Hey guys,
I was previously on a rooted 6.2.1 and have since updated it to 6.2.2
However, as I am trying to re-root it, the adb doesn't seem to be able to recognise my device anymore. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Yes.... your drivers are not up to date.
Look at one of the many existing threads for your answer. There more than enough of them already.
The new update 6.2.2 has un-root you KF. The old procedure will not work to root your KF. There are two options for you:
1- go back yo 6.2.1 if you have recovery software with backup for old ROM image.
2- OR use a new root method for 6.2.2 following the thread I development section.

I am trying to root my kindle an am having trouble. I've tried the version on rootfire.com an the burrito3 version also with no luck. Every time I try adb root it says out of date then starts dameon then says adbd cannot root on production build or something like that. I am lost. Can someone e shed a little light on this. I updated ask an rebooted an all that

Try using KindleFireUtility. You can root via BurritoRoot through the utility and also load the newest TWRP recovery, load gapps/market, and many other functions through the command prompt. Read through the thread before using as updating to 6.2.2 might have changed some of the steps. I rooted manually with BurritoRoot3 and installed KFU to install the TWRP recovery tool
Thanks ill give it a shot an let u know how it goes

ok i got the kfu to root my fire. But now when i try to install twrp recovery it goes through till it says device has been told to fastboot waiting on device. Then nothing happens. my kindle dosnt do nothing. It just stays on.
Did you try rebooting it by hand when at that state?
yes i did. Still no go. Im not sure why it wont fastboot. Its permantly rooted so it should do it.
patched kfu for br3 ?

Hi
Just got the N7 and am looking to root. I see on the dev forum there are quite a few root methods available.
I guess my question is which is the easiest? I'm just looking for root, not worried about CWM or anything like that (just want to root so I can run programs like Titanium Backup).
Thanks in advance.

I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
Well I tried. It would not root, it would just say "waiting for adb to be enabled." This was after I unlocked bootloader, and installed cwm.
So I had to download a flashable zip for superuser, booted into cwm and flashed superuser, then I had root.
But apparently, the tool works for root for most other people, so I would think it will most likely work.
Thanks for that.

I just pushed the new 4.2 update via adb,
I then tried re-rooting as I lost root in the project.
I used WugFreshs at first, which said successful. I tried root check and titanium backup which both said no root access.
I then tried mikes toolkit and chose root and install busybox, all that wen through great and said successful, so I retried Tibackup and rootchecker again, both were denied root access.
This time round, rootcheck said "System Running Slow" whilst checking for root access.
What should I do?
Re-boot into recovery and clear cache etc?
Factory reset?
Both?
For some reason superuser is installed not supersu if that makes a difference?
Any help appreciated.

I apply the update by doing fresh install:
-always backup your data
Then I use wug's nexus root toolkit:
-flash stock + unroot 4.1.2 jzo54k
-flash zip stock + unroot 4.2 jop40c
-change the model type to "NAKASI: Android *.*.* Any build"
-apply root

I applied the update over the top of 4.1.2, wiped cache and then restarted.
I then used Wug's toolkit to root, which didn't work.
So I tried Mikes, which also didnt work.
Both report the Root as being succesful, but they arent.
If I change the model to all types on Wug's, would that make a difference?
Is it worth trying a manual root?
I use the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit which was great in fixing the problems after upgrade. Flashing the previous version bootloader (I think that is what it was) solved the root problem. The hints and guidance in this application are great and have always solved my problems. No offence meant to Wug here, I just find the other application suits me better.

As already said, both Toolkits have been attempted and both report that its rooted, but my device tells me otherwize, as do Titanium Backup.
Can someone just give me a step by step for what I should do to gain Root again?!

Hi, are you using the fully updated version of Toolkit (updated to include the 4.2 stuff. When I did mine I was told to go ahead but if it didn't work the next step was to flash the 4.1 bootloader? as it was compatible with 4.2
The root with the 4.2 bootloader didn't give me root so I flashed the 4.1 bootloader and rooted again. This was successful for me. The Toolkit application gives you step by step instructions as you request as long as it is updated to do 4.2 and follow the advice you should have no problem.
I don't think you can do the full updates in the application unless you are a donater. If I remember correctly you cannot update the application unless you use the donater version. The update for 4.2 came out at almost the same time as 4.2 was being pushed to devices.
You sound cluey enough to know you must use USB debugging but many users don't realise this or the tapping on the build trick to get the developer options available so you can select USB debugging.

Hey mate, thanks for your reply !
I downloaded both ToolKits yesterday, so I'm guessing they are the newly updated ones?
Yes my tablet has usb debugging enabled, and is put into the Camera Mode.
I will have another go tonight, and try a different way, including using the "All Models" choice you mentioned.
If this doens't work, whereabouts in the ToolKit(Wug's) if the option to downgrade HBOOT in order to try the Root method you attempted which was successful.
Again, thanks mate !

I don't use Rug's Toolkit but Mike's Toolkit (only because it is easier to follow and use because it tells you what to do at all stages). You can see if it is updated by checking whether it has functions for 4.2 - I always use it for flashing the latest roms as well as the unlocking, root, recovery, etc, all of which the Toolkit guides you through. It even downloads the roms for you.
My only question is why did you put it in camera mode, change it back.

Just install the 4.2 that is already Stock rooted, de-odexed apps.
Install the ROM as already Stock rooted, de-odexed apps.

I upgraded to 4.2.2 and it seems I have lost my Root Access. I has SuperSU Pro with OTA Survival mode on installed as a system app before the upgrade but it seems it did not keep Root access. I used Root Checker and it's telling me I am not rooted. I am still seeing the unlock Icon at boot so I assume my boot loader is still unlocked.
Is there an easy way to get my Root access back?
Thanks.
Hey I had the same happen to me, ended up having to fastboot flash recovery to get twrp back and then downloaded the supersu recovery bootable zip and flashed supersu back. Don't forget to update your SDK tools with SDK manager before you flash twrp because 4.2.2 has this added security prompt thing when you connect your tablet it will appear offline in cmd, when you update sdktools and enter adb devices in cmd it will appear offline, check your tablet it will ask you to allow adb. Hope this helps.
Before trying all this maybe try installing busy box, I dunno I'm a bit of a noob

Thanks for your reply. I will try to follow the steps you outlined however, most of what you said is new to me. I initially rooted my device with the Nexus 7 Toolkit so it was a fairly simple procedure. I have never used the SDK or twrp are there any tutorials on how these work on 4.2.2? Also they will probably update Nexus 7 toolkit to support 4.2.2 eventually, so if I can't figure out the steps indicated I may have to wait.
Another noob question: After the update I can still open busybox and SupeSU, how come these apps still run if I am no longer rooted?

hey man yeh i didnt get how i still had supersu but i definitely wasnt rooted. its all a bit complicated aye, basically you need to download the andriod sdk bundle [now called adt bundle] for whatever you have eg. windows 7 32/64, and the jdk java development kit, look for guides on these, there two youtubers who have helpful channels: driodmodderx and wwjoshdew. also search threads here. you want your device to be recognized by the comp, sdk and jdk do this. twrp is a custom recovery that you can use to flash roms zips etc, you use your comp to send this custom recovery to your device. i would have stayed on 4.2.1 because i dont think you can use custom roms on 4.2.2 bootloader, still 4.2.2 is very smooth, i like it.

Boy did your post make me happy! I had the exact same problem. Managed to install 4.2.2 with modified OTA update (original was failing due to some discrepency in GoogleCalendar.apk) but even though I had SuperSU in survival mode, I lost my root. I've been trying all afternoon to connect via adb to my Nexus and just couldn't - it was always offline.. I tried 3 different computers and my SGNII phone (which worked) but N7 just wouldn't stop being offline...
I hope this is the solution! Thanx a BUNCH!
One question - my bootloader is unlocked telling by the icon on boot "google" screen - will I lose my apps and data after "re-rooting" that is, after flashing custom recovery and SuperSU?
THANX!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you won't lose anything by flashing recovery or su
I just checked the Nexus Root Toolkit site and he says he'll have a new version out very soon that will root 4.2.2 so sit tight, we'll soon be able to root again Just fire up the program from time to time and it should automatically update when it's ready.

And if you can't wait, the workaround is there on http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ under IMPORTANT NOTICE.
I know many of you must be tired of reading that noobs like me get stuck in such a simple process... But I've tried everything I can, so now it's my turn to ask for help.
I've updated via OTA to lollipop, but I'm tired of such lagginess, so I wanted to flash some other ROM. I've used the toolkit to unlock bootloader, which worked flawlessly, but I cannot get it to root. I don't get any error or anything, the device resets, it says the process was successful, but I don't get SuperSU and the apps to check root say I don't have the permission. I've tried some other methods, but I failed as well.
What the hell can I do to root, flash a recovery and flash this ROM? I've always done it with my other devices, but I can't manage to do it with my N7 even though it should be the easiest one as it has so much development!
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Sorry for my noobness
Take a look at this thread:
Lollipop Update
You don't need anything installed on the sdcard, but you need to be able to fastboot flash files from your pc. I used this process and successfully got Lollipop with SuperSU and root.
