Alright guys, prepare to hate the noob. I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm just ignorant. I want to learn but I'm clueless as where to start. I'm trying to root my kindle fire HD 8.9 on version 8.1.4. Now what do I do? I see the post at the beginning of this thread, but i have no clue if that will work on 8.1.4. Please help?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] kittyworld:
^ i have the same machine, same firmware as yours. just do exactly as the instruction says. except after you have done w/ the Bin4Fry thing check yoru app section to verify that SuperSU is installed. if super user is installed then you are rooted. if it's not, you are not properly rooted. good luck.

ADB Access to Fire HD 8.9

Make sure you have your ADB Debugging activated... (swipe finger down from the top.. then hit "more" then "security".. then enable ADB. That SHOULD solve that issue for you. Good luck!

I did the same, but when I got to the terminal steps, BOTH commands entered were greeted by a "file or location not found" error, suggesting that my client's HD is fairly well locked down...

hi everyone!

I have already installed the adb driver.

Android ADB interface can be found in device manager.

When I use command "adb devices" in CMD window it list nothing device.

Unfortunately, I cant root my HD 8.9

roadshow1997,

We have seen this in Windows Vista and 7. What operating system do you use? Sounds like the device driver

is not installed properly. When you look inside the device Manager in Windows by Right Hand Mouse click on

the Computer Icon, choose Properties, the select Device Manager. Do you see Android ADB Composite

Device? If no, the driver needs to be reinstalled. Please review our driver install video here:

Finally, I installed driver properly.

I use Bin4ry root my kindle .When the kindle reboot again it runs very very slowly like frozen.

roadshow1997,

Since we know the Rooting process is difficult, we made sure to include ChainFireDD Superuser

with the firmware update, so after you flash fresh firmware, you have a fresh Rooted System.

So, yes you will have Root after updating the Firmware on all 3 devices.

rooting issue

i'm getting the attached error when i attempt this root method. I can see the internal memory through Win7, but it sees it as Kindle, rather than a drive (with a ltter assigned). Ive installed the sdk, and the kindle drivers, so I'm not sure where i went wrong. btw, this is my first tablet root, but I've been rooting phones for a few years, and never ran into any issues with any of the methods on this site.

any assistance is greatly appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gunnyman:
Choose option 2 other.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SevnSins:
I tried both methods. I tried 2 first and then tried 1 when it didn't work. Seems there's a driver issue or something. I remember it showing as a removable device (like a flash drive), and not as device (like a camera).

Hopefully someone can help me.

My KindleHD 8.9 is on 8.1.4

I was able to get the device to come up in adb

ran the runme.bat

Selected 2

Then 1 to root

however nothing pops up on my kindle in regards to Restore My Data

I have 3rd party and adb enabled. I'm running Windows 7 and can explore the device in windows.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Slimepuppy:
SevnSins, I just went through this with Windows 7 and a KF HD 7" and KF HD 8.9" as well - welcome to the fun! :)

You'll need an 'elevated command prompt' - an administrator window rather than a regular user command window. Press 'start', then type CMD into the search box - but do not press enter/return. Once the cmd.exe option appears at the top of the list, right click and select "run as administrator"

Then you'll have to change directory into your utility folder from there to run the two rooting tools. If any of your folders has spaces in the name, surround the directory name in double quotes: cd c:/users/SevnSins/Desktop/"Folder Name With Spaces"

For the driver, have you installed an ADB driver for the Kindle? If so, you'll have to delete the regular Kindle driver so Windows can find the correct ADB driver. To do that, press start, then right click on Computer, left click on Manage. On the left side of the "computer management" windows, you'll left click on Device Manager. In the list of devices on the right side, run down to your Kindle. Right click the Kindle and select 'uninstall' to remove the driver. This won't remove the driver from the computer, it'll just disconnect it from the Kindle. Unplug the Kindle, then connect it again. This time around the computer should detect the Kindle and load a driver for a ADB Device.

Good luck!

DoC - all the answers are here but they're scattered in a number of threads. This step-by-step works great, however:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

The two critical things that we have to do on Windows 7 that others don't have to worry about is to make sure we're running an 'elevated command prompt' - an 'administrator command prompt': press start, then search for cmd but don't press enter. When cmd.exe appears, right click and run as administrator. We cannot use the instructions that say to shift-right click 'open command prompt here' - we must open the elevated command prompt separately and then navigate to the Root Many Android or qmenu folders manually.

The second thing we have to manage manually is the driver for the Kindle. Windows loads one driver when we connect the Kindle with ADB turned off - the Kindle appears like a memory stick/thumb drive. We have to navigate to devices and remove that driver. When we connect the Kindle with ADB turned on, Windows will load the correct driver and the Kindle will appear as a 'composite ADB device"

Skip over to Proconnexusa's thread and follow the list - it works perfectly!

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] zildjian4life218:
Hey everyone,

This is my first post on xda though I have been a frequent reader of articles and have always had good luck with getting issues resolved here. I too have a kindle fire hd 8.9 with version 8.1.4_user_1413620. Using this thread I was able to overcome my issues with running the Runme.bat in cmd. I first had to run as administrator and that fixed my original issue. I also had to fix the system enviromental variable and I was finally able to get the batch script to run. Unfortunately it seems like it prints out a bunch of errors and now when I reboot the kindle it doesn't launch any videos and I can not get escalated root privileges with es explorer. I get an error, "Sorry, test failed. Cannot run this feature on your phone" when I click root explorer. Is there any way I can dig into this deeper and do some further diagnostics? I just want google play so I can put real android apps on this....... I probably should have just bought a nexus.

Can anyone help me dig deeper into this?

Thanks for your time!

Shane
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] zildjian4life218:
Thank you so much! I found a couple issues I had. First I edited the PATH variable for myself not the system variable. Also the tutorial I found said to select option 2 under the Runme.bat file. Either way I know have successful root access and can verify that with the root check app you provided.

I am having an issue getting google play to work. I was following the post on this forum on how to do it and I installed the framework and moved vending to /system/app and changed the permissions. After it says it installs I go to register my account and it says, "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." The credentials are correct and I have even tried just creating a new account.

Any ideas? Ill keep looking on other forum posts to see if anyone else has had this issue.

Thanks again for the detailed setup.

EDIT: Nevermind I restarted the kindle and it registered fine. Thanks!!

How to Root The Kindle Fire 8.9" - Follow Up - Backup

zildjian4life218,

I am glad you figured out to reboot the Kindle Fire HD 8.9". You can use Option1 or 2 with the 8.9" Kindle either one will Root the Kindle HD 8.9". Yes, the issue you had: "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." is due to the Google Services Framework not starting. When you reboot, the Framework starts and establishes a SSL connection to Google Cloud which in turn allows you to login. The next step, if interested is to install Google Apps, here is a link to our tutorial:
