I am trying to root a kindle fire. I downloaded superoneclick 2.3.3.0. I have windows 7 64 bit. I see the driver for kindle fire is listed in the ini file. If I launch superoneclick and click root, the status indicates the daemon was killed and then restarted successfully. Nothing else happens after this. If I wait more than a minute and try to click anything in the application, the not responding displays. I downloaded superonclick from another site and I get the same response from the app. The kindle does seem to be attached to the pc ok since I can see the folders. Also I do have install 3rd party apps enabled. Also, I did run superoneclick as administrator and disconnected all other usb devices.
What cold be wrong here?

Milton
I've been trying to root my kindle fire for the last 6 hours now. I keep getting hung up with ADB not finding it. Everyone seems to magically fix it and then disappear without saying how they got it to work, hahaha.
I have tried everything I can find. Set the .inf file, set drivers, anything. I get the feeling that I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't figure it out. Any help would be very greatly appreciated, thanks!
Win 32/64 (tried on both)
Kindle Fire 6.2.2
No roots, no nothing
KFU says:
ADB Status: Offline
ADB Rooted: No
Boot Status: Unknown
Right now I need sleep, but please please let me know if you have any suggestions!
I am in the same boat..any luck?
KFU Problem
Does your device manager say "Android Phone" followed by " Android Composite ADB device " below it? Your device manager has to say this ( exactly, not just Android adb device or Android Composite Device) before you can access your KF correctly.
If you don't see the correct Android device showing up then Google this "how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver"
and there should be a good walkthrough as the first search result.
If you do see the correct entry then I'm sorry, I don't have enough experience with that specific problem to help you.
I'm in the same boat, and my kindle is definitely seen as the composite device.
I am a Noob. I was wondering if anyone can Step by Step help me with downloading all needed files. Step by step help me root and load my Kindle Fire 2 with Google play. I have read some of the threads and youtube vids. But can find certian ones or vids are missing. Thank you if someone has this in step by step process. Noob Out!!!
Re: Kindle Fire 2nd gen Root and Google play HELP
Prerequisites:
A FULL stock Kindle Fire 2nd Gen with latest firmware (10.5.1)
A Windows PC with Kindle Fire ADB drivers
A USB Cable (one should have come with your Kindle Fire device)
Alright! Let's get started!
Unlock your device and do the following:
Pull down the notification bar and go to More>Device and turn on "Allow Installation of Applications from Unknown Sources"
Now go back and go to Security and turn on "Enable ADB"
Double check you're on the latest firmware by going back to Device and going to About
Are you good so far? If so, your device is ready to be rooted!
Now on your computer, Download the file in this post: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Now extract the zip file to your desktop in a folder named Root
Connect your USB cable to your computer and then to your Kindle Fire device
Run the RunMe.bat in the Root folder
Make sure your device is unlocked, then press 5 on your keyboard and press Enter
If your device checks out (doesn't have SuperSU installed and its not rooted), then it will show a Restore request on your device, tap Restore My Device
It will say Restore Started and then Restore Finished within 1-2 seconds
Your device will now reboot
Now, before you start freaking out because now your screen is at the lock screen and the Kindle Fire boot logo keeps flashing in the middle of the screen and you cant unlock it, this is normal! It is still rooting your device
It will reboot one more time
If everything went well, then you should be able to unlock your device and see SuperSU installed, meaning your device is now rooted!
Since I'm VERY tired and can barely stay awake right now, the page that tells you how to install Google Play to your Kindle Fire are the androidguys. Thats the one I followed.
Hope this helped,

My command prompt stops saying anything after "*daemon started successfully*"
I've let it wait at that screen for five minutes now. Is that normal?

Yes, it did. Then I ended up bricking it. If you can help, here's the topic with the info about what happened: forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hd/fire-2-help/kindle-fire-unbrick-help-t2975569
I need help figuring out how to root a RCA RCT6077W22 tablet. It has Android Jellybean 4.1.1- v1.0.1, 8GB built in storage, 1GHZ processor, Google apps installed, kernel is [email protected]#132.I'd like to try to root it from the tablet itself if not I'm familiar with SuperOneClick as I've used it for my Samsung Galaxy S 4G before I should it. If it comes to that option I need to be able to use a rooting program on my computer that does not require internet the only internet I am able to use is the libraries. I have a laptop but no charger so my laptop is dead. I'm not a noon when it comes to rooting as I've mentioned I've done it before. Just need help finding a root for this tablet. I appreciate any help I get and thank you. If you need more info feel free to ask. I've also looked at the topic about the 4GB but its not that helpful is why I created my own topic.

I have the rct6378w2 RCA 7' 8GB tablet (4.2.2 JB). (Black Friday 2013 Walmart for $49)
I was able to root it by first installing the pdanet drivers (for adb access). And then using the kingo app, which you can get from http://www.kingoapp.com/.
Its free but closed source. I found it via this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MiZtZCqu4k
Worked even with the 1.0.2 update installed (which I have no clue what it did (17MB).

I cannot get pdanet to get the drivers. I cant find any drivers anywhere. Pdanet says to click ok after connecting, and it just says no android device found..I think there's an error box too.. I don't know how to fix it. I also have the tablet from the black friday event. Exact same one. Also, I have USB debugging on...
UPDATE: I found out the problem! The support files weren't in the root file I had the .exe in. I just moved the .exe to the same folder with the support files, and now I'm rooted and ready! Thanks!

how are you turning on usb debugging? I also have this tablet(purchased on black Friday from Walmart like everyone else) and mine doesn't seem to have that option anywhere. in fact, compared to the previous two android products I have, this device seems to lack ALOT of available functions. though I am capable of navigating a recovery menu at boot. but that doesn't do me any good for using pdanet. that seems to be my biggest road block. pdanet wont install because the onl;y way I can allow my device to connect to my pc with adp is using the adp updater in the recovery boot menu.

It is a hidden option that needs to be enabled. Follow this guide: www ninjaromeo com / enable-usb-debugging-developer-options-jelly-bean/
I just enabled this option on my Walmart BF 7" RCA RCT6378W2 tablet.
Sorry I had to mangle the link because XDA wont let me link external sources yet.
Glad I could help a few. Now, someone get on a functional recovery ;p
I have poked around a little at the stock recovery, backing it up, etc.. But am not brave enough to try and get CWM working on it.
I was able to use th Xposed framework for a few mod's no problem. Battery mod, reboot menu, hide navbar, etc.. But Xposed can only do so much.
Edit: I heard on reddit this tool also works for rooting. I have not tested it (already rooted with the other method).

Getting Debugging to work.
I was not drunk when I made this post...I have the RCT6378W2 if you go to about tablet in your settings and repeatedly tap the build number...the deveolper options will appear...I fell out of my seat when i discovered this.
On a side note...if you repeatedly tap the android version...a cute picture of the android jellybean will appear. Try it.

1: Install drivers. Seeing as RCA does not provide drivers, we had to find some that work. That's where PDANET comes in. Their drivers support a very wide range of Android devices. We are not installing it to tether. We just want the drivers it provides. So download PDANET, install, let it detect your device, install the drivers, and then afterwords you can uninstall it.
2: Enable Developer Options. Settings>About tablet> Tap Build Number a bunch of times till it's enabled.
3: Enable USB Debugging. Options>Developer Options>Click On (up top)>Then checkmark USB Debugging
That should clear up some of the confusion in this thread. How you root after step 3 is up to you. Personally, I did it with Kango. Which was straight forward. Connect device, hit a button, Say yes to a couple questions, reboot, presto done.

Thanks, that sorted things out.
To make clear, and aid in any other inquiries, I managed to find an ADP connection mode, among other android update features. with the device off, hold volume up while turning the device on. it should boot to an image of an android with an open chest panel and the words, "no command". if you push volume up again it will provide you with options and instructions on how to execute. you can manual update the device with an SDK through USB ADP mode this way. I'm not sure if that makes anything simpler or generates a work around but I hope it helps with future development for this device.
Well got root now we need a recovery...
For some reason when trying to make sure I can send adb commands to my tablet, I am showing no devices connected. I check in device manager and it shows up as Android ADB interface for the tablet. These drivers were installed with the latest version of PDANet. Thoughts or how were you all able to get the drivers fully loaded and working? I have developer options already enabled and USB debugging mode is checked.
Info: RCA RCT6378W2 Tablet
Android 4.2.2
Kernal 3.0.36+
PDANet+ 4.12
Windows 7 64 Bit (I also tried it on my windows 7 32 bit computer)

You need to create "adb_usb.ini" in "Users>Username>.android".
Inside "adb_usb.ini" insert "0x2207" and save.

I had this problem too. make sure you're using the most recent version of pdanet. for whatever reason the older version just hang there and dont work right.
Installed the latest pdanet. It wont install the driver. I checked the device manager and it still shows the device without the driver. not sure what else to try..
Hello,
My Kindle Fire HD 7" (model # P48WVB4) got stuck in a bootloop. The kindle is used to play games and I am not aware of anything special that was being done at the time this happened. I can get into the kindle menu after typing the kindle password for just a few seconds and it looks normal, and then reboots. We got a fastboot cable which seems to work fine, and displays "Fastboot kindle fire". I can attach it to my desktop computer running Windows XP and updated the drivers such that it properly shows up under devices as "Kindle Fire" -> "Android ADB Interface".
I have installed the ADK onto the desktop and tried running the "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" commands. These say "List of devices attached" but the list is blank; it does not show my device.
Any help would be appreciated.
I would very much like to preserve the game data on this unrooted device. There are a couple games I have been able to back up by finding directories where they live, or saving them to facebook, but there are others which I could not figure out how to back up (perhaps I could if I had rooted the device when I got it).
Thanks
