Hey. I recently purchased a Kindle Fire and rooted it without a problem. I had problems installing the Android Market as every time I open it and I try to sign up , it force closes.
This morning I woke up to find that superuser had disappeared. I wasn't sure if this meant that it was just superuser gone , or if my kindle been unrooted.
I tried to reroot using SuperOneClick it but every time I try , it gets stuck on step 7 . I have a feeling that it was somehow unrooted as when I try to reroot it , it doesn't give me the 'already rooted' prompt.
So... the questions. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way I can get superuser back? Is there any way (without terminal , or rootchecker) to see if my kindle is rooted?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
I think there are too many other threads about this already. try using search our just look at the top 10 or so threads.
The SuperOneClick is not the current rooting method.
Ah , sorry about that. I'll search harder in the future.
I wonder if it's possible for superoneclick to amend this with an update.
Really... you should do some reading before trying something like that. It will keep you out of the I don't know what I'm doing camp...
A vast majority of the people asking for help, didn't bother reading through the whole process, or bothering to see what other users had problems with in the very threads that talked about how to do it. Just doing a little reading alone would solve most of their problems as they keep asking the same thing over and over and over...
did u have the 6.2 or 6.1 update on there and when u woke up it was the 6.2.1 update on there? that could bethe prob as 6.2.1 update breaks root and super one click doesnt work anymore

Attempted to root my device last night, followed all the instructions that were giving to me in the How to root thread. I opened Gingerbreak, no problems, I clicked root device, no problems, it said running exploit and just stayed on that screen for about 10-15 minutes without doing anything. What am I doing wrong? I followed all the steps given to me but im just not sure?
Get Iconia root.
Butt if you have.to ask this you might not want to root your device until you read the threads in the development section.
You could very well end up with a flat shiny brick
Good luck.Reading is power asking someone else to do your research is dangerous.
I've read through all the pages on the how to root your iconia tab, some people have had the same problem but said they just turn their system on and off and then it works, I did do that but with no success. I guess I shall just go back and have a bit more of a read of it.
Please Help Also
I have the same problem, and have had no luck finding the issue, if you fix your problem, please pass on the info.

Download iconiaroot, click to run, click on root botton and done....????
iconiaroot only for HC3.0/HC3.1
Ok, first of all I know there are a million threads about rooting, believe me, I've looked through all of them otherwise I wouldn't be here posting
Now, my problem is that I finally want to root my HTC-Hero to give the fella some new life. However, I have literally tried everything and nothing has worked so far.
I have tried:
Superoneclick
Androot
Z4
via command prompt (coupled with sdk)
Info about my phone:
firmware 2.1 - update 1
build number 3.36.405.1
so far there seems to be a consistent problem: su is found in the folder bin, superuser is placed as should in 'apps'. however, superuser doesn't show up in my app list (yes I've tried rebooting a million times) and via connectbot (terminal) it simply either denies access to su or does not seem to change $ to #. Furthermore, all programs (s.o.c. - androot & Z4root say 'you're rooted' .. however, this is not true).
I am seriously desperate at this point because I want to run cyanogenmod, find a nice theme and gain root access altogether to make my phone a bit snappier. All help is welcome (I'm willing to try anything at this point!).
Thanks in advance !!!
Ok. If either people can't or won't help.. can someone at least point me in the right direction ?? pretty please with lots of sugary **** on top
I think there was a big hoo-haa about HTC locking out root quite well on their 2.1 update. I've been rooted since 1.5 so I didn't pay too much attention, but I think you had to make a goldcard then downgrade to 1.5 in order to root the official 2.1. Its an older method, but as you said all the other methods didn't work, I guess that is your best bet.

Nope, I rooted with Androot from the Official 2.1 update. I used this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...de-Newbie-Guide-to-Install-VillainROM-amp-FaQ
He said he used androot with no success though, which is why I suggested goldcarding it.
Try this link same like the villain rom above , I would suggest you try the ADB way
its much more easier
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/1930-How-To-Root-The-2.1-RUU-or-OTA-Update-For-The-Hero
Gold Card is not required anymore.. there are more easier ways like through ADB if you do it properly
Hi guys thanks for the suggestions. I've tried them but still without luck so far. I guess I will indeed try the goldcard method sometime soon because I think I'm running out of other options.
It's quite weird to say the least though since UniAndroot does say 'woot! you're rooted' but SU doesn't show up and in terminal I still can't get superuser access.
sigh
Uninstall your superuser first,then open androot and root again.The androot will install a superuser in your phone,then you can run it normally.
I had same problem problem,hopefully it helps you
Sent from my Hero using XDA App
already did that quite a few times..unfortunately there was no luck for me to be found there now I'm seriously thinking of just getting a new phone haha
Playin w/ roms on my new Rezound... Anyways I noticed the wife's KF got updated to 6.2.2 and FFF/twrp got axed.. Came back lookin for an updated way to get it back quickly. From my last 30 mins or so of reading it would seem the KFU and burritoroot are like fragmented now or something. I tried KFU for twrp and it failed- then I saw there was a burritoroot v3 but it doesn't install a recovery. Just wondering if there's any automated way to get it all done again or if I'm gonna have to keep searchin for links to recoveries etc. If so, no biggie- but if there's an easy way to get twrp back obviously I'll go that route. If there's a thread on it- I must just be missing it- granted I've had a few tonight.
I rooted my 6.2.2 kindle with burritoroot3 and then used KFU to flash TWRP recovery. Make sure you have the updated run.bat found in the KFU thread before trying to flash TWRP
Yep- I found the post from stevenmirabito seconds after posting this damn thread and I've already got twrp back on.. Sorry for the wasted thread.. Still kinda wondering why BR3 hasn't been worked into a new version of KFU but I'm sure if I was really interested enough there's prob some threads on that too- hopefully no drama. Anyways- thanks BluesHawk for responding to my question.
One more thing- I'm assuming it's ok to remove the old burritoroot? Got two icons now
Once you got the burritoroot you may as well uninstall unless your sentimental :_
done and done!
Well- I didn't do perm root- so that I could keep the streaming vid working. I fig'd I'd keep it around though for temp root/unroot

Unnecessary... Just perm root it and be done with it.
Use OTA Rootkeeper and you will be able to view your Amazon Videos.
Oh ok cool- like I said I've been gone for a while.. Pretty sure last time I was active on these forums OTA RK was a no go for prime video.
It has been the only method that I've ever seen.
o Using OTA rootkeeper use Unroot
o Go to settings -> Applications
o find Amazon Video and force close it
Now run Amazon Video again and it will work. You can even go back and root using OTR Rootkeeper and it will still work until your reboot your device.
This works on the Stock roms... CM7 and ICS doesn't
Cool thx for the info.. Last time (6.2.1) I did perm root, installed market and other apps, FFF&twrp, then unrooted (had to manual delete su files on the device)- so OTA-RK sounds easier. Unfortunately, this is my wife's fire- so I don't get to have that much fun with it. She's way into the amazon ecosystem and likes the stock rom.. So unless ICS final just kicks complete ass- I'll prob have to buy my own to play w/ those roms.. Not even sure why I ended up putting twrp back on it really- I just can't help myself!

If on CM7, you can leave rooted, use the browser to view Amazon video if you set the user agent to Linux desktop, and that works.
I've gotten the OTA update from Google three times and each time my system remains at 4.1.2. I've tried to update it manually using these instructions exactly: http://genius-tips.com/how-to-update-nexus-7-to-android-4-2-1-jelly-bean-cleanrom-custom-firmware/ and still my system remains at 4.1.2. What do I do? I'm becoming extremely frustrated. It's almost hard to type this out because I want to shove my fist through something.
EDIT: I'm also rooted. Should I unroot for the update? What happened to convenience if that's the issue? Serious first world problems right now.
EDIT EDIT: I just got the OTA update popup for 4.2 but I'll save it for later. Should I unroot? Or perhaps there's an app for this...

Haha! I love the attempt to calm me down. I took a walk with my GNex to hit up some Ingress portals so I'm okay now.
1. I rooted it on my W7 PC
2. .....yes? I assume.
3. Yes.
4. Wug's toolkit to root
5. It's the 16gb N7. My phone is VZW GNex *rage fist at Verizon*
A friend of mine suggested I try Voodoo OTA RootKeeper
I ended up trying OTA RootKeeper and it did allow me to install the update and so far it's working great. Thanks for the attempt!
P.S.: Sorry for being crazy in OP. I'm new to rooting, modding, etc. so I'm sure I could've solved this on my own with a bit more time but when it comes to messing with systems and just generally being a n00b, I get more upset at my own lack of knowledge. Time heals all wounds...
I thought that I could survive without registering, but the day did come. I have rooted successfully several phones but have not fiddled with Samsung before and was not so familiar with the models. I checked the phone model too busy and remembered wrong it to be i9505. Too bad i noticed the mistake after using the motochopper, when trying to find correct CWM. It was an i9506. The phone is working fine, but the su requires updating. I used root checker and not surprisingly "not rooted". After noticing my mistake I would not want to do anything before getting some advice. I have a linux and using of the odin is not possible, at least without visiting some of my friends. Too bad I could not find any help without posting. Can you please suggest how to proceed to prevent bricking and even eventually rooting the phone? If I manage to get access to windows, how hazardous is it to proceed from the beginning with the guides for i9506, after failing the rooting? What excatly is there going on at the moment, when super su is installed but does not have root?
Take a look this thread: HERE
Thanks for your reply! I checked the thread all way through. I think that the only solution is to try the basic method of the first post and see what happens. I should have done that in the first place. Luckily the phone has 4.2.2. without knox. I hope that the previous rooting attempt does not interfere somehow. I will visit my friend some day and report the result here.
I promised to report how things sorted out. Everything went smoothly with rooting as I followed the guide here , not a single issue. Although it would probably have worked with heimdall as well, I did not want risk anything and used windows computer of my friend. Thanks for Joku1981! Keep up the good work! Over and out.
