This will prevent the Kindle from checking for updates since the kindle only knows so many servers to check. Now, if amazon has a way to push updates to your device without your device requesting it then it could come from a different IP address.

That's not entirely true. 1 Mobile Market only has free apps and a more limited selection. There's no way to get your paid apps from 1 Mobile Market. I had to side load my paid apps.

Good News Everyone! I made the required changes in source, and recompiled it for the Kindle Fire HDX 7". It worked for me at least! Here it goes:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] cowhow:
IMy HDX 8.9 was on my doorstep today and as soon as I turned it on and it proceeded to install an update, or at least tried to. Since it doesn't tell you WHAT the update is it's sort of clinches your undies in a wad. I don't see a way to turn auto update off in the GUI. So, what's the verdict? Update or no? Because I'm guessing it's possible that, even if I root now, I could lose it by updating.

Props guys for getting us root so fast.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Moronig:
I got mine two days ago, installed the update as it was setting up, and it's still rootable. Also, just checked for updates now, and no new ones, so you're probably safe.

Based on the Nexus 7 (2013) build.prop change the line to this:

Also,to block the update servers might be best to add the IP addresses that kholdstare mentioned to the hosts file in /system/etc/hosts with root.

There is a topic on here that has the IP addresses that Amazon uses to update from. Add them to Droidwall or AdAway so your tablet never hears them. I believe it is in the 2013 KFHD 7" topic just made for rooting it.

Word of caution: do NOT attempt to factory reset you rooted kindle fire. Did it on mine yesterday, it won't boot and I can't get adb.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Android Cowboy:
Yeah, same happened to me. Factory reset is the worst thing to do. Totally kills adb and bricks it. I called Amazon and getting a replacement for now.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] bruckner:
Does that apply if nothing else than rooting happened on the device? Could it also happen if it catches an OTA update from Amazon?

Just in case, is/will there be a way to unroot?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Moronig:
As far as I know, firmware 13.3.1 could have a problem on factory reset. What I mean is, if you try to factory reset it even without root on 13.3.1, you could brick your device. At least no one has reported a successful factory reset on 13.3.1...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] LinearEquation:
Amazon checks for physical damage and sends it back to China. If you're good there and still under warranty, you can pretty much get a hassle free exchange.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] EniGmA1987:
Has to be 13.3.1 because it is not possible to root any firmware but that one on the 7". I know from experience :( Took me forever trying to root because no real error info is given except "couldnt get root" so I didnt realize it only works on a specific firmware version till I narrowed down everything else.

It will come with wheat ever firmware was on it when it was manufactured. Amazon (usually) won't update them before shipping them. The exact one no one can say. I just modded a 2012 KFHD7 for someone the other day and it had 7.2.3 on it out of the box.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Montisaquadeis:
I managed to get my Kindle Fire HDX rooted by using a different machine that never had any kindle devices/software attached to it Which I think did the trick

What I basically did was Install the ADB drivers on the other PC before hooking the HDX up but before I hooked it up I enabled ADB in the settings then plugged it in for the first time which got ADB working finally then I basically ran the rooting app from here

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] Erusman:
Not that I have heard of. But, if Hashcode can get the Safestrap to work on the HDX 8.9. Then we could basically just bypass the

Not yet. Still other things that I want to get through before starting down that path since I have no interest in losing any Amazon services. Once security is reliably removed & all the patched & fixes perfected, then I'll start looking at the BL, but it is going to be a tough nut to crack.

In the meantime, as soon as these holidays are past, I have asked [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] to contact me & I will work with him on a SafeStrap for the 8.9. Just tough to find time right now, with the holidays & the first of the year.

is check-rooted present on KF HDX ??

I previously rooted my original Kindle Fire & I have been enjoying the ability to use Google Play immensely !! Because of this past success, I am following closely & I am very much looking forward to the progress in getting the same capability on my new Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. As an early adopter (of many things, not just of rooting the KF HDX 8.9 !!), I have already duplicated the process described in the OP to get root access.

Now, based upon what I experienced with my original KF (when rooted, several stock capabilities were disabled, such as watching videos), my question is this: is there an equivalent to "check-rooted" (present on the original KF) in the KF HDX ?? Applying su & getting root access does not seem to interfere with anything that I can detect so far. I'm just wondering if anyone else has detected anything that is adversely affected by rooting ?? Frankly, I'm surprised that there does not seem to be a "check-rooted" equivalent . . . they had to know that root would eventually be achieved !!

Thanks to everyone that works diligently to figure out how to root & how to apply the needed packages to allow us to fully enjoy everything that our Kindles are capable of !!

Good luck & have fun !!

For someone that needs a totally clean -from Amazon services- tablet, only solution is to wait for some custom rom to be developed?

I love the specs of this device, but I prefer to have it with a pure android OS.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] GSLEON3:
Sort of. You can hide all of the Amazon services & even remove SOME of them. However, if you want all of them 100% gone, not just some gone & others hidden, then yes.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] CrashThump:
I don't think so.

In theory we can remove all Amazon applications using the root access. Broken Android applications and Android framework could be recompiled from AOSP source, also we have some sources from Amazon for some device-specific code which need to be merged with AOSP. AOSP applications (camera, lockscreen) will not support origami case features.

Gapps could be taken from Nexus 10 ROM (I'm not sure if gapps redistributing by some portals are recompiled, maybe it's just a minimal dump).

All we don't have is the ability to launch our own kernel (but i didn't try, just citing some xda developer)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Android Development] RASTAVIPER:
So, I guess this tablet is not 100% ready yet for full Android experience.

I got my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Apollo today and the first thing it did was updating to 321093620...

I read that FW 321093620 is not rootable (yet).

But because of HDX Update Temporary Work Around-thread from GSLEON3 i had hope, that i can still root, because i have not booted since the update was pushed and installed to my device

The first five commands from the tutorial worked:

adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb push rootme.sh /data/local/tmp/
adb push exploit /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootme.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/exploit

Unfortunately when running rootme.sh through the expolit i get the following errors:

adb shell /data/local/tmp/exploit -c "/data/local/tmp/rootme.sh"

Are the errors, because the new FW is already installed, or is there still hope?

I don'r know how long i can wait for the reboot, so quick response would be nice, if i still can do something to root...
