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:

in case you have troubles with the drivers:

good luck !
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!

kfu is one of the easiest utilities to use. It worked flawless for me!

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?
I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.
Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.
Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

That's the point. Go read and learn something instead of being lazy. The scripts being posted earlier were screwing up people's phones. I'll also add the wiki to the OP.

Is there a linux version of this? I've had trouble with Wine and I'd rather not risk running the Windows .exe on Linux.

The .exe of what? Have you read the thread? If you did, you'd know the RUU or the HTC sync exe is not a required step.
adb works on linux without drivers.
Updates this thread, please unpin it and pin the thread this thread links to. Thanks.
hi, kindle fire is my first tablet and today i've decided to root it. in the developer sub-forum there are a lot of post about how to root the fire... the question is: is there a standard procedure to root it?

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 was wondering if someone would please make a tutorial video on how to root the kindle fire v6.2.2 using a Mac. It would really help me out a lot. I'm just not comfortable enough to root it without a video. And also maybe a video on how to install TWRP for Mac. If someone could make or show me a good tutorial it would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
AustinFire

Thanks so much! I got it rooted and TWRP 2.0 is installed!
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!

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.
