Hello everyone i hope someone can help me as I am an absolute novice at this
I rooted my Kindle Fire HD 4 4th Gen using Kingroot app and it was successful. I had some problems and decided to do a hard rest and it has hit some problems. It went through the process of reseting but it keeps prompting me to choose a language even though i have already chosen one it will just keep going back to that screen. Now i cannot proceed to use my tablet at all. Can someone help me out with my predicament? I would really appreciate it,
If you are able to give instructions please bear in mind I am a novice at this
many thanks

Bad move. Factory resetting a rooted HDX (especially on FireOS 4.5.5.1) often leads to the problem you are experiencing. Related thread here. Not a proven solution but steps to consider. If the device is still under warranty consider contacting Amazon for a courtesy exchange.

I purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad tablet. I've rooted two phones easily, no problems. This thing is being testy! I literally spent all night trying to use "SuperOneClick", which freezes every time. Apparently this is a large problem, with people posting on the shortfuse website about it, but no word at all from that developer (too bad...sounded promising). Then, I utilized the thread search, but I only received, oh I don't know, ~70 pages for the same thread, which provided no help whatsoever. But all I want to do is root it so that I can put an app on it to recieve a bluetooth internet tether. No custom Rom's or nothing. I'm here because not only is this place the standard for Android apparently, but the shortfuse page also links back here as well. If this is in the wrong spot to ask, please move accordingly, but there is no spot in the tablets for the IdeaPad. Thanks in advance for your help!
Wow. I thought something special about this place! But the "noob" fixed it himself. Thanks for the load of a lack of help.

If you noticed in my post, I said I did try "super"oneclick (and yes with all appropriate drivers) for a whole night. As I mentioned, I figured it out myself. But at least you did try, can't say that about anyone else...for that you receive my thanks.
Lenovo thinkpad a-1
I have the same problem tried oneclick and always stops at # 7 waiting on device.
how did you finally manage to get root? any help would be appreciated.. I have also rooted several HTC android phones but this thinkpad is kicking my butt.
Help! I did use the search tool and readl all the "READ THIS FIRST" stuff trying to self diagnose and treat my problem. I appologize in advance if this has been asked and answered elsewhere in the forum, I was not able to find it if it was.
About a year and a half ago I purchase a lightly used G Tablet that was updated/rooted with Vegan. I loved it and it worked well for my needs. My company then issued us "company" tablets and I just let my Vegan G Tab just sat since last fall until recently. Now all it does is give me a "Force Close" prompt and nothing works. I basically want to bring this thing back to original View Sonic factory specs and go from there. I already tried the factory reset through Clockwork but I am still getting the Vegan screen. I just want to bring it back to stock and give it to my young neice.
I am not a "geek" and not all too gadget savy so please try to speak in terms I will understand. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I'm new to this so not sure if i'm going about it the right way but here goes.....
I have a rooted kindle fire HD 7" using Apex Launcher and would like to bypass the bootloader so i can take more control of my device.
I have read through the steps on how to do this quite a few times but before i take the leap and do it, i was wondering if there is a simple (noob) version for it??
Or even better, without trying to come across as being lazy, an automated service that did it all for me??
Thanks in advance for any help/tips/advice.

Is the REAL issue rooting the device, or unlocking the bootloader?
From what I understand (and am experiencing with my personally owned Acer A3-A20), rooting the device cannot be achieved unless the device's bootloader is successfully unlocked. I have searched numerous forums and posted within their topic threads in hopes to find a successful method for rooting my newly purchased tablet. However, I keep stumbling on the same point: when a device is booted with the manufacturers boot loader sequence, that bootloader must be unlocked using the manufacturer's given method for doing so. I sincerely hope that somebody reading this with the know-how and ability to crack this problem like a boss, or a member of the xda-developer family can dedicate some time and ability into solving an issue that has more than likely sprouted a few gray hairs on my dome-piece. Now, I'm not a developer (yet), nor have I ever unlocked or have ever known how to unlock to bootloader--I am just stating the issue that I keep coming across on the web, assuming that this idea of approach is not only factual, but helpful to my fellow A3-A20 owners. The concept does make sense to me though.
>>> It is extremely likely, that If I don't come across a solution before the next payday, I think that I'm going to return my new purchase toy, for either a Nexus tablet or an ASUS Transformer Book. (It sure will be nice when I finish my B.S. degree and graduate from my Programming & Mobile Application Development program!).

Can someone please grant a fellow Acer patron the courtousy of notifying me of a solution to this issue, at [email protected]? I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks and good looking out!
Have you guys tried Kingo root? I was able to root my A3-A20 with it.

It seems to work on my Acer A3-A20FHD
Is the knowledge of the Kindle Fire HD 6 to a point where it is a turnkey process? I've browsed through all of the threads and it seems like if you pieced them all together properly, you'd be able to go from "out of the box" to a working Kindle with Google Play. That's my goal. I know there's always a risk, and I'm good with that. But I'm wanting to get this going in the next 45 days for a gift for someone.
Kindle Fire HD 6
4.5.4 (It updated by itself--I've disabled OTA since then with Debloater)
ADB and Fastboot installed
Computer communicating with the Kindle a-okay
I apologize if this is considered a duplicate post. I've looked all over this forum and done a lot of research on it. It just seems that if everything was pulled together just right, all of the steps are there.
Thanks!

Sure, you have all the steps in here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-v2-0-fireos-4-5-4-gapps-t3150613
With 4.5.4, it won't be as easy, since you'll have to go 5.2.0 first, and then back to 4.5.3
In the process, you may have to learn more Android than you ever wanted

LOL . . . well, yes, you can go from out-of-the-box to OS 4.5.4 rooted with fully working Gapps. I would hardly call it turnkey, though. :laugh:
The Fire HDs were rooted only 2 months ago. A lot has been accomplished. Because different people work on different aspects of development and learning about the device, and often leave after accomplishing what they set out to do, information is necessarily scattered. As a tech writer I'd like nothing more than to see a definitive guide to rooting this device. Pulling together such a guide would involve stepping on toes, however, rewriting other people's work. And the guide would be outdated almost immediately because every week we learn something new. If you're a knowledgeable modder, perhaps you could participate and contribute for awhile.
I think this is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-v2-0-fireos-4-5-4-gapps-t3150613
Note and tip: Rooting a Fire HD and installing everything you need is not straight-forward. If you lose the device at sideload during the upgrade/downgrade process, look at post #50.
Thank you @bibikalka and @DoLooper. I'll inspect this thread more closely. When I'm comfortable with it, I'll take the dive.
On another note, I have another Kindle Fire HD 6 still unopened. Does anyone need a clean "image" of it or anything else you can only get from a brand new device? I'm sure it's going to be on 4.5.3. Please provide me with instructions if there is anything you do need. Thanks!
