Its here!!!!

Got my atrix today. Still tryna get used to a 4 inch screen. Havent rooted yet (usually root my devices the second they get there first charge) but seems as if everything is beta rite now. Question though, would the updated motoblur launcher work without root? Like sidload the apk?

use gingerbreak to root and the launcher probably wont work, havnt seen anyone mention it anyway

No you cant sideload apps out of the box. You first need to root with gingerbreak method and then use the gladenable script to enable sideloading.

Congrats! Ateix is a great device. Easiest way to install Nonmarket apps is to go to Android store n purchase "Non Market apps Enabler" created by fellow member here. Only costs 1 dollar somethn. Enables the checkbox n options to enable non market app installs. Works instantly. No side loading n all that needed. Saves a ton of Time n hassle. I got it n was installing non market apps instantly with it!

If its a UK spec one, you can side load without doing anything... Otherwise rooting will be required

i used sideload wonder machine for the apks of gameloft games. works really well.

[Q] is there anyway to root without any use of pc?

Title says it all, any help would be nice thanks

If there was, it was probably disabled after the patch.

So far, all the methods require a computer. However, certain things could possibly be done to make a self-contained rooter.

Kindle questions

Is rooting really needed for the kf? I am not super computer suave, but I did root my X10a. What I really want to know is will I need to root to be happy with the kf?

If you want the android market you will want to root it. But with burrito root it's pretty easy.

Thanks
I was looking at some of the videos and I just get nervous about bricking it. I will give it a shot when I pick one up.

It's not "needed" but it totally turns into a full Android tablet, once you put CyanogenMod on it that is. It's great.
No need to be nervous. Just follow the guides that are in the Development section and with some patience, everything will go smooth.

I will try it out when I get it.
Who will unbrick it when things go wrong lol

Additionally, this Kindle Fire Utility by Vashypooh is SO awesome, it can practically do everything for you. Check it out.

If I don't get the CM7 rom will the OTA updates from Amazon kill my root access and Google Android Market?

I've heard just about ANY OTA updates kills root access. So if I were you I would totally not take anything from Amazon after rooting and putting CM on it.
Edit: if you don't put CM on it and stick to stock Fire, then to answer your question, yes it will probably kill root access. All depends on what the OTA consists of.

I am really just wanting the Google Android Market. Will the OTA updates kill the market along with root access? I couldn't find where it said that it killed the market also.

I am not so sure on that one, I'm sorry. I would think Stock Fire software wouldn't play nice with Android Market installed as well, I could be wrong, not sure.

Root for Play Store

Im rooting a friend's fire only for market. Can I just use the temporary root option in KFU so I can mount the system/app to install Play Store?

I used this ROM. I don't mind the stock UI, but wanted google market, so this works for me.

I don't want a new ROM, rather a temporary root method

I would reccomend using a tenporary root such as burrito root or zergrush. Go o youtube and there are many videos on rooting the kindle in such a way. I wouldnt trust kfu too much. Even software can make mistakes.

Does burrito root support stock 6.3?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

Idk about burritoroot 3... it could. Id check it out first. I know burrito root was used to root 6.2.2 as well, whether it was updated or not i do not know. Zerg works. There is a thread on xda as well.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using XDA

do a permanent root using 6.3 root method once you are done with root work just remove su binary from /system/bin/ and superuser.apk from /system/app
all done
i prefer OTA unrooter.
or just rename su to su2 or something else
this will make everything (every app) think that you don't have root.

For 6.2 I used burrito root, but after the update to 6.3 I used the KFU. After you have installed the Google Market or Play, you can use Voodoo OTA to unroot your KF and watch instant video on Amazon. Look for nat3mil on you tube. He shows how it's done.

Hear hear. Nat3mil is the kindle fire god of youtube.

Root question

Comrades, Just got myself a Nexus7 and rooted it as soon as I got home but titanium backup gives me an error message saying could not open and my device may not be properly rooted!! I used the root tool app.
Can I re root using the same steps without any damage ?
many thanks.:thumbup:

You need to unlock bootloader first before you can root.
Make sure to backup your data, it will be wiped when unlock the bootloader.

Do you really need titanium backup right now? if you just bought it and tried to root it as soon as you got home, you shouldnt have anything on your device of importance do you? lol

if you did get root, titanium needs a busybox installed for it to work. get the busybox app by stericson at the market. open the app, install busybox.

Yes, like most people I've spent a couple of days tweaking, downloading, transferring files and basicly using the tablet.
I did not sit will an empty tablet waiting to sort out the titanium problem. Thanks.
