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,

I've let it wait at that screen for five minutes now. Is that normal?

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?

Anyway, thank you a lot.

Worked like a charm. Very easy to Root as well as Unroot .... Superb .. Once I patched the ROM Rooting and unrooting happened just in a click ...
I was trying to root my fire xt 530 since 4-5 months but at last ... DONE
Only one issue I faced was that SUL TR software bundled in it was not working so I bundled all the working this together into 1 package.
Note - SUL TR I bundled supports both x86 and x64 machines, but the package size is more.

Hi,
I am get the same download error as king5b9 . i have attached the log files from sut lr . Kindly check the same and revert if i am doing anything wrong.
I've got the same problem as lots of KF rooted user >> the 6.3 update broke my root. My KF 6.2.2 was rooted using BurritoRoot3.
I've been searching the web and found a manual solution using fastboot mode (See "HOW TO Root Amazon Kindle Fire 6.3" http://www.blogotechblog.com/2012/03/how-to-root-amazon-kindle-fire-6-3/). It looks do-able but definitely more involved than some of the pre-scripted rooting tools.
Anyone know if/when some of those tools [i.e., KFU 0.9.4 or BurritoRoot(4?)] will be available?
Does anyone have contact info for the KFU developer --> I'd email them directly and ask.
Alternatively, I found this post on XDA >> "Rooted Kindle Fire 6.3 fixed using Kindle Fire Utility" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571622
I don't have KFU installed on my Fire, though. Can it be installed on my Fire since I now have 6.3? If yes, where can I get the steps to do that?
Thanks!
~K
in the same boat. no idea on br4, but i've read quite a few places that KFU 0.9.4. works well. not sure of what steps to take EG 1) temp root 2) perm root 3) flash FFF ..ETC also, do u know if there are .sbf/ruu files to return this thing to stock if something fails? i'll pm if i find more info plz do the same..
Has anyone replied to you yet or have you figured this out? I've got my Fire rooted again & it's running 6.3. I can help you get yours working too.

What's possible on a rooted Fire
And, I've got other stuff working on my Fire that other users were struggling with; such as:
• Swype keyboard
• HBO Go
• Screenshots (w/ app that requires root)
• Wireless printing
• Synched my Google acct to run Gmail & Listen w/o changing the stock launcher
• Have my Verizon Droid Razr broadcasting infrastructure hotspot *w/o* paying Verizon extra $30/mo
• Set up external wireless drive & converted DVDs to watch w/o wireless connection
None of this has taken up much memory - I'm only using about half my app memory space. You probably have much of this working too, but if not, ping me for info. I'm always happy to share.

Tried FBmode to reroot no luck
Hi,
I tried following instructions using fbmode. Got hung up on TWRP boot would not
go to yellow triangle for reboot. Tried running Fire Utility does not work - errors.
How did you reroot yours?
What error did you get when using KFU and what version of KFU are you using? I used KFU 0.9.5 and I realized that on the K Fire, KFU does not install the SuperUser.apk. Try running the most recent version of the KFU, then install the SuperUser.apk manually by sideloading it. That worked for me.
If you are going to run the Fastboot commands youself in a Windows command window, make sure of 2 things >> 1) you are running the commands from the directory where you have ABD installed and 2) that your laptop has recognized your K Fire (when you plugged it into your Laptop, your laptop loaded the K Fire drivers and you can see it as a drive in your Windows explorer). I got stuck in a boot loop with TWRP myself after I'd rooted and it took me a while to get out of it -- after I made sure of those two things above, the commands worked perfectly.
KFU
I was using the older 9.4 version - will give the new version a try.
Thanks,
Leapin
KFU 9.5 Works!
Thanks morgan - 9.5 worked !
KF rooting troubles
Using KFU 9.5.0 I've got my computer recognizing my KF as an android phone but KFU will not see that my KF is connected to my computer. I am eternally stuck in <waiting for device> mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What version of firmware is your Fire running - 6.2.2, 6.3, or 6.3.1? I know that KFU 0.9.5 supports firmware 6.3 and 6.3.1. Not sure if 0.9.5 supports the older 6.2.2. If you're running 6.2.2, you might need to run KFU 0.9.4.
I've gotten stuck at the 'waiting for device' prompt too. In my case, my Fire wasn't showing up as a device in my laptop's device manager. You're certain that your Fire is accessible? Does the Fire screen show the message that it's got a USB connection?
When I've had a problem with KFU, I contacted the developer Vashypooh. Got a really quick response too.
[email protected]
Vashy also monitors this IRC channel and, if online, will answer questions/provide help immediately:
http://chat.andirc.net/?channels=kindlefire
One other question -- are you running KFU from a Windows PC or a Mac? If you're on a Mac, I probably won't be much help -- I'm really more a Windows/Linux kind of gal.

***ONLY FOR RELAYS RUNNING ICS 4.0.4***
Samsung had just released the official Jelly Bean 4.1 update for this phone on April 22 or so and this root method only works for Ice Cream Sandwich devices.
I know there's already a thread of how to root the ICS Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G which is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34515281 but I thought that it may be hard for some people to do it without a visual tutorial. Here's my helpful tutorial video of how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G: https://plus.google.com/u/0/108388305247615258469/videos <-- You can easily find the video because it's the only video on that album.
Files Needed:
Winrar: http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0
Odin v3.07: http://www.4shared.com/zip/CGo6TP1O/Odin307.html? or for the latest and updated versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
Rooted System IMG: http://www.4shared.com/rar/nhGK59WR/SGHT699_rootedtar.html?
CWM File: http://www.4shared.com/zip/wLHTlktW/cwmtar.html?
If none of the links above work, message me at [email protected] or reply to this topic and I will reupload the files.
Steps:
1) On your phone, go to Settings-->Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
2) Turn off your phone and put it in Download Mode/Odin mode.
3) Download the odin307, sght699_rooted.tar, and that cwm.tar files from the links given above.
4) Extract all the files with WinRAR or other file extracting programs.
5) Open Odin v3.07
6) Make sure that it says "Added!" on the bottom left box. If it doesn't say Added, unplug and plug your phone from the computer.
7) Deselect/Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time"
8) Click on Phone and a pop up should come up.
9) Find the SGHT699_rooted folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the file inside it.
10) Click Start. This will take a while but it should not take more than 14 minutes.
11) Once it's done, click Reset.
12) Unplug and plug your phone again. It should say "Removed!" when unplugged and "Added!" when plugged on the bottom left box.
13) Deselect/Uncheck "F. Reset Time" but this time, keep the "Auto Reboot" marked/checked.
14) Click on PDA and a popup should come up.
15) Find the cwm folder that you extracted in Step 4 and open the cwm.tar.md5 file.
16) Click Start.
Once it finishes, your phone should reboot and be rooted. To check if it is actually rooted, go on Applications and find Superuser. If it is there, then you are rooted. Enjoy!!
Very nice. You are missing information, need to add the original posts/threads for the files that you mirrored so we can get version numbers and dates associated with the downloads. Feel free to edit the wiki in my sig if you want to help!
Ok. Thanks, but there's a problem. The files I mirrored other than Odin v3.07 are gone. The original link where the original tutorial was is gone. I had the link in my bookmarks but when I click on it, the webpage is unavailable. Ive tried viewing it from other computers and devices and it still wont work. So I decided to make a new one. Thanks again! The links should be updated in a few.

USB won't connect properly; want to un-root
You're rooting video was very helpful.
However, now that the phone is rooted, when I try to connect to my computer with USB cable, I get error message to the effect that the computer can't recognize the hardware ID of the device, so can't back-up the files on the phone or the SD card. I have all the latest Samsung USB drivers, and the computer recognizes that a Samsung device is connected, but the USB connection fails anyway.
How do I un-root the phone - do I have to boot up in download mode and use ODIN? Will this wipe my data, or just go back to the unrooted ROM and keep my data intact?

Oops, sorry. Forgot the part of your reply that said you've installed all the drivers. What do you mean by it can't recognize it? Does the SGH-T699 still show up on your My Computer?

When I connect the USB cable, Windows has a popup message that says:
" Hardware ID missing
Windows cannot identify the device plugged into the Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device.
For assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer"
Sometimes it tries - and fails - to install the MTP device driver.
However, when I go into Windows Device Manage, it does list SAMSUNG Android Phone | SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface, and when trying to update its drivers, it says I have the most up to date ones installed.
- What does "Hardware ID missing" mean? How do I get the phone to communicate with the computer using USB?
I thought it might have to do with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and the media device (MTP) protocol for USB, but, I had no problems getting the computer to recognize my son's (unrooted) Galaxy S 3, which also has ICS and is pretty similar to the Galaxy S Relay 4G. That's why I suspect the problem is with my rooted version.
Is there anything else I should try before un-rooting the phone?

Install kies or the USB driver directly from samsung.com. Try the USB driver first, then kies if it doesn't work.

Already tried both. USB driver is OK, the problem is with MTP. Kies only works via WiFi; does not recognize device with USB. I also tried Samsung tech support's suggestions, none of which changed the situation

Have you tried downloading the SDK Manager from "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html"? Open the big file that you just downloaded and open up SDK Manager. Install the Google USB Driver and as well as the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform-tools. Once downloaded, go back to the android-sdk-windows folder and go to the "platform-tools" folder inside and hold Shift and right click on "adb" and select "Open Command Window Here" of something like that. The command prompt will open. Type in "adb devices" and tell me what comes up. If you see your device(It should be a bunch on numbers and letters) on there, it means it is recognizable. This might not solve your problem as I do not know what "Hardware ID missing" exactly is. But I will do some research.
I did as you suggested, and was able to see my phone when I ran "adb devices" from the command prompt. And, Windows, recognizes it too, because when I click on the button to remove attached USB devices, it lists SAMSUNG_Android_SGH-T699. But, I still get the hardware ID missing message whenever I connect the USB cable. Frustrating! But, thanks for trying to help me - you seem very knowledgeable.
What you can try and do to fix the USB hardware error is go to control panel then go to "uninstall a program" and uninstall the samsung driver once you uninstalled it reconnect your phone and let it reinstal the files and i believe it should fix your problem
Samsung Noob here with a question.
Ok, I know this is gonna sound kinda noobish, but I come from HTC phones, and this is my first Samsung. Do I need to flash ClockworkMod Recovery on this, or do I flash a rom to the 4G Relay using Odin? If I use Odin, can someone give a quick overview on how?

you'll need to install a recovery as you did on HTC as ROMs usually come as recovery-flashable zips.
there's a cwm recovery available here which can flashed using Odin. If you don't like the cwm on the relay you can flash TWRP from cwm over it. TWRP comes with more options and the touchscreen-control you might be used to.
from (any) recovery you can just install update zip-files just as you used to on your HTC.
I had used the "howto root the Galaxy S Relay" thread, and then realized, I should just SU and reboot recovery. :victory:

If anybody else got this error do the following:
- uninstall all samsung drivers / software
- connect your phone to the pc
- the driver installation should 'fail', but you can access the storage
- install the samsung drivers now while phone is plugged in
After the installation the phone will be recognized and everything is fine - this worked twice for me now, so I guess it should do it.
I recently got one of these, I imagine quite a few people did (sale this year on em), and could find no documentation on how to root it. Hopefully this hits google and will help all the other users out there! I did not make the software but gave it a go and it worked fine.
How to Root your Nextbook NX007HD
Google and download Cydia Impactor (First result on Google) Extract it (desktop, wherever you prefer)
Enable USB Debugging on your Tablet (Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging)
Plug up your Tablet via USB, do not turn usb storage on, let windows try (and most likely fail) at installing drivers.
Launch Impactor and select USB Driver Scan from the top menu (under USB). Let it do it's thing, reboot your PC after.
Verify your tablet/android device is showing up on the start-bar as being plugged up/in (bottom right area)(this may not be needed depending on your setup)
Relaunch Impactor (if rebooted ) and hit the Start Button
Let it do it's thing.
You should be rooted :victory: now go install SuperUser!
I should additionally note in my experience the SuperUser by ChaindsDD does not properly catch/work, but the one by CWM does.
Hope this helped everyone out who was slightly concerned when they couldn't find a root method someone else had tried/verified!
Thank You
I got the NX007HD cause it was on sale, before needing this one I head bought a tablet Craigslist and it WS already rooted.
I have never rooted before and tryed the one click root which didn't would and came across this and after spending all day trying to root it with or help it was done in under 10 mins I can't thank you enough.
P.S by any chance cukdu tell me how I could change the start up screen?

Be sure to hit > Usb > Driver Scan at the top of Impactor as noted in the instructions!
Glad this helped you, I've rooted a few other friends tables (same model) with no problems!
Upgrade
Do you know where I can find help to upgrade the firmware from 4.1.1 to any later version, or if this is even possible for this model?
I am trying to download Angry Birds for my daughter, but it says that its not compatible with this version firmware.
No upgrade needed!

Hello dannybz,
Last weekend I was able to install many apps on my niece's tablets, (Angry Birds, Hay Day, Google earth, Ninja Fruit cut) :good:
After rooting the tablet with the great instructions you found here, you have to install an app called: "Market Helper" and follow the instructions...
codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/
Then you can install many apps you want...
Hope it can help you... It helped me a lot.
(I did this on 2 tablets with Android 4.1... the original version that comes with the tablet)
Can you provide a dump of original rom for this tablet?
Been trying to get a hold of it since forever.
