This might be a dumb question, but I just got my fire. Can prime members still stream for free as this is stock or is temp unroot necessary?
[ROM] Stock rooted 6.3

- Start date
I just tried to flash it and TWRP gave me "E: Unable to open ZIP file" Now it's just sitting there. What do I do? Any way to quit TWRP?

trying to get the amazon video working. What was the entry removed from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot? I'm wondering if I put that back as well as the check_rooted file, would that make the amazon video work? I wanted to give it a try, but wasn't sure what the exact entry in the init.omap file was...
Thanks.
Thanks.
I used OTA Rootkeeper from the Market then had to reboot the kindle after temporarily removing root and Amazon Video worked fine.. When I was finished I just restored root and rebooted and my kindle was rooted again.

Just wanted to thank you for building this, saved me a lot of hassle since my PC seems to have trouble loosing adb connection to the kindle, plus I am not the sharpest tack in the drawer but am slowly learning the commands.
One question and I am sure I know the answer just need a confirmation. I originally installed the secure version, can I just update with the insecure one after wiping dalvek and regular cache?
Thanks Again

The reboot took care of it... thanks (and thanked
If you don't want to do a full reboot, simply go into a task manager (GoLauncher Ex has one built-in) and kill the Amazon Video process after you've unrooted. Then go back into the app. Rebooting can be a bit of overkill because the whole effect is to kill the Amazon Video process. Neall
If you can't get back into the TWRP menu you can hold down the power button to reboot. I'd try transferring it over to the Fire again to make sure it copied properly. Might also want to check the MD5 sum to make sure the download didn't get corrupted in transit.
Yeah, that should work fine. You could also extract the boot.img from the unsecured version's zip file and then flash it with fastboot if you're comfortable with fastboot commands.
Everything seems to work just fine after this update. THANKS!
Titanium backup complains that SU has the wrong permissions, but it's able to fix that to its satisfaction if you let it.
One question... the "Play Store" now wants to update my Superuser.apk app, but the download/install fails. Is there a way to update this? Neall

Does the Play Store give a specific error or anything? Worst case, you could update it manually. You can get a recovery flashable zip from Superuser's website: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Pretty cryptic... "Error: Update for "superser" could not be downloaded due to an error.. (941).
I ran a bunch of other market updates and they went just fine.
I tried the Superuser zip from the developers site even before you mentioned it. Errors there, too. Will detail soon. Neall

This probably isn't your issue or concern, but it came up so I'll mention it here.
I'm using DoomLord's CWM touch-based Recovery, Version 5.0.2.7. I've never had an issues with it before. I've installed Nandroids with it, kernels with it, and your update with it.
I tried to install Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. It starts ok, but then I get the error:
Error in /sdcard/kindle/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (status 0)
This happens after Find, update, verify, and installing... so it's not doing the final push. Could this be related to the market update error when trying the same thing?
The MD5sum check out. Happens whether or not I have asserts or signature verification enabled or not.

Hi not sure if i can use this but i can get my computer to see the kindle or if it dose it has yellow mark. tried to reinstall drivers, went to comand did the kill thing...tried runing adb devices i cant get anything working i do have TWRP on kindle but i dont think my 6.2 backed up so i think i lost all kindle O\S on it.
Well, I tried to update Superuser again today, and it worked just fine. Who knows what went wrong before.
A week of hard use and no problems whatsoever with this update. This update is an EXCELLENT way to bring your rooted Kindle Fire up to version 6.3 without losing your root, bootloader or recovery. EXCELLENT JOB!!
Quick Question I did a Factory reset today and it deleted the Rom will only boot to Recovery? any Idea Why?
I can't get the amazon app store to work. It isn't registering my account so I can't get any of the apps. Any help?

Can I install this over 6.3.1?
I've been only using incremental rooted updates since about 6.2 or so. I'm now getting glitches in my kindle reader program and I kind of want to install a pre-rooted full stock ROM to see if that resolves it (since the kindle reader app can't just be downloaded, it's part of the system). But I'm already on 6.3.1. Does anyone know if there's a pre-rooted 6.3.1 just like this one that I can use?
OR alternately, if can I install this over my 6.3.1, putting me back to 6.3, then use the incremental update to get back to 6.3.1?

21In keeping with my tradition of providing stock rooted ROMs, I've re-packaged the new 6.3 update. As with my past ones, this is completely stock except for modifications that provide root access. It does not attempt to block OTAs in any way, and it does not contain any extras like the Market.
This is a full ROM, not an incremental update, so it will wipe your /system partition when installing. If you're coming from a non-stock ROM you'll want to wipe data/cache, but if you're coming from a previous stock ROM you should be okay. This is tested in CWM (it's what I have onhand right now) but TWRP should also work.
Changes between this and a completely stock 6.3 ROM are:
REMOVED FROM ROM
- The new /system/bin/check_rooted binary
- Stock recovery image
- Stock bootloader image
- That goofy userdata-backup.zip
ADDED TO THE ROM
- Superuser
- su
- busybox
CHANGES
- Removed the entry from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot.
- Set ro.secure=0 so adbd runs as root (insecure boot version only)
- updater-script doesn't attempt to install recovery, bootloader, or userdata-backup.zip file since they are not in the ROM.
- updater-script won't check your /system partition's size before installing. This means it will install on a /system partition that's been resized, but I have not tested this. My assumption is that if you resized /system you'll know how to handle any errors that you may encounter.
I'm providing secure and insecure boot images, as with my past versions. For those unfamiliar, insecure means adbd runs as root on your Fire so you get a root shell when you use adb to connect (i.e. you get # by default). Secure gives you a user shell (the $) by default, but you can still use 'su' to elevate to root.

Just Flashed through TWRP like any other rom (over modacos) and everything went fine !1
It works for me, but only on certain web pages (I'm guessing ones that are text-heavy). Try viewing some random Wikipedia article, for example. The icon also doesn't appear until about a second or so after the page has completely finished loading.1
