[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robochicken11:
Are you aware of this?

I was following the guide so I installed the drivers. Well, tried to. The MEGA download was blocked by chrome for harming my browsing experience... hmm, odd. But google can have false positives right? Good job there's another download. So I open that up and hmm, this website looks a tad... odd... but meh, some websites just don't look nice. Now, time to run that installer.

Hmm, how odd. The installer is taking a while to ru - oh no here it is. Wait; what? This isn't a normal downloader, it's got a fishy look to it... and suddenly, McAfee gives me a pop up saying an infected file has been quarantined! (did mcaffe actually do something other than setting my search engine to yahoo?) ABORT, ABORT! CA - wait... the cancel button brings me to a menu and two buttons... both of which take me back to the download screen. Well crap.

After rebooting the computer I have a shortcut to EZdownloader on my desktop and two desktop.ini files. Err, I don't remember placing that shortcut there! Well, better remove this crap. So I deleted it from my program files and uninstalled it using the control panel, which thankfully worked.

Are you aware the file is malware? Eitherway, no way I'm downloading THAT again...

Thanks for teaching me a lesson here; not to be cautious when it comes to computer security.

1. the KFU contains a old rooting utility, every rooting method uses some kind of exploit, and any good anti-virus program should warn you.

2. the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9.zip is safe be sure you are downloading that file and that md5 checksum matches

3. DevHost is a questionable site, do not click on the adds, uncheck the use downloader box.

4. I have included Kindle.fire.drivers.zip as an attchment in the OP and should work fine to install drivers.

5. Mega is very safe, but if it is blocked on you end not much I can do about that.

6. I didn't create KFU, and didn't upload it to DevHost or Mega, but have downloaded from both several times and never had a problem.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robochicken11:
Ah, now that would make sense! Damn, those dodgy sites. Thanks for putting the file in the OP!

EDIT: I'm getting an error saying the language is not supported?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Also edited the op again, and added a Android File Host mirror that should work well.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robochicken11:
God, flashing on this thing is proving to be quite a challenge. Anyway, how do I change the perms to add the chmod part? Pressing more brings me to a menu, then pressing properties takes me to another menu. There is a permissions row, clicking change opens the menu shown in the OP and changing them gets the rw- r-- r-- but how do I get the chmod at the end? Do I even need to do that for flashing twrp?

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

So I've assumed I don't need play store services to flash twrp, so I've decided to press on. In the cmd window typing "fastboot devices" does nothing, so I think my drivers haven't installed properly. Well nope... in the kindle.fire.drivers, running install_drivers.bat opens an admin auth window, which I allow and then I get an error

"The current language is not support by the device driver installation wizard"

"contact the vendor that provided you this package"

Err, I'm English though...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
chmod is the command for changing permissions. If using and app to change permissions, that is how the app is making changes. You don't need Google Apps to install Twrp, did you watch my video on installing twrp?

your PC is set to english (US) not English (UK) or other non US

if using a non US english, you need to edit the drivers, it can be done, I never have (Yet).

Hi thanks for the fast reply. :)

I still have a question

Should i put the Install.bat (saferoot folder)? and match with the given md5 which is "a20011995d115c3b2d66dcc92303031e" in the MD5 Check??(i attached a screenshot)

This is the link of the saferoot Ive download on your site

Should i just download again and again till i got the same code?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
if md5 doesn't match it's not the same file, either corrupt download or different version, or anti-virus is removing exploit.

Trouble With Rooting

Hey, first off, thanks for being so active. I've seen too many threads for programs and the like that the creator just drops off the face of the earth.

Now, on to the problem. So, I'm trying to root a gen one kindle fire running 6.3.4 . I'm running windows 8.1, and i'm just using a regular USB-micro connecting cable . I've disabled the driver signature already, I've added the ADB and fastboot path per the cyanogenmod instructions (what I want to install), and it shows up as an Android ADB or Android phone on my computer. I can access it from file explorer directly even. However, it's not being recognized as and ADB device by way of the "ADB devices" command or the "fastboot devices command", and saferoot is not recognizing it as a connected device, even though the computer is. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, I've tried re-downloading the files, and I've tried switching the port it's plugged in (both USB 2.0 and 3.0). I've checked the md5 with the first checker both times, and everything seems to be fine (i.e. both codes matched and checked out each time). I'm at a loss now, so what do I do now? Any help you could supply would be greatly appreciated!

If needed, I can try to provide a screen shot, but there's not much different from what's already been put up. The previous questions didn't address my problem, though. Again, thanks for any help you can give.
