Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 Problem + Solution

Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 Problem + Solution - Kindle Fire General

I would post this in the Development forum, but I'm still a noob, so forum rules won't let me. Sorry about that; this seems the best place to try it.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I recently downloaded the Kindle Fire Utility (KFU) to root my Kindle Fire, and proceeded down the list. Everything went find and ducky until I tried to run "run.bat." Then I got the error message:
***********************************************
* Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5 *
***********************************************
*Donate on XDA if you appreciate my hard work!*
***********************************************
\Kindle was unexpected at this time.
What I eventually found out was that extra quotes in the run.bat file were causing problems:
Lines such as
for /f "tokens=1,2,* delims=_ " %%A in ('"findstr /b /c:":menu_" "%~f0""') do echo. %%B %%C
were the culprits. I found that if I removed the extra double quotes ("s) inside the parentheses, it worked for me:
for /f "tokens=1,2,* delims=_ " %%A in ('findstr /b /c:":menu_" "%~f0"') do echo. %%B %%C
I had to do this 3 times for 3 for loops, and then the batch file ran just fine.
Just wanted to get this solution out there - I hadn't seen the error pop up much, and don't know why I was getting it.
Many thanks for the script - very nice to have this!

Just thought I'd point out that the version number you pasted is 0.9.5... (older version).

I had the same problem on 2 windows xp computers ran it after on a windows 7 compo and it worked
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

Using 9.6
Here's using 0.9.6 (Sorry, BTW, I didn't realize I'd posted the 9.5 results)

I suspect there are some permission subtleties going on here
But why for loops work differently in \Program Files (x86)\ and in \temp\ is *really* beyond me.
Anyway, there's another solution if you run into this obscure problem: run the KFU from a different directory!

KFU help requested, first try at rooting anything

Previous "first try" threads are pretty old, I'm concerned that information is outdated.
First, I wouldn't have done it, but the Fire just cries out to be uncrippled. It is 6.3. I am pretty new to this. I stopped tearing into stuff about 11 years ago, I was OK with it then but I stopped caring about it and haven't paid attention since. But I know one thing, and that is how to ask for help.
I downloaded the SDK Manager and ran the installer, installing SDK Tools and SDK Platform-Tools, then tried to install the drivers from the Kindle Fire Utility; it is the most recent version, 9.5 I believe (from yesterday).
I got:
***********************************************

Installing TWRP...
If we get stuck here for awhile, power the kindle on and off a few times.
You should also check device manager for "kindle" If so, rerun the driver
installer that came packaged with KFU.

***********************************************

***********************************************
If we get stuck here a long time, check the ADB drivers in windows.
Fastboot uses a different device than ADB, so make sure it is installed as an
ADB device. If you see "kindle" in device manager, you need to install the
drivers. You can also try running install_drivers.bat in the drivers folder.
Do NOT unplug the kindle if we are stuck here, leave it plugged in and on.
Do NOT touch the kindle at all if we are stuck.
Setting Recovery Bootmode.
Please wait...
...And that's it, about half an hour ago. I know one thing, that when "NOT" is capitalized, you "don't touch the big, beautiful, shiny red button."
How long do I wait? What is going on, and if something is wrong, what do I do next?
Thanks for looking.
edited to add: I tried running install_drivers.bat; "UNC paths are not supported... Defaulting to Windows directory. The system cannot find the path specified."

Did you extract the contents of the Kindle Fire Utility zip archive before running anything?
Did you install the drivers?
Did you read this guide?

Thank you, yes I did. I read the guide several times. I did extract the contents first, before running anything.
I did manage to install the drivers manually, in between writing the first post and your response, by going through Device Manager and pointing it toward the Kindle Fire Utility folder.
I am confident that I won't permanently destroy anything, but at the same time I feel blind.

All of those "The system cannot find the path specified." errors are because it can't find the directories within the KFU folder. Did you move the run.bat file or something? Within the KFU directory, you should have...
drivers
files
tools
install_drivers.bat
run.bat
Like the first 5 errors after "Activating Fastboot (4002)" it's looking for the tools directory. Most of the time this is caused by users who try to run the batch file from within the zip archive.
EDIT: I'm not a Windows guru by any means, but I was just looking at some docs about UNC paths. Do you have the KFU directory on some shared directory or mapped network drive or something? Try moving it to some place local like your user directory and run it from there.

kinfauns, I thank you for your patience.
Is it possible that the fact that I am running Windows in a vm on a Mac is part of the problem, that I downloaded Kindle Fire Utility (for Windows) in the Mac environment, then tried running it in the Windows environment?
I finally said screw it, and unplugged the Kindle. It is fine. I have to go to bed now, I will try doing it all from Windows (including the download) tomorrow.
Thank you again for your patience. I'm sorry that I ran out of time in the middle of requesting your assistance, that is rude and implies that I don't value the help. On the contrary, I value it very much. But the hours in between now and tomorrow morning mean nothing to the machines, and everything to my biological recharging. I apologize.

No, that's fine... no apologies necessary. It's good to step away from the situation for a while and regroup when things don't seem to go right. In the interest of full disclosure, Mac OS X Lion is my primary OS. All of this Windows stuff I do through Parallels Desktop VM and I don't have any problems with it. I don't know what you are using, but I'll warn you now that if you are trying to use Oracle's VirtualBox, it's not going to do the job for you. There seems to be some bug in their USB implementation that breaks adb and fastboot.
My guess right now is that you are trying to run KFU from a shared directory that resides on your Mac. If you look at post #2 of the guide I mentioned previously, I suggest putting everything in C:\kfu before running things. It doesn't necessarily have to be that directory, but you should trying putting it somewhere on the boot drive. The 2 minutes I spent looking at UNC paths seems to indicate cmd.exe doesn't like them and that might be the cause of your troubles. Good luck.

kinfauns, I followed the instructions better this time, downloading KFU in the Windows environment and extracting directly to C:, and everything proceeded perfectly. Thank you!

The Kindle Fire Utility

Hello.
Long time lurker first time poster.
I'm not sure if this is where I should post this, or even if it's okay that I do, but the run.bat batch file for Kindle Fire Utility states "You are free to tweak or modify this as you see fit, just please be respectful is all I ask."
Vashypooh's latest version came out on the 9th, I think, and I started working on this as a large edit of version 0.9.5.
Vashypooh did some great work putting the batch file together, I hope that it is okay that I put this edited version here.
The abilites of this little program surprised even myself, you can have a custom ROM installed over a Stock Kindle Fire in roughly 6 minutes.
I've titled it 0.9.6d, if that's not okay, I can change it.

[HOWTO] Root the Kindle Fire 2 (non HD)

Device = Kindle Fire 2 and Windows 8 64bit
Although I have tagged this as a howto, its more of a compilation of what others have done - many thanks to them. This is the first howto post I've done so please thank the guys that made this happen - not me.
There are many, many posts showing how to root the kindle fire (HD and normal) but it took me a while to piece together all the information I needed to root (re-root actually!) mine.
As I've just re done mine and its fresh in my head, here it is.
Download the Android SDK and unzip it and copy the 'adt-bundle-windows' folder to your documents folder
Navigate to Documents/adt-bundle-windows/sdk/tools and run the android app - this opens the android SDK manager.
Go to tools - Manage-addon-sites and select the User defined Sites tab. Click new and add the following url
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Hit OK and close
Now scroll to the bottom on the SDK manager and under extras will be 2 kindle fire options 'kindle fire device definitions' and 'kindle fire USB driver' select both and install.
Now close the SDK manager.
If you have previously used your kindle on your PC, plug it in and go to device manager and un-install the drivers for it - now unplug it.
Navigate to \Documents\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and install the kindle USB drivers
Now add the location of the ADB.exe file to your path
You should now be able to plug in your kindle and execute adb devices and see your kindle - that means your good to go.
Download this tool made by Bin4ry - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Unzip the file you download.
Now goto the platform-tools folder of the SDK and copy all the files in here into the 'stuff' folder of the file you just unzipped.
Now simply run the 'RunMe' batch file.
Now, you mileage may vary of course but this is what worked for me.

Im a complete noob and was kind of lost through the process. Finally it took me around 40 minutes to complete the whole process. Thanks a lot!
Some things to consider for noobs like me:
1. You MUST have Java SDK installed in order to open the "Android" App (SDK Manager) (I didnt have it)
2. It is important to delete the drivers of the kindle fire at Device manager (while is connected) if you have used (connected) it before. After deleting the drivers disconnect the kindle fire and install the drivers again.
3. adb.exe is located at \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools\ (sorry I didnt know where it was located)
4. When referring to "execute adb devices" it means you should type in a command prompt "adb devices" (I was looking for an .exe or a .bat file named "adb devices"!) LOL
5. After running "adb devices" you should be able to "see" your kindle device as a large alphanumeric sequence. Now, this was the tricky part for me... I tried several times and couldnt "see" my kindle listed! So I figured out that maybe there was a different kind of connection I could configure and indeed there was! I had to set my Kindle Fire to be in ADB Debug Mode. This is achieved by going to Settings->Security->Enable ADB And after that it was a piece of cake! I downloaded the file made by Bin4ry and followed the rest of the instructions.
Excellent tutorial bryanchapman9999!! I really appreciate your time and effort to gather up this information!

Divanus,
First, the Android SDK is completely independent of other services and is only required for developers. The package includes Eclipse which is a Programming platform that people like us use to develop software for Android. The software used in Root MANY ANDROID includes the adb.exe utility needed to Root the Kindle.
You only need four things to Root the Kindle:
1. Root MANY ANDROID: http://ubuntuone.com/6LfERbIVoLRh822wHFicgR
2. Android ADB Driver: http://ubuntuone.com/4UaHeEJBrh9PT87RFzYR19
3. Windows PC
4. Kindle Fire 2
Step 1: Install the ADB Driver while the Kindle is Unplugged from USB, then Reboot your PC.
Step 2: Plug the Kindle into USB, wait 2 minutes for the driver to initialize
Step 3: Unzip Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1.zip as Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 to your desktop
Step 4: If you installed the SDK, you need to disable it, otherwise Root Many Android will fail. You can disable it by changing the platform-tools folder to platform-tools-temp. This can usually be found C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools
Step 5: Run Root Many Android RunMe.bat
Step 6: You now have Root!

I cant do it

Kusakus,
First let me apologize for the delay we have been working hard to improve our software. Please follow these steps to solve your problem:
Step 1: Remove Kindle driver by plugging the Kindle into USB, then Go to the Windows Device Manager and select the Kindle > Android ADB Interface - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.
Step 2: Remove the second driver found under Portable Devices > Kindle - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.
Step 3: Next you need to remove "phantom devices" in the Windows Device Manager. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties. Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.
Step 4: Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.
Step 5: In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.
In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1. Click OK.
Step 6: In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click OK.
Step 7: In the System Properties window click OK.
Step 8: Reboot the PC.
Step 9: Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).
Step 10: From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and notice the change. Now remove EVERY instance of Kindle, Portable Devices, Android ADB Interface and Android ADB Composite Interface. Be sure to check the box to remove the driver from the PC.
Step 11: When you are done reboot the PC. Wait 3 minutes once you see the desktop for Windows to stabilize. Plug the Kindle into USB, wait 60 seconds and open the Windows Device Manager, you should now see two Yellow Triangles:
MTP
Unknown Device
Step 12: If you see two Yellow Triangles you have successfully removed all the Kindle Drivers! Unplug the Kindle from USB.
Step 13: Check Add/Remove Programs do you see Android SDK? If yes, please Remove it and reboot the PC.
Step 14: Please download and install Kindle Fire First Aide per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Step 15: Use Kindle Fire First Aide to install the Kindle Fire USB Driver - Option 12. Wait for the Install to complete. Once you see a successful driver install then go to the Kindle. Make sure "Allow installation of programs" is ON under the Kindle Status Bar - More + > Device. Also make sure ADB is ON under the Kindle Status Bar More + Security Enable ADB is ON.
Step 16: Plug the Kindle into your PC USB, wait 2 minutes, maybe 3 minutes for the driver to successfully install. When done go back to the Windows Device Manager, do you now see the following:
Kindle > Android ADB Interface
Portable Devices > Kindle
Step 17: If yes, then SUCCESS! Great work! Let's proceed, if NO post what you see in the Device Manger in the Kindle Fire First Aide thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Step 18: Let's finally Root your Kindle Fire 2. Try Option 20 first if that root method fails, reboot the PC and Kindle then try Option 21. Pay close attention to the Kindle when using Option 21, the Kindle should ask to be "Restored" do not worry it is a fake restore that is only used to exploit the Kindle. When you restore the Kindle, the process will wrap up and you will have Root!
Step 19: You may use our software to install Google Play Store and Google Apps.

Not trying to revive an old thread and I have been reading what I could find on the kindle fire 2. Recently got my daughter one and I'm not happy with the amazon store, etc. I would like to root and be able to use the playstore. Is this the best method? Is this what I need to do to accomplish this? She and her mother both like the stock ui and all, especially the carousel, so I have no intention of installing a different rom or launcher. So is it possible to simply root and get access to the google playstore? Thanks!

I used this thread recently and it worked fine

If you got it rooted, try to put on the recovery and flash a custom one (slimkat is pretty awesome). The amazon OS is terrible IMO.

[How To]Fix Recovery Bootloop after installing twrp and 2nd bootloader

First and foremost I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARD BRICKS,etc ,etc(Really hard to hard brick a kindle doing this unless you flash a weird rom package)
Now that thats cleared up, I have been seeing too many recovery bootloop bricks lately because I think the main tutorials people use haven't been updated(to mention you need to put a rom on the kindle beforehand now), so I thought why not write a tutorial that explains how to fix this problem since there are so many posts, that way we can just put a link to the tutorial in the peoples threads. So here we go!
Things you need to do this:
a micro-usb cable
patience
minimal command prompt experience
Instructions:
Boot your kindle into twrp (it should do this on its own at this point)
Make sure you have the adb drivers installed(they will need to be installed again if you flashed an older version of twrp), if not, update your drivers in the device manager with the ones in my signature.(See below if you don't know how to update your drivers)
Download the attached file and extract it somewhere
Put the rom and gapps in the folder you extracted the files to
Open a command prompt with admin privileges(start>all programs>accessories right click command prompt, hit run as admin)
CD into the directory where the extracted files are
Type this into the command prompt: adb push rom-or-gapps-name-goes-here.zip /sdcard/
As I said in the filename put either the rom or the gapps, but send both in two commands
At this point once the transfer is done unplug your kindle
If you are going from amazon to a cm based rom, at this point you should wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and do a factory reset. If not just goto step 11.
Hit install, browse to the /sdcard folder and choose the rom and gapps files and flash them
Reboot and profit!
For people with driver issues that don't know how to install my driver:
Open the device manager
Find the device with a triangle next to it
Right click it and hit update driver
Choose the option that lets you search a folder for drivers by browsing
Choose the folder you extracted my drivers to
Let it search and install the drivers
Profit!
Note: If adb isn't picking up the kindle in recovery, try uninstalling the current kindle devices it detects first and then updating the drivers

It's about time someone posted a tutorial for how to fix this. Great job! This should be a sticky.

thanks
I had the same problem... the looping thing... you're tutorial saved me! thanks a lot.

rom and gapps
sry for my ignorance, but what do you mean with "rom and gapps"?
i explain what i've done:
i did everything in the guide to install twrp and 2nd bootloader.
i can acces in the twrp, but if i enter the reboot menu, if i push the botton "System", i had the boot loop problem (Kindle logo became orange and then blue forever)
Now the question is: where i find the rom and the gapps you're talking about?

You choose a ROM from the android development section for your model kindle, usually it tells what version of gapps(google apps) you need to flash with it. If it doesn't tell what gapps you need its pretty easy to tell, goo.im has the gapps posted for all versions of android, and have a chart telling which version goes with what os.

*cannot read
When I go to push the file to the kindle I get a message in the command prompt saying *cannot stat 'rom.zip': no such file or directory.
I have the zip in the same folder as the adb file
Any suggestions?

Check the ROM name to make sure its not a typo? It should work. Make sure you didn't rename the ROM and add .zip because windows by default doesn't show extensions, so the filename might actually be ROM.zip.zip now if you did that.

Sigh, I was hoping my first post on XDA wouldn't be a help request, but here I am..
I agonized for hours over the directions in this tutorial, checked all the right boxes, but I ended up in the bootloop as described in the OP. I can get to TWRP fine, but nothing else. My ADB drivers along with the Android SDK package were installed and previously working fine. Now, of course, the device no longer has a driver in Windows. I followed the instructions here, carefully selecting the extracted folder containing the ADB files, and Device Manager tells me—
"Windows was unable to install your Kindle. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried a number of times to reboot both systems, uninstall the Kindle, try to pick it up again, etc., to no avail.
My device is a Kindle Fire HD 7" originally version 7.4.6. I made backups before I started as per the directions in the linked thread and I have my desired ROM and Gapp .zips all ready to go, I just can't get anything to the device. I'd prefer to avoid needing to get a factory cable, if possible.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I've managed to get my .zip files to the /sdcard/ directory. For anyone stuck on the same problem I was, the instructions in this thread got my ADB drivers up and running again. The rest of the steps here worked fine at that point.

Oh good, someone finally made a tutorial for this.

Help please
hello i am in need of some help, at step 6 can you explain what CD is. Also in Cmd i keep on getting this message below, please could you help me i also have just installed android ADB driver interface driver.
C:\Windows\system32>adb push cm-10.1-20130726-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip /sdcard/
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

CD means change directory, it does what it says, right now you are in your system32 folder so when you CD into the directory you extracted the zip file to you won't get that error. You should Google some command prompt basics.

Extract the file in the first post to somewhere on your C drive. (I put it in the C drive directly so it was just c:\adb\.)
Check this: ht tp://coweb.cc.gatec h.edu/ice-gt/339 - remove the spaces.
That should help.
Do
cd..
until you have just c:/. Then type cd:/adb and it should put you in the right place. Then you can do adb push.
I just figured this out actually and did it.

Sounds like an old twrp version I think, try downloading the latest twrp from android development for your device, It should have a flashable zip, just push it to your device and flash that, then reboot into recovery again and try flashing the ROM again.

Find the android adb device in the service manager and uni stall it and let it install my drivers and see if it works, I'm guessing its a simple driver issue.

I modified slayer615's batch code to Auto-Root the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
I can not confirm that this works simply because I don't own the 8.9" hdx. If you get root, please tell me so I can confirm it.
1: Get the adb drivers and install. here
2: Enable adb on the Kindle
3: Connect Kindle to computer, goto Device Manager in Control Panel, Look for the unsupported adb device (if not found safely remove hardware the kindle on the taskbar), Click the unsupported device and click update driver then point it to the android_winusb file in the driver install directory.
4: Download the root14.3.1.0.7z file, unpack
5: Run the runme.bat Follow along. That's it!
At this point you should be rooted. You can now install SuperSU and Busybox on your HDX. If not connecting in the batch file make sure you have the adb drivers installed first! If not root, reply. Remember this is tested to work on Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0

To block Amazon auto-updates:
Download and install Android Firewall (root required first)
Once installed white list the apps you want wifi to use, open the set custom script option
Enter:
Code:

Thanks for replying!

Jcase we need to take the boot-loader!:fingers-crossed:
Anybody look at the boot-loader yet?

For the Android Firewall, how do I know it is working? I've added the 3 lines to the "set custom script", I've enabled the firewall, I've applied the rules. When I click on "check now" for system updates, my HDX checks and comes back with no updates found. Shouldn't it fail the check?

It works on my Kindle fire hdx 8.9, but the functions of LBE seem not to be completely opened. And the wrong message: 403 forbidden will appear when I download from web pages. Strange. How to scroll it back?

Look Before Entering??? Heck, I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud. On a more serious note, I used your batch file to root my 8.9 and except for the GAPPS issue I've had no problems. The root process took all of 15 to 20 seconds. Have to admit now I'm curious though.

LBE is a security software. And good news is the problem disappeared after I clean the cookie and connect to another network router. Now, my kindle fire HDX 8.9 is rooted normally. Thanks a lot.

With this rooting method, you do can install google market(following an additional tutorial). Once you have market installed, you wont be able to install apps through market, you will have to sideload. I have done that and all google apps work with no problem...

thanks!! just the answer i was looking for. so without custom roms and the ability root and side load apks how do you rate the kindle fir hdx? mine is in the mail so i havent been able to tinker around with it but the only downside i see with the kindle fire hdx is the fire OS. is that a big draw back??

It comes down to what you use it for. If you have Amazon Prime, Fire OS is perfect. For me I can care less. I have the HDX 7". I have Hashcode's TWRP recovery installed and made a backup of my ROM and running it from a rom slot. Just waiting to install custom ROM's. The bootloader is still locked and may stay that way for a while. But, with safestrap it adds a boot recovery menu.
Hash is working on porting safestrap to the 8.9" but for now it is ONLY on the 7".

How do i rate the kindle fire hdx 8.9 ?
with all my google apps up and working i give it 4 and a half stars out of 5.
the hardware is amazing, the darn thing is ultra thin and overall, is very fast/snappy.
Is the fire OS a big drawback ?
well, the only 3 thing that so far nag me, are
- the fact that you cant bluetooth-pair the tab with another device (my S4 for example) to do Bluetooth tethering.
- The other thing is, at least with my own Bluetooth jaybird x-buds earphones, that when i am listening to music and i turn off the screen, the music starts horribly lagging.
- The darn nav bar prevents me of fully seeing the landscape thumb-keyboard (3rd party app) layout.
So basically, in my case at least, fire OS is nothing more than a small nuisance, which i will get rid of once custom roms make their appearance.
Taking into consideration all efforts provided on these threads to improve/costumize the software capabilities for this device, IMHO, i believe it is a darn good investment.

I modified slayer615's batch code to Auto-Root the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
1: Download the adb driver and install it to your computer.
2: Connect the Kindle to a computer. Then Enable adb on the Kindle in Settings --> Device
3: On your computer goto Control Panel ---> System ---> Device Manager. Look under the Other devices tab. Right-Click Android and click update driver. Then click Browse My Computer. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers. Scroll down and select Kindle Fire. Hit next until the driver installs.
4: Download the root14.zip file, unpack
5: Run the runme.bat Follow along. That's it!
At this point you should be rooted. You can now install SuperSU and Busybox on your HDX. If not connecting in the batch file make sure you have the adb drivers installed first! If not root, reply. Remember this is tested to work on Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" 14.3.1.0
Thanks goes to: fi01 for finding the bug, Jcase for making the exploit, slayer615 for making the batch bundle.
NOTICE:
If the Hdx is updated past this point Amazon may patch the bug and so you loose root.
To block Amazon auto-updates:
Download and install Android Firewall (root required first)
Once installed white list all the apps you want wifi to use or just all of them, open the set custom script option.
Enter:
Code:
iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.194.208 -j "droidwall-reject"
iptables -A "droidwall" -s 176.32.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject"
iptables -A "droidwall" -s 72.21.195.233 -j "droidwall-reject"
Hit ok and that should block Amazon from pushing updates to your Kindle HDX
THIS IS 100% WORKING ON VERSION 14.3.1.0
Please leave a response how it worked!
-NOTICE- If your browser flags the root14.zip file it is because of the packed adb.exe file.
