[how-to]Fix android market if it isn't working

Hi,
If your like me and you have had some problems with android market on your Kindle Fire (yes,I got one for christmas and its already rooted ) by following a guide with Vending.apk and though you can browse the market, it is stuck on Starting Download, I have found a solution to the problem... All you need to do is get a new file:bit.ly/tlWjSn
This file is simply an updated version to the Vendor.apk other tutorials provide.
All you do is the following(presuming you have rooted, got root explorer and GO launcher):
1.Copy the file to kindle at an easy to access location.
2.Long-Hold the file and tap move.
3.Navigate to / then system then app.
4.Set it to R/W mount (top left)
5.Paste the file.
6.Set the permissions like all other files(tick first 2 in first row, first 1 in second row and first 1 in third row then tap ok)
7.Reboot the device
8.Go onto GO launcher and add it to the screen (tap the list thing bottom middle of the screen,then tap Add. then select Application followed by Market)
9.Done! Enjoy!

Not sure if I should start a new thread or not.
I'm rooted and have SU. I have confirmed this by running Titainium Backup.
Market stopped working after the latest Kindle update. After I re-rooted, I tried re-installing vender.apk, but it still crashes upon launching it. Also, I am running Go Launcher EX.
When I browse folders while connected to a computer (using Win7), the system folder is hidden.
I never installed Root Explorer on the Fire. Is there a way for me to download and install it directly, or will I need to side load it? I assume if it's in the Market I'll need to side load.

Unfortunately you will as far as I know, but for $3.99, it is VERY useful when rooting or installing app's. market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
Check it out. If you run into anymore problems feel free to PM me as it's easier

Hello guys, I have a little question related to market app that maybe has been already answered so I won't start a new thread.
I have my KF with 6.2.1 rooted and with the full android market installed (EX launcher and so on).
Usually the market works fine, but I always get errors ( process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly) and consequent force closes even if I can download stuff and apps. Basically, it happens whenever the market takes an action.
Is it a known issue or ir it "normal" ?
Thank you all in advance.

For me, I am having problems copying the Vending.apk to /system/app folder. I follow the steps in that tutorial but when I paste the.apk in the folder nothing happens. Help??
Got it rooted last night, and I'm using file expert since my cheap ass doesn't want to buy root explorer.

I'm afraid that without Root Explorer you can't change the /system/app folder permissions from R/O to R/W, therefore you can't paste anything in that folder.

File expert gives you that option too though.

if ur rooted but it wont paste or read and write in root explorer then ur su wasnt pushed properly in ur root process! When i rooted my kindle i deleted my old su and did the whole root process from scratch when i got the new root process. The whole thing went smooth and su showed up in apps when done but it wasnt totally rooted as i couldnt read or write in root explorer. Jcase told me that when the adb command for pushing the su wasnt done right thats what happens. he fixed it for me, great guy.
that was me though

[Q] Rooted, but have issues with permissions and Root Browser.

Phone: AT&T LG G2
Software Version : D80010q
Status: rooted
I rootedafter the OTA download of D80010q
I have super user permissions according to Root Checker and Terminal Emulator apps.
I am having issues with Root Browser (also same issues with Root Explorer) It never asks for super user permission, as the other apps have done. It also doesn't show up in SuperSU app's log.
I mainly rooted to get rid of the bloatware that comes installed from AT&T. After searching Google, I found the list of apps safe to remove. Root Browser was recommended to remove these. The folder referenced is /system/apps.
Root browser opens, but never asks for SU permissions.
Browse to /system.
There is no /system/apps folder. There is a /system/app folder, but the apps that can be safely removed are not in there.
Any advice?
Sorry for posting this same thing in multiple places.

I don't use root browser, but in root explorer, go to your root tab and tap the button on top that says ro (read only), which will switch it to rw (read/write) then you'll be asked for su access.... That's the big difference amongst file managers in regards to root access. Root browser has the same option, just don't know where it is because I don't use it.

I have rooted successfully Desire 626 (At&t) that's on Android Version 5.1, Steps on how to root below:
First Enabled "Unknown sources," Settings->Security->Tick the Check Box and Click yes.
Return to App Drawer, open File Manger and install "KingRoot-4. 1 .0.249.apk" when finish installing open the app
"Ignore any error message" and start root (Internet Connection required) once successfully rooted verify with "Root Checker" app
Now to replace "Kinguser" with "Supersu" install a "Terminal Emulator" app, Extract the file "KS.zip" and place the extracted folder on the root (main) of your Phone Storage, now open terminal emulator app and type the code below:
su
"allow root permission when asked"
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
" after typing the above code ignore any errors til the process is complete, Supersu will open if successful
When asked to update binary select "normal" and reboot if asked.
Done.
N.B. I have package the files needed to do the root here : https://goo.gl/A7BIsD
N.B. Your Bootloader must be Unlocked !

Link to packaged files needed to do the root is broken. Could you please re-post?

Sorry bout that....link has been Updated.

Thank you for the quick reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the zip file, installed KingRoot and opened the app, but the root keeps failing. I've tried multiple times and KingRoot fails at around 60% every time. I updated KingRoot and that failed, too. Based on your screenshots, it seems like we have the exact same phone with AT&T. Would really love to root if you have any suggestions. ("Unknown sources" is enabled and Bootloader is unlocked ) Thank you!

use the kingroot app provided...if your bootloader is unlocked then it should work.
uninstall kingroot and restart your phone.. connect to WiFi or Data, reinstall kingroot open and try root again..if it fails try again at least 3 more times.

Worked perfect for me

Snapchat Root workaround

I just found a workaround to login to snapchat and other apps that wont let you login while rooted.
1. Install root switch https://mega.nz/#!hw1giCBb!EbAYtSs-KC2f_z6pW5nprvzd7rhCUFEAizAxHeFlueA
2. Phone may reboot after a few seconds.
3. Login to snapchat.
4. Open app and renable root.
5. Profit.
Sorry if it doesn't work for you but worked for me!

Be careful using this app. I had to change my su binary permissions back to 755 in order for any apps to request root again.

Here are the three methods I've used to get SC working on Rooted device.
1st Method Using TitaniumBackup (Explained for the SAMPWND Root)
1. Flash the rooted firmware
2. Download snapchat then login
3. Once logged in do the process of installing supersu
4. Once SuperSu is installed download titaniumbackup and backup snapchat and save the backup on a PC or external SD card(just to be safe)
5. Then complete part two of the root process.
6. Once finished install titaniumbackup, make sure the snapchat backup created earlier is in the titaniumbackup folder.
7. Finally restore snapchat.
You should be automatically logged in when you open the app. This process has worked for quite a long time and I just did this to my S8+.
2nd Method Uninstalling SuperSu
If you don't want to go through that process you can always uninstall supersu, download and login to snapchat, then reinstall supersu.
This is probably the easiest way but I'm a huge fan of uninstalling SuperSu.
3rd Method Using BlueStacks and TitaniumBackup (Last Resort)
This is the FINAL way I've found to get SC to work.
1. Install an android emulator like BlueStacks on a PC.
2. Download Snapchat and login on Bluestacks
3. Next root Bluestacks
4. Install titaniumbackup
5. Create backup of Snapchat
6. Transfer backup to already rooted phone
7. Once that is done restore SC with titaniumbackup on the rooted phone
I had to use this method on my old S7 because nothing else would work, it is definitely a LAST resort option lol.
*This is similar to the first method I posted, but with this way you can do it even when you have finished rooting your device*

Perfect i used the first method

[SGH-I257][ROOT][KINGROOT][SUPERSUME] SGH-i257 S4 MINI ROOT METHOD (WORKING!)

This method will root your SHG-i257 Galaxy s4 mini without an issue.
DOWNLOADS
KingRoot
SuperSUme
INSTRUCTIONS
Copy both of the above files to the S4 mini's internal storage
Install BOTH apk's
Run KingRoot and tell it to install root
Reboot
Open SuperSUme and press the big blue button
Once SuperSU shows up, go to settings and select "Install As System App"
Reboot when asked
Done!
This should work, and you will have root.
*NOTE*
DO NOT use a different version of KingRoot OR SuperSUme. It will NOT work properly. Use the provided APK's and you should be fine.
Feel free to post here if you have issues, I will try to respond quickly.
