[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire HD 10 2017 (suez)

[k4v7uk]

You need a different root method.
I've just put Lineage 12.1 on my Fire HD10 with firmware 5.6.9.0. It was straight forward with no issues but I got the same error you did.

Instead of the root method used in this post, use SuperSu instead then come back here and carry on with the rest of the process.

This sounds promising. Is there any documentation on here to get SuperSu on the Fire? It would be great if i could get this method to work. I really dont want to open the thing. Thanx for your help.

You'll need a linux distrubution to work from, a live boot cd/usb will work fine.
Don't use WSL (Subsystem for Linux) on Windows 10 as usb support doesn't work properly, or at all, for anything other than usb storage devices.

This guide was part of a larger guide on Github, adapted from Retyre's XDA Guide.

Root on Fire HD10 2017 5.6.9.0 (not tried on other systems)

1. Download the root exploit code (alternate link SHA256 8bfc3d5c75964e5fa28c8ffa39a87249ba10ea4180f55f546b2dcc286a585ea8) and Super_SU18+ (alternate link SHA256 b572c1a982d1e0baeb571d3bc0df7f6be11b14553c181c9e0bf737cc4a4fbbfd).
   wget -c "http://myphone-download.wondershare.cc/mgroot/20165195.zip" "http://myphone-download.wondershare.cc/mgroot/SuperSU_18+.zip"
2. Unzip them both to a 20165195 directory.
   unzip -u 20165195.zip -d 20165195 && unzip -u SuperSU_18+.zip -d 20165195
3. Check the 20165195 directory contains all the needed files.
   $ ls -1 20165195
   Matrix
   Superuser.apk
   ddexe
   debuggerd
   fileWork
   install-recovery.sh
   krdem
   mount
   patch_boot.sh
   pidof
   push_root.sh
   start_wssud.sh
   su
   su_arm64
   supersu.zip
   supolicy
   toolbox
   wsroot.sh
4. Push the directory to the tablet.
   adb push 20165195 /data/local/tmp
5. Login to the tablet.
   adb shell
6. Make the files executable.
   chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/20165195/*
7. Run the exploit. You should see a lot of output while it runs.
   /data/local/tmp/20165195/Matrix /data/local/tmp/20165195 2
   If the script executes successfully, the final lines of output should display the memory location that was exploited (may be different than 0x7fab64c000) and a value of 0 for <Exploit> and <Done>. If it fails, check the Troubleshooting section:
8. exploited 0x7fab64c000=f97cff8c
   end!!!!!!!
   <WSRoot><Exploit>0</Exploit></WSRoot>
   <WSRoot><Done>0</Done></WSRoot>
   
   
9. You can verify root with su.
   [email protected]:/ $ su
   su
   [email protected]:/ #
10. Back on your computer, download SuperSU 2.82 SR5 apk (alternate link SHA256 2c7be9795a408d6fc74bc7286658dfe12252824867c3a2b726c1f3c78cee918b) and install it to the tablet with adb.
    adb install "eu.chainfire.supersu_2.82-SR5-282_minAPI9(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk"
11. Open up the SuperSU app on the tablet, tap Get Started, then tap Continue and select Normal to update the app. Select Reboot after it is done installing to reboot the tablet.
12. After the tablet reboots, open SuperSU app again, tap on Settings tab, then tap Default access, then choose Grant.
13. Log in to your tablet.
    adb shell
14. Switch to superuser and delete directories /data/data-lib/com.wondershare.DashRoot and /data/data-lib/wondershare.
    su
    rm -r /data/data-lib/com.wondershare.DashRoot /data/data-lib/wondershare

Once rooted, you can start the main guide on here for TWRP installation and skip past the root part.
Notes: At stage 7, running the exploit, you may find get an error instead of a successful output like above.
If you get this or similar, try rebooting your Fire HD and try again:

<WSRoot><Exploit>0x00000332</Exploit></WSRoot>
check done
sched_setaffinity: Function not implemented<WSRoot><Exploit>0x00000382</Exploit></WSRoot>
FAIL : load1 --> /sepolicy
<WSRoot><Exploit>0x00000341</Exploit></WSRoot>
<WSRoot><Exploit>0x00000881</Exploit></WSRoot>
<WSRoot><Done>0x00000172</Done></WSRoot>

I had to reboot once to get it to work. It's also worth noting that, even though it was successful the second time, i still received a function not implemented error, but it still worked. This is the part that you're looking for to be sucessful:

<WSRoot><Exploit>0</Exploit></WSRoot>
<WSRoot><Done>0</Done></WSRoot>

Hi together,

i am new at this forum and trying to bring a lineageos on my Fire HD 10.
But i got stuck at this point:
"NOTE: If you are on firmware 5.6.4.0 or newer, a downgrade is necessary, this requires bricking the device temporarily. (The screen won't come on at all)"
Furthermore i don't understand "After you have confirmed the bricking by typing "YES",

How can i temporarily brick the device to get to the next steps?
Where can i confirm a bricking procedure?

Thanks in advance
Chris

How can i temporarily brick the device to get to the next steps?
Where can i confirm a bricking procedure?

IIRC the script will guide you through the whole process. It will determine the FireOS version and, if needed, will suggest to perform the "bricking procedure" which it will ask you to confirm by typing "YES", as it is you who is in charge.

Perhaps you should read the full set of instructions a few times and then it may become a bit clearer.

But if step-1.sh is meant when you talking about IIRC, this script show me the following lines in a loop.

Read this whole guide before starting. This is for the 7th gen Fire HD10 (suez). Current version: amonet-suez-v1.1.2.zip NOTE: This process does not require you to open your device, but should something go horribly wrong, be prepared to do...

You might be out of luck then and your FireOS version might be too new. Amazon does close such holes eventually. But then again I am not an expert, there might still be a way, but unfortunately I am not up to date regarding this topic anymore as I have already given up on my old 2017 tablets. Sorry!

 

[yeonwoo1]

This might be a stupid question (I'm a newbie) but I have successfully rooted the device with magisk, now how can I go back to TWRP to flash lineageOS. I'm on version 5.6.9.0

Try 'adb reboot recovery'

 

[Deizelds]

Hey what's up, hoping someone might be able to assist. Decided to review my tablet and things were going good but at some point of my travels, I must have messed up the gpt table, because now everytime I boot my tablet, it tells me there's an internal error. I tried going back to rerun the step scripts and when I try to run #1, it tells me the user partition is not the last parittion, and jumps out of the script. I cannot figure out how to look at the gpt to possibly rectify the issue and when I'm in TWRP and I go into format, there are two storage at the end and when I try to wipe them, it says they cannot be formatted.

Confirmed working on HD10 version 5.6.8.0. FYI for anyone installing Lineage OS, first boot got stuck on the loading screen, going back to recovery mode and doing a factory reset fixed it.

Thanks smartypantsuk and k4v7uk and everyone else who worked on this.

Do you have any plans to upgrade TWRP in the future?

I think I mostly follow how to do this. Just regarding step 7. How do you run the exploit? Do you just copy this "/data/local/tmp/20165195/Matrix /data/local/tmp/20165195 2" into the terminal or do I go to that folder on the tablet and run it there?

And once this is done does it require the step of bricking/downgrading the firmware (5.6.9.0.)?

Sorry, I'm clueless with things like this.

You have to extract both zip into that folder. This is step 2 and 3. Then type in "/data/local/tmp/20165195/Matrix /data/local/tmp/20165195 2" without the quotes. Then the cmd prompt goes weeeee.

I had to do the downgrade part then step-1.sh.

 

[PatchWorkH]

Okay, just an update for future readers. I managed to follow smartypantsuk's guide to root my 7th gen fire hd 10 on firmware 5.6.9.0. and then followed the guide on page 1.

Required a bit of troubleshooting during the firmware downgrade (just reading the comments in this thread). But I got it working in the end.

I have Lineage OS on it now and everything seems to be working.

--
Edit: Well after spending a day with Lineage OS 16, I decided to go back to Fire OS. There were a couple issues that just made it not worth it for me right now. Perhaps in the future. But at least I was able to get rid of the Fire Launcher.

Thanks

Current version: amonet-suez-v1.1.2.zip
...

NOTE: If you are on firmware 5.6.4.0 or newer, a downgrade is necessary, this requires bricking the device temporarily. (The screen won't come on at all)
If you chose the brick option, you don't need to run step-2.sh below:

Make sure ModemManager is disabled or uninstalled:

sudo systemctl stop ModemManager
sudo systemctl disable ModemManager

After you have confirmed the bricking by typing "YES", you will need disconnect the device and run

sudo ./bootrom-step-minimal.sh

Then plug the device back in.

It will then boot into "hacked fastboot" mode.
Then run

sudo ./fastboot-step.sh

NOTE: When you are back at initial setup, you can skip registration by selecting a WiFi-Network, then pressing "Cancel" and then "Not Now"
NOTE: Make sure you re-enable ADB after Factory Reset.

Is the "brick option" built into the step-1.sh script -- or is it to be done via the commands in the hidden section showed above, or by using the shell script brick.sh in brick-suez.zip?
