Beautiful, thank you for the feedback.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jjlasso:
So i was having the same problems as you guys, and actually the problem was that for some reason the adp drivers were duplicate or something along those lines. Go to "device manager" on your control panel and find the kindle, expand it and delete the driver. Then unplug and plug the KF and what I did was download the driver using SDK Manager. Then I did the steps and it worked perfectly! Good luck to you all and i know how frustrating it is when it doesnt work!

I am on 7.2.3 and both rooting methods are failing with permission denied errors when trying to echo into local.prop.

Is there a workaround for this yet?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] urbannerdmaeio:
Ive attempted to root my girlfriends kindle fire hd a few times already and I keep coming across the same problem.

Whenever I attempt to download and install the ADB drivers, my pc running windows 7, says there was an error installing the drivers.

I have to attempt this on my lunch break at work, because I own a MAC at home, and its not possible to do it on there.

Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Driver Install

This is quite common, although I am finding the error to be erroneous.

Plug in your Kindle, watch closely you should see it installing the Android Composite ADB Interface

Go into your Windows Device Manager, you should now see Android Composite ADB Interface ?

If this driver is installed, move onto the Root instructions.

This is what happens...

(sorry cant post links yet)

and nothing pops up on the kindle for a reboot?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

is it 100% necessary to have SDK downloaded to do this?

ive rebooted my kindle and pc, redownloaded the root tools and tried it again

now what happens is after running RunMe.bat it SHOULD pop up the restore thing on my kindle but nothing happens

it just reads "check if i should run in normal mode or special mode blah blah blah please connect ur device with usb debugging" and it

just stays there
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
CMD returned error "permission denied"

Very common error. I just created a simple version of Rooting the Kindle. Follow these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

If you follow the instructions step-by-step, you will not see this error. DO NOT install the SDK unless you plan to do Android development.

Hi All,

Windows 7 Security Issue

Yes, this is a known issue in Windows 7. When they designed Windows 7 they setup the default Command prompt to "User Level", not the default "Administrative Level" found in default XP Install. The worst part of it all? No where are you able to tell there is a problem until you figure it out by mistake or through trial and error.

Good job for getting it done!

Kindle Fire HD 7" 7.2.3

Hello !

I'm French and I live in France but I bought My Kindle Fire HD 7" in United States last week. So, I turned it in French with my french account (and I access the french Amazon shop).

Today, it's not rooted yet and it updated to 7.2.3 version.

Do you think this method will work for me? Will I be able to turn it in french to access the french services?

Also, I don't manage to find the risks of rooting this device.

Thank you all, I am a noob in using (and rooting) Android Tablet!

ADB Communication Issues

We have seen this problem a lot with the older utilities. If you use our download links to these utilities

they include updated adb.exe daemons. You may use our utilities, this may solve your issue.

Also, verify you have enabled ADB on the Kindle.

Verify the Windows device manager shows Android ADB Composite Interface.

If all is well and you are using our Utilities then perform a Factory Reset.

Immediately after the Kindle Reboots go into Security and Enable ADB, then before you

do anything else to the Kindle execute the utilities.

follow the guides and like I said, if something does go wrong we will

Yes and no. We have seen limited success when using our utilities

through a PC Emulator. Be sure you download the software through

our links. All our software uses the latest adb daemons. These updates

are critical when running the Utilities through a PC Emulator. If you

have to use an Emulator be sure to use Windows XP, not 7 or 8.

Jeremy_fr,

You may use whatever method you like. We Root Android devices and do Android

development for a living, so our Noob Series uses the latest versions of adb

available. If you get stuck, the problem 90% of the time is an outdated adb

daemon, this I can assure you. We respond to over 60 Threads a day, so have

seen a lot regarding this topic. If you use our steps, we can guarantee

successful rooting plus we offer free unlimited support. I was just trying

to make it easy for you, that is all. Again use whatever method makes

you comfortable. We will be here for you no matter what method you

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

Krissy007,

I am really sorry for the delay, this was suppose to be a day off, well 12 hours latter I am still responding to

questions. Regarding YOUR little problem. When you run Binaryv17, does the Kindle ask to be Restored?

Do you press "Restore"? If no, this is your problem, you must answer to "Restore" on the Kindle. If you DO

click on "Restore" and the Kindle reboots, acts slowly, then we probably have a driver issue. What is your

platform? Windows XP, 7 or 8? When you look in the Windows Device Manager do you see Android Composite

ADB Interface? If no, this is your problem and the driver needs to be manually installed. I think your problem

may be the way you are executing RunMe.bat. Do you type in RunMe.bat or do you execute it by clicking

the mouse on RunMe.bat? BE SURE YOU ARE USING OUR UTILITIES, since we upgraded the adb.exe

daemons. If not, see my link below, click on How to: Root the Kindle Fire HD 7" or 2 Noob (Simple) Edition.

Follow my steps closely. If all else fails, send me a PM with your phone number and time range to call,

we offer free unlimited to support to everyone in the XDA Community, we will call you and walk you through

the steps over the phone.

Did you obtain the software through our links? If you did not, go to our Root Instructions

very different than the original version. Once we are sure you are running the latest version

we modified the original Root MANY ANDROID!

The key is to open a Command Window pointing to the adb binary in the system-tools folder.

I do have to say, you can Root the Kindle on the MAC but you really need to know command

As I have read some of the people trying this are having trouble with their adb, I had troubles to, so something that may help is open cmd, and go to your directory with all your root stuff and kill adb(adb kill-server), may need to run server,again(adb start-server)) if you did it right you will notice if you run adb devices it should pause and look forthem again,and also make sure that the ini file is in the right place (assuming you needed it). And make sure your pc sees it as a media drive or something, also be sure it is plugged in.
