I have a Kindle Fire that I recently gave to my 9yr old daughter... She likes to play "MineCraft" on it and asked me to get a skin changer for her avatar, Well.... To get new skins I have to root the Kindle fire THAT IS WHAT IM HAVING TROUBLE WITH!!
So, I went to your Kindle fire root web page @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125628 and did the steps:
1. Turn your Kindle Fire on and swipe down the top bar and tap on More+
2. Goto device and turn on the “allow installation of applications” button (ontop of the reset factory defaults)
3. Go back and then goto Security and turn on the “enable ADB” button
4. On your PC Figure out if you have 32 bit or 64 bit windows running and download the correct versions of java and android sdk below:
5. Download and install Java se7u11 the JDK file. From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...s-1880260.html. This is needed for the android SDK to work (otherwise ADB wont work). You may have to register and reboot
6. Download android SDK then extract the folder to your desktop and install the (green icon). download from https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
7. If you have installed java and the android sdk – you should get the following screen:
8. If SDK manager asks you to install any missing packages (button on bottom right corner) then install them/accept and install
9. Download then extract to desktop and install the Kindle fire ADB Drivers (don’t worry if there’s an error message – Just install Anyway as its an unsigned file. Download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838
10. Open up device manager ie start/control panel/hardware and sound/devices and printers/device manager
11. Turn on your kindle and plug it into the PC
12. Your kindle should be recognised in device manager as Andriod composite adb interface.
13. Download Bin4rysroot from here http://uploaded.net/file/0fpyh5c5
14. download Quemu root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838
15. Extract both the above files to your C Drive into two new folders and rename the folders Qemu (for quemuroot contents) and Root (forbin4ryroot contents)
16. THE ROOTING PART NOW!!
17. On the Pc goto Start and type in CMD then right click on the CMD icon at the top of the window and select “Run as Administrator” and hit yes if the User Account Control window pops up and a dos window will appear
18. Copy and past (or type this into the window) cd ..\..\Root then hit enter
19. Copy and past (or type this into the window) runme.bat then hit enter
20. When the screen shows an interface, type 1 then hit enter, A lot of errors will show up but that's fine
21. When your kindle shows a "Restore" screen hit restore my data your kindle will restore and reboot (may take some time be patient!)
Ok... I hit "Restore" on the Kindle Fire screen and it rebooted to a black screen with a black background and the lock symbol on it... And THEN... NOTHING
I waited for 30 minutes for it to move on and for cmd prompt to find the device again and it never finds the device, I tried to unlock the Kindle Fire screen and it started wiggin out by flashing the word "Kind Fire" in the back drop and now I cant get it to stop flashing it. It is acting real sluggish also! WHAT DO I DO NEXT???? :highfive:
Please help!
Thank you Very Much

I've been sitting on my 4.5.91 update for a month or two now, out of sheer laziness/I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm currently running Android 2.2.2, update 4.1.83, and GingerBlur 3.1. I have a recovery image, yet when I try to boot into Fastboot, nothing happens and holding the up volume button only locks me into a "Starting RSD protocol support" screen. I'm a little lost,and my Android-savvy roommate is as well. Any help would be appreciated!
-My roommate has reviewed my post and says I should mention I'm trying to push a ROM through Fastboot, but my PC won't recognize my phone.
download and extract
Android-sdk-windows
to the c:\ on the pc
then go to android-sdk-(yourpc) folder open it and run the installer
choose the first 2 packages check tools
and platform tools then unckeck 4.0

1. Download the SDK from here -> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2.Extract using something like WinRar
3.Copy the folder in the sdk and name it

Another $ should pop up
And your done. Close everything,
disconnect phone, turn off phone and
then turn it back on again.
16. Now the phone will be set to install
all apps you install onto the SD card.
However, current apps on phone will
mostly still be stored on the internal
memory .
This process doesn't move these apps for
you .
So you must now manually move those
already installed on the phone.
To do this, go to settings / applications /
manage applications
Then you just click on an app, and the
move to SD card box should no longer be
Grey .
So you must now move all the apps you
want onto the SD Card.
I MUST NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOUR BELOVED O1
today many phones are rooted but still someone will be there who does not want root for them try this :fingers-crossed:
This process is more complex than rooting the phone :banghead:

I know I too have done this successfully
but in around 25mins
As the title says my LG L3 E430 wont boot up. The LG logo appears for a moment, disappears, then reappears with the words Security Error beneath it. It then shuts down
Confession time...Been a long time since I rooted my HTC and jumped straight in to the "how to" below out of boredom I guess!.....
STEPS:
1. Set your device on download mode (shutdown the phone, then press "ON + Volume Down") and connect via USB on your PC
2. Download this file: m eg a.co . n z /#!AgxRTZDA!Z0Ni-g5eg9D-X9YEwVcKCFN8hpYwvbex6YCop5MTqfo (remove spaces, i cant post a entire url for the new users restrictions, sorry)
3. Install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi)
4. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
5. Set "Type" on "3GQTC" and "PoneMode" on "DIAG"
6. Select V10E_00.kdz from the folder that you downloaded
7. Click on "Launch software update" and wait a few minutes
8. After it finished, put Framaroot-1.6.0.apk on your SDcard or Internal memory
9. Autorice external apps on phone options, then use a file explorer to allocate and execute Framaroot, use Gandaf exploit
Everything seemed to go as planned until step 8. My PC no longer recognised the phone so I removed SD card and copied Framaroot to it. It was around this time I remembered about bootloader and thought DARN! I've screwed up
Anyway before I get the pleasure of smashing it with a sledge hammer (hated it from day one!) I thought I would ask if there is anyway back from this situation....
It will go into download mode but pc doesn't see it and I cant access it because, as I said, it turns on, Security Error comes up and then it shuts down.

Many thanks...worked a treat:good:
Almighty! lets get started,
I have a 64 bit computer running Windows 7 professional.
First let me mention I tried to fix this on my own. darn I tried.
Just plugging the tablet into computer shows a windows explorer page named Autoplay that let me view pictures on device on a folder named
Computer\Trio HD Elite 7.85 Tablet
Installed android-studio-bundle-141.1903250-windows in
Error- SDK required.
Downloaded jdk-7u79-windows-x64 (java development kit)-install reboot PC
Open C:\Andriod in windows explorer, open SDK Manager
A command prompt window flashes briefly, then closes.
click start, search for run key in sysdm.cpl go to advanced, environment variables create new path named JAVA_HOME that does directly to the java .exe file
(this was checked by reinstalling the java development kit, then opening Java typing where java it tells me C:\Windows\System 32 even though the path is
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79
opening ADB works!
Download Extras- Android USB Driver
open CMD key in
cd C:\Andriod\platform-tools
this brings me to the directory where Android ADB is.
abd devices
no devices detected.
Installed Samsung Kiles.
TRIED to install PDAnet.. failure.
tried to open Device manager, where a entry marked Trio HD Elite 7.85 Tablet sits, and update the driver to the C:\Andriod\extras\google\usb_driver
it complains about driver being unsigned. Using This guide I used step Two downloaded Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider (DSEO) and ran it.
went into the C:\Andriod\extras\google\usb_driver folder and manually keyed in every title in the folder.
each time program stated had signed successfully. The computer is now saying test mode in the bottom right hand corner. however trying to update driver gives same error.
I'm amusing the device needs to be in developer mode, which it cant be put into because it's locked.
The Trio Support is useless there steps do not open any settings. Also tried a list of alternate ways to open tablet recovery. and since ADB isn't reconizing the device I can't run adb reboot recovery
So. end result, im here with coffee and no milk,
A generic tablet cobbled together from who knows where,
and a locked screen.
Think you can help?
ANY assistance is appreciated.
So i have a cheap generic tablet that says Trio Stealth G4X 7.85
Symptoms
The classic symptoms of the issue are at some point the Nvidia Dreamtab will stop booting and hang at the Dreamworks characters screen and never boot any further. The frequency ranges from once a month to a year. You are able to factory reset and the issue goes away for some periodicity and then returns.
NOTE: If you recently bought a new Nvidia Dreamtab and you have this character freeze right after doing the OTA then this probably isn't the issue, I am working on a different fix for that problem in this thread. If however this solution does fix your issue I'd like to hear about it.
Background
The tablet uses the linux ext4 filesystem. The Dreamtab kernel requests a filesystem check every 20 partition mounts(typically during reboots) or when the files system is marked dirty(the tablet is hard powered off, or some other glitch). The tablet is missing the fsck binary which is the filesystem checker similar to what you might have seen in windows with chkdsk. Without this file the tablet can not check filesystem and the kernel waits indefinitely for that to happen and your tablet sits and the Dreamworks characters.
Solution
Temporarily boot to a program(TWRP) that can install the filesystem file on the tablet. To temporarily boot to TWRP the bootloader must be unlocked. The unlock procedure requires erasing all information on the tablet which isn't an issue if you are currently experiencing the problem as a factory reset was the only way to recover anyway. If you have a working tablet and want to apply this fix you should find a way to backup your files prior to attempting this. To better understand how the low level Nabi functions this should be required reading and will help better understand what you are doing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
Procedure
Only for Nvidia Dreamtab NV08B. Use this at your own risk, your warranty is void. You will lose all personal data on the device
Link to video Youtube video installation
1) Down load the drivers.
-- There are 3 popular options included in the link from above in the driver section of the Nabi General Information thread. Have them handy for the next step.
2) Download TWRP recovery.
-- The file is attached at bottom of post. DTTWRPinstaller300.zip
-- Note: You can automate some of the bootloader unlock and installing TWRP steps below with the install.bat file if you have a working Nabi.
3) Download the fsck patch.
-- The file is attached at bottom of post. NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip
4) Reboot to fastboot protocol
-- With Nabi powered off press and hold the power button and the vol + button until a small menu(bootloader menu) appears. Quickly release both buttons or the tablet will start booting normally. Using the vol- button to highlight the fastboot protocol(2nd option from top) and then press the vol+ button to select it. Note: Depending on if the drivers are installed the screen will change or stay the same.
5) Verify drivers installed or install drivers.
-- Open windows device manager. On Windows 10 type "device manager" in to the Cortana search bar. On other versions open run by pressing the "windows key" in lower left of keyboard while also pressing R key. Then type: devmgmt.msc
-- If you have "Android Device" and it's sub menu says bootloader/fastboot then you are set up. If down by "other devices" you have an unknown device then you will need to install the drivers from the selection and download you made from reading the Nabi General Information thread.
6) Unlock the bootloader
-- This step will ERASE ALL information on the tablet.
-- Unzip the DTTWRPinstaller300.zip to a location of your choosing. If you use Windows built in unzip utility make sure you check the box that says to open when unzipping is complete.
-- Hold the shift key on the keyboard while right clicking on the "files" folder. Then select "open command window here"
-- At the prompt type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Note: You need to move quickly to the tablet and do the next step as there is a timeout
-- On the tablet it will ask if you want to unlock. Using the vol- key select "yes" with vol+ or pwr. If you do this properly in the command window on your computer it will tell you it is erasing the device.
7) Temporary boot TWRP
-- I can't remember if after the bootloader unlock if tablet is at fastboot, or if you have to power off the tablet and do step 4 again. I think you can just proceed.
-- At the prompt type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
8) Get the patch file on the tablet
-- Option A: There are a couple options for this. Check the file explorer on your computer. If you see t8400n as a device you can just copy and paste the NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip to the internal storage by copy and pasting in windows. Go to step 9.
-- Option B: Insert a microSD card in your computer and copy the NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip to your microsd card and insert the sdcard in the tablet.
-- Option C: If the t8400n does not show up on your computer then you will need to transfer via ADB. This will require you to setup the ADB driver like you did for fastboot in step 5. Now in sub Android Device in Device Manager you should see ADB, if you don't install driver.
--Copy the NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip to the "files" folder where you extracted DTTWRPinstaller300.zip. It should be in a folder with adb, fastboot, AdbWinAPi, etc
-- At the command prompt type:
Code:
adb push NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip /sdcard
9) Install patch
-- In TWRP on tablet click the install tab. Generally you will now see the NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip if you picked option A or C. If not navigate to the sdcard folder. If you picked option B navigate up a folder and find external_sdcard folder and look in there.
Note: For external_sdcard it may be necessary to exit to TWRP main menu and select mount tab and make sure Micro SDcard is checked.
-- Once you have found the NV08B_FSCK_PATCH.zip from inside the install tab you can select it and then swipe to install. You should get verification it completed normally.
I know this is rather old, but I have a couple of these tablets I'm trying to get working again to give to a friend's kids, but this doesn't seem to work. Did you have to have USB debugging checked before the tablets stopped booting in order for this to work properly?
Basically I can do all the fastboot stuff without any errors, but when I try to boot to TWRP all the tablets do is pretty much rotate the screen 180° so the bootloader screen is in the opposite corner and the volume buttons no longer work until I hold power for ten seconds to power it off... Any help is greatly appreciated!
