Don't bother. I had same problem. Go to modaco and use Paul's superboot. Works like a charm

I had lots of problems with that too. Download the PDAnet desktop client to your computer, this will install the USB drivers needed. They could probably be installed other ways but that took of the waiting for device issue for me.

Use universalandroot or z4 works great

"I'm running froyo 2.2.1"
Are you blind? UniversalAndroot does not work after 2.2
And anyways, SuperOneClick works great if your drivers are installed correctly...

was a must for me to get this working with WinXP and the Galaxy Fascinate. The PDAnet applicaiton was crucial in getting my PC to recognize the driver. Thanks for the tips all.

I had the same problem and posted my solution in the main SOC thread. Here's what I did:
I used SOC 1.5.1. I had Debugging enabled and turned the phone off. I opened SOC and clicked 'Root.' When the prompt said 'Waiting for Device,' I turned the phone on. SOC did it's thing, and it properly remounted the phone. Everything is good now. I hope this works for you!!!
i have a cliq xt and superoneclick keeps ending with read only,can anyone help?

I had to first install the driver for android and then everything went smooth.
SuperOneClick issue
once I've d/l SuperOneClick, the file on my desktop shows a .zip file but when I goto extract all, pop up window says theres no files to extract.
I have not been able to find a working link please help!
this worked for me the 1st time, http://nd1razor.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-root-android-234-nexus-one.html
works without unlocking bootloader!
tried the guide from the xda wiki but failed for some unknown reason. try the above link.
just a suggestion for people trying to upgrade to update 8 i was successful in keeping Root from 7 just by using Superoneclick
this was my process
install stock rooted v7(skip if stock) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1348637
make sure your in usb debuging mode and plug into computer (win7 64 bit is ok) then select internet connection mode
Run lg1click/install drivers and option 5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1348557
reboot and go to settings/aboutphone/softwareupdate/checknow and update phone
When finished rebooting run super 1 click and click root http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2
when finished with that open Titanium backup or install trial from market when opened it prompts to fix SU access just tell it ok and reboot

The procedure is almost the same, except in one you create a small text file, and the other you download TB and have it fix file issues.

Would anybody mind uploading a zip file of their "/preinstall" system folder from their Droid 4? I'm missing some files from in there. Specifically the video files for the "Guided Tours" stock app. I must have deleted them a while back, and now I can't install the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I went back to stock, removed Safestrap and unrooted the phone to do the update. And when I go to do it, it gives me an error because those files weren't found. They don't seem to be in the Droid 4 Dump, so I guess I'm S.O.L. unless I can get them from somebody.
If I deleted those, I probably deleted something else from in there, so could you please send me the whole directory? I'd be happy to throw you a donation. Ten bones sound fair? Many thanks in advance.

Yes and yes. Just DL the utility and fast boot ICS file. Unzip ICS file and move files to the files directory of utility. Make sure latest drivers are installed and battery is full connect phone run utility select boot into fast boot then option 11. Choosing to save files still won't let u install the update. Let it do its thing.

Went ahead and did it last night, and it worked! After using this to reset my ICS stock ROM, the OTA Jelly Bean Update installed just fine. Thanks a ton. I gotta say, this online community rocks! I love how helpful and supportive everybody is of each other.
One minor note, I had to do this on my roommate's Windows 7 computer to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work on either my laptop or desktop, both of which have Windows 8. The phone drivers wouldn't install. Strange; I downloaded the USB drivers from Motorola, and they appeared to install, but when I plugged my phone into the computer, and went to use the Utility, it kept giving me a "Device not found" error. And also, when I checked in "Device Manager," it showed my phone with an exclaimation point and said that the drivers weren't installed.
When I followed the same process on a Windows 7 computer, the drivers installed as soon as I plugged the phone in. Weird; Motorola's website said that the drivers were for Windows 7 and 8. I tried disabling "Signature Verification" on Windows 8, but that didn't work either. Anybody know if Motorola hasn't released Windows 8 drivers for Droid 4 yet? Just wanna know for future reference. Thanks a bunch.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I prefer this method for installing twrp, just make sure to check the box about downgrading the boot loader, because I'm not sure if when you said you downgraded if you ment the os or the bootloader, and if you haven't done that first you will get stuck with a red screen on reboot you can't fix without a fastboot cable. Make sure to stick a copy of the ROM you want to use and the gapps for it on the sdcard ahead of time though because it typically bootloops after you install twrp but it might not I don't remember which version implemented the stupid version check that causes that.

That sucks. You can try using a fastboot cord. It's a coin toss with a red screen as it's considered a hard brick.

You can use this tool to restore http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Did you make a backup before attempting the mod? If you did, just push the files/images onto your KFHD7.
You will need a matching Amazon boot.img and system.img I would do some reading around Hashcodes thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 He has the images needed. You can probably use the ones in the restore tool as well.
You will need to have SDK downloaded to get ADB/Fastboot commands recognized. Here is a video tutorial of that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw

Sounds like the drivers aren't installed, go into the device manager and right click what should be a device called something like tate-pvt with a triangle next to it and hit update drivers, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere, then point the update driver update window to where you extracted my drivers and let them install. Make sure you check the md5sum of the boot loader file before flashing it.

I want to apply an OTA (7.4.8, I'm currently on 7.2.4) to my Kindle Fire HD 7" so that I can install fire flash.
Before the factory reset I disabled OTA updates.
I have rooted/tweaked it, then factory reset it, then tried but the OTA is installing screen crashes. Then the update button becomes grey.
The OTA is installing screen just appears for a second then crashes. It also deletes my update bin file from "kindleupdates" and forms a ".nomedia" file.
I need help with an answer for at least one of these questions:
Is there a way to flash TWRP safely without fire flash?
Is there a way to flash the OTA without using the device interface?
Do I need to FULL reset the KFHD7 to fix this OTA crash issue?
Thanks!
BTW now I rooted the KFHD and replaced otacerts.zip properly but automatic updates still do not work.
You don't need 7.4.8 for fire flash to work... You just install it and make sure to check off the downgrade bootloader box plus the others mentioned in the tutorial. There is another method of doing this from command prompt, however I recommend verifying the bootloader md5sum so you don't hard brick if you choose that method.

I'm on 7.2.4.. thanks, I'll try that soon.
EDIT: Is the fastboot cable compulsory? And I'm scared I might brick it though
Sorry to bother you again but I'm havin some issues..
I don't have a fastboot cable, how do I get it into fastboot?
When taking the stock partitions backup, do I keep the device powered on?
Where do I run all the commands from? cmd.exe or something else from the android SDK?
Thanks!
BTW I checked all the MD5 stuff. All of them are good. And I CAN'T buy a fastboot cable, what do I do?
Pray you don't mess this up because a fastboot cable will be required if you brick it, you can make them if you have a soldering iron. Anyways first answer is run this
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'"
that will kick it into fastboot and give you a root prompt on the kindle if you haven't had one before for adb.
If your second question was do I leave the device on while pulling the files from the device then the answer is yes.
Lastly yes this is all from a command prompt, if you don't wanna download the entire SDK I think I have the programs needed in a tutorial thread I made, just look for threads I have created, it is the only tutorial I ever posted and I don't have a lot of threads so it's easy to find.

I got the SDK with me. But I have no idea how to configure it to install fastboot drivers, etc.
What if the device kicks into fastboot but I can't exit fastboot because the drivers aren't working? Then what do I do?
Thanks..
I wouldn't bother setting up the sdk personally, I would just grab what you need off the forum. The drivers in my signature will work for this. I have a zip file with adb and fastboot in it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
I think it kicks out of fastboot when you hold the power button, but if it comes down to it just use a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD/USB, its fairly simple, no drivers needed and the fastboot and adb commands are available in the repos. The drivers in my signature are unsigned so on windows 8 they require driver signature enforcement to be disabled but other than that they should work.

It should work, I prefer doing this kinda stuff manually myself, because I verify md5sum's with my own eyes and such. Automation on delicate processes isn't always a great thing, it I haven't used that utility before so I can't really vouch for it. No offense to the creator.
