Hi,
I had version 6.2.1 and i root it and everything was great could use the Market (Play) and so on , after upgrading i could still use the market and install things although i read that upgrading to 6.3 kills the root , nevertheless i did KUF and it worked ok and i get the TWRF and i can also get into it , however i would like to know how can i know if my Kindle has been root, entering the Market i see the same application and everything is working OK .
so first question:
1. after KUF how can i know that my kindle has been rooted correctly
2. after finishing the KUF my computer doesn't recognize the Kindle not matter what i do , even try to re-install he drives - strange btw i see in the device manager android phone - android ADB interface , i'm trying a fresh OS.
3. how come i cant see all application in the market only some of them, is it cause the market can see that it's a Tablet
Thanks

One more small issue
I can transfer many application that arent visible in the market like for instance Kayak however i when i try to install them i got an error that application didn't install, i don't know why , anybody ? is it any log that i can check ?
Tanks for the Help

To tell if you are rooted, download and install "Terminal Emulator" from the market. From the terminal type "su" without quotes. If your prompt changes from $ to #, or you get a "Superuser" request, you are rooted.
As far as the Market is concerned, only apps that are known to be compatible with your device will show (unless you edit your build.prop). Some will still work but you'll have to download them from other sources i.e. Google search NameofApp.apk...just stay away from paid apps with this method.

Hello,
I need help for my new Witstech A81G. After I had to do factory reset and then flashing it, the following features do not work:
- when I go to market and try to download anything, the download stalls on "starting download"
- I also don't manage to sign into Google Talk.
(the two might be connected...?)
My specs:
- This is a Witstech A81G with full USB bought from Merimobiles in January
http://www.merimobiles.com/Witstech_A81G_New_Version_with_Full_USB_p/meri0544.htm
- It says model number MID, Android version 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32 Android MID #290, Build number MID-eng 2.2 JIEVIS eng.MID.20101124.105136 test-keys
- I have a 16GB mini SD card
- I am using it over wifi
- otherwise I am on W7 64 bits.
- Myself am quite computer proficient, but this is first time I use android.
The history how things happened (it is about 3 weeks I am fighting with it):
1> Started all fine
I got the device and it was working fine. I have set up wifi, my Google account, and checked apps.
I performed the "Witstech A81E Market full access fixed" proposed by Merimobiles, clearing cache and data, and got the Market working fully.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA
Then I installed few more apps, including App 2SD free, that let me move apps to my sd card.
Everything was fine, except I also installed apps for kids and let my son use it.
2> Factory reset
My son badly messed up and I could not understand much how to fiw what he did. So I thought I rather do a factory reset from the tablet, and I did (settings/privacy). This is when the trouble started.
After that, I did the market fix again, and could see all apps... but never could download any.
3> Flashing the A81
I went one step further and flashed the device, following instructions from Gadgets and tablets (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33)and using Android 2.2-1208 Firmware they propose (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16).
I backed up the apps I had into my PC. I used another 8GB sd card and formatted it FAT 32 using HP formatting tool (that is only difference with the described process, they say 1GB and FAT), copied the mlo file to my SD card and then other files, and flashed it into the A81G: the flash worked. I had to do recalibration, reset wifi and google accounts.
And again, no download in Market.
4> Several variation attempts
I tried different things:
- flashed again and tried another Google account
- installed WitsSetup.apk proposed by the same forum, that is supposed to optimize the device to the firmware or opposite
http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33
- installed z4root
In any case, and even without trying the "market access fix", I can not downlaod anything from Market.
Also, in the course of these attempts I realized my Talk does not work (I did not try before).
5> More aborted attempts
Browsing around, I realize this might be because of a wrong ID suggesting this device could not work with Market. (although it should, even in limited mode, as it didout of the factory!)
I also have on my PC a backup of froyo.zip which I think is the one originally installed. I tried to copy / paste it into android system, of course did not work.
So I would like to try the more complicate fix (changing ID) as proposed here for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687371
But I run into 2 difficulties:
a> using the emulator: I don't have any keyboard access so can't type in
b> I installed Android SDK manager on my PC in order to run ADB. I installed Android SDK tools revision 9, android SDK platform tools revision 2, Google USB driver package revision 4. W>hen I connect it, I now see in my device manager under "other devices" a "A81E" with no drivers - and it does not find drivers neither in the above package nor on the web.
So I am blocked again.
6> What more?
Well... i pray for help, because without any apps this device is just useless.
I would like to manage::
- either fix market & google talk access
- or somehow retsore factory set uyp the way it was - with market access (even limited).
Note that I am with limited capacities, since:
- I dont have many programmes on and can't download anything from Market (though I have the backup of few Witstech original appps)
- I can't type into the emulator nor got ADB to work.
I hope you can support me or this device will be thrown through the window without even beeing used 1 full week.
Thanks
Agnes

Hi, you seem to have tried everthing except using the firmware from the official Witstech web site?
This might be worth a try.
Go to http://www.witstech.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1#post1 & download the correct format tool hpusbfw.rar. Format your sd card to FAT
Then go to http://witstech.net/download.html & down load the correct firmware for your tablet. Follow the correct proceedure to flash the device. Best of luck.
Maybe the MarketEnabler would help? Google said before use the market, user should login the Gtalk once.
better follow #2 suggestions, reflash the official firmware
My goal for doing all this, rooting and controlling the device, is two-fold:
First, to get additional functionality out of the Kindle Fire; I want the Android Market apps available, and a better interface, but at the same time, I want the pleasure of Amazon Prime; I want to be able to de-root and enjoy the streaming video.
Second, to understand a new thing, even superficially through its actions rather than through studying it in depth; it is fun to find out about a device.
So far, although I have rooted the Kindle Fire by following the steps in kinfauns' excellent tutorial, I have failed in both of my goals, and the reason is interdependent on both of their failings. By not understanding fully, I have failed to get additional functionality... and by not getting additional functionality, I have failed to understand what I have done!
When I tried to install the Google extras through KFU, permissions were denied. So I sideloaded Google Play, it started, and I created an account, and everything worked until I tried to download and install an app and it shut down. and now, it doesn't restart, "The application Google Play Store... has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
But how to get OTA Rootkeeper? I downloaded it on my phone, and then sideloaded it to the Kindle. It installed, and started, but instead of the list of options under status, like shown in the instructional videos, all that is shown is a button to "Protect root".
Ah. My lack of knowledge prevents my understanding. I'm certain that sideloading is leaving something behind on my phone, but of course "certain" isn't the same as "right", seeing as how "certain" is a feeling. Would an extra mind help? Is there an extra mind willing to help?
Thank you!
Solved. Thanks, ndpete!
Would it help to uninstall and reinstall? Just shooting at the sky here, but what the heck.
Can you please help me with the OTA root keeper ! I have a kindle fire that I rooted and I installed the OTA root keeper to be able to watch prime amazon video . Allthough the apk seems to be installed correctly , when I open it , it doesn't let me to check teh root permision granted and the protected su copy available. Also doesn't have the unprotect root button ; on the status is stated the superuser app installed
Pleased help me , nd please use lay term people as I'm not technically savvy
Thank you in advance
Please help me.
I'm trying desperately to root my nans brand new kindle fire hd - software version 7.4.9 so that she can access the google play store for the apps she uses as some aren't available on the amazon store.
I have followed your tutorials to the nth degree, downloaded lots of software on to my computer including kff, and binary versions, but each time I try to root her kindle I get the following errors:
fastboot.exe is not responding
adb.exe is not responding.
I then get the error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00005) Click ok to close the application.
I've tried removing all software and rebooting again. I'm trying to use your software package as shown in your tutorial.
The device is showing in device manager as Android Composite ABD Interface
I'm at my wits end I'm just trying to do something to keep her from being bored and lonely and I feel terrible because I said she should get a fire hd as it would be better for her than her previous table that kept freezing. I don't know why its so difficult as I rooted my other two fire hd's last year no problem!
Please please help me, I'd really appreciate it

Did you enable ADB in Security>ADB? Do you have the right drivers? (There's some in the KFFA folder which I'll mention later) You could also try different USB ports, cables, and Kindle Fire First Aide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888). Also, I don't know if you're talking about Binary or Bin4ry, but try this Bin4ry Root with Restore. It should work too. (http://uploaded.net/file/a1ycrsqj) You're welcome if I helped.
For some reason it makes me think one of the needed dll's adb comes with is missing, or adb just hates your PC.
Hello everyone I need your help. After I first successfully run my first Apps both in Emulator and Real Device (Galaxy S3) it works well. Then I started to make my second new Apps and want to Run both in Emulator and Real Device again but when I open and run my second new apps both in emulator and real device, the content shows same as the previous first apps.
Then what I did is go to my computer C Drive > Users > User > Android Studio Project > [my first Apps project) or (C:\Users\User\AndroidStudioProjects) and delete the folder of my first and second Apps to think that If i will make the new apps again (3rd Time) it will run and install it to my emulator and real device but it didn't happen???
Can someone kind hearted of you could tell and explain or give solution to my problem? Pls!

"when I open and run my second new apps both in emulator and real device, the content shows same as the previous first apps."
For me it always works (i use android studio, what do you use?), but you might want to delete the old app before running a new app.
"it will run and install it to my emulator and real device but it didn't happen?"
Did you get any errors? what exactly didn't happen?
Hey everyone,
I already try to get this running or even installed since a while now. But all the apps that all this great tutorials name me are not being found on the firetv anymore. I can't install them or even find them. I already turned on that I can install any harmfull application I want and so on, but I am running low on ideas how I get this first step done. It won't let me download any downloader app to install Kodi on it.
Anyone know a way?
AFTVnews is the spot for FTV everything. He wrote his own downloader app, got it in the amazon store, and has a guide on how to use it.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-side...on-the-amazon-fire-tv-stick-using-downloader/
Once it's running, install the Kodi Android Installer addon inside Kodi for easy updates.
The problem is, even though I activated all the necessary stuff, it won't let me download the Downloader or ES Explorer, or any other kind of sideloader. It always tells me that it can't find that application.
Install adbLink from jocala.com on your pc. Start it and set up your device with the right IP. Then find the option within adbLink to install android apps on your device.
