Used Supertool to root Amazon Fire 7 5.1.2 and everything worked…for awhile.
A few day later it went into an endless loop of Optimizing system storage and applications.
Tired to unbrick. I get the following message…adb is not recognized as an integral or external command, operable program or batch file.
If i try to get into the Supertool, everything seems to work fine for awhilce. It recognizes the device, shows the serial number of the device, and then the screen disappears.
Any suggestions?
Thank you to all who contributed, I appreciate you & the effort you placed into this tool. For me personally, simplicity is best when it come to such endeavors. -Thank You for you time, you’ve created a great tool. Peace
Note: I’m on 5.1.2, the tool didn’t work for me at first. Even after multiple reboots and attempts, trying different {but similar} methods through PC and Fire Tablet. What finally did it was a fresh reset to factory defaults of Fire Tab. (Worth it) Trying this time with additional storage in device removed. And a install of the RootJunkysdl.com provided drivers with device not connected to PC. Then after drivers were installed I rebooted my PC and ran The SuperTool, then I made sure the only main application running was the SuperTool. I also verified that the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media” Icon was at the bottom right corner before I started. (It’s the small USB with green check mark next to it) It didn’t pop up on first plug in. I hope this helps skeptics and people ready to throw in the towel. Mann, I almost restored my PC to Factory default. And one more thing for some odd reason Device Setup: Installing media. For the device, is stuck on like 5% or so. Don’t let this discourage you. Just install the drivers manually and x that out/ignore it. Funny enough, now there are two of these in my task bar as I type. Peace N Happy Rooting.
I have a Fire 5th gen 7″, 5.1.1. I flashed slimrom with flashfire and now It`s stuck on slimrom boot screen. I can not access ADB recovery, only FastBoot.
I tried to boot a recovery .bin partition in order to get ADB and be able to flash it back to stock, however I always get:
downloading ‘boot.img’…
OKAY [ 0.129s]
booting…
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.146s
What I`m trying is possible? Can I boot to the original recovery partition, using:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.bin?
How? Thank you,
ok I need help! I run the first bat file and it shows my device then does nothing? I’m running windows 10 and the kindle is running Fire OS 5.1.2
extract the supertool to your desktop and try again
windows 7, fire os 5.1.2
the adb install didn’t complain, but didn’t get much feedback
so I tried to install root
“installing kingroot now
error: device ‘null’ not found
– waiting for device –
and it stops there.
you can ignore/delete my comment. i tried again and got everything settled out.
again, thanks for the work you’ve done in creating an awesome tool.
Rooted and back to Nova in the simplest of processes thanks to ROOTJUNKY. The difference between FireOS and Nova is incredible. I’m so happy to have MY tablet back. Rootjunky, can’t thank you enough. The new script worked like a charm, you’re a very clever boy! Well done mate, highly recommended new script.
Regards,
Pete
thanks for the report glad it worked for you

connect the tablet to your wifi
tablet is connected to the WI-FI but the problem persists
is there any other way to get Root
Kingroot consistently fails to root on 5.1.2. I’m using the updated kit from 4/4.
it works just reboot and try again. also make sure the screen doesnt turn off
You’re right, I eventually got it to work. Unfortunately, after a week or so of use the tablet went into a boot loop. It keeps going to “Optimizing system storage and applications…” Sometimes loads all the way, but then a moment later will reboot and do it all over again. Not quite sure where to go from here.
Just to update, followed your guide on firmware restore and it solved the boot loop issue. Not sure if I want to re-root or just let my daughter deal with the ads on her lock screen. Tempted to just leave it as-is now that it’s working. At least Google Play store is still working. Interestingly, the firmware reset didn’t wipe that or any of the apps she’d loaded from it.
Is it possible to do a kids launcher through the super tool? I have be trying to install on on 5.1.2 and can not get it to work. Thanks Eric.
