Develop Bugs

[Q] This is probably a stupid question but I need to know.

I am a complete noob and I have a question. I am going to root my kindle fire with "Kindle Fire Utility 0.98+" and I know that I have to install permanent root, but what else on the menu do I need to install, and is there any particular order to install them, and how to UN-root if I have too.
Sorry for a stupid question but I am not accustom to these things like the younger generation.
Thanks,
Scotty

Make sure what kindle version you got. You don't want to brick it. All the tools you need should be in kfu. Good luck

I have version 6.3.2 on the kindle fire. I have done research and reading but can not figure out if I need to install eveyrthing that is on the menu or what these things do. Once I figure that out, I can go ahead and root but not until.
Thank you for your reply,
Scotty

If all you need to do is root, just select the root option in the menu. It will install everything you need.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much awidawad for the reply. I think I only need root. Will I be able to Un-root if I need to or do I need something else ?

I know there is, but the only option I can give you is to uninstall superuser when you are rooted. That will not give anything access to root. Is this the same as unrooting? I don't know.
Also, you could flash the stock update.zip after taking appropriate measures in TWRP and wiping the things you need to to go back to the unmodded kindle fire OS.

Yes, just download one of the update files from KFU and install them and you will be unrooted. Or uninstall superuser after deleting su in the /system directory.

[Q] Kindle Fire 2 (10.4.1) Red Screen Recovery

Hi there,
I would like to ask if there is someone that could help me solve my problem.
I was going to install a custom ROM from Hashcode (OFFICIAL CM10.1), but before I had a chance to flash it I stumbled upon a problem when I tried to flash TWRP from TWEEZERMOD 1-CLICK cordless METHOD, I downloaded TWRP ran it and while it was installing
it rebooted my Kindle Fire 2 I could see Kindle Fire logo and after that flowed by RED SCREEN and no way out of there, I can turn it off when I
long press the power button for 20 seconds, but after I turn it on same thing happens Kindle Fire logo and followed by RED Screen.
I purchased a fastboot cable from Ebay
and after plugging it into my KF2 and then into my laptop, I'm stuck at Fastboot screen with a traffic light BLINKING GREEN.
Can anyone help me with the next steps, as I have no idea what to do, and I tried to google this with no luck.
Thank in advance ​

Actually I followed your instructions at the beggining of your thread and they worked like a charm, the KF First Aid didn't for some reason,
But anyway thank you lots.
For people who have the same problem just download this tool from mindmajick
Restoration tool link:
Once downloaded run the tool and in the options choose
1st Check fastboot status
2nd Erase cache and userdata
3rd Restore-Boot and recovery
4th then wait after your Kindle will be booting for a bit, at some point I thought I was stuck at the booting logo but it was just preparing your KF2
SUCCESS =D

Hi there again,
I'm completely lost,
I don't even know how to mount raw system image file nor what it is,
maybe if that is fine for you, could you send me a step by step guide please.
Kind REGARDS :fingers-crossed:

Huh? The instructions there are simpler than rooting and installing custom ROM.
You might be better off with this tool. And you can ask the OP any questions you have since he's very active

Red Screen Kindle Fire 2 Help
I have had a look at that one and for some reason the KF First Aide cannot find my device,
it keeps giving me this message whenever I try to Completly restore or Display the fastboot Status
"The system cannot find the path specified".
I would like to try it your way but as I don't understand the terms used it your instructions or procedures I'm unable to do so,
that is why I asked for you step by step guide.
So when I got to your post I went straight into last page number 4
Followed these steps

And one more question,
I just check the list of my apps and I see that my super user is still there and working,
does that mean my Kindle is still rooted?
If so is there any way I could install Gapps on it, the version of my Kindle Fire 2 is 10.4.1
Thank you:highfive:

Hello there,
Yes I do know that, but as it didn't work for me to install TWRP which is quite important for flashing a new ROM
I will be doing a step by step guide that worked for me.
You see I was following the instruction for Hashcode CM 10.1 and when I tried to install TWRP on my KF2
I got stuck at the Red Screen, and then I had to unbrick my KF2, thanks to Mindmajick I unbricked.

I used bin4ry ver. 30 to root 8.4.1. today I discovered I was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I still have root and Google Play Store. Tested by downloading Android Firewall and gave it root access permission. I thought the OTA upgrade would break root???

I rooted earlier today without any trouble. I thought I was on 8.4.1 but when I just looked I was at 8.4.3. Not sure if I rooted before or after the update. I disabled OTA with KF First Aide so I thought that it wouldn't update. Either way, I'm rooted and on 8.4.3 with all the google goodies installed and running.

Did you take the update??? If not you should be OK to root. If you did then I'm not sure, you might be able to but then again it may brick your device. Sorry it's not the answer you are looking for but it's the best I have.

Yeah it updated automatically. So there's no way to reverse the update huh?

Haven't seen a good root method for 6.3.3 yet, these things take time...
If you don't want to brick it don't try rooting.

[Q] Rooting Kindle Fire 1st Gen 6.3.4

Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.
