[Q] How to root kindle fire HD 7" version 7.4.8? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Please help!!!
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.

[Q] Problem rooting Kindle Fire HD 7"

When trying to root kindle fire with Qemu Root I cannot because of one tiny problem, I can't install the Kindle fire ADB drivers.exe. Everytime I try to it says "The drivers were not installed properly, please install manually" it's really annoying because it is the only thing stopping me from rooting my Kindle which I really want to. Thanks in advance for any help you may have!

I am also having this problem.
Nobody seems to know the problem to this. Maybe all the drivers are outdated but I have tried countless links and they can't all be outdated can they?
What operating system are you guys on?

Try following instructions in this link:
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
Make sure you do the [android update adb] command. I've had to do that every time I've had to install drivers.
I FINALLY figured it out if your running windows 8

I need to root the KFHD 7 and i need too to know the way to instal the adb drivers in windows 8 , can somebody write how can we do ?
Thanks.
Here is the solution!
Put your cursor in the upper right hand corner of the screen and scroll down, then go t settins, change pc settings, then to general. From there go to advanced startup up at the bottom and click restart now. Then click troubleshoot, advanced settings, and the option that says to allowdriver signatures (I think it is in startup setting but I'm not sure because I've already done it then click restart and reinstall the drivers
For people with Windows 8:
I rooted my kindle using my laptop with Windows 8 / 32 bits.
I could not install adb drivers in my other laptop with Windows 8 / 64 bits , but in the 32 bits all was ok and I rooted in a few seconds.
And drivers install correctly in 32 bits .

So apply them manually. Find the device in "device manager" , it will stand out, ... right click and go from there. You will have to know where the driver is located on your machine.

So i have not rooted device and images missing from the first method how do i fix this and how do i get this device to root!
Thanks

Have adb drivers installed as well as latest Java. Then you use binary method and ur kindle will be slow also sluggish that's OK. Then you use qemu root method. You can find I t in the 7 inch kindle fire HD android development. Then run the qemuroot.bat. file in that archive and following the instructions. And after that is done, un plug kindle reboot and you have root! Make sure the app super user is installed after root.

[Q] Fire HD Unroot/Return to stock?

Hi,
I rooted my Kindle Fire HD. Installed Google Apps, somehow let Google Play update some of the original Kindle Apps too.
I find that it's pretty buggy and kind of slow. Is there anyway to take it back to the original firmware I tried just downloading the 7.2.3 update from Kindle and installing it via "Update your Kindle" but it did nothing, maybe because I'm already on 7.2.3.
Anyway I really only use it for comics and it seemed better before I started playing with it. Anyone got a guide for taking it back to stock?
Any one ? I want to do this to

[Q] Want to unroot my Kindle

Hi,
Brand new to this site so no idea what I'm doing but I'll explain my problem, and I am a bit of a n00b when it comes to technical speak so bear with me!
Rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" to get the Playstore and to disable the ads
Working well, but then I decided to get rid of automatic updates as whenever one came along, all my hard work was erased
Now I feel my Kindle is running slowly and I want to un-root all the work I did, and get it back to the way it was
I have performed a factory reset (probably a massive mistake!) and attempted to un-root it. But whenever I go on my Bin4ry program, and click to unroot, it says "Error: Device not found"
It comes up when I go into My Computer, and I have installed all necessary drivers, and enabled ADB...
I have tried to install the latest update for the Kindle Fire HD from the Amazon site as some people have said that worked, but I assume because I disabled automatic updates, it didn't work.
I am using Windows 7
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7"
So how can I unroot it? Please help me!

Use KFFA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 You can do about anything from that tool. Just don't try to install TWRP or 2nd bootloader from there.
Try this dude

Many Superuser apps include the 'unroot' function in their settings. If the one you installed doesn't have the setting, just install supersu or CWM's Superuser app from the market, boot it up, let it take over the su and then use that app to unroot. (Choose "Install", Do Not Choose "Recovery Install"! ;p)
The fact your Kindle Fire isn't recognized by your bin4ry tool is maybe because of your factory reset resetting the Debug over USB setting in your settings. Re-enabling that will probably make it visible again to Bin4ry, since Bin4ry uses ADB (Android Debugging Bridge).

[Q] Kindle Fire HD lags after root

I have rooted my kindle in 2 different ways. Both methods end up making the kindle fire barely usable.
Here is the first method I used: Youtube Video: "How to root kindle fire HD and turn it into a pure android tablet" (Can't post links)
My second method I used is a program called vroot.
How do I stop the lag without taking away the root?
I have factory reset the device 3 times now.
I don't want to do it again.
Thanks
I used Root Many Android. Everything works, no lag.
Ok, I fixed it

Do you mean how I fixed it. Well, I was tired of waiting for a answer so I just did a factory reset.
I was using Vroot. Kinguser was still there and I still had root access.
But now I have another problem.
I tried to install recovery mode on my kindle fire but it started going into an endless loop when I tried to access it.
When trying to access twrp?
