Hi guys!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I rooted it a while ago using KFFirstAide and bricked it for a while but eventually got it up and running and rooted. An OTA update reset it back to stock. I was able to re-root and disable OTA updates.
Now I see there's a new version of the Fire system - 8.4.6 (I am still on 8.3.0). Is there a way to update to the latest version and retain everything as set, or will I need to just install the update then re-root with KFFirstAide or similar?
Thanks!

You can use KFFA to stop OTA updates. Otherwise when the update happens it will break your root and you will need to reroot your tablet again.

I have Ice-cream sandwich installed on mine using the Energy rom. I'm looking to sell it, so I want to unroot first. I believe I have a backup of the Kindle Fire stock os, but once I back up, how can I unroot it?

I believe once you flash the update, it removes root access and returns it to factory stock. I did that with mine a couple months ago with the 6.3.1 update because something messed up and had to re-root it from the point.

Whatever you do, don't forget to wipe system and factory reset.
Hello, I've recently been trying to update my rotted Kindle Fire from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. I have TWRP on my Kindle. I used the ROM from here, but when after I flash it on my Kindle it just boots into the factory version of 4.1.2. Any help or suggestions on how to install it correctly would be appreciated.

The ROM you linked to is for the Galaxy Nexus, not the Kindle Fire. ROMs for the two devices will likely have completely different assert scripts in the .zip files, and the install will likely be aborted. Did you happen to pay attention to any messages TWRP reported while attempting to install?
I previously updated my note 8 via ota and have stock 4.4.2 so I do not have root access.
I'm wondering if anyone on stock rooted 4.2 has tried using flash fire by @Chainfire on their device... If so, does it work?
If it works... I'm wondering is it possible that flash fire would be able to flash the ota file for 4.4.2 and keep root by using the built in ever root function of flash fire?
Still would like to have a rooted device again...
I got 2013 nexus 7 WiFi with ,5.1.1 lollipop, I rooted it with chainfire, its rooted now and unlock boot. Working all good, I have not got a custom reocvrry? Is that fine? And also will ota updates work? If I update will my root go ?
You don't need a custom recovery. You will only need it if you want to flash a zip. You will need to do that to for example install s custom Rom og kernel.
Since you have rooted your phone you will no longer be able to get OTA updates. If you want to get them you will need to unroot first. To do that open the SuperSU app. Then choose settings and then full unroot. After you do that and reboot you should be able to get OTA updates again. If you install a custom recovery or ROM tho, you will need to go back to full stock as well to use OTA.
If I unroot then I need to do root again by auto root chain fire? And also the latest update is 5.1.1 so when next update? I mean on the nexus 2013 7 is there no last update?

in less than a week the nexus 7 2013 will be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. as long as you have an unlocked boot loader you should have no problem getting root again. you could try cf autoroot but I would either use the Nexus Root Toolkit or fastboot to obtain root again
I Have 2 Fire TV Gen 2 boxes.
Boot Have Fire OS 5.2.6.3.
The First is Brick through a error in twrp flash Installation (Power off while i install xposed).
This had 5.2.6.3 installed an i could root it with King root 4.1 and i had install twrp and Flash the 5.2.6.2 preerooted Version.
Now i Have a new gen 2 Box with 5.2.6.3 but the Kingroot doesnt work on it.
I try Ed 4.1, 5.0.1, 5.3.5 and over Windows Kingroot.
Is there a way to Use King root to root?
Or is there a other way to root or to install the twrp Recovery without root?
The Strange is that at the Old brick fire tv Box the King root has worked and now on the New Box it doesnt work.
All i need is the twrp Recovery installed.
first time root is only possible with a version up to 5.2.1.1
if you have rooted on this version you can install twrp and newer pre-rooted firmware.
no way to install twrp to root after 5.2.1.1
Strange on the fire tv what now has a brick has the root Ing work with 5.2.6.3
Which version is successfully root samsung j200g
I too have this 5.2.6.3 fire stick,.. can i flash those prerooted firmwares or anything like that? thanks.
No.........
