KFU Tweak to restore Full Functionality w/6.2.2 and BurritoRoot - Kindle Fire General

Not wanting to steal any of Vashypooh's thunder, but I kluged together the following tweak/hack to restore full functionality to KFU with 6.2.2 ROM and the new version of BurritoRoot.
Basically I've taken JCase's directions for using BurritoRoot2 and incorporated them into Vashypooh's script. I know there are better ways to do this, but everything seems to be working OK.
1. Download the new BurritoRoot2. Links can be found at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410223
2. Move BurritoRoot2.bin to the '\files' subdirectory in your Kindle Fire Utility directory.
3. Find 'run.bat' in the KFU directory, open in your favorite text editor, and find the following section:
Code:
:burrito
if "%adb%" == "Online" (
if /i not "%rooted%" == "Yes" (
echo. Installing BurritoRoot, Courtesy of Jcase of TeamAndIRC!
echo.
tools\adb install -r files\\%kindleroot%
echo. Activating BurritoRoot...
tools\adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n net.andirc.kindleroot/net.andirc.kindleroot.DirectCall
echo. Elevating the Shell...
tools\adb kill-server
echo.
tools\adb root
echo.
tools\sleep 5
set rooted="yes"
4. Edit the section so it looks like the following (the highlighted lines are the changes):
Code:
:burrito
if "%adb%" == "Online" (
if /i not "%rooted%" == "Yes" (
echo. Installing BurritoRoot, Courtesy of Jcase of TeamAndIRC!
echo.
[COLOR="Red"][B]tools\adb push files\BurritoRoot2.bin /data/local/
tools\adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin[/B][/COLOR]
echo. Activating BurritoRoot...
[COLOR="red"][B]tools\adb shell /data/local/BurritoRoot2.bin[/B][/COLOR]
echo. Elevating the Shell...
tools\adb kill-server
echo.
tools\adb root
echo.
tools\sleep 5
set rooted="yes"
5. Save the file and run. Full Functionality should be restored to KFU
I'll have to admit I haven't tried every option, but I have been able to install the permanent root, install Twrp, and install the Google apps.
Hopefully this works OK for you. If not... I can try to help, but I'm really pretty new at all of this. You might be better waiting for the next version of KFU.

I just used your method and replaced the Burrito2 code and added in the file. Then I went to 0.92 KFU and run it. Now my Kindle is bricked, stuck on kindle fire logo and the unbrick utility won't work for it.

thanks alot, your method works, i can install TWRP now

since it is still kfu the op of kfu is still valid:
Known Tricks
•If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution
•If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

Follow the instructions carefully and don't mess up your run.bat. This method DID work for me. I regained root and reinstalled recovery without issue.
Thank you very much, rich_stwrt!

Have you PMed vashy with the updated code so he could add it to the KFU on the main thread?

I like this idea too.
Thanx for the info, changes worked fine for me. Just got my kindle 2 days ago and got recovery going now...time for some flashing!

yeah... if you use this to try and get into fastboot mode.... it'll brick you
i'm now bricked...

Most likely not...
I used this this morning without any issue on a friends KF using his computer... There was a hitch where trying to get fastboot working but as usual it was the common problem of device drivers needing to be redone (again). Every thing needed to get his KF settled after the update is included.
Note that if you are seeing <waiting for device> your drivers are not loaded correctly... Even if they were before... you need to reinstall them again.

well, my kindle won't boot past the "kindle fire" screen, i've rebooted numerous times...
the lack of solid drivers for this thing is ridiculous

I edited the .bat file as you showed us how to do here and it worked great using the KFU, thanks a ton!!

what do you mean lack of solid drivers?
They include the only drivers you need with the KFU. If you get stuck look up the KFU thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889) and there are plenty of people that got stuck, read how to get unstuck in that thread.
If you follow the directions carefully it should work as I have done it all on 3 kindle fires and all 3 worked flawlessly. The 1st one required me to install drivers again and after that everything very smooth.

like alot of people i'm reading about, i've downloaded the "install_drivers.bat" 1k times.
i even deleted android sdk and re-installed it, still same thing. adb works, fastboot does not.

root Kindle 6.2.2
Ready to paste Burrito2 from Kindleupdates folder, but can't find "files" directory, even with search. Do I edit run.bat on the Kindle? Is there any way to see all the kindle folders on the computer? TIA

I tried this method but i'm getting this error when the kfu tries to write the recovery image after rebooting into fastboot mode.
"downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links)"
Anyone had a similar issue?
I'm posting here cause i can't post in the official kfu thread.

Thanks for this! It worked great to quickly re-root my Kindle. I had absolutely no problems, but that may be because I don't use Fastboot. (To be honest, I never understood what I needed it for.)

Repacked KFU
You can find the repackaged Kindle Fire Utility for Firmware 6.6.2 in this thread:

Thanks for this tweak. It worked perfectly! Before this, I'd rooted manually following jcase's instructions but wasn't able to get the recovery software loaded. This fixed the issues

If you would have followed my tutorial you wouldnt have this problem here is the fix:
• I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:
cd c:\KindleADB this is to get into adb shell
adb devices this is to make sure your kindle is connected properly
adb root this is to get proper permissions
Just to be very clear on what you should type in your cmd prompt:
cd c:\KindleADB
adb devices
adb root
• Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.
here is a link to my tutorial for you to check if you have more problems afterwards:

I tried what you said, and have made some progress, the Kindle Fire is rebooting when it comes to say "waiting for device" but then gets stuck at boot, so I have to put it back to normal boot rather than fast boot

Once again all of the answers to your problems and the questions you have are in this tutorial. From what it looks like to me from your screen shot you do not have "root Permissions" if this is in fact the problem then what you are probably trying to do is to start at step five from the Kindle Fire Utility and download to install twrp2.0 If this is what you are trying to do then you must see on the command prompt of KFU that you are downloading and then waiting on device. If this is still your situation then the fix is what I stated above and in my link. If you have gotten passed that problem and still have issues with you either being stuck at the yellow triangle( firefirefire ) or a Kindle Fire boot screen that will not go away then the fix is also in my link... If you do not wish to follow the link and see the videos or read through the trouble shooting guide then I am afraid I have no way of helping you...
If I helped please do not forget to hit the thanks button and post back in my guide thread that it worked okay for you as well so that new members can see that this is one of the easiest guides to follow here is a link to take you to that guide a little quicker good luck....

ok, thanks of course
but let me tell you I'm a very stubid person
you know? the root couldnt do it without the video on Youtube
so can you please give me the steps one by one, like how can i install twrp??
i relly don't know that much, but i would be pleased if you help me, thank you anyway
1. download kfu http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/utility/Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.2.zip
2. extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu" that it is "c:\fku"
3. download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
4. move it to c:\kfu\tools"
5. open a (elevated command prompt) and enter "cd c:\kfu\tools"
6. enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img" - leave command prompt open - need it later
7. tap reboot on the kf - it should reboot to twrp
8. download http://www.multiupload.com/VUAPS24569
9. rename downloaded file to "update.zip"
10. copy update.zip to sdcard
11. in twrp on the kf tap install - select update.zip and install
12. if it finished tap clear dalvik/cache on the same site
13. in your command prompt type: adb shell "idme bootmode 4000"
14. and then type: adb reboot
that's it - if you have got no errors to this point it should reboot - it takes some time for the first boot
good luck !
Thank You Again I Know I'm like Pain in the Ass, but you are amazing.
So, Now I'm at TWR, I did All the 10 steps successfully but still My PC couldn't find My Kindle Fire So I can copy update.zip to sdcard
Is there A Soultion you have for this problem?
becuase I think my problem will be kind of easy after this step, right?
Of Course many thanks to you, relly man you are a lifesaver
I Love You
PS : when i adapt the kf with my pc and go to Devises and printers
it goes under "unspecified" and the name "Unknown Device"
not like the others the name is "kindle fire".
I'don't know relly what the mistake that I made but I'm sure I did one because
before the name was Kindle fire not unknown
and thanks again anda again and again
it's a driver issue right now
- right click the unknown device and select update driver
- select don't search and have disk
- direct it to c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
if your on win7 this might be helpful too:

Sorry for being late, but i had a problem with the internet conection
So...
My PC OS is Windows 7 64-bit
i did what wrote on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21720811&postcount=41
but it dosen't really helpful, in fact it was somehow, let me tell you what i got now
Now, My Pc Recognized my Kindle, and when I go to devices and printers I had this "http://i.imgur.com/q8SCu.png"
but when I go to My Computer, I found nothing !!
there is no Driver for the device.
So... is there any solution to this problem?
when you are in twrp you should tap on mount and mount the sdcard
then it should show up on your computer
you should use device manager to look at the devices and see what's going on
what i see on your picture is not the device manager
Ok, this is photo from my device manger

about the twrp i don't have any option
just the the yellow triangle and wrote down "Press power button for recovery"
of course i try to hold on the power button to recovery and nothing happen
also try to press the power button repeatedly but nothing happen
try to issue:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001
if the command says <waiting for device> then power it down by holding pwr ~20sec - unplug and replug - but don't power it on - does it by itself
the kf should pickup the command at some point and the command finishes
No Way!!
Now I'm really like this
really I don't think that my kindle will be back after what I did
but you man?? Unbelievable, you are amazing, you are Genius
Thank you so much, so much.
Now People I have My Kindle Back, wow!
That's really Unbelievable.
and you sir, you are fantastic!
thank you again, and good night "it's night where I live"

Kindle fire utility prob [Solved]

a good practice is to put kfu 0.9.2 to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" that it is c:\kfu
to use it with stock 6.2.2 and burritoroot3 you have to patch the run.bat:

Ok I will try that, um I have another question.
Is it ok that I flashed firefirefire on before I put the recovery on it.
Or do I have to remove it before I put the recovery on?

it is ok but twrp will overwrite fff with a older version cause it has it integrated in the installation - would reinstall fff 1.2 afterwards
ok thankyou all very much, I will look for the newer version when recovery is on.
whats weaid now is when the adb server starts up now it says its an older version and needs to be updated. I guess as long as it works I'm not going to cross that bridge LOL.

Ok I did the backup, now the twrp is at 2.0, should I update it?
or can I just stay at this version, and also if I do update it. do I just install the update over top of the 2.0?
at some point I plan on putting a different rom like cm6 or cm7 or something else on it.
Oh and can I boot to recovery without it being plugged into pc and do the stuff on it without the pc now?

The best guide to rooting and installing roms

[Under construction]
Hello,
Since I see that a lot of people are having trouble with rooting and installing roms, and since their isn’t a guide for everything I decided I’d write thing.
Table of contents
Intros
-I.1: Intro
-I.2 Support list
-l.3 What is rooting?
--Pre rooting:
1.1 Downloading our utils
1.2 Prepare our transformer
--Rooting
2.1 Rooting
--Recovery Installation
3.1 Recovery and roms
3.2 Different roms
--what to do with root

________________________________________________________________________
I: intro
This guide is presented in the easiest way. If you follow each and every step you should be fine. With that said I cannot be held responsible if you mess up your device in any way
I.2 Support list
This guide is meant to be universal as possible. I can guarantee this will work with original us transformer. I’m not yet sure of the slider, 3g or ww models. Please confirm them working below in the comments. Keep in mind you should always check the support of the rom you want to use by looking at by checking the thread.
l.3 What is rooting?
Rooting a great thing. With it you can install roms, ,make backups and overall great backups. Below is a article on it:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Root-Your-Android-Phone,review-1688.html
________________________________________________________________________
1.1 Downloading our utils
STOP: If you have a device running .19 or below use razor claw for rooting. Then, afterwords if you want to install recovery the a rom jump to 3.1 Razorclaw doesn’t require you to have a computer.
Before we begin we will need to get our computer ready to root with nacho root. Head over to

Select your device, The for the OS dropdown box choose “OTHERS” Then hit the plus next to “UTILITIES (1)”. Under that click Global (DLM). Wait till it downloads then install it.
Finally to get our rooting software. We will be using nacho root from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838&page=1
Download Nacho root and SU
Pic 6
Go back to your android SDK folder we download earlier. Put both of the files in the “Platform-tools”
Pic 7
1.2: prepare our transformer.
Go into the settings. On the left click application. Make sure “Unknown sources” Is checked. Then click development. Make sure “Usb debugging” is checked.
2.1 rooting. It is rooting time. Make sure your device has a good charge on it. Then hook it up to your computer.
Go to your computer and open cmd by hitting the start button then typing in cmd. In the windows type in:
Cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Make sure you have the space between cd and C: If an error returns you didn’t follow the tutorial and put the folder in the correct path. If that is case use the right path.

Hit enter.
Now type in:
Adb devices
A random string of number should appear, if not your don’t have your asus usb drivers installed correctly.
Here is the instruction for you to type in to root from the dev. Do it one line at a time. Do not type in any of the <wait for boot> things.
Code:
adb push nachoroot.bin /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/nachoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage1
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage2
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell id
<if id is 0 / root then continue, else start over>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --undo
adb reboot
If you did it right an your device didn’t turn into an ipad you should be ok. Go to the market. Get super user. If all goes well you have root.
STOP: Now if you don’t want to install recovery and get a rom (which I HIGHLY recommend) this concludes the end of the tutorial. Feel free to view the information after the recovery and rom section.
3.1 Recovery Installation and roms.
THIS REQUIRES A MICRO SD CARD
If you are here you must want to get recovery, install a rom, and make your tf 1000% times better.
To begin go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
Get the app either on your computer OR your transformer. Install it, and click the giant button. Let it do it’s thing. Now you have recovery, which allows you to install roms.
Time to boot in recovery. Get this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173434
and click the oversized button to boot into recovery. (Yes you can do the other method by turning of your tf and holding both power button and bottom volume at the same time then clicking vol up when you see text, but that requires more then one finger.
There you go. You’ll see a recovery screen.
NOW pay careful attention. Once you are there we need to make a backup. Use your vol keys to scroll down to “Backup and restore”. Select it with the power key. Now make a backup by clicking backup (With the vol and power keys from now on obviously). Now you have a backup. To install a rom simply get the rom from the xda section (check comp. and don’t get nflash) and put it on your micro sd card. Boot into recovery. Scroll down to “install zip from sd card”. Then choose zip from sd card. Find the rom you put on the micro sd card. It should install. If this was to difficult view this kind man’s vid tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWdfce9wBjs&feature=related
May be wondering what rom you should pick. I recommend revolver, because the dev is offering me a large some of many to say that (Just kidding ). But really revolver is great.
Others include:
Prime
Revolution
And many more at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1107.
I wonder why there has been no one at least thanking you for your effort in writing this reference,
However i followed your instructions and have been successfully able to root my Transformer,
Thank you very much
keep it up

No, for ICS on the prime there is another method. I thought the name is mempodroid.
Look in the prime forum.
O.k then I'll root with this tool then use OTA Root keeper so I can be rooted on ICS

My answer is NO. I just push to ICS 4.0.3 and it does not work on ICS.

[A70B/IT2 HC][3.2.81 update] Enabling SDE and rooted firmware package

First:
Warning! This is only for A70B/A70IT2 Honeycomb model, It won't work on Froyo model!
Here is a package that enables unofficially SDE menu in recovery and install a rooted stock firmware with busybox and SuperUser.Apk
Pre-Requisite:
- Adb must be enabled on tablet and PC driver+adb command must be working. You can test on pc with "adb shell", it should give you a '$' prompt. If you don't have this, first make it work. There are multiple links around to help if needed.
Instructions:
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory.
- Launch enable_sde.bat on your pc. It's better to do it in a cmd.exe window, you'll be able to copy-paste log here if anything goes wrong.
- Follow instructions in the cmd window. Basically, script reboots tablet multiple times, you have to press enter when tablet is completely booted each time.
- Congratulation, your device is sde enabled and has a rooted sde firmware. Please read below for more information.
Upgrades:
If you already installed a first version and enabled sde already, here is how to install new rooted firmware:
- Optional: flash updated stock firmware. I always recommend to match stock firmware, it avoids dalvik-cache rebuilds and bootloaders may have been updated in new firmwares.
- Boot rooted firmware. You should be running rooted firmware if you want upgrade script to work. To be sure of that, you should see SuperUser app in your apps menu.
- Unzip files on your pc in adb.exe directory
- Launch upgrade.bat (or upgrade.sh for linux)
- Tablet reboots at the end to rooted firmware and should be upgraded to new version.
SDE information:
1) What is SDE?
SDE (Special Developer Edition) is basically a dual boot mechanism. It allows us to dual boot Archos stock firmware and our custom ones.
2) How does it work ?
I won't give much details on how to use it, I should do a separate topic about this one someday. Until then, here is some basic information:
- At the end of this script, you are booted with sde firmware, superuser should be in your start menu and you should be root with adb or any root app.
- If you reboot or boot, press volume up while booting, it will display the dual boot menu. Select "Developer Edition", it will start the rooted build (check here point 9 to see how it looks).
- If you missed volume key or don't do anything during reboot, you will go back to unrooted stock firmware. You have to press the volume up key during boot to get the boot menu.
- Warning: booting stock firmware is harmless except that you will loose your SuperUser.apk preferences. As it's not part of stock firmware, Android clears it.
- You can boot straight to rooted firmware by deleting the stock firmware kernel in recovery. Check here, do point 4,5, and on screen 6, select "Remove Android Kernel". Make sure that you have properly working SDE firmware before doing that. If you want to re-enable back stock firmware, just flash it from recovery again.
Downloads:
3.2.80 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (Mediafire), Mirror 2 (Sendspace).
3.2.81 can be downloaded here: Mirror 1 (SendSpace) (bat fixed)
Sorry, Mediafire no longer let me upload without signup, if you know one good upload location without registration and allowing more than 200 MB, let me know.
*reserved*
Registered just to say thank you!
Worked like a charm, and no problems using the shell script (I run Arch Linux)
Keep up the good work!
Thanks

Nice job! Thanks for the article on jbmm!
Thanks, will try it out soon.
Thanks letama, this is just what I wanted. Awsome work!
I think there is an error in upgrade.bat and enable_sde.bat for 3.2.81.
The line that reads:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /media/
should read:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
Also, upgrade.bat is missing the line that says:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Ah! Right! Thanks for pointing it, I'll fix that and re-upload when I find time to do it.
Also, upgrade.bat is missing the line that says:

Yes, this is normal, this one is only needed when enabling sde first time. local.prop is coming from temp root and won't be there anymore.
I finally had time to try it out tonight, all seemed to be installed fine, but I don't see the Superuser in the apps list... I can boot into developers fw menu though. Did I miss something or should I just try to reinstall the SDE again by running that bat file again?
No, as ColinTaylor said, there is a typo in script, you just need to push the ext4.update at root of storage.
Just type this command in the directory you unzipped the files:
Code:
adb push android_32.ext4.update /data/media/
then boot sde.

adb is a developer tool from android sdk that let you execute commands on your tablet from your PC. You have to install android sdk to get it, you need to enable it on the tablet and have a proper driver.
