I have root. I'm on version 13.3.1.0 on my 7" HDX. If you follow the tutorial it should work. (It did for me) What version are you running?
Says 13.3.0.2_user_302075320. Installed on Monday Jul, 29th, 2013 5:01 PM
Just got the tablet today and have not updated anything at all. My tablet cant check for updates since before I turned it on I blacklisted the IP addresses from my router that Amazon uses to push updates to Kindles
Hurry, update to 13.3.1.0 before a newer update comes (or download the update here and for directions to manually install the update). Don't blacklist those IP's until you root it. Update first.
Once you get root you can configure iptables on the tablet to blacklist it but im testing this. I got root 2 hours ago. Once I get it working I'll post a tut.
But you need to be on version 13.3.1.0
Alright I am downloading it now on the tablet, but it seems to be taking a while so I doubt I will get a chance to try for root again tonight.

That's fine. It's a over 700mb. I will be downloading it too, for a backup if Amazon decides to take it down. Good luck!

1: Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it. here
2: Get the adb drivers and install. here
3: Download latest Busybox to your HDX and install it. (It will not run untill you have root, this is for later.)(I got it from 1mobile market here)
4: Download jcase/fi01 code here
5: Download Moronig redone code http://goo.gl/4gBmq5
6: Enable adb on the Kindle
7: Connect Kindle to computer
8: Goto Device Manager in Control Panel
9: Look for the unsupported adb device (if not found safely remove hardware the kindle on the taskbar)
10: Click the unsupported device and click update driver then point it to the android_winusb file in the driver install directory
11: Unpack the files, rename Moroning's file to exploit and copy to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot install base directory, copy jcase's code EXCEPT the exploit file there as well.
12: Run Minimal ADB and Fastboot, make sure your device is connect first
Code:
adb devices
If not listed go back to step 6
13: Copy and paste this into the cmd prompt. Ignore if it says it fails
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push exploit /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/exploit
adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"
At this point you should be rooted. You can now finish installing Busybox on your HDX. To check if you have root if your unsure type
Code:
adb shell
then type
Code:
su
If not, reply. Remember this is tested to work on my Kindle Fire HDX 7" 13.3.1.0
Notes:
If the Hdx is updated past this point Amazon may patch the exploit and so you loose root.
We need to start a thread on how to stop/block Amazon from pushing updates to the HDX.

Do we need a Superuser app installed after root is gained like SuperSu. Also is it possible to unroot using SuperSu script in the settings.

If you don't install a superuser app, root will still work, but any app that requests it, gets it, and no notification.
Supersu works with that binary, but you can install superuser and let it update the su binary and it will work as well.

Questions about Amazon updates
Has anyone tried to see if you can block the OTA updates like the kindle fire hd.
Using ES File Explorer app, navigate to the /system/etc/security folder. Rename or move the otacerts.zip file.

I'll try it out.
-UPDATE- I can't confirm if it works or not. Someone else needs to try this up to see if it stops updates.
I'm running iptables.
This worked for me once I updated to 13.3.1. Guess the bug is either not present in the older kernel or it is at a different memory address.

Yah. I think that's what lead someone to port the 8.9" 14.3.1 hdx exploit to 7" 13.3.1

I don't think it'll be easy to find roms for that model, since it's far from being common worldwide, and the roms for the i9500 probably won't work on it (who knows though).
I hope I'm wrong though.
Your best bet will probably be to check chinese forums for roms working on that device, I guess you can set them in english too.
EDIT : I did find this thread, but I think it's a stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251357 .
The problem seems to be that you can't root it yet, and you can't install any Google apps (including Google Play).
Root is here: http://bbs.25pp.com/thread-129613-1-1.html

You're the man. Really looking forward to use this method when my SGS4 I9502 arrives.
rooted my i9502 and installed play store and when i opened the play store it closed it right away!!!!!
is there a mothed to install the play store?!!!!
by the way theres no error's when closing the play store its like theres a program that shut it down.
This is because China doesn't have an agreement with google to allow google apps. You will have to make the device think it is something else. You may lose dual sim in doing so.

I had the seame problem, in a nutshell :
Google for GoogleLoginService.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk
With adb you can install the 2 files if your device is rooted
adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push GoogleLoginService.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/ GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Now the play store should work

adb comes with the android sdk, is a bit much to explain, but there are many howto's written already
One of them : http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Or a shorter way, your chinese phone is probably a clone with mtk chipset, you can install mtkdroidtools, adb is included. Don't forget the mtk 65XX (probably mtk6577) drivers

Hi r_theboss
You really succeeded ?
Could you do me and the forum a favour?
Can you discripe First how you rooted (step by step ala cookingbook) ? The Chinese page through the Translationen is me too insecure.
And the Second step you made via adb is easy doing or do i have to be professional ? Some hints would be helpfull too !
Thanks and hoping that you reply,
Goes like hell
Still there's some force close but i'm going to put the steps right here so we could all work on it
first you must do root for your device and these are the steps from the same http://bbs.25pp.com/thread-129613-1-1.html website and you do it on your own responsibility!

Do as shown in the picture,
Click start to start rooting phone and it will automatically restart, now you got ROOT access
This is for the root part
Now download this file and put it in you device
http://www.mediafire.com/?enbo8wix7114i36
******** You will get some force close for this part i think because these files for Nexus and there's some duplicate in some app's like Gallery and Camera and Email and if you restarted you device it keep on upgrading the App's don't know why but it work just fine ********
After that get in the recovery mode: shut down your device and press phone volume up + home + power button for 5 sec and then let go
you will enter the recovery mode
Go to "install zip from sdcard"
then "choose zip from sdcard" now choose the file that you have downloaded it in your device
go back and reboot your device
and thats what i have done.
"do it on your own responsibility!" Thats for sure !!!
But let me first say thanks for your doing !! :fingers-crossed:
I am longing for my 9502 but it will come earliest at the end of june.
Maybe we can before that discuss whats the Reading for the "Force close". Here are a lot of specialists on the run.
Somebody else an idea for r_theboss and me ?
"i think because these files for Nexus and......", but are the gapps Not belonging to jellybean-Versions instead of hardware(Nexus,Samsung,etc ?
Thanks for the Forum, thanks for r_theboss

the issue is when we use this method supersu complains "SuperSU is not installed and cannot be installed. There is a problem." We can boot into CMW... but after rooting this method we cannot install or run apks...
r_theboss
can you run supersu?
Dear all,
I would suggest not to try the above method as I beleive it is either a fake or a half baked method. I went to the Chinese forums and there are others with the same problem with no solution. I would say this is a broken method. I tried to use the CMW recovery to flash the latest SuperSUv1.25 and SuperSU does not install and the apk also is deleted.
I would wait for a method from xda developers...

what i have done isn't fake and you could try it for your self, and the Play Store, Gmail, Gallery, Camera, Email for the Nexus all work just fine.
now i'm having problem with the storage its all most full don't know why but still working on it, and i have tried the root explorer to delete some apps but no luck for it to work.
and about the SuperSU it didn't work even after the root and i have tried many method's but none work, i think the rooting files are not complete or some thing is missing because the CWM is working just fine but the SuperSU is not.
Hi r_theboss,
I'm not saying your method is fake, I am saying the Chinese page one maybe. I have also followed that method and installed GAPPs and it crashes and freezes consistently and is virtually not usable as a phone. I just don't want others to think this is a viable method at the moment. Alsoo everytime on reboot it says android is optimizing X apps
Also I have downloaded a root checker for my phone and the results are just freezing and constant crashing when I run it. I don't think it is rooted.

Hello mate. I got my Blade V from the virgin shop. I am already a virgin media customer so I got the phone for £81.99 and they gave me a free PAYG sim card and £10 top up. I will sell the top up for 7 pound so I get the phone for £75 which is a damn good price.
Very impressed with the phone. It is not as sleek as the galaxy s4 mini or htc 1 but for the price it is 110% worth it.
Hy is any chance to unroot LGL3E430 with this tool
Here's the tutorial that works for XT910.

3. Sideload both APKs.
4. Run Towelroot, hit "Make it Ra1n" and then your FTV will reboot.
5. After reboot install SU and set default access to "Grant" in it's settings.
Setup SSH after SU install:
1. Download Busybox APK: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=stericson.busybox
2. Download SSH Daemon APK: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/?id=web.oss.sshsftpDaemon

4. Configure SSH Daemon to your liking and to start on boot
5. SSH with username root and password abc123 (configurable in SSH Daemon)
How to disable the FireTV Updater :
1. Connect via ADB and type "su" (without quotes)
2. pm disable com.amazon.dcp
3. If done correctly it should say "Package com.amazon.dcp new state: disabled".
OR
1. Just disable the OTA portion (Thanks JPDeckers)
Code:
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAUpdateMessageHandler"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.CheckForOTAUpdatesService"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAStatusActivity"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.ResetOTAMessageHandler"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTAWakeupReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTADedupeReceiver"
pm disable "com.amazon.dcp/.ota.OTAService$OTAInstallNowReceiver"
2. If done correctly it should say "Package xxx.xxxxxx.xxx new state: disabled".

Yep.
FYI, you should probably link to the main site instead of deeplinking the APK, same goes for SuperSU, the official download can be found here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
People can just pull the superuser.apk from the zip file.
Worked for me. Quick and easy.
Now what do I do with it? Can I install Google play now?

i was thinking root wait waiting till amazon releases the new update to thwart any last minute attempt for amazon to 'fix' it...
is this safe or like the other exploit?
The towel root link does not allow hotlinking,so you should just change it to the DOT com webpage.
Also,click the red-ish symbol on their page to download the tr apk.

Hi! I'm still a beginer, so .. can you explain how to change it to the DOT com webpage?
Thanks
Ninja'd!
Was DP for more attention.
How do we add the OTA links to Fire TV's HOSTS file for blocking the update?
Also,how do I ensure that root is working without having to install another app?
Edit:
I was talking about the OP with towelroot.
*Piccard facepalm*
By DOT com,I meant just the website by itself,and not linking to the apk directly.
I also now know root is working because seeder was granted lag reduction access.
Added some more info.
Hopefully now we will see in influx of custom launchers, removable of bloatware, overclock etc Today is a good day :highfive:
Amazing! I've been waiting for this.
Anywhere besides ebay where a Canadian can pick this up?
can edit that host file with your instructions

This step can also be done through a gui, root browser lite or other such.[/QUOTE]
Editing hosts for me failed at chmod. Instead I side loaded root browser and modified the hosts file directly on the Fire TV.
Someone else posted in another thread that this will disable the FireTV updater:
Code:
su
pm disable com.amazon.dcp
I checked the amz site after undoing OpenDNS and setting my two router DNS' to Google's two servers.
After two attempts of loading my google bookmark,it errored on one and worked on two,so internet is fine.
I tried loading the amz page and it gave me an error instead of file not found,which must mean it worked from the hosts file!
I also did that adb shell function through terminal app directly on Fire TV as an extra measure.
Landmark!
We have root. Brilliant.

Guide: Getting Xposed RunningThis morning, I finally managed to get Xposed up and running on my Turbo. So I thought I'd write up a guide as to how!
What you'll need:
A paid copy of Mofo (obviously)
Either a modified system image containing Xposed already, or if you like, you can modify one yourself as described in this tutorial. I've already created a modified system image to include Xposed as well as Wifi Tethering and a modified hosts file for ad blocking.
The Xposed Installer apk
Xposed Installer needs to be installed on your phone
Terminal Emulator and ES File Explorer from the play store need to be installed on your phone
A rooted image flashed to your phone
Before flashing anything, this is what you need to do:
On your computer, find your de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk and rename it to be a .zip file.
Open this .zip file and extract /assets/XposedBridge.jar and, if you're modifying your own system image, extract /assets/arm/app_process_xposed_sdk16 as well.
Put XposedBridge.jar somewhere on your phone, I like to use the Downloads folder so I don't lose track of it later.
In ES File Explorer, navigate to /data (NOT SDCARD/DATA)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Make sure it doesn't say sdcard > data!
Create a folder called "xposed"
Long press the folder, select properties, and set permissions to 755
Set the owner of the folder to root and the group to shell
Move XposedBridge.jar into the xposed folder we just created.
Make the permissions of XposedBridge.jar 644
As before, make the owner root and the group shell.
Open the Xposed Installer app on your phone.
Open terminal emulator and type
Code:
ps | grep xposed
This will return a pattern like the following. Make a note of the first seven characters, as shown (the first is a lowercase u)
Return to /data/xposed
Create two new files: modules.list and modules.whitelist
Make the permissions on both files 644 as above
Set the owner to the seven characters we noted down earlier and the group to shell on both files
If you're flashing a pre-compiled image with Xposed, you're done here! Go ahead and flash, and enjoy!
If you're modifying your own system image, you've got some more work to do. Take app_process_xposed_sdk16 from the Xposed apk and rename it to app_process.
In your turbo system image, navigate to /bin/ and replace app_process with the one from Xposed Framework. Make sure its permissions are set to 755:
Code:
sudo chmod 755 /path/to/img/bin/app_process
Linux does not allow setting the group of a file to a nonexistent group, so on your pc you'll have to make a shell group:
Code:
sudo groupadd shell
Change the group of app_process to shell:
Code:
sudo chgrp shell /path/to/img/bin/app_process
You're ready to flash!
NOTE: If XposedBridge.jar reports problems, try setting installation mode in the Xposed installer app to recovery (flash manually) and hitting install, then reboot.
You're done! Xposed should show up as installed! Don't use any modules that require system write access, such as replacing system icons, but most modules (ie GravityBox) work fine without it.

Gahhh I was working all day on getting Xposed baked in
Thanks for the write up! I'm finding modifying the image file and flashing it to be just as addictive if not more than flashing someones prebuilt roms on other devices. I never got into compiling android so this feels like a way to tinker on my own without jumping into the deep end of code.

Same here! When I finally opened Xposed Installer and saw it read the framework as installed, I've almost never been so excited about something Android.
i dont need it but its a great guide, easy, short and with pictures!
Does the phone need to be flashed with a rooted image, like that in the tutorial of how to modify system images? I can't write to /data, presumably because I don't have the rooted image flashed yet. Also my /data directory is empty.
I have a copy of mofo, and copies of the rooted system image and your already compiled system image. Is there something I am missing? Thank you in advance.
Thanks so much man, about to flash. Will let you know how it goes.
Ah damn, I actually just did a bit different process of installing Xposed on a image for myself, (which involved baking it into the rom that didn't have it) totally got it working and I've rebooted 3 times so far and everything sticks. Loving having battery percentage now! I can write a quick tutorial writing xposed files into a fresh rooted image via Virtualbox and such... Took me a few hours
It did not work for xposedbridge.jar

Yes, you will need to be rooted first to perform these actions. Apologies for not originally including this. OP updated

I am having trouble with es file explr it tells me the operation failed when trying to do anything I have root and I enabled root for ES it seemed to work on root browser fine (I reset my device and just installed es so far)
edit checked and the root enhancement options are greyed out?
After following directions for all files and then subsequent flashing of your pre-built image xposed installer still reports framework problem. I've gone back and double checked the user:group and perm masks and everything looks good. Any ideas what else I should check?
I am having same problem as u smokie

What's reporting a problem? Is it XposedBridge.jar?
If so, try setting the installation mode to recovery (flash manually) and hitting install, then reboot.

You should be able to foloow the instruction you quoted from that point. You should go back and check your permissions, ownership and group for the 4 files. first
Do the change in install mode to manual. Hit install and go to recovery
recovery should give you the dead droid an then reboot
Also don't worry if the group "shell" shows up as something else in app_proces

600,000 unique entries, browse the web without distractions by using this consolidated hosts file.
Features
- Combines tons of sources including AdAway.
- Systemless so you can block ads while using Android Pay
- Looks like a small zip but the hosts file is 18mb, a couple times the size of AdAway's.
- No app required.
- Update by typing hosts in terminal, no root required.
- 600,000 unique entries.
- 4 different hosts options
- Faster blockage time by changing the redirecting to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost like AdAway
- Four hosts options, can also be combined
1. Master = Ad & Malware block
2. Gambling = Gambling block
3. Pornography = Pornography block
4. Social = Social Media block
How to use 'hosts' terminal program
1. Type 'su' then type 'hosts'.
2. When selecting an option, you can combine multiple options into one.
3. For example, 'gps' as option would block ads, malware, gambling, pornography and social.
4. Note: The 'master' option is in all of the options so no need to include it.
5. Note: Some devices may need a reboot after updating even if ran as root.
Instructions
- Make sure you have Magisk installed.
- Download latest: v8
- Flash the zip in recovery.
- Run update if you'd like.

Very cool. I'm learning up on Magisk and it looks like a fundamental shift in the development stream. It seems like AdAway was a common culprit in AP failing ( along with Chainfire's SuperSU).

Yeah I never used AdAway though, kinda pointless having another app clutter the app drawer for something that can just be flashable.
Adaway updates the hosts file every day or so, while this appears to be a static hosts file. Is this intended to replace Adaway or provide a newer/bigger hosts file for Adaway to update? If it's intended to replace Adaway, how does it get updated?
Is it possible to include a uninstallation zip, in case we decide to revert the changes?

I would need to provide an updater app, I intended to replace AdAway as this provides much more than AdAway. I'll throw together an app or something to allow updates.

Adaway combines 4 sources (last I checked) into one.
Added a remover zip to the OP. :good:
Update
- Hosts is now present here: ratchetpanda.github.io/hosts.txt
Anyone can contribute and add lines.
- Combined many more sources so we are up to 3mb with 90000 unique entries.
- Located at /sdcard/hosts so you don't have to have root to edit it.
- Hosts can be updated by running hosts in terminal
If rooted type su before hosts
If not rooted a reboot is needed after updating.
- Installs Magisk if not present.
Newest is attached and I've also added it to OP.
- A small tutorial on auto updating using Tasker or another automation app.
1. Set event to whatever you want.
2. Set task to Run Shell and set the code to run to 'hosts'.
3. If you have root make sure to check the 'use root' option.
Hope you guys like it! :good:

If you updated to Magisk v2 you need to completely remove 1 before or the app will disappear.
