it took me literally a full day at home trying to figure this out, got very frustrating... but now im all happy.. can't stop playing with the kindle fire..

my problem was the Kindle fire drivers i used originally which did not recognize my kindle fire as the ADB COMPOSITE drive, but as a regular ADB Drive.. After downloading the kindle fire hd drivers from the android sdk it recognized my kindle fire as adb composite drive.

Qmenu ADB Driver Package

Raffo17 and Pecors,

So we are all on the same page, I left both of you copies of the software I am using. Download and extract to your DESKTOP both packages. The android_winusb has been slightly tweaked and make allow you both to communicate with your Kindle's.

Inside of the Qmenu folder is an executable named Kindle Fire ADB Drivers. Double click and install this package, then plug your Kindle back into USB, allow the driver to update. Then try Root MANY ANDROID!

Note: When you review Windows Device Manager, you should see 5 containers when the Kindle is plugged into USB:

Kindle Fire

> Android Composite ADB Interface

Portable Devices

> D:\ (the Kindle drive letter)

> Kindle

Does your Device Manager show these items? If no, what was installed by Windows?

ROOTEED!!!:laugh:

i followed the dagelo's advice here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035334&page=15

the only thing to do is to download the sdk and replace the adb.apk in the Bin4ary and Qemu folders!

then i follow the prokennexusa guide and now i have a rooted device!

thanks everybody for the help!

Got down to step 5 install Vending.apk and my KFHD7 says that it is a system app and do I want to replace it?

So do I want to replace it?

Thanks,

Vending.apk to /system/app

Rick,

It sounds like you had Google Play installed at one time, no worries. Answer YES to replacing Vending.apk, then do the upgrade,
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] TxDachshund:
Did a reinstall of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and then did a reinstall of Vending.apk. Now I can touch the Market Icon and it brings up the Google Play Terms of Service. There are no buttons/boxes to check/agree,,,ect.

If I touch the Google Play at the top then it takes me to the Play Google store. There I am able to sign-in and it appears that everything is working.

If I install Gplay.apk, it changes the Market to GPlay and does not work. Every time I touch Gplay the screen flashes and the Apps screen is redisplayed.

Don't think this is working as designed but looks like I can get to Play Google Store. Is the GPlay.apk bad? Is there a newer one? Or leave it as is?

So I got my kindle yesterday. 7.2.1 was installed. Tried rooting, On reboot, It updated. Now I have 7.2.3. Tired rooting via the QemuRoot and BinaryV17 as several links provided..

So firstly, Running Binary worked. "Restore" came up. I followed the instructions. It rebooted.

On running Qemuroot, Followed instructions, Entered 1, it rebooted. Lock screen came up with zero ads,

Step 2 came up with this;

Step 2 - Exploiting...

/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied

Rebooting...

Once your devices has finished restarting,

Press any key to continue . . .

It rebooted again. No ads on lock screen.

Then this...

Step 3 - Checking for access...

'find' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\Qemuroot>

I am lost as to what to do? Help!!!! Where did I go wrong? Anyone have a solution?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Root for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3

When the Kindle displayed "Restore" did you click on the Kindle screen to apply the requested restore? Maybe you missed this important step. If not, run everything again, first updating these utilities to the latest versions:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Ro...Bin4ry_v17.zip

Then follow these instructions again:

I suspect your Kindle Fire 7" HD is now running Software Version 7.2.3 (Device - About), correct?

Your problem "Device not Found" is either driver related or ADB Security issue. I assume you have ADB enabled under Security - Enable ADB? Also enable "Allow Installation of Applications" under the Device tab - this will allow installation of Google Play applications. If all OK, move onto the next step.

Next, as per the Qemu thread noted here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1893838 you will find a driver package named "Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers.zip", be sure to install the ADB driver package. Reboot the PC and next the Kindle.

As you noted, if you want to use Google Play, you must Root the device. Just to keep everything consolidated, I will give you a brief Rooting instructions which works for Software 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.

Root Step 1: Run Root MANY ANDROID! http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1886460. Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. When the Kindle asks to be Restored, CLICK on it (this installes the binary files).

Root Step 2: The Kindle will reboot and react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Proceed to Step 3.

Root Step 3: Run Qemu automated root http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1893838. Let this utility complete to the end.

Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.

You now have Root.

The following will link you to an updated version of GPLAY3.8.17.APK. All the Google Apps in the link below were tested and function without error.

Hi Guys!

I already rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7, then I started to install Google Market or Play, doesn't matter how you called it. By the way I think that I screwed up sth. Because when I'm tapping on Market it's working for a second and then crashing, i was trying to do sth with that but I can't. My problem seems to be same to the user up to me. I don't have any idea how to solve it.

My second question is, do I have to disable OTA or I can leave it like this and my root will stay with me?

My KFHD 7 is 7.2.2.3 version.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Frwycop:
Did it because of your post prokennexusa

Bought the KF HD on 12-19-12 v 7.2.1 and while setting up the wi fi, it updated to v7.2.3. I had a KF that I had previously rooted with info from this excellent site. I then searched this same site for instructions and spent 3 days having the same problem while following the multiple ways to root it with no avail, usually permission denied. This morning I uninstalled all drivers with youruninstaller, and all software that was installed in my D drive. Basically started from scratch as well as I did a factory reset on the KFHD, I enabled ADB and apps installation and nothing more. Rebooted KF and PC win 7. I downloaded everything to my desktop and installed drivers in C drive.

Installed KF drivers that are in post #2 and verify it in post #19 in this section (posted by prokennexus) :good:, After un-ziping everything on the desktop, I installed KF drivers with the KF not connected. I rebooted PC. I then connected KF to PC but it was not recognized and it didn't show in the computer. With the KF still attached, I re-installed the driver and waited until it was recognized by my PC.

After that i followed instructioins and it was smooth sailing, I just followed prokennexusa instructions with not a single problem. The most important thing that I found out is, TO BE PATIENT, wait for the KF to reboot and show in your PC as kindle.!!!!!

Thanks to this great site and all developers and everybody working behind the scenes, (I know some of them who lurk in the shadows) and peeps who take the time to tinkle with inanimated artifacts that make them come to life.

I am 47 but love to mess around with everything that can be taken apart and modified, either mechanically or electronically. I just love to make life easier for my family and have fun doing it. Thanks again to prokennexusa for us noobs to understand common English :laugh: and all people involved in this and to share their knowledge to the masses.

Remember, information is Knowledge, and knowledge is power.

The WWW is a benediction and a curse , same as 1 and 0.

Google Play Market Kindle 7" Software 7.2.3

Did you try the google_apps package above? Once you install the "Framework" which are really background services, you should be able to install the rest. The apps in this folder have been designed to be "sideloaded" into the Kindle Apps. Once you follow the above instructions, there should be no trouble sideloading the Google Apps. Note: You will not be able to directly install these apps through Google Play.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] mammolastan:
Howdy, I am following all the steps outlined by yourself and on other threads for this Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 .

My Kindle can be seen by my computer , and when I run adb devices, my Kindle serial number shows up with "device" listed after it.

When I run Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 ( as admin), this is what I see

However, the Kindle does not respond in any way.

Any thoughts?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Server Out of Date

I have seen this quite a bit over the last two weeks. This is normally caused by an Out of Date adb daemon. Above this response is my step-by-step instructions but more important is the downloads. Qemu and Root Many Android have been updated, that is, the adb daemon and API's are all of the latest revision.

Use my links to download the two utilities which include updated adb daemons.

Before you run these utilities, be sure to open Windows Task-manger - end any adb.exe processes running before running each utility.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] eloverton2:
I figured out that this is also a windows 7/driver conflict. I was getting those errors also (along with KFHD not showing under "adb devices"). I uninstalled the drivers then right clicked on the "Kindle Fire ADB drivers" file, set it to run in compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 2, and then ran the driver install as administrator. After rebooting the PC, I was able to ADB into the fire. I also found that running "cmd" as administrator (rather than just clicking on the batch files to execute), and navigating to the folder containing "RootQemu" and "RunMe" files resolved the ADB "preparing to start dameon" issues. Hope this helps.

NUBE warning! Had rooted my Kindle and all was well till 7.2.3 update. Attempt to re-root. I have actually achieved root, but there is no superuser and though I do not know if its related, I keep getting a message that google framework has stopped.

Menu and drop down menus gone after root

So I followed all the instructions to root my Kindle and now the menu bar on the bottom disappeared and the drop down menu on top is gone too so I cant get into the menu for a factory reset. All I can do is open my basic apps and then I cant go back to the homescreen because the menu bar is gone. Any help would be appreciated...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] rspin1:
Now apps just stop

Pretty sure I had all the updated files from the NUBE posts, so I just copied over the superuser.apk file reinstalled it, and superuser fired right up. When I installed the google files, that fixed the google framework issue. Google Play market works great, installed Go Lauchers without a hitch. all the apps that came with the Kindle (amazon stuff) work fine. Root explorer works fine. However when I try to use most any other app, the screen looks like its about to load then I get a box that says the application has stopped. I hit ok and back to the launcher. The only app that has given me a clue is ebay. It says there is a data access problem and that the user preference files on the device have been moved by the device manufacturer and are not accessable to the app. Says I need a factory reset?

It allows me to load and install apps but then they won't run, they just stop immediately. Could I have gooned something up while I was moving files around in system/app

any recommendations would be appreciated.

Fix Permissions by Stephen (Stericson)

Rspin1,

Let's first try to fix the permissions. Using Google Play, search for "Fix Permissions", it can be found

here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en

Go ahead and download it, then install it. I suspect you have a permissions issue.

If this utility does not run or fix the problem, move on to a Factory Restore, then when

you are fresh, attempt Root, Google Play and Go Launcher. Respond with the results.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Nupson,

Bummer! Do you have Root Explorer or ES File Explorer installed? Are you Rooted? If yes, open ES File Explorer or Root

Explorer, navigate to /system/app scroll down until you see Launcher.apk - click on Launcher.apk choose Install. Then reboot

by pressing the power down for 20 seconds, this performs a hard reset. Then hold the Volume Up and Down TOGETHER,

while you are holding these keys press the power button, release the power button within 3 seconds, continue to hold

the Volume Up and Down until the Kindle boots completely. You will be in safe mode. Do the bars appear?

I had nothing but problems trying to root KFHD on my laptop Windows 8, used another laptop with win 7 64bit OS and had much better luck. It's a pain, had a couple retries with the process but eventually got there, getting google play store and the rest was a piece of cake after root. I use ESFile explorer myself, always had good luck with it. The help here is tremendous.

succesful root KFHD 7 after auto OTA 7.3.0

ok guys.. HERE WE GO...VERY GOOD NO NEED TO RESET KFHD, WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

I SPENT MANY MANY WEEKS TRYING TO GIVE ALL THESE METHODS A TRY AFTER MY FIRST TIME ROOTING KFHD, WELL:

THE VERY GOOD ONLY WAY THEY WILL ALL WORK IS IF YOU START BY DELETING ON TASK MANAGER UNDER PROCESSES ALL FILES SAYING ABD.EXE.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE RUNNING ALL NEW VERSIONS OF PROPER DRIVERS.

I USED:

WIN 7 32 BITS, LATEST RUNME.BAT FILE , AND FINALLY FIRSTAIDE KINDLE SOFT.

IN THAT ORDER...:

DELETE ALL ABD.EXE PROCESSES.

RUNME BAT

FIRST AIDE TO DISABLE OTA UPDATES

THE GREATEST THING WAS THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULTS AND RE-ROOTED MY KFHD WITH 7.3.0, AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL.

I FOLLOW THE ALTERNATE METHOD...

AFTER MANY "PERMISSIONS DENIED" "NO DEVICE FOUND", GOT IT FINALLY TO WORK WITH THE DELETION OF THE ADB DRIVER WHILE RUNNIN AT THE BEGINING OF RUNME.BAT, SO IT GOT FINALLY DETECTED WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL....

WITH ALL THE DRIVERS THIS NICE DUDE PUT IN HERE.:
