Take the advice. Read. It's all there. Just rooted my son's Kindle with 7.5.1 a bit ago. Got CM11 on it. Much easier than it
Was a year or so ago. Added bonus, if you search and read how to do it, and follow the instructions carefully, less of a chance of bricking, and better chance that if you mess up, you'll know how to fix it without having to ask for help.

I'd like to get in on this too. I have a KFHD 7.5.1 too and all the rooting into I find is for older versions.

Hi,
Since I'm still on the 1.31.405 rom its still easy to root for me, but I would like to keep the stock rom (I really need a stable ROM and fm radio) is there anyone who can give me the stock 2.05 rom with root?
Thx in advance

Did you root this yourself or just got it from google?
Cause I really don't want to screw up my phone by flashing a faulty rom that someone just randomly posted on the internet.
Or isn't it possible to brick a phone just by flashing a faulty rom?
No, I havent rooted it. I got it from this forum. If you search you may find the actual thread. Maybe Blayo......cant be sure. I havent flashed it yet.

seriously? I've tried searching before posting, quite a lot actually never found a threat, neither do I now :s
But if it's from xda it'll be safe I guess
search for arzme in members list and then all posts by him and you may find the thread and confirm its validity yourself.
i have downgraded my legend because i wanted to root.
But i think that i dont want it anymore.Can i just start this and then i have 2.05 again.
for this i dont need root right? because i only have downgraded.
I've just tried it, when I booted it for the first time it said something in chinees or tawanese I don't know. It also doesn't have dutch
Anyone who knows a rooted 2.05 rom which has dutch?
thx in advance

Hello all,
I've been reading and downloading from xda for over a year now (sgs- darky's rom mainly), and this is my FIRST POST!
I know i can find my answer just by looking but i really wanted to post for the first time so here's my question- My tab is in the post (got it from ebay as i'm a pauper and can't afford it new, or the 8.9 or 10.1) and obviously want to root it straight away. I've seen that some are using z4 root but my sgs won't accept this method, can i be sure it'll work?
take care fellow "tabbers"

KERNEL 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
PDA- P1000XWJJ7
PHONE- P1000XXJK5
CSC- P1000CPWJJ5
I need to get gingerbread (at least) on this thing straight away! Or any cool roms you can recommend?
How do i find out if it's GSM or CDMA? i'm in the UK... That is probably a really stupid question, but i'm a stupid guy... A stupid guy who loves android and wants to learn more!
Any links to the right places would be really appreciated
First you're not stupid. You're just new and learning.
Second your tab judging by its firmware is gsm european tab.
Third you can root using superoneclick root.
Fourth. Head to the development section and you will find alot of great roms (or click on my sig if you're interested in overcome). JUST BE SURE TO READ ENTIRE GUIDES AND STUDY THEM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.

+100000000000000 (I'd keep my finger depressed on the 0 key longer, but you get the point)
So many people get themselves into trouble by not reading instructions or skipping ahead.
Easy to get yourself into trouble, can be VERY hard getting out...
Thank you for all the help, most kind I'm at work now so will try some bits tomorrow, managed to get rooted before leaving tho

Your tab is rooted already. Look at the kernal version. In your apps you will see something called Superuser. Tap it. If its there and opens you are rooted.

That's what really confused me, the kernel said root on it, but no super user was there and none of my purchased root apps could aquire root.... so I used super one click as advised and hey presto! Still confused as to why it said that on my kernel tho...

Someone tried to return the tab to stock. The busybox was probably there too. Anyway, you are good now. What's next?

Thanks all, I installed the overcome gold rom last night and all is well
Just out of interest as i'm un-learned, how can you tell if the bootloader is signed? (As far as I can tell) it hasn't affected the rom installation... could it?
Thanks all for the support!

I don't know which Rom is best for my t-mobile device which is rooted stock Rom 2.2.2 and want to upgrade rom. I know their are bugs in some so whichever has the least bugs and crashes would be great help and cut back the extensive reading thru tons of posts. Links to download Rom would be sweet too. I am a noob, but I got it figured out.

If you don't do that reading then you are going to have trouble so my answer to you is to read because you are FAR from having it figured out

Hi,
I bought a samsung exhibit II 4g from walmart last year. The phone was not very responsive for the past couple of months and hence I contacted T-Mobile customer support. They provided me the instructions to upgrade the firmware on my phone and I tried that with Samsung Kies. It is one of the worst software I have ever seen in my life. The firmware upgrade stalled at 3% and the only option I had was to take the battery out of the phone. Then when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I tried to fix it samsung kies and it did not work. My phone was not working for 3 days when I was doing the research to fix it.
Finally, I followed the Exhibit Wiki on xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131576) and followed the ODIN method to install the custom ROM (I could see that it is the latest firmware for this phone). Everything worked on the third try, but Wi-Fi was not. When I clicked on Wi-Fi from settings, it displays "Error" under it. I tried Wi-Fi fixer, but it did not help.
I tried a factory reset and that did not help too.
Can some one help me? I need to get Wi-Fi working on my phone.
Thanks,
Balaji.

Hi,
I did the following things and now my wifi is working.
1. Installed custom rooted kernel t679-root-v1.8.zip.
2. Installed Root Uninstaller Pro by downloading the .apk from playstore and installed it.
3. Uninstalled some stock apps from the phone.
4. Installed CWM Recovery.
Tried turnin on Wi-Fi and now it works.
Thanks,
Balaji.
Glad to hear it is all working out now. Don't worry about root uninstaller. Chances are you will never need it. At least you got here before you managed bricking the phone from following other guides not meant for this phone.
Good luck and remember the only dumb question is the one not asked. Feel free to ask when you find you need advice or guidence. Someone will always be here to help.

I see that xda-developers forum is very active and provides a wealth of information. Though it took couple of days to understand the basics and things, I was able to fix the phone using the information from the forums. Thanks for keeping this forum active and up-to-date. I am marking this thread as SOLVED.

I just updated my KFHD to 11.3.2.2 and was wondering the procedure to root it? Alot of the post say that they have the same version number as me and rooted, yet i couldnt find a tutorial on how they did it. I have root experience w/ my Droid RAZR Max HD so I'm not a total noob, im just having a tough time w/ this device. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
Any luck with this?

I am trying to do the same thing but the different versions of the tablet have me nervous to just jump in. I have Kindle Fire HD 7" 8gb WiFi 11.3.2.2.
i also have the same issue. i have a kindle fire hd 7" second gen with version 11.3.2.2 and i have yet to find a root procedure/files that work with my kindle. and i also havent found any android versions to work with it. i am not experienced in roooting so if someone could please post a complete procedure plus files of the entire process it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I do have rooting experience but there is no exploit for 11.3.2.2 at this time I tried the all in one tool with the fastboot cable so I guess we just wait until one over the developers work their magic.
lol 11.3.1 was nice with root. wtf forgot to disable OTA's with kindlefree and now this sucks
i just tried the root for 11.3.1.0 and it failed of course. using 11.3.2.2 now
