[Q] KFU Stuck trying to remove root checker.

I have been trying to reroot my Kindle Fire for some time now but recently when I try to run KFU it gets to the point where it installs TWRP but gets stuck in there trying to remove the root checker. The only way I can go back and actually use the kindle is by flashing the update.zip from the amazon website. Any help?

Were you actually successful in getting TWRP installed? Have you tried to access it?

It boots into TWRP while its rooting the Kindle. The problem is that it stays there and doesn't continue. TWRP is also missing some options and some text. I have to flash the update to gt out of TWRP

Download this and push it to your sdcard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1286034&d=1346085105
It is a flashable version of TWRP that can be installed in recovery (this is to fix any potential bad installation of TWRP).
Reboot and access TWRP again.
Once in TWRP, enter the following code to remove the root check:
Code:
adb shell mv /system/bin/check_rooted /system/bin/check_rooted.bak
If you get an error message that says:
Code:
mv: can't rename '/system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory
You have nothing to worry about. It just means the "check_rooted" file does not exist.
While in TWRP, you can do whatever else you need to do to root your device or just flash a ROM (they're pre-rooted). If you do flash a ROM, be sure to wipe "system" and "factory reset" first. Otherwise you're looking at possibly needing a factory cable (or firekit) to fix the problem.

[Q] Jackalope update stops Mod Collection?! Help?

Hi All,
As I'm sure you're aware, there was a new Ouya update yesterday (Jackalope), and its stopped the Mod a Collection working?! Here's what I did and what I get now.
My Ouya was rooted, I had installed the Goole Play store using the Mod Collection and Xposed installer. When I turned my Ouya on last night, it automatically starting to download the latest update, even though I set 'Do Not Auto Update' in the Mod Collection. However, when it was trying to download, after a while it rebooted itself and tried again, when it finally downloaded the update, it rebooted and asked me to Click Ok to install the update. So I did, and it got about half way through and went straight to the black screen with OUYA in the middle, and a red Exclamation mark underneath it.
This process went round and round for about half an hour. I searched and saw that lots of people had this with previous updates. So to fix it, I factory reset the box, and it downloaded and went straight through no problems, great!
I then started to download all of my side loaded apps via my Dropbox, such as Xposed installer, Mod Collection, Rootmyouya etc etc, so I could get the play store re-installed.
However, when I went to root the box, it was already showing at Rooted, which I thought was strange, as I've read that updates un-rooted the device?! I thought nothing of it, however, when I went to install the Mod Collection APK, it installed and when I went to open it, it gave me an error at the bottom of the screen, something along the lines of 'could not access android/apps/whitelist' and immediately closed?!!
This is really frustrating as I want to put the Play Store back on, but without the Mod Collection I'm stuck! Xposed installer seems to be ok though.
Any one with any ideas, or having the same problem after the Jackalope update?
This update has also caused another annoying issue, I'm using the Mele F10 Pro remote for the Ouya Menu and XBMC, no problems up till now, after the update the 'home' button on the remote in the ouya menus now does nothing, and when in XBMC it does nothing, however, what was the Context Menu button on the remote for XBMC (the button next to the home button), is now the 'back' button' in XBMC?!!
Help?
Cheers

You can download the latest firmware here:
dlyv5j2269q7v.cloudfront.net/ota/RC-OUYA-1.2.853-r1_ota.zip
Adb push or simply copy the zip file to the root of your Ouya's sdcard. Then reboot to CWM recovery (adb reboot recovery) and select "install zip from sdcard".

We are OUYA FREE and one of our contributors BillMan came up with this step by step allowing you to update without having to wipe your entire system then download the factory image this allows you to install the update while rooted. a quick reminder always reboot and try again anymore questions were always here to help. thanks again goes to BillMan for creating the step-by-step shown below:
"I just know how bad it sucks finding information sometimes, so just share the heck out of it, and please touch it up. Lots of spelling errors
Thanks.
If your Ouya is trying to auto update Try to go to Make, if you can't, restart and try again, you can also try to skip to step: #
1)Go to Make
2)Go to SuperUser
3)Click Play
4)Highlight Xposed Installer (If not listed, you can move on to step 6)
5)Click trash can in upper right corner of screen and Xposed Installer should be removed.
6)Click A button on controller to go back all the way to main menu.
7) If not auto updating on it's own, go to Manage
8)System
9)System Updates
10Start installing the update
11) Super User will come up after installing update, Click on Deny
Make sure to do this otherwise you will have to restart the process over again and it is hard to start with step 1, could result in several restarts and fast clicking until you get it.
12)Once system reboots, go to Make
13)Root My Ouya by Wonder Ekin
14) Click Play
15) Super User may come up, if so, click Allow
16) Should say Rooted, I clicked Start Root and had it do it again just to be safe, you shouldn't have to however. But it hurts nothing to click Start Root anyways
17)Click A twice
18)Click on Xposed Installer
19)Click Play
20) Go to Modules
21) Make sure Check mark is selected in upper left corner of screen
22) Click on Install/Update
23) Click on Reboot
24) Everything in Ouya is working just fine And you have the new system update "

Follow the SDK setup section of this thread to connect your Ouya to your computer. If successfully connected, you can use the command 'adb reboot recovery' to get into recovery mode.

Thanks for your guide - I downloaded it and when it said it would restart and install, it went into CWM recovery, and I can't read the log as it's off the screen (is this because of overscan?) Do I have to revert back to stock recovery before it will install?

Ok so I did this the ghetto way and it worked for me.
Saw the update trying to update let it do its thing then press ok. Reboots into CWM 6.0.3.2 then let it go through untill it states the firmware is not md5 matched of something like that, then I go to top screen and scroll down to Yes Install Zip. Presto takes it boots into Jackalope with the changelog on first screen. I am still rooted and all my apps intact. Only thing I had to reinstall was [MOD][XPOSED]Mod Collection For Ouya(Play Store, Moga Controller Emu) (11202013) for CWM to reinstall because I was getting a this exclamation mark in red! when I loaded back to CWM, lost custome recovery. Once installed CWM I rechecked root was still good I have all my apps intact and no need to wipe and start all over. Have not checked for side load games has I have not hooked this up yet, but my apps work. Hope this helps others save time. Once I updated did full backup again.
don't know what the big deal to start from scratch at least for this update?

[Q] Bricked my Ouya

Hallo,
i bricked my Ouya. I have CWM installed. I started my Ouya and get a Update, then I rebooted in Recovery an I stock there. I took my Keyboard, powered OUYA of, restarted without Ethernet and rebootet to recovry.
Then i format the /system to get rid of mod-Collection. Then i want to install update.zip, but it wasen´t there. Now I have a Ouya only with CWM.
CWM did not find my USB-Stick. And when i connect my Laptop to the Ouya I can not find a USB-Memory. My Ouya-Driver did not recocnize the Ouya!
But the i a topic in CWM load from Sideloading! How can I put a *-ota.zip an the OUYA to flash system angain?
Thanks.

DONE!
I FOUND ADB SIDELOAD *-OTA.ZIP

If anyone has this problem in the future, you could use sideload or you could just adb push ie.
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

I did it this way all the time. But now it doesn't seem to work anymore.
I flashed the latest update I downloaded from https://ouyafw.skumler.net/
and getting this error when applying the update.zip from SDK or sideloading it (both doesn't work)
Code:
assert failed: !less_than_int(1391471878, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
I tried removing this line from the updater-script. Doesn't work. The progress stops with "Installation aborted." without an error code.
seems with further firmwares, there is no way to restore anymore.
PS: I don't have CWM. only Stock recovery and a system that stucks in bootloop even after factory reset.

The firmware on the site you mentioned is not up to date!
Here is the official link for the latest firmware.
If you have adb access, you could try to fastboot CWM recovery.

Help with downgrade

Hi all, I have a rooted fire tv with cwm recovery and rbox boot menu, with software ver 51.1.5.3 on it. I have decided I would like to revert the box back to stock. I'm trying to downgrade the box to ver 51.1.4.0 and then follow this guide to unroot. http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unroot-a-fire-tv-and-switch-back-to-stock-updates-from-amazon/ , however when I reboot into recovery and attempt to install the zip file, I get an error, unable to open file, I have downloaded software from atvnews and one other site, both give same error. I also tried to use one of the downgrade script tools, however it failed also. Any ideas why I can't get a successful downgrade? thanks.
Update: I'm not sure what went wrong, but now when I try to reboot into recovery via adb reboot , or via selecting launch recovery from the rbox boot menu, it just goes to a screen that says "The system update was unsucessful, your device will reboot in few minutes and should resume normal operation"

Nevermind, solved.

Oneplus 3 do not boot after installing OxygenOS 4.0.2

Hello everyone!
My oneplus3 is actually running no OS and I'm having a boot loop.
I will try to explain what happened to me with the most details I can.
Before I ****ed everything up, I think I was running OxygenOS 3.28, not really sure about it but im 100% sure it was below 4.0, and it was rooted with TWRP 3.0.2 installed.
1) Today I had a pop up saying OxygenOS 4.0.2 was available (the official one that pops on the screen on boot) "Yay so coooool Nougat!"
1.1) I downloaded it, 1.4Go, then I pressed install
1.2) TWRP showed up, I didn't know what to do and that's where I ****ed up, I set my phone "factory new" in TWRP.
1.3) Phone restarted fresh new, I thought I had 4.0.2 but naaaaah would've been too easy so the official pop up showed again, I was still 3.28 I think.
1.4) Downloaded it once more, TWRP opened again, this time i was looking for the update i just downloaded in the "install" section. I browsed for quite a while and couldn't find it.
1.5) Master ****-up here: I tried to restore a backup. Then the bootloop happened. The black screen with "Oneplus" written in white. I was able to go back in TWRP by pressing power + volume down
1.6) Tried every kind of restore unsuccessfully, and tried ADB but it wouldn't load. Also TWRP said that I was running no OS when I wanted to turn off my phone for example.
2) I downloaded 4.0.2 from one plus website on my mac, and i flashed the official recovery instead of TWRP.
2.1) Transferred the update from my mac to my PC (seems important to me) and installed ADB & everything on both PC/O+3.
2.2) so adb worked in forceboot, i've been able to flash official recovery, tried once more to wipe & everything, but clearly I have no OS now, as TWRP said.
2.3) so i had the update in a folder (not a zip, probably due to the download being done from a mac), I made it a .ZIP with winrar, but "adb sideload update.zip" crashed at 0% everytime
2.4) looked at the archive then i noticed it was first a folder "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883" then inside it i had the content like "boot.img" & everything. So i zipped it again but without that first folder because I thought it was the problem, but it kept on crashing 0%.
2.5) restarted my PC, looked on several forums, but i couldn't find any fix. Now adb can't even open update.zip anymore, it fails even before 0%.. I tried naming it .zip.zip, keeping the name "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip", using a third party app to allow more RAM to the cmd app...
I've been trying hard for 4 hours but I still have a O+3 without any OS... My last idea is downloading "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip" from my PC so it downloads it directly .zip unlike on my mac...
I hope I said everything, sorry for the long post but i'm desperate.. thanks for your attention,
Valentin

Thank you for answering! unfortunately i've already tried that and my problem occurs when i try to sideload the update from adb recovery... "couldn't load 'update.zip'"
I dont really know what to do now because I think my only option here is to load the OS through adb as I can't boot my phone to get the update zip inside a specified folder to load it from internal storage.

Try to install the new official TWRP version i think it is 3.0.3-0 through fastboot. Boot up TWRP, wipe every partiton and copy the update.zip onto the phone. You can copy it by connecting it normaly via USB(like you would do in OOS) and install the zip file afterwards.

install stock recovery and then try installing official OS. Or install modded twrp 3.0.2-1.28 and then try installing Freedom OS 2.3 via sideload or through internal storage.

Stop fiddling with the ROM. Download the ROM afresh directly to your Windows PC/laptop. Check the md5. Then start experimenting with the other suggestions but don't again meddle with the ROM!

I read your post again and here are a few things:
* Don't update Stock OOS via "System updates" in Settings if you are rooted and have TWRP
* Back up your data before updating, wiping or doing something with your phone.
* For the ADB error, see the FAQ #17 in the guide I provided.
Now, try this:
Flash TWRP via fastboot > boot to TWRP > connect your phone to your PC and copy the full Stock OOS v4.0.2 OTA to your phone > reboot to fastboot and flash Stock Recovery.
It didn't touch the internal storage. So, try to install from internal storage when you are in Stock Recovery.
Let me know if it worked.
