Help the nooby ;) can't root kfhd2 7.3.1 - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Have received my Kindle HD 7" today. unfortunately I can't root it. I have watched all tutorials on YT and have read many threads on XDA but still can't find a solution how to root my kindl :s
Short info:
- System version 7.3.1
- Wifi disabled
- adb installed
- Android drivers installed (Android composite ADB interface)
- Allow installation of applications is "ON"
Tryin' to run "RunMe" but it isn't working as shown in the video.
I have some little experience in rooting devices, have rooted my HTC's several times but this seems to be a bit difficult than I thought.
Maybe it's because I'm using windows on bootcamp. Have to wait till my brother will go to sleep so I can get his laptop or maybe because my english is crap and I don't understand some parts.
If it's possible to root 7.3.1 - please explain HOW
Thanks in advance!

Here is my video:

Thanks! This helped me out greatly

As a note: sometimes the device is finicky when doing some of the auto installs. Its a good idea to check in cmd prompt that your PC sees your abd device after each reboot. Mine didn't after each step and I had to unplug-replug to get it see it again.

Some people have Flash issues with their Razr's after the ICS update. Even though you can download it, it doesn't work right.

Easier Root Exploit - Motochopper

Djrbliss strikes again with a new Motorola exploit and it works on the Atrix HD as well. A much easier one than booting up Linux IMO.

Go into root explorer / system/ app / blurupdater.apk and freeze, or delete it.
I THINK that would do it.

Linux method work's fine! I promise, you just got to follow instructions very,very close, step by step letter by letter. like setting up share.its GROUP.. not group. and ip address will work 10.0.x.x.x.
But great job guys! I really hope you get rooted now!

I just tried going back to stock via flashing sbf and root using motochopper. It works 100% and all I did is just pressing one click button.
It's even easier than rooting on ICS.

[Q] Can't go back to stock

Hi folks,
Posting on behalf of a friend, he recently switched sides from iPhone 5 to Note 3. After rooting his phone using Kingo 1.8, he accidentally renamed couple of folders under "System", most probably something related to SuperUser in order to make "Good for Enterprise" working on a rooted phone.
He took a system update shortly after getting the phone, MJ5 -> NB4, but now his device settings show both (Snapshot Attached). I would appreciate if someone can help us go back to stock.
There is a tutorial to return to MJ5 in the general section

here is the link that grey diggy was talking about. it does work - i have used it. it will take you back to MJ5 stock. just read and follow the directions. once you get everyting downloaded it should take about 20-30 minutes depending on how comfy you are with the tars and odin and what not.

He just tried it and it failed with an "invalid parameter" in Heimdall Suite in step 6.
He made it trough step 5 successfully including the "detect".
Make sure he is not in a USB 3.0 port. I had all sorts of trouble doing that.

I don't have a usb 3 port on that laptop. I used the usb 3 cable that came from samsung and I'm running windows 8.1 pro with media center.
Windows 8 is an asset when it comes to this stuff...
Try a different USB port anyways.
If that doesn't work, try to find a computer with Windows 7.

I'm not hijacking the thread, I'm the stupid friend the OP is trying to help. This is the error message I get from Heimdall.
Heimdall v1.4.0
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Setting up interface...
Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Failed to send data!Releasing device interface...
I'll load Windows 7 tonight. Try with different USB cables (does usb 2 cable instead of usb 3 matter???) and different ports.
I never said you were hijacking the thread... I accidently quoted myself while trying to edit... so Idk if you think I was insinuating that you were hijacking. .. I figured you were the OP's friend with the issues.
The cable never mattered for me. It wouldn't hurt to try a different cable though.

Solved
I tried running in Windows 8.1 in administrator mode and compatibility settings for Windows 7. It wasn't working in Windows 8.1.
Fresh install of Windows 7 did the trick. I was able to finish running through that walk-through and I'm now rooted on MJ5 (downgraded from NB4 OTA). Thanks again for all your help. Now I just gotta make a proper backup of this before I break it again.

[q] problems rooting again after verizon update

I will be completely honest I am a complete retard when understanding how rooting works... But I have done the process a dozen of times and I havent had any major problems but for this root I cant figure it out! So here is my problem....
Verizon sent me an update to the newest system version (98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US) so naturally I downloaded and installed the update and it UNROOTED my phone! I no longer have safestrap and superuser access and such. So I have tried different techniques and different programs on rooting this bad boy such as Motofail and Razrs_edge and I still cant get it to work... Both programs have the usual errors of "Permission Denied" or "Unable to". So all and all.... I NEED HELP!
Here is what I do know like im 99% sure about
-I have all the drivers and their is no yellow triangle and I have motorola device manager.
-I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging checked.
-I also forced stopped smart actions cuz I read on a post that I was causing problems while rooting.
Here is what I do NOT know
-Which USB mode do I need to be on? Mass Storage? MTP? idk!
-Do it matter that I am on 4.1.2?
Again I want to thank you for your time and I really would like some help with this darn thing! I am kinda desperate right now..

Hi,
The old root method won't work after the OTA update.

I used 3.5 patch which I think is the last one. And safestrap 3.65
There is a new safestrap version (you can find the thread in the development section), try to install the script after upgrading safestrap (you can find the instructions there). If that's not working, let Mentor know in the patch's thread.

One more thing: have you edited the build.prop manually before installing the script? Because the script won't work in that case AFAIK.
Also have you tried on other ROM?

the patch will edit the build.prop. You followed? From the Install menu select the .zip file and install without signature verification on your Rom

Found it couple minutes ago. but still is aborded. so I guess I have to try to update safestrap? But the 3.7 is not stable yet right?
3.72 is the latest one and it contains mainly recovery related updates. I think it should work fine.
I only encountered your problem once. I wanted to install eclipse rom from Safestrap 3.65, but the rom's install script was not compatible. I had to revert to Safestrap 3.11.
