This file is not on the sdcard. It is in the /data folder.
I need to list the contents of the /data folder.
When I do a ls on the adb shell, it throws up a opendir failed permission denied error.
The device is rooted since I am able to see the SU application.
How do I go about copying the file from /data?
I do not know the name of the file. I attempted to copy the entire /data folder using an adb pull command, but that did not work.

This suggestion might not work for me as I was unable to get TRWP installed on it.
Are you rooted?

You don't need to be rooted to install TWRP. Any time you're messing with the file system, it's always a good idea to do it from recovery.

Can't you copy files from /data without being rooted? Do you have a file explorer app on your kindle? If so, assuming you're able to boot, try navigating to /data and see if you can copy/find the file you're looking for.

Yes, I used the KindleFireUtility to gain permanent root. I tried to use the utility to load TRWP on my Kindle, but that didn't work. The process to install TRWP got stuck on <Waiting for device> prompt forever.

That's because the link KFU uses to install TWRP dorsn't work. You have to get TWRP from their website and replace the TWRP in the KFU folder with it.

I am stuck in the boot loop with standard rom installed.
What I think I did was I edited the png files in the update.zip file. (Used paint)
then i installed the edited rom on my fire with TWRP.
I cleared the cache(s)
Then I rebooted.
When the fire started up i showed the Kindle Fire Logo. (no TWRP or FIREFIREFIRE Triangle)
AND IT STUCK there.
I used the KFU to check it and it says:
ABD:Offline
Boot Status: 4002
Fastboot status: offline
I dont know how to fix this
Please help
Thanks.......
First you need to get the adb working. Based on your post, the KFU doest recognize your KF.
I recommend to configure your PC to use Android composite driver to communicate to KF., then use KFU to do next steps such as installing FFF or recovery tool or ROM.

You need to install drivers as ADB Composite, or else you'll probably be stuck there forever. The device not found error is due to a lack of working drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6
and check the adb_usb.ini file in your .android folder in your personal folder
it has to be existent and has to include 0x1949 (i use to add 0x18d1 in a separate line also)
without this folder/file/entries adb will never work !
if they are missing just create this folder and copy the file from c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
Kindle Fire boot loop problem
I still have a boot loop issue with my kindle fire which I just received some days ago (right, I had only 1 day to use it until first the web browser started closing when calling a page, then after repoot, the boot process does not finish, still seeing the kindle fire logo). draining the battery did also not solve the issue.
I installed the android sdk, the usb drivers, configured them and the kindle fire is recognized as device.
Afterwards I installed the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.3, and tried it, with no success. Here the results:

Does anybody have an idea how I can get this thing up and running again?
if the kf is'nt booting up normally kfu may have problems
i assume you don't have fff & twrp installed - right ?
you can try to install it with option 5
if it says <waiting for device> power it off by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns of - pwr on again - the command should resume and finish
or install manually

After power-off by holding the power button for sth. about 20 sec. and power on
nothing happens, kfu is still waiting for the device.
how can I install manually?
it's a good practice to move kfu to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" so that it is c:\kfu
- copy recovery.img from c:\kfu\recovery to c:\kfu\tools (check it is ~10mb)
- open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools
- issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot recovery.img"
- in case it says <waiting for device> do as in my last post

I also tried this, but still after power-off and power-on the <waiting for device> does not disappear.
Any other ideas?
what it telling the device manager under android phone ?
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
just reviewed your post - correct me if i'm wrong

- not rooted
- no fff & twrp
- stuck on "kindle fire" static or animated ?

The device manager tells me :
Android Composite ADB Interface
I cannot tell the fastboot interface though I am not able to start with fastboot.
Concerning your questions for verification:
- Android OS version: I am not sure which version I have, I didn't check the day I received the device, and the second day it did not boot correct.

hey cool - thought the shell is messed up - it's not - you can get to fastboot - great
would suggest to follow this thread starting at point 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21803658&postcount=29
and your allready downloaded twrp is recovery.img not twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img
simply adapt the corresponding command in the above thread
is you want stock rom i would suggest to use a prerooted stock rom (i prefer the unsecure version):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22393194&postcount=20
Just wondering
Did my changing the stock logo images (png) inside the zip file have anything to do with why the Kindle Fire gets stuck at the logo?
Is there a way with ADB to push the correct images to replace the edited ones?
This seems logical to me as thats what I did and now it is hung on the logo.
Please I'm desperate because Amazon wont even help me cause im canadian
They said they would replace it no problem until I gave my address, and then it was Ohhhh Im msoooo sorry (my butt)
Thanks to all who have responded to the cries of a desperate man.

Hi,
I recently got a new Kindle fire and tried to root it.
I followed the instructions given in this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
However, my kindle fire seems to be stuck in an infinite boot loop after first step itself.
Here are the step I followed (I am using Windows 7 32bit).
1. Installed android sdk.
2. Updated the Kindle driver to install "android abd composite interface"
3. Downloaded all the required files in the platform-tools folder
Required files:
fbmode.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1414832
twrp2 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79
su - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/kindlefire/su
firefirefirefire http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1369405
fastboot + adb for your OS of choice.
4. Followed following commands:
unzip fbmode.zip
adb push fbmode /data/local/fbmode
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/fbmode
adb shell /data/local/fbmode
adb reboot
5. After this, my kindle fire seems to have stuck in an infinite boot loop.
- It starts up only when a USB cable is connected.
- Power light is orange and not green
- It starts up Kindle Fire logo comes up, then shuts down again
- My computer is not detecting any device, probably because KF is in an infinite boot loop
- When I run adb devices -- no devices show up
- When I run fastboot command [fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader .....] it says "waiting for devices"
- When I remove the USB cable from KF, It doesn't powers on (even after long pressing the power button).
- I tried many things posted on different forums on two laptops (Windows 7 32 bit as well as 64 bit) and using different USB cables but nothing worked.
- Only thing I haven't tried is Factory cable as I don't have it and don't have money to buy it.

Superuser not working
Thanks for the help with the charging issue Kinfauns!!!
I charged my kindle fire using stock charger and finally rooted it.
However, I am still not able to install android market on my KF.
After rooting Kindle (followed all the steps given in the thread), I installed Superuser.apk.
Then to install android market, I installed root explorer and downloaded Kindle Fire android market zip file. (followed instructions from one of the NAT3MIL's video on youtube).
First step is to install googleServicesFramework.apk file, which I did.
The next step is to move market.apk file to system/apps folder. However, when I tried doing that, I got a warning:
"Your phone doesn't appear to be rooted. This is requires in order to change or delete protected files such as this ......"
I don't understand why is it saying so as I have followed all the steps in the thread to root my KF?
How to check if the KF is really rooted?
Are there any settings to be changed in the superUser.apk?
Please help!!
Thanks a ton!!
Superuser not working
One more thing.
when I tried to update SU binary file,
I got following:
Downloading manifest .. OKAY!
parsing manifest.. Okay!
Latest Version = 3.0.3.2
Checking installed version .. legacy
Fixing database .. okay!
checking for busybox .. not found
Downloading custom busybox .. okay!
checking md5sum ... okay!
checking current install path .. fail!
Failed to find current installed su binary. Update cannot continue.
Does this mean I have to re-root the KF or just install the su binary file? how to do that?
Thanks!
Download the latest kindle fire utility and rerun it for permanent root.
Known Tricks
If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.
Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.
Copied from the instructions of the kindle fire utility
Above are the tricks if you get stuck but after root install twrp then install fff
I would assume that your not rooted sounds that way to me.
By the way the yellow triangle will be replaced with the new bootloader a white kindle and a blue fire this will be considered the yellow triangle in the description. Good luck
Install permanent root
Install twrp
Install fff
All should be the newest at this point hopefully
Thanks ThePooch.
So, apparently I have to re-root my KF as for some reason it was not rooted correctly. Right?
I believe so the worst that could happen is it could fail if the file already exists but let's hope it goes fine

You don't necessarily have to let KFU do its entire "rooting" process.
If you can get into recovery and you are comfortable with adb, you can follow the "Rooting the stock software" section in this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452
to push the 'su' binary into the /system partition and set ownership/permissions.
If you are not comfortable with that, you can use KFU, but it will be doing a lot of extraneous things that you probably don't need.
Under extras you will put on Google frame work and go launcher after you have confirmed bootloader recovery and root note that the market can only be seen using go launcher not the kindle one.
---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
The easiest way to test root is to download an app that will request root permissions like root explorer for instance if you open the app and you don't see a dialogue pop up requesting permission its very likely that it isn't rooted.

nevermind I see your on windows 7 like me. adb shell mount system will mount system to read/ write
its all in kinfauns post you just need to be it recovery to execute the commands I believe I would paste it here but its just as easy to read them from there
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su not 755 you can probably safely copy and paste the commands from his post right into cmd he has it written up very nicely

I think you may be trying to do this while booted into the system software. That won't work because you don't have root access there and you won't be able to mount (or remount) a partition without those privileges. The rest of it won't work without R/W access to the partition, as you've already seen.
To be clear, the device needs to be booted into recovery (TWRP or CWMR) where you do have root privileges. Make sure you start with step one to get the system partition mounted. If successful, "mount" will provide no output.
I have tried every version of KFU from 0.9.5 on up, and have reinstalled the KFU drivers multiple times. FFF & TWRP install fine, but when KFU gets to the part where it removes the root checker I get an error:
Attempt to remove root checker
mv: can't rename 'system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory
Please wait...
The Kindle then continues to boot up as normal. It then attempts to install SU:
Installing Superuser.apk
Error: Cound not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?
KFU then states that root has been installed, when in fact it has not. I know that I could simply use TWRP to flash CM 10.1 which would have root, but this Kindle is my wife's (I already have CM on mine). I need root to be able to use Titanium Backup and save all of her app data. Any help resolving this would be appreciated!

I've run into this problem before. This is from attempting to install the .apk before the device is booted far enough for the package manager to be available. This can be easily fixed by pausing the script for an amount of time to ensure the package manager is available before continuing with the rest of the script. You should probably contact the developer about it.
You might be able to just install Superuser.apk using the following command:
Code:
adb shell pm install -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
THANK YOU!!!

This can be easily fixed by pausing the script for an amount of time to ensure the package manager is available before continuing with the rest of the script. You should probably contact the developer about it.
You might be able to just install Superuser.apk using the following command:
Code:
adb shell pm install -r /system/app/Superuser.apk

Your response made all the sense in the world (duh moment for me, lol)! I took a look at the batch file for KFU, and located the line of code where it calls the sleep function to wait for the Kindle to boot up:
::Wait for Android to finish booting, and install Superuser.apk.
tools\adb wait-for-device
tools\sleep 20
echo. Installing Superuser.apk
tools\adb install -r files\Superuser.apk 2> nul
I changed the 2nd line of the section to call sleep for 60 seconds instead of just 20. Voila! That did the trick. I have sent a message to the developer as well, so that he can make this simple fix. Thanks again for taking the time to help get me on the right path! :highfive:

Yeah, 60 seconds may be a bit much LOL, but I'm glad it worked out for you :good:
Currently my KF2 is running stock amazon OS (10.4.3), and I rooted the device following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959
I believe it has been rooted successfully, as I am able to use Titanium Backup and grant root access to ES File Explorer. I also downloaded some root checker app from google play store to double check if it has root privileges.
As I want to flash CM10.1 to my KF2, I have been following Hashcode's guide to install a 2nd bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963. I am getting stuck with Step 3. I get the following error:
Code:
C:\kfu\tools>adb push stack /data/local/tmp/
failed to copy 'stack' to '/data/local/tmp//stack': Permission denied

Can you navigate to your '/data/local' directory and confirm that you do have a 'tmp' folder?

Using ES File Explorer, I can navigate to '/data/local' directory and I can see a 'tmp' folder.
Problem solved. Instead of using "adb push", I just place the file into '/data/local' manually. The rest of the steps went fine!
No data/local/tmp folder...
So i go into my ES file explorer and i go to my data folder and it shows that i have no local folder, i actually have no folders in this directory. how would i create a local/tmp folder so i can successfully S-OFF my phone?
There are folders in there, key thing is in order to see them you need root. Its weird like that, they might show up over and adb shell if you
Code:
adb shell
cd /data
ls
Or for a more formatted column listing use "ls -n", it will also display permissions of files and folders.

You need to go into root admin.
Use the command "Su" to get into root shell
Hi, thanks I've tried that and get the same issues?

After su command was sent through ADB, have you granted access on the pop up screen that appears at first use?
- Reset (unplug and plug back in) unit
- let it boot into main menue
- connect through ABD
- at adb shell prompt type su
- enter
- A pop up screen should appear on your TV asking you to grant access for su
- using your FireTV remote select yes and press OK.
- see if issue is solved

Sorry to pick this up again. But i have the same Issue. How have you installed TWRP?
Thanks
I used King root, then installed a custom rom, had too many problems trying to install twrp previously.

Thank you
so you used this guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root...covery-and-a-pre-rooted-rom-all-without-a-pc/ with your rooted Fire Tv2?
i used this guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-the-fire-tv-2-using-kingroot-no-usb-cable-required/. but at the time if i remember i updated my box to stock update 5.0.5 from 5.0.4 then rooted again.
Hi, the trick is to use this Guide http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-root-the-amazon-fire-tv-2/
Worked perfectly
I know this is an old thread but I'll post what worked for me just in case...
On ADBLink, select Root → Mount /system RW. This will make /system writable.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I switch back to RO (read only) once I was done with my changes.
