Just unroot after you are happy with your 'tweaks'. I unrooted after making updates to add Google Apps, Market fix, and other apps requiring SU to install. After unroot I can now stream Amazon VOD again. All 'tweaks' work fine after unroot (except apps that require SU to access some functions such as Root Explorer).

6.3.1 update is being pushed

Warning to all of those still running the stock Rom, amazon is pushing a new update and as usual it breaks your root.

Just got my refurby one, Left mine on my table while getting root instructions. Rebooted automatically. Should have turned wifi off. Damnit. Still got Google framework but market force closes

updated to 6.3.1 and used kindle utility to root and flash rom

Hey, anybody know what new content Amazon has included in the update?

Software update 6.3.1 "brings additional parental controls to Kindle Fire, including the ability to password-protect purchases, disable access to specific content libraries, and block access to the Silk Web browser," according to Amazon.

Rooted no more after only one day. I've had my Kindle for a month and took me this long to take the plunge to root.
Back to square one! Does KFU .9.5 work as before?

Tried rooting through the 3.x method, got stuck on the kindle fire logo on one command and nothing happened for minutes. Reset, nothing. No light whatsoever. Bricked. Damn.

not bricked, you are in fastboot mode, flash recovery, flash firefirefire and set the bootmode back to 4000
Kindle Fires are damn near impossible to brick.

GPlay on KF???

IS there any way to get Google Play on an unrooted Kindle Fire?
I don't want to flash a ROM.
I'm just looking for a way to download it on my KF.

No, not unrooted. But you do not need to install a ROM to get Google Play. You just need to root it.

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

If anyone needs help with this new update and rooting and 2nd bootloader stuff still, this is how I did it:
Use kindle fire first aide (available here on xda) to reset your device to stock Amazon 7.2.3. Obviously backup whatever you don't want to lose first with your preferred backup method. Make sure to also disable ota updates also before you proceed.
Once you're back to (pre rooted!) Stock, sideload the fireflash.apk (do a search on xda to find the app) use the directions on that thread to get yourself setup with a 2nd bootloader and twrp recovery in like two clicks of an app. If you can't find the thread, just let me know and I'll provide links. Just MAKE SURE you flash the 7.2.3 bootloader
That fireflash comes with before you flash the new boot.img and twrp recovery. It's such an easy method, and you can find all the tools you need via searching xda for fire flash, followed by hashcode's 2nd bootloader thread. 7.3.0 freedom boot (nevermind that your bootloader won't match, it should be 7.2.3 and freedom boot should be 7.3.0, and twrp 2.4.4.0. Make sure all your boxes are checked, flash the files AFTER YOU FLASH THE 7.2.3 BOOTLOADER!! And you should be all set. From there you can even flash newer Amazon updates if you like via twrp. feel free to contact me with any questions, and major shout outs to the devs who made these apps and programs available to us.
P.S make sure you read the instructions for fireflash.apk on its page so you're familiar. This way always works for me to get around anything Amazon, but you do of course run risks when altering stock software. I highly recommend buying a fast-boot(factory) cable just to make sure you can always restore stock using KFFA if something goes wrong. I got mine from xda member SkOrPn, and I fully suggest if you don't own one get one first. Better safe than stuck waiting 3 days on a cable to save you!

see my previous post
Here are all the files.actually steps: KFFA to revert to 7.2.3, sideload fireflash and get it opened. You will see a red warning message that you have the wrong bootloader. Flash the one they offer. Reboot kindle (I do, May not be necessary). Load the other files onto your kindle, freedom boot and twrp. Open fireflash again, and match up boot.img and twrp where they obviously go in fireflash, flash the files, and boot into recovery :good: good luck! Hope this helps anyone in that boat

Whenever I attempt to restore the update to a previous version in KFFAide the command window stays at "daemon started successfully" and does not progress beyond that point. Any advice? This happens for any option I choose in KFFAide.

I actually have not tried updating KFFA since I installed it originally, so I can't say what the problem might be. I suggest posting on the first aide thread with your question, and looking for similar posts with solutions over there. The community on here is wonderful, and I'm sure you can find a fix on there it you try

Have you tried fire first aide to root that's what I use and it works
