I watched your YouTube video of how to do this, and I still cannot sign into google. Says there is a problem communicating with google, try again later, which I have and no luck ? I have followed all instructions, I don’t know why it isn’t working, any thoughts?
additional – well after sideloading 5.1.2 (again) I can now achieve root, but flashfire doesn’t load when I push it to the device. The app shows in the list but just briefly flashes up and then closes. ADB and fastboot drivers all work so it’s a bit odd. – apologies for placing this in your comments here. but you made it far too easy.
I am wondering if you have a video / noob cheat sheet for owners that have a 5.1.3 device. I have downgraded to 5.1.2 but ran into an unresponsive server for play store. So I thought I would root and then flash CM12 – unfortunately it won’t accept rooting – as I type I am sideloading the 5.1.2. Question is how do I get CM12 onto the device? Many thanks in advance

Got two rooted Kindle 16GB 5th Gen 5.1.1, root went fine with no issues. I have a slight reboot issue. About once a day the tablet reboots to the lock screen. Here is what I am doing:
1. Running Clash of Clans
2. Running repetitouch to simulate clicks
3. Running SuperSU
About once a day if I look at the tablets one has rebooted to the lock screen and everything is closed, this is why I assume it was a reboot.
Units do get warm, but not really burning hot.
Anyone have ideas what might be causing this?
Used Supertool to install Goggle Play Store.on Amazon Fire 7 5.1.2.
Worked great but after a few days it went into an endless loop of optimizing system storage and applications..
Connected to computer, ran Supertool again, recognized devise, shows serial number then the screen disappears.
I now have a brick. I have watched the video on how to unbrick but no luck.
Any suggestions?
Hey rootjunky,
I’m rooted on 5.1.2 on the 5th gen 7inch. I want to flash a rom but I don’t know which one since 5.1.2 is so new. I really want Slimrom.
I tried your YouTube method for 5.1.1 and slimrom, but the version of FlashFire that Supertool gave is different than the one in your vid(I think it’s newer?). It has all these other options under Wipe and OTA.
Have you successfully flashed any rom to 5.1.2?
Thanks, and I appreciate you and all you’ve done for the Kindle
