Amazon did an update to my Kindle8.9 this morning and I lost Root. I thought I had used the "Disable OTA Updates" feature in KF First Aide to prevent that. The software version after the update was 8.1.4 I ran KF First Aide again and got Root back and everything is OK. The software version is now 8.1.3
Now the problem:
When I try ti run the "Disable OTA Updates" in KF First Aide I get some errors, but it says it completed successfully. (see attached). I guess I won't know until the next update from Amazon.
All Righty - might have solved at least part of this...Host machine: Windows 7 64 bit Path updated, reliable ADB
Kindle Fire HD 8.9 8.1.3_user_1312220 (from KFFirstAide operation 3)
Latest KFFirstAide (downloaded within last hour) running inside elevated/administrator command prompt
<snip>
---
Edit... I got hit with an Amazon OTA update a bit over an hour ago. This...event...gave me the opportunity to re-run the recovery tool.
Unfortunately behavior on the 8.9 is consistent.
What works: Options 3, 4, 6, and 10
What doesn't work: 8, 9, 11
adb push backup.sh /data/local/backup.sh
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/backup.sh
adb shell su -c "/data/local/backup.sh"
All Righty - might have solved at least part of this...
Every time I 'root with restore' using this tools's option 1, I'm taken back to V8.1.3. This results in an almost immediate update from Amazon - even though I don't connect to the internet or register the device until AFTER I've manually run the OTA Update defeat script.
This time around, I used Onemeila's rooted 8.1.4 image and have root. Next, I used Kinfaun's manual backup process. During the process, I was unable to use:
(permission denied) so used Root Explorer to move and chmod the backup.sh manually.Code:adb push backup.sh /data/local/backup.sh adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/backup.sh
Back to the PC, I executed the:
because the device alreasy has the SU binary installed.Code:adb shell su -c "/data/local/backup.sh"
The first message I received was that SU had blocked the ADB shell command. Once ADB had permission to operate, the backup was successful.
I came back to KFFirstAide and tried option 8 to backup - and it was almost successful this time around. There's still a problem with remote manipulation (mkdir, chmod, etc.) but the backup did run once ADB was granted permission with SU and once the backup.sh was installed manually.
It didn't seem to make any difference with option 9 to defeat OTA, however - the only successful step was installation of Titanium Backup.
They are working on this problem and should have it fixed soon.

Thanks for asking. I'm stuck at the same point as etom. ADB seems to work, but i get an error when I try to backup. No idea why...
Hi Chris / All,
I Received that cable, thanks for the fast delivery.
Just wanted to ask for any pointer regarding a Linux mint13 & virtualbox 4.1.12 install.
I have install a win7 32bit guest with USB setup, I can see the KFHD in file manger, copy media etc.
I have setup the KF First Aide as per the excellent instructions, No SDK installed.
When i run KF First Aide I run option 6 the first time I get:
* server not running *
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
D025A0A024110HS8 Device
If You See A Number Before Device,
Then It Looks Like ADB is Enabled!
When i try and run a backup, option 11:
We Are Now Waking Up ADB
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
D025A0A024110HS8 offline
We Are Now Executing The Backup, Please Wait......
The system cannot find the path specified.
error: device offline
error: device offline
error: device offline
error: device offline
The Backup Process Has Completed. Please Make A
Copy Of The Backup From The Backup Folder to A CD
The ADB options displays device offline, including the test.
So it appears to make a connection initially, then goes offline.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Ian
tamoquera,
We are aware of this problem and we should have this fixed by tomorrow. We have been working through the night to fix the known problems as well as add 8 more features.
Sorry if I didn't make this plain, Chris - my intent was to try to help solve the problem in your tool - otherwise I'd just keep doing everything manually.Slimepuppy,
Thank you for posting the links although the reason for our tool is to eliminate the use of CLI. We are aware of the problem and are updating the code to:
1. Downgrade the software
2. Immediately patch OTA after the downgrade
3. Immediately backup after the downgrade and patch
As user Krsmqn stated "There are working on the issue and will have it resolved soon".
Rather than launch one feature at a time, we decided to launch a bunch of upgrades together, the updated package will have all the above feature and 8 new features. The launch date is 02/03/2013 after 12pm PST GMT -8.
Remember, you are posting comments in the Kindle Fire First Aide thread which is meant for Kindle Fire First Aide feedback, trouble reporting, errors and solutions around our software.
They are working on this problem and should have it fixed soon.

I get errors that the file exists in an otherwise empty directory, twice. I've attached screen shots. I've tried using both winrar and 7-zip and gotten the error both times.
