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?

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 have a kindle fire 2 rooted on 10.2.3. I have been looking at threads about bootloader cracks for the 8.9 but haven't been able to find anything containing the actual crack or anything about the non hd variant. Can someone show me what I need to find? Also how do I get to fastboot on this device?

Confirmed to be working, rooted my device last night, now i need a new rom since i got rid of alot of the stock apps and now the main screen's option for web etc don't work or lead to anything.
Also, installed google frame works and got working store, but gmail and youtube just open and immediately close saying 'youtube has stopped/gmail has stopped/'" anyone else have that problem?
I tried the bootloader crack as listed in the 8.9 development. Either i am doing something wrong or it may not work for the KF2. Anyone else try it??

Look Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34728638&postcount=1
I tried the commands that say prepare for CWM.
And then when I rebooted after issuing the fastboot command...it didn't go into fastboot mode.
From what I read there its supposed to. I am not a noob and get around but I am not a developer.
Do we have someone that can champion CM10 for the KindleFire2

I'm not even sure how to get to fastboot on this device, I do know that the original kindle fire had to have the idme bootmode 4002 command to get to fastoboot but I don't want to screw up my device trying to get to fastboot without someone who knows what they are doing telling me how to.

You need to have ADB drivers. Go to the first link, download the attachments for the ADB drivers, install them on your computer, then run the root method again.

Hardly. I was thinking ADB drivers since the commands returned with denied permission.
Try a factory reset then try again, make sure allow installation from unknown sources is ticked,when you get the prompt on your kindle to restore during the process enter your amazon password then hit restore.
Thanks you guys are the best, wish i was born 20 yrs later lol

I DID IT!!!!!!! This is a big deal for me and this is how I(ole Grany) here Rooted a Kindle Fire HD 7.4.1.
I Changed PC's from Win 7 to Windows XP
I did a clean install of the ADB Drivers for Kindle(Made sure it showed up in Device Manager (No SDK install)
I restored Kindle to Factory, Set the Accept things like adb and developer thing in the kindle
I installed the Bin4ry v26(tried v30 would not work)
I extracted the Bina4ry to desktop to folder called "rooting"
then went to prompt and / cd desktop/rooting/runme
First go I thought I screwed up Kindle all apps gone and it was in slow mo..
Did a factory reset
Started over...BAM! I almost peed my pants...
Then followed instructs for installing Play...BAM..done
Now all I need is a new rom which I have no idea which is best so give me some ideas and I will learn how to install that
Oh I used es explorer(the new one) ad task manager.
I swear the Kindle seems faster..
Thanks again to all of y'all...It is so cool....here in Nashvegas....

Well, I'm glad that worked out after all. Since you're rooted, you can now follow and complete my guide to install a custom ROM. Just start at Step 2.

Just because you're too scared to trust the guide doesn't mean you have to spread that fear to other people with the desire to accomplish what the guide designates as the goal. The guide works.

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.

please excuse my bad english, i give my best and i hope somebody can understand me. :crying:
First of all i have to say thanks for all the work that everyone here does for persons like me, persons without understanding how an computer, handy, tablet, and so on works.
I hope my question is simple to answer, unfortunally i am a little bit confused about the many versions of the kindle fire and i dont know what tutorial is the right for my device.
I rootet my Kindle Fire HD 7" 2013 (KFSOWI) 11.3.2.2 and installed SU. Works perfect.
Now i want make a complete backup of the device in this state to restore "in case of emergency". :laugh:
A complete image of all "partitions", apps, everthing. Is this possible?
If yes, how?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

surpisingly the answer is no. You can backup the recovery partition and the bootimg but thats about it, the system partition is bigger than the ammount of ram the kindle has, and fastboot stores the image in the ram when flashing, luckily theres a utility that can restore your kindle if it bricks, it flashes a smaller system image first thats incomplete but has enough thtere to get adb shell access, then pushes a amazon ota onto the device and forces it to update thus providing you with the full os.
Help me out?
Hey man. Sorry this isn't an answer to your question. But how did you root your 11.3.2.2? Im just having the worst time trying to find out how. If you'd answer this, you'd have my many thanks.
I thought the old method involving a fastboot cable worked. If not try downgrading the os and rooting it.

Its the downgrading method with factory cable, without factory cable it will not work.
To make this cable is not really difficult, so try it. :good:
