Hello,
I am having issues with your download site. I often cannot reach it (it times out), and when I can get through, I can only partially download the toolkit. It quits partway through.
Thanks for your help
that problem has been fixed
Help!!! I have rooted and flashed cyanogenmod onto my amazon fire but device will not reboot, just stuck on Amazon logo splashscreen. What to do now?
you need to restore the stock firmware with ADB sideload to fix it
Hi, having issues trying to root amazon fire 7″ running 5.3.1, super tools works but it show this error: Invalid APK file: apps\kingroot.apk
How can you tell which version of OS you are running after you root and turn off OTA Updates?
When I select “System Update” it just blanks out and goes back to the settings screen.
Does this not work with 6th gen? 🙁
I take it the new 5.3.2 version can not be rooted?
I came across this page from a comment on a YouTube video showing how to install Google Play Services without root on the Fire 7. I had successfully installed Google and many apps from the Play store using the no-root method, but just recently I am no longer able to connect to the Play Store or YouTube or anything to do with Google Services.
I was wondering if those who have rooted have noticed the same issue and whether or not it’s related to an Amazon software update/patch to prevent this very thing.
Any progress on a Root for 5.3.2??
nothing yet
I got past the last problem I posted but now I’ve run into a new one…
I found a place to download FlashFire v0.53, and it opened and I tried to install SlimROM and mini_gapps. It seemed like it was working – commands were scrolling across a black screen – but at some point my Fire shut down. When I restarted it it made me go through the registration process again, and then there were no apps on the home screen. I tried rooting it again, which seemed to work, but there were still no apps (including SuperSU). I tried resetting to factory settings … still a blank home screen.
I tried re-installing the Play Store, and now I am stuck at the “Optimizing System Storage…” stage for about an hour.
Any ideas?
I just posted this on XDA and then realized this would be a better place for my noob questions…
I have a new Fire 5th Gen on FireOS 5.11, and I am trying to install SlimROM. I have succeeded in installing SuperSU and Google Play and the Nova launcher, and disabling OTA updates.
When I get to installing FlashFire, the download link is broken, but I noticed that RootJunky’s SuperTool has a menu option to install FlashFire. When I try that, I get the following:
[*] Installing FlashFire app this will take some time
——————————————————————————–
[*] Installing app
Invalid APK file: apps\FlashFire-v0.53.apk
——————————————————————————–
[*] FlashFire Installed check your Apps on the device.
Needless to say, there is no FlashFire app on my Fire now (and the process did NOT “take some time”). I have “Apps from Unknown Sources” enabled.
What do I need to do to get FlashFire installed? Do I need an older version of FlashFire to work on 5.1.1?
