I am trying to Root my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 according to the post by mdblaze '[ROOT]Kindle Fire HD 8.9'. I followed carefully to the post of Bin4ry (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) except that I replace the adb.exe in the stuff folder with the adb.exe from 'adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools\' otherwise the device cannot be detected when I ran '\stuff\adb devices'. All the processes were passed and I was able to see SuperSU. I then tried to get ES file explorer from Amazon store, but after clicking on 'get app', an error occurred. The error pop out actually for any applications in the Amazon store. Other function of my kindle seemed to be fine. I have no clues whether I did something wrong or how to fix this situation. Could anyone kindly give me some hint?
Deregister from Amazon and resign in, that has been fixing a few issues people had.
I know most of you have answered these questions before, but...
I have tried all the tools, tutorials, and step by step (youre an idiot) guides to root my Fire HD. I can't get it to work, I keep getting the "daemon started successfully" prompt on Qemu root tool, permission denied, and not valid file on the Adb cmd screen. Please help!!! I already have about 12 hours into trying to get this done and I can't and won't stop until I get it done.
Thanks in advance,
Do you have superuser installed? Can you install es file explorer?
So I have run into several problems using several different methods, none of which have worked properly and I really need some help. Now, I am by no means stupid when it comes to computer stuff but I am not a programmer nor any sort of software engineer. I understand much of the command line stuff and some simple code but I don't understand why nothing I have tried is working. So let me list the problems I've run into in my attempts to root my KFHD 7":
Root Many Android:
I am using v28 (which I believe is the latest and is reported to work on my device hardware and software).
I am unable to run the batch file as an administrator which I believe is the problem that results in the "permission denied" errors when trying to push the packages like superuser and busybox.
I am certain I have followed the tutorial to the letter so I don't know where I am going wrong. I can open the command window as an admin and cd to the C:\Root and run the batch but that doesn't fix the permissions errors.
Qemu:
I am using the latest version.
I select option 1 to root and it runs through the processes but nothing works and it just goes through several reboots so I am assuming it is running into the same issues as RMA, above.
KFFirstAide:
I am using the 64 bit as per my system. I run through option 21 to root my device using method 2 (Preferred).
It shows some success in that I can see the apps BusyBox Installer and Root Checker, however it does not push the rest of the packages necessary and this is evident by when it says I should receive a SuperSU or SuperUser popup, nothing happens and so the rest fails, though it says the root check passes in the final step.
So now I ask, is there a better way or something I am doing wrong with my Kindle Fire HD 7" 7.3.1?
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I'm new here, and I've been trying for the past few hours to root my Kindle Fire HD 7" so I can install a CM10.1 ROM and turn it into a google tablet. I've been searching the web for information, and I kept getting directed here so I decided I might as well join.
Anyway it seems the one method that works is the Bin4ry one, and I started following the instructions given on this site and others. However when I installed the driver, it said the installation was successful but when I clicked "Finish" a window popped up and told me the driver didn't install properly. Then I tried to execute the "Run Me" file, but it gave me this:
"Please connect device with enabled USB-debugging to your computer.
the system cannot find the path specified
doing a backup first, please confirm this on your device
the system cannot find the path specified
Done!"
Nothing happens on the Kindle Fire. But I checked the Device Manager, after I downloaded and installed a driver linked in a thread on this forum, it said the Kindle was USB-enabled interface. Anyone have any idea what the problem is, here? Thanks
Ok did you enable usb-debugging in the kindle's security settings? If you have try opening a command prompt and CD into the directory of the adb command in binary's root tool, run adb devices and see if the kindle is listed.

Yep, USB-debugging is enabled. It's the same thing as enabling ADB, right? This is what I've done thus far. I'm running Windows 8, so I've disabled driver signature enforcement, and also installed the drivers. I've checked Device Manager---the system has recognized the Kindle as a Google Android ADB interface, and if I check adb devices in cmd prompt, the serial number of my Kindle is listed. Also created an adb_usb.ini file according to these instructions:
"open adb_usb.ini with notepad
(add on one line each!)
0x1949
0x006
save file."
The problem now is not that nothing happens on the Kindle when I run the root tool, I do get the option to restore data but it prompts me to enter a data encryption password. I researched this and a techleopard article said to enter my Amazon password, which I did but nothing happens. The data restore options (Restore or Do Not Restore) just grey out and the root tool just says "Running" for ever and ever. Tried some other root tools such as Quemp and Kindle Fire Utility, but neither worked and besides the more recent information I've seen have Bin4ry's as the only one that works on 7.4.6 which is the OS I am using.
EDIT: Okay, tried it again and for some reason this time the root tool ran successfully. I did a power reset, and ran a RootChecker, and it says it's rooted but I can't find the SuperUser app (the checker also could not find it). Was the root still successful?
Probably though I am throwing a guess that only the such binary is installed, look in the /system/xbin folder and see if the such binary is there, if you want to to retry the process just delete that file. I was going to mention the encryption password is whatever your lock screen code is set to.
BTW don't ever use kfu to try to root your kindle, it will hard brick it. Its designed only for kf1's.

Heh, actually after a LOT of messing around, and perusing several articles across the web and on xda, I've got it working. KFU didn't brick anything, just didn't work. My only regret is that I now can't access the HD quality movies I'd bought from Amazon because Amazon only allows downloading to the Kindle and the Kindle only, and my internet isn't fast enough to stream HD.
I am getting the error Provisioning Fail on my Tate-PVT-08 KFHD7 after a failed restore using KF First Aide. I can still get into fastboot mode, but KFFA and KFHD-SRT have no effect on the provisioning fail error. I cannot get into TWRP or past the error at all.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Bump.
Anyone seen this problem?
You have environmental paths set correctly
Sent from my Kindle Fire HD 7 running PAC-man
I can't find anything on this. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
NVM - you mean in Computer Adv Properties...
Checking, but I thought if I used the .bat for KFFA, it would automatically use the adb.exe or fastboot.exe in that directory.
No change after verifying environmental path is correct.
