I can't get this to work no matter what I try. I've done everything the post said to do but when I open the RunMe.bat it always gets stuck on daemon started successfully. I've installed every adb on the post and kept reinstalling.... I'm at my wits end.

I'm using Windows 7 64x

I have the Kindle Fire HD

It says I have the Android Composite ADB Interface and that it's working properly.

I don't have any trouble moving things to and from the Kindle.

after root,what do we do ? I am confused ……
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] meddle70:
Okay, I decided to re-root due to laggy performance due to downloading a million apps lol. I factory restored, and it looks like it kept some files I transferred over by file explorer with the restore.

Now I cant reroot because its only saying its a read only file system. I followed the guide thorougly and ADB works fine, but it cant push any of the files with the programs due to Permission being denied.

Would I have to use a factory cable to fix everything? I don't mind doing this.

I have a strange behaviour of my KFHD7, and i thought to post here, because this guide helped me to unroot it 2 weeks ago.

I use Ex launcher hd, but i have this issue with ex launcher go and the stock environment.

The upper bar, the one with "My Kindle", the thin black bar with notifications, started act weird.

Yesterday it kept disappearing, along with the background and riappeared after a while, as if there something that forces it to close.

It's annoying, because i can't get notification and all the shortcuts for brightness, wifi and so on.

Today seems ok, but i would like to have a stable environment...

OTA updates are off, thanks to your guides, except for kindle applications.

In case this issue continue, how can i reset all the kindle, obviously keeping the root?

SDK manager installation has changed?

I've reformatted my computer since I last rooted my Kindle, and I now need to root it again because I was having some weird issue where every app would crash- - I was basically stuck on the Go launcher home screen. Fortunately a factory reset worked.

Anyway, I went to reinstall the Android SDK, but it seems like the process has completely changed since I last installed it. You basically download a folder full of tools, instead of an installation manager that sets it up for you. I had to google around to figure out how to get the SDK Manager to open. Apparently my Java RTE wasn't specified in the system path.

The OP might want to reflect these changes -- not sure when Google made the switch.

Thanks for all your help in these series!

Step 7

How do you do step 7 and run it with daemon because when I installed superuser.apk after doing everything else and tried using root check it said no it hadn't detected root
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] AJThePwnapple:
Wow, that's odd, I didn't even need Qemu, it rooted completely with Root many android.

I see SuperSU and verified it by granting ES File Manager root access, along with testing suchecker.

Can that happen?

How to Root Kindle Fire HD and 2 - This Method Approve for All

Nowthenn,

We were down for the last week, so I apologize for the delay. The Factory USB Cable is a special cable with 2 pins shorted. Having said this, the original cable included with the Kindle is very different than the Factory USB Cable. If you would like to order one, send us a PM. They are also available from Amazon, so whatever you prefer, just let us know if we can help you. Yes, this method work great on Software 7.2.x, it is by far the easiest to Root over 7.1.x.:good:

Root Kindle Fire HD and 2

fairplay89,

Sorry for the delay, we have been down. First you want to make sure ADB is communicating by running the following tests while you are in the Qemu folder:

1. Drop to an Administrative DOS prompt within the Qemu folder and type in the following pressing Enter after each command:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

Then we need to look in Device Manager in Windows, do you see "Android ADB Interface"? If yes, move on. Next we need to make sure you have allowed installation of Programs on the Kindle under Security. If this checks out, then we move on to the first utility. When you run Root MANY ANDROID do you see "Restore All" on the Kindle? Do you press Restore All? Does the Kindle reboot and act odd, if No stop here. Let's make sure you have the Path Statement in Windows. Drop to a Command Prompt and enter the following Command:

ping 4.2.2.2

What happened when you executed the above command? Let's stop here until we see your response.

How to Root Kindle Fire HD and 2 - This Method Approve for All

jmstrat,

First let me apologize for the delay, our systems were knocked down by a serious hardware failure. Anyway, yes we are producing YouTube videos as well as producing what we will call Noob Express Series which will be streamlined versions of these methods. If you prefer, we will root it for $35 plus shipping and tax. You may ship it to:

The Noob Series dba Xerocomm, Inc.

Attention: Chris Bryant

1684 Northstar Drive

Petaluma, CA 94954

(707) 774-5923

When we return the Kindle to you, you will have a custom Launcher, Google Play Store, MX Video Player and Google Apps preinstalled.

On a side note, the Kindle is by far the hardest to Root. Our software Kindle Fire First Aide will automate the process, this feature will be available in 3 to 4 weeks.

It is really hard to clean up the guide due to all the variables and OS's available. Cleaning up would remove important steps. Several moths ago we had a streamlined version that caused us to have over 4 postsa each day, which proved to us the guide was missing important items and steps. Now we only get 5 to 8 posts a day.

Either way, we will take your comment and forward it to our development team. Thanks!

Root Kindle Fire HD and 2 - Questions

keylerov,

When you open up your desktop Icon named Computer or My Computer, you will see a drive called Kinlde. If you double click this icon you will see "Internal Drive" when you double click this object you will see all the folders on your Virtual SD Card, one of these folders is named Download, you drop all the files into this folder. When you go to your Kinlde and open either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, the path is "sdcard" then "Download". The Kindle does have a built in SD Card, although the partition or object named sdcard is just a mount point or Virtual SD Card.

The other way to get to SD Card/Download is to open up Microsoft Explorer, navigate to the Kindle Icon, the expand or double click this icon, you will see Internal Drive, expand Internal Drive, then you will see about 10 folders, one is named Download. Copy SU Checker by Clicking the Right Hand Mouse button while on top of SU Checker, select Copy. Then navigate to the Kindle - Internal Drive - Download and select Paste by Right Hand Mouse click and select Paste inside of the Download folder.

Again you Do have a virtual SD Card on the Kindle. When you open up ES File Explorer, look at the top of the ES File Explorer interface, you will see "sdcard". Then all you have to do if find the Download folder.

Does this help?

Kindle Fire Drivers - List

fairplay89,

Just for your information, there are only 2 drivers available for the Kindle Fire HD 7", Kindle Fire 2 7" and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9":

1. Amazon Driver - Kindle Fire ADB drivers

2. Google Universal Driver - usb_driver

There are variations of the above drivers but in the end it always ends up being one of the two. The Google Driver supports over 1200 different devices but the Google Driver requires manual install. This is the most difficult aspect of the tutorial - when people have issues with the process it is usually due to:

1. Missing Path Statement in Windows

2. Driver is not functioning as designed

If you would like to use the Google Driver, you can take a peek at this RevTV video: How to Install ADB Video

If you would like additional information regarding the Amazon Driver, you can view the install notes here: Amazon ADB Notes

If you are on Windows 7 or Vista, please make sure you perform these steps prior to Rooting the Kindle: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=36373627

Finally, if you are on Windows 8, be sure to do the following prior to the install:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

That is it. We also offer in house Rooting if you prefer.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] chetek:
In house rooting?

When reading the postings you mentions "in house rooting". Can you please clarify that statement. If it means that a person can send his Kindle to you and you will root it - please let me know. I was able to root my Kindle Fire HD 7.2.3. My son has the same Kindle and I cannot get it to root even though the process ends up telling me it did root.:eek:

How to Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 - Windows Path Statement Error

domz10,

Absolutely, Microsoft Windows does not understand the erroneous Path Statement of C:\WINDOWS\system32 - we have found 90% of the problems around Rooting the Kindle is due to this problem. Most people overlook our bold statement about this serious Windows Bug. I understand, we want it to work with a few of steps as possible!

I am so glad to hear you were able to Root the Kindle, great work domz10! Please let us know if you need anything else.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] keyleroy:
That was a tremendous help. However, I have another hurdle I'm struggling with:

Play Step 3 Using ES File Explorer app, open ES File Explorer on your Kindle. Go to the Setting Menu on ES File Explorer. Choose Root Settings, Select all the options here. A Superuser window will Popup, be sure to click "Allow". - Where is the "Setting Menu located on ES File Exporer. I noticed a tab on centered on the bottom that takes me to a settings menu and Root Options at the bottom of that list. Click on Root Options takes me to Root Explorer and Mount File Sytem with unchecked boxes. Is this were I should be?

Play Step 4 Now on the Kindle Fire HD use ES File Explorer to move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app. - To move these files should I cut and paste to /system/app folder?

Play Step 5 Next change the permissions on GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by long pressing each apk until you see an option window. Select Permissions and change all 3 apk permissions to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read. - This seem self explanatory enough where I should be able to perform it.

I'm getting there slowly but surely. Thank you for your time and patience with the biggest noob on this forum
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Question: Why Root the Kindle Fire?

myviolin@163.com,

Ah yes, a solid question. The answer depends on your needs as an end user. Rooting the Kindle gives you the ability to do anything you want, basically it opens the door like the key to your house. Before Root, you were locked out, you had to do what Amazon wanted you to do with the Kindle, these are examples of the constraints when you do NOT have Root:

No Root Constraints:

1. You are limited to Amazon as a source to your software, thus you have to pay for everything.

2. The Kindle is just an overpowered Nook or Reader with a browser.

3. You have to use the Amazon Wallpaper, Amazon Launcher, Amazon Icons and the Amazon Lock Screen with Ads.

4. You are stuck with one Video Player which is very limited to just Amazon Content.

5. No Flash, forget about YouTube.

6. You are limited to one type of MP3 Player, so if you have iTunes content forget about syncing the Kindle to your expensive iTunes music.

7. Not capable to download Torrents.

The above list is small, just the downsides of not having Root. When you perform Root the door unlocks, you can do the following (small list, much more available):

Root Benefits:

1. You are able to use any software provider like Google Play Store: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069329

2. The Kindle becomes a full featured Android device with many options not available on other Androids.

3. You are able to install custom Launcher m(Go Launcher, Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher) and make the Kindle screen look like other Androids, except the Kindle Fire has resolution that is far better than the others: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069668

4. You can install whatever video player that meets your needs, like VLC Player and MX Player. Having said this, you can playback almost any content.

5. You can install Flash Player and play back any Flash content: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2066163 - You can Install YouTube and Google Earth or all the Google Apps: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=35974336

6. You are able to Sync with any other Android or iTunes, so you do not have to buy more music that you already own.

7. You can install a large number of Torrent clients - Go to Google Play Store

The above lists are small. We could spend hours discussing the benefits of Rooting. What would you like your Kindle to do? Ask us, it is probably available.

Kindle Fire First Aide - Factory USB Cables

meddle70,

This is a great question, should I perform a Factory Reset or Use Kindle Fire First Aide to restore my Kindle. The following is an outline of each method:

Factory Restore:

1. You loose your content, like Address Book, most Apps, Email, Videos, Books etc are all removed by a Factory Restore.

2. You are able to retrieve all the content by registering the Kindle back with Amazon, then all the content is downloaded back to your Kindle.

3. The folder /system/apps/ remain in tact, so most of your system services are left undamaged.

4. You must Root the device again

5. Since the /system/app folder remains in tact, you may carry over problems that were never resolved before the Factory Reset.

Kindle Fire First Aide Restore: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

1. You loose your content, like Address Book, most Apps, Email, Videos, Books etc are all removed by a Factory Restore.

2. You are able to retrieve all the content by registering the Kindle back with Amazon, then all the content is downloaded back to your Kindle.

3. The folder /system/apps/ is totally wiped clean, so all of your system services are removed and replaced with the Factory original set. You will have a fresh Kindle with no issues.

4. The Device will already have Root, so you can immediately install anything you want.

5. Since the /system/app is totally clean, you do not carry over problems that were never resolved before the Kindle Fire First Aide Restore.You are able to start over fresh.

Since you have laggy performance I would recommend Kindle Fire First Aide Restore over a Factory Reset.

Does this help you? Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Missing Framework and Background - framework-res.apk Issues

Headlessbody,

We have seen this with the Kindles, almost always it is caused by One of Two issues or "Bugs". The missing Framework or what I call the upper status bar, lower Framework and the Wallpaper are all run by framework-res.apk alone with a few other apk's but framework-res.apk does most of the work. If you have Gmail installed, it sends notifications to the upper status bar which is not a problem with other Android devices but the Kindle is not a true Android, it is highly modified. Having said this, when Gmail sends a command (appelet) with number of new emails to the upper status bar, it triggers the bar to suddenly disappear since framework-res.apk crashes and does not know how to handle the request or appelet. When framework-res.apk crashed, it will also remove the Wallpaper until the framework-res.apk is able to recover. So if you have Gmail, the solution is to go into settings and turn off or remove the check-mark next to show "Notify with New Email". Now, if you do not have Gmail, you may have another application attempting to send an appelet to the upper status bar. If you send me a list of Apps installed I will be able to respond with a fix. If you have Gmail installed and setup, than this is your solution.

The other program that can affect the status bar is a Lock Screen program. The fix depends on the Lock Screen used. Respond with a list of programs install (non-Amazon) and we will respond with a fix.

Regarding a Factory Restore, most of the time it does not fix these issues since the entire /system/app folder remains in tact. The other folders are wiped. Having said this, /system/xbin is reset, this is where the su binary is installed. Since the Factory Restore will remove the su binary, you will loose the Root function since Superuser.apk calls to the su binary when a Root request is made. When we here issues like yours, we usually recommend a complete Restore using Kindle Fire First Aide. If you decide to perform a full reset you will need a Factory USB Cable which allows the Flash Process to execute. Send us a PM and we will ship, the cost $12 shipped to the Domestic US.
