any news on the 5.3.2.1 root yet?
not that i have seen
I tried to root my Kindle Fire 7 (4th Generation) running FireOS 5.3.1.1 using KingRoot 5.0.5 about 10 times, but no luck. This XDA article (https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695) says I can downgrade to FireOS 5.3.1 from 5.3.2 and use SuperTool to root, but no mention of 5.3.1.1. Another XDA article (https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-downgrade-to-4-5-3-root-device-t3139351) says to downgradee to 4.5.3 for KingRoot to work. Too many options to try. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Hi, I’ve tried to get kingroot to root my kindle running 5.3.1 ,but it just won’t root. It gets to around 70% and fails over and over. I even tried the latest version 5.0.3…. Thoughts? I thought if I kept it at 5.3.1 Kingroot would work.
I have run your script for the 5 gen fire to allow google play store. All goes well, I get a list of 4 scripts to run, I think #1 goes well and when I try to run the # 2″install google play store”, I go to a blank script screen and nothing. I tried waiting 5 minutes on the screen but still nothing. Any suggestions?
Just trying to root up some Kindle fire baby, would love it if KingRoot would get past 70% root before giving up on me what a quitter! Kindle 5.3.2.1 seems like a big mistake why did I upgrade again?
yeah until a new root method comes out you are out of luck on that firmware
I know this might be a difficult question to answer, but is there any estimate on how long it will take to push out a root for 5.3.2.1?
nope sorry
Didn’t do my research – tried to downgrade from 5.3.2.1 and I think I hard bricked my Fire. It won’t even boot into recovery and does the thing where if it’s connected to the PC it connects every so often for 2-3 seconds and then disappears. Guess this one is done!
yes its hard bricked try and return it to amazon
Hoping that root will be here soon for 5.3.2.1. had a custom ROM but had to reinstall fire OS because of bugs. Now stuck with Fire OS 🙁
yeah i hope so also
