i'm very sorry for the noob post, folks. but i am a complete virgin when it comes to anything android related, especially rooting. the info i'm looking for is likely posed already, but honestly, i dont even know where to look.
that said, i just got a Kindle Fire and I want to root it.
i downloaded KFU and when i click on the drivers install file i get this message:
"' and' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. the syntax of the command is incorrect."
after that i get a screen indicating "Google,Inc. (WinUSB)..." followed by "Install Failed (unsigned)"
what the heck does any of that mean and how do i fix it??
thank you all in advance, looking forward to an answer to my problem.

Your post is actually in the wrong section... it should be in Q&A.
I suggest you read this...

Post #2 has information on how to install drivers and verify they are working correctly.
Post #3 has information on the commands you need to know to root and a link to a HOW-TO guide.

Hi
I seem to be having a problem rooting my Xperia Arc.
I'm trying to run : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350&page=12
And first I got the error message : Adb out of date, but re-tried.
The second time I did it, I didn't get that message but now it just says waiting for device...
Nothing else happens - I have followed all the instructions and can't see anything wrong.
Any help appreciated...
Go to task manager on the PC and end any instance of adb, then try again.
If the above doesn't work just copy the
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
From your adb folder and try again
Hi, thanks for the replies.
I tried killing the process but made no difference.
I went through and had another read around and followed the adb guide to make sure I had everything, downloaded things and tried again.
I now get a message adb is out of date, killing.
But then says Daemon started successfully, then does nothing.
I don't seem to have those files any you mentioned anywhere??
If you was following that thread you must have those files, also you must have adb SDK installed you are getting that error because the adb files in the link is different versions to what you have installed so just move the files named
I did it the other way and created files folder in program files\android\sdk with the files from the root package and put batch file in the main directory.

Absolutely no idea then, It said it downloaded stuff, but no idea where it is. I have file searched but brings up nothing.
I do have the SDK yes, but there is no folder in there called usb or anything.
I'll try re-doing it all again from scratch, see if it makes any difference..

That's what I've been following.
Knightlore,
I seemed to have had the same problems as you. Much as I thought I was following instructions, I just couldn't get it to work.
One of the threads I was reading had a link to a flashtool thread(I can't easily link to it at the moment as not on computer). Anyway, it said that the Zergrush exploit was now in Flashtool, so I followed those instructions and it was really easy to root phone.
HTH.
I think it is this thread I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Still encountering the same problem, I have re-done everything from scratch and I still get the same error. Anyone else got any ideas please?
I've managed to root all my other phones, but for some reason this just won't work...
Hey there,
Long time lurker first time poster. Sorry I didn't post a hello thread, This forum has really helped me out with my Evo and Evo shift. I have never rooted them as I didn't have need. They served my purpose as is. Now I'm in new territory so I humbly ask you pros for help trying to root my Kindle Fire. The only reason I bought this was to turn it more into a tablet more like my phone.
I have seen and read just about everything I can find on installing the drivers and rooting this thing.
I have search here and found partial answers that end up turning into a different conversation and nothing has worked.
I'm on Win XP sp3 I am very computer savvy since I'm a software tester but I am stumped.
I set driver signing to ignore and I still get the unsigned error when trying to run install_drivers.bat.
You can't change the driver signing in the registry because it will just revert back.
When I plug it in to install it it shows up in the device manager as an Android phone with the Android Composite ADB Interface If I try and update the drivers it says the best driver is already installed.
I uninstall it and reinstall and point it to C:\Documents and Settings\Users\my profile name\KFU\Drivers\Kindle and it installs the same way as an android phone with the ADB interface below it.
Like I said. I have tried everything I have read and run.bat still shows as offline
Is the Android Composite ADB Interface mean the drivers are installed correctly?
I read one post someplace else that said if it said android phone to delete it.
Been at this for a week. Come home from work and spend hours trying over and over and there must be some bonehead thing I didn't do or a setting I didn't set correctly.
Please help
You can try a utility that I did for myself and others to root.
Basic Fire Utility[Expired]
Also goto %USERPROFILE%\.android and rename the file adb_usb.ini to adb_usb.ini.bk then rerun to driver install.
Also this should have been asked in the Kindle Fire Q&A.
Try this method:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/
.Sometimes kfu says that the boot status is unknown even though it is just fine. assuming u havnt Try one of the options and see if the fire responds.

Thanks!
Mods please move to the correct forum. It was a little confusing when I saw all the kindle forums.
Do you have a how to for the basic fire utility? Do I need to remove all of the KFU stuff from 9.6 first? Sorry, first root. I installed the driver and now the DM says android phone,Amazon Kindle Fire ADB Interface.
Thanks again
Since you have the drivers installed do selection 3 to install FFF 1.4a then select 4 to install TWRP 2.2.0. Selection 5 will root and put basic Google apps.
The Basic Fire Utility copies the root/ gapps flash file to your device sdcard directory then boots you into TWRP. From there you flash the file... Choose Install, scroll under folders until you see Gapps+Apps.zip file and select it then swipe the blue button to the right to flash.
Thats it. Select reboot System and you are now rooted.
Sorry I am not very good at the instruction part thats why I just kept it to myself. But If you have more questions please let me know.

Even if it still says offline when I run the utility from the 9.6 download?
I couldn't find anything on sections 1,2,3 etc to follow in this thread and nothing on the download site besides the download link.

Download link is bad.
I could not get this thing rooted. Tera Tike spent a lot of time walking me through it, but still nothing.
It would only boot into TWRP. He then offered to see if he could fix it for me if I sent it to him.
From all of our message interaction I didn't hesitate to send a new Kindle to a total stranger.
He had put so much time in trying to help me via messaging that I knew he was a good guy and I was right.
He fix it as soon as he got it. Had a corrupt partition. Most likely something stupid I did, and it's on it's way back ready to go.

Amazon Kindle Fire
I have recently gotten a amazon kindle fire, and i have been trying to install adb drivers so i can root it and flash recovery and it finally recognized it as (android phone) android composite adb interface and the other as kindle fire android composite adb interface but the one labeled android phone has the yellow exclamation mark and in general says this device cannot start(code 10) and says its not using resources because it has a problem.... (general details on missing driver is: Device type: android phone
manufacturer: google, inc.
location pci bus 2, device 0, function 0
i tried to install the google drivers again and it said the drivers already installed do you want to continue i hit yet and then it said it could not find the drivers... im getting really confused but i am very new to this and would love to gain more knowledge so if anyone can help you have my undivided attention. thanks.
error while making a backup image of /sd-ext!
Why has my phone started doing this ?
In the time it took to take a photo and upload while waiting for a response you could have googled "md5 mismatch" and found your answer.

there is more than 1 way to skin a cat yes ? so not every issue is the same even after doing a forum search ..
anyway i had made a partition on my external SD card to give me more internal storage & i think this is what was creating the issue i had.
i,ve had many android phones and each one has its own learning curve

i don`t think your partition is to blame. I have had same issue with CWM. Does your phone boot. i have a way but you need a working OS on the phone.
This can be done on PC asswell by conecting phone via ABD, but i did not managed to do it. But worked very well in terminal window on phone :
Boot the device (Connect the device – via adb , not in media storage mode) and do the following in CMD / Terminal
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-10-10.20.22.53 (Here 2012-10-10.20.22.53 is timestamp at which backup was generated, yours might be different! )
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Thats it ! that removes the existing md5 sum (which gave a mismatch in CWM) and generates a new one !
Try restoring the Backup now, it will be done in first attempt
But be very caefull : if image was not created on this phone or if you are not sure is exactly for your phone, don`t do it !!!!

Sorry mate but I've been meaning to say this for a while...
A lot of the time that i search for something, i find a thread with a similar question.
But most of the time the answer is from you saying "SEARCH" etc etc
If the thread has already started you may as well help if you can.
Otherwise you are spamming just as much as those not searching for answers...
Along with leaving yet another unanswered thread for others to find.
Isn't it funny how my searches of a lot of thread titles or modified key words find what some People claim their searches couldn't, perhaps you, and anyone else who takes issue with how I post should read the last link in my sig.

Hey this won't be any help regarding you're problem, but I was wondering how you rooted you're 10.2.6 kf2. I've tried every method to root my own device but I haven't been successful. Which method did you use? How long did it take you before it finally worked? Is there a link to the way you did it? Any tips or tricks I need to know for a correct root?

I also "spent" hours trying to root, backup and install CM10 on my KF2 software version 10.2.3 and later updated to 10.2.6, before finally succeeding.
The information is in multiple threads on XDA.
After succeeding i was motivated in collecting and putting everything in one place ( i created a small blog on this specific subject):
someonelikesIT.wordpress.com
it has all the pointers towards every step described in XDA threads.
Hope it helps you achieve your goal.
It is not easy like next-next-next but not impossible (no IT background required but good understanding of english and some IT basic skills).
Good luck!
Edit: Accidental post
Hi guys im unsure if you would call me a noob since ive been playing with androids and custom ops for a while, however my girlfriend purchased an lg d855 (stock as a rock)and "all of a sudden" it failed to reboot, now from what i have found it appears to be quite unusual for this to happen but common for the os to crash into a boot freeze or boot loop, i have no complete load of download mode, it comes up with the little blue dots and the picture of the phone or whatever the symbol is. i can get it into fastboot for use with the adb or fastboot apps, i have obtained the stock LAF.img for the 32gb variant, the issue is that after the phone is connected and ready to send operations
i send the command
c:\adb\fastboot erase recovery >
erasing recovery>
FAILED <remote: failed to erase partition>
and on the phone it says
<start>
fastboot: processing commands
fastboot: getvarartition-type: recovery
fastboot erase: recovery
partition getsize 16777216 bytes
erasing card: 0x48000:0x8000
error: command never completed
error: command timeout error
error: command completed with errors
failed to send erase grp start address
mmc erase failed
<end>
so the question, what the hell does that mean, also if i try other commands it also failes to complete them such as erasing the laf file and or replacing it, i feel like i am mostlikely not the only one with this issue, i do have all the correct drivers installed, using the adb that i have which is 1.3 and one that comes with a kit of the sdk tools and all that, i feel like it is a phone issue more than computer as its failing to erase the mmc, i am wondering if there is other commands i could put in the phone to figure this out or if anyone knows what it all means i would greatly appreciate any help Thanks guys an gals.
iv tried also to load a custom recovery but cant do that because it comes up with incomplete bootloader on the phone, is anyone even able to help? i have no idea what the hell i am doing and nobody seems interested to try and help me.
Same problem here
I'm in the same situation as you did you manage to erase the recovery or something else in order to put your smartphone to work? thkx

Now my point is resurrecting this very old post and and asking a question to the person who posted it along time ago is not likely going to get you a answer from him.You probably need to find newer up to date posts or answers by doing a more in depth search.
Saying all that here is a little info that may help you it is a slightly different solution but may help you >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359 << this is a more up to date thread and if you post your question there with as much detail as possible about your problem and anything you have done to fix it then you may solve your problem.
If you choose to try the advice given in that thread don't forget to use a tot file for your particulate model and not the one posted in the thread.
