cramamarshall,

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. Yes, we have seen trouble with the Windows 8 platform but usually if you turn off the Windows 8 driver signing, you can usually break through the OS. Here is the key Windows 8 step, just FYI:

No Bin4ry Kindle reboot

Hello Chris,

Several days sraggling to root my KF 7" 7.2.3 with Windows XP SP3. The computer sees the KF under adb devices normaly, but running runme from Bin4ry I get after each command messages like "System cannot find the path" (can not provide exact wording since the system is in Russian), Kindle does not ask for reboot, and the process stops... Looking through the whole thread I have not found anything similar... Any solution?

Thank you in advance!

PS: And Yes, ADB and Applications Instalation are enabled on the Kindle, adb processes are killed in the Task Manager, drivers are updated...

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

Sn0wdune,

OK, so if I understand you correctly, you Rooted the Kindle a few weeks ago when the Kindle Fire HD 7" was software 7.2.3. You did not install any software that would remove Root, you are still on the same software version of 7.2.3 and suddenly Root stopped working. When you launch the Superuser Icon do you see:

If you see the above interface when you launch the Superuser icon in /Apps on Device, then proceed to test the binary:

Root Step 1: Download suchecker.apk: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/suchecker.apk

Root Step 2: Using Windows Explorer, move suchecker from the desktop to /Kindle/Internal Drive/Download

Root Step 3: Now go to the Kindle. Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, go to /sdcard/Download/suchecker.apk choose Install

Root Step 4: When the install has finished, go to your Apps. Launch Root Checker. When you check Root you will be presented with a "Allow" dialogue box, be sure to Allow Root Checker. You should now see that Superuser.apk is working.

You should now have root AND if this is true your ADB communication is also functional.

If no, then reply with more details so we can try solutions beyond resetting the Kindle Fire HD 7" software 7.2.3.

re unable to provide exact wording, right click on the command prompt screen somewhere. Select MARK (probably Выделить or Отметить), then using the left mouse button, click and drag the selection to cover the words or lines you want to copy. Now press enter.

Are there any spaces in the path to the expanded programs, for example in your Windows Account name? It could be that ( c:\Users\A Made Up Name\desktop ) , but I'm clutching at straws a little.

You could try repeating the instructions, but instead of extracting the qemu and other archive to your desktop, try using c:\xdakindle\ instead. No spaces in the directory name. Also, if c:\windows\system32 is in your path, can you confirm that a) Windows is definitely installed on your C: drive, not another partition/drive? and b) that the Windows install is actually at c:\Windows , not c:\Windows2 or c:\Windows.001 etc etc

Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - ADB Comm Issue

vlandreev,

First, disable driver signing:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Then go to Add/Remove Programs, remove the Kindle Driver, then reboot with the Kindle Unplugged. Next, when you are back to your desktop, plug in the Kindle to USB, then go to the Windows device manager and Right Hand Mouse click Unistall all instances of the Kindle driver, you will may see Portable Devices > Kindle and Kindle > Android ADB Interface. Unistall both, then reboot with the Kindle unplugged.

Next install this driver package: Kindle Fire ADB drivers

Reboot and plug the Kindle back to USB. You will now be able to Root the Kindle. When you are done be sure to:

bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

Also, be sure you are using our Utilities which have modified code to make Rooting more successful.

HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - ES File Explorer Fails

darlinpeaches,

Two solutions here, one update ES File Explorer from here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/es_file_explorer_v1_6_2_1.apk

Then go into the Settings, Root Settings and check all the boxes in Root Settings, be sure to Allow Superuser when you see the pop-up.

This update will solve you problem, if it does not reply back we will give you a different File Explorer to use.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
darlinpeaches,

OK, you have a good Explorer. Have you gone into ES File Explorer settings and enabled Root in Root Settings? Did you have a pop-up asking you to allow Root? Are you sure you are an the "Device" under Apps? Click on the Apps and look at the top of the screen, do you see Cloud or Device? Click on Device, the installs should appear.

For some reason the Kindle defaults to the Cloud, this is a common mistake. If this is not your problem, reply back.

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

k2bikerider,

First did you download the software from US? If not this is your problem, download our update from here: Root MANY ANDROID!

If you did download the software from us, then we need to remove the driver and use this one: Kindle Fire ADB drivers by going to Add/Remove Programs - remove anything ADB, Amazon ADB or Google ADB Driver. Then reboot (leave the Kindle unplugged), then when you are back to the desktop we need to verify all the drivers are removed. Plug in the Kindle and Right Hand Mouse Click over My Computer and select Properties, then Device Manager - do you see two Yellow Triangles? One should be MTP and the other Unknown device. If no, you see Kindle > Android ADB Composite Interface and Portable Devices > Kindle, you need to Right Hand Mouse click Unistall both, then unplug the Kindle. After you are back to your desktop, then we need to verify you indeed removed all instances of the driver by plugging into USB and inspect the Windows Device Manager. Once you see Yellow Triangles then Unplug the device from USB and type the following at Windows Command:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Reinstall this driver: Kindle Fire ADB drivers

then plug in the Kindle to USB, let the driver install. Now Root the Kindle, when done, drop to command and type:

bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

Krsmqn,

The newest version is designed around the CM10 file system which causes trouble with the ICS File system. They have attempted to enable "Smart File System Browsing..."

So much for Smart...............

If Google updates and breaks you copy, here is a hard link to the older version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/es_file_explorer_v1_6_2_1.apk

At the moment, we only recommend Version 1.6.2.1 or older.

darlinpeaches,

Yes, the latest version of ES File Explorer was designed around CM10 which is Jelly Bean, the Kindle is ICS, although the two file systems are fairly similar it still causes trouble on the Kindle. They have attempted to enable a Smart type file system browsing which fails on the Kindle. We have sent a Bug Report to the developer.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

Skirball,

You are almost done! Sorry for the delay, we were updating the links so other people could use Ubuntu One, we are done updating this thread, so if you refresh the page, you will see the new information. We also updated the procedure a little, as a matter of fact, the update is the step you are on at the moment.

OK, you are close. You have two items in your device manager, correct?

Kindle > Android ADB Interface

Portable Devices > Kindle

If this looks good, let make sure you enabled ADB on the device under Security and enabled "allow installation of programs" under device. If this is all turned on, then proceed.

Next we need to make sure ADB is working, download this small package for testing: http://ubuntuone.com/0cpQlv3GCZweF0wccOMOYQ

Unzip ADB Update.zip as ADB Update and open a command prompt within the folder, then type these commands:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

Do you see a serial number appear after the adb devices command? If yes, copy the entire contents of this entire folder to the Root (base) of the Root Many Android program and copy a second set in the Root Many Android 'Stuff' folder.

Then try to open the RunMe.bat file "As an Administrator" by Right Hand mouse click over RunMe.bat and use Run "As Administrator".

If this does not work look at our next post below this one.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Updated Android ADB USB File

To All-

We have had a number of people experiencing trouble with the USB Driver lately, here is some ideas and fixes that were tested today:

Step 1: Download the latest USB Driver updated at 12:05am 02/06/2013 here: USB Driver (Dropbox) or USB Driver (Ubuntu One)

Step 2: Download the adb_usb.ini from here: Android ADB USB Ident (Dropbox) or Android ADB USB Ident (Ubuntu One)

Step 3: Unzip the andoid.zip as .andoid folder to your desktop. Then copy the .android folder to C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\.android OR C:\Users\Your User Name\.android

Step 4: Unzip the usb_driver.zip folder as usb_driver on your desktop.

Step 5: Next let's open the device manager do you see a Kindle icon with a Yellow Triangle? If yes, click on it with a Right Hand mouse click and select Properties, then on the General Tab select Update Driver.

Step 6: Browse to the usb_driver folder on your desktop. Choose Locate and Install Driver Manually. Then click OK, be sure to Accept or Allow the driver warning pop-up.

Step 7: That is it, you are now using the latest Google ADB Driver for Windows and the really nice part of this driver? This is the same driver used with about 6,000 other devices so future ADB driver installs will be unnecessary as you buy new tablets.

Step 8: You should now see two devices when you turn on ADB on the Kindle.

Kindle > Android ADB Composite Interface

Portable Devices > Kindle
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Skirball:
Nope, well, not at the same time. I originally had the Portable Devices > Kindle, but after loading the drivers that one disappeared and I had the Kindle > Android ADB Interface. I just went in and tried updating drivers, it found one called "MTP USB Device" and now I'm back to just Portable Devices > Kindle. Any ideas? At this point I think I've flip flopped drivers so many times it'd be best to start clean. If I just right click Kindle > Properties > Drivers > Uninstall will that get me back to Square 1?

Edit: One more thing. I don't think it matters, but I noticed in the post above you were very specific about where your folders are. I put all my files in a folder in my documents\Android ADB. Your guide says to drop it on the desktop, but I'm assuming that shouldn't matter right?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stefanescupatronu:
good day if I'm wrong I apologize topic. kftt's root after qemu method and want to know after root the ram size 751,8mb it's correct?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Skirball:
I gave this a go, but I can't get the Yellow Triangle, I still have the original drivers on my system. I turned off my WiFi and uninstalled and it showed up as Other Devices > Kindle with the Yellow Triangle, but after a couple seconds it loaded the drivers automatically and puts it back to normal... so I'd assume the drivers are resident somewhere. Here's what it says under properties:

I tried installing the drivers anyway. I navigated to the folder and it says there aren't any valid drivers and that I need a 64bit driver.

Edit: Nevermind, I got it. Not completely sure how, but I believe it was the Amazon ADB driver that worked in the end. I wish I could provide information on exactly what I did to help others, but I don't actually know. There was a lot of installing and uninstalling. I think the final pattern was that I uninstalled all Kindle drivers, Windows automatically loaded the drivers I reference above, I then tried to install the new drivers listed in this post (which weren't able to load), and then I loaded the Amazon ADB drivers listed in the first post in this thread.

Once I had both Kindle spots showing up in Device manager it's pretty straightforward. I did try option two with my 8.9 and I got a lot of errors. I also never had the slowing that was mentioned but tried Qmenu anyway. I wasn't convinced that I was rooted so I went back and tried option 1 and it went much smoother. I was able to get Google Play loaded though I have a few items I need to take care of. I'm no computer expert and this was after working a 15 hour shift and my brain was fried - so I'm confirming that anybody can do this. Thanks again for the help.

By the way, this question is fine here, anything we can do to help.

Sorry for the delay, we have been buried. No, that does not sound correct. Go into More+ Applications and Installed Applications. Scroll down to Superuser, what does it say here in Installed Applications? You can also go to Google Play Store, download and install Process Manager from developer Houmiak, here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.houmiak.taskmanager
