Hi, My brother has a rooted kindle (Which I rooted for him, he doesn't know much about root, but he wanted the play store). His kindle was starting to get laggy, and random touch input, Im thinking it's happening because it's just slow. I'm not sure what app is causing this, but just to point out.. So he wanted to format. I'm not sure if it will brick his kindle since it's rooted. But I did see a forum page about someone's phone on a black screen because it was rooted and he formatted it. So should I unroot it then format? Am I missing something?
You do not want to format your kindle. Instead install a new rom such as kinology. Follow all instructions.

Thanks for the reply, but the kindle's bootloader isn't unlocked. Is there a workaround or anything from flashing a rom?
Just go into the Dev section and read the thread by hashcode entitled installing second boot loader + twrp

I'm wondering if, after the new update, anyone's had a bricked device? I unrooted before since I was afraid of that, but if no one got problems so far, its safe to root once again... Besides would love to know of someone was able to avoid the update somehow. It has officially been releases a while ago (you can look into amazon's update software page)

Nope, my device was rooted when I got the ota, but I did not get bricked. I just re rooted with the qemu tool.
did u have gplay installed?
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
Yes, and I can still install just fine from it.
One las question, did ypu have a custom launcher and no problem?? If so, Im ready to stay rooted
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium
No problems with custom launchers but the update does remove them. So you have to reinstall after the update

Not correct, I still have Nova Launcher as default after update.
Personally, anything I had placed in system was removed for me. This included Nova launcher, Swype, and the Vending.apk for gplay. I just rerooted and put them all back, and everything else I had as retained.

I just got mine, and once it was booted up, it clearly did an auto upgrade to 7.2.1. I got the QEMU root tool but the Kindle is never recognized when I plug it into the computer.
Any ideas why that's happening?
So I tried to install TWRP on my Kindle Fire HD 7 and when the steps came to use FireFlash I had out the wrong img. file into the boot partition and placed no file into the recovery partition. Now whenever I power on my Kindle 7 HD, I automatically go into TWRP and I dont know what to do... HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU TO ALL!!!
Wait u replaced the boot loader with twrp? I think that's fixable, but I need to know if that's what happened or if I misunderstood.

Yes exactly that. TWRP became the boot partition for FireFlash and I forget to insert a recovery partition.
Wow um, I don't know if u can use fast boot at this point or not even though that would be easiest, if u can't I think u would need a custom ROM to flash that restores stock os, because I think the ones hashcode provided don't wipe recovery and the boot partition. This is a weird scenario. I will need to do some research before I can tell you exactly what to do. This may take a while to research if I am downloading stock ROMs since they are near a GB. If u can get it into fast boot by going g into twrp and hitting reboot, then hitting bootloader, tell me because this will be much simpler.

If you can get into fastboot, get kindle fire first aide and just restore to stock 7.2.3

So the guide says that the fastboot should so up automatically after the USB cable is plugged in, but I only get fastboot after I reboot with boot loader. Will this be a problem (I haven't done it yet)?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Shouldn't be a problem. Fastboot is fastboot. xD
I thought I would mention I haven't used kffa so I personally don't know if it flashes your boot loader partition or not. But since it was suggested to do it it can't hurt anything even if that wasn't the case. Post the results plz.

Uh I removed safe strap on my device but I can't remember how. It might have involved full wipe or something like that. It is probably not the exact way to do it so don't do it if you don't trust me.

So you uninstalled it then if your getting the dead Android.. You just click uninstall within safestrap. Make sure you delete the created partition.

Download a CWM image, boot to fastboot

Right? You can unlock BL while on safestrap I'm sure, so I don't see why not.
Unless I'm just dumb and SafeStrap isn't installed to the phone's recovery partition...
Just wanted to say thanks for the help. I installed cwm recovery flashed the cm10.2 and the safestrap is no more...

I installed CM 10.2 emmc only to find out the sixaxis won't connect over bluetooth anymore, the whole reason I wanted to root. So does the sixaxis work with a stock rooted rom 2.2.0? Also does USB host work with it?

If you look in the accessories forum, there is a thread discussing that. And I don't think USB host works on stock, but search to find out for sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't device spoofer just for installing and running apps on devices that the apps aren't intended to run on? I'm just trying to pair the ps3 controller with my nook HD. From all the reading I've done, google kind of broke Bluetooth with 4.2. My iPhone would pair with stock nook is so I was hoping maybe a rooted stock ROM (2.1.1) would restore Bluetooth even though I'll be stuck with nook os.

I was not pointing you there about the spoofer, if you read the whole thread, it talks about if the six-axis works and on which ROM. It even talks about running stock on SD as a solution. I know nothing about any of it.

I must have missed it. Thanks for your help pointing me in the right direction
Ok. I installed CWM and rooted 2.1.1. Got the Sixaxis working but I can't open the cyanoboot menu. I've tried holding the power and "n" button and just the "n" button while booting but can't access the cyanoboot menu. I'm trying to install enable unknown sources but no matter what I do I can't access the boot menu. If it helps sometimes when I power back on I get the factory recovery asking if I want to restore to factory maybe indicating something wrong with the CWM install?

No, there is no cyanoboot menu with rooted 2.1.1. You have to boot using the bootable CWM SD that you used to flash the Universal Root zip.

Getting info from you is like pulling teeth. What device are you running? What operating ROM were you running when it developed the boot loop? And describe the boot loop. What logos show and how far does it get when looping? How did you try to install the stock ROM? Did the install complete successfully? What do you mean it won't go when you wipe data? The data wipe does not complete or it completes but still boot loops?

Thank you. But I'm afraid I have bad news for you. With some HD+ running CM11 it does truly brick. I suspect it has to do with CM11 running trim automatically on devices with the buggy emmc chip. And your symptoms match that (the device becomes essentially read only). I know of no known fix. You tried the ones I would recommend and it did not help.
Sorry
Edit: you can still use your device running a special version of CM on SD. Search the dev forum for noemmc. Verygreen made a ROM that will run on SD for bricked emmcs. I think succulent even made a CM11 version.
