I bought a Kindle Fire off Craigslist and got home and realized I had been had and was sold a demonstration model. I'm hoping by rooting the Kindle I can possibly reverse this. I followed all the instructions in death2all110's thread but the first step I can not perform because when I try to go into settings I get a message saying "demonstration device this feature is not available" This is the step that allows you to sideload. Is there another way that I can sideload? Even if I am able to sideload, do you think this will fix my problem? Please help.
Anybody able to help me out with this?
Should I be posting this somewhere else?
Perhaps you should try posting it on death2all110's thread.

I can't post there until I've had 10 post.
Some threads require you to have a certain minimum number of posts on xda before you can post. It is to keep the content of such threats free from spam.
As far as I know, side loading is the only way..... I wish you luck in your search though!
Yeah I think sideloading is the only way but is there another way to sideload?
Hmm, probably can force install it threw command prompt or try allowing unknown sources threw it.

Thanks. I'll try that.
Nothings working. Help! Help!
Techno,
The demo model will not let me go into settings and allow unknown apps to be installed. When I tap on that it says "demo device, demonstration only" Any other way?
I found something for you! I think it will work!

Just need to figure out how to get it on you fire, since it does not have market, I am working on that part.
Yeah if I can get that app on my Fire it may work.
Any other options for sideloading?
any success in removing the demo I am looking for detailed instructions and cant find it anywhere !!!!!!

I also have a Kindle Fire 8.9" Demo unit I just purchased but, have not received yet.
I am guessing that the unit will not allow ADB debugging to be turned on and is not turned on by default.
As a result, I am confused how any of the posts describing how to load TWRP and other reloads will work.
Thus, if ADB debug is not on and cannot be turned on, how is the Demo unit not a brick with a working display?
Does anyone have a description of how to load any working firmware on the DEMO units?
I am presuming that the fastboot -i 0x1949 routine will not work if ADB debug is not enabled?
If there is no hope for this Demo unit, I will list it on Ebay or similar.

Ok I am new to this all. so I am going to go ahead and say that do not get mad if I do not understand something.
anyhow, I am wanting to watch hulu.com on my asus tf101. the builder number is 8.6.5.13.the android version is 3.2.1
I have heard people say to root it, but I am unsure how to do it. I tried a couple of sites, but they seemed old and I would find myself half way through with a link not working.
so all I have is what came on it. I just purchased it today. if you know what will make it work best to watch hulu.com thank you so much. I'll be watching this thread so please ask away if you need any more information.
also I do not paying for anything as long as it works. hence I purchased hulu plus. BUT it did not carry all the shows like it does online.
thank you,

on your TF .
Do the allow unknown apps permission first.
Just click on apk and it will load
Once you are rooted Do the following
go to market get superuser load
go to market get OTA rootkeeper then load
If you are strugglng with this I recommend you do not go any further (ie roms kernels)
I'am almost sure razorclaw will not work because it is based on 8.6.5.19.
It checks the version and also needs (fixed) asus-backup which was delivered with 8.6.5.19.
You can try it, but it will fail.
easy to upgrade from 13 to 19. harder to get back. But based on difficulty with simple Nachoroot poster asking questions should stick with stock.
only luck I've had so far is with www.playon.tv . I'm on their 2 week free trial right now but considering the upgrade.
I recently purchased a mid tablet off of amazon that shipped to me from china. It came with the goolge play store but it looks like it has been limited. when I open the play store it does not appear with any of the books movies or music that it usually has on other devices. I'm running 4.0.3 but some apps like chrome show up as "not compatible with this device", and there are many more like that. Some wont even show up in the search. I thought it might be a different version of the play store so I tried installing a different apk that I found, and that did nothing. I also tried going to the browser to use the store but the device is blacked out. Then I figured I would try to root the tablet, however I can't seem to find any drivers for it. I have read that changing the device name in build.prop folder can fix this but with being able to get root access I can't even try this.
Can someone help me find the drivers for this? It is a parkly rk2906.
Or maybe a different way to to get root.
Am I on the right track trying to change the device name or is there some thing else I should try?
I tried posting a link to amazon here but I'm new to the forum so they won't let me. If u would like it let me know and ill pm it to u.

been looking for a good baseball app - but I guess I cannot use it now. found this forum though - might have better luck there:
http://global.com2us.com/forum/showthread.php?p=424792
Why would it not be legal? Note, this is the not the same question as whether or not it's the right thing to do. They can stop anyone they want from playing, it's their right. Apps typically block root when they used some type of shared scoring or leaderboard system that is susceptible to client-side hacking. It's a cheap workaround to prevent rooted players from playing rather than having to actually make their app secure.
As for how, a quick Google search turned up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101380/determine-if-running-on-a-rooted-device
That's a very simplistic way to check, and even it would be difficult to hide from. I've no doubt companies that are doing this as an anti-hacking measure are doing things more complex than this.
Yea I did a google search too and nothing seemed to help. I tried the temp unroot but that doesn't work. Was wondering if the XDA community knew some better way as I didn't find anything on the forums.
Legality side of it, Yea I suppose your right. But it's like saying I can't install WinAMP on Windows because I changed some registry files. Companies should defiantly not use rooting as an "anti-hacking" tool against their app. Either way they got a bad review because of it, hopefully they will take it into consideration and fix it.
It's the first time I've ever heard of an app not allowed because of root, is that a common thing?
Not really common, per se, but I've heard of it on a couple of other games. It's almost universally games that are susceptible to some type of client side hacking. There are some other apps that will do more specific things, like block you if you try to run an ad blocker, but very few will outright stop you for only rooting.

Hey it WORKED!
What I had to do:
1) Installed SuperSU
2) Went to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>All and Force Stopped Superuser
3) Opened SuperSU, Settings, and unchecked Enable Superuser.
This app must use the 3rd method listed on shrike1978's link where it checks for su binary. Thankfully because the other two checking methods would be impossible to get around without unrooting. (I'm sure it's not impossible, but more work than I care to do)
Thanks for the help AgentFour20

Hey guys!
I recently got a Gamestick. I already tried a lot of things to get under the hood, I am unsuccessful so far.
I have discovered the Gamestick has an open port, number 7002. It appears to be an adb bridge, as typing:
Code:
adb connect <gamestick_ip>:7002
on my PC yields a succesful connection, however, "adb devices" then says that the device is offline.
Has anyone with a bit more know-how (and a Gamestick) tried this? This device looks really useful, but it's locked down and very limited in what it can do right now. I want to try running my apps on it, but it's locked down.

Hi guys I bought one of those game stick and the first day I converted it to developer stick from game stick website and by doing that it gave me access to everything you need to install apps I installed amazon app store aptoid Google play services gmail and couple of games like dead trigger riptide 2 sonic and worked perfectly with the controller the only thing am stuck with is play store I installed most of the apps needed for the play store to run but it only open register my Google account show me apps and games than switch off if someone know a fix to that please let me know the stick is already rooted just installed SuperSU and root browser to access and copy apps to system/app folder
any luck?
Sorry for re-opening an old topic but can somebody please repost the guide to side loading here? seems like it is deleted from gamestickers.net
I recently created a small custom ROM (more like a conversion) if you don't care about the Gamestick store (like me) and you want a open android stick that still works with the game pad, let me know and I can upload the ROM somewhere after I finish some details just make sure you understand that you won't be able to access the GameStick store at all, in fact your stick will no longer be a Gamestick, and well you might brick it, and all those disclaimers, blah blah blah
you can always go back to the original ROM

It's possible, but the method depends on what android version you have.
Can you give me the specific model number of the device and can you tell me what android version the device has installed? I'll see what I can find. I've done this on some RCA tablets from Walmart and a few other devices. It wasn't too difficult.
There are actually a lot of videos on YouTube that discuss different ways of bypassing FRP. I did some Google searching for methods to bypass FRP on the specific model numbers of the devices I had, I found a lot of videos on YouTube. Then, I kept trying the methods that I found until I found one that worked.
