Complete Video Guide and troubleshooting for root,market,recovery,etc...

I see many people having issues that are new to this kind of thing and here is a fairly simple troubleshooting guide that I have compiled that I think will help many of you get through rooting, Installing the Market, and installing twrp with no problems. This is a complete video walk through for those of you find the videos easier. I recommend that you watch the videos thoroughly before attempting this so that you can be sure that you make no mistakes…!!!
• Start off with a stock Kindle on original 6.2.1fw
• Go to this link for a video walkthrough to root the Kindle with Jcase’s Burrito root. All of the links are in the description of this video to do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KapnjR89ICA
• Now to install the android Market this is another video walkthrough that is from the same person once again all of the links are in the video description for downloading what it is that you need to perform this action http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...tion_598718&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&v=rTkegVrnAvA
• Now to install a custom recovery (aka twrp2.0) this is also another video walkthrough also made from the same individual. Once again all of the files needed are in the video description http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&src_vid=KapnjR89ICA&feature=iv&v=JqKZLMaRSgc
• I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:
cd c:\KindleADB to get into adb shell
adb devices to make sure your kindle is connected properly
adb root to get proper permissions
• Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.
• I have also noticed that some people also get stuck at 3:55 in this video at the firefire triangle. The fix for this is fairly easy and is explained in the video if you need a walkthrough step by step for doing this (Updating the drivers)here you go:
- Go to start Menu and right click on computer, Click manage
- In computer Management hit device manager
- I am guessing that you see your kindle connected in there with a yellow ! by it
- Right click on kindle and update driver software
- Click Browse my computer for driver software
- Click let me pick from the list of device drivers on my comp
- Click Next
- Click Have Disk
- Click Browse
- Navigate to your user folder in that window/ or wherever your .android folder is
- Double click on .android folder
- Double click on Driver Folder
- Now Click open
- Now click ok
- Click Next
- ClickInstall driver software anyway
• If you also need a link for installing cm7 here is another video to do so also by the same individual. I do not recommend this as of yet until all of the bugs are worked out in this as I have heard many people have had problems with video playback or sound (mainly in ics) and usually end up flashing back to a custom rom anyway. It is your device though so it is completely up to you

UPDATE JANUARY 3rd 2012
• Here is a link for a newer rom install called MIUI. This Rom is very smooth and the only thing confirmed not working at the moment (January 2, 2012 is video playback. There are however some individuals working on this issue and will hopefully have video working soon. Thanks to leeech for the MIUI port and nat3mil for the video. Here is the link for the easy to follow video tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=OqiX-If5w_4&NR=1
• Here is link on how to resize your internal storage (aka custom partitioning). This is called FireParted made by eldarerathis. This is good for those of you that think that they have too much storage in one place and not enough in another. Playing with partitions can cause you to lose data that is not backed up previously to editing partitions, so use at your own risk. I myself am going to use this to expand the storage on my sd card. Here is the easy to follow video tutorial.

Update January 7th 2012 This is a program to fix boot loop Problems easily (For Windows Only)
I noticed that many people are still having problems with getting stuck in a recovery boot loop, firefirefire boot loop (Yellow Triangle), Or even the kindle fire boot loop. This is a program to fix it automatically like the kindle fire Utility. I believe that it was made by Zombiepiratez, and he made this to change all of the headaches that many people are having with bootloop problems, proper file permission problems, and bricking problems, so be sure to thank him if this helps you. Once again this is a batch file made only for windows so for those of you that are not on windows, I will leave the common manual fixes below. Here is the link to his thread and download for the Fire Utility Unbrick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also heard of the problem with some people getting caught in a boot loop and see a constant Kindle Fire boot screen. To fix this you must open up your cmd and type:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also for people getting caught in a recovery boot (whenever they turn on their kindle they boot into recovery without hitting the power button do this in your cmd:
adb shell
su
idme bootmode 4000
reboot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that this clears up a lot of confusion for some of you weary of trying to do this to your kindle fire. I did all of this manually with my first Kindle. I have also used this method to be sure that it works and any problems that might come about when using this method and I have confirmed this to be successful. I really wanted to post this guide because I know that it is easier for some of you people new to this to follow along with a video. I know that some people say well there are a lot of tutorials out there but not one with a step by step and video links for a walk-through to do this whole procedure. If a mod could please sticky this I am sure that many would be greatful!!!
Remember that there is a thanks button…
DO not forget those who made this all possible:
Thanks to Jcase for Burrito Root & Vashypooh For KFU v.0.9.1 I would recommend that any of you that enjoy this and would like to see more mods such as these come out, to donate to these devs..

Thanks for the post. Really helped me out. Now that I have twrp 2.0 installed...
1.) how do I make a back up file (in case something happens when i try to flash a rom) so i can restore and recover to where i am at now
2.) once i do make a back up file, where is it saved and how would i access it, if i wanted to recover and restore.
3.) when i rooted my phone and flashed a new rom i had to use titanium back up to save all my apps and information. if i wanted to flash cm7, do i need to install titanium back up and do the same thing as i did on my phone or is the sd card untouched during the flashing process and all apps will remain?
Thanks

I was worried about doing this but now that I read your guide and seen the videos I am going to give this a try when I get settled in. Thank You!

I got a question as well
After installing the twrp2.0, what will happen to my Kindle? Does that mean the device is already rooted and good to go?
If I don't install the cm7, what can I do with the rooted KF?

You have to root the kindle before you can install the TWRP. the twrp 2.0 is used when you want to flash a rom and a few other things, (i think) you wont be able to install the twrp with out rooting first

I do believe that how to make a backup is on the install twrp2.0 video (the third one). I do not believe that you will have to install titanium backup like you do on your phone. I also do not believe that the sd card gets touched in the flashing process...

If you follow this guide in the order which was given everything will work out great after the first video your kindle will be Rooted. Twrp is really for creating a backup of your kindle in the current state and flashing different roms such as cm7 or ics... There are many things that you can do with a rooted Kindle really too many to name. You can run different market for starters which will give you more of a selection than what amazon has to offer. I did not mean to sound as if cm7 is not a good thing to use it is just not as stable as it could be and ics is still in the process of being worked on. I will be flashing to a different rom myself such as cm7 or cm9 or ics once they are stable with little or no bugs...

Awesome! Thanks again. I should be all set. one last question and I promise I am done bugging. if you install cm7 rom will you still get OTA updates that amazon sends out. I know on the most recent OTA update, it unrooted the kindle. As of now i am just rooted with go launcher running and i dont feel like trying to reroot if another update comes out. so if i flash to cm7 will i still receive these updates? I know this is the wrong thread for this but just thought you might know.
Thanks again for your help.. definite sticky

From what I understand if you are on a different rom such as cm7 you will not recieve a ota update, i could be wrong so do not quote me on that. I have however heard of people installing a modified 6.2.1 update that will help them update from the old fw to the previous one, so for them to have not gotten the update they must have either been using cm7 or turned their wifi off completely until they found a sure fix. Do a little searching on older threads you might find something when you do post back to this thread but make sure that you are sure that it does work as I would not like to have any mis-information in this thread... Thanks

Edited the quote for my own amusement.
What all do you use your KF for? I use mine while at work to keep from lugging my Mac around. Also for the occasional updates (socialnetworking=SN) and emailing.
Another question I would like to know is the types of differences there are when running alternatives in the ROM Dept.....fluid transitions, non changing wallpapers, and the like?

Can't give you a thanks yet because of low post count, but this is exactly the sort of thing someone needed to do.

I got home at 8:00 this morning and took a nap. I could not even sleep because I was so anxious to do this to my Kindle Fire, so I decided to get up from 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and give this a shot. This was by far the best guide that I have seen to rooting the Kindle and I pulled it all off flawlessly. Thank you so much for posting this. I did have a few issues when trying to download the recovery file through Kindle Fire Utility, but I followed the guide to a tee and it worked for me perfectly!
I would thank you but I do not have enough posts to do so I hope that this thread gets pinned just in case I have some friends that need a sure fire way to do what I am about to show off to them.

Got my Kindle Fire Stuck in a bootloop.
This thread helped me a lot, now it's fixed!
Thanks a lot!

guides and explanations
Its good to see your hints, because all those really awsome videos have their traps and you can easily get trapped on it, as i did and i had a hard time to find the right way.
My secret for this is to fully understand why you have to do this and that, and here all the guides lack, because there is no explanation WHY you have to do this.
This needs more love. I was successful, because i know from my old background how a chmod works, why i had to install the drivers again and so on but it really took me a while to get this all done, because i didnt read this thread in time.
I also understand that developers are excited about their custom roms and the cyanogenMod, but really who wants to have a kindle fire without sound and a mod with so many bugs ?
I am so happy to have my kindle fire rerooted again after the latest update without opening it or using a special cable.
So this all works quite well, but the guides really need some more explanations to get a deeper understanding about what we are doing here.
I am still working on that, to learn the details.
I want to say a big thank you to all who invested their free time and to spread the knowledge about this awsome device and make the kindle fire a really usefull tablet.
Please keep on the good work ! And have fun with a fully rooted device. There are so many possibilities now !

I am glad to see that you got through this flawlessly. This thread was made just for that very reason to help the lesser experienced user with any issues they might encounter without having to post threads that may get lost in all of the other "Help Me" threads...
If there is a mod that could please sticky this thread I do believe this will answer many questions for individuals and help new users pull off a flawless root, recovery, etc...

+1 on stickying this thread. I have just been pointing people having the same basic problems here. This thread (especially the OP) seems to be helping a lot of people who need help "filling in the blanks".
Good job [-_-]!

I have also directed many of my friends to this thread and they have also gotten through their minor problems. It is kind of funny because a lot of my friends tell me I think my kindle is bricked I just laugh say I doubt it and send them here. Can you also make a guide about going from cm7 back to a the amazon rom please. I put cm7 on my kindle and did not like it so I flashed badk and hit reboot and now I just keep booting up in recovery is there a way to get out of that?

Yes this will work...
1.Plug in USB cable to Kindle Fire on TWRP Recovery mode.
2.Bring up Command Prompt.
3.Key in adb shell.
4.Key in idme bootmode 4000.
5.Finally, key in reboot.
There you go..!!!

Great tutorial setup. Rooted, installed Android Market as mentioned without any issues. Have not installed the Recovery yet though.
Thanks for this thread.

Great guide for noobs (like myself) to root Kindle

How's it going everyone. I just want to thank everyone for all their help and for putting up with me the past few days. I've been bugging everyone with question after question on how to root my kindle. When I first got my Kindle I knew I wanted to root it and have access to the android market and eventually flash some new roms so I hoped right over to the XDA site. When I got on the site, I was a little overwhelmed with all the information out there on what to do and how to get started. I was reading things like the Burrito root, utility, twrp, ect...
Well, I thought I'd try and help anyone who is in the same boat I was in. I was finally able to root my kindle last night with the help Jayceooi.
The steps that I took and the steps that might be easiest for people new to rooting:
I used the Kindle Fire Utility v.9.1 to root my device, install twrp (which is used if you want to back up your system, flash a rom, restore back to stock, ect.. its recommended to install), and install the android market and go launcher. My thanks goes out to the Jcase and Vashypooh.
1.) Before you try and use the KFU v.9.1 make sure you have the ADB driver installed (properly) and is running when the kindle is connected to the PC
I used Jayceooi's and adb driver file link (not the one that comes in the KFU zip) to install my driver. On his guide he states - "Why not use install driver feature in Kindle Fire Utility? There is an issue on Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1. It will replace Kindle Fire USB Mass Storage driver. So you can’t use USB Mass Storage mode anymore if you install driver with Kindle Fire Utility." (Might be why alot of people are having problems trying to root)
2.) Once the driver is installed, then run the KFU v.9.1 and selection option 3. Hit enter and the utility does the rest.
3.) Intall TWRP - plug kindle back in and run KFU v.9.1 and selection option 5. Hit enter again and the utility will do most of the work. Make sure you read everything during the installation and wait until you hit reboot and see the yellow triangle before you press a key to continue. (watch the video in the link below and you will see what I mean.)
4.) Next I installed the android market, google apps, go launcher from the Utility too. Like i said, that utility is tits! run the utility again and select option 6 (extras) then 2 and it will do the rest.
This may be a redundant thread and get pushed out and I know a lot of the experienced guys might laugh at how lame, but If I had something like this to follow it would have really helped me out and saved alot of time. The guide that Jayceooi does is really nice and easy to follow.
I think the the installation of the correct driver is the biggest thing and what causes the most problems for people. so if you get that right, you should be in good shape. just follow the guides and it shouldn't be to hard
Step 1.) Install Kindle Fire ADB usb driver - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver-video/
Step 2.) Root kindle - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-root-kindle-fire-with-burritoroot-video/
Step 3.) Install TWRP - http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-twrp-2-0-recovery-on-kindle-fire-video/

Thanks a lot!
This is surely helpful for a newbie like myself

I hope it helps... from jumping from thread to thread in this forum, the biggest issue i was seeing the most was getting the correct driver to install. just make sure you get that step down and it should be pretty easy... knock on wood

I'm not really a noob per-say, been around a good while actually. But your point in this post about the correct driver and you bringing everything together for a very easy to follow guide really did help. Thanks!
I actually had a weird issue where I wasn't seeing a yellow triangle for the ADB driver and just couldn't get root to take. Updating it did the trick (It needs to say 'Android Composite ADB Interface')
Yay! My backup just finished and I'm not stuck with a yellow sign. Success.

just got my KF today and I'll try this out tomorrow when i can get to my friends windows computer (virtualbox on my Mac doesnt like me.....)

You should be able to use the KFU to install the android market. once your plug the kindle into the pc and the driver is installed properly, run KFU v.9.1 Select option 6 (extras) then select option 2 (Google apps / go launcher) KFU should do the rest. If you want to manually downloand use this link http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...t=Click Here&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13252517466081

for some reason my Mac wont recognize my KF and my VirtualBox Windows won't either so i have to wait for a bit....

EDIT: nevermind
next issue, whenever i go into the Devices and Printers menu and then to the Kindle and into Properties, it only lists USB Composite Device. Could this be because i am trying to do this on an Windows 7 VirtualBox setup and not through a true W7 computer?

Glad it helped. Jayceooi did an awesome job. Like i said before, if you get the driver installed correctly the rest is a piece of cake

the driver was annoying cuz i tried to do it through a VirtualBox virtual machine but when i would plug it into my MacbookPro, i would have to unmount it from there and then it wouldnt recognize it properly in the Windows VM so i had to wait to get to a friends computer but it"s all good now

stuck at triangle
Got the triangle screen and following instructions in guides are not fixing it. Heres my scenario. I got my kindle with 6.2 on it. Got it rooted, installed market and go launcher and was great. Then the update of course came thru and broke root. Still been able to download market apps and use go launcher. So I followed this guide to regain root and install twrp. It says root is successful, but superuser force closes everytime trying to open or use it. I can open my tibu and root explorer and everything still gave me root access. Went and changed the MarketIntentProxy.apk to MarketIntentProxy.apk.bak so market links go to market by default. That worked. Noticed that all amazon apps downloaded have a default amazon icon. Thought nothing of it. Went to install twrp anyway. Stuck at triangle now. Followed all instructions to fix and the KFU keeps flashing error device not found constantly and device status unknown. What happened?

[Q] Screen Capturing Kindle Fire

Is there any app that doesn't. Require root to take a screenshot on the fire?. I pratctically gave up on rooting. Since I cant install drivers yea I looked at the list on installing drivers still don't see how to fix the google Inc unassigned error on kindle fire tility. Jdk wont install when I tried rooting with Sdk manager. So please don't post about rooting unless there is a way to fix the problem that I can get a thorough understanding.

Screenshots
Hi.
You can do it without rooting, but you do need to dig deep into computer stuff
Heres the guide
If you root and put a custom rom on, it's as easy as pressing a button.
Kindle Fire Utility is easy to use, just make sure you have ADB!
PM if you need help with that!
Good Luck!

Yes you can as long as ADB still recognizes your Kindle. Here is a link to a post when I had the same issue. Use the tool provided by onmelia(make sure you thank him or donate) and follow his instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097196 There is also another link that is for Kindle Fire for Begginers that explains a lot and was very helpful to me when I had the same problem:good:

Optic_Vithu said:
As we all know Kindle fire hd is a great device I rooted my Kindle Last week and i had google play store and everything on it. I really wanted the Voice search from previous other forums turned out it was possible if you spoof your device. with the build.prop file found in the system folder. i didnt know how to do it so i searched build.prop on Playstore installed an app which optimizes it all by a button. after i optimized it i rebooted the device. And now im stuck on the boot Animation screen all i can do it turn it on and off.:crying::crying::crying::crying: I understand you need a factory cable to fix it. Which is already bought of the internet today and waiting for delivery soon. For some reason i still got a conenction with my kindle through ADB. Is there any way i can unbrick my device i am willing to take the biggest risks since Amazon already said they will send me a new one.
Please Help me

Optic_Vithu,
I am sorry we were not available when this first happened, we could have gotten you in business in less than 10 - 15 minutes.
We have a utility that completely automates the recovery process, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
We are offering images with several options next week like Google Play Store, Google Apps, Apex Launcher, etc.
The other option if you prefer to do it command line, onemeila has a great how to as well, just Search for Kindle Fire Recovery.

Anyway to downgrade from 7.4.8

Today I just scored a Kindle Fire HD 1st Gen (at least I think so). The back say Model Number X43Z60.
I have been studying this thread http;//wwwforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909&nocache=1
+Note: As of Amazon OS update 7.3.x+, there has been a lot of issues with rooting and flashing the 2nd-bootloader. Many users reported bootloops during the completion of the guide. Those with tablets running 7.3.0 or higher, please proceed with caution, and make sure you have a factory cable on hand if you wish to advance. I strongly recommend you make backups in Step 2. If you want guaranteed success, use this tool to revert back to 7.2.3 before using the guide. You will need to flash a brand-new 7.2.3 on top to revert, so you will lose everything if you don't backup your files first.

Will the tool in the section above allow me to downgrade from 7.4.8?
Also are there any guides floating around on how to make a fast boot cable?
I have a cord factory cord that I had made for my Motorola would that work?

I feel like a complet idiot for even posting that, after a bit of research I found this method (check it out) which a few people had confirmed that it work on the newest Kindle OS which shortly after I posted my Kindle updated to (7.4.9).
A lot of clicking later and my fire is running CM flawlessly!

I had the same one and just followed the tut to backup, then install bootloader and then flashed rom. Didn't downgrade and it all went fine.
