Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

stefanescupatronu,

When Root is installed on the Kindle, two files are installed:

1. Superuser.apk application

2. su binary

The Superuser application can be found in /system/app and the su binary can be found in the /system/xbin - the application we like to use to test Root is called Root Checker Basic. We have attached a copy of Root Checker Basic to this response. Please let us know if you need anything else.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stefanescupatronu:
thank you for all information received from you was helpful. I come up with a proposal: why not attach screenshot with root checker at the beginning of the topic? many members you ease the situation for a successful root. thank you so much for your time and I hope to be wiser

Cupidhunters,

Yes, we remember you. There is something wrong with Mac's lately, the Root Many Android software does not work very well on Mac's - we are exploring a new package until the find the solution.

We are so glad to hear you were able to Root the Kindle since we were wondering where you stood with the process.

Thank you for taking the time to post an update.:good:

[HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

stefanescupatronu,

The sudden Kindle Fire freezing is not normal, how many times has this happened to you?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] MadJoe:
This still didn't work. I've tried it several times, and I still get nothing from adb. Windows sees the Kindle perfectly, I run a cmd prompt as administrator and manually navigate to the Bin4ry folder, still nothing. I manually navigate to the Qmenu folder and kill server, start server, devices, still nothing. I've installed/uninstalled the drivers so many times I can do it in my sleep. I've tried moving the two folders to the root of my C: and running it there, I've tried Windows 8 pro and Windows 7 on two machines, still nothing. I've changed cables, I've changed USB ports. I've restarted my computer a thousand times, I've rebooted the Fire HD almost as much. I've followed every one of these tuts on rooting the HD on XDA and none seem to work for me. And just to reiterate; yes, install from unknown devices and adb are both enabled on my Fire HD. I've checked several times, I've unchecked them and the rechecked them several times.

It's crazy, because I've used adb to root/mess with my Galaxy S, my wife's Galaxy S, my Kindle Fire, my wife's Kindle Fire, my One S, and my wife's Galaxy S2 with no problem (all in that order). The Fire HD simply refuses to play nice. The one difference is I've switched to an SSD Local/System disk and am dual booting 7 Ultimate and 8 Pro on the computer I previously used to root my devices, but that shouldn't matter.

Sorry for the rant, it's not directed at you, or anyone in particular, it's my Kindle Fire HD. I want to choke it, but it hurts my hands when I try. And it's so pretty I feel bad being mean to it. If anyone had a last ditch effort suggestion for me, I'd be extremely grateful to hear (read) it, even if it doesn't work.

Thanks.

When running RootQemu.bat I encountered several errors but still was told I had been given root access. Can you confirm whether this means I have root access or has something gone wrong? Attached are the two errors and the success message.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] los911:
Guys, great tut and thank you.

Just want to make sure I did the right thing ... after following all steps. I see no difference in the OS. Just that I am able to open up super SU. but all other amazon things keep bugging me to register etc.

So yeah, was this the end result and flashing is what I do next?

Hi MadJoe, I'm having the same issues. Installed drivers attached to the thread, but still adb-devices is not showing my kindle :( If you find a solution please share, so I can try it as well! Thanks

P.S: What OS version is your Kindle on? Mine is on "7.2.3_" not sure if this is relevant but it might be? You can check at Settings/Device/About
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] urbannerdmaeio:
im sorry but i am not too familiar with how the cd command works, is there any way you can show me an example of what i need to type in the cmd prompt if the files are on my desktop like it reads below

C:\Users\GRAPHIC-MARIO\Desktop\Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17

ok i think i figured out how to use CD

ran cmd promt as administrator

typed in <DIR> then CD Desktop, then CD Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 then typed in RunMe.Bat and it should work right?

ok i tried this, and it just stays at *daemon started successfully* and nothing changes

-_______________- cmon now.

I registered for the forum just to say thanks! I received a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas and immediately set about trying to root - your guide was clear, simple and most importantly worked!

I have worked my way through all of your guides and now have Google Play installed and a bunch of launchers installed. Thanks for taking the time to put these guides together.

ADB Communication Issues

Sorry for the delay, I was up late last night.

Excuse me if we already performed these steps, I just need to be sure.

Drop to the Administrative Prompt, navigate to the Qemu folder

Type the following and respond with the results:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

The main part, does it display the Kindle Serial Number?

Are you absolutely sure you enabled ADB under Security on the Kindle? Did you allow "Installation of Applications" under Device?

What is the date and time of the adb.exe daemon in the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 Stuff Folder? How about the date and time of the adb.exe daemon in the Qemu folder?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Test Root Access

Macalester,

If you go into /Apps do you see Superuser?

If yes, click on Superuser and see if it opens?

I have attached a simple Superuser Checker utility. Download it and test the Superuser Account.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Jayj0ka:
I was also having tons of trouble with this so I started to try alternate ways. I make sure you run abd devices to see that your device is there. This is what helped for me I too thought it was impossible. But I had all the files in the same directory on my c drive and that is what finally got the job done. Try looking at revkyles tutorial on YouTube.

ADB Communication Issues

just as you stated before 11/5/12 at 11:06am for both[/QUOTE]

Wow, this is an odd one. Since everything looks good, it has to be a ADB Conduit problem.

Did you take a look at the RevTv Video on installing ADB? Do you have any security software installed that may be blocking ADB?

Let's focus on getting ADB Installed Manually, this has to be the problem. Take a peek at the video.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] MadJoe:
I've officially tried this, and failed, on:

Win 8 Pro

Win 7 Pro

Win 7 Ult

Win XP Pro

I've attached the latest attempts results. Always the same.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Communication Issues

Yes, it all appears OK. The adb daemon is a very simple low overhead daemon that works 99% of the time.

The 1% failure has been resolved by:

1) Removing and Reinstalling ADB drivers Manually - using the usb_driver folder

2) Installing Windows XP Virtual Workstation, using this image to Root the Kindle

3) Updating the adb daemon (you already did this)

Even though the driver appears to have installed correctly, it must be the problem. We use these very same

utilities you have and root over 20 Kindles each day without trouble. We are using Pesky Windows 8 which is

worse than 7 when it comes to security restraints.

The other option is send you Kindle to me, I will Root it, Install Google Apps, create a backup script and install Go Launcher HD for a small

donation to our company.

I'm also having the same issue that a couple of people here are having. I assume it's the 'wrong datestamp ADB' issue, but the dropbox links all 404 now. Can someone reupload the files to a hosting site that isn't a bag of ****?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Macalester:
Hi, I've downloaded the apk file but I can't run it on my computer and don't know where to put it to run it on my kindle?

Dropbox Upgraded

All the links are back online.

Sorry for the outage. What do you expect for a free service. I just upgraded the account to the Business Team version which has unlimited

traffic ($799 Year for 1TB). I do not want anyone to experience another outage, so the investment was worth it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stefanescupatronu:
about an hour of operation is blocked twice. but I installed superuser and super su again and now it works perfectly, probably not installed correctly or installation order was not correct and perhaps because of it to be blocked @ prokennexusa thank you very much

Root Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat.

Root Step 5: Find the RunMe Shortcut on your desktop, select it by left mouse click over the icon, then while on the icon choose Right Hand mouse click, select Properties.

Root Step 6: This will display the RunMe properties. Select the General Tab, change the top name to KF First Aide. Then click on the Shortcut tab, click on Advanced. Check 'Run as Administrator', click OK, then click Apply, then click OK. All windows should be closed.

Root Step 7: Double Mouse Click the new Icon named KF First Aide. You may be presented with a security window, just click Yes.

Root Step 10: Please check the Kindle under More + > Security - make sure ADB is ON. Leave it disconnected from USB.

Root Step 11: Launch Kindle Fire First Aide, if the ADB Driver is not installed, use Option 12 to Install the ADB Driver

Root Step 12: Make sure the Kindle is turned ON, plugged into the Computer USB and ready. Select Option 15 to Root the Kindle. If Option 15 fails to Root the Kindle, use Option 16.

Root Step 13: That is it! The Kindle now has Root, you may close the software.

:eek: I disabled OTA updated followed by instructions in OP but after I reboot kindle it updated to new version and I had to root it again. Does anyone know how to disable OTA updates permanently?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilentlyScreaming:
Re blocking OTA Amazon updates, another option to try is installing DroidWall, and then only tick the applications you specifically want to allow access to the internet.

FWIW, be careful... I allowed Google Play app, forgot all about the firewall TBH, then wondered why updates were failing. Other services must be enabled I'm assuming. HOWEVER, one thing to consider is that droidwall may not be 100% effective - Google Play based app updates would sometimes get ~700kb downloaded before they failed.

adb server out of date - killing

Many thanks for all your work and help! This KF First Aide tool looks amazing, though I couldn't get it to work for me. Every time I tried to perform any action, I got the "adb server out of date" error. I tried updating the adb files to the ones dated 12/28, but no luck. I've followed every step in the guide, so I don't know what else to do, maybe I'm just too noob for the noob guide.

Though I did manage to root my wife's KF2 with another guide and then used the manual options in your google play, disable OTA, and go launcher guides to turn it into a pretty awesome tablet. So thanks again!

Can't root kindle fire hd 8.9 with options 15 or 16

I've tried both options. (15) Tells me that /system/bin/su is not found, and while 16 does reboot my kindle into fastboot mode (the kindle screen literally displays 'fastboot' on the screen), nothing happens after that. The only options I see available in (Fastboot) mode are to restore the kindle, among others, and nothing along the lines of "root the kindle", etc.

Perhaps I need superuser/su pre-installed? It appears I would first need root before doing that.

I'll be trying the manual method using ROOT MANY ANDROID later today.
