I've followed a root guide (not able to link due to account restrictions), however I am not sure whether I have rooted correctly (Superuser has been installed via the root). I'm a beginner in rooting and thought it would be straight forward (due to the number of tutorials around), but I don't know how to proceed now.
My basic objective is to install jelly bean with no issues in usage as the owner isn't very tech literate. The tutorials I have tried to follow thus far have had some steps which aren't possible in my circumstance or certain steps which aren't possible due to a change in the app.
If possible I will appreciate it if someone helps me, whether here, or on skype/teamspeak; preferably on the latters as it will speed up the process and I am quite time restricted. If possible I don't mind completely resetting the kindle to its original software and such and starting again just to be sure If I have rooted, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks in advance

Thats to Root; I've already rooted (assuming from the video when it says you can see the superuser app)
Well if you have rooted right go to your browser and search for an app called Root Checker. It does not require root. It checks to see if your rooted right. If you are not rooted right the app will say so but if you are rooted right you get a message saying "You have successfully rooted your device." Hope I helped you.

Titanium says I have rooted. Ok, what do I do now as per my requirements above?
Thanks
Ok, I've now installed the play store and disabled ads using this VERY useful tutorial (thanks prok!). Is there a similar tutorial on how to install jelly bean on it now?
Well the best rom out there right now is Unofficial CM10.1 from Hashcode. Yes, you could install a different one but Unofficial CM10.1 is currently the best in my opinion.

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to avoid updates for my KFHD by Amazon over OTA.
Is there an software hack or firewall solutions?
My device running version 7.2.3 and is rooted.
I did read that also rooted devices will get OTA updates. And this will remove root and other changes.
Best regards!
Rooting is required to stop ota updates, there are scripts on this forum that look unhealthy to run, some people freeze apps with titanium backup, others use droidwall, I personally just gained root then renamed a file named otacerts.zip to otacerts.bak from etc/security and that worked fine for me...
People from all these forums claims any one of these solutions do not work, I can attest that otacerts.bak worked for me. But they should all be viable solutions.
I am still on 7.2.1

Are there any ROMs that still allow SkyGo to be received? I rooted my tab once and the App said that it would not run on a rooted device.

I was using NUT's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711982) which is 757 based and it worked with that. I've since upgraded to juanpirulo's 761 based version and deodexed, and still works fine.

Are you sure?
You can actually watch TV on sky go with a rooted device in the UK? I think it is impossible.
The app opens, but as soon as you try to watch it says that the device is rooted and will not work
Not a single rooted rom I have tried has worked and if you look into root cloak apps they all say that root can not be hidden from sky go and there is unlikely to be any work around for it.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems we're both right to some extent.
Up till now I'd only used it to watch Sky news and that works ok even now, but just tried watching the footie and got the message you described.
Thanks for that, I didn't know that sky news would work, so we are both wiser now

Hi All,
since friday a YouTube video is out showing how to root the SM-G800F in only 2 minutes.
You can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XpGTwifH50
You will find all needed downloads in the information section of the video: Odin, CainFire SM-G800F root, Samsung USB Driver.
You don't need to re-configure your device afterwards.
I just tried it and it works perfectly without reinstalling the rom or anything else. Just the typical Odin stuff, some clicks and it's done. Everything stays as it was before, you only get root.
Enjoy! :victory:
IMPORTANT: it's obviously only for the SM-G800F!
It would have been nice if you mentioned who created this rooting method here as well as on youtube. You say Chainfire, but he officially does not support SM-G800F. Check http://autoroot.chainfire.eu

sure? check out the file name, cf-auto-root-sm_g800f-kminilte-xxu1ang7.*tar.md5 sounds like a chainfire file to me or possibliy it's a modification by ?kminilite??
sorry, I'm not a developer and also not in the "scene", I'm just an Android enthusiastic and modder and want to help here. to be honest, I have no idea if it is from CF itself or the guys from xda-root.com or both. If this is soo important to you, you have to find out the 100% correct answer by yourself or some other supporter

It is a bit more than trying a prepackaged binary on a new device. That won't work at all. If you don't believe me then download any file you like from chainfire's website and try to use it on SM-G800F. The trick is to modify enough of that original code to work on the new device. That modification is my own work, which I published on the other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54592755&postcount=4, without any permission to redistribute it. A big part of the file is originally from chainfire, another big part is from Samsung itself, the modification to combine it all in a way that it works on SM-G800F is mine. The name 'kminilte' refers to the SoC chip on the phone as shown by the kernel.

In any case Chainfire now has his own version of autoroot for each S5 Mini variant in the market. Mine only works on SM-G800F not on other variants. My file has the md5 sum dc6517140efa4058d1f67c8e1784efe7 and Chainfire's files have different md5 sums as listed on his website.
build numbers
Anyone know if this method will work with a different build No?? KOT49H.G800FXXU1ANL1 - S5 Mini
Or how I can get it to work!? Need root
Many thanks in advance!
Flash counter?
I'm new to the Samsung modding scene, so excuse me if my question is outdated.
But are the flash counter / yellow triangle still a problem on Samsung devices? Do I need to take any preliminary measures, to ensure that I can revert to stock and not give away that I have had it flashed (for warranty cases)?
If we use this methode to root our device, do we need to re-install all our apps as it would on a new clean install ?
To awnser my own question
No, we don't re-install all the apps as stated in the first post.
Chainfire's bootloader is fantastic !!!!
Is it good for G800F lollipop firmware ?
If you do so, you work:
All S5 mini 800F LP 5.1.1 updater,
that is the way it is working for me. please, do not this steps if you not knowing what you do.
i' m not responsible for damage of your device.

My device is Asus MemoPad 7 K017 running Kit-Kat 4.4.2, Kernel version 3.10.20, Build Number KVT49L.WW_MeMO_Pad-11.2.3.27-20141218 release-keys 044000281_2014060030.
I did have success with kingo, if you are having trouble, make sure tab is in de-bug mode and you check the pop-up asking to allow kingo to talk to device, it will come up on tab side. And if kingo still not working, try this apk. RootZenPhone. Before you root using this app, you must, i repeat, must, turn off wi-fi, and forget the network you are connected to. If you dont, you get stuck in this Asus Demo mode, no lock screen, and it keeps downloading a phantom update. My daughter also told me facebook would auto delete, and force close. if you have any more questions fire away

Run this, flash SuperSu (or just reboot and let it install su), and you're rooted. Universal solution for all OTA versions
hi,
I don't know if this is specific to fire or a general cyanogen question, but I work with fire- so there it is.
According to the tutorials I see (most notably Rootjunkies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dwguHoxTvo) when I install CM I also need to put in SU in TWRP (or any other bootloader). Can I not to? What would happen?
I'd rather that apps I'll install be at their maximum segregation possible and have no loopholes to wiggle through.
Thank you very much.
You don't have to start a new thread, for every question
you have a few other threads, that you were are getting answers in
starting a new thread just means you have to wait
till someone with an answer sees your new thread
rather than getting an notification that you replied in an existing thread

SU and SuperSU are entirely different things. SuperSu is a root manager that controls application access and elevated permissions. It is optional with CM 12.x which has an integrated root manager. SuperSU is a well respected third party tool that offers additional capabilities.

Wait, so if I understand you correctly CM already comes rooted?
Also, SU- so this is the command/file that gives the instruction to android to give administrative rights?

Is there some way to remove the capability, not just turn it off? like with a stock?
and when i deny this su command to the kernel, does it happen in programs like supersu?

Short answer - no. Curl up with a preferred beverage and search engine to advance your understanding of root, root managers and SU.
