Unroot Kindle Fire 7'' 2 [before 31th january]

[ebisco]

I have to resend to Amazon my kf2 before 31th january and I don't know what should i do to unroot my dev.. A simple reset to factory data by "options" is useless 'couse the device wont be unroot but only app installed via root will be deleted..

Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks.

Have you put TWRP on it as well, or is it just rooted?

Do you have a factory cable?

I'm sure someone has posted instructions on how to remove root, for sending back to Amazon, but I can't see it. I will keep looking and post update if I find the link.

I think i've found the script(?) which i used to root my kindle fire.. it include an unroot option but if i execute it.. i recieve an error, so i opened the runme.bat in txt:

:UNROOT
set /p unr=Really (y/n) ?
IF %unr% == n GOTO CHOICE
stuff\adb.exe push stuff\busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
stuff\adb.exe shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c '/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system'"
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/bin/su'" <------------------------------------------------------------
stuff\adb.exe shell "su -c 'rm /system/app/Superuser.apk'" <------------------------------------------------------------

After I ve done a factory data reset, i 've installed ROM TOOLBOX on the kindle fire and delete i've manually deleted the 2 files and other file which i've converted to system app.. now.. what should i do to check if the device is still rooted?

Sorry again for my bad english..

PS: I don't think i've unrooted the device becouse i can still use ROM TOOLBOX

Hi, I can't seem to find the post. I know it talked you through removing certain files from folders, similar to the above.

You can find Root Analyzer in the Amazon market to check for root, but it won't tell you if there are any folders lying around that will alert someone to the fact you have been rooted in the past. I.e. If you have installed Rom Toolbox, it will leave a folder on the SD Card, but I suppose you could say you side loaded it.

re root, install twrp, download amazon's ota update.bin and rename it .zip, flash it in twrp, viola, brand spanking new kf2.

You might know. Can you download the update manually from Amazon and put it in the kindleupdates folder, then run the update to do the same thing?

Google Amazon 10.2.4 manual update for Amazon's instructions.

not if you're on 10.2.4... I'd suggest installing twrp and flashing it that way. it will overwrite the secondary bootloader, stack space, and also the recovery.. you'll be fine then.

Although, if anyone was able to pull full stock partitions, I could instruct you on how to restore them without a fbcable...

Thank you so much.. but are you sure that if I install twrp, after flashing stock rom, the recovery will be deleted?
Can you help me to finde a guide? Thank!

sending it to amazon?

Just out of curiosity, why do you have to send it back to Amazon?

 

[fmkilo]

your best hope would be to download the files for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035047
while connected to usb, use the command adb shell su -c 'reboot bootloader'
This will reboot you into fastboot mode.
Simply use the tool in the previous link to restore all of the partitions needed, then download amazon's update file from here
Place this file in the kindle updates folder on your sdcard.
go into the settings menu, device I think it is... wherever you see your firmware version. and press update

I made an order of 1000 euro before Christmas and amazon send me a kf2 as a gift.. but if I send it to amazon to ask for a refund before 31 January, I will earn 160 euro .. I do not use the tablet almost never so...

So wait.. why not just use the voodoo root keeper to unroot, then just delete the root backup and remove the app?
