Hey guys got my Kindle Fire (Second Edition) today and I'm desperately trying to root it. I followed several instructions on the forums, Youtube, etc. but it wont work. I'm using a mac and tried to use this guide on the forums but it also wont work.
So now I'm asking myself if its even possible to root the KF with software version 10.2.1 on it? Did anyone manage to do so, preferably using a mac?

Sorry accidently posted in the wrong forum please delete or move to Kindle Fire 2

Yes you can

Yes you can
But remember the new fire, which you most likely have, is more similar - os wise - to the kindle HD than to the original kindle fire which the guide you refer to was written for ... look up the instructions for the HD fires and you'll likely have more success.

I would like to root my Fire HD, but am too afraid of messing it up. Is anyone working on a 1-Click method?

I was a bit like yourself and very unsure especially when using commands in the cmd.
This guide is an 'idiots' guide and you really can't go wrong with it and minimizes commands so you can't make any mistakes. :victory:
Edit: I can't post the website because I have less than 10 posts. Google "Inksavers idiot guide to rooting kindle fire hd 7 phandroid" and it is the top result.
Hi,
I think I might have bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7". I successfully rooted it using B1nary's tool (v17) and went about trying to install TWRP. I used this guide:
gizmodo.co.uk/2013/04/the-simple-guide-to-root-the-kindle-fire-hd-and-flash-a-custom-rom
Sorry for the lack of direct links - it's because I'm newly registered
I started having trouble around Step 2, with the adb shell commands not working. So I tried another method, and came across this one:
liliputing.com/2011/12/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-touch-based-recovery-on-the-kindle-fire-backup-restore-flash-custom-firmware.html
Stupidly, in my haste I neglected to read the fact that this tutorial is for a Kindle Fire, not the Fire HD. I got to the final step, step 11 - switched off my KFHD and now it won't start up again. I have a fastboot cable bought from eBay but I'm not sure if I've totally screwed my device or if it can be fixed. Due to the fairly incompetent nature of my fault, I haven't been able to find a solution via searching XDA or other forums, either.
Any help much appreciated.

Yea, flashing anything meant for another device is almost a certain hard brick. when you plug your device into a USB port with a fastboot cable, does it enter fastboot? If it does, you can try a a system restore. If it does nothing, that's it for the device.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It does nothing. Diddly squat. Oh well, I guess I'll just chalk it up to incompetence experience....and go buy a Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 3 :-|

I like my Kindle Fire HD however I just bought a Nexus 7 Flo to get me by until the Kindle Fire HDX has some custom ROM's (if it gets some.) I'm a flashaholic and need a fresh fix lol.
Hi Folks!
I think i made a big mistake.
I used Kindle Fire First Aide on my device and now I'm stuck in Fastboot mode.
From what i read now, i used the wrong Version (Option "Completely Restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3") wich is for older Kindles.
I looked for the Stock Images for this Model, but couldn't find them....
Is there a way to fix it or do i have to contact Amazon?
Can Amazaon reconstruct my mistake and avoid the warranty?
Thank's l lot for guiding a prat....

That method should work. It flashes a small system image with some stuff removed i think, then it pushes a update onto the device that then updates it to a full os. Should work like it did on the other devices it was tested on, i'm assuming that utility should also flash the correct bootimg and recovery as well. Without the right bootimg it wouldn't probably bootup enough for the procedure to finish.

i tried kyle-berry's files but it didnt boot up after that.. had to use an old boot.img
I haven't downloaded his tool to checkout his script and see how it runs. Does it flash the old boot image we were using or does it not flash the boot partition at all?

Can't post a link, but there is a specific Kindle HD forum that should be able to help you. You will brick your device if you use the info found on this forum.

thanks i found out a way to flashboot my kindle fire hd 7 for different commands reboot,flash img etc. But i can't seem to find out a way to fix it! i was wondering if there is even any way to do it!
Sorry, but I only know enough to be dangerous. What I do know for certain, is that if you type "Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD" in the "Type To Find Your Device" box above, you will be directed to the correct forum and more likely to find folks that will be able to help you. This is the first gen Kindle forum, and using any of the solutions found on this forum will probably brick your device.

I need some assistance with unbricking my kindle fire HD I had rooted it and tried to install a custom rom using FIRE FIRE and it bricked my device as it was the incorrect bootloader. I have a factory cable, but I do not know the commands to push the kindle fire stock OS to the device or how to unbrick it with root.
It can either boot to fastbootmode or has a Red Screen.
I have tired KFFIRSTAIDE, but can not get it to operational status.

product: Tate-PVT-08
Any help is appreciated.
