so I have literally checked everywhere and I cant see where to find my saved wifi passwords on kindle fire HD 8 and I can't find any please tell me where to find the saved wifi passwords...thank you.And I have tried wpa_suppliment.conf thing already
When you save a WiFi password, you are no longer able to retrieve it without root access. That's pretty much the deal on any Android device. In order to access that saved info, you need access to the system files they're saved in, which you don't have without root. That's why the available apps on the play store all require root access to retrieve those passwords.

The passwords aren't going to be visible. They're encrypted. Without root, you won't be able to decrypt them.

I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install Android Marketplace.
Works like a charm - thanks.
I entered the wrong Google account e-mail when I signed into the Google marketplace for the first time.
There don;t seem to be a way to add a second account or delete the one I logged in. I don;t see a way to log out?
Any way to install multiple accounts? Log out of the account I am in so I can log into another account?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try deleting accounts.db from " /data/system/"?
I cannot even find that.
I browsed the drive - even did a search and no .db files
Thanks
Do you have adb setup?
if so, do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/system/accounts.db
If not, you will need something like Root explorer. ES File explorer (free on the market) could likely do it to, but takes a bit more setup to put it in root mode.
Note: Not sure what you mean by searched the drive. The file is not on your SD card.
Kind of a noob still, but I got you now.
I took another route, Restored to default.
RE-rooted - reinstalled marketplace.
Used right email.
Working.
But are we stuck with only one account on Kindle? Do I have to do what I did to use another account or use the account.db Erase method?
If so that quite sucks.
No you can add more accounts. But I am not on a stock based rom, so I can not provide specific details. I know you will need to open "Account & Sync" settings. There is not a shortcut to do it on a stock based rom.
I know you can download a app from the market to help you do this, Quick Sync Settings, I think?
I will check it out then, thanks!
DUDE!!! totally worked. I was able to ad more account then when I go to the account setting in market place it allows me to pick which one I want.
YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome. Glad I could help.
Hello there guys.
My work's wireless network requires the installation of a certificate to be accessed, which is a .p12 file. I have such a file and the key to access that were used on my notebook, so I tried installing it on my phone to see if it could access the network.
Turns out it still requires some access info I'm unsure about, so I gave up on the idea. Thing is after installing this certificate the phone required me to draw a pattern or a set a code to access the phone, and tbh I was keen on having no security at all.
Now I can't enable lower level security unblocks on my phone, and I can't find where I could uninstall this certificate to remove this lock.
Does anyone know where I can uninstall it, or where I can find the file inside my phone? It's not on the root of the phone anymore.
I have an unrooted GT I9505 (and plan to keep it that way). Thanks!!! :angel:
Hi admins, pls delete this post. I just found out how to do it
Had to go through security and then clear credentials.
Sorry for bothering.
Hi All,
I was very happy to see that root has been achieved for our device but unfortunately not for v5.3.2.1. The root thread says that any attempt to downgrade 5.3.2.1 by sideload will result in a hard brick.
1. Will a factory restore leave me at 5.3.2.1 or will I be downgraded to something that can be worked with?
2. Is there any way to prevent updates on the device itself? I don't want to hear that a root for 5.3.2.1 has become available only to find that I've been silently and automatically upgraded. I'm not really interested in trying to block addresses on the router, unless that's truly the only option.
3. When sideloading apps, what is the correct location for obb files? The two Android/obb folders have empty folders with the names of some working apps I've installed, but no actual obb files in the app subolders. (e.g. obb/appname/appname.obb -there's no appname.obb file. Does the Kindle put the obbs somewhere else)
4. Other than getting the playstore on the device, is there anything else we can do with 5.3.2.1?
My main reason for root is for AdAway. The others don't seem to block ads in apps...
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately once on the latest, you're always on the latest. The only thing we can really do is install Google Apps and the Play Store. Also unfortunately, I cannot answer any of your other questions. I got my Kindle to put into my dashboard of my truck so not doing much with it other than play music.
Edit: Okay I take that back, I can answer the Update question. The only current way for us unrooted folks to not get updates automatically, is to factory reset, setup Kindle, NEVER OPEN THE UPDATE SETTING!!!! I thought that mine auto updated on it's own, but I found out that my wife was dicking around on it and went in the update section by accident. When she got done and put it to charge, it updated.
I'm running into a problem with the built in oem 'Audio Effects' equalizer app. I've tried clearing the cache, clearing data, etc, and it just keeps crashing every time I try to access - Even in safe mode. When clearing the data, I notice that the User Data of 119kb is not deleting. This app was running perfectly for along time. However, recently I was adjusting the EQ for a new set of BT speakers and it crashed. It has never been able to run since then, so I'm guessing that User Data got corrupted some how.
Short of doing a full factory reset, I'd like to figure out how to access and delete this apps User Data, in hopes this will clear the problem. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to get to the system files? I've tied connecting to a PC, Astro, etc, and they remain hidden. I have only been able to get as far as Internal Shared Storage > Android > Data > Com.Motorola.AudioEffects > Files, but the folder is empty. I cannot figure out or see where this 119kb of User Data is?
Any tips? Thanks!!
Are you a rooted user?

No sir.
Pity with rooted and a file explorer should be possible to get to the folder you need to delete.

Hi All
I've successfully rooted a nook simple touch with touchnooter-2-1-31 and enabled the playstore with NTGAppsAttack-0.5.0.
However when entering my gmail details i get a message that it can't establish a reliable data connection to the server despite being on wifi.
Its took weeks to get to this point that i dont wont to give up on it just yet. Is there anything else i can do to get this working? I want to download kindle app.

No, no, and no. No GApps or Playstore access. If you want the Kindle app search the forum for the modified one and side load it. You'll also need to update cacerts.bks in order to sign in.

I have tried looking in the forum but there doesn't seem to be a dedicated downloads area, installs and files it seems are attached to posts like this one. So i'm reading through post after post to see if someone as added anything in . Its very time consuming ,confusing and there's rarely confirmation in the posts that the attachments work.
Is this the one i need??

That is the correct Kindle app. There are a few updated cacerts.bks files now. Here is a link to one with instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/nst-g-revisiting-cacerts-bks-t3872617
Oh, and you need to check your email when you are trying to sign in. Amazon requires a two-step authorization for this old app. They will send you a one-time password to use. It will look like the login has failed, but just check your email.

ok i've installed kindle app using apk and copied a cacerts.bks file from the link you provided into files/system/etc/security
both /etc/security didn't exists so i created them, is this correct? The kindle app is asking me to 'register to get started'
If try and log on in this window i get 'no internet connection' error. There's links below for 'forgot password', amazon.com.jp customer?' and 'don't have an amazon account'.

No. Those directories must exist on the device, so either the ancient rooting method you used did not work properly or else you are using some kind of file manager that does not show everything. Some of the old rooting methods may fail with FW 1.2.2 (which is what I assume you are using).

Yes, did you see the last bit I added to my previous post? When you try to login with your Amazon account you get an error and Amazon almost immediately sends you an email with a one-time password to enable the old Kindle app to login. BUT, without the updated cacerts.bks file functioning, any login attempt--even with the one-time password--will fail.
You said "file/system/etc/security". What is "file" doing in there? The folder you want is at root so the address is just /system/etc/security. Unless you meant something else.
Okay i can see the security folder now by following post 3 by Overbytes here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-touch/general/view-root-files-nst-t2817036
"If you're using ReLaunch that was installed with NookManager, to change the launchers behavior from the home screen click on the gear in the upper right corner, this enters you into the settings menu, click on advanced settings, general settings, make sure that the don't leave start directory item is unchecked, go back and under file manager settings check show hidden files and uncheck hide known extensions. Back out again and in the main advanced settings menu scroll down and click on the save settings and restart item. You should be able to view anything on internal and external storage."
However when try to copy the i simply get an error message 'unable to copy/move cacerts.bks
Maybe the device isn't rooted????

I'm not sure Relaunch can do what you need. You can "see", yes, but that doesn't mean you can change. To do that, /system has to be mounted as R/W and I don't know if Relaunch can do that. Back in the day I used an app called Root Browser. Now I just use ES File Explorer as a general file manager. It can be set for root access and also can mount /system so you can make changes. I've attached a copy below.

If you are asking about the NST, Google abandoned Android 2.1 back in 2017. No market access. You'll have to search online for what you want and side-load it.
