126:
Don't forget to disable OTA updates. If you used an automated method make sure system\priv-app\DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk got renamed.
[Fire General] mstrakt:
Yup did that too. It hasn't bugged me to update since, so I'm guessing it worked! Thanks.
[Fire General] AkDano:
I had rooted my kindle out of the box and turned off auto updates. However overnight it updated..... I am having a heck of a time getting access to the kindle again even after authorizing USB debugging. I have tried the downgrade supertool, I've tried command window method, the main supertool and everything else I can think of.

When I get to the point to load the firmware via adb sideload <filename> it says it cannot find the device. I have authorized debugging and allowed unknown source app downloading.

Please tell me how you were able to get back out of 5.1.4. Thank you in advance.

Dano
[Fire General] siftekhar:
So ... received a 5.1.3 device (5th gen, with special offers) yesterday. Successfully downgraded to 5.1.2 using the method on this thread. Before even connecting to Wifi - downgraded straight out of the box.

However, the kingroot method from this thread just fails (using 4.9.2 apk version) with the supertool method. Tried several times, even reflashing 5.1.2. gets stuck at Verify Root Status (left it there for several hours).

Decided to manually install kingroot 3.5 to PC (from XDA thread). That fails too. Says Failed to Root. Root request recieved. KFFOWI Android 5.1.1.

So now, I got a 5.1.2 device that cannot be rooted using the methods at my disposal.

Hope something comes up soon.
[Fire General] DB126:
Keep trying; KingRoot can be stubborn as countless others before you have learned. Try a factory reset; don't register device w/Amazon on restart. WiFi must be enabled during first 30-60 sec of KingRoot run; otherwise failure is certain.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Updated to what? KingRoot is now capable of rooting all builds of FireOS 5.1.x. No downgrade needed if on 5.1.4.

Reset to Stock and Check if the Problem persists. If Not login to google playstore and slowly install your apps step by step to check which apps force the battery drain...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
Bro plz suggest some solution which does not require resetting the phone

I really don't want to get hassle of backing up the 20gb data

And restoring it back

The only issue is android system keeping device awake all the tym
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] meangreenie:
Try turning off location for a test, see if drain goes away.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
Seems like stock MIUI roms nearly always have a battery drain problem for some devices.

Bugs in 7.3.6.0 global stable for RN3 <<< Battery drain.

Normally I would suggest updating your rom, but seems like it is still a problem in 8.0.2.0. Which was suppose to resolve it from 8.0.1.0.

[Discussion] battery drain in 8.0.2.0 .

If your rooted try installing Wakelock Detector. Charge your phone fully. Unplug and see what is reported overnight.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
location is already turned off bro
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
bro if i was rooted then i would have checked for wakelocks but aince i am not rooted i cant d o that

i wish installing custom rom on this device was easy but its very difficult for a noob loke me with no knowledge of twrp and adb

i have never been able to gather the courage to even unlock the bootloader of my phone because official method sucks and fails at 50% and unofficial ones are risky

bhai everything is turned off

m talkin abt battery drain when device is idle and no app is active

25% in 8 hours is way too much
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] oatcooky:
No choice man, you have to do a full reset and then slowly reinstall apps to see what drains the battery. I would do a fastboot flash using Miflash and then unlock the bootloader to get rooted.

I'm on the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM and I'm getting 10 hours screen on time. With Greenify, I get <1% drop per hour on standby, with full sync running for a bunch of apps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ilvmyname:
I am also having this same issue on Xiaomi.eu LP rom.

Resetting isn't solving anything and it's not b'coz of any app that I have installed, it is the system itself that is causing this issue

Last night I full charged my phone and went airplane and when I woke up it was on 89%

I have also tried xposed deep sleep battery saver to no vail

Right now I have no idea on how to solve this, I am looking for a ROM where I could use atleast use the jio4g voice, so that can use jio.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tdssmarty16:
thanx for helpin me out with the suggestions guys

i found some.ways to fix the problem without resetting the phone in this guide

http://en.miui.com/thread-339815-1-1.html

although i had already disabked most of th3 things mentioned in this guide but still point no 4 was the only thing that i had to do and bam

android and android system both dropped to 15% and phone went on sleep

just 2 % drain in 8 hours

i suggest anyone with battery drain problem to once refer to this amazing thread
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] koshal:
That's much...have you tried turnig off find me..

location to battery saver.

Ambient display off.

Sync off

Cloud off
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] wintersunn1:
Flash using MIFLASH tool and wipe everything off

From my experience, this is the only way to solve problem

I also had extreme drain and turns out that phone wasn't entering in deep sleep mode and was staying awake all the time

I tried several different roms (Cm13/miui), flashed custom kernels and the problem was still there no matter what i did

As i mentioned above wipe everything off, there is no way around
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] aditya510:
Hello Everyone,

I bought a Moto G4 Plus a few months back but returned it as it was defective. Now I will be ordering another phone tomorrow, but now I am confused between two - Moto G4 Plus and Lenovo Z2 Plus( Zuk Z2), I feel that Z2 Plus is better in all aspects except the camera. Can someone please tell me how is the Camera of Moto G4 plus and if possible please compare it with the Z2 plus.

Also, if possible please suggest which phone should I buy.

Specs -

Z2 Plus - Snapdragon 820, 3500 Mah battery, 13MP camera(No OIS), 3GB RAM
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] aditya510:
Camera is a priority but performance stands higher.

But the Z2 also costs 50$ more so I can't decide.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] anhoxhrs:
As your name suggest you are an indian.And the g4 plus that are sold on amazon.in have many issues i.e all the g4 phone which are manufactured in india are a bit defective.Like overheat and screen burn are the two main problem I have seen .Zuk z1 was good and i think zuk z2 would be great. 4k rs investing more will give you a big jump in the specs

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gabriel31337:
I have just HardSPL-ed my HTC Kaiser, flashed a new radio ROM (1.27.14.09 - original was 1.27.12.11) and my camera is not working anymore.

The camera software runs OK, but only black screen is showing, nothing else, after trying to capture a picture it says:

"Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device".

What I noticed on the tricolor screen (when you press power button and camera button + soft reset with stylus) is:

before HardSPL patching: KAIS160

after HardSPL patching: KAIS130

Eh?!

Any hints how to make my camera working again without reflashing the original ROM would be great.

Thanks,

Gabriel

Downloading now will report back with results :D

Edit.....

So far it very fast and responsive. Battery life is excellent especially considering the fact that I need a new battery as the one I'm using is very old and doesn't like to hold a charge. Will upload screenshots of battery stats after work.

Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!!! :good: :D :cool:

The purpose of this kernel my friend battery & performance ;) I'd love to see some stats & thank you I will :victory:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hatchet13rydin69:
Sorry for not getting back to you with stats and screenshots. Had some family issues that couldn't be left unattended. I'm sorry to say that my s3 was unfortunately stolen from me before I had uploaded my results to my drive account. :( I will say that this kernel made my device perform like new. Which was amazing as the battery was on its last leg. I wonder if this kernel could be built for the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T1? If you need anything to do so let me know. Still kinda a noob but with a lil guidance I can get any source codes you may need for this device. Let me say this was a truly magnificent piece of work for the s3. Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Daemondancer:
Was running the kernel on OctOs-M and it was quite good. I started using SlimRom though and it seems that your kernel doesn't play nice with it. Everything seems ok but my SIM isn't detected. Using the SlimRom kernel the problem doesn't happen. Would love to use this kernel again!

I was running this kernel on the same model and baseband with spirit rom Kit Kat 4.2.2. It was definitely a huge improvement over the stock kernel. Very responsive and great battery life. I would definitely recommend this kernel. Just make sure to make a backup of your old kernel in twrp manager before. Better safe than sorry.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I have to say, it's a very nice kernel in terms of giving out great performance. However, every Rom i flash this kernel in, it seems to break the functionality of my baseband causing an error for my sim card not to detect. It's with the latest build of OCT-M-R3 build 10/25 and Slim Roms build 10/29 that I tried out with.

Any fixes for it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maxrom:
Help

I'm new to this....Only flash ROM's...No Kernel yet.

My last update on my SGH-T999 is....cm-13.0-20161104-NIGHTLY-d2tmo

So for me is it good solution to flash that kernel on my phone?

I see there's a lot of function and updates that I don't have.

Thank You!!

:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lonelyskatter12:
Just wait for the next kernel update, I hear SIM isn't detected on newer ROM updates.

And its easy.

1.) Copy zip to sdcard

2.) Wipe dalvik-cache & cache

3.) Flash kernel zip

4.) Reboot

5.) Enjoy it cx
