Hey guys, I have a friend with a Kindle Fire HD 7" and he wants to get root so he can have access to the Play Store and delete some of the bloat. The only problem is, he only has a Mac to do the work from and I am way too far from him to help him using my computer. Does anyone know of any guides he could use or perhaps the drivers he would need to install to get root on his device? I don't know much about Macs so you'll have to pardon my ignorance if he doesn't actually need drivers or something. I really appreciate the guidance!
Is it Mac os x if it is you should be able to root the kindle fire hd its just like windows xp Ive tryed both they seem to work for rooting

Yeah, it is Mac OS X, does he not need to worry about drivers, then?
Just get the adb drivers for Mac os x
And kindle fire hd adb drivers

I've been browsing Kindle fire HD root videos and forums all day. There seem to be almost none for the 7.4.8 version. I cannot find any videos or tutorials for my kindle version. Do I need to downgrade? If so, how? Where do I begin? I'm a newbie.
Root it just like you would the other versions. Binary's root or kffa root, if nothing else works just downgrade it, those are prerooted.

I don't know which tutorial to follow.
The search button is useful.... Here's binariy's root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Asides this, will I also be able to successfully root through the tutorials on youtube which are meant for version 7.4.6?
They should work, as far as I know nothing has ever changed in the rooting process for this device.

Thank you
I also lost root with the update to 7.4.8 a few days ago.
I originally rooted my kindle with bin4ary's root, but that program was able to re-root it.
Thank you for suggesting KFFirstAide because that program was able to restore root for me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I rooted a 7.4.8 this week, it was no different to do than before it was upgraded, I think the user had upgraded the firmware to 7.4.8 and caused a boot loop problem, so it had to be put back to stock and then re-rooted, just take your time and follow all the instructions to the letter, I used "Root Many Android" as the software, also ensure the ADB drivers are correctly installed >and working< and you set the windows Enviromental Variables path correctly, ensure the kindle is charged up before you start. Good luck
Downgrade 7.4.8

I have been trying to root my Kindle all morning, searching through videos here and downloading links. All I have ended up doing is getting a bunch of malware on my computer which I can't remove! And now when I go to uninstall programs it only shows I have 3 programs installed. I'm so frustrated and I just want my computer back to normal. Please, can anyone help me?

Eh... Not exactly the best place to ask for help fixing your pc. That can be more difficult to explain how to fix over the net, If you want someone to repair your pc for free then pm me or hit me up on skype, i can fix pc's remotely assuming it still gives you network access and lets you install programs, and also assuming the virus isnt the kind that prevents me from fixing it short of pulling the hard drive and scanning it remotely. However i will say this, if your programs list only has 3 programs on teh add remove page, its possible some registry keys were deleted.
If however you are looking for the kindle fire 7 hd 2012 root utility, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
if its the 2013 model, don't use that there's another tool for it.

Firefirefire isn't for the HD.........

So as a complete newbie I tried to root my 7" Kindle Fire HD using the method described in
"[ROOT] [How To] Root Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Version 7.4.7" and failed somewhere around Step 8 (the option to back up my data never appeared). Now I'm left with a Kindle Fire that works just as it did before but with the drivers deleted, which means I can't transfer files onto it or try some of the new methods I've seen to root it. So, could someone please tell me how to reinstall those drivers that I deleted? Thank you for your help!
