After dabbling around in some murky waters trying to achieve root, and going trough some 2010 stuff I did, I did discover a method I devised back then works to some extent, strangely.
Using fastboot (boot) to a TWRP recovery image (TWRP_v2.8.6.0_honami-f2fs_from_cm12.1_150423.img), mounting /system, and pushing a version of busybox, bash and using the supersu su binary already in the TWRP recovery image.
boot-new.img.bz2.zip (rename to boot-new.img.bz2 before extracting -.Just TWRP_v2.8.6.0_honami, with a different kernel and dt image included to boot from fastboot)
bash and busybox i compiled from git and debian sources yesterday/today
Basically this; (use only for reference.)
Code:
# Magically push all files in place here.
# Optionally, move /system/bin/sh out of the way and link /system/bin/sh to bash
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/bash && chown 0.0 /system/bin/bash"
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox && chown 0.0 /system/bin/busybox"
# TWRP
#./"$ADB" shell "cp /supersu/su /system/bin/_su"
./"$ADB" shell "cp /supersu/su /system/bin/su"
./"$ADB" shell "cp /supersu/supolicy /supersu/su /system/xbin"
./"$ADB" shell "cp /supersu/libsupol.so /system/lib/"
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 0644 /system/lib/libsupol.so && chown 0.0 /system/lib/libsupol.so"
./"$ADB" shell "cp -r /supersu /system/app/SuperSU"
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 0755 /system/app/SuperSU && chown 0.0 /system/app/SuperSU && chmod 0644 /system/app/SuperSU/SuperSU.apk"
#
#./"$ADB" shell "chmod 4755 /system/bin/_su && chown 0.0 /system/bin/_su"
#./"$ADB" shell "echo "busybox su -c "_su"" > /system/bin/su" # or busybox su -c "_su -c /system/bin/sh-org"
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su* && chown 0.0 /system/bin/su system/xbin/su*"
# Quite dangerous - Suggest moving passwd when in normal use
./"$ADB" shell "echo "root::0:0:0:/root:/system/bin/sh" > /system/etc/passwd"
./"$ADB" shell "chmod 0644 /system/etc/passwd"
Next step, to remount /system with write permissions from a normal boot, I think, would be to modify boot.img/default.prop and set "ro.secure=0"
Thought I had done this prior, I run with touch disabled as I cracked my screen (impressively massive drop of at least 30 cm! - onto object.. ) ... I could not remount system when I first tried.
Notes:
If i adb in early i can use supersu/su to gain root, when system is loaded busybox su -c ""supersu/"su" works. - NO AUTH
Hm, updated SuperSU via google play and suddenly it realized it was rooted . = ) Still keeping the supersu/su intact in /system/*bin
Thankfully I've been unsuccessful in grabbing root from /data/local/tmp this way as of now. Seems the permissions are reset. Though getting root without any auth is a serious matter no matter how you flip the coin. At least it's not as easy as pushing an archive to /data/local/tmp and running busybox su -c su. Also with a modified busybox you could easily skip the part where I write a /etc/passwd with no password.. Incredibly handy if you need root without Android running, say with setprop ctl.stop zygote, media and bootanim. But incredibly dangerous!
Fastboot to attached TWRP and install [STABLE][2016.02.02] SuperSU v2.65 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 - drop the zip to somewhere on the device and use the install function, i installed supersu via google play first. Attached is the kernel image i'm using. On a side-note, the script above failed .
Apart from this, the attached gnu-tools i will have to update... Got a neon flags optimized for out cpu and all, but that's for a different day.
Cheers, have a good one mates
Noob question: what is the difference between using this method for root and kingroot method? Which is better to use?
I've not checked Kingroot. But my thought is not to rely on nasty kernel exploits and have an as clean as possible root. Kingroot was not working when i first started this post. Also i dont leave system read write mountable. To do system modification i fastboot the TWRP image

Kingroot give you root but not supported and their binary are weired but when you replace it with supersu you can't mount system read/write cause of ric but thanks to Chainfire and his tools I find way to root with kingroot and replace it by supersu and disable ric
Noticed my boot img was rebooting sometimes, went off and updated my compiler toolchain and had a look at the kernel and recent developments.
Had a look at X-Honami v6 and ported some parts of that effort to the latter Sony kernel used in 14.6.a.1.216.
* Messed around with memutils and implemented ARM_PLD_64BYTE and USE_LDRDSTRD_OVER_LDMSTM atop memutils from the Xperia-dev unified kernel. - this needs some testing but appears to be stable at least with the options turned on.
* Slight overclock of GPU to 533 mhz, and underclock to 27 mhz on idle.
* Has kexec hardboot
I cannot busybox su -c su with this kernel. Which is only useful for developers anyway. You'd be wise in running some benchmarks before and after the flash.
Kernel needs to be flashed via fastboot.

Here's a quote from another XDA thread which can help you get rid of superuser without voiding the guarantee
XDA thread said:
adb shell
su
Step 6) If you get "permission denied" or something like that from step 5a/5b,
CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR PHONE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY UNROOTED!
Step 7) If you don`t want to void your warranty, you should unistall applications that require root, especially Superuser
To date, I have rooted and unrooted my phone (Backflip) 3 times without any problems. In case your phone can`t be booted up, only to the bootloader or recovery, DO NOT WORRY! You can use the adb (android debug bridge) to flash in the stock recovery, push/pull the updates and reboot the phone into recovery mode or normal mode!!!
Useful ADB commands
Reboot Phone
adb shell
reboot
Reboot Phone into recovery mode
adb shell
reboot recovery
Flash a new recovery image temporarily (resets when rebooting)
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Flash a new recovery image that does not reset when rebooting
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
adb shell
cd system
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
rm recovery.img
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
exit
exit
Push file to sdcard
adb push file.blah /sdcard/file.blah
Push file to sdcard
adb pull /sdcard/file.blah file.blah

OR try this:
* The first step is to enable USB debugging mode on your device. You can enable USB debugging on your phone by going to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and check mark USB Debugging.
* Now Download one click root file, extract the contents and save them on your desktop [or wherever your prefer].
* Now connect your phone to the computer and double click on Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root file.
* Now simply click One-Click Root 2.1 or 2.2 on the screen and follow the onscreen command mode instructions to complete the root process. Please note that for One-click root 2.1, your phone needs to be running Android 2.2 2.1 Eclair and for One-click Root 2.2, Android 2.2 Froyo.
* In case you are using this application to unroot your phone then simply follow the instructions above and click on One-click Unroot.
Old superoneclick versions don't have unroot option. The new versions have. If superuser is still there after unroot, you can uninstall it like uninstalling other app.
Thanks every all but i dont want of new flash a,d log time i do z4root and has unroot and superoneclick no,the version old have goot unroot but this not,and remember ive got defy im not Galaxy I9000 S
Thanks go to goroh_kun, ayati and DoomLord. All the usual warnings about attempting to root a phone apply. This works on a phone with build number V16R24C, which is current as of this writing. I can't speak for any later updates.
You will need the following:
Java SDK (required for android dev kit – get the JDK): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
ADK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
ADB driver: http://spf.fmworld.net/oss/usb_driver/f-05d/index.html
F-05D rooting files: http://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/files/F05Droot.zip
zergRush files (tested with v4): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Optional:
- a terminal application of your choice
- busybox installer from the market
- English versions of the .bat files (remove the .txt extension): http://pastebin.com/RBCWvzES and http://pastebin.com/EQfjpDAM
Part 1, installing the ADB driver:
1. Install the JDK
2. Install the ADK
3. Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini file.
4. Add 0x04C5 on a separate line at the bottom. Save and close the file.
5. Reboot the computer or restart adb
6. On the phone, press home, settings, applications – toggle Unknown sources to On.
7. Same place, press development and toggle USB debugging to On.
8. Connect the phone to the PC, and when prompted, navigate to the location where you extracted the ADB driver.
Part 2, rooting the phone:
1. Extract the zergRush and rooting files to the same folder. (put the English versions in the same spot if want to use them instead).
2. With the phone connected and in debug mode, run the f05dsu.bat file (DO NOT RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT RUN AS ADMIN).
3. You first will get asked to go to Settings, Setting my body, Step/activity counter app, Pedometer use, is turned On. Press space after doing that.
4. You will then get asked to toggle the same setting OFF once, then back to ON. After doing that, press space and the phone will reboot
5. Wait for the phone to reboot and connect over USB properly. Press space when ready.
6. Files will be transferred over and the phone rooted. If you don't get any errors, press space and wait for the phone to reboot again.
7. The phone should now be rebooted, and you can install Busybox and Superuser from the market.
I had trouble getting the Busybox installers to work properly at first – the stericson one would wipe su and require re-running the f05dsu.bat, and the jrummy one would simply not start properly. I suggest trying the jrummy16 installer first just to see if it runs. In the end I had to do things manually to get it installed, but once that was done both installers worked fine.
Part 3, optional, installing Busybox manually:
1. If superuser has been lost, re-root the phone.
2. Open up your favorite terminal application and enter the following manually:
Code:
su
soff
mount -o rw,remount /system /system
dd if=/data/local/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox
chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
dd if=/data/local/su of=/system/xbin/su
chown root.root /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
echo insmod /data/local/lsm_disabler.ko > /system/xbin/soff
chmod 755 /system/xbin/soff
At this point you should be able to do a "which su" and get /system/xbin/su as a response. If you don't get any response, Busybox is not properly installed (start over). Doing a "ls -ls /system/xbin/su" should also NOT return a symbolic link to Busybox – if it does, you'll need to copy over su from /data/local again. The same goes for soff. Once this is done, start up jrummy's Busybox installer to confirm the installed version of Busybox, and upgrade it if you want.
Thanks very much, worked well but sadly I managed to boot loop my phone after rooting it.
Now I need to SIM unlock the phone as the factory unlock code is gone.
F05D rooting
Hi there i have successfully rooted my Fujitsu F05D have root access but I can't seem to loads busy box, I have permission through superuser and it goes through the motions but at the end it says " install unsuccessful".
The files are in the system/bin folder but something is wrong. if I use busy box installer jrimmy16 it just say installing and keeps going and never stops if I got to to scripts and click fix file permissions
" run script" it too just spins round and round..
hmm any hints guys.
Don't do a forced install or whatever it's called, that's how I bootlooped and later SIM locked mine, still yet to send it back haha.
Hello, is this working?? I want to root my Docomo Fujitsu Arrows X F-10.. And also my phone keeps on rebooting Please help.. Any ideas why?

I have a Blu Dash 3.5 and would like to install clockworkmod recovery and enable root access, but so far have not found anything. Could you help me?
thank you
I tried using SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak, zroot but all without success.
Anyone have any other option?

I managed to set up the android SDK on ubuntu but I get permission denied message when trying to copy the files to the /system
I suppose I have to remount the partition in RW to be able to put the files but no idea how to do this.

Well you can't without it being rooted, right now I just don't care about it anymore it's just a phone, & $30 isn't worth just freeing up some space. No guarantee that will make it run smoother without crashes either, that could just be a result of interface, so a bit of speed don't seem worth it to me, I have my own ringtones with ringdroid so I'm happy.
Everything having to do with extracting the boot.img requires it to be rooted otherwise I know enough about enough crapola already I could make that all spiffy and zabam if I wanted. I would just literally edit all the img files and provide a simple update.zip given I could get signing to work!
unfortunately I get nothing from fastboot at all, not sure it would help though. oem unlock stuff is all I recall about that besides it being a great wau to flash images to the phone
let me know if you make any progress, I'll put in my effort if you do anything at all that intices me to find a path to progress

fenrixarena, hope you get to find any progress on rooting this phone. I also agree with you that it is no worth the time or effort with this kind of phone but I think that the challenge is interesting . In my case I have no idea on how you may root it but I am sure it is possible i guess it all in find another compatible boot.img that can be rooted, right?

What is the address of the site that charges $ 30? We can verify that other users would like to do and split the cost ...
I managed to make root ...
I found the CWM recovery and stock recovery for Qsmart.
I was very curious if it would work in BLU and ended up installing the CWM with fastboot. It did not work, the screen just stays with the BLU and not access the recovery.
Then I installed stock recovery and did not work ...
But I realized that Windows recognized the device connected and I recognized two units with unsupported format.
then returned to the prompt and saw that the ADB was working. I used the command 'adb shell' and to my surprise was how the cursor #
So without wasting time already put su and busybox in /system/ bin and superuser.apk in /system/app, I changed the permissions and restarted the phone. And the root was working perfectly. :victory:
Only one problem, I do not have the recovery installed.
I wonder how I can help you to make root without losing recovery
>>
I use Windowns 7 Pro x64 bits.
I installed the drivers in the SuperOneClick version 2.3.3.
With the drivers installed could use fastboot and adb command.
Turning on the phone + vol - access mode fastboot / bootloader
It would be good to get root without losing the recovery. Because we need him to compile a clockworkmod recovery.
I used the romdump and got the following files:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rQL4bfhfPRZXhhZkg1Mkx5SHc/edit?usp=sharing
I used the mkfs.yaffs2 to convert the file system.tar for system.img
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5rQL4bfhfPRMGdaNnQ4b1RwclU/edit?usp=sharing
This system.img would function on another device?
okay, I am having one problem, what did you type for the permissions?
I've got superuser.apk pushed and the su in the /system/bin but when i try to chmod 777 it returns to -r- after I reboot!
Here's howto manually back up now that I have recovery adb root:
cat /proc/mtd
Then just cat (mtd#) > /sdcard/(image.img)
You can restore via fastboot flash

interesting, I got a cwm4s12.img that's larger(4.51) and because of having a 64bit laptop without 32bit support I had to use a smaller ADB (158kb) to be able to recognize the phone and only on regular usb debugging does superoneclick install drivers which was useless since I needed the drivers to work in recovery.
If those files don't work for you I will upload mine
I got my files from foreign thread, and since I download so many versions and custom versions of programs like adb I'm not sure where it came from !!

Now we need a recovery. I'm trying to learn how to compile cwm, but it is very complicated.
I just rooted my ATT S3 4.3. I did everything the tutorial said to do except when it got the part wherr odin reboots ur phone, i had to reboot it myself yo makr it go in cwm recovery. So once I was done rooting my phone and turned it on for the 1st time I instantly was greeted with superuser has stopped and security violations. So I tried random fixes from google and it keepa teling me there is no binary code. I can't figure out how to fix this, can anyone help me?

I can't find it anymore. It was on this forum and it said it was for att S3 phones. Is there an area where all the ways to root are?
This is what root checker pro gave me as the results.

Try Chainfire's CF autoroot with SuperSU, including google play SSU update to App? It sounds like you failed to reboot into recovery first before doing a normal boot. After flashing via odin, the root is temporary and will be wiped during a normal boot, unless you first reboot into recovery. So, you have to uncheck the reboot after flash option in odin. After successful flash, pull usb cable and boot into recovery using three button method.
Did you use CF autoroot? Try it again.

I did reboot into recovery. I remeber the files I downloaded were named clockword mod and another was called superboot with cwm. Don't k ow if that helps.
I'm having a big issue though, I had tried fixing it by flashing dif ways, now whe I try tk flash it. When it loads up in download mode, my phone turns off or of ot doesn't do that, after I flash my phone and it reboots, it shows a red screen.
EDIT:
I just tried that root method you suggested and I still have the same issues. I don't know what to do!
EDIT 2:
I fixed it by using this site http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/12/Fix-Root-Problem-on-Android-4.3-for-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note2-Note3.html. Specifically, these instructions:
Download and install the latest APK for SuperSU like MrW0lf suggested.
I was having the same exact problem (unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped), so I downloaded the latest UPDATE-SuperSU file and extract it to have supersu APK, put it on my SD card in my phone and installed it from there.
It was strange because the version that was already on my phone was the same 1.89 version that I downloaded, but regardless, when I clicked on the APK, it saw it as an update, it asked to disabled knox, and worked like a charm.

PS: this is the root method I had 1st followed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726960
** DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I DO THIS AS A HOBBY AND SHARE MY FINDINGS IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE FINDS THEM USEFUL. **
** THIS WORKED ON MY DEVICE BUT IT MAY NOT WORK ON YOURS. APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK **** This method is designed for Amazon fire phone. Do not use it on other devices unless you are familiar with Android file system and are able to apply proper modifications. **
This has been tested with the unlocked US version running 4.6.1.
This procedure installs superSU root binaries and busybox on your system.
Requirements
Make sure your PC can communicate with your fire phone via adb.
The success of this method depends on following the procedure very carefully. So read the instructions and make sure you understand every step before you try it.
Procedure
1- Install and run Kingroot 4.0. You can google and download it or you can use the one in the attached zip file. When Kingroot runs it is all in Chinese, but basically you need to be connected to the internet for it to work. It will do its thing and show progress up to 100% after which you can exit the program. Now your phone is rooted. The following steps replaces the Kinguser with SuperSU.
2- Unzip the attached file in your adb directory and then open an adb terminal and make sure the PC can see your phone (you can check that by typing adb devices). Then type the following:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
adb shell
3- In the shell that you get type the following and make sure you give the permission when the phone prompts you:
Code:
su
4- Continue by typing the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/daemonsu && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /data/local/tmp/busybox >/system/xbin/busybox && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/busybox
daemonsu -d &
The key is to keep this session running while you continue with the rest, so be careful with typos and monitor this window for any errors.
5- At this point, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone, open the Kinguser app, open settings (the wheel at the top right corner of the screen), Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission. The app will self-uninstall.
6- Uninstall the other two Kingroot programs that are still on your phone (KingRoot and the other one with the blue icon and Chinese text under it).
7- Back to the adb terminal, and type the following:
Code:
cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/bin/rt.sh
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/bin/shipclean
rm /system/bin/start-ssh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install_recovery.sh
rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf
busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu
rm -rf /system/usr/iku
rm /system/kroot_*
rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf
rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.RushRoot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.kinguser
rm -rf /data/data-lib/king
Again, leave the adb terminal window running and go to your phone.
8- Install superSU (from the attached file) on your phone, run it, and let it update the SU binary.
9- Reboot the phone. After about 5 minutes your root is ready.
Hint: It is a good idea to disable Amazon device client platform, DCP platform contracts, and two apps called System Updates in Amazon settings. They are responsible for regular updates, constant chatter with Amazon servers, and possible patching of your root exploit. Also disable Kinesis service which is responsible for major battery drain and heating. You will find it under settings, display, configure motion and gesture settings. Disable all.
Troubleshooting
1- Most of the problems that I noticed people have encountered is due to not reading the instructions fully. So make sure you read the OP word by word.
2- If you miss a step or mess up something go back to installing Kingroot and start over from the beginning.
3- If instant video or some other Amazon app doesn't work it is because you should run them at least once prior to rooting the phone.
4- Finally, I noticed that with an AT&T sim card in the phone Kingroot fails (why am I not surprised?) Either a reboot occurs in the middle of rooting or it completes the cycle without accomplishing root. If that occurs, my best advice is to change your phone company. If that fails, you may need to factory reset your phone or even install the firmware from scratch and try again without the sim card.
Okay. Working. I tried it 2 Times because i get in troubles with the SuperSu App.
After First Time i Cant open it anymore after adb shell.
Second Time i installed SuperSu, but after adbshell the app was gone (!?) - but i installed it again with adb shell before reboot. Now SuperSu is Working.
And now tell me how to change the FireOS to a Android Status Bar with Notifications, and youre my Hero ;D

Do you close the adb window between steps 4 and 7? Step 7 should be continued in the window that you left open in step 4.
Do you get any error message after you type each command in part 4?
To redo the process you should install the Kingroot again and stay overt from the beginning.
I did not get any errors for part 4 just when I get to the first rm command in part 7, I'm getting (rm failed for /system/xbin/ku.sud, Read-only file system). Is that normal?
FIXED!!!
Ok i was not following this step properly "open the Kinguser app, open settings, Root authorization setting, and Remove Root permission ." I was not doing through that Root authorization setting which was a few slots down.

Please copy and paste the entire content of the adb terminal up to the point that you get the error message and send it to me via pm so I can debug it.

I still had this page open while I was giving it another go. I figured out what i was doing wrong. The " open the Kinguser app,open settings, Root authorization setting, and remove root permission." part I was just opening Kinguser settings and hitting the big center button turning it off. Did'nt realize i had to go down a few slots to the Root Authorization Setting then hit the Remove Root Permission. After i did it right Kinguser disappeared unistalled the other 2 apps. Everything after that work fine then. Thanks for trying to help me out. Maybe my confusion will help others.

And me too I should have read your post instead of bugging najoor who has been a great help to resolve my SuperSU
installation
Great thread :good::good:
thx for the guide.
can you explain why it is better to have SuperSu. What is wrong with kingsu?
planning to do this soon, cheers for the guide
so what is safe to remove out of the stock apps

King user might even be a better SU than superSU, who knows? The problem is that we don't know kinguser. We don't know who wrote it, we don't know what kind of information it gathers, we don't know if it puts a backdoor exploit in your OS, etc. Super SU is a tool that we have used for years. We know exactly what supersu does and who wrote it. We can even communicate with him on xda. Chainfire, the author of SuperSU even has a weblog that he often uses to talk about the intricacies of designing a tool like superSU. There is almost nothing unknown or suspicious about superSU.
On the contrary kingroot/kinguser seems to be intrusive and sneaky. The first thing it does after rooting your phone is to install some random app on it that has nothing to do with rooting and at best I can describe it as bloat. It saves files and folders all over your phone for no apparent reason. Then, it does everything it can to prevent you from removing it. In effect, the only straightforward way to remove it is to give up root, and even then it very suspiciously leaves some executable files behind that God knows if they are sleeper cells or what. To devise the procedure in the OP I had to go through an extensive search to find every little carp that king user has planted into the system and truth be told I will not be surprised if I discover more hidden gems left behind.
The corrected op guide worked great. I had to tap a blue rectangle at two different times to get kingroot to finish (get to a screen that had 100% on it), but other than that, everything worked.

Thank you _so_ much for your effort. I was doing some research too in advance prior to installing kingroot, but didn't get near as much useful information. Sniffing the network connection for any suspicious behaviour via wireshark and my router wasn't successful at all, as they use https.
I came up with the idea that they could have patched some of the system-apps to load an payload even after you tried to "delete everything"(tm). I am currently checking the MD5 and SHA-1 checksum of a identical, second Firephone without root.
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------
Also the Mods should pin your post. I totally agree that KingRoot uses intrusive behaviour - as it seems mostly for statistics, but anyway - and should be replaced with the method described in the OP.
EDIT: The MD5 checksum of an unrooted firephone is identical. The System apps might not have been replaced or touched at all. I didn't got a easy chance to check all apps with the SHA-1 checksum though.
Followed the directions and got the root with 0 issues
Just saw this article saying root is now achievable w/ SuperSU via Towelroot: http://dottech.org/180812/how-to-root-amazon-fire-phone-on-android-4-4-kitkat-guide/
Can anyone verify?

No, it doesn't work. When you run it, the towelroot app pops up a message saying the phone is currently not supported.
Hmph! That's too bad. I wasn't with my fire phone to check for myself. The internet is so weird lol. Why make a whole page with instructions for nothing? Ugh lol

This part is not working for me. Can't seem to remove it with root explorer either. Any tips?
Im on 4.6.1 with SuperSu. If im Sideload 4.6.1 again and do an Factory Reset. Is root gone? Because Amazon send me New One Because Hardware issues
