Root for Play Store

Im rooting a friend's fire only for market. Can I just use the temporary root option in KFU so I can mount the system/app to install Play Store?

I used this ROM. I don't mind the stock UI, but wanted google market, so this works for me.

I don't want a new ROM, rather a temporary root method

I would reccomend using a tenporary root such as burrito root or zergrush. Go o youtube and there are many videos on rooting the kindle in such a way. I wouldnt trust kfu too much. Even software can make mistakes.

Does burrito root support stock 6.3?

Idk about burritoroot 3... it could. Id check it out first. I know burrito root was used to root 6.2.2 as well, whether it was updated or not i do not know. Zerg works. There is a thread on xda as well.

do a permanent root using 6.3 root method once you are done with root work just remove su binary from /system/bin/ and superuser.apk from /system/app
all done
i prefer OTA unrooter.
or just rename su to su2 or something else
this will make everything (every app) think that you don't have root.

For 6.2 I used burrito root, but after the update to 6.3 I used the KFU. After you have installed the Google Market or Play, you can use Voodoo OTA to unroot your KF and watch instant video on Amazon. Look for nat3mil on you tube. He shows how it's done.

Hear hear. Nat3mil is the kindle fire god of youtube.

Kindle Keeps Unrooting

Hello,
I have rooted my kindle fire HD successfully twice now and after working well for a few days, it will unroot.
I used this process: http://androidforums.com/kindle-fire-hd-all-things-root/656683-root-kindle-fire-hd-7-a.html
I also used Kindle free to help install google services. I was going to install the paid version but if it keeps doing this I don't want to spend the money.
Why does it keep unrooting?
Thanks

Try and root it again and use this update-defeat script

I would go to the Kindle Fire FirstAide thread on here. You can run that and go back to 7.2.3 which will make flashing the 2nd bootloader and installing custom roms much less of a headache.

Kindle fire Gen 2 running 10.4.8

Hi all, I've been doing my research for nearly a week now on unleashing my kindle fire into a full android tab,
What I can't seem to find is any info on whether I can root, and install a kitkat style Rom onto my software version,
I don't just want go launcher I've decided I want a new os and I like the system on my HTC one so I'd go as close to that as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Will twrp, firefirefire and the kfu all work with my version? Many thanks

I second this link. I have now rooted and put a custom ROM on two Kindle Fire HDs and have a third on it's way. I am getting this for just over $50 on eBay because they are blacklisted and can't be registered with Amazon. I put CM 11 on them and love it, they are a true android tablet now.

I'm glad someone got some use out of the updated images.
