[Q] "Permission Denied" from ES FE on rooted KF2

[Portalboat]

First off, let me say that I'm completely new at this, and quite honestly have no idea what I'm doing.

I just rooted my Fire with this guide, Bin4ry's root worked successfully and superuser was installed and everything. However, when I tried to launch Qemu's Root, the program didn't really do anything, it just stopped at 'daemon started'. But since superuser was installed, I figured everything was okay and went on to follow this guide to installed google play. The Google Services installed fine, but whenever I try to move the Vending.apk into the correct folder, ES FE just returns 'Permission denied.'

Does this mean that the root wasn't successful? How can I fix this and get google play on my kindle?

Edit: whoops wrong device forum. Principle should be the same though.

Have you checked root via suchecker to confirm root?

Most likely you haven't given su permission to ES yet. Under tools in ES go to Root Explorer and then select the mount option. Give it Read/Write permissions and then you should be able to move it.

That worked great, thanks Protomartyr. It's working fine now.

EDIT: However, I'm getting a lot of 'Your device isn't compatible' for apps like Chrome, Duolingo, etc. and it's not letting me install them. They probably are compatible, but I can't seem to get around Play's not allowing me to install them. Is there any way to make Play allow me to install them?

Glad I could help

Play store incompatibility can be bypassed by:

changing the DPI (depending on what ROM you are running)

OR

Using an app such as Market Helper to temporarily "spoof" your device as something else (i.e. tricking the Play store to think your kindle is a nexus 7 so you can install apps that can run on it)

I am not familiar with the kindle fire 2 (I have a HD 7" ), so hopefully someone with a KF 2 can give you more specific instructions!
