6.2.1 User Unrooted Needed (Finished Root Done!) - Kindle Fire General

Thanks all, got all the help we needed.
With the help of Jcase of TeamAndIRC, I spent a good bit of the night bothering / learning from him and he was able to beat 6.2.1. He will be releasing it tomorrow morning over at Rootzwiki.
Once posted, I will have a new KFU ready to flash TWRP, and allow users to flash the rooted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402440
Please take the time to thank him when it is posted, and make a few donations after you check it out and get your fire back to root Let's get him his own fire to break haha.

So those with 6.2.1 will be able to root their devices?

Yep.

Awesome. I was going to install CM7 but fell asleep and when I had turned on my KF the following morning I had received the update.
Much thanks for this.

Whew was beginning to sweat it, actually was about to order a factory cable.
Guess I will need to be a lot more careful after I get root back

Thanks for your job, i will be pleased to donate.

Great news given that even pre-rooted 6.2.1 are being updated to stock 6.2.1

Nice! Will be waiting for this!

Is it very complicated to do? The new root?

No, it is not. You launch an app on the kindle fire, and you can launch this:

Jcase's root you will need to setup root yourself. I will add that tomorrow morning to my TWRP installer, but at the moment I am exhausted and need sleep.
So it may be a bit harder, only in that it doesn't install permanent root, just temporary to get ADB into root to flash TWRP.

I'll answer here because I can't reply in development forum:
The link in the TWRP Installer post downloads a file without extension ("TWRP_Installer_v1"), it has to be renamed to .zip ("TWRP_Installer_v1.zip")
Great job anyway

Most probably it will break after another update, so you'd take care about disabling updates or installing CM.

Since no current technique seems to be safe from Amazon's OTA update, my guess is you would have to install CM7 at this point if you want to be truly safe. On the other hand, you could assume that the next update won't be for a while, and move ahead with the 6.2.1 and maybe order a factory cable to be ready for the next update.

Great work! I guess this comes as a quite nice christmas present for some people tomorrow!

Well that quote is for the EVO, not the shift. And the date of the twitter post that they added the EVO Shift support was after that post.
Development on fre3vo has been discontinued, according to the thread in the Evo 3D dev section. I think the S-OFF tool will be coming from AlphaRevX, at least for the Sensation and the Evo 3D. Not sure what this will mean for the Evo Shift. Our bootloader is emmc based, like the Evo 3D, and is numerically lower, so the same S-OFF exploit could work for the shift *crosses fingers for those that lost root, or received replacement phones with 2.3.3*

Can you tell me how you rooted yours? I tried every app out there and so far I had to factory reset over 5 times in two days. Visionary, fre3vo, z4root, revoked3... None of them worked on my evo shift with ota update . I'm tired man. Anybody can sugest something that may work. I don't mind rolling my sleeves up and having some fun with adb and cmd. I just need my speedy rooted. Thanks in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated.

There is currently no known way to root a Shift with the latest OTA update.
Pretty much all we can do is watch these forums and hope somebody figures out how to do it.
I was searching around their sites over at fre3vo and found this post I am just thinking maybe us shift owners can find the right exploit address for fre3vo to work for us I am going to try and give it a shot today. Agrabren said if someone finds the right address then they will add it to future builds.
Not sure if this helps but I hope so I'm sick of not having root on my phone.
I can't post the link but go to op and go to their homepage and go to the how to section and you will find the post for using fre3vo for ten root on unsupported devices.

Hi
I'm on 2.3.5 so this method to root should work.
But will this root prevent me from getting future official updates using KIES?

You can push anything to /data as it's user writable. This is the mount used to install application.
The zergRush binary in /data/local/tmp is the actual binary which uses an exploit probably in the kernel to get root priviledges and then pushes su/busybox binaries.
There were many such attacks for 2.2/2.3 psneuter/rage against the cage etc earlier but they didn't work on SGS2 as the security flaw was fixed. This is a new flaw found by some brilliant dev.

Most probably it won't. But if you get official KIES update you will be unrooted again and there is a high chance Samsung will fix this flaw and you won't be able to root with this method and have to go with Insecure kernel method.

OUYA app works and asking for superuser

The other day I installed the MO0205-TS update (THREAD LINK). Everything went fine and afterwards I used the towel root to restore root access. Earlier today I loaded up the new ouya app to see if it was working, and its up and running. The weird thing is that it asked for root, I decided to deny it until I figure out why and to see if it would work without it. I will be honest, I am not sure how the ouya guys feel about users having root. I would really like an explanation for this.
It installed everything and I was able to setup an account and access some games with no problems. The way it works I would compare it to the amazon app store + a launcher. All the Ouya games I downloaded show up in the normal launcher and run no problems so far. When I look through the release notes, it indcates to me that not every ouya game can be installed to the mojo.

Initially I had root before the latest update. After the update I lost root, however I still had the supersu app installed. What I did was i installed towel root v1. Now google services will try to prevent the side load by saying something like "This app is not safe, It will compromise security" or "its not secure, don't do it". Just tell it to install anyways. Load up the towel root app and follow the instructions. It will automatically reboot the mojo and then it will be done.
I had root and superSU too.
Could you give me a Towelroot V1 link? Because V3 doesn´t work.

You're right. My mojo doesn't have any personal data on it though, and I did sniff around the site before pulling it down. I am a noobie though and new here so I should have been a little more careful about what I posted. I'll be watching my device extra hard now to see if it does anything funny.
Any reason Ouya asks for Superuser? I've blocked it, and didn't plan to use it anyway.

I hope this brings battery improvements. Getting an average of 2hrs 45min SOT no matter what I do. Worse than lollipop.
Is this the last official update? Or maybe we get 7.1.1?

Not mentioned. But hopefully.
Let's see what the users who have updated has to say.
Nothing on the ROM downloads page yet, should be at this link once it's up if the URL scheme is the same: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.14.617.6.exe

If anyone can use ADB to capture the OTA URL, we would really appreciate it! It should look something like this old link: http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_HIMA_UL_L....32.617.30_release_439080bgi83v6gaebkl3on.zip

I don't have the correct SKU and don't have the time for flashing the needed firmware. However, if you need an alternative to ADB: Method 1 from this post can be used with the M9, too.

I just completed updating. It is 99% sense 8. The only difference I'm seeing is that the quick setting shade retains the same shade of grey.
Good news: navbar icons are aosp-like now, double tap to quick switch between apps work, multiwindow works and you can change the dpi in settings like in aosp nougat. Also, the default theme closely resembles the htc10's (same wallpaper?).
So I've got a ViperOneM9 5.3.0 rom and I can't get the OTA...can I flash it manually?
How?
finish

So in that case ,you don't have to go back to stock?
I'm rooted but S-On... does that affect the process?
Should I turn S-Off first?
( too many questions I know?... not noob tho...just new to HTC dev)
How do u change the DPI for muktiwindoe? I see no option in settings
