I have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper installed & had done a temp unroot, so I could access Amazon prime content, but now I can't get it to restore the root. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? And it does say "root su restored" after I push the "restore root" button, but even after 2 device restarts, I'm still unrooted. NEED to get on the regular market!
Could it be because it update the os to 6.2? I don't recall what it was before & it never ASKED me to update it, but idk

I doubt it, it's working fine for me and many others on 6.2.
If you used it to unroot before 6.2, then when 6.2 silently upgraded, it would have undone the rooting and killed your OTA rooting.
6.2 didn't ask anyone. if you had wifi connected, it would download without messages. and at some point it would have rebooted, like for me. Or others said once they turned it off it went ahead and did it.
super one click will reroot it in less than a minute and you should be good until next time they do this.

Thanks! I'd bet that's what happened. It's almost always connected to wifi & I've had it rooted for a couple of weeks. Thanks. Back to super one click....
Ok, so I rerooted, but all of my google services are broken still. Reinstalled the apks, but it refuses to install the googleframework.apk. It's on there, asks me about permissions & then says it won't install. I'm clearly missing a step or something.
wierd issue
When I try to reroot my KF after the 6.2 update it roots the device then attempts to reboot into root... and that is when it fails... it just sits on the kindle fire screen flashing like it is rebooting I let it sit for a few minutes and never fineness, however if I hold down the power it will shutdown and I can start it back up but only half way rooted ... and never finished installing superuser or busybody... any ideas?
Not sure about those issues. Different people reported different problems.
Seems not everyone used the same methods. for me googleframework and market worked perfectly fine afterwards, i didnt need to do anything else.
Once my KF updated to 6.2, I could not restore root through OTA Rootkeeper either. Connected it to my computer, ran SuperOneClick, root was restored and backed up my root once again. I think I needed to reset once to ensure that all of my sideloaded apks still worked.
Well I got it figured out I just did a factory reset and reapplied root and now it is working thanks guys

My kindle was running great till the update, but now its sort of messed up. I keep getting random application has stopped errors about the market. I just rooted again, but i can't even get my root explorer or ES file explorer to work at all. ES file explorer worked before but now it just says the root feature is not compatible with my phone or some crap. Any ideas?
There are other articles about this with fixes in them.
Well... i cant seem to get it to work. Any help?
When I updated my kindle to 6.2 I used the ota rootkeper to temporarily unroot the kindle then updated it to 6.2 once updated I used ota again to reroot then I rerooted the fire with a compete root with onceclick and reinstalled marketplace I now have no errors or problems.
update question - what all did the update impact?

So OTA Rootkeeper wasn't sufficient to keep root through the update?
Did the marketplace get lost through the update?
What about other installed applications?
There is a whole thread on this when the original 6.2 update went out.

I just wanted to share with you that i just successfully rooted my shield with Kingroot
It is just install apk, touch root and wait.
It rebooted my tlet thefirst try,but worked the second one! No wipe, no flash, no data loss
It worked with my galaxy mini s5 too...
It worked!!!! By the God's!!!! On ota 2.2.1!!! I don't have access to a PC and when I got to one it was xp and didn't work on adb, after a catastrophic recovery fail. I got lucky and got a full ota to flash in nvidias stock recovery but ended up with no root. I thought I was gonna be stuck for a month until family visited with a laptop.... This worked enough to use flashify !!! Thanks for the heads up
Worked for me too.
First three times the operation was unsucessful and the tablet rebooted itself, but then I remember to activate USB depuration and that was it! Rooted at Last.
Anyone have a link to the APK?
There is a post in xda general:

Yes, I would also like to know if this will root 5.1. Would also like to unlock the boot loader.
Yes, OTA 3.0 rooted using kingroot, y just installed it to try and viola.
Confirmed on ota 3
I installed it and it locks up around 22% then reboots comes back with a fail. Tried a couple times and my shield tablet on 5.1 will NOT root! Grrr!! It is Kingroot 4.1.

Did you activate USB debug in development options?
Yes, USB debugging was on. It rebooted and I kept trying. After I don't know how many times it finally worked! Lol. Never changed anything. It's rooted now and TWRP is up and running with super su beta installed.

Worked for me with the 4.0 version. 4.1 didn't.
I tried 4.1 and 4.0.5 and both failed at ~20% (tablet reboots). After many attempts I tried it with KingRoot PC and it failed also.
(I have the SHIELD Tablet WiFi version with 5.1 (OTA 3.0) installed.
Do I need to wait for a better root method or is there another way for 5.1?

I had the same problem with KingRoot 4.1 on the Shield Tablet 5.1 and I made sure no Anti-Virus was running and tried it MANY times with a lot of reboots. I would clean the cache and data and stop the app in between fails. I just kept trying and then one time it worked. Not sure why it takes awhile other than it hooks to the server and looks for a way to root the tablet. I finally got mine rooted and TWRP installed and now have Super SU installed. Used root uninstaller to remove KingUser.
Thank you for the info. in this thread. My tablet didnt want to root but after some tries it worked.
4.1 doesn't work any more. 4.0 still does, on ota 3 as well (tested myself on wifi model)
I can confirm - it just works. NO DATA LOSS!!! F... YEAH!

Will KingRoot only root my device or will it also flash custom recovery? Thanks for answer.
have any1 tried to replace KingUser with SuperSU, as in the post it says:
5. Install SuperSu to replace KingUser may be cause some unknown error, although you do can do this.
But i want to know if any1 have tried this...
Thanks.
Ive just rebooted my fire tablet after installing some minecraft mods, when I turnt it back on it came up with a promt saying it was installing the latest software or what ever it does when doing the ota, I knew this from upgrading to 5.0.1.
is it possible it was just doing what happens when normal android optimises apps on boot. is there a app to check the installed software version as im not near my pc to unhide and go in and check what firmware im on. I put this in general as it wasnt a question but just to inform that my tablet possibly had a update despite the proper steps taken to hide the ota and updates.
Saw Same Message But No Update (whew)!
For a split second I saw that same message too when first starting the Fire up. But nothing happened and nothing updated. So I think it's still blocked. Even checking for updates still fails.
So I think we're OK!

Have you tried unhiding to see the software version
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I didn't unhide it, but it says I'm still on 5.0.1. There was no update.
I saw the same thing but it didn't seem to update. I know the method i provided works for 5.0.0 to 5.0.1. Until there is a bump to 5.0.2 or whatever we don't know for sure if the "fix" works under 5.0.1.
Same thing happened to me but it was 3 days ago. I had been trying all day to install my adb drivers without success and switched off the device. When I restarted it immediately went into an update and I went into a panic that the new update would block the ability to access google play but immediately after the assumed "update" I successfully installed the adb drivers and google play without problem. I also checked the version and it still showed 5.0.1 so I wondered if my initial update on switching on the fire for the 1st time had somehow been unsuccessful and that had been what had been causing the inability to load the adb drivers although the tablet hadn't seemed to have any other problems and I had already downloaded and used several apps from Amazon.
I let it update upon first booting my Fire to 5.0.1. I was still successful in installing Google Playstore and hiding ads on lockscreen.
I'm not sure but i think that 'installing the latest software' screen is the android OS updating the dalvik runtime files after rebooting when an apk is modified. nothing to do with an ota.

That is my conclusion also.
I had this happen to me also. Considering amazon patched a root method I made sure to root and nuke any chance of a future OTA unless I wanted it too. That was a cheap move, Amazon.
So some backstory, I just tried installing xposed framework earlier in the day. Got an error about app_process64 or whatever so I looked it up and posts said to delete it so I tried. X-plore file app wouldn't delete it and I tried to download es file manager whatever but it wouldn't download from the play store. So I rebooted my fire and it's stuck on the fire logo now. Factory reset it but it not work. I've researched the crap out of this and from what I can see, since adb can't find my device my only option is the update from adb option from recovery mode since I did get that to see my fire.
So with all this buzz about how downgrading will brick my device I'm unsure what version to use. I don't know what version my fire is but it should be the latest I imagine since I just got the thing last week and it downloaded updates when I started it up the first time.
Any help would be much appreciated cause I'm all confused. I looked at https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-fire-hd-10-7th-gen-2017-root-box-t3726443 and it lists firmware up to 5.6.3.0 but the update at the top says we're now on 5.6.3.4? So where do I find that at?
Update: K nevermind I got it. I took a chance and went to that page I listed and sideloaded the 5.6.3.0 suez file. Rebooted and fire booted up like new. Go me!
