Hi, I am new to android.
I have a Asus TF201, stock rom, android version 4.1.1. and I am rooted.
I am trying to get CifsManager to work and i followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928
When I click on "load via insmod" (in CifsManager) my TF201 crashes and resets, trying to load the module through terminal also causes it to crash and reset.
I'm guessing there is a problem with the Cifs.ko as the thread is old and there has probably been updates to android since then.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks.

So I am not entirely clear on this, but I am wondering if I am able to use the B&N provided stock update to 1.4.3 on my Nook Tablet 16GB that was rooted a long time ago using the Zergy simple method.
I got this Nook Tablet the first Christmas they were out and had it rooted by early January using the no frills Zergy method (and the walk through video). This allowed me full root access to the Android 3 OS and disabled OTA updates. I have the 16GB Nook Tablet.
What I want to do is get the latest stock rom, 1.4.3 (which I have already downloaded to my computer), and install it on my Nook. But I don't want to brick it. The device does not have Clockwork on it or any other tools like that. I have been searching around the forum for some clarity on this, but haven't had the best of luck.
Can I just apply the update via the normal install method? Would that brick my device? Would that de-root my device? I realize that their are instructions on how to root that rom, I am just curious.
Do I need to install Clockworkmod or would there be a problem given the method I used to root it in the first place? Do I need to do a full wipe and revert back to stock before installing the update?
I'd suggest that you first try the update process as prescribed by B&N. If that does not work then try restore to stock (e.g., use flash_stock_1.4.2.zip at https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard) then retry the update.
You should back up your NT in its current configuration (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31) before trying the above.
I did have a rooted kindle fire hdx 7" running 3.2.4 quite happily but thought id fiddle with it to get the new nexus rom installed so i did the following
put the 13.3.0.0 installation on my kindle and tried to get it to update it would not co-operate. But as i left it i think it upgraded automatically to 3.2.5
firmware. I may have stopped this before completion im unsure and factory reset. it has however removed safestrap. the kindle is now displaying 13.3.0.0. ive tried putting a few img files on the kindle but its not recognizing the files and not allowing me to upgrade the firmware. The system is still rooted, id just like to get back to a nexus rom. I used the toolkit kfhdx to towelroot , Id apreciate some help. As Ive been playing with the system most of the day without success. Any help id be grateful
Good morning everyone!
Before I'm torn to shreds for not searching, I'd like to say that I have. I have spent the past three hours unsuccessfully attempting to root my unlocked TF201 running 4.1.1. I'm running a mac laptop.
I tried using motochopper but I couldn't get that to work for me. it would say that it had started but after a few minutes, nothing happens. Any advice or any places where I can look for guidance. My ultimate goal is to install Zombie Pop on the device, but I need TWRP before doing that, and before that I need root. Thanks in advance for any guides that are straightforward and that work.
EDIT: Rooted. Trying to install TWRP. [Please Delete Post]
All the best
Davey126 helped me fix my Kindle Fire HDX 7 that was stuck as No OS when I accidentally wiped and formatted it via twrp and now I am running Thor (Android version 4.4.4). I want to return my Kindle to the FireOS and I have tried flashing it via twrp but it says error updating binary in zip. I also tried the "full unroot" option in supersu and it just deleted SuperSU from my app list. I reflashed the Thor via twrp to get SuperSU back in case I needed it to unroot and return to FireOS 4.2.2.1. I am trying to get it back to stock because my WI-FI stopped working on it and I believe it is the antenna but not sure and when I went to Amazon for help they need my tablet's original serial number and other information and I can't access the things they need with it rooted and running Thor. I am hoping to get this fixed but I know they won't help me if they know it is rooted. If you could point me in the right direction for accomplishing this unroot I would be eternally grateful.

A couple terminology clarifications:
- "Thor" refers to the device type (7" third gen HDX) independent of ROM
- Your device is currently running Fire Nexus which is based on Android 4.4.x
Unfortunately, there is no (reasonable) way to return your device to pure stock. You can replace Fire Nexus with a special build of FireOS and remove root but it will always be 'custom'. Amazon bears part of the blame for this as they did not provide a mechanism for reloading FireOS on 3rd and 4th gen devices.
Your device is out of warranty. Amazon will not be able to help with a hardware problem even if you supplied the requested info. It's also unlikely the antenna would spontaneously go bad...especially given the way in which it is internally routed.
Can you provide more details on when WiFi stopped working? Guessing this is a setting/software issue although a hardware fault is not out of the question.
I have been on CM11 for years now and wish to revert back to FIRE OS. How can this be done? I looked around but didn't see how.
EDIT: I found how. Sorry to bother you.

Hi,
So a while back(couple years ago), I successfully rooted my kindle fire hdx and installed cynogenmod(i think cm11) using safestrap because I think I remember reading something about how this specific kindle could not install twrp. Everything was running fine and my root was working. Anyways, fast forward to now I discovered that certain apps that detect root such as banking apps do not allow use on rooted devices. I found something called Magisk which is an alternative root that is hidden from apps. I then downloaded the Magisk manager and tried to install it directly using the app without first unrooting my current SuperSU root.
My device is now stuck in a bootloop with the kindle fire logo. I have tried resetting to factory defaults but it did not help. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

Bootloop was 100% assured regardless of what you did with SuperSU. You'll need to intentionally 'brick' (not entirely accurate) and unlock you device to recover. Upside is you will score a more versatile gizmo that can run a newer version of Android. Downside is procedure is not for the faint of heart. You'll receive little assistance along the way as these devices have fallen out of favor despite being superior to most other <$200 USD Android tablets on the market today. Good luck.
