[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulmont:
A different PC worked. The problem was somewhere in the stuff I had installed before I found this thread, apparently, and also when I was still just trying to sideload... either Android Studio/SDK or Bluestacks managed to mess everything up.

In particular, for the archives, Bluestacks causes the following error:

[*] Sending files to your device...

[*] Starting rooting program.

/storage/sdcard/arm-logs/arm-runtime.log: Permission denied

ro.build.product=klte

ro.build.id=KOT49H

[*] Checking if rooting succeeded

[*] Unfortunately, rooting failed. Cleaning up.[*] Note: if you see 'Your Kernel is Patched!' then that means[*] that Saferoot won't work with your phone. Please try some other[*] way of rooting it.

Press any key to continue . . .

Uninstalled everything related to Android and reinstalled just the pieces from your post and it worked great.

Thank you!

Kindle stuck after step 6

Hi. I am trying to flash FFF and TWRP so that I can install a custom ROM on the kindle fire gen 1.

I followed your instructions to root and completed that successfully.

I got through step #5 in flashing fff and twrp but after entering the adb reboot command, my kindle rebooted and got stuck on the kindle fire screen.

I put in the next command

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img

i got <waiting for device> as a response and nothing happens after that.

I downloaded the files given in the instructions and followed the video step by step. Everything worked fine until the reboot.

Once I inputted the first command and <waiting on device> appeared, nothing happened.

I have restarted both my computer and the kindle. I have installed and reinstalled the drivers from KFU.

I tried to force fastboot mode again by starting at step 5 but now the command screen says error no device found. After restarting the computer and kindle, my device no longer appears on Device Manager or My computer although it appeared before I started rooting just fine as well as appeared before I started following the steps for in flash fff and twrp post.

I am using a computer running Windows 7 64-bit.

Did I brick my kindle?? Please help!!!

Don't know what the issue is.

Could use rootmaster. I don't know for sure that it is safe, it's chinese, and not open source, but it should root fine.

edit: that's the link to the rootmaster pc program not the app version

edit2:

RootMaster Links

Rootmaster apk - English version

and

Rootmaster.exe for PC (English)

Most android devices are rootable by one or both these options.

These are made by Chinese devs, not open source, so whether they are safe or not is Unknown.

Sorry for annoying question

I have issued with step 6 that devices not return 12345689abcd... Kindle or anything like that

Tried with

"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"

and then

"fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"

KF reboot as it work

Is it safe to skip step 6 to continuing do step 7? In case that FFF and recovery (TWRP) not successfully installed, will device got bricked or just reboot command to normaly usage?

And I'd like to install a 4.4 Rom for familiar usage like slimkat or CM, so which recovery and bootloader are correct for me.

" fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot "

Is it just those file name for another bootloader and recovery?

Safe to just Re-Root?

Hi [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]

About a month ago I rooted my gen 1 kindle fire using your video and instructions for 6.3.3 (mine is actually version 6.3.4). It rooted fine, drivers installed, got Google play and everything no problem. Now, I’ve decided to flash TWRP/FFF using your how-to. All went OK until I ran su from command prompt, and I got access denied/no permission message. Try to open SuperSU on tablet and getting "no SU binary installed" meassage. Updated SuperSU via Play store, made no difference. Checked with root checker and have apparently lost root. Still have play store OK, but no root and can't continue to flash TWRP/FFF for custom rom.

Can I just reroot, or do I have to try to get to factory specs again before doing that? Of course I have no recovery options since I haven't been able to flash TWRP/FFF yet, so getting back to stock isn't going to be easy.

If I could just run the rooting process again that would be great, but I'd like to know if that's safe to do. BTW, the only apps installed that show on super user permission list are ES file manager, Root Browser and ADB Shell.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Just reroot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untwed:
OOPS! Aw snap. Just re-watched the video and answered my own question. at about 2:25, sd_Shadow SPECIFICALLY SAYS- having phone listed is ok, making sure ADB is there. and it is. Sorry folks

I should delete the following- but will just leave it up.

--------------------------

I am concerned about proceeding further. Spent hours reading, got frustrated, almost attempted to root using KFU. did nothing instead. Found this thread this am. Glad I did.

Currently, I have an old vista laptop (7 years old). here is my question. IS this a problem ? -->>

Kindle is showing up as Samsung Phone in device manager.

I have a Stock Kindle 6.3.4

using this link as my reference

http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire/development/how-to-kindle-fire-1-update-6-3-3-t2814955

I have Installed drivers after verifying MD5check sum. I have Installed Saferoot, per instructions and using checksum. I ran saferoot, was asked if I wanted to install busybox. I didnt know but I assumed the answer was yes (did nothing though). Decided to watch the video linked in thread on how to root. The video says I should see amazon or kindle listed in device manager. All i get is samsung phone. Nested in samsung phone is android debugging bridge. Is it ok to proceed and install busybox? I guess I should take a screenshot but will have to do that when i get home if necessary (not home now)

Thank you :)

Stuck on "Waiting for device to appear"

Hello! I have hit a dead end. Trying to root my Kindle Fire and it is stuck on the "Waiting for device to appear". I have installed the drivers with the "install_bat" from the kindle fire utility and rebooted my PC. I saw a familiar post like this and you said to reboot PC and Kindle Fire. Did that twice.
