I know most of you have answered these questions before, but...
I have tried all the tools, tutorials, and step by step (youre an idiot) guides to root my Fire HD. I can't get it to work, I keep getting the "daemon started successfully" prompt on Qemu root tool, permission denied, and not valid file on the Adb cmd screen. Please help!!! I already have about 12 hours into trying to get this done and I can't and won't stop until I get it done.
Thanks in advance,
Do you have superuser installed? Can you install es file explorer?

The Qemu automation script seems to work when rooting the device, I get the output saying it is rooted etc... The kindle restarts one final time and boots up again, all seems good, and superuser is installed. I can see it among my apps...
I used adb install to install root file explorer, and I grant it root access when trying to run it, but then it keeps closing on startup. The message "Root file explorer was stopped"... The software version is 7.2.1...
Any ideas out there? I am probably doing something stupid. I have also tried rooting manually with the same results.
I presume you've installed a terminal emulator and typed su and pressed enter. If this failed than you have root problems sir.

Yeah, I tried that... it runs with root access no problem... but when I Install root explorer it kills it.
Thanks though
That happened to me before.. to fix it just opened SU once, then tried again with Es and worked.

I have a rooted kindle with burrito root 10 months ago and now and tried to install cm10.
thought it went ok but is stuck in bootloop showing splash screen. Brick.
I must have messed up the bootloader because I can't get anywhere with KFU other than the device is online.
I reinstalled drivers, tried to reinstall FFF, twrp. no luck.
i've been reading threads a good part of the day and found fire kit with ubuntu running via USB.
I did that, then ran,
"sudo /cdrom/fk"
then I tried "usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp"
It failed saying "no such file or directory"
I'm not super familiar with ubuntu or their code.
Please help me unbrick this.

From what you wrote I suppose that you have original Kindle Fire and not Kindle Fire HD...
Anyway you could take a look on this thread.. someone wrote that he was able fix Booting loop with it

Yes, I have a original KF. Thanks for the thread.
I downloaded the file called "7.1.5_stock_build.prop.zip".
I don't seem to know as much as I thought I did with command prompt because I can't seem to get it to load.
what directory should stock_build _pro file be in?
I followed the following script:
Code:
# adb shell
# echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
I then get the following error:
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
[email protected]:/ $ echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
/system/bin/sh: can't create /data/local.prop: Permission denied

Wrong forum...
"I downloaded the file called "7.1.5_stock_build.prop.zip"."
I may be wrong, but I think that file is only for the HD, not the Gen 1 model (last year's model). If you jam it on your device you'll likely only make it worse (assuming you can get worse than bricked!)!
You need to get over to the Gen 1 forum as this is one for the HD series and won't be of any help to you.

ok thanks.
I am trying to root the KFHD 7", and have had no success in doing so. my computer recognizes the device as an and interface or whatever, but army can't seem to find it. also, in cmd, I can't figure out where to change directory to for the "adb devices". can someone please help me with this?
Hi all,
I'm new here, and I've been trying for the past few hours to root my Kindle Fire HD 7" so I can install a CM10.1 ROM and turn it into a google tablet. I've been searching the web for information, and I kept getting directed here so I decided I might as well join.
Anyway it seems the one method that works is the Bin4ry one, and I started following the instructions given on this site and others. However when I installed the driver, it said the installation was successful but when I clicked "Finish" a window popped up and told me the driver didn't install properly. Then I tried to execute the "Run Me" file, but it gave me this:
"Please connect device with enabled USB-debugging to your computer.
the system cannot find the path specified
doing a backup first, please confirm this on your device
the system cannot find the path specified
Done!"
Nothing happens on the Kindle Fire. But I checked the Device Manager, after I downloaded and installed a driver linked in a thread on this forum, it said the Kindle was USB-enabled interface. Anyone have any idea what the problem is, here? Thanks
Ok did you enable usb-debugging in the kindle's security settings? If you have try opening a command prompt and CD into the directory of the adb command in binary's root tool, run adb devices and see if the kindle is listed.

Yep, USB-debugging is enabled. It's the same thing as enabling ADB, right? This is what I've done thus far. I'm running Windows 8, so I've disabled driver signature enforcement, and also installed the drivers. I've checked Device Manager---the system has recognized the Kindle as a Google Android ADB interface, and if I check adb devices in cmd prompt, the serial number of my Kindle is listed. Also created an adb_usb.ini file according to these instructions:
"open adb_usb.ini with notepad
(add on one line each!)
0x1949
0x006
save file."
The problem now is not that nothing happens on the Kindle when I run the root tool, I do get the option to restore data but it prompts me to enter a data encryption password. I researched this and a techleopard article said to enter my Amazon password, which I did but nothing happens. The data restore options (Restore or Do Not Restore) just grey out and the root tool just says "Running" for ever and ever. Tried some other root tools such as Quemp and Kindle Fire Utility, but neither worked and besides the more recent information I've seen have Bin4ry's as the only one that works on 7.4.6 which is the OS I am using.
EDIT: Okay, tried it again and for some reason this time the root tool ran successfully. I did a power reset, and ran a RootChecker, and it says it's rooted but I can't find the SuperUser app (the checker also could not find it). Was the root still successful?
Probably though I am throwing a guess that only the such binary is installed, look in the /system/xbin folder and see if the such binary is there, if you want to to retry the process just delete that file. I was going to mention the encryption password is whatever your lock screen code is set to.
BTW don't ever use kfu to try to root your kindle, it will hard brick it. Its designed only for kf1's.

Heh, actually after a LOT of messing around, and perusing several articles across the web and on xda, I've got it working. KFU didn't brick anything, just didn't work. My only regret is that I now can't access the HD quality movies I'd bought from Amazon because Amazon only allows downloading to the Kindle and the Kindle only, and my internet isn't fast enough to stream HD.
I have a kindle fire hd 7 running 7.5.1 and am unable to root it. I've tried multiple methods and each time during the process, it says "...access denied" during some of the steps, but always finishes "successfully." Adb detects it and some commands bring back "access denied" or "ui connection timeout." Am I doing something wrong, or missing something?
