Hi Shadow

Thank you and other forum members whose comments and and videos assisted me converting my kindle fire 1st gen v6.3.4 into a functioning tablet. My main goal was to be able to use the TWC TV APP which I was unable due to unable to disable debugging. Using your advise, comments and videos I was able to root, install TWRP, wipe the kindle fire stock system, install a new custom Rom and gapps files. I now have a great devise and enjoy watching TWC TV.

Thank you very much.

Aloha,

Rick

Kindle Fire 6.3.4

Installed drivers.

When I run saferoot, it stays stuck on "Waiting for your phone to appear" no matter what I do. The kindle is listed as Android Phone in device manager, with the ADB Interface. Ive tried connecting in both modes on kindle, the file copying mode and normal. Ive restarted both pc and kindle. Nothing I can do will get it to find the kindle and start the root.

EDIT: FYI if anyone runs into this, I finally just went into the device manager and let windows update the ADB driver listed under the Kindle (android phone) on its own. It fixed the issue. So maybe the driver in the Kindle Fire Utility doesnt work now. Im on Windows 10 btw

Rooting Kindle Fire First Generation

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION],

First let me say I am new to this and I may have misunderstood the terminology in the thread, however it worked for me perfectly with one exception. Install the drivers from the zip file had the KF show up as an Android Device with ADB capability, but the fastboot commands would not work. I then had the computer search for updated USB drivers on the internet. It found some drivers, downloaded and installed them. The device then showed up as a KF and I could access fastboot and issue commands from a terminal. In reading the instructions in post three and seven I did not see this step, the way I did it listed. I just wanted to mention this in case it helps someone else, but again if I am misreading the directions I apologize.

I currently have a version of Kit Kat installed, and am happy with the device for email and watching videos.

There are 2 ways to root the kindle Fire

in Rom with Saferoot or root master...

in TWRP with a prerooted rom or supersu.zip

Twrp is a custom recovery, FFF is a custom bootloader, both are needed to flash custom roms, or modified stock roms

but it usually works to install Google apps, you can try a few different thinks to get KFU to work or skip it and flash FFF/Twrp

There is more to the battery than just percentage, the Rom will put more stress on the battery then twrp

I successfully rooted my KF1 with saferoot.zip downloaded from the link on the How-To page.

But I had to fix the install.bat, as the 2 mount commands were failing (so for example, busybox was not installed)

files\adb shell %su% -c mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system

files\adb shell %su% -c mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system

The install.bat from the saferoot zip is missing the "ext4" parameter.
