Unroot not working? - Kindle Fire Android Development

It seems that rooting works just fine using SuperOneClick or the RootKindleFire.com method, yet when I unroot it seems to get stuck in this limbo, where it doesn't have Superuser or root access, but SuperOneClick thinks the device is still rooted and Amazon Video is disabled.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it without factory restoring?
I have attached a screenshot. You can see where it says it can't remove the Superuser apk, etc but it isn't on my device.

UPDATE
I did a factory restore and Amazon Video STILL doesn't work. any ideas?

Doing a factory reset doesn't remove root. Have you tried the directions in this thread?

Those directions worked for me when I unrooted mine.

Yup this worked out, thank you much! I thought the first time I did a factory reset that it re-enabled Amazon Video, hence I thought that worked.
Thanks again!

[Q] Can I stop this?

My Kindle is pissing me off.
I tried to unroot it by downloading the update onto my kindle fire.
I renamed it as update zip and flashed it.
IT worked until popups said force close calendar storage and force close android.process.acore.
Then it shuts itself off and reboots.
So I deleted everything in the kindle drive from my computer.

Are you able to connect to your device using adb or fastboot? if so your best course of action would be to enter fastboot if possible and then reflash twrp and fff. when you have done this go to twrp and do a factory reset/wipe data and then wipe cache and dalvik and then try update.zip again

this is a problem that i experienced..it has only one solution..u have to be very very quick..quicker than ur kindle fire is..skip kindle registration and allow to force restart..coz u dont grt enough time to do everything mentioned below..very quickly navigate to more(by tapping top right settings icon)as soon as u unlock the screen and quickly go to device and then select factory reset from device settings..u should complete whole of this process of navigation and selection before ur kindle fire shuts down..once u factory reset from your kindle fire stock ui(and not from recovery software that u install) the force close of different processes stop..
ultimately u have to factory reset IN AND FROM STOCK ROM before..it will take atlest 3 to 4 attempts to do this..8th or 9th attempt succeeded for me when i tried this for the first time..u ll lose ur sd data..make sure u make a backup..
hit thanks if this works

That means when u flash that update.zip, it would install stock bootloader and recovery softwares in places of fff and TWRP..this will be the case if anyone tries to flash latest stock rom without wiping data in TWRP..what i meant was u will not have twrp installed after flashing that update.zip so go to settings by tapping icon on right top corner and goto more>>device>>reset to factory default..
u should also note that u should be so quick that u have to give it some time after u start factory reset..so that kindle fire finishes deregistering itself and doing other stuff before those 2 or 3 processes force restart kindle fire..

I used bin4ry ver. 30 to root 8.4.1. today I discovered I was OTA upgraded to 8.4.3. However, I still have root and Google Play Store. Tested by downloading Android Firewall and gave it root access permission. I thought the OTA upgrade would break root???

I rooted earlier today without any trouble. I thought I was on 8.4.1 but when I just looked I was at 8.4.3. Not sure if I rooted before or after the update. I disabled OTA with KF First Aide so I thought that it wouldn't update. Either way, I'm rooted and on 8.4.3 with all the google goodies installed and running.

Uninstall knox ?

So I managed to root my phone and disable knox through supersu. After that I froze it using titanium backup but I was wondering if it is safe to fully uninstall it ?

Hi
Can you tell us how you gained root access? My device was rooted in 4.1.2 version and after installing 4.3, I started getting error "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." If I use SuperU (which was installed during 4.1.2), it asks me to manually re-root.
I tried going through steps mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991 but didnt work.
Can you give link to the software and mention the steps to remove Knox or regain root access?
Help would be appreciated.

I used method one from that thread. The CF auto root method. Just remember to update supersu afterwards. It'll ask you if you want to disable knox when you open it up after updating.

Perfect!! it worked for me in less than 13sec!!
At first, device took some time to recognise the network, so I was a bit afraid but after 2-3 mins, i could make calls.
I had to install SuperSU separately, and Just as Florad77 mentioned, it disabled KNOX.
Thanks a lot to both of you...

How to push CWM onto a rooted/setup FireTv?

Can someone give me a hand here? I dont want to loose the setup FireTV that I have now. Its rooted so and and so on. But does NOT have CWM. How can I flash this to the FireTV and NOT loose anything that I have on it?

Interesting... I just looked it up. I'll have to see how many successful flashes have been done. Assuming no issues, since its still rolling along.
adbFire offers one-click installs for CWM recovery.

Right but on the original install of CWM you need to be on FW 51.1.0.2 or older or you would need to downgrade. And I think downgrading would mean loose of root. Which can be put back on there. But not sure how the downgrade/loose of root/re-ROOT would affect his current XBMC/Launcher/Exposed etc setup that came with his FTV ?? Maybe someone can let us know?

Is it safe to factory reset after flashing rooted image?

I have recently rooted my phone and would like to do a reset. No other system modifications have been done that require root (busybox and etc.). Is it safe to do factory reset?
yes

yes, it's safe. is it a H815 intl/EU model, if so don't forget to disable OTA updates again in the settings
