No root with 5.3.2. ?
no idea i havent tested it
Dear RootJunky, beginner here on Mac osx and I am having issues with your instructions. Mainly the terminal directions are not working. When I open terminal and do the cd and then drop in your command paste of the file ending in sh nothing is occurring. I have also tried as a test opening that file in Text Wrangler and pasting the contents but it is also not working correctly.
Wondering if you have any idea how to make it work on mac also my fire was trying to update to 5.3.2 I stopped it but not sure if that was a good idea. I restarted the fire and tried again but still no luck. I am on osx 10.11.6
Thanks David
I can confirm that it works with version 5.3.2.0 I have tried it and installed the google store and it works correctly. I have also been able to install Youtube and it works. Removing the ads has not worked and blocking the updates I have not been able to check. Thank you very much.
Great! very useful tool exactly what I was looking for.
My first attempt at using the Mac supertool to root my Kindle 7″ 5th Gen. watched the video and while running step one, the prompt for “password” comes up. I assume that this is a root password? How can I pull this from my device as I can’t proceed any further without it? Thanks!
thats your computer password
WOW! Minutes after writing the above post, it stopped with the optimization process looping over and over again (must have gone through it about a dozen times since I got home earlier today.) It gave me the lock screen for about 3 seconds (oooh, much loner than the 1 second I was getting LOL). Now just keeps rebooting over and over again. (No optimization this time…just plain old reboots.)
Hi. I am very grateful for all the work you have done! I have 5.3.1. Last night, I was able to root the device, install google play store, block updates. remove lock screen ads, and change to Nova launcher. WORKED GREAT! I stayed up until 1AM just having fun with the device.
I plugged it in to recharge, and went to use it when I got home from work today. But… The device repeatedly goes through “Optimizing system storage and applications…” over and over again. Can’t get to the main screen except for a quick (1 second?) view of it before it goes through optimizing again. It’s in a loop of some sort.
Any idea what’s happening? How I can get it back to the rooted device I played with last night?
THANKS!
I just got the update to 5.3.2.0, also. For some silly reason, I considered leaving my device as stock for the first few days I owned it. By the time I decided to root it, I’d been updated and unable to root it. The KingRoot package that was installed has been unable to root my device on either 5.3.1.1 or 5.3.2.0
I’m worried that I’ve lost any hope of rooting it and replacing the OS with CM12.1.
Any hope for 5.3.2.0? Got update today, was going to flash tonight. Thanks Amazon……
not sure i havent tested anything on 5.3.2.0 yet
