Sounds like you may have jumped the gun on unrooting, and hadn't let the system be rebooted. Otherwise, you had an issue that's covered in another post... I'll link that at the end.

Anyway, give the latest Kindle Fire First Aide a shot. It worked for me on 8.4.3 and so far I've read about many things that worked for it also working on 8.4.6. Here's how to do that, if you want to try. (Note that I'm only recounting what worked for me, not by any means making any guarantees.) Download and set up the latest version of KFFirstAide from its thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 Then go through the menu to reach rooting, and follow the instructions. Your device will be sluggish with messed up graphics again; that's normal, let it be for now. You'll need to fight past that to get to root checker and approve the superuser / supersu prompt. It'll be frustrating, but easy enough in the long run. Then press a key to continue on your computer after root is confirmed for the tablet. That'll reboot it and fix the glitches. Or that's how it worked for me, anyway.

If you still have the glitched graphics the following post explains how to fix that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40984957&highlight=slow+delete+file#post40984957

Well... all works like a charm. No fix needed: KFFA has done all the stuff itself. SuperSU installed, alive and kickin'!

I can definitely confirm that this steps working on a 8.4.6.

Please forgive the nooby question, but how am I supposed to run the Root Checker on my Kindle? I downloaded the suchecker.apk file to my device, but it won't let me open the file.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilentlyScreaming:
Could you let us know what error is displayed, and exactly what you did prior to the problem?

For example, something like...

I downloaded http://example.com/madeUPname.apk with the default Silk browser on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9

Then I attempted to open the file via File Explorer

The message displayed was "file is corrupt"

Otherwise we're just guessing what the root (no pun intended!) of the problem is, and what possible steps could be taken to sort it.

I'm having trouble with step B. When I try to enter

just success rooted my 10.4.6 second gen fire

here is what happened. hope it helps anyone

kindle fire root:

in cmd (not sure if need this step but i was following instruct)

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

ADB drivers.zip

installed both kindledriver and

installed fire adb drivers.exe

kindle on, plugged in usb using original cable (not sure if important)

ran aide

selet option 5 (root), then select 2 (preferred)

process starts

kindle asks for permission for full data restore. i did not enter any password (though i thought i was suppose to enter my amazon.com pw), and pressed the bottom right button “full restore (or similar)”

after reboot, kindle responded VERY slowly, had to tap/drag multiple times the unlock tab. tried navigating to device apps -> SU, but was so unresponsive. before i could get there, kindle prompted “launcher not responding” and i selected option to close the launcher. i suspect if i had selected to let it continue running, i would have eventually through many taps gotten to the SU app.

kindle was still slow with kindlefire boot logo flickering on top of kindle dashboard. i “pressed any key to continue” within Aide. Kindle rebooted to login screen and behaved as normal this time. Aide said rooting was successful, along with the superuser prompts. I verified root on kindle. success!

in hindsight:

i didn’t enter any password when doing full restore. simply tapped “OK (or do full restore forgot what the button text was)” and kindle rebooted.

maybe if i entered password, i could have avoided the weird laggy flickering unresponsive session as described
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilentlyScreaming:
When you say you're running as administrator, do you mean you're logged into Windows with an account that has administrator privileges, or specifically that the command prompt is being run with admin privileges? If you're not sure how to do that, click the start button, type in CMD to the "Search programs and files" box at the bottom. When cmd.exe appears under "Programs" at the top, right click it, and select "Run as administrator". Click "Yes". Continue as normal to run KFFA.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

I've bought this up before, in terms of not actually needing to type in the password. AFAIK, it is completely unrelated to the laggy, unresponsive state your Kindle suffers for a short while. I believe there is a standalone option to fix this state, should you ever find yourself experiencing it again, and KFFA doesn't automatically parse the command by itself.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stephen.lacey:
Kindle laggy and stuck with flashing logo now...

Hi,

Thanks for the guide.

I'm on Win 8 64-bit and got the root option to work however now the kindle flashes the Kindle fire logo every 5-6 seconds and the system is totally logged.

Please please please tell me that that there is an easy fix for this. It's my wifes kindle and she's just had surgery - she really needs it.

BTW, I have tried option 42 but it didn't work. If it helps it seems that su commands don't seem to work, although the root option 21 says the root was successful.

I get "/system/bin/sh: su: not found" a lot

likewise I get "/system/bin/sh: busybox: not found" not found

Also, the dropboxdownload downloads always seem to fail.

Final edit: fixed using the s/ware here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45045066

I chose option 1,1 Root + Recovery

That post said to have a fastboot factory cable, but as I suspected my kindle was stuck in fastboot mode I tried with the standard cable and it all worked.

Thanks

I'm having issues rooting my Kindle Fire 8.9". I haven't had issues with my kindle fire hd 7" but this one I am. It recognized and went through the process using option 21 (root KF preferred), but it was sluggish, no pictures, the "n" is crooked when loading and so is the lock on the lock screen. KFFA said it was rooted during the process, but root check basic says it is not. I also tried option 20 with the same results. I tried rebooting and there was not a change.

I'm running windows 7 if that matters at this point.

Thoughts?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
You might try running game it again. Sounds almost as if it needed to boot one last time. In fact, what happens if you reboot it one more time?

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

I posted a response in the post above but did not quote you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Zuggel:
I tried running it multiple times and several reboots but there hasn't been a change. Also, when I go to apps I have root checker basic, but not SU.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] LinearEquation:
I wanted you to know I received this and wanted to say I'm not ignoring. I want to give the right answer not just what I think the answer is. Seems there was a fix for this but I only laid eyes on it once and it was a while ago. I will try and find it and post back.

In the mean time I will post what I would do were it me. When you redid the process, did you just try to root again or did you do a full restore first? The reason I ask is because maybe something got corrupted along the way.

What if you did a full restore back to one of the formats. Use option 5, 6 or 7 and when asked if you want to wipe something, select yes to get as clean of an install as possible.

Then try to re-root, install Gapps and don't forget to remove OTA updates. If it were me, this would be what I tried first (with full restore). If you have restored using 5, 6 or 7 then try a different one. I would root with option 21 of KFFA. The restore will take about an hour maybe more to push through.

In the mean time, I will see what I can find on this lagging issue.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

I wanted to add that you will need to go into fastboot to do the restore. You won't use a fastboot cord, you will use fastboot with your USB cord Are you failure with this? I will list the steps if not. You will have to set up some ADB drivers as well. It is a small process but might be what needs to be done.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Zuggel:
I did not do a full restore, I thought I had read something about that potentially creating more problems than it solves so I didn't....then I got impatient, tried to do a restore and couldn't, I hit the button to do so and it didn't do anything.

I tried using 7, with a standard usb cable it stated that it could not get into fast boot mode, no SU detected, or something to that effect. I had order a factory cable a while ago when I thought i would need it for my KF HD 7" but ended up not using it. When I hook it up to the KF 9.8 it boots as if it is a standard USB cable. Since I had never used it before, I couldn't tell you if it's a bad cable, the wrong cable or something else since I am assuming that I should notice a difference.

I saw you edit as I was typing, I have not done and do not know how to get into fastboot with a standard USB, but am more than willing to try it.

Here is the video on how to set up the ADB drivers. It's very informative and will get you there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw

I will direct you to Hashcode's topic that has the instructions on how to get into fastboot mode. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37454330&postcount=1

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Don't use the fatsboot cord, it won't work. Please see my last post above. You have to use the command (cmd) procedure and the USB to get into fastboot. That's why there was no progress.

Keep in mind that the root process uses different files depending on what you are running for firmware. Which fimware are you running? Maybe, we can try a different root method and see if that nets a better outcome. Do you remember which firmware you are using? You have to be 100% positive.

You're welcome. Just curious, which firmware are you running now? You could always try a different method of rooting if you knew preciously which firmware you're running. You have to be sure though 100%. Or, you can move forward with the restore.

Yea, that will cause problems. Always want to verify root access before going with Play Store. KFFA should verify root access but nothing is without an issue from time to time.

After rooting the Kindle Fire logo keeps flickering the screen freezes or does not respond to touches. Does anyone have a successful way to fix this common issue?

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Not sure if that problem is the one I'm thinking of but if its acting all laggy and such try seeing if you have permissions to delete this file if it exists: /data/local.prop

I don't know much about kffa but I know that file tends to cause issues if something happens and it doesn't get removed after rooting.

This is a very sleepily made post, so if it wasn't the answer to your problem I may have misread your question.

I read somewhere that someone did that but I have not tried it yet but I will tonight if I can access it through shell

Stock rom image? anybody?

So heres my dilemma: I followed to get my fire rooted and was successful with option 21. Unfortunately, when the kindle rebooted it was missing almost all its apps, including the browser and the app store. To be clear, I'm quite sure it was me who managed to err somewhere along the line and it was probably a careless mistake. Nonetheless, I am now left with a rooted but useless kindle until i can figure out how to get the apps back with no way of connecting to the internet.

I have a lot of experience with samsung smartphones and if this happened on my phone i would just push the missing files back with adb or flash them through odin but this is my first foray into tablets. I guess I need a copy of the stock rom to try to push back? just not sure how to handle this one. Any suggestions and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!
