[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckconnors:
Hi Guys. Someone gave me a Kindle Fire 1st Gen with CM 'Energy CM9 Kang' build 3.19.2012 (March 19th 2012) Android 4.0.3 I'd really like to use this tablet for the sole purpose of using it to display chord sheets from a guitar tab app (Ultimate Guitar). Unfortunately the play store version on the app is out of date so I can't download the paid app.

Can someone tell me how to either update the play store to a current version or the best path to upgrading the rom? I'm no stranger to flashing roms, but this one was already on here and I'm not sure what steps were taken to get it to the current state.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

**EDIT** I'm pretty sure it's a first gen. How can I know for certain?

Title says it, apologies in advance for my noobiness on the entire topic of rooting. Got lucky and my previous device was supported via kingroot. Just looking for SuperSU permissions so I can enable my hotspot really.

This phone is through straight talk btw. I've tried Kingroot, iRoot, and quite a few others to no avail. I don't currently have internet due to me moving to the butt-crack of nowhere, Tried srsroot but seems like it interferes with USB tether and says it's successfully rooted but nothing happens upon reboot.

Anyone had any success with this? Thanks in advance.

I tried srsroot 5.1 multiple exploit and it said rooted. I open root checker and it said phone wasn't rooted. I also tried dr. Phone and they didn't have a working root method for j7 sky pro and i was desperate enough to try king root. None of these worked. The guy than mention c.f. auto root, thats for a version of the j7 that was released in other countries. Those variants of the j7 have exoynus processors and us version have snap-dragon processors so the root procedure might brick your phone.

I can't open the link but all the videos iv seen on YouTube seems to be j700's and other variants not for s727v.l From my research the devices are a listed under samsung j models but the they all have different hardware, i.e. boards, processors, chipsets,. I did a cross referience with cf-auto root to try and find a divice with the same hardware and builds, there wasnt any other device with the same hardware that would suggest compatibility. Cf-auto root flashes a root file to your device and if it's not compatible you could completely brick your device

I may have a method for rooting s727vl. I can't test until I get home where I will have unrestricted data in case something goes wrong. I'm gonna keep this short and simple assuming everyone have

knowledge of using odin.

Developer option usb debugging oem unlock no frp or passwords

Download odin

Download latest superSu, this isn't the same as superuser in the playstore. It's used for rooting systemless root os. Yes that what marshmallow is.

After downloading supersu place it on your phones sd card

This is what I'm not sure on. Download clockwork mod RECOVERY. Zip , not the one in the playstore. And place on pc

Use odin to flash cwm to s727vl

Please refer to guide on installing cwm

After flashing cwm go to it in recovery mode and use cwm to flash the supersu zip file and reboot phone. It could take a few minutes but it should boot with root access. Or wait for auto reboot.

What I'm not sure on is cwm compatibility with s727vl, I couldn't find a yeah or nay on compatibility. Cwm say it's compatible with any android.

Hopefully this will work. Make sure u have your data backed up and your stock rom in case things go south. If anyone try this please let me know the result. I'm anxious to try it but I travel a lot and I can't afford to have data throttled by downloading everything I need and I can't risk doing this until I'm i get home.

I don't think the bootloader is locked. There is a oem unlock option in dev option. And we won't be flashing any custom roms or downgraded kernals so I'm assuming this should work . Hopefully some can try this and report back.

I am also hoping to gain root access on this device. I am not going to be much help. I have rooted every android device I've ever owned, but only by following other's instructions.

Right now I am just occasionally checking TWRP's supported device list and trying to remain patient. Any help provided is greatly appreciated.

I'm on a pitiful slow connection and I don't have the other firmware downloaded. Honestly, I avoid such things as I don't want to accidentally flash the wrong one to my phone. :P I tried flashing with odin, failed. Something must be wrong with the patched image file header.

7 months old thread and it sounds like there may be some progress as of 4 days ago. Interesting...

Is there anything I can do to contribute? I have 2 of these and one has a cracked digitizer.

So that Wall of text on the 25th is another "hey I think this should work just flash it and see if you have brick or root"? Or is that a confirmed root method?

My last phone was $40 and had a built in hotspot button. $100 phone still not hotspot ready after this much time is hard to wrap my brain around.
[General Questions and Answers] Britch3s:
Have you rooted this using magisk???? Currently the only device I have. Can't afford to brick it without cwm or twrp or a nan period....ive used magisk on several other devices. But they were disposable cheap junk.....you can also edit apn using development settings application the yellow or blue one in playstore. Be careful tho....codes (most) don't work and development options itself is blank via code. But it does have an option for LTE apn edit if you scroll down on the code list....maybe this may help idk.....and netsharenoroot will all0w you to hotspot the device as well...said that once but never hits to say it twice. Sorry for the long post. But needless to say I'm about to give up. And trade this off for another galaxy j7t100 loved that phone :/

Netsharenoroot apk

Find a cracked version so you don't have to pay. Or pay bc if ya don't it only gives you 5 minutes or so then kicks off then ya have to put password, proxy, and port all in again. And download the app to the device you wish to share net with. It'll not allow fb messenger to work without it for some reason. Hopefully you'll find the app. It's in Google play. But as I stated I didn't pay as I mentioned a cracked version. Or if you have a rooted phone, just make the app believe you paid via lucky patcher and Bluetooth or send the file to Google drive and download to the j7 vl....

But without hotspot its really no big deal if i do. Ive tried the netsharenoroot app and foxfi. And it does work except there is no internet connection ? this phone was a good deal for the price but they should put a "great deal except your screwed on hotspot or rooting this device losers" sign on it ?

For everyone wanting hotspot on this phone. Use this not the google play verison if u use googleplay youll understand why if you dont follow my link. Youll notcie it sayd install license vheck failed click install hit recent key once it opens, then swip away the new tab as it takes you to play store, with recent apps open go back to the netshare app and follow instructions. MUST USE PROXY. YOUR WELCOME

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

But if you can't get the hotspot to work with the directions posted then you SHOULD NOT be trying or looking for root via Odin or flashing period. With that being said I do apologize. Netsharenoroot apk is easy to use and you do have to enter 192.168.49.1 for ip in proxy for advance settings when connecting the connection from hotspot and 8282 in proxy but if you simply can't get the netshare app to work please don't try flashing anything to your phone. I am honest to god a little pissed off to see those of you who messaged me DIRECTLY for help an I did give what you asked for to see you say you had no luck for you to not come back and tell me where you fail with the directions. I took my time out to reply the direct message. At least let me know so I can step u thru the processes. Yeah I'm salty, but rooting a phone is way different then making a hotspot work with A APPLICATION. Shew maybe someone else understands and gets it to work and won't care to actually 1/2/3 step my process in their words or sumn.
[General Questions and Answers] joe7dust:
