Lost root after OTA update yesterday! [email protected]@rds - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

I JUST spent a week trying to get voice-dictation working in my email app, which meant needing a keyboard that had voice as an option - I used Swype. IMMEDIATELY after all my hard work, on my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7" - actually, in the middle of still doing work on replacing fuzzy icons with shiny new ones - Amazon decided to do an OTA update and completely undo everything, and now I can't re-do it until someone figures out how to root this thing again. My guess is it won't be so easy this time around.
Goodbye cool keyboard and goodbye dictation and goodbye root and goodbye Voice Searching. And Hello ADS on the lockscreen again. I had gotten rid of them. Dammit.

I also have the special offers version and I also lost my root, but the ads didn't appear again. damn I'm really lucky

X2 my kindle fire HD is locked, i lost SU access.. any solution? i have 7.2.2 firmware...

Maybe try the 8.9 method? Maybe the 7 got the same fix the 8.9 has always had. I couldn't root my 8.9 using the 7 method. Maybe the 7 is just now getting the updates that the 8.9 has.
Just a thought

I see complaints about the OTA under the 8.9 thread that is stickied to the top of this forum as well?

Yeah, I noticed those too. The 8.9 got a 8.1.3 update that wiped root but the root method still works. So you just need to reroot. I don't see anyone mentioning using the 8.9 method on the 7 but I do see complaints about the 7.2.2 update.
So it's exactly clear....

I'd dig a little, but need to finish a ton of stuff. What happens when trying to reroot? I thought there was a way to lock out the OTAs as well, will be sure to do that this time around. Losing the work is a bummer to be sure; I just wanted to clarify what is going on for my own sanity and that of others who have to hit and run.

I went ahead and tried the 8.9 method on my HD 7 with 7.2.2
It did not work.
I have used this method with success on my 8.9 so I'm pretty sure I did it right. The terminal app never launches on the device.

Arcymag, thanks. I got that as well now that I had a little time.
Also, here is some info on the methods used to block OTA updates for future reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838&page=11
I apologize if this is seen as duplication, I'm trying to err on the side of tying up little loose ends if anyone had a similar recollection.

Root for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.2
Thanks to natorus87!
Step 1 Use "Root MANY ANDROID!" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460 and use the Normal Method. Pay attention, at some point you will have to respond to a "Restore" dialog box on the Kindle itself. Ignore any errors. The Kindle will reboot and now responds Slowly.
Step 2 Use "Qemu automated root" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 and allow the process to complete.
Step 3 Launch Apps-Superuser to initialize Superuser.apk
That was all you now have Root.

Looks like I should have tried option 1 of the root tool. Apparently it works even though we use option 2 for the 8.9.

Thanks, Prok.; that worked for my KFTT which was unrooted by the 7.2.2 update.
No idea what the included exploit bug-fix is but I notice that I now have a SuperSU app in addition to the prior SU.

Unable to Re-Root Droid 2 after Gingerbread OTA

Here's my problem,
I had the Droid 2 with stock ROM rooted and all was well. My phone installed the Gingerbread ROM (4.5.601) when Verizon pushed it out a few days ago. Thankfully, this did not totally jack up my phone. However, I no longer have root access.
I have tried three different 1 click root methods for the Gingerbread ROM but none of them worked. I tried un-rooting and re-rooting with one clicks and that's not working. I tried manually removing the Superuser app and rooting, no joy.
The one clicks are connecting with the phone but the phone does not seem to want to allow access to change files.
Before anyone asks, YES I have the drivers installed and the connection with the PC is good. I have attempted to run the 1 click roots in "charge only" AND "PC Mode". Debugging is on and I am set to allow non-market applications.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Tracker
Update: in trying to manually remove old superuser file with adb shell, I just can't seem to get the # prompt to execute the commands even after running Pete Souza's exploits.
suggestions?
Hope somebody comes up with an answer - same thing happened to me.
did you use the d3 root method? thats the only one that works 100% on gingerbread.
Yes. I used the "Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe" program on Win7:
psouza4.com/droid3/#root
I also followed the "Droid X Notes" section at the bottom even though I have the D2 and I'm not able to get the "adb shell" ending with #.
SOS!!
Thank you for such a clear, concise post! I am in the same boat with no luck. I used the one click root for D3 which says it will work for a number of Android phones, including the D2 Global, but is NOT working with my D2. I have run the application two times and both times it went through the entire process, rebooted my phone three times and said success but...no success... I am sooo bummed as the only way I get internet at home is via Wireless Tether which I can no longer use because I do not have Root access!
Desperate in Cool (the name of the town I live in), I need help!!
Thanks in advance,
Jeni
Yeah, still no joy here. I've retried everything that I mentioned in the OP and still can't get the # so I can execute an un-root and/or re-root as described on Pete's website.
I've tried it on both a Win XP and a Win 7 machine.
Anyone have any suggestions? It appears the D2 Gingerbread firmware doesn't want to allow permissions to modify certain portions that were allowed before.
Success
I didn't so much fix the problem as hit it with a bat until it shattered, then rebuilt it.
My fix was to SFB the phone back to Froyo with factory defaults, activate it with Verizon (at this point I have no software added or accounts set up on it so obviously no root), apply the OTA update to GB, perform the 1-click Root which worked this time, then setup my google accounts and install Titanium Backup which I had previously used, and restored all my data from it.
At this point I'm getting some force-close errors which I'm sure are related to the Titanium restore but I was able to ADB Shell in and SU so I know I have rooted it properly and at the very least I will do another clean wipe and restore individual applications one at a time so I know which aren't working right and go from there.
Good luck everyone!

I kinda figured that this would work. I'm trying to avoid a full nuke of the phone, but so far it appears that this is the only work around.
Anyone else got a plan?
Only option I was going to provide was SBF to 2.3.2 with RSDlite and re-flash the OTA, then run the Droid3 exploit.
I have a D2G and I had the exact same problem. I did an OTA upgrade without un-rooting (I was earlier rooted using z4root). I had a long discussion with Pete Souza, the guy who created 1-Click root. And he agreed to help me out. He did a remote to my computer and rooted my D2G. I am going to try to reproduce all the steps here.
Situation: Was rooted using z4root. Had Superuser and su binary both on my phone but root was not recognized by titanium Backup, SetCPU, etc.
Resolution:
Run Psouza's 1-cick root http://www.psouza4.com/droid3 (ensure u have motorola drivers)
First try the Root, and if that does not work only then continue with the following steps. I got an error after step 3 which said the phone cannot be rooted (or something like that). The first two steps were a success.
Now that the root is not working, run the Temp ADB Root from the same app. In my case even that failed - but Pete said that ignore the failure message.
Now, I need to delete the su and busybox which are leftovers from the earlier root.
Open a command prompt in the support_files folder where adb is located.
Get into the shell by typing: "adb shell"
type "/system/xbin/su"
This will pop-up a prompt on your phone to allow Superuser access - just click Okay.
The $ sign will change to #
Now type "busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
now type "cd /system/bin" This is where your su and busybox are.
Type "rm su"
Type "rm busybox"
After this just exit out of everything and run the 1-click root again. It should work now.

IMO this instruction should be stickied.
This worked perfectly on my wife's D2G. Rooted Gingerbread = a good start to the day!
Awesome! Thanks!
Just wanted to say I think i love you...this worked for me after two tries on my Droid 2.
First time I was able to remove su and busybox...then when I applied the one click root again, it said there were a bunch of errors but still succeeded. After the reboot I didn't get superuser access yet so I went through deleting su and busybox again (but busybox wasn't found)
The second time i decided to restart my phone before running the script again and when attempting to verify if su was still installed by going into adb shell...it said my phone was already rooted.
Thanks!!
Awesome!
Thanks! This worked for me as well! (after additional reboot)
Good Info but one problem for me
Since I did the OTA Gingerbread, I cannot get into debugging mode. I have uninstalled the Moto drivers & reinstalled using my administrator profile on Windows 7. I have also sbf my phone. Wipe cache. Factory reset. Activate service (NOT download or sync w/ google). OTA Gingerbread. This is on a regualr D2. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get into debugging mode. Otherwise I can't do anything.
Thank you!
I am so glad I found this post and the directions posted by drumster. I had previously used z4root and had not unrooted before allowing the Gingerbread upgrade. Pete's application fixed my Droid 2 on the first attempt; no other steps were needed.
Thanks again,
Andrew
awesome
psouzas 1 click worked for me. Droid 2. previously had rooted with deroot method until it updated by itself to gingerbread which broke root.
enabled usb debugging
in pc mode, clicked on souza's link and followed instructions
i have win 7 64 bit computer
It works
I just got it to work. I was on rooted froyo. Sbf'd back to stock froyo. Downloaded and installed OTA G bread. Then I had to run the D3 one click root method twice but the 2nd time it worked fine.

Market wont work on rooted kindle

Not sure what is going on. I rooted the fire, install vendor.app and framework. I open market it has a difficult time with my gmail.account but after a few tries it authenticates successfully. At this point it tries opening the market and fails. I've tried reinstalling, revolting.
I will say that I have not tried root explorer as I cannot understand how to install it (amazon denies my purchasing it since it is not compatible with my device)
Could it be a rights issue? If I need root explorer how can I get it?

sideload dat ****
Maybe you should try another version of vending.apk and sideload the root explorer into your fire rather than getting it from amazon.
Then i guess you might need to use the root explorer to modify the permission of vending.apk to rw-r--r--
Easiest fix for this is downloading the Kindle Fire Utilities:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
And once in, go to extras and install google hulabaloo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20240542&postcount=8
I had so much trouble with the market and other versions of Vendor.apk myself on the stock KF rom and no matter what I did, I ended up with similar issues. Setting permissions isn't really hard at all (most require a chmod 644, which is user/owner read + write, all others just read), and I actually did get it to work just once before having to restore a backup because I screwed something completely unrelated up . If you keep at it, there's a good chance you'll get it right eventually, but I just installed CM7 and couldn't be happier.
I also had trouble at first but I found this videos method to work flawlessly and easily.

I got it to work. Hopefully this works for you as it was frustrating for me to have so many problems.

Kindle Fire HD 7.2.3

Hi,
I just received Update 7.2.3 I am wondering what could have changed. There is now changelog so far on amazon.com
dang this is a real cat n mouse game going on with amazon. i've been trying to catch up on how i can root my brand new kfhd7 and another update pops up before i even finish reading everything within 24 hours of owning it. is there no way to flash a custom recovery with a fastboot cable?
Thanks for the update. I disabled some files. Let's see if it prevents 7.2.3 from unrooting my device.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
have u lost ur root after received the updates?
Yeah i lost my root - but i got it back after rooting it again
just use "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17" and take option 1.
still wondering if there's something new about the update..
Already up?
Already updated?
That to fix what is wrong, what? Or, in order to increase store sales Guernsey
First by a firewall blocking the update, but it can feel a little slow.
7.2.3 and re-routing, just one worry.
Backup routing state does not know, then here too bulletins see I'll have to.
All Merry Christmas

The other thread recommended that as the first step, and then the older qemu method as the second step. So I tried both. And both run into permission denied errors.
First I wanna say when I first got my kindle fire HD 7" I rooted it having 7.2.1 on it.. Amazon pushed the 7.2.2 update, and I lost root so I use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17, and used the normal option as he stated. Once that was done, the kindle was very slow and the screen was flickering and then I used qemuroot v1.0 as instructed and did option 1. It went thru its process and I regained root. I just now checked the kindle and saw 7.2.3 on there now. I went to Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 and chose normal option, and went thru the process and have regained root only by using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17. This was my scenario and excactly what I did each time.
I'm also getting permission denied errors no matter what guide I follow.

Re-rooting is the easy part. Rooting a new 7.2.2 or 7.2.3 seems to be the PITA.

It would be interesting to see if those who are having difficulty rooting 7.2.2 received their KFHD with 7.2.2 preloaded. I bought my KFHD 7" the first day of availability, never rooted it before, but was able to cleanly root it after it updated to 7.2.2.
I believe that it is possible that Amazon slipstreamed in a minor hardware change (that required the 7.2.2 firmware) that affects how the existing rooting methods operate.

Make sure you have the adb "composite" driver listed under the Kindle device in device manager. Otherwise you have the wrong adb driver and this won't work.

I just double checked, says Kindle Fire, then Android Composite ADB Interface, right below it. It always shows up just fine in adb devices.
I just did a factory reset, will start over and give it a few more tries tonight.

Well what do you know. It decided to work today. Don't think I did anything different (other than not trying a factory restore earlier).
Try running the first stage twice if you're getting permission errors. was able to root 7.2.3 by running option 1 twice back to back, no Qemu needed.
Anyone know of a temp root method for this?

What exactly do you mean by "temp root method"?
You can Unroot after Root if that is what you want to do. What are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks for the completely bland and incorrect Guide! Nowhere in that ZIP archive is a file called "CheckBeforeActivation". With many hundreds of thousands of these devices in the marketplace, do your fellow XDA members and GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU POST!!!:silly:
The file was removed as it was it copy of another file

This method works on my zenfone 4 where else fail using fastboot zip file method
Thanks for posting this!
how come you cant update supersu??
I tried this method to root my device, I have a BBY build. The application says it rooted okay. When I reboot the device and try to install BusyBox it says it doesn't get a response from the device. When I check root with Root Checker Basic it says that the device is not rooted. Any thoughts on what I might be missing?
Is the super user app installed?

after the latest update 11.8.3.31 (from 11.8.3.30), this root method and the rootzenfone method can no longer root the tablet.

its safe to update it now..before it would remove superuser and you would have to factory reset the re-root
To the OP, it looks like you just reposted the work of twenty-three pin from here:
https://translate.google.de/transla...sts/247110-merry-christmas&edit-text=&act=url
Too bad when you were stealing someone else's work you didn't work slowly enough to notice that he mentions that the Asus 572C should use V2 of his work:

Hope this helps someone.
If you check the commands int the .bat file, you will see they are different... Its just basic fastboot commands. And as of recent updates the me572 can't be rooted using this method. So I'll head back to the drawing board as soon as I get time to

Thanks, but meanwhile I've rooted with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/help/rooting-memo-pad-7-rootzenfone-t3000389 and also updated without problem.
Also no need for ADB with that method.

Rooting Producedure

Anyone tried rooting Pixel XL and how does it works after rooting ? Reviews
Everything works fine here
Rooting generally does not and can not effect the device. What you do after may either harm or help the device.
All that rooting does is give you SU access it is what you do with the access that makes a difference.
Mind you even though in itself rooting is pretty harmless, Google will always try and detect the root and stop APPs like Android Pay from working.

No issues here, Enable OEM unlock and unlock the device via ADB then use adb to "fastboot boot boot-to-root.img" allow it to reboot and set up again then away you go ( you might have to ADB BOOT the boot-to-root for it to stick )
Using the ad away work around now ad blocking is a go
Working fine with ElementalX kernel and root.

With USB Debuiing enabled open your ADB terminal and type :
"adb shell"
"su"
"mkdir /su/etc; cp /system/etc/hosts /su/etc/hosts; echo "#!/su/bin/sush\nmount -o bind /su/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts" > /su/su.d/50adaway; chmod 0700 /su/su.d/50adaway"
After this reboot your device and apply ad blocking hosts with the latest ad away build
Thank you for the info!
I wonder if there are plans to update adaway so this procedure will not be needed..
Thanks again great detail

All you have to do is download the 3.2 Dev preview build and enable systemless mode in preferences. Works like a charm.

That's great so with version 3.2 dev no adb procedure is needed?
