Is it possible to Root without using the micro usb? - Kindle Fire General

Title says it all.

Nope. You'll need to connect to your computer to do it.

I don't believe it's possible.

the answer is simply NO

Nope. Its ridiculous yet genius of Amazon to not include a USB cable.

With what is released right now, no it is not

Yea, sorry that is a no. Have a micro USB cable around from another device or phone? The process is fairly straightforward. What are your hesitations?

Yes, it works after reboot. But it may take place again, So do you know the root cause of this issue? thanks~
Possibly just your wifi card needing to be reset by you restarting it.

Your battery is drained. This is a hard situation because the device wont allow it to charge. Maybe try a factory cable or take the battery out and bring it to a shop that will charge it (batteries plus).im not sure really what to do.this happened to me once and i ended up frying my kindle electrically.

When my battery died, I plugged it in via USB and held down the power for 10 seconds, and let it charge like that.

Indeed. The battery will charge using the Kindle supplied charger/cable when it is in the powered off state. Plug it in, when it powers on/goes into the boot look like you describe hold down the power button until it powers off. Leave it sit like that over night. You should have a fully charged battery and you can go on to the next step knowing that it isn't a battery issue.
i cant connect to the kindle fire utility or threw adb and i have CWM as my recovery is there a way to get into it with using the utility?
I had a similar problem as the OP. When my Kindle Fire with TWRP has a really dead battery it can only be recovered with the original Kindle Fire charging cable.
When the Kindle Fire's battery is very dead, the custom bootloader, this case, TeamWin's TWRP v 2.0.0 does not allow the Kindle to power down and allow the charger to do its work. I left it charging like this for three hours with no success. The device turns on for a few seconds and shuts off repeatedly. This is a fault of the bootloader--the Kindle Fire original software doesn't do this. My other Kindle Fire has the original Amazon software.
The only way I was able to recover from this problem was to plug in the charging cable that came with the Kindle Fire. It still flashed on and off a few times but eventually recovered enough battery strength to boot.
By the way I also have the AmazonBasics 2.1 amp USB charger and other chargers but none of them work. I don't consider this the fault of the hardware but a fault in the TWRP bootloader which is not allowing the device time to charge itself--it should shut down but not reboot like it apparently does now.

160 gb mounted to the fire

Hello. I just wanted to share something pretty amazing. I have a self powered usb hard drive (plugs into wall) and using an otg cable and stickmount I can mount it to the fire!!! I have also tested about 6 other usb drives and only one worked (proof: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5obpehfp9zbqk53/MAH00651.MP4)without using a power hub. So yeah, just thought id share.
Cool!

Interesting. I have a 1TB self powered hub too. I might just get an OTG cable and try it out.

OTG Cable??

Hi,
I have purchased an OTG cable for my Nexus 7 and when I plug it in it flashes for a second and then goes off. Do I need to do something to get this to work?
Thanks

You're connecting a USB flash drive?
the N7 doesnt support usb flash drives out of the box you will need to find an app to mount it, or if your rooted use the terminal to mount it
Most popular app used to mount USB storage is Stickmount. It's been updated to work with JB/Nexus 7, too.

I bought the right angle usb otg cable from New Egg for 3.99 US and it works great.
I also have a micro sdcard reader from Lexar that is designed to plug into the usb port so I'm staying pretty compact that way.
Install stick mount, I use that to use my 64GB USB for extra storage.

I had to trim the plastic around my otg adaptor before it would connect properly and let stickmount work. Now works perfectly with sandisc cruzers

I have downloaded stick mount however that requires root so its a no go, also I see that people are saying they bought the right otg cable and it worked, is that non-rooted? If so where can I buy the right cable from as I am in UK?
Thanks

If not rooted- the stickmount app does pop up, but can't mount the device and you have no access to attached device because you don't have superuser rights.
So- you need to be rooted- and use the stickmount app.... that's it.

Yes, it does, read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743052
So long as you have rooted your device and installed Stickmount.

USB OTG and Nexus 7

Am I correct in saying that OTG cables will not work with an unrooted device? I've google'd around a bit and that is the conclusion I've come up with. Please someone prove me wrong and tell me how to get it to work without rooting.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
I think it is a mixed bag depending on the type of device. For instance, I don't know why a standard USB keyboard wouldn't work with a stock, unrooted tablet. Hard drive or USB key, though? Perhaps not without root.
The USB Media Importer app claims that it doesn't need root (but then I also see some ymmv comments about Nexus 7 and 4.2.2 there). I haven't used this app so I can't say one way or another. Maybe someone that has can add some commentary.
For storage I think otg access to read is available without root with a few 3rd party apps but to write to them I think you need to give them root access.
Other usb devices would depend on if drivers are in the rom/kernel.If it says it works with linux it usually works for android devices.

Thank you guys. I just would like to be able to transfer files via USB stick if I could without having to alter my Nexus.
