Can 7.2.1 be rooted? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My kindle just got an OTA to 7.2.1. I lost su permission. I was wondering if it can be rooted with the qemu tool, or adb. Thanks

I dont even wanna turn my device on. Hoping it doesn't update. Would like to know also if it will work.
Edit: since when is there a update. I have not got one, and I have not seen anything about it.

Thats weird because I can't find any update for 7.2.1 anywhere. Amazons site still shows 7.1.5 as the current version. Maybe they haven't updated their site yet. If I manage to get this update I will try rooting and let you know.

There was stuff floating around in the forums about modifying the OTA system file so that it doesn't work.
I'm putting my faith in it, so I really hope I don't update.

I Do not know how to take a screen shot, so I can't show you, but it most certainly is 7.2.1. It happened sometimes last night. All of the apps still work, and I can still download from google play.

Since nobody else has even reported getting that OTA update, why don't you just try rooting it manually and see what happens? The procedure is available...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892002
The critical parts are the first two steps...
1) Does it let you manipulate the /data directory and make it writeable after the first reboot?
2) Does it enable emulation mode with root enabled after the second reboot?
If that happens, the rest of it should work.
Now, I have to put my moderator hat back on and ask you not to make duplicate threads on the same topic. In addition, help questions don't belong in the General section. I've deleted that duplicate post. If you mistakenly post in the wrong section, bring it to the attention of a moderator and it can be moved for you.

This might still be helpful.
I was on original software for the kindle, rooted it, then it updated, root was removed, with the update I re-rooted and it worked fine again.

I received this update also and one thing you should be aware of is that this update will cause you to go to a dialog wanting to send you to the amazon appstore whenever an app tries to do something through the play store. When I first rooted before the OTA that did not happen. I was able to reroot it easily, just doing exactly what I did the first time and other than the play snore snafu everything else seems to be fine.

Thx. Here changelog
This software update will include a setting to let customers control whether or not personalized recommendations appear below the carousel on the device homepage.
This software update includes:
1. Kindle FreeTime, a tablet experience built for kids allowing parents to set daily screen time limits, and give access to appropriate content for each child.
2. A setting so customers can control whether or not personalized recommendations appear below the carousel on the device homepage.
3. Ability for customers to set the default device language to one of six languages, including English (US), English (UK), German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
4. Enhanced dictionary support, including the ability to download foreign language dictionaries.

Got same issue. Trying to update titanium backup. Kfhd says an app wants to use external market that's not available on kindle and asks whether I want to go to amazon shop or cancel operation.
That's sad.

I have not been forced to update as of yet.

Man, I was really looking forward to disabling the home screen recommendations.
But that Play Store nonsense sounds awful.

I have updated to 7.21. New things are all the ones you have detailed, and I have now my fire hd in Spanish.
Google play works but an app which need permissions such as adaway doesnt.

That is odd. The play store works just fine for me. I do not know why you have this issue.

If there is market problems now I do not want it, if not is it all that worth it. Unless im forced I wanna know. Do not like updating, until all is known about it.

[Q] Rooting Questions

Hi Folks,
I'm a smartphone newbie with an Optimus L90. I have some questions about rooting.
I've seen some articles that say that if you root your device you should be careful of automated ROM updates that will unroot your phone. How do most people approach these updates?
How often are these ROM updates necessary? Could I disable this feature & do this manually every month or so?
What about apps? If I manually updated these about every 2 weeks or month, would that be sufficient?
I realize that if I root this device I should only install trusted apps. To me this would mean Google Apps & Amazon, correct?
Regarding antivirus & security, this phone has LookOut running. I've seen some articles that say antivirus software is unnecessary. What are your thoughts on this? I wanted to change the settings for this program. However, I did not find a LookOut app in the apps area. How can these settings be changed?
Thanks,
Mark
What's the reason to root?
Just be careful and do nothing you don't understand. If possible make a backup of your system.
But first read on XDA and be informed

Root Question
Hello Bravho,
I've seen some info on the internet about these devices being more customizable when rooted. Although, you have an excellent point, I might not have to root. I thought maybe there would be a simple way to root & install a custom ROM on my phone. However, it seems in order to do this correctly I'll need to be more familiar with the OS. This means reading more of the posts on this forum & planning.
Thanks for taking the time to reply,
Mark

Updates for the L90 are NOT automatic, to my knowledge anyway. You must provide approval for the update to install. However, if you decide to flash a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod ( CM ), you won't have to worry about updates from LG

ROM updates roll out at irregular intervals, if they roll out at all. LG's L90 LG-D415 hasn't had an update as of yet, but several of the other variants have.

That really depends. With that line of thinking you'll have a very narrow list of applications available. If in doubt, don't install.

I've found it to be unnecessary. The only thing you can do to manage LookOut is to uninstall it. You must have root privileges to uninstall as it's installed as a system app.

Wow! Sorry, don't see many new people come here that actually have enough foresight to research before jumping in to modding their device. They usually jump straight in to modding without doing any research at all and then someone like me gets to explain how to fix what they messed up. :silly:
Rooting is fairly simple and straight forward. Flashing a custom recovery can be tricky for some as can flashing a ROM.

Easiest way to upgrade to 5.1 and keep root without wiping

I know, I know - this is a noob question, guides have already been posted, etc - but information is scattered all over the place, and the internet is littered with "what worked for me" type guides, and I'm just looking for a quick response.
Here's the 2 guides I have found so far:
EDIT: It looks like i can't post outside links, but have found 2 guides. Both are on reddit, and one ends in:
/nexus6/comments/2ywu1m/guide_to_flashing_51_factory_image_without_wiping/
The other:
/nexus6/comments/3028i9/guide_how_to_update_to_51_and_keep_root/
Both of these are very different methods, it seems. My phone is unlocked, rooted, encrypted, and has 5.0.1. It would seem like the easiest thing to do would be to unroot, apply the OTA update, the re-root using CF-Auto-Root - but a forum post said that didn't work, it needs to be re-flashed.
I'm just looking for which of these methods would be best for me at this point. I want to keep root, and not lose my phone's configuration in the simplest way, preferably just using the OTA update, without re-flashing.
Thank you, and I apologize for asking a question that has already been answered. The problem is there are too many different answers, and I'm not sure which one to go with.
EDIT: I've also noticed, that if I have to re-flash, there are 3 different images for nexus 6 5.1: LMY47D, LMY47E, and LMY47I - this is the first time I've seen this when looking to flash a phone. How do I know which is the most up-to-date, and which one to go with?

Just download the factory image of your choice and use fastboot to flash everything individually except userdata. You won't be wiped and all you'll have to do is re-root. Or just pick a ROM from development forums.

Verizon phones ship with E. AT&T is currently pushing D (and Sprint). T-Mobile is pushing M.
With that said, (unless you're on TMO), I've tried D, E, and I, and I could not really see any difference. E has the 98R radio, which some users have had better results with. All of the others have the 95R radio. You will have to try both and decide which works best for you.

Well I have T-Mobile, so I'd like to stick with what they are pushing, if for no other reason than to conform to thier OTA push and their unique radio frequencies.
However, the options are "E" "D" and "I" on the Google website. However, you mentioned M. Did you mean one of the others, or is there some unique image not available on the developers.google.com website? Which one off that site would be the default for T-Mobile?

M was issued as an OTA for T-Mobile users. That being said, @simms22 will confirm that LMY47I works just fine on T-Mobile.

Letters don't appear to represent sequential release. I is most recent, and represents r3.
If M was going to be released with a factory image, it would normally have been within 48 hours of the OTA. It's been 3 weeks. You can keep waiting, and waiting.....

Ok, wow. Never so much confusion is updating a Nexus device...
Some people say M is newer than I, some say otherwise? Either way, doubtful M will be released on google's site, and doublful it has anything I doesn't, so I'll just proceed with the original "Method 2" described in my original reply.
So all I have to do is follow the steps, except make sure not to type: fastboot flash userdata C:/image-shamu-XXXXXX/userdata.img?
To add fuel to the fire, 5.1.1 is expected soon as well. This will, perhaps, unify all builds into one. This is based on the SDK being updated to 5.1.1 a few days ago.

Thank you everyone! Followed @Evolution_Freak's "Method 2" link, re-rooted, and everything seems good. I'm not good at using forums and this was my first time making a thread or being this confused at the particulars of flashing a nexus, but your explanations and information have been very helpful.

Please give an example of a build where for example
A R build was older than an I build.
M is 4 days newer than I although I don't know why google hasn't posted the M build. Hopefully the next update brings all N6 to the same build

Hate to break this to you, but the I image has a serious problem for certain people on T-Mobile. It completely breaks group messaging using the default messenger, forcing them to use a different messaging program.
I told a friend to use the I Image as I had been told repeatedly everything would work fine. He uses group messaging heavily for work, while I never use it. I caused him some serious problems.
Not trying to rag on you specifically @simms, but I am just warning people in general that not everything works perfectly on T-Mobile without the M build. I tested this myself.

Are you verifying that other people receive the SMS message? It does not give an error of any kind.
When I tested it, was in a room with 4 different people, and the message appeared to go through. However, only 1 person on the list I started the group message with would actually receive it.

[Q] Undo previous non-root OTA notification block?

Sometime last year I found a post detailing how to block the OTA update nag screen on my stock SU4.21 4.4.4 Droid Maxx. It even had instructions on what to do if it had already downloaded the update but not installed it yet (which I needed). I think that involved connecting to a pc.
Glad I never updated because by staying on SU 4.21 I used the recent root method to both root and use Sunshine.
Now I want to undo whatever change(s) I made since I can now freeze the updater.
I have spent two days searching the X and Ultra forums (and Google) but cannot find that particular post. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? It dealt specifically with non-root phones. I'm about 90% sure it was here on XDA.
And if you search and find the thread, mind sharing the search terms that got you there? Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, found it.

What root method did you use?? I found one but I'm not too familiar with using adb and they said if you mess up it will brick your device so I stayed away from it, is that the one you used ? If not could you tell me which one you you used so I can root my maxx??

Oh yah the root method I didn't try because I don't have the skill set is the one where you use Quall comm or something like that and you use a rooted su4.21 system partition and you use rsd lite and something called python , and if it is the one you used could you try and explain it to me in a way a noob could understand lmao

Custom Roms

I saw in another post that the kernel source got released, Im new to this, I was reading a post about how to create custom roms and all that, and i was wondering , we do need root access to get the system files and all that to begin working on a rom ?
What i wanted to do was basically a full stock lollipop rom, but with the Axon Software ( Camera, Dolby Digital, and a few other things ).
I dont have any background expirience creating roms, but whats leading me to this is , loving the phone but hating the toggles, and a few other software bugs ive encountered.
I have some programming knowledge, and I will make this my little side project if theres any chance for it to be done. If anyone has some background and wanna help/teach me, ill be thankfull.
This is the link I been following.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690
I have no programming knowledge, but I'll gladly provide moral support and encouragement in this endeavor! A stock lollipop rom with ZTE features would be spectacular.

I know right ? Well, If by any chance it can be done, ill keep trying. I guess first we need root.
I would like to support this and I have some java and c++ programming experience. The only problem is that there hasn't been any word on root methods or bootloader unlock methods. Supposedly ZTE phones come bootloader unlocked already, but I haven't been able to prove this since we can't access the bootloader via fastboot :/ if we can at least get root that would be a good start.
Marshmallow on Axon Elite?
Hi all,
I came across this poat while checking for new ROMS. If this checks out I would happily go for the Elite as the price point and features are value for money. For those of you who do have it can you confirm that this is actually a Marshmallow ROM.

That's what I thought but beyond that has anyone managed to actually get the ROM and verify it to be working?
I am on the cross roads for a new phone. Also would like to know the XDA source mentioned as am sure it won't have ads to download.

I am on the Lux model and it's full of Chinese software that I can't even read and I have no access to google apps.

I was hoping to get the Elite and be able to flash it as the phone had a lot of potential!
You need to install Google Play Services and Google Services Framework. You will need to sideload these apk's. You will need to Google them.
Please, how can i upgrade my ZTE AXON Elite to Android 6.0? Is it posisible? Thanks
Marshmallow isn't available for this device yet.
When will a custom ROM appear for the Axon Pro?I hate all these chinese stuff and i would like to have the option to reset the phone and redo all the Gmail account,without the phone asking me for the last gmail account.I bought the phone from a friend and i did a reset later that day and it kept asking me for the old account.It sayd that the phone was reset and needs the old account and i couldn't go forward because it kept connecting to google and asked for the old account.I had to use my friends account again to use the phone.I want a simple rom,without this stupid connection to google and other chinese stuff.Any idea when a rom will be available?
No clue but now that you have your friends Google account you should be able to delete it and add your own.
I'm surprised that there isn't any custom roms for this phone yet,i mean its a phone with 4gb of ram,810 Snapdragon so its pretty powerful.

Why didn't you just do a factory reset? Also, Chinese stuff?

I did a factory reset and it keeps saying that the phone was reset and i need to enter the gmail account that was previously entered.I also tried entering 15-20 time in a row ,because a lot of people say on forums that on note 4 and other phones if you enter the wrong account,the phone will reset and it will let you enter another account.On ZTE this doesn't work .

He probably has a Chinese model. I have the Lux so I know exactly what he is talking about.

If you could get your device unlocked (depending on your carrier) you should have no problems with rooting (via Magisk).
Razer phones a pretty easy to root: Here's a guide I made on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/razerphone/comments/ge8n9m/comment/fprr4qn?context=1
If you need help i could walk you through it if you pm me lol I could also do it for you if you ship me the phone
