Regaws Root Method???

Is there something additional I need to do to actually gain "root"? I can't install the clear lock screen from smurf, can't wireless tether.... Don't know what's going on, all of this used to work fine on my Hero - what am I missing?

I don't think you have given enough info for people to even know what the problem is that you are having. Maybe you could be a bit more specific. Do you have superuser installed?

Sorry about that.... basically im on stock 2.2 with supposed "root" using regaws method - problem is, I can't use anything though; adb, wireless tether, I can't flash a lock screen (just sits at boot screen).

Download superuser app from the market place or google it if it is not on your phone already. Install it then launch an app that requires root. You will know real fast if you are rooted.

I do have SU... that's the thing but when I try ADB Remount it says device not permitted or something like that, can't remember exactly

You could try full wipe / reflash.
Maybe try a diff ROM too.

You need to flash the engineering bootloader (0.76.2000). Go to Toast's method part 2 and follow the steps to unlock nand. You need the engineering bootloader in order to access /system.

Have you run Unrevoked Forever? This will turn off security permissions and should then allow you to flash anything.

Ok, the reason
Code:
adb remount
doesn't work is because the boot.img isn't patched to allow that, because I forgot to at the time of posting. You still have root (as long as you actually completed the guide successfully), that's just an all time access root through adb
To acheive the same results, type
Code:
adb shell
type
Code:
su
you will then see #. thats root.
Then remount your /system partition using
Code:
mount -o rw,remount / /system
there you go.

Do you have usb debugging on?

Try the new 1 click root in the dev forum. Unrevoked 3.2. See if that doesn't do the trick.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

My guess is you didn't flash the 2.2-root.zip at the end then.. That's the best I can do w/ the info you've given.

one was already asked once but i had two questions
1. Is USB Debugging turned on or off? Settings > Applications > Development
2. you are using a stock rooted rom. are you trying to use sprint's wireless tether app? Sprint's app wont work you need to download wireless tether from the market.

Running stock 2.2. Regaw I did flash 2.2-root at the end and I am trying to use wireless tether not Sprints hotspot
I do have superuser in my apps list and I was able to install SNeoid, Swype, Setcpu, juicedefender and a few others that may require root but it wont let me do anything via adb or install any themes/mods that come in .zips

[Q] [SOLVED] Attempted to root, SU Permision Denied

I am attempted to root my phone as the new guide on the wiki.
Once I get to this secion:
In this shell:
Remark: When you run su for the first time in the adb shell make sure the the screen of the phone is unlocked. Because when you enter the command the Superuser app will show up and ask you if you want to grant superuser access to app Unknown (2000).
Check the Remember check box and click allow.
$ su
# cd /data/local/tmp
# stop ril-daemon
# ./gfree_verify
I am unable to get SU to enable, it'll immidetly say permision denied and does not prompt anything on my phone and does not allow me to gain access so I am unable to verify Gfree
Thanks in advance for the help

What's the exact commands you're typing in the command prompt?

I have shell, so I type
$ su *$ is not typed, already shows in the command prompt*
but I think I know what I di dwrong and I am trying it again

Did you manage to get the root access?
Care to tell how it's done for you? Because I am having the same problem

I pretty much just followed the steps as stated in the wiki.
Just make sure you do all the steps required and more importantly that you type properly, thats what messed me up, I went like most of the way in to find out I forgot to do something properly @ the start.
You can also copy and paste the commands into your command line window which I did the second time round and that pretty much solved all problems for me , its fairly simple to be honest

[Q] System software version 6.3_user_4019920 root possible?

Hi all,
I have a kindle fire with system version 6.3_user_4019920.
I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5, installed TWRP, FFF and Permanent Root with Superuser (option 2).
I did NOT installed Google Apps/Go Luncher EX though!
Everything went just fine with no errors at all.
I installed ProxyDroid 2.6.2 and that tells me that I am not root. I checked also to see if the device is rooted installing Root Checker app and that tells me also: "Sorry, you don't have root access"
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,

I have this problem too, KFU doesn't seem to copy su binary to /system/xbin, so just do it your self from adb (su binary located in the "files" folder inside KFU), then set permission to it as 06755, finally open install Superuser.apk.
Reboot into recovery mode
adb shell mount system
adb push ..\files\su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb install ..\files\Superuser.apk

Thank you.
I did all steps, but at the last command (adb install ..\files\Superuser.apk) I got the following error:
/sbin/sh: pm: not found

You must boot out of recovery and back into the system before executing the adb install command.

Thanks,
I saw that KFU was showing 5000 status mode. So, I did: "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000" I got an OKAY on the PC screen and now the Kindle Fire is stucked at the logo (I cannot even power it off). I disconnected and reconnected but know even the computer is not recognizing it.
Any other suggestions?

That only changes the bootmode. You need to actually tell it to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Maybe you want to read the first few posts of this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
It will help you understand what you are doing rather than just typing commands.

That is exactly the article from were I have the command. Unfortunetly because the kindle is now stucked at the logo (cannot turn it off) even if I issue fastboot reboot is waiting for a device that is not recognized.

Hold the power button until it shuts off. Then restart.

First what is the charge level on your battery that can happen from your battery being flat also maybe try powering it off by holding the power button for 20 seconds till it does completely power down some say to reinstall your drivers but I can't imagine why how and where they could have changed considering how far you have gotten

It worked and I was able to finishe the rooting also.
Thanks for all guys who replied, wasted their time and helped me out!
I needed all this because of a Europe trip and I run a Squid proxy here in US that I want to use it for netflix. Hopefully ProxyDruid will help me out.
Best,

I'm having a similar problem. I used KFU 0.9.6 and installed permanent root and twrp. I've even flashed the latest jandycane ROM. It's super stable and have had no problems except that I can't run apps that require root. The root checker says I don't have root. I tried running the above adm commands but with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, it's easy for me to forget about you windows users
Do you have terminal emulator?
See if the "su" command is successful.

Apparently your su binary is corrupt. Use adb shell to remove it and then adb push a new version to your /system/xbin folder. Afterwards (adb shell) chown and chmod to give it the proper ownership/permissions and try again.
I'm assuming you already know how to do this.
---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------
Upon further inspection, it seems as though you installed the wrong su binary. There are two available; x86 and ARM. You need ARM.

Thanks for the help. I pushed a new su file. Now it says permission denied. What should the permissions be set to? I tried 06755 as above but no luck.

How to browse through files on Firestick? Storage permissions?

My Firestick 4K isn't rooted, but I need to apply custom settings from a file to a specific App. I already pushed that file onto my Firestick 4K with ADB commands. The problem is that Apps that can browse through storage files on my Android phone can't do that on Firestick. Browsing through storage simply isn't available on Firestick. Is that due to lack of storage access permission? How can I allow storage access via ADB remote commands? Firestick OS App Management setting doesn't even list storage permission access...

Grant storage permission via ADB
Code:
adb shell pm grant <package-name> android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
adb shell pm grant <package-name> android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Example
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
adb shell pm grant com.microsoft.office.word android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Thank you, but that that app still opens the white screen with "Open from" in upper left corner and lists Recent, Owner's Fire TV, and ES File Explorer. The problem is that it does not show any files and does not allow me to select ES File Explorer. The files I need to import do exist because ES File Explorer does see them Downloads folder, to where I adb-pushed those files. I need to get Firestick OS to use ES File Explorer as a default explorer or as an app that launches when some other app tries to launch Firestick OS default built-in Files app. Or maybe there is a way to push .JSON settings file onto whichever app...

I think I can get it to work if I can get this command to work:
adb shell pm grant com.android.providers.downloads android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Operation not allowed: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot grant system fixed permission android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE for package com.android.providers.downloads

Advice me a list of package to debloat firetv stick Tank?

I've found https://github.com/esc0rtd3w/firestick-loader/blob/master/scripts/debloat/bloat-disable-montoya.sh this list, but I don't know it it's a trusted source or someone has tried it.
I've tried some command throught remote adb but I always have error. beside pm unininstall -k user 0 is something I should do?
Command for enable write access to ftvlauncherX worked.
Thank you in advance

Try Like this
adb shell "pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.cms"
To restore
adb shell "pm enable com.amazon.kindle.cms"

Damn I think I forgot to run adb shell before pm command? Maybe this was the error?

Yeah definitely, you have to run:
adb shell
Su (if you have root)
pm disable -k -- user 0 com.amazon. Blah blah
Please be aware if your stick has been taking updates regularly most of these commands need root access to work.
