Rooting Kindle Fire HD7 - fail - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my uncle's KFHD7 on 7.3.0 using root with restore by binary + qemuroot 1.
Or tried to root
I successfully did the first part with the root with restore by binary, but when I continue with qemuroot I get this error:
/system/bin/sh cannot create /data/local.prop permission denied
what can I do? I really need to root it and flash CM11 on it.

Root/Android JB Kindle fire 10.2.3

So for the last 7 hours i've been researching how to root/ install JB or another rom onto this brand new kindle i have running 10.2.3.
I've got ADB running and i've tried Sparkym3 and a few other root methods and i keep getting permission denied when i go to write fbmode or su
SO i'm at a loss, i'd really like to get this installed and working for my handicapped father's new kindle, its his xmas gift, and i know i'd prefer he be able to use google play and stuff.
Any help would be fantastic, this is really rattling my brain.
Unfortunately, you're out of luck with a custom ROM/Jelly Bean, but you can gain access to the play store and lose the ads with root. I tried the automated method in the link below with no success. The qemu tool just quit after step two.
Is this the method you tried?

I just followed this video to the letter, and I was golden. HOWEVER, I was on 10.2.1. I don't know if it will work with .3. Keep me posted because my other daughter's KF2 received the update before I attempted root, and I haven't attempted root on it yet . I renamed the otacert.zip file to prevent the update on the alreay-rooted tablet.

The commands:

adb shell

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb install Superuser.apk
^^^ Method i tried, and failed, wont allow remount, gives me permission denied, i didnt try Qemu at all.
If i could get access to play store i'd be fine keeping it on stock, i just want my dad to be able to use this thing with standard apps.
I think this method is strictly for the kindle fire HD and i'm trying to do it on a standard Kindle Fire.
Hi there,
I,ve got the same issue with my brand new KF Gen2 FW 10.2.3. During the 1st run everythings seems fine (all commands were accepted),
but in the end I was not able to get root access by the superuser-app.
After that I decided to reset the device to factory defaults, but now I'm not able to create any file under /data (echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop).
Has anyone a good idea which way we have to choose to get root access on the KF2 (FW10.2.3)?
Thanks yanzz

My device lets me punch in the echo command but once i hit mount or push i'll get permission denied so i'm at a loss myself. I hope one of these higher end techies can help us make this happen before Christmas time or my dads kindle stays stock :crying:
I actually was able to root my 10.2.1 yesterday, but overnight it appears to have upgraded itself to 10.2.3, and now it's unrooted again.
The original technique to root fails on this step:
<code>
[email protected]:/ $ echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied
</code>
Anyone have any luck?
I'd love any ideas to override the bootloader on thing, since I'm about sick and done with the stock rom.

If you put the 10.2.1 rom back in the kindleupdates folder on the SDCard and go the setting to update the kindle I wonder if it will reset back to 10.2.1. Atleast you could re-root and then try to block the OTA so it wont go back to 10.2.3.

I tried that last night, but it didn't work for me. Does anyone know if the .bin files from Amazon are flashable through fastboot... It would definitely be worth building/buying a factory cable if we could fastboot flash back to 10.2.1, root, and block ota updates.
Not to beat a dead horse but I am having the same trouble with Kindle Fire 2. Lost Root access last night when Amazon pushed 10.2.3. I tried to down-date to 10.2.1 but the .bin file keeps getting deleted from the kindleupdates folder after I press the update button in "settings-device-about". Unfortunately I learned about disabling automatic updates a little too late. Thank you in advance for helping us out. We are not worthy.

I am willing to try the hack posted for the 8.9" bootloader.
However I want to know the restore process works first.
If someone will pull the partitions to restore, zip them and post them I will try the backup on my KindleFire2.
See Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032822
Mine is bricked as of now so trying to restore it won't harm it anymore that it already is.
Once we having a working restore I will try the bootloader crack....and in an exchange with
Hashcode he said he thinks the Original KF roms will then work (WITH SOME KERNEL CHANGES)
for the KindleFire2.
this thread

Just completed hooray!
Now to replace ROM
well it claims its rooted and it has super user installed, but i still cant get past permission denied messages when trying to go ahead and get a new rom on it.
Not sure what to do here, i want to get google aps on it and i'll be fine, but i don't know what file explorer would be good for the stock rom that i can get through the amazon store :\
I'm actually not sure if it is rooted, the first method installed SU onto the phone, but i don't actually see the second portion processing the exploit, its getting permission denied aswell, the kindle has superuser on it, but now i'm completely lost, i still cant get it to do anything....
Edit- ALL DONE YAY
Got googleplay and 1mobile installed, just had to purchase ES file explorer and play around a bit
Any idea why I can't seem to get past these root methods even seeing my kindle is plugged in? I KNOW one of the methods came bundled with some kinda drivers ... I'm just at a loss for what I'm doing wrong because I've tried all sorts of stuff from various posts and instructions...
Running Win7 x64 if that helps any.

Step one is getting ADB hooked up and installed on your computer
if youre telling me your computer is seeing "kindle" then youre already doing it wrong. In order for these methods to work upon plugging in your kindle, device manager should say Android- ADB composite device, or something along those lines,

JB OTA Forgot to Update Superuser binaries but ES File Explorer has Root

I followed the steps here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33774480
But I forgot to update the binaries... actually I did not know I had to click where I need to click in order to update the binaries. I opened SuperUser up and it never said I needed to update binaries like Supersu does. ES File Explorer and Voodoo OTA still has root. Anyway I can fix this issue?
I tried "RestoreRoot.zip" that was posted and it says:

ok, well then, i dont think its going to work, but here what ive done... it might help
Restored with vodoo OTA rootkeeper, saying that root is back ! but not really lol
I've had es file explorer already rooted, so, i just copied the binary files and reboot ... nada ! was having root permission but was denied everytime automaticaly, so i reeponned the es file explorer, and cannont be granted for root acces
i oppened up the super user app, and unavailable to acces root doing the update ......
superuser status was : rwxr-xr-x : conflict (showed in red) -binary : ok (showed in green) - path : ok (showed in green aswell)....
So, that is probably why it wont allow me root acces to succesfully re-update the su binary trough the native way of the superuser.apk
so here what i've done....
Re-used vodoo to reset the root to the old binairies (wich is actually enough for adb to work as root), i've then changed superuser.apk permissions that was actually resseted to :rw-r-x-r-- .... <--- WTF ????
So changed that to : rwxr-xr-x and then, i copied the su binary to the corect place, and boom, voila, was able to set binary permission and use it as usual .....
So my guess is if you guys wont have root on an explorer, adb will have with the old binairies restored from vodoo, so you should be able to change permissions to the /system/app/superuser.apk to : rwxr-xr-x and see if something magic occured that will let you update via superuser.apk in a native way so you wont need to copy/paste the binary manually !
But what i find odd is that you have a permissions denied !
did you tried it with the OLD binairies in place from voodoo directly inside adb shell
if you just type adb shell : ittl go in $ and if u type su (hit enter) you should now see the lasp part of command line protocol changing to : #
Right ?
then you should be able to change permissions of the superuser app ? right ?
or am i completely lost in the dust !?
Edit : well, if you want to keep root on an old leaked, its your thing, but i would recomand THIS tutorial instead cause you have a real ROM through OTA now.... dont know if it will change anything, but i followed this one !

Issues With Installing Busybox

I've tried using the app from the android store, I even was able to install it through that by mounting /xbin using root explorer and then installing it. The problem with that is when I reboot my phone busybox is no longer installed. So I figure I can install it manually using the adb tools but therein lies the problem. I cannot execute the busybox binary from the data folder. These are my steps to trying:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
mkdir busybox
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/busybox
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
chmod 755 busybox
cd /data/local/busybox
./busybox
sh: ./busybox: can't execute: Permission denied
And here I am stuck... btw the binary I downloaded was here: busybox dot net/downloads/binaries/latest/ (under 10 posts cant post links for some reason...) And I downloaded the armv71, which I'm assuming is the right architecture for the moto x. Maybe it's wrong but since the moto x uses a custom architecture, I have no idea what binary to use. Anyways any suggestions would be appreciated.
Well, you're trying to cd to the file rather than the directory containing the file. Not sure if that's the issue or not, but it surely isn't helping.
You have not turned write protect off. Run motowpnomo
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Problem was that I was chmodding the directory instead of the binary also I was missing arguments and the directory of installation. (had to mount system as root as well).
Well I was able to get it to install but the problem is the write protection, when I reboot my phone all the files that were in the /system/xbin directory were gone. Unfortunately that program no longer exists, all links point to a "Page Not Found" page. I would rather not download it from an unofficial source so I'm sol unless I can install it through recovery but I have no idea how to go about doing that and I don't see any instructions.
Thanks for the help guys.
Well, I think this is new: just downloaded Stericson's BusyBox Pro installer (as usual) to my Moto X Play on 6.0 Marshmallow and it is asking for the unusual default installation path of "/su/bin". As you know, " system/xbin" or "system/sbin" are usually the preferred installation paths for BusyBox, so this change simply got me stuck in the process thinking where to install BusyBox. My first thought is BusyBox auto-choose where to be installed according to system characteristics and I should go on and just install where it is asking me to, but... I don't know. Does somebody have a similar experience?

Can't root my S5830 2.3.6 - tried everything.

Yesterday I installed Windows XP on my PC, cause I couldn't install phone drivers on 8.1. I downloaded Odin for S5830 and flashed a Polish 2.3.6 ROM (from updato.com) over the existing 2.1. Next I flashed 5.0.2.6 fix CWM. Then I realized, that to root my phone I need to have a stock recovery, so I flashed it and then rooted with root.zip. I ran the phone to look if there's a superuser app and there was, so I flashed the CWM back. When I wanted to upgrade the CWM (to flash custom ROMs) via terminal, I typed 'su' and it said that I don't have root access, so I installed an app to see if I have root and it said, that I don't. I tried everything to root my phone. I flashed the ROM again, did a factory reset. Every time I tried to root, it was like it's rooted but not or it failed to root. What I did wrong?
My guess is that the root.zip didn't install the su binary correctly(E.g. into the wrong path so that the vendor su binary is still called).
To verify that, you could try(from the terminal):
echo $PATH
That should show you a ":" seperated list of paths in which the shell(The thing running in the Terminal) looks for a binary.
You'd now need to go through every path in this list, and check for a su binary. If you find one, run it. For example:
ls /example/path/su
If this finds a file(indicated by it showing the filename, su), run it:
/example/path/su
If you find more than one su binary, chances are that one of them will work. If you don't find any su binary, the root.zip probably wasn't able to remount rw.
If you're a little more advanced, you could try rooting your phone manually(I needed to to this yesterday because I'm on linux):
Download SuperOneClick 2.3. The .zip contains a folder called exploits. These programs initially get you the root permissions. To use them, adb push them to /data/local/tmp (Because you have write and execute permissions there), and execute them. They either directly drop you to a root shell or restart the adbd with root permissions. Either way, you can then remount /system and copy the su binary from the SuperOneClick to your /system/bin and set the correct permissions. I can't really recommend this method unless you know what you're doing though.
Good luck!

What directory on the kindle are you copying the mtk-su file to?
The ADB shell has the necessary access in some folders only, so the target folder matters.
/data/local/tmp worked fine for me.
For me the following worked:
(Computer) adb push mtk-su /data/local/tmp
(Computer) adb shell
(ADB shell) cd /data/local/tmp
(ADB shell) chmod 755 mtk-su
(ADB shell) ./mtk-su
I did do this on os 6.3.1.2 though. If this does not work on 6.3.1.4 anymore, you might want to downgrade to 6.3.1.2 via ADB sideload first.

(ADB shell) chmod 755 mtk-su
(ADB shell) ./mtk-su
I did do this on os 6.3.1.2 though. If this does not work on 6.3.1.4 anymore, you might want to downgrade to 6.3.1.2 via ADB sideload first.

I dont believe Downgrading is an option. You need to do the hardware method to unlock. ADB sideload has been removed from stock recovery. Downgrading involves brick risk also. This thread should have most of the answers you seek.

So I'm trying to root my fire 7 9th gen (os ver 6.3.1.4)
And the problem is mtk-su says permission denied (sw method btw)
I'll literally follow every step correctly
And it will just say perrmission denied when I run ./mtk-su
If anyone can help me thanks in advance
