hello,
is it possible to install android 4.1 on a kindle fire 2.
i tried the kfu utility, it says ADBnline, but boot status keeps unknown.
so i am not able to root it.
greetings,
evert-jan
There hasn't been a kindle fire utility made especially for the new kindle fire so that explains why you might be running into errors. Try using it again. Do you have the newest version.

Yes i tried the latest version. No luck
Take care!
I may take your Kindle Fire 2 into brick!
Kindle Fire 2nd gen is so different from 1st gen!

As the post said before DO NOT USE KINDLE FIRE UTILITY FOR KF2. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!! You're lucky you didn't have the right drivers as they are different from the ones in the KFU, or you would have definitely bricked your device.
You can root the KF2, Its been possible since a week after it came out-

Do we have a wiki for the fire HD/fire2 yet? Just curious because I have had some free time lately.

Did you ever care to look trough the current forum posts? You are asking questions discussed here for hundreds times. Please, make a small effort to educate yourself before asking anything.

Hi Timurg,
Sorry, but i did look at the forums. The only thing i found was the KFU (for the kindle fire 1st gen) and a rooting tool for the Kindle Fire HD.
So i understand that the rooting tool for the Kindle HD is also usable for the Kinle 2nd gen?

Yes the root tool does work for KF2, most things that have worked for the HD will work for KF2. That said not everything that works for the HD will work for the KF2 as they do have slightly different software.
Not to be a **** but, the posts above are right everything you have asked about is in these forums, you just have to dig a little deeper.
This thread will help you with the Play store-

As for running custom roms, no, its close but not yet. The closest thing to android feel you're gonna get is using an alternate launcher-

Hi guys, im chilean, and my moto X is in hardbrick, you are my salvation.
I follow the thread "Resurrecting a bricked moto x" and when the process finish, the CMD window say "DONE!" but my phone dont open fastboot, not even reboot!
PLEASE ! HELP ME, sorry, i know, my english sucks ! but i tried haha !
PS: I CHARGE MY PHONE WITH THE FACTORY CABLE, OFCOURSE
Why don't you post in that thread instead of creating a new fresh one without any information about the process?
I think your chances of success are higher using the other thread...

I agree. I have a 4th generation as well. I've been rooting devices for years but I can't seem to track down anything for the 4th edition. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I have recently had an update on my kindle fire 7 9th gen which is version 7.3.1.5 and I am wondering if theres any way to root it or possibly downgrade it because for some odd reason when I reboot to recovery and reboot to bootloader it puts me in fastboot mode but I have never done any type of modifications before. Just wanna know if its possible to downgrade or root this current version. Thanks

Most Fire root and bootloader unlock threads use the device codename as a reference.
Quick way to find codename
Install DevCheck
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck
or
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/flar2/devcheck-system-info/
Open app, tap System tab
Look for codename like Thor, Ford, Saturn...
Then search for that codename on xda or Google
or if you haven't installed google play store.
Get Droid Info app from the Amazon Appstore.
https://a.co/d/8NPjXzX
look @ General info/ Board
also the Model # will give the first 2 letters of the codename
for example the 5th gen Fire is KFFOWI
KFxxxx: Kindle Fire
xxFOxx: Ford (codename)
xxxxWI: WiFi only

Hello CoolDude4571: not sure why you were reported it may have been a mistake. I'm in the same boat as you are my fire 7 9th gen did an automatic update to I think 7.3.2.2? Not sure if that's accurate I don't have to tablet with me at the moment. But with the little bit of research I've done I can't find a root method for the current OS hopefully one of our big brothers or sisters will help. PS do more research get very familiar with navigating xda there is a vast plethora of knowledge here you just gotta learn how to search. Best of luck with the issue at hand
