I decided to root my kindle fire hd 7" today and I went through the whole process and downloaded the New kindle drive and the rooting software. It said I had finished rooting and when I went in and checked it, it said it was rooted but I can't find the superuser app that everybody who rooted had. Why can't I find it, isn't it supposed to be just in my apps?

Use root checker app to verify that you have SU binary. If it says that you have root,just install SuperSU app. It's way better than the Superuser app.

So I downloaded a root checker and it says it's rooted, how do I get the SuperSu app? I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll probably try your other idea and reroot it.

You can just download it from the Play Store.

Hey everybody, I'm quite new in this but I hope I can get help from you. I got a Kindle Fire HD and successfully rooted it. Everything was fine until one day I somehow lost root access. I used supersu and when I open it a messsge pops up saying that there are no su binaries and supersu cannot install them. I already tried to root it again but I get an error. I hope somebody can help me please!

thanks for the answer. I downloaded everything but I can't flash it because I don't have root access
Just get the latest version of Bin4ry's root method. Search it.
You lost root because you didnt disable the ota updates from amazon.

Hi all,
I've rooted my Kindle Fire 7" HD but I'm unable to install any apps via the Google Play Store. SuperSU has been install successfully & I've also upgraded it to v1.3. Root Checker Basic confirms that I do indeed have root permissions. I followed the tutorials posted by @prokennexusa & the app loads up fine. But when I attempt to install anything, the Play store closes. When I attempt to reopen it, it will close straight away. I have to clear the app's data before I can load it up again.
I had done this previously on a different Kindle & all was fine so it's probably me missing a step. Anyone got any ideas on what that missing step might have been? I'm running v4.1.10 of the Play Store. Is this the latest?
Cheers for any tips you can give me,
Lee
Make sure you're using the right GAPPS for your OS. I recommend flashing Kinology ROM, as it includes GAPPS and SuperSU. It's just stock with extra features, so it works really well.

You can't root your tablet with root and restore. Check the links in my signature.
Edit: There are no custom ROMS for your tablet yet.

as the title says,need to send it back as it is having volume problems,it keeps turning itslef up.i have done a factory reset etc etc but its still the same,,,,whats the best tool now to return it completely to how it was when i got it with no trace of roms or twrp
thankyou
What I would do is use kindle fire first aid to restore it to stock, then manually unroot it by first deleting the superuser apk from the system partition, then deleting the su binary. Seem's like the updates from their site used to be flash able from twrp if you changed the extension, you could always let it ota or manually update it after using kffa to restore it, that would also take care of root.

It should be ready now, once a stock ota image updates the kindle it basically wipes all changes you made from the system partition.

thanks stunks,off to amazon we go
Hi, I'm new to this and I'm just wondering why my kindle fire running on 7.4.8 did not root. I followed all the steps for bin4ry, everything went well (backed up rebooted and all) but at the end, the device did not have the superuser app. So I'm assuming it did not root. So what happened? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.
Don't select normal, select old when it asks what method.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I wasn't able to use your suggestion but I was able to root the kindle already (checked via root checker). For some reason, the superuser is just not appearing. I've read about it on other threads and they said that I would just have to install the superuser app via google play store. So I'm currently working on that. Thanks again!

V31 Binary Root works best in my opinion. That's why old works better. Install SU and check for root.
