KFU - Kindle Fire General

Since I can't post in the developer forum; I'd like to know if KFU is going to be kept updated? It seems like the swiss army knife of utilities and I'd hate to see it go. It was being updated frequently and suddenly stopped, so I was just curious.

not at the time but you can update it by yourself to work with burritoroot3

I see. I thought I saw mention of this in a previous post, so that isn't so bad as a workaround. Hopefully he'll have time to update it in the near future.
Thanks.

CyanogenMod Auto Updater for Nexus?

So I saw if you go to Cyanogenmods official website and to "screens" there is actually a auto updater for the CyanogenMod.. (this forum won't let me post the link to the screens)
Saw this when I was rooting the rom, and then saw that its out on the Android Market labeled as Cyanogen updater or something of that sort, but no support for the Nexus One?
Is this on the way? And if so..if you update the rom like this, does it delete your apps? (The Google apps AND the regular apps)
Should be QA Section (or at least General)

The updater is currently for the 4.X series of roms, and until it is able to make a distinction between which device is currently accessing it, I don't think the current 5.X series will be on there. Eventually for sure, just not this week or next...
As for your second question, NO you do not lose apps (google or otherwise) with an in place upgrade of Cyan's Roms

Ah so it can't even update to the latest stable version? Not that it matters much if it doesn't even work on the Nexus..
Works Fine...
The updater works fine. Cyanogenstated himself that it was taken care of before the roms even started into beta. if you download it it recognizestje 5.0.2 Rom clearly. just look at it uptop.
Edit... Okay so I'm not sure if it works pretty good in going from a older cyan to a newer one. I do know that it does show that it recognizes the latest Rom...

So the updater does work for the latest rom? You also make it sound like there's support to install this updater on the N1 when everything I have read so far points to no.

Yes, just like the other guy said. He's already said the framework was already in place for the updater to work with the 5.x series.
He has not yet released the updates via the updater for 5.x because he led me to believe he wanted to get incremental updates working first otherwise it'll have to download the entire ROM each time... which shouldn't be necessary and is a huge waste of bandwidth.
Whatever his reasoning is, he definitely told me he plans on releasing the updates via the currently released updater that's in the marked at some point.
Yeah, new updates will come via the updater. Need to restructure the files on my server first.
Once Cyanogenmod updater works with the Nexus will it be released on the Market? I would think it would make it alot easier to install that way.
You guys kinda skimped on answering if the updater will ever work on the N1, what is the answer on that?
Really? Cyanogen himself just answered your question. If simple english is too much for you to handle maybe you shouldn't be on the forums. Sorry.
Yes, the updater will eventually work for the nexus one. Bye bye now

I'm sorry but what he said was that the updates will come via the updater..that means the new versions will be supported by the updater. Jackass.

You're right, but if you read the post by me just above that, I explicitly say that it's "via the currently released updater that's in the market"

Yes I know that..but according to the information on it in the market, it won't run on the Nexus. Is this not true or something?
Edit: I just downloaded the updater from market, it seems to run on the n1, just the rom supposedly doesn't update.
You're a moron.
The app is there, its been there. It was meant for other cyanogen 4.xxx series roms, so NOT for nexus one.
What cyanogen is saying is that soon it (THE SAME APP) will support the nexus one as well.
There you go douchebag, learn to read

Thanks to djR3Zfor the Evo one click guide

Thanks for the guide, it was very helpful. I had been missing the all important step of update the hboot driver and the app was not giving me a good error message (just said it failed to install recovery image). I appreciate the step by step guide. I really much prefer manual rooting over the "click on some program which may do something I don't like" style! But it seemed to be the way to go for the Evo.
Thanks again...maybe some day I'll get above the 10 posts needed to actually post in a dev thread.
Lynne
Really, I've prior to this rooted mine and hubby's Heros, installed multiple custom ROMS, have the android SDK installed, have compiled and installed programs. I just don't get on the forums much, apparently...other than to read thru them occasionally.
I've even tried to answer people's problems, but that 10 post thing has kept me from doing so.
So, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen again!!!
sigh, it still won't let me post on the dev forum.
You're doing it wrong.
Also, that's why XDA has a "Thanks" button to prevent people from having to open threads / posting saying thanks.

dualboot and ubuntu on transformer [check this out!]

Hi all! i have question and a way to install ubuntu on TF
first of all can the transformer dual boot?
and then the sweet part!
no dev has managed to get ubuntu running natively on TF so heres a way to do it on top of a android OS as "chrooted" heres how to => http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-android/
I HAVE NOT TESTED IT! as my TF is in mail right now (should come on tuesday) but this has worked for many devices so it SHOULD work on TF too!
but then again im not responsible if your transformer transforms to a car that transforms to autobot or something like that
if this helped you remember that there is a thanx button

One click rooting method in less than 2 minutes

Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on lower versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device.

I checked out the site and it doesnt say compatible with Xperia PLAY or any SE phones for that matter. Plus I am already rooted and unlocked bootloader. The site looks a little questionable like maybe the software could be virus filled. I dont know though. Only way to find out would be to try it, and for that I have no reason to. IT show support for the Kindle Fire. Anyone try it?

It's put out by AnTuTu, the same people who do CPU Master. They have a link in the newest version of their app.
Probably uses exact same exploits as superoneclick

First of all that is not my site and i'm not a spammer. I only posted this method in two different forums,the other one is in the android general hacking tips. The only reason why i mentioned the site is because i'm having problems uploading the unlockroot.exe launcher in this thread. As you can see,i'm only a new member and i don't usually start threads. I'm just trying to help because i had a lot of frustrations using other rooting methods. I have a descent job and i'm not gonna benefit in spamming so don't accuse me. I just felt very excited to share this method as this worked like a charm for my xperia play. I'm not forcing you to try this so ban me if you feel like doing so.

I noticed that too but trust me,it worked for my xperia play and my wife's arc s. Both of them are running the latest android v2.3.4 that's why i'm very surprised that it worked. Other rooting methods didn't work for that version so i resorted to doomlord's method but i'm having problems installing the adb drivers as i'm using windows7. I'm so happy using this method because it's very safe,no need to unlock your bootloader. Best regards!

No, offense, but if you post directly to their home site, it makes it seem a lot more legit than just posting a link to your download account.

Sorry bro but i already did that when i started this thread. I just edited my post because that d31boy guy is accussing me of being a spammer and just promoting that site.
When I see a brand new poster posting a link to relatively unknown website for use of an unknown exe file, it's hard not to be suspicious. I mean, you obviously know the benefits of root and you know your way around this site. The site has absolutely no mention of how the root is applied (which isn't your fault provided you don't have an affiliation to the site ). It's a pretty big leap of faith.
However, I may have jumped in a bit too quick on this one. It would have been better just to report the post and allow a mod to make a more informed decision. For that, I apologise.
All this method is, is the zergRush method with a different name...
Here's what I did (quick run thought of what i did, attached screenshot for reference)
Downloaded it from the OP's post (http://unlockroot.com was running at 2000BYTES/SEC)
Installed it on my XP partition
rebooted, went to my linux partition
Mounted XP Partition
went to \Program Files\Unlockroot\tools\
Copied rootutility to /home/myusername/
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push rootutility /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootutility
adb shell /data/local/rootutility

[Q] Can the Ouya still be rooted

Hi
All the threads are old and have mixed results.
I picked up a Ouya at a thrift store for 15 bux. Would like to root but dont want to trash it. Is there a new method that works.
I powered it up and it took an update yesterday so its at the latest.
There's a search button for that reason. Just try it...

I'm not sure why non of the guides work for you. I used the root tool in ouyas own store the other day on an ouya my friend didn't want anymore and it worked fine.
---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Like a couple years ago when I rooted my first ouya I used fastboot and cwm. But I'm pretty sure there was an all in one ouya adb tool that would did everything you could possible need root cwm Roms backups I will have to take a look when I get home but I have the apk on a backup drive somewhere. I will try to find it for you.

Correct. I did it last night with a mix of Kingroot (older version, the new stops working at 18%) and the updated xposed and playstore zip file.
If anyone needs, and if it's allowed, I will post the files later.
I had my ouya rooted, collecting dust.. Then decided to flash an AOSP rom, and bricked it.. Looked and found this video,I achieve root, boot menu , cm11 with this video . http://youtu.be/fYwZ_l31-G8 , beware.. Strange sounds in the background ... ?
