I rooted my hero using the 1 click root from the market. I then used rom manager to make a back up image, then flashed cyanogenmod 7.0.2 on it. There was no Market, my home button didnt work, and a few other quirks so I decided to go back to my original os. I clicked on the manage and restore in rom manager. It went thru the process and said restore complete. when it boots up it has overlayed images, and says "the application Settings(process.com.android.settings)has stopped unexpectedly.FC. As i go thru the set up, many of they options are greyed out and not accessable, then when i get to "finish setup" it FC's and says" the application Setup(process.com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. Then i get a black screen. Just wondering if I can get a good Back up image from someone to put on my sd card, then do a restore? I am pretty noob at all this, so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
Mmhmm...first, 1 click bad, second, rom manager...worse in the wrong hands...
Why don't you download the gapps and put it on the root of your sdcard and then flash it after the 7.0.2 and then you'll be ok I'm sure if you take a little time to figure out you may be the only person that can fix your issue. By that, what I mean is in the install steps I'd bet it mentions to install gapps and if it doesn't let me know and I'll get the op to add that step.
As for all your messed up permissions try running fix permissions in rom manager if you can get there.
~maybe I set it too high...
i tried that first but coulnt get it to work, so i downloaded the rom directly from rom manager. The only thing i can do on the phone now is thru clockworkMod recovery
You can do fix permission in cwm also, I think under advanced. Just whatever you do, do NOT format recovery or misc if those options are in your recovery.
If you're in recovery though you're in the right place to flash. It's just
Wipe data /factory reset
Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
Back
Install zip from sdcard and choose the7.0.2 zip and then thesame thing with gapps.
Reboot system
Edit, you could also just try to restore again from cwm. I'm assuming it holds the backup.
~maybe I set it too high...
ok, im off to bed...i will try this in the morning and post my status, thanks for your help so far
Did you ever wipe between installations and flashes? I always play it safe and wipe boot, cache, data, system and dalvik cache when I am flashing different ROMs and when restoring. Try going back into recovery and wipe what I posted and then restore your backup.

I couldnt wait, I had to try it....YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much. I already had Rocksteady and Gapps downloaded on my comp, so i put those on the sd, followed your steps and BAMM! Works great! I can not thank you enough!
I am rooted with customer TWRP recovery. I have a custom ROM installed based on the latest touchwiz, few actual changes. ROM is [ROM][Kernel][G900F|I|M|T|W8][XXU1ANH6][26Sep] Omega v9.0●Omega Files.
I have had problems with unexpected SystemUI crash on v.8.1 of Omega, so I updated to Omega's v.9 when it was released a few days ago, no issues at first. But two nights, as I was grabbing my phone to plug it in, it was in this loop again trying to boot but giving the "unfortunately your systemui has closed". So, I managed to boot to recovery from the power menu (not easy as the error flashes every second), installed the ROM again (no wipe). Installed the latest Framework (which seems to always need an install and re-boot when I install the ROM), the ROM worked again for a few minutes, and then the errors started.
So I installed the ROM with a clean install, full wipe. Can't boot at all after the initial boot when I activated the framework. At first I thought it was one of the modules. I had the following modules installed:
Application Settings
Disable clear defaults dialog
Greenify
Wanam
Xposed G Touchwiz
So I did another full wipe install, ONLY installed the framework, activated the Xposed framework, and it won't boot, same error. I try clearing the cache, dalvik cache, nothing works. So I was forced to do another full wipe install and I'm now running without Xposed. A few other people are having the problem on the OMEGA S5 forum, but it seems very rare and most people running Xposed without a problem. I have the Canadian G900W8 version of the phone, don't know if that's the difference.

Took some advice in the S5 developers forum. Backed up my SD card. Formatted all partitions on phone. Re-formatted SD card with FAT32 in Windows. Made sure everything was cleared out. Copied the ROM (in a PC reader) to the newly formatted SD card. Re-inserted card. Installed 9.1, including Xposed Framework and all the modules I use. Restored my backed up files (pictures, music, TB backup files) to my SD card. After boot I did NOT get the systemui closed error that have been plaguing me for 3 days..
So, it may be that there was something in my configuration, either prior to using Omega or on an earlier version of Omega that caused these problems when I installed Xposed. Hoping that's the end of it. Will let you know.
Lesson for everyone, if there is an issue that is not generally being experienced by everyone else, don't just to a full wipe install, delete everything from everywhere with formats, including your SD card.
I cannot remove superSU to use android pay. Even after going into supersu and using full unroot, the supersu folder is still there.
I've tried going into file manager on twrp, mounting system, and using chmod755 to delete the folder but it comes back every reboot.
I've just done a full factory reset and completely wiped the disk and installed stock miui and upon reboot, I can still see it from twrp, and of course android pay doesn't work.
Please help get rid of supersu, or otherwise get android pay working, I don't care which. It was working before installing supersu. Thanks.
Recently got a kindle fire 7" and wanted to root it and flash a rom onto it, but having troubles with that part.

Tried once with and without rebooting
Rootjunky super tool, installed google play store
Install Flashfire (from play store) ver. .55
Also tried with an apk file ^ (ver. .53)
Set up a wipe for (dalvik, system, 3rd party)
Tried with and without mounting
Crashes after and starts a boot loop going into the amazon logo only
I'm new in regards for rooting, sorry if I'm a bit slow with this.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Check the rom you downloaded is not corrupted, verify hash value. Store it on the tablet not an sd card when flashing.
Reboot the tablet after you install supersu and flashfire. Before you flash the rom, make sure you remove the usb cable.
Don't use auto mount. Make sure you follow the flashfire instructions below. Make sure to move wipe to top of the order !
Fresh installation from FireOS via FlashFire >= 0.55.1
- Click the Red + and choose 'Wipe'
- Ensure System data, 3rd party apps and Dalvik cache are CHECKED
- Click the Red + button and choose 'Flash ZIP/OTA'
- Navigate to and choose the latest Fire Nexus ROM Zip
- Accept defaults
- Move "Wipe" to the Top of the order
- Press the big FLASH button.
- Ignore any warnings that appear

Still nothing, leads me into another boot loop.
New things:
Rebooted after installing flash fire
Verified the hash
Move the rom onto the internal drive (flashed from there)
No Automount
Any other ideas?
IIRC, I had similar issues when first installing a ROM onto my Fire, but that was many months ago, and my memory is a bit fuzzy... IIRC, it had to do with the location of the ZIP. I believe I had to put the zip on my SD card, and then when I wiped my system, I also wiped my data volume. Speaking of wiping...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but are you saying you're installing the zip, and THEN wiping the system? That's going to erase the installation you just flashed. You should be wiping the system, and THEN flashing the zip. The original instructions are here:

IIRC, if you put the ZIP onto the internal storage, it puts it in the Data volume, which is then going to be wiped. FF wipes the data, and then can't find the zip (because it just deleted everything...). Does that make sense?

Had the zip on storage and wiped before flash, nothing :/
Was kingroot fully removed and SuperSU correctly installed ? Are you using the latest nexus ROM dated Feb 2017 ?
Try again this time use fire flash 0.53 included in super tools. Don't install play store or upgrade SuperSU, use the SuperSU included in super tools. Again make sure you restart the tablet after installing SuperSU and after installing fire flash.
With flashfire 0.53 make sure automount is deselected. Include wipe cache options too.
So wipe System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache and cache , flash the nexus ROM. Again make sure before you hit the flash button the wipe action is moved to the top of the list. Make sure no USB cable connected to the device too
In my experience 0.53 flashes really quick , 0.55.1 "can" show a black screen, you might think its failed but it's working in the background but might take 5 mins to flash.
0.53 sometimes fails to open and crashes but i have only seen that when it was used on a device with a custom ROM already flashed on it. It should be fine for flashing on the fire OS system.

I might disagree with a few things you said there...
You only have to remove KingRoot if you're using v5.0 or newer. If you can use 4.9.6 to root, which I believe is what the SuperTool uses, then you can download SuperSu from the play store, update SU binary, then uninstall KingRoot with no issues.
As far as FF is concerned, the ROM developer says 0.55.1 is required, so I wouldn't stray from that.
The only other thing I would recommend is using the not-newest version of the ROM. For the last 6 months, the ROM has been based on a 5.3.2 boot.img, and recently switched to a 5.1.4 boot.img. Maybe the newer firmwares don't like the downgrade? I would try the Feb-2-2017 version of the ROM and try again.
Steps:
Restore to stock 5.3.2 (NOT 5.3.2.1)
SuperTool to install KingRoot 4.9.6 & GPlay
Kingroot to root
Install SuerSU (newest) & FF (newest) from Gplay
Use SuperSu to update SU binary
Put Feb-2-2017 zip on SD card
Use FF to wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik, 3rd party apps, & then install zip from SD.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes & do it's thing.
Having 2 root managers is not a good idea.
Kingroot uses it's own su binaries which may cause problems and clash with SuperSU. Using the script in supertools is a better option as it replaces the superuser su binary with a SuperSU compatible one.
The version of flashfire shouldn't matter, but he is having issue so best to rule it out. The behavior of 0.53 is different to 0.55.1 . it flashes a lot quicker and is fine to use. I've used it several times in the last fortnight with the latest ROM.
The current ROM is fine, boot image and binary change won't cause the issue experienced here. The older ROMs are broken , in so far as either the camera or screen cast won't work. The latest ROM with the proven and stable binary is a better option, everything works
EDIT , also there are reports of several users losing supersuser seemingly random after upgrading to the latest SuperSU , hence why I suggested sticking with the current one on supertools.
I also suggested wiping cache, just incase an amazon update has downloaded while rooting and attempts to install at the same time at the nexus ROM is being flashed.
I have a Fire running Nexus Fire ROM (2/8/17), and my fiance has a Fire running stock 5.1.2 with root, OTA updates disabled, Nova Launcher, and Gplay Store. I wanted to flash hers from Stock to Fire Nexus, and ran into the same issues I had before.
FF was supposed to Wipe System Data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik, and Cache, then install zip, then inject SuperSU. When it did the wipe, it deleted the ZIP on the Internal Store, so FF sat there for 15 minutes not doing anything, and I didn't have a system to reboot into anymore.
I had to do a sideload recovery of 5.1.2, root, install FF, and do all the same steps as above, but this time install the zip from an SD card. Worked great.

I used the SuperTool to root, and this is what I did also. Afterwards, I used the Gplay to update the SuperSU, which updated to the newest binary. I haven't seen any problems as of yet.
Unless internal storage was selected that shouldn't have happened, unfortunate that it did for you. The only time I've seen FF hang was when wipe was in the wrong order or when the USB cable was connected..... Don't know why the USB cable has that effect but I've seen it on 2 devices, other people have not had any problems.
Not seen the issue with SuperSU myself but read plenty of reports about it.
It seems users are affected by several random issues even if following the same instructions.
@Shugumi any update ?
Been swapping out roms and trying each suggestion but its been giving me the same boot loop.
So, I returned the kindle fire, and am waiting to try it on the new coming device :/, but thanks to everybody that replied to this thread. Even though we didn't get to root my kindle, it was great help! Thanks everybody.
So i recently decided to try out some of the different roms that were released for the moto e4. I decided to go back to Resurrection Remix, and when i tried to install the modules I had been using, found that some of them weren't working properly. There are no errors when they install, but seem to have no effect, such as the volume step increase, or the injected youtube background player...
other modules, like the app systemizer seem to be working just fine...

Did you do a clean install? (Completely wipe data and not restore it again in twrp). Some ROMs have trouble with some modules. Get logs and ask in the modules threads (the ones not working).
Clean install, full wipe, same as before, modules worked fine last install on the same rom, restore failed to boot, which is why I needed to reinstall the previously working modules

I had a similar-ish problem on Moto g4 plus RRO.... If you still can't get it to work, here's what I did:
Rom, gapps, boot (usual steps)
Download Magisk APK from XDA
Give it storage permissions
From Magisk Manager, select install
It should ask of you want to direct patch (recommended)- select this option
Reboot and try modules again
I think it's something to do with storage permissions etc. When Magisk tries to patch boot IMG. Check your file systems too. Data partition should be fsfs and all others ext4.
If the steps above don't work try the fsfs Magisk loopback module. It's in the repo and mentions some of the Moto devices having issues with with patching boot img etc for Magisk. The module is installed via TWRP.
:good:
Got it working, somewhat similar process, ROM, gapps, MM apk, then uninstalled the magisk that came built into the ROM, and used the manager installer... Then encrypted, and then opt-enceypt... A script in sbin for my fingerprint from the original ROM and got safetynet passing.
