thanks for the rom, i ve already flashed it onto my soho.

is there a list with all the features of the rom? what did you remove and could you remove the amazon-ads too?
rom seems bugless so far and i ve installed xposed from solarwarez without a problem.

Many thanks for putting this ROM together - it breathes new life into my soho Kindle.

I've just finished installing/booting, ROM is working great. Any tweaking for power/speed would be awesome.

Cheers !

will this work with the above kindle. I've already rooted and rom'd my hdx 8.9, so am familiar with the language..its running 4.5.5.2 as well.

I also purchased a fastboot cable.

thanks

 

[alioops]

How do I root my soho..ive looked through so much today that my mind is spinning... I have a fastboot cable.. ive looked at various threads, but still not sure where to start. I would really appreciate some help, ive read through a document that goes through stages, but i seem to falter at the first hurdle. Anyway, I am not going to give up, just some bullet points as to what to do in what order would be great ...... thank you in anticipation...

Thanks!

 

[ssurell]

So I wiped the system partition prior to flashing, and now missing basic system elements for boot. Apparently this is a mod and not a ROM. So what's custom? I don't see anything different. What's "unlocked" exactly that wasn't already?

 

[pxrave]

one last update: for amazon fire os will be uploaded this week

this project is discontinued

How to root a Kindle Fire 7 (2013) soho

Hello everybody! I am new to xda so I hope I'm in the right place. I have tried to start a new thread about this but I coudl not so I am posting this here hoping to find an answer. Rooting a KF (2013) has proved to be quite challenging for me, also because I am dumb . Anyway I have tried to install the 'Permanent Root with Superuser' via Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.8 but I am not able to. I know that I am missing something but I am too dumb to understand what. I need the help of experts. So, I have run Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.8 and I got this:

  4  Install Latest FireFireFire

Please make a selection or hit ENTER to exit:

I have connected my KF Soho to the laptop through the factory cable and I have selected 1, and I got this:

  3  Recovery (5001)

Please make a selection or hit ENTER to return:

Then I have selected 1 and I got this:

 ***********************************************
 *           Activating Normal (4000)          *
 ***********************************************

The system cannot find the drive specified.

Unable to open /data/local/nbmode: No such file or directory
/system/bin/sh: /data/local/nbmode: not found

 The kindle has been told to reboot in Normal Mode.

Press any key to continue . . .

If I select fastboot instead, I get this:

 ***********************************************
 *         Activating Fastboot (4002)          *
 ***********************************************

failed to copy 'files\fbmode' to '/data/local/fbmode': Permission denied

 The kindle has been told to reboot in Fastboot Mode.

Press any key to continue . . .

In both cases my tablet reboots but checking with 'Root Analyzer' I can see that it is not rooted.
I have also tried rooting with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v30 choosing the 1st option but I get this:

======================================================================
= This script will root your Android phone with adb restore function =

Device type:

At this point, my kindle fire displays a screen where I have to choose between 'Do not restore' and 'Restore my data' and I chose 'Restore my data' but my tablet does not reboot at all and the runme.bat file keeps running forever. I have also tried not to press anything at all on the 'Do not restore/Restore my data' screen and I get this:

Successful, going to reboot your device in 10 seconds!
Waiting for device to show up again....

After reboot all is done! Have fun!

Press any key to continue . . .

My tablet actually reboots but checking with Root Analyzer I still see the message 'No, your device is not rooted'. What should I do? :'( Ask me all the questions you need and I'll do my best to answer them. Also, please keep in mind that I am not technical therefore explain me things as you would explain them to a quite smart baby Thanks for your help!

Also, I'll write here more details about my device if it is of any help for you guys:
Device model: Kindle Fire HD (3rd generation)
Year: 2013
Bootloader: Uknown
Board: soho
Device: soho
Model: KFSOWI
OS: Fire OS 4.5.5.3
