hello,
is it possible to install android 4.1 on a kindle fire 2.
i tried the kfu utility, it says ADBnline, but boot status keeps unknown.
so i am not able to root it.
greetings,
evert-jan
There hasn't been a kindle fire utility made especially for the new kindle fire so that explains why you might be running into errors. Try using it again. Do you have the newest version.

Yes i tried the latest version. No luck
Take care!
I may take your Kindle Fire 2 into brick!
Kindle Fire 2nd gen is so different from 1st gen!

As the post said before DO NOT USE KINDLE FIRE UTILITY FOR KF2. IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!!!! You're lucky you didn't have the right drivers as they are different from the ones in the KFU, or you would have definitely bricked your device.
You can root the KF2, Its been possible since a week after it came out-

Do we have a wiki for the fire HD/fire2 yet? Just curious because I have had some free time lately.

Did you ever care to look trough the current forum posts? You are asking questions discussed here for hundreds times. Please, make a small effort to educate yourself before asking anything.

Hi Timurg,
Sorry, but i did look at the forums. The only thing i found was the KFU (for the kindle fire 1st gen) and a rooting tool for the Kindle Fire HD.
So i understand that the rooting tool for the Kindle HD is also usable for the Kinle 2nd gen?

Yes the root tool does work for KF2, most things that have worked for the HD will work for KF2. That said not everything that works for the HD will work for the KF2 as they do have slightly different software.
Not to be a **** but, the posts above are right everything you have asked about is in these forums, you just have to dig a little deeper.
This thread will help you with the Play store-

As for running custom roms, no, its close but not yet. The closest thing to android feel you're gonna get is using an alternate launcher-

Hello,
i bought the kindle fire HD 3rd gen from 2013. I rooted it, but the update to OS 4.5.5 removed the root permissions. Is there still a way to root it or do I have to downgrade it? If I have to, how can I do it? I only found tutorials for other devices or OS.
You're in the wrong forum. Try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd
But I don't have the HD 6 or 7, just the HD-Version without cam and with dual-core-processor.
This forum is for the $50 7-inch 2015 (5th gen) fire tablet.

I agree. I have a 4th generation as well. I've been rooting devices for years but I can't seem to track down anything for the 4th edition. Any help would be appreciated.
