kfu says "adbd cannot run in production builds"
burritoroot and superuser was deleted before trying again with kfu
6.2.2 update amazon:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-6.2.2_D01E_3205220.bin
Confirmed, now adb root access and recovery are nuked.
Edit:
I've been talking to jcase via irc, and he'll be releasing an updated Burrito Root shortly.
Wow. This is getting quite annoying.
And there is still no way to block OTA updates, unless you install CM7?

Wow, after two weeks of constantly reading posts and watching videos I finally got the courage to install TWRP and flash CM7 last night. Timing could not have been better. Will now need to wait until an updated stock Rom hits the forums before considering going back. Unless anyone can confirm that that any of the current stock based Roms survived or how that OTA app worked out this time around? I think they are just shooting themselves in the foot with this block all Root attitude they have going. I would have been perfectly happy with the buy everything you will ever need from us device as long as it didn’t stop me from running apps I know the system can run but you have chosen not to allow me to run software on my own device as I assumed I had voided my warranty out the box, actually before I ordered it. Anyhow I have no beef with CM7 as it’s much preferred. I’m just going to port over as much as is available like Silk & Keyboard just so it still has some of the uniqueness of being a Kindle. I guess I lucked out that before I ever knew about Root that I bought a device with an unlocked boot loader and had Sudo installed on the stock Rom. Hell of a rant, Piece!
Edit: wow was I ever in a bad mood when I made this post. All is good now but for a second I was about to ask the developer who was working on porting the stock launcher if he could put together a version that links the top links to the corisponding area inside the Google Market and take Amazon entirely out of the picture.

You are truly amazing.
Hey guys,
I never thought it could happen but I got my hands on an unboxed Fire TV from November 2014. (as the seller said it was preordered.. so it should have a very old firmware on it).
I'd like to root, bootloader unlock and put custom recovery on it, anything I have to avoid except not allowing the thing to OTA update?
And how can I get root the fastest and the most risk-free way? Block ota through router and then put towelroot on it asap I guess?

Check out the aftvnews.com web site, it has all answers to your questions.
No need to rush anything if you block updates on your router. Just follow AFTVnews.com/start and it will guide you through the whole process. The most important thing is getting through the initial setup without updating. The guide will walk you through that as well. Just select "no" when asked if you've completed the initial setup.

No, there is no root method for the Fire TV 2. (The gaming edition is exactly the same as the non-gaming edition.)
Staying on as old of a software version as you can is your best bet to ensure compatibility with a possible future rooting method. However, the Fire TV 2 has a lot of bugs, so you'll probably want to take the next 1 or 2 updates. See here for how to block updates.
somehow all my routers (and I tested a couple) dont really block the urls given on atvnews.com.
At least I can still ping them .. not sure if they block the updates though.
So how can I prevent updating when not sure if the urls are actually blocked? I read somewhere that I would have to pull the network cable at certain points and reinsert it later, can someone point me to where I find the info about that method? Thanks

Try downloading this file with your PC: http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ueller-ota-51.1.6.3_user_516012020-signed.bin
If you can't download it, then your blocks are working.
Your other best option to block updates is to use OpenDNS.
blocking worked correctly but unfortunately this box I got already has the 51.1.4.0 Software Version installed- so no rooted box for me I guess.. =(
Thanks anyway for your guys' help

Where you from?
51.1.4.0 ist just a good, but last good fw, to unlock bootloader when you root.

You need a eMMc-Adapter or a person who had one. To root your device.
If you lived in germany I can help you.
A good guide is this one here -> http://solderwiresandplastic.com/
Or read this book here : [GUIDE] Hardware root via emmc chip (requires soldering!)
But pls keep your device on this fw!

Hi there,
A while back I updated my already rooted Z1C to the newest firmware 14.6.A.1..236 via PC Companion. I thought it was just a minor update so I did not think of losing my root access
As far as I know all I can do now in order to get back my lovely root privileges is by going back to Kitkat, install Dualboot Recovery, put my pre rooted Android on my phone and flash it.
So here is my question:
Is there any fancy way of doing this more directly? I would much prefer not having to fiddling around with backups, which may or may not restore all my data...
I would also be interested in why I can't just flash the flashable.zip directly onto my phone using Flashtool or similar. As an IT student I would really like to learn this kind of stuff
Thanks in advance!

You can get root with KingRoot app and then you can change it to SuperSu with this guide:
Code:
www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
(I know that the guide is somewhere in XDA, but can't find it.) I have tested the procedure and for me it worked.

Thanks for your fast reply. However, after googling the App while the download was still going I found several articles which found the App not trustworthy. Trying to download the App from their site directly even gave my a very clear warning. So I'd rather use something else :/
I think the best reasons against the App can be found here:
https://www.quora.com/Is-KingRoot-the-one-tap-Chinese-rooting-app-legit-and-safe
If, however, a more experienced and credible user (sorry foguh, this is nothing personal ) can recommend the App as well, I might give it a shot...

There are 381 pages about KingRoot, I am not entirely sure is it only about people begging for specific root methods, but I believe there could be some convincing posts about it. And I don't trust KingRoot that much myself, that is why I included the post how to replace KingRoot with SuperSu.
Nothing taken personally though, just trying to provide solution for you, which worked for me
I am still unsure of the App but as it seems to be the easiest option I installed it and rooted my phone with it.
Everything went quite smoothly. One thing I really didn't like however is the required internet connection during rooting. Normally this tells me immediately that its fetching some malware and I get my hands off...
Of course I also immediately replaced their App with SuperSU but I am still worried it might placed more on my phone than it claims.... Let's hope for the best
Anyhow, thanks a lot to you foguh! It's really nice to get so quick and helpful responses and I appreciate the effort

Glad I could help!
As far as I am aware, the internet connection during rooting process is for fetching the correct root method for the phone (and that damn Purify app.)
But if you are worried that there could be some other leftovers, you can monitor the network traffic of your phone to be 100% sure. And of course go through the files manually. (Personally, I haven't bothered to do it, I trust people too much)
The easiest way to say "Thanks!" is to hit the button below!
Hello guys and gals, we are coming closer to the update which I strongly believe will mess around with our phones to force a return. How can we stop this update on a device already up to date? Do far I have tried package disabler but it doesn't show system update 1 and system update 2... Any suggestions?

Same. I installed Hydra-Rom (excellent rom btw) and then uninstalled all update packages with Titanium Backup. I think that'll cover it. People are pretty confident in freezing the same packages with Package Disabler if still on unrooted stock. I think rooting and a custom rom is a good idea at this point as it opens up more options if Samsung keep doing crappy things from here on in.

For me one of the coolest features is the secure folder, and to my knowledge all the custom roms so far break that because they break knox. That's a big minus for me.

There's an app on the store which backs up any and everything (requires root). It also allows you to freeze/disable packages (like package disabler does) or flat out remove them from phone, which is probably overkill and can cause issues if you do it to the wrong packages.
Seeings I'll never use the updater again I opted to go with that. Hasn't caused me any issues so far and can still get OTA updates via Hydra-Rom's inbuilt OTA app if it did happen to get updated again.

I'm tempted to try hydra but the downfall for me is I like everything to be as stock as possible. There's always a feature in custom roms which isn't added and it irritates me. What did you disable? Are you running hydra old kernel for the 100% battery or which kernel did you choose?

Its pretty simple, download twrp recovery, put the newest su binary on the Sd card, flash the twrp with odin using the ap button, one in recovery allow modifications, then install Su binary, then reboot to recovery, then install hydra rom it will give you options of what you want added to the rom etc. If ever you mess up just open Samsung smart switch go to the "more" tab then click second tab and insert your model number and seriel and it does the rest for you (this is if you want to revert back to stock)

Hydra is very very similar to stock. I didn't activate any extra features in the setup process. What I liked about it is that all the bloat wear is not installed, and phone is smother than with stock and has better battery life.
I am running the new Hydra on a replacement Note7 (green battery and 100%)

I'm also othe latest hydra-kernel and replacement Note. The installer is pretty comprehensive so you can retain most of the stock functionality. If you're sticking close to stock the most suitable options are labelled as such so it's reasonably straight forward.

I am still considering this since I am not sure I want to live without knox and the Samsung secure folder. I plan on returning the phone in a month or so anyway, so maybe better to simply put up with Samsung's INCREDIBLY INFURIATING battery restriction. Boy they are really p1ssing me off by doing this!

If you are returning it then out touch it. As far as secure folder goes you can get hydra rom for example it has secure folder built in. Knox though is more of a burden than useful.
Hi all
Hope this is the correct area...
My hubby bought me a S20 plus for my birthday through a local dealer.
I noticed a few issues like not being able to use biometrics or install certain apps.
I've since found out the phone has been rooted.
I've tried to do a factory reset, but this hasn't helped.
I've downloaded root checker and it confirms the phone is rooted. I've downloaded SuperSU yet is won't work as ver 2.82 claims it's for an older Version of Android.
I've downloaded solid explorer to delete the root access files such as Busybox and SU however I cannot find these files in the system folder or the system/bin folder.
Can anyone advise on how I can unroot my phone? I am unable to install certain needed apps due to this.
Phone details below. Sorry am unable to upload pics.
UI Version = 1
Android Version = 10
Let me know if other info is needed.
I've even tried calling the Samsung Center and they are unable to assist...
Thanks all

You will need to get hold of the stock firmware from somewhere like Sammobile and flash back to stock using ODIN. There's tons of guides knocking about on here for the step by step. The damage is done though as far as any Knox related features go, it's like a fuse that blows when you root and you can never fix that.
Having said that, biometrics should have never been affected by rooting so that's a bit unusual. Flash stock and set up from scratch then go from there, could be faulty also
Thanks for the guidance Dave. I'll search the forums for the steps.
For clarity, when I say biometrics didn't work, it works allow me to record etc, but when I tried to enable it, like on my banking app, it wouldn't allow me. This is how I eventually figured out my phone was rooted. While I know the benefits of being rooted, a normal everyday user like myself, certainly won't benefit from it.
I've had a Samsung my entire life, and always saw the secured by knox logo... When you say damage has been done, does this mean that all my security in the device, such as my banking details etc, may be compromised?
Jees. I hope not. As this would really freak me out...
Ok so Finding the firmware wasn't to difficult. Sanmobile quite easy to navigate.
Just a query please... My phone base band version lists g985fxxu1atb2 however the closest I could find to this is G985FXXU1ATBM
Is this ok or does it have to be the exact same description?
Shoo. Lol. Really hope I'm going to be able to get this right **insert nervous smile emoticon here**

The last letters are the region/operator of the Rom. Not necessarily has to be the exact description, the really important are the first that indicate model number.

Can you unlock your phone with biometrics? Im guessing only the banking apps don't work because it's rooted. If i remember correctly most banking apps and maybe Google pay(not sure about that) stop working after rooting because the phone is "compromised" and it's not safe. You have to hide your root status from these apps and they will work properly then. Maybe someone else can help you with that because i do not remember how to do it.
Hi Marto
Yes, biometrics does work, although not really good. But that's probably due to the hectic screen protector.
Correctly so, it's mostly the banking / payment apps that won't work, and I can't check or download any software updates... Although I belive this can also be done manually....
But wow, there's an app that hides the root status? That might be a whole lot easier than re flashing. Truthfully I'm Sh!tting myself at the thought of attempting this ????

if the phone was bought as new, go back to the dealer and demand a new one that is not rooted.
could also be that your husband rooted the phone and installed software that keep tabs on what you do.
