Tips for Hacking Android Devices
- Never flash, root, or hack your Android device unless it has more than 80% battery life.
- Ensure you have at least an hour to flash or hack your Android device and always have access to a computer.
- Always make a Nandroid backup before flashing anything to your Android, just in case.
- Research thoroughly. Read numerous forums and watch instructional videos before attempting any modifications. If you don’t understand something, you might make mistakes.
- Remember to express gratitude to those who help you, including developers and fellow enthusiasts.
- Every Android device is unique, with its own set of tricks and potential issues, so study up accordingly.
- Learn how to return the device to its stock condition before attempting any hacking—whether that involves SBF, AP fastboot, FX, Odin, or ADB file transfers.
- The Android community is a welcoming place; there are no stupid questions.
- Make sure you know all the device information in the settings before hacking, including the model number, Android version, build number, and more.
- The most common problem during rooting or using a utility is driver installation. Download and run the driver install files, then connect your device to your PC. Enable USB debugging in the device settings (usually under developer options). Additionally, ensure the Android device is set to all available USB modes, which can be adjusted in the notification bar. If issues persist, use a program like USBDeview for driver uninstallation and reinstallation. You can find it on the My Downloads page.
Hi Rootjunky,
I recently atempted to root a kindle fire, not sure what generation the system was 4.0.3_10.5.1. I used your Amazonfire 5th Gen Supertool all seemed to work up to the point of installing supersu and removeing kingroot.
I am using a linux system (mint).
supersu started to install then said it needed to update and couldn’t with message install failed. Icon was on desktop but orange in color pressing only took you through same failure again.
Should I unzip the supersu-v2.46.zip inside the Amazonfire5thGenSupertool/apps directory, perhaps.
Googleplay went on but gooleservices kept shutting down could not logon.(did this after atempted root)
Did a reset so all gone now. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.
Great work by the way thanks for your efforts,
All the best
Wayne

I watched the two videos on how to bypass the Google account recovery lock on my Galaxy Note 5. I tried BOTH methods and neither worked. I downloaded the file to a flash drive and used that OSG cable to plug it into the phone but nothing happened. I also tried the method where you turn off the wi-fi real quick and set a screen lock to access the camera then download the file directly. Only problem is, on my phone there is no camera on my screen lock page. I was able to set the screen lock but I have no camera icon to get into the download.
I’m having same issue.Did u figured it out?
