check this out, i used it last night and it does work.
finally got it
had to do the manual root until i got the # prompt
run su
delete su and busybox
reboot
then reroot
the system thought it was still rooted.
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

Got the triangle screen and following instructions in guides are not fixing it. Heres my scenario. I got my kindle with 6.2 on it. Got it rooted, installed market and go launcher and was great. Then the update of course came thru and broke root. Still been able to download market apps and use go launcher. So I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417284
to regain root and install twrp. It says root is successful, but superuser force closes everytime trying to open or use it. I can open my tibu and root explorer and everything still gave me root access. Went and changed the MarketIntentProxy.apk to MarketIntentProxy.apk.bak so market links go to market by default. That worked. Noticed that all amazon apps downloaded have a default amazon icon. Thought nothing of it. Went to install twrp anyway. Stuck at triangle now. Followed all instructions to fix and the KFU keeps flashing error device not found constantly and boot status unknown. Not showing up in my devices but I can eject via the safely remove hardware program. What happened? Did everything as guide states and watched the videos as I was doing each step.
I downloaded Kingroot today, ran it & achieved ROOT. SUCESS! If I had only stopped their. I downloaded Rootchecker Pro & it said I had Root. Great. Then I uninstalled Kingroot & installed SU from the play store. SU tried to update the Binary & failed over & over, reboot, failed over & over. THEN I did some reading & realized you cant delete Kingroot. I figured I could just re-download & re-install it & get ROOT again. During the process Google Security popped up over & over & I accidentely clicked Enable. Kingroot said it was installed but at the end of the apk Process where it usually says "DONE" or "OPEN", Open is Grayed out I cant click it & Kingroot isnt installed. I cant get it to install now. Rootchecker now says Root is not Properly installed. I went in to Google Settings & turned off the App Security, I verified I have Allow Apps from Unknown Sources checked. I can NOT get Kingroot to re-install so I can have ROOT again. Any help will be much appreciated. Would a FDR allow me to re-download Kingroot & Install it? I dont want to FDR but I really dont want to do it if its not going to help me achieve ROOT. Thanks Jason T
I have the XT907 which was successfully rooted, so I presume(d). Last night I did nothing out of the ordinary. I plugged it in to charge, as it was almost dead. I woke up and took it off the charger, went out to smoke while coffee brewed, ran Clean Master app and it asked for SU permission (SuperSu). It didn't strike me as odd because I have it set so apps that update are required to ask for SU permission again. Only this time it wouldn't accept the permission I granted it. I tried again and it still wouldn't authorize (I was using the memory boost and I was trying to stop an app from auto starting when this happened). It told me to manually check the authorization in SuperSU. I did and it's listed there, all permissions granted. I ran RootCheck and it asked and was granted SU permission. I downloaded RootChecker just for a second opinion, and it too was granted SU permissions.
Before, during and after all of this, aside from the above mentioned Root checking app, I've downloaded one app onto my XT907: WiFi Password(Root). I needed the PW for my work's WiFi. It was denied SU permission. I've removed Clean Master from SuperSU, forced stopped Clean Master, rebooted Phone. Clean Master asks for permissions, is supposedly granted said permissions, but still won't accept them.
So two apps tell me I do NOT have Root on my phone, while two root checking apps say I DO have Root. I've not uninstalled or reinstalled anything or changed any settings as to get a further opinion on the matter. I rooted my device with KingRoot and uninstalled with SuperSU about a month or so ago. This is the first issue I've had. Any idea what gives? I'm a little stumped on this one.
It seems the issue is only with some apps. I've managed to fix the issue with Clean master by disabling SuperSU, re-enabling it then rebooting. Clean Master was granted permission and accepted it. So far I've not run into other issues. All root checking apps still say I have a proper root. If the issue continues, how about a reinstall of SuperSU? If I lost root, how would I regain it?
