first thing is to go in to the tablet settings and make sure "unknown sources" is checked, or you won't be able to install the apk. Then the best thing you could do is to use the browser on the tablet to download the iconiaroot apk, then once you have downloaded it you can click on it in the downloads to run it (instead of loading it through your PC)
Your next step should be to do the same thing with a market apk (google it and I'm sure you can find it) and get yourself a file manager, it will make future such things much easier.
Thanks, Unknown sources are checked and I also tried direct download to Tablet. But After Download, it doesn't install. Says can't open.
So plz inform, what to do next ???
Did you download an apk file? or a zip of an apk file? if it isn't the apk itself it won't work.
If you did get the apk, then I'm not really sure... maybe someone else has an idea? the other option would be to start by flashing a stock ROM from this thread to make sure you are starting from the same place as everyone else (if you want root stick to one of the HC3.1 series, I'd recommend 4.010.38)
Finally i got what i want with the help of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878...

Well, it seems that the new update (as mentioned in a previous thread), breaks the current root.
I was looking to see if anyone can provide a step by step tutorial on how to successfully install CM7 onto their Kindle Fire. I have tried in the past (few days ago really, but "past" sounds so cool to say), and it failed. Are there any tutorials, other than the original, that are easy to understand and help install CM7?
I'd greatly appreciate your help!
Background: Not a total newb on computers, but not a total vet using cmd and/or Android devices... I currently have 3-4 Apple devices with iOS and jailbroken. I am fairly comfortable with messing with my devices.
I'm a newbie to rooting and CM7 but I managed fine by following the main threads in the developers forum and the videos on kindlefirewire.com
Use the .zips and files contained in the main thread and make sure you follow those commands (I think they are the same, but just to be safe)
When you root, make sure you install BusyBox when SuperOneClick asks to - you will need it later. I didn't have the 'cp' command without it. So you might need to root again before installing CM7 just to make sure.
In the CM7 thread, follow the steps to install the google apps - it was a lot more effort to get the Market back on the KF without doing so (I had to push dropbox and ES Explorer to the device first).
Edit: I should note that I did all this with 6.2 before the 6.2.1 update came out. If you've got the new update in your KF I would wait until a workable root solution is found.
Here follow this guide
http://liliputing.com/2011/12/amazon-releases-kindle-fire-6-2-1-software-breaks-root.html
Thanks a lot for both of your helps!
So this worked for me with the Softwareversion 7.2.2 !
Step 1 use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and use the normal method.
(the program will say that the process has not worked but this it all ok) now the Kindle is very slow
and the display is blinking.
Step 2 now you use the Quemu Method for the 7.2.1 version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
That was all and now you should have root!! n
*Update: This works also with the 7.2.3 Software version i only used the 1 Step ( Root many Androids )

Does this work with KF2 (non HD?)
I just used the 1st step. No need for 2nd step my device is rooted again! You're the MAN!
Isn't this the same tool used to root the 8.9? But we use option 2 with the tool instead of option 1.

Root for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.2
Thanks to natorus87!:good:
Step 1 Use "Root MANY ANDROID!" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460 and use the Normal Method. Pay attention, at some point you will have to respond to a "Restore" dialog box on the Kindle itself. Ignore any errors. The Kindle will reboot and now responds Slowly.
Step 2 Use "Qemu automated root" http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 and allow the process to complete.
Step 3 Launch Apps-Superuser to initialize Superuser.apk
That was all you now have Root.
KFHD7 7.2.2 re-root successful!
Worked for me also on previously Qemu rooted KFHD7 recently OTA updated to 7.2.2.
I also had to use both steps. Serious brownshorts minute between steps 1 and 2 as it set there frozen and seemingly bricked.
Thanks

Hey, appreciate this, but when I click on your link it takes me to another xda page with several links. Nowhere does it show "step 1." Can you be kind enough to cut and paste the specific step? Thanks.

I registered only to say ... YOU ARE THE MAN!
A BIG, FAT thanks to you, dude!
This works for KF2 as well. Just Step 1 will do. The ADB in the zip file is not updated, so you have to download the newest SDK and then copy all the files from /platform-tools/ to /stuff/ in the unzipped location (overwrite all existing files) and run the batch file after.
ADB install still doesn't work after. So install a file explorer direct from the Kindle and do all the necessary there.
What a great news before the Chritsmas!
As exactly you described, after step 1, the system became kind of slow. I didn't bother to check if it was back to root and just ran step 2; then the system is back to charming as before. Thank you!
PS: I personally feel that 7.2.2 is smoother and faster than 7.2.1.
Yeah the rooting process hasn't changed since the last update, no need for extra/changed steps.
can someone make a system.img of 7.2.2 stock or something. i tried to flash 7.2.1 back and it seems to wreck it.
Thank you!
Worked great! Had to do both steps. Does it matter that I now have both SuperSU and Superuser? Only have the option to remove superuser and not superSU.
Thanks again

ADB not recognising device
For anyone else who may have had the same problem as me,
I had to move the ADB files over from the original SDK becuse the adb files within qemu and bin4ry's exploit didn't recognise my device.
The first part was easy, removed the adb file from binary's root and replaced it with the adb file from SDK.
The second part was not so easy.
I had to manually to the qemu root process by creating a new file. (The full cmd version is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838)
I had to copy the adb file and the AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from the SDK into a new folder. the added the su and superuser.apk files into it aswell.
Hope this helps anyone else that had my problem!
Sorted!
Worked like a charm.
Registered just to say thanks.
Now for Droidwall to stop this happening again........
Hey,
I'm looking to purchase the Kindle fire HD 7 for my girlfriend. I'm going to be under the assumption it will be up to date or will automatically update to 7.2.2. So can I use these steps to root 7.2.2 or would I have to follow the steps for rooting 7.2.1 as shown here beforehand? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891939
Many thanks and well done to the community!

Being that your friend is bad with technology, he might prefer having a NST running 1.1.2 rooted than 1.2 rooted, as side-loading anything on 1.2 post rooting is kind of tedious.
Would this work? http://lifehacker.com/5889158/turn-a-99-nook-into-a-fully-fledged-android-tablet-in-four-easy-steps It says That it will work on any firmware. Is that true?

I think that won't work. You need to use tinynoot or Nookmanager to root 1.2.0. I think it would be better for your friend to roll back to an older version like 1.1.0 so it is easier to install apps.
And how exactly would he be able to do that? Thanks.

I.
- get a micro sd card
- install CWR on it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360994&highlight=cwr )
download : http://code.google.com/p/nst-recovery/downloads/list
- copy 'nook_1_1_update_cwm.zip' ti msdcard
- copy 'MinimalTouch 1.1beta5' to msdcard ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748&highlight=cwr )
II . now using CWR
- wipe data/cache partition
- install 'nook_1_1_update_cwm.zip'
- boot the nook
- register your device
- download 1.1.2 update ( http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/n...XTLrBeYy5CHbHS264o9Ujsh/nook_1_1_2_update.zip )
- put the update file onto your nook (internal memory)
- put your device to sleep
- wait for the update to end
III
back to CWR
- 'install zip from SD card'. First 'MinimalTouch 1.1beta5_START'.
- boot the nook
- do the Youtube, gmail registration thing ( follow the instructions)
- install 'MinimalTouch 1.1beta5_END'
- DONE!
now you should have a FW 1_1_2 Rooted Nook with market working.
- Now head to this thread in choose one of the kernels that allows Multitouch, NoRefresh and FastMode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906507
- from my expirience this one is the most stable one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1379995&d=1349510309
it works with Multitouch, NoRefresh, USB-Host and FastMode.
-install it using ADB ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24168019#post24168019 )
- if you don't want to use/configure ADB... you can install different kernel with '.zip' extension using CWR (try v 166)
[to get ADB working use any tutorial you can find in google/yandex/baidu etc.
eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387527]
- That is it.. to get 'NoRefresh' to work you have to install NoRefreshToggle
https://github.com/marspeople/NoRefreshToggle/downloads
- to get FastMode, install FastMode.apk ( if you use img file get it from one of the 'zip' files)
If you use 'zip' files..apk installs itself.
- to get USB-Host to work .. install NullKbd.apk and USB-Mode.apk from Renate's site
http://d-h.st/users/Renate/?fld_id=3860#files
Uff... next time...look for the answers on the forum before asking on a new thread (lurk moar).
thanks
P.S.. when you are done.. install 'Legacy_Launcher' and remove 'ADW_Launcher'
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.legacylauncher&hl=en
the latest 'ADW_Launcher' update looks terrible on NOOK.. and the market.apk will suggest that you can update the 'ADW_Launcher'.
You can also try to use 'ReLaunch' as your default launcher
https://github.com/yiselieren/ReLaunch/downloads
- To search for Apk's in Market use SearchMarket.apk
latest version
