Okay well I got a Kindle fire and I was trying to root it last night and It rooted successfully then I was trying to instal TWRP and the kindle became Unresponsive and now the only thing on the Kindle screen is the Kindle Fire Logo and I can't access the kindle fire itself. I'm trying to fix this problem but I just can't do it myself since I have never rooted a Kindle fire before I need some Expert help Via Teamviewer. Any help please contact me via PM or Skype " MrGreenCrack "
I'm trying to get it to work and add CM7 but at this point the Kindle is unresponsive and with my knowledge in rooting I might as well get a new one lol So please help me all help is appreciated.

No, probably not a standard way. I have done two, one using this method with the changes for 6.2.2 (burrito2).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417234
The information in the video description gives information on what you have to do differently for 6.2.2
I also rooted using the KFU, but that script also has to be modified to support 6.2.2 and you need to have the burrito2.bin file.
I believe the new way to root is using burrito3 but I can not speak from experience on b3, never used it.
allthrough it is mainly about driver you can do all the things you want with kfu
look at this post to avoid potential problems:

It was removed because it is based on stolen work.
I have looked through the discussions on how to root the fire, but I am a COMPLETE novice, and some of the abbreviations and screen shots are confusing to me. What I need is step-by-step directions (with limited abbreviations) to teach me how to root my Kindle Fire. If this is already out there in a thread, I'm happy to be directed to it.
Thank you so much in advance!!
you just need one tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract it to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" so that it is c:\kfu
please read the op of kfu carefully and take a look at this post from dev of kfu:

Check out nat3mil on YouTube as well if you want a video walk through. I don't know how many times I watched his demo before rooting my fire but it made it a lot easier! Good luck!

Thank you!
Thank you! I will be researching this and trying it this week!!
kfu is one of the easiest utilities to use. It worked flawless for me!
Guys, I contacted jcase to make our plea & after initial digging, he kindly got with xda member fi01 & we now have root, once it was compiled by Besups! It only took them 2 days, probably less, but I contacted him this weekend & boy have they come through!
Read the thread, hit thanks & make sure these greats know how much they are truly appreciated!
Three cheers for fi01, jcase & Beaups!

This is great news! Just in time for the long holiday. Is this flashed through stock recovery? If so, how do we get to it on the HDX?
Sorry if this is a stupid question
I'm new to the Kindle scene (but am loving my HDX 8.9). Does having root mean that I will be able to install the Google Play Store?

Great job,thanks to them.hope custom firmware will be available soon

Cool! Looks like a little more help might be needed for the HD7 (2nd Gen), but it's a start.

guess i can go ahead and buy the kfhdx 8.9 4G on either black friday/cyber monday and have fun for the holidays!!
root now followed by a custom rom or two later, merry xmas to all..
yipeee!!! hurrayyyy!!!
Versions
Just to clarify the version situation, the Kindle Fire HDX 8" is 14.3.1.0, and the HDX 7" is 13.3.1.0
Did root access fix the issues with wallpapers and widgets not working or is it more complicated than that?
Great news, do you think this exploit can be modified to root the kindle fire 7" HD 2013? Holding thumbs here :good:
Any word on root for hdx 7?
He's working on it. Go to the dev thread and see for yourself.
Thanks. I am keeping a check on it :fingers-crossed:. The time posted on the forums is not correct so i do not know correct time stuff is posted.

Thank you!
Thanks, kindle is perfect.
Just in case Amazon fixes the exploit in an update I have blocked the update servers from getting through my router.
The IPs below are the update servers in case anyone else wants to block them.
Code:
72.21.194.208
176.32.100.136
72.21.195.233
If you have a dd-wrt router just add this to your firewall
Code:
iptables -I FORWARD -d 72.21.194.208 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -d 176.32.100.136 -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -d 72.21.195.233 -j DROP
This is wonderful. Please don't forget hdx 7". If you need any info please let me know

Look into the Android development. Root for HDX 7" is already working for me. ADB method worked like a charm, even though it does not seem that way from what the command prompt says. Use the root checker. A very big thanks for everyone involved.
Just a little advice for everyone. You may need to install superuser and busybox from 1mobile.
Hello, can someone tell me what I need to build Lineage OS for the Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation? The Kindle Fire 8 HD 8th Generation is a unsupported device. What do I need to do to get it supported? I'm looking at building just a unofficial version for myself.
Thanks

It is very difficult since there is no ROM for MT8163.
First you should start by extracting the device tree and the vendor blobs ..
Ok that's what I needed it is a starting point I will get on that!
Thanks
After I get the blobs then?
Thanks

I'm going to be sincere with you. I was just like you, I wanted to compile a ROM for MT8163 but after reading what had to be done, I decided not to try it, its very difficult..
If you really want help, @diplomatic will help you more than me.
I would really appreciate an LOS version for the 8th gen Kindle 8 HD. Would donate.
ROM?

What ROM will work with Fire 8 8th gen? I haven't been able to find any after rooting it...
Anyone who wants custom roms for the HD8 should donate to ggow! He's proven to have skill (created several other roms) and has expressed a willingness to work on the HD8. We just need to get a device into his hands.

What are you talking about? :laugh:
The fact that k4y0z is working on the HD10? There is still the HD8. And k4y0z even chimes in to say that both devices could benefit from ggow working on it. The only mess in the thread is the off topic posts which you often see here.
