Hi,
I just noticed that I have a Kindle Fire 2 and not the normal Kindle Fire. So at this moment it is only possible to root it, or? I wanted to install Cyanogenmod on the Fire, but it seems there is no version for the Fire 2 at the moment.
So am I right that the root just enables my Fire to install Apps from the Google Play Store?
Hi,
root enables superuser.
with superuser you can use a root file manager manipulate some of the system directorys to install the Play store etc.
not sure if the kindle fire 2 has like the kindle fire hd a encrypted bootloader...
IF the Bootloader is encrypted you cant (yet) install different roms like cyanogenmod. Then you are stuck with the rom from amazon, unless the encryption is cracked / bypassed.
you should be able install a different launcher though, and have 'normal' looking tablet. ( Works for the HD at least, again not sure about the 2 )
I bought my KF a week ago, on the basis that I would be able to root it seeing the variety of threads of successful roots. I bought the Non-HD 2nd Gen. My issue is that whilst my computer is able to recognise the Kindle Fire, ADB devices show nothing connected (Yes, the KF is in debug mode in Settings). I have installed the correct ADB drivers countless times, I have even tried to do it on 3 different computers, and none of them are able to recognise the KF in ADB. (BTW, I have been doing the QemuRoot method.)
I was wondering if you are able to post any suggestions? I have tried it on Windows 7 32bit and Windows XP 32bit. Thank you.
According to the Amazon ADB Guide...
Windows users only: If you previously connected your device to your computer without first enabling ADB, you will need to force a re-installation of the driver. See the Known Issues section for instructions on how to remove and re-install the device driver.

This was my initial issue.
So I did the uninstall according to their steps.. then enabled ADB on the KF.
Then plugged it back in and it shows KF as an unknown device.
Then I got the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 drivers from the Android SDK and install them. Now my KF is seen by ADB.
I've attached a link to the drivers

Thanks for the link to the Amazon page. I did uninstall the drivers the way Amazon reccommends, and install the 8.9 drivers, that didn't work. So I downloaded the android SDK, and used the Kindle drivers which came alond with the SDK, and that finally worked. The odd thing is that ADB now recognises my device as ADB, but device manager doesn't, but that's not a problem, at least now I'm rooted on 10.2.1. (Wifi is off on my Kindle, so I do not get an OTA update to 10.2.3)
Since you still have 10.2.1 can you pull some system images for us who have 10.2.3 and lost root?

Yes, I could do that. I'd need detailed explanation on how to do it though, as I'm not experienced when it comes to Android.
I sent you a pm. If you have root and adb it should be straight forward.

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

Alright so I've tried all the methods I've found on here so far and even searched google for some and non of them are working. IDK if I don't have the drivers installed properly or what. Every time I try to use the Runme.bat it runs but the kindle doesn't restart or anything. Has anyone found a way to root this version 7.3.0?
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!
