Were you successful using the Kindle Fire Utility script to root your Kindle Fire? Any of the versions?
The link to this utility is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
BTW... the actual POLL doesn't show in XDA Premium...
I was partially successful(my Kindle Fire got stuck in fastboot when installing TWRP, but I fixed it)

I was successful (using .8), but only after I manually installed the drivers using a different method. However, rooting the device and the rest of it worked fine.
Using 9.1 I think will solve the problems for those who read the instructions carefully.
reading carefully
read carefully. watched you tube carefully...still stuck on device offline. Hmm....
After days of trying...different computers ....driver issues.

It has only taken one attempt on all 3 of the Fires that I've used it to root.
Hi there,
at the moment i'm running cm7 on my kindle fire. now i have decided to sell it. therefore i like to reset it to the factory settings, but i have now clue how. any tipps?
thanks in advance!
I believe there are roms of the original kindle software out there that should work. If not, hopefully you did a backup before installing other roms

Use kindle fire utility
In KFU there is a function that allows u to download the stock.zip folder

Can I root from a 32bit Windows 7 Starter Netbook? I keep getting errors when trying to install drivers that say my system isn't compatible.
don't know why it should not work
maybe this helps:

I rooted mine from a netbook running win7 starter using the insructions from geek.com, google "how to root kindle fire" and it will be one of the first few results.

I was trying to get my Kindle Fire HD 7, getting it ready to sell (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435). But i've done something wrong, i have transfered the file to my Kindle, wipe everything expect sd. Afterwards i flashed the update 7.4.6 bin, and wipe the sd again. And rebooted my Kindle fire. And now its stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. HELP! I need fix this within the next 24 hours! I DO NOT have a fastboot cable either.
Does the logo ever turn blue? If it doesn't you will need a fastboot cable to fix.

No! it's just stuck on the orange logo. I dont have a fastboot cable, i'm selling this within the next 24 hours to someone. I need to get this fix ASAP!
Well unless you can make a fastboot cable with a soldering iron then your going to have some problems. I can try to see if you can get it into fastboot the way we do 8.9" models, but if you plug the device in and your PC doesn't detect a Tate device in the device manager then you will have to goto the fastboot cable method. If it does then try to quickly install the drivers in my signature. From there you would just need a command prompt and the fastboot command.

Proceeding at all with 7.4.7 is at own risk. I have a used tablet coming in the mail and will be here Tuesday. I will restore and test out rooting with binary and try some KFFA things with 7.4.7. I won't know anything until late Tuesday evening. Maybe someone will come along with some information before then. If not, I will let you know then.
Edit - Because this is possibly new hardwareI have edit my response to say just don't try it until you here from those who made the scripts give the all clear. I thought this was just an update to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD and the new Kindle Fire HD. This may not be the case. Until it gets sorted out, probably best to wait for the devs to sound off.

Yesterday I got a Kindle Fire HD 7" with Firmware Version 7.4.7. I tried to root this device, but I was not successful.
Is there anybody who was successful t root this device with version 7.4.7
If you have a factory cable you can downgrade and then root it? I'm running a custom ROM on my kfhd so can't help much for 7.4.7 sorry

How did you tried? Did it root? Did you have a factory cable?
Try this...
Get Bin4ry's root and extract the 'fakebackup.ab'. Get ADB set up and working and enter the following:
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
If the restore screen pops up, where it says "restore my data" at the bottom (don't press on it though), then there's a good chance they didn't patch the exploit. If the ADB restore hasn't been disabled, I would say go ahead and try to root it. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the factory cable still works though.
Confirmed as working

You can try again. One will install some launchers with it too. Be careful though. Using this tool on the 4th generations is not widely tested. Not that I know of anyway.

Hi, My kindle is not the newest one, so I assume it's normal Kindle fire HD 7'', I tried to run it another few times with different setups on my pc etc. same error every time. It's weird that it says it's rooted but I can't get most of the thing working, perhaps I should try to put in recovery, alt boot loader and install some different rom. But because I'm not confident about my root I rather use amazon-handicapped device than get a brick.
I would not proceed until your root is working properly. Sometimes the rooting process has to be repeated. You will want to get a fastboot cord just in case if you try to install ROM.
Just the other day I had to run root and restore 4 times before it took. Ended up I got the one that installs Apex launchers as well and just installed that afterward.

I just uninstalled the added launchers afterward that is.

You need a factory fastboot cord first. Use this tutorial to get TWRP/2nd bootloader installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Hi, to install 2nd bootloader and twrp and then cm11 factory cable isn't needed. Kffa want downloading files to downgrade to7.2.3 so I got it manually inhaled then twrp and cm11 no problem. But then cm11 started crashing so I rebooted kindle butit dinner start, in twrp it reported that storage can't be mounted, I have pushed Rom using adb but it wouldn't install due to storage issue soI used that tool to recover kindle but after successful installation I got into a reboot loop. Factory reset cable is already ordered. After cm 11 issues I don't know if I'll try it again.
