We don't have updater-script and modified bin for 4.5.5.

Trouble after upgrade to 5.3.1.1
After upgrade to 5.3.1.1 I lost TWRP/GApps/Root. From what I can see, it wiped and did fresh install. I was able to get root back. I have installed TWRP manager which shows I still have TWRP still installed but I am unable to access it. any help or answers would be appreciated.
* I had 4.5.3 bootloader and was previously running 4.5.5.1
thanks for these. after holding on for what seems like ages for a fully working cm machine I've given up and gone back to fireOS & handed my hd6 to the girlfriend who's a keen paperwhite reader & her hp slate stopped playing fair with bbc iplayer & that's about all she's after - books & stuff that works in fireOS natively. so no desire for a nearly working device. I've had fun flashing, bricking & re-flashing but time moves on.
i'm grateful to have returned this often busted machine back to stock. god bless xda & all those who sail in her!

I downloaded it, changed the extension from .bin to .zip, flashed it, and then flashed SU to retain root. Restarted, took a long while, but it booted up with root just fine.

Hi everyone,
I have the Kindle Fire HD 6 4th Gen currently on the developer preview Fire OS 5.0.1..... Is there any way to get this rooted????
I've tried Kingroot v4.90 but no luck....
Pardon the dumb question, but from reading the guides here, my conclusion is: there is no way to directly root 5.1.2.1 and install playstore / gapps. One must do either
1) regress to 4.5.3 / root / upgrade to 5.1.2.1 + gapps + xposed
or
2) sideload 5.1.2 factory image and flash that, root it, then install gapps and xposed (and update disabler) <<--- probably recommended
Did I understand that correctly?
I am familiar with bootloader / gapps / roms / Xposed and all that. I play with my Nexus 7 / Moto X stuff all the time. Fire HD is primarily an e-reader, but would be nice to have Playstore on it too.
Is there a way to root a Fire HD 7 4th gen 5.3.1.0?
I used towel root to root my S4, and I somehow allowed an auto update, which downloaded the updated, tried to install but failed. But I lost my root.
I am running 4.4.2 - Kitkat right?
So I don't have root, and I cannot update my phone - Is it possible for me to root it again? If so is there a link to instructions?
Thanks in advance, the DoridForums people sent me here -

I dunno what you are running.
1. You can take a look in your Settings - About device (Pic attached).
2. Try again Towel Root if you still running android 4.4.2 for root again your device.
3. Tell us how it works.
* You can download OTA udpates but you can't install them when you are rooted. Root your device modify system. It changes of OFFICIAL to CUSTOM. OTA detects it and give you a error when you try to install the update.
Ok attached is my about phone info -
I just tried towel root again, and it says this phone is not currently supported. So again, thought I would see what my easy options might be.
I can't post an image or links, Android version says 4.4.2 - If that's what you need? If not let me know which number you need
Use CF-Autoroot to root instead of Towelroot. While CF-Autoroot requires the Odin software to use, it's far more consistent in its results since it temporarily replaces the existing recovery with a recovery that will install SuperSU into the /system partition. Unlike Towelroot, CF-Autoroot is version agnostic, meaning it will work regardless of the version of Android installed.
There is an entire thread on CF-Autoroot. Hit the search bar at the top of the page and I'm sure you'll find it.
FYI - it has been reported FireOS 5.3.2 is being distributed via OTA update (here). The same individual indicated Kingroot was ineffective suggesting this build is not rootable at present. Also unknown is whether a rollback to FireOS 5.3.1 is possible. Suggest not trying a rollback unless you are comfortable sacrificing the device. Those on a lower versions of FireOS should consider blocking OTA updates via SuperTool (here) if you wish to preserve the option to root.
Edit: see following post by @zippy411. Appears a rollback to FireOS 5.3.1 (rootable) is viable.

I decided to offer up my tablet for testing. One of the two kindle fires I was going to root updated itself to 5.3.2 as soon as it was turned on. I am going to attempt to restore it back to 5.3.1.0

I am now going to root this device using the latest supertool and install the fire nexus rom.
I successfully rooted it and installed the fire nexus rom.
I found that Kingroot 4.9.6 151 works best instead of the kingroot included in supertool. run kingroot and then the supertool process like normal to replace kingroot with supersu.
I also had to install flashfire manually versus the one included in supertool.
good luck all!
great news that we can downgrade without issue.
P.S: Maybe my HD 10 5.3.1.0 will never see the light of getting root as Fire 7" as Amazon is pushing another update already
Did you try to rip the Alexa voice assistant APK(s) out and try them on other ROMs at all? I'd be very interested in being able to do this. Since my Fire was on 5.0.1 when I switched it to CM, I don't want to have to lose being able to use TWRP in order to get the files myself (via upgrade, root, and then stuck with flashfire).

Quite likely you can retain 5.0.1 bootloader while 'upgrading' to FireOS 5.4.x (when released) using the time proven procedure in this thread yielding the best of both worlds. Backup your existing CM install in TWRP so you can revert back after grabbing the Alexa components. You could do the same with the FireOS build and toggle between the two (awkwardly) via TWRP backup/restore. Can do the same thing with recent FlashFire builds although I would always retain a true nandroid (ie: twrp backup) of CM as a fallback.

I just followed your lead and it worked!!!
I had 5.3.2.0 on my Kindle Fire 7" Gen 5 tablet.
I booted the tablet into recovery (adb reboot recovery) and then used the "adb sideload" command to flash the 5.3.1.0 firmware.
The latest Kingroot did not work, so I downloaded the version you suggested 4.9.6 (from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...-release/kingroot-4-9-6-android-apk-download/)
That version did successfully root the device!
Now I'm playing with FlashFire. If all goes well, I'll be running CM12.1 soon!
Update: CM12.1 is installed and running great!

Will it be possible on 6th gen as well?
I can't quite understand the difference between the two software-wise.
Apart of the NEW Alexa, does anyone here has noticed something NEW or any improvements with the latest FireOS 5.3.2 update?
Can we root it after the update with dirty cow?

Hi - this forum is for 5th gen Fire (released fall 2015); you'll want to ask you question here. While 5th and 6th gen devices often run similar builds of FireOS there are some differences attributable to hardware variations and software release cycles. What works on one type of device may or may not on others. Rollbacks can be especially dangerous as bootloaders/kernels generally differ across device types. A failed rollback attempt typically yields a bricked device with no recovery options. In short, I would not generalize across device types.

To my knowledge there is no indication Dirty Cow has any meaningful relevance on this device. Although the underlying vulnerability may exist there is no evidence it has been successfully exploited on FireOS.
OK I thanks

I tried rooting it with Dirty Cow after the update to 5.3.2.0, but was unsuccessful. The device would reboot while it was attempting the exploit. Flashing back to 5.3.1.0 made it rootable again (via Kingroot version 4.9.6).
5.3.2 > 5.3.1 downgrade IS possible
Good Afternoon,
I recent purchased a Kindle Fire 7 (11/11/16) and it was upgraded to 5.3.2. I was able to downgrade the OS to 5.3.1 using the ADB sideload method and then root using Kingroot (11/18/16). Be sure to block OTA updates once completed. Have not seen any issues yet and will report if i do.
Good Luck everyone.

Tried to disable lockscreen ads using adb (com.amazon.kindle.kso), but when I touch the special offers icon on lockscreen, I get a window that says Selected Offers. Is there another package that I should be disabling? I'm on Fire OS 5.3.2.
Hello, i have the latest Fire 7".
If i rollback from 5.3.2 to 5.3.1.0 and i use Kingroot, only root, can I go to back to stock software if I have to give it to Amazon assistance?
Onlye root, not recovery modded or other rom.
Thanks
p.s.: not use slang with me, thanks

Yes - 5.3.1 can be reloaded again if pure stock is desired. However, this is not generally required for warranty exchanges (the only type of hardware assistance Amazon provides) as they do not perform a detailed inspection of returned devices.
Hey there, I followed the instructions as provided and everything seemed to work fine but now I am stuck and not sure if I should reboot it.
1. Downgraded from 5.3.2 to 5.3.1 -> worked
2. Install Kingroot with "AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool" and Root the device -> worked
3. Install FlashFire with "AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool"-> that did not work. I got the message that the APK is invalid.
4. Install Google Play Store
5. Install FlashFire from Google Play Store -> was that ok?!
6. Configure it as described in this thread which was linked. CM12 + Gapps Nano
I was confused because the instructions are a little bit different regarding the checkboxes compared to the other thread but I followed those instructions.
Device rebooted, and now I am seeing an Amazon Logo on the Screen since about 1,5h. It does not reboot or anything, it just shows the Amazon Logo
Should I reboot it or is it actually flashing right now since hours?

Something went wrong; the Amazon Logo should display for <30 sec. You will need to reload FireOS 5.3.1 from the stock recovery menu and start over. Guidance here, here. Once recovered post back for further assistance loading CM 12.1.
I used the Kingoroot guide to root my device (Firmware 5.6.1.0).

I followed this guide but when i rebooted and SuperSU actually started it gave me error messages about it being occupied and root not being detected.
So i re-rooted with Kingo. It says Root works, but did it really actually work?
Now whenever i do that and restart... it says root is gone.
Can i somehow completely reflash 5.6.1.0 and retry everything from the beginning?
EDIT: The first time i used the latest version of SuperSU instead of the one linked in the tutorial. This time it seems to work.
I assume 5.6.1.0 is still rootable?
