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
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.
Trying to install the 2nd bootloader and TWRP onto my Kindle Fire HD 7", and came across a thread that had pretty intensive steps, so i followed these and everything seemed to be going through great with no problems. One of the steps was to Restore the Kindle to 7.2.3, to then allow the installation of the 2nd Bootloader using FireFlash and to install TWRP.
I ran the KFA program and selected the representing option, and it downloaded the System Images and prompted me to continue at certain steps, and everything seemed to have worked perfectly fine, no problems at all. The final step was to hard reset and then boot the Kindle back up and then check to make sure the Kindle was now on 7.2.3, and if it was I then needed to disable OTA Updates.
However, after doing all this and hard resetting the Kindle, it is still on 7.4.6 even though KFA said that everything had worked perfectly fine and that everything was successful. Tried it again making sure I followed every step to the letter and I have been presented with the same outcome.
Anyone have any advise they can give to overcome this problem, as I really don't know where i'm going wrong, if I am at all
Thanks

Kindle Fire First Aide has some some recent problems. If your are trying to restore, use your fastboot cord or make sure to have this tool boot your tablet into fastboot using regular USB cord and use this restore tool.

does anyone know or have the link to the CLI code which can be used to flash the 2nd bootloader and install TWRP, I already have the needed files downloaded to do so, just don't know all of the code needed, most of it is common command and trigger knowledge, but unsure on some of the nitty gritty coding through cmd
Thanks

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