[Root][Working 10.3.1]Kindle Fire 2 Root made easy

After looking all across the internet on how to root one of these for a friend, I finally just tried what I did to my Hd 7" and it works, so here's what I did.
What you need:
-Bin4ry's Root
-QemuRoot
Also: I picked up the HD adb drivers from the Qemu page, they did work on recognizing my friends KF2 as an adb interface
(I take no credit for these programs, and am not responsible for any problems they may cause)
Before you start this process, ensure that in Settings>Device>"allow installation of applications" is on, as well as Settings>security>"Enable adb"
-Install the adb drivers if you haven't already
-Extract both Qemu and bin4ry's tools to your C: Drive (For Command prompt purposes) and what I have done is renamed the folders to "Root" and "Qemu"
Like this
Now we're going to start the process. If you are an experienced user and already have adb running, I suggest opening task manager and killing adb.exe
In windows:
Click on start, then type CMD in, right click it then "Run as administrator" Like this
If you named the files "Root" and "Qemu" this are the steps:
Step 1: Type this in the window, hitting enter after each line.
cd ..\..\Root
runme.bat
When the screen shows an interface, type 1 then hit enter, A lot of errors will show up but that's fine,
On Kindle:
When your kindle shows a "Restore" screen hit restore (No data will be lost, no worries)
After it finishes out you should get a command line again like "C:\Root>"
Step 2: Now for the Qemu, type
cd ..\Qemu
rootqemu.bat
When you get another interface type 1, then hit enter, press enter a couple times until it starts the steps.
It'll restart your kindle a couple times make sure you don't press enter until it has booted up again whenever it prompts you to.
You'll get some errors, especially on the local.prop section, that's fine, when it runs all the way through, You are rooted.
If you want proof, you can download Es File explorer and grant it Root permissions in the settings.
If you want Google play, I suggest this guide (note: in that guide, when he references "Settings/apps" he means "System/apps")
If you want GO Launcher HD and other goodies like no more lockscreen ads, download KindleFree from google play (Pro version is $1.99, needed to get rid of adds, better than paying 15 bucks to get rid of em)
Last remarks:
I don't really know if this did anything, but I went into device manager and under "portable devices" I disabled the kindle, just to make sure there would be no interference.
Also, this guide works for the Kindle Fire HD 7" (ver. 7.2.3), not sure about the 8.9" as I don't own it, nor know anybody who has one.
HUGE EDIT:I forgot to put "cd" in front of the command lines, which would result in it doing nothing, I apologize.

Edit: GO launcher HD didn't work for him, he installed APEX instead and it worked.
I would have added this to the post, but my KFHD isn't editing the post properly.

Hello, I followed the above the above, it all went well, I then followed the Google play tut, perfect.......
Then I over did it and put the apex launcher apk into system/app directory as suggested in another post, big mistake, now it boots and the launcher keeps crashing , if I click search on the bottom task bar the kindle resets
I can still adb into it, so all is not lost, but I have a question, can anyone give me any ideas on how I can get to root explorer (installed, but not accessible because the launcher keeps crashing) I would be very grateful. Or as an alternative, and adb/shell command(s) I can run to delete the apex apk.

Once you are rooted, you can manually remove the lockscreen ads, without purchasing an app to do it. It is simple. I removed the ad app using Titanium Backup Pro but, others have done it THIS way.

Do people actually want to keep the KF lockscreen? It seems like a lot more work to remove the adds than it is to add a new lockscreen using the NoLock method. However, on certain lockscreens (I've been trying a lot since I haven't used a tablet much, so I haven't found a favorite lockscreen for tablets) I do notice that the, homebar (not sure what that bottom bar is officially called since I have a vendetta against it) won't hide for some of the lockscreens I've tried. Other than that though I find it much nicer and easier to replace the thing then get the adds off.
I get that your post was a free way, but just curious. As a side note, why are there no cool tablet lockscreens? It took ages for people to get cool phone lockscreens going, I hope someone thinks up something unique for tablets!

Thanks, but the lock screen/ads are not the problem, I have (stupidly) put the apex launcher into the system/apps folder (as instructed on another post). What happens now is that when I start up my KF2 I get the message "Apex launcher has stopped working" this means I have no access to any of my installed apps (root explorer etc) to be able to remove the apex launcher
I have tried to start the search (magnifying glass icon) to manually type in "root explorer" but this just causes the KF2 to re-start.
I have access thro phone explorer, but it will not allow me to delete the apex launcher apk (probably because it keeps trying to run). What I am after is any tips/methods to be able to either start root explorer or adb into the KF2 to be able to delete the apex launcher apk.
Any ideas/tips very welcome.

on step 1, I select normal, get errors but never get restore showing on my KF. Any suggestions?

Exactly why I removed the ads and not the lock screen. Learned earlier in AVD that the Launcher is tricky. I pushed ADW.Launcher to the system/app folder and had the same issue. Since we have no option to restore at this time, it's best not to hack the system up too bad. Hopefully, the bootloader will be cracked soon and recovery will be possible. Until then, be patient and be safe. I suggest practicing in the emulator before trying anything on the device. Just a precaution.

Thank for the advise, but I have not removed the lock screen, just rooted it and pushed the google market/framework/vending etc, Am I missing something obvious that you are trying to tell me? Sorry if I am
The emulator sounds good, have you got a link please? (I have the SDK installed).

OK, all sorted
I ran -Bin4ry's Root, this takes you to the 1st step (restore), on this screen I managed to click the search (mag-glass) without the KF2 resetting (possibly this stopped the apex launcher?). This then allowed me to search for RootExplorer (previously installed) and then I could delete the Apex.apk from system/apps..... reboot all done.
However, this does make me wonder what is going on, I can install a game from google play, all good, the icon shows up (and I can search for it) run it all good. But if I try to install a launcher (apex,adw, go ex etc) they don't show up either icon or in search Any ideas why this could be? (I checked under settings/applications/installed applications/all applications/ click on apex but the launch by default button is grayed-out)
Oh, just a quick tip with the above rooting method, if your KF2 does not re-set during rooting (when it should) I just manually re-set it and all seemed to go well Also it can take a long time for the KF2 to been "seen" by the PC after re-boot, just be patient

I had to fish for em sometimes using AndroExplorer using the "My programs" tab they have in the app.

I'm trying to root a kindle fire 2 running 10.2.4, and i am hitting a road block over and over. I run bin4ry's tool, and it goesthrough the sequence of error messages, the wait 10 seconds message, some more error messages, then it says it's done. It never gives me a restore prompt.
I don't think it's a driver problem. device manager sees adb composite interface. I have, however used multiple driver sources just to be sure, no difference. Used bin4ry's original files, and tried with the ones from the sdk. Same results.
Any ideas? I must be overlooking something.

What do you get if you run:
adb devices
Which your Kindle connected try running:
adb kill-server
Then
adb start-server
Then try it again. To check the commands, just type adb and press enter.

Dont set as adminstrator just click the bin4ry's

Many, many thanks to the OP and others in this thread, as well as this forum. It was a pain in the ass, but I got the drivers and adb installed and finally got my KF2 rooted. Then I spilled half a glass of beer onto the Fire...
The case protected it from getting wet but half a glass of good beer was lost.
Thanks again,
KindofBlues71

This method worked as per the op. The only thing I had problem with was the usb drivers (linked in the op), had to get the usb drivers using Android sdk method.
Now the Kindle is no more but a vanilla tablet. Thanks.

[INFO] Root, install TWRP, install CM10, general how to's

This is posted here because theres no "General" section for the KFDH8
There's really go guides/how to's/info all in one place for the KFHD8 so I figured I'd put one together. I didn't come up with any of this stuff, but I searched high and low for some of these answers and some aren't "simple" to find.
I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, CAUSES BIG FOOT TO DO UNMENTIONABLE THINGS TO YOU WHILE YOU'RE SLEEP, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY RUINS YOUR LIFE. THESE ARE ALL PERFORMED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
[How To] Root Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The author of the OP asked the file not be mirrored anywhere else, so please don't take the file and create another post with the file mirrored. If the link doesn't work, the op is located here. You need to post there or here and ask someone for a link via PM. ALSO This does NOT Install Busy Box, you'll need to download and install that once you get the market installed.
1 - Download the .zip file here
2 - Extract the file to the folder of your choice
3 - Double click the "RunMe.bat" file and follow the directions
(note, there is a step that will ask you to type something on your screen, watch for it, otherwise you'll have to start over)
Alternatively, you can download and use the tool located here. It'll automatically root it for you when you do the Restore+Root option(but it's a 1.1gb file so prepare for a lengthy download time)

[How To] Install TWRP on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
The instructions and files are found here along with REALLY good instructions. Little hint: when you're typing in the code, it's probably best to just copy and past what Hashcode typed up rather than try to type it out yourself.
Link to CM10.1(Android 4.2.2): Files plus are all listed here. Just download the files, copy to your kindle, boot into recovery(with the device powered off, hold Vol + and power. Release power once you see the Kindle logo but keep holding Vol + until it boots into TWRP), and install.NOTE: THERE IS AN EXTRA STEP IF YOU HAVE SYSTEM VERSION 8.3!

[How To] Install gApps onto the Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
In order to do this you need a file explorer app that will allow you to write to the system folder and change file permissions(I.E. - ES File Explorer)
1 - Download the file located here
2 - Extract the file and copy the Apps folder to your kindle(located under the "System" folder once the file is extracted)
3 - Navigate to the Apps folder you just copied to your Kindle and install GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
4 - Copy Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk to /system/app on your Kindle
5 - Change the permissions of Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk so they're set to the following:
User: Read Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
6 - Install Phonesky.apk and Talk.apk and reboot the device
Google Play Market should now show up under your apps. Just to be safe, I also reinstall GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk again just to be sure...probably not needed...but it's what I do

[How To] Set a different default launcher on your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
You can do this 1 of 2 ways, the way I'm listing is "fool proof" so to speak, but require you to purchase Titanium Backup Pro. The other way doesn't cost anything, but also doesnt work for EVERY launcher(such as ADW.Launcher EX). The other way with directions is here(though it says it's for the Kindle Fire 7, it will work on the 8.9" too)
1 - Download your launcher of choice(I prefer Go Launcher HD for Pad and install from Google Play
2 - Open Titanium Backup Pro
3 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab, long press on the launcher you just installed and click "Convert to system app"
4 - Press the "home" buttom and it will prompt which launcher you want to use

[How To] Remove Bloatware from your Kindle Fire HD 8.9"
Again, there are two ways to do this(one being use ADB and manually delete the apps from the /system/app folder) but again, this way is probably a bit safer
1 - Open Titanium Pro
2 - Go to the "Backup/Restore" tab
A - If the app you want to remove is RED then you have to long press on the app, select "Convert to user app", long press it again, and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall"(this will back it up in case you need to reinstall it)
B - If the app you want to remove is white, then you can just long press and select "Backup-->Verify-->Uninstall
C - If the app you want to remove is RED AND doesn't give the option to convert it to a system app, if you can just tap the app name(not long press) and select "Freeze App" that will disable the app so it's not used anymore.

Click to collapse
Q. Why can't I get certain apps to install on my Kindle Fire DH 8.9" through Google Play?
A. That's because the KFHD8 isn't supposed to have Google Play on it, so certain apps will say they aren't compatible with your device. The way around that is to either A - change your build.prop so that it shows a different device(which I wouldn't do if I was you) or B - Use Market Helper. It will fool the Play Market into thinking you have a different device which will allow you to install the "restricted" apps. You'll need Root, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginServices installed for this to work.
Q. When I try to use "X" app, it says Google is requesting permissions to log-in, but when I click on the notification, it just disappears.
A. You need to install GoogleLoginServices
Q. Why can't I add widgets to my homescreen when using my customer launcher?
A. The Kindle Fire does not by default support homescreen widgets, this you need to install the App Widget Picker THEN set a widget.
Q. When I try to open Gmail it just says the app has stopped...why?
A. You need to install Account and Sync Settings.
Q. OH NOOO!!!! I FUBAR'ed MY KFHD8!!! HOW DO I RESET IT BACK TO FACTORY?!?!?!?!
Download and use the tool located here
Q. Is the SIM card in my KFHD8 removable? If so, is the tablet unlocked?
A. The sim card is removable. It's located on the top left side of the device. And yes, it is unlocked. BUT there are no T-Mobile 3g/4g bands as seen in the FCC doc [url="https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/GetApplicationAttachment.html?id=1794817']here[/url].
That's all for now folks! I'll add more as it comes along. If you see a mistake or think something might be a good idea to add...just lemme know...i'll get it added!

I totally agree with most of these steps, especially rooting and TWRP. However, in my opinion a simpler way to get things like a new launcher and the android market on the kindle with an application called KindleFree - http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...cher-and-google-play-store-on-kindle-fire-hd/
Its a straight forward APK that does most of the work for you in regards to installing services and getting things configured. There is a free version linked and after using the free version to get the process started a paid version will let you complete the rest of the setup (It costs $1).
It was a life saver for me because of its simplicity.

If you have installed TWRP recovery, can't you just flash the last ICS gapps from recovery?

Rooting 8.3.1
Hi!
I forgot to opt-out of automatic updates and today my KFHD8 has updated itself to v8.3.1.
I tried to root it againg using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v27 (from the link on the thread You provided) but after saying it was a success and rebooting I tried running "SuperSU" and I get this message:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it."

I'm about to order a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and wanted to get confirmation that rooting and custom rom installation is working on the 8.3.1 version of the firmware. Thanks!

Yes 8.3.1 can be rooted and you can install a custom rom. There is a thread in Q&A called rooting 8.3.1 from scratch that has detailed instructions if you need help.

[Q] Black wallpaper on Kindle Fire

Hi every one,
first, sorry for my english. I'm french.
I root my Kindle fire HD with this tuto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
Then, I intall Playstore with this tuto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
Finally, I install Go launcher HD with this tuto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069668
But I have only black screen and no wallpaper.
I know it's a know issue, and I try to apply this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75
But when I try to launch the RunMe.bat and choose the first choice, it say me:
"Your system partition is too low on disk space to complete the procedure, please delete your alternate launchers, widget picker, and livre wallpaper chooser if installed and try again".
I do that, I uninstall go launcher Ex and HD and every thing from the system/app folder, but it say me the same thing everytime. I really don't know How I can apply the fix... :/
My kindle Fire HD is on version : 7.4.8
Thanks a lot for your help!

This is a problem that happens when the system partition doesn't have enough space to safely install the fix, anything you added to the system folder should be uninstalled temporarily. If it was not for thisnpritective measure you would have had the device go into a boot loop. If you can verify that your device does have enough free space on the system partition(around 30-35 mb if I remember correctly) then technically you can modify the script to disable the failsafe pretty easily. Run "df /system" from a adb shell or terminal to find out how much so pace the system partition has free. Personally I recommend just flashing a new ROM over the amazon os because they are so much better but if you want to stick with amazon os then I will try to help you out with the wallpaper fix.

Just a black creen like before.
I try with wallchanger, but nothing.
Hard way just for a wallpaper... thanks Amazon^^

You have rebooted the device right? If it still doesn't work undo the fix and redo it again, also clearing the dalvik cache can sometimes help.

Yes, I have rebboted.
Automatically when the fix have finished, and again manually after.
I try to do it againt after cleaning, but I doesn't work.
I don't understand...

Can you be more specific? Did the script fail or you mean it applied it again but didn't work again?

The scripts finish and say me it finished successfully, and the wallpaper must now work. And the Kindle reboot automatically.
It say me to press key to finish, and the script close.
So I think, it's the normal process with the fix.
I try twice, but same result. The script say me it's good, but no wallpaper, just a black screen.

Hmm wonder if there were any errors along the way I don't have failsafes in place for. If you could copy and paste the output into a post in code brackets I could tell if there was a issue or just use the debugger batch file. Read the instructions for it though or you will think it's broken. You could always just downgrade the kindle is with kffa or flash another ROM to fix the problem.

If there is no solution, I'll install a custom ROM I think. Simplest I think^^
But a question about that, with another ROM, can I'll still be able to use the Amazon market, read my books buy on, and everything like the Amazon ROM?
If It's ok with that, I think this is the solution.
Is there a really safe processus for? And good custom ROM with this device?
Sorry for all my stupid questions, I'm a really noob with root, etc...

Ah I see why the fix isn't working, its something to do with when it when it retrieved the framework-res.apk, or something of that nature because the file couldn't be found when it attempted to decompile.
To answer your questions about a custom ROM, I prefer stock cm personally, latest version is cm 11. I don't know too much about what's possible with the amazon market on the non amazon is. I think you can still read books, but forget about amazon prime movies and such. I'll check what the amazon app can do in a sec and edit the post. I personally son,t own any books on amazon market so I can't personally test if I can read them, I mainly read manga on my kindle with the pocket manga app. The process to install a custom ROM is safe if you follow the instructions and check things like the md5sum of the bootloader ahead of time and such, but it is possible to hard brick this device. Main point, you probably wouldn't hard brick the device, as long as you check the bootloader's md5sum before flashing it the worst you can do is soft brick it and that's fixable with a fastboot cable. The process is fairly easy and automated if you use the fire flash app.
Edit: OK so I think you can use the amazon app, I can neither confirm nor deny because my amazon kindle app is crashing at launch. I think it works on cm 11 though, I'm still on cm 10.1 because of I'm still having to figure out a way to keep my tablet ui when going to cm 11. Someone might post if they can use it or not because I am unsure. You can always flash back to amazon os, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Ok thanks for your responses!
I'll install CM11. But, Must I really buy this cable? http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm
I don't have, juste the original cable and sector in the kindle's box.
On this video, he don't use special cable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVuvR-hHOLE#t=14
is this proccess is safe? I guess, but I prefer ask you before make a mistake^^

OK I haven't clicked the link yet but I don't tend to use video tutorials, there have been a few hard bricks from people downgrading to a incompatible bootloader. You don't need a fastboot cable/adapter unless you brick it. Lemme grab a link for you. And I will check the video out to make sure its the right one while I'm at it.
Edit: OK well that seems to be the right video, personally I prefer this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Its pretty simple, and you don't have to verify the md5sum when downgrading the bootloadernsinc exit includes the file and I assume checks this itself. Only major steps I recommend are put the ROM and gapps on the sdcard ahead of time in case of a boot loop into twrp, and make sure you check the box off with red text around it warning about the bootloader needing to be downgraded. If you don't check the box that downgrades the bootloader then you are going to need a fastboot cable to fix the red screen brick that will result. Oh and another thing, the IMG link has not been updated yet to the twrp 2.7 build which is the latest, so when it says to grab twrp from that page, instead go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218796
Once you go there download the zip and extract the img file from it and use it instead.

Ok, thanks a lot for your help. It's very appreciated!
So I wait your link for the good process to be sure everything will be ok.

Updated post ^^
I kinda put more into that post than I thought I would. I for some reason can't stand YouTube. I mean its great on occasion but I think I grew to dislike it from people constantly sending me instant messages with YouTube links back in the day, annoyed me so much that I grew to dislike it... Kinda funny if I think of it that way.

Ok, I'll follow the tuto wich you gave me in link.
But, in the introduction, Seokhun wrote:
++Note: As of December 2013, Hashcode updated the freedom-boot.img to Amazon 7.4.6 so there should be no more bootloops or any other issues like that for those running 7.4.6 or lower, but to be safe, revert back regardless. If your tablet is running anything higher than 7.4.6, you will run into issues when completing the guide. Again, if you revert back to 7.2.3 like I pointed to above, then you will have no issues. If you didn't revert, always make sure your tablet is running the same or lower version than Hashcode's freedom-boot.img.

My kindle is on version 7.4.8. Is there a problem with that?
EDIT: ok I confirm, the tuto is very clear and easy to follow step by step.
I've been very careful and I've follow the written tuto with the video tuto in the same time to read and watch step by step to do no mistake, and It's perfect. Everything works perfectly!
CM11 is installed, no problem!
Thanks a lot for your help stunts, without you, I'll still be in the sand...
Great forum and great community!
Edit2 : Amazon store, apps, books, everything works perfectly... awesome!!

quicker fix
if u just want an easy way to wallpaper, then install vire launcher. i use it and it is nice. it could use more features but itll come along. i also ran into another launcher or 2 that also allowed wallpapers but cant remember the names offhand. i too never got the wallpaper fix to work for my kindle as well. 3rd gen KFSOWI. waiting for unlocked bootloader or whatever lol.

[Q] KFSOWI Unknown Sources Issue. Please Help

Hi i am using a rooted kindle fire hd 2013 11.3 after rooting it and taking off bloatware and making a few bad guesses of what other stuff to uninstall, I can not install apk from unknown sources. 1mobile market will install programs fine but oddly every once in a while it wants me to enable unknown sources. From uninstalling something i shouldnt of now it will not enable this in the stock rom menu. When i click on enable from the popup menu it dissapears and takes me to tablet desktop. When i click applications in the menu it drops to desktop also. I have got around this with adb pushing the files from linux. Somehow though i cant see what gets installed unless browsing system folders. If anyone has any suggestions i would appreciate ur input. I only have a normal charging cord that does connect with adb. I do not have a fastboot cable. I have stock .bin waiting to use the apk files but they are not installing with adb for some reason while others would.
If at all possible couldnt i use terminal app on my kindle now to browse apk files and install what it missing locally from the device? If so i would need help with commands from the device. Thanks

[Q] Can't see Kindle Fire HD 7" in my list of devices

Hi, I've been browsing for a few days and looking for a way to make my rooted Kindle Fire HD 7" show up in my explorer so I can transfer files to/from it. I used to have this ability, but it went away somehow about a year ago. I have searched prior posts, things I have tried so far:
Downloaded Android Studio hoping it would have the ADB file (I don't think I got that advice here, it was my bright idea)
Downloaded Kindle Fire ADB drivers executable file (from a forum post here) and installed it, it appeared to install correctly but nothing changed
Downloaded a bundle of USB drivers (from a forum post here) and pointed my device manager (showing MTP only, occasionally Kindle appears, both with yellow triangles) to the folder, with search subfolders checked, and nothing changed.
I can report that I am using Go Launcher HD but I don't remember the root method I used, it was a couple years ago. I remember it involved doing a lot of manual changing of file permissions. If that information is needed, is there somewhere I can look in my Kindle to find out?
Anyway, I'm hoping to troubleshoot how I can regain the ability to move files/navigate from my PC, thank you for all of the dedication to helping us less-knowledgeable folks :fingers-crossed:
