Hi everyone. As a new Kindle Fire user, I bought mine AFTER the recent Kindle 6.2 update. After following step-by-step the instructions posted on this forum to root KF, I seemed to have succeeded at my first attempt. However, when trying to copy and paste either vending.apk or amarket.apk to system/app folder using File Expert which I got from Amazon store, I couldn't get it to work. This means I don't see either apps in the system app folder after I paste them there. I followed the instructions to the T and rebooted KF, still no show. I then tried to install it via adb, I was able to "adb install" googleservice frameworks on KF. But when trying to "adb push" the market app to system/app, I keep getting "adb access denied". I tried re-rooting with superoneclick, still can't "adb push".
I really don't know what went wrong. BTW, I could hard install the market app on to KF and gained access to the market. (I thought KF blocked it.) But all my download from android market seem unsuccessful. I need help. Thanks.
Problem solved. And here's what I found out and how I made it work. Thanks for everyone who posted to help.
After trying what everyone suggested here, I still couldn't get r/w perssion to the system folder. I reset my KF to factory setting and started all over again. This time I realized it was the File Expert app that's causing this problem. Although it seems like File Expert could gain full access to the system, it doesn't allow you to make any modification to the system folder. I know someone claimed it worked on theirs. But if your File Expert comes from Amazon app store, it DOES NOT work when you try to paste anything into the system. When I realized that ROOT EXPLORER is no longer available on Amazon, I figured that could be the reason. After downloading Root Explorer to my PC and installed it onto KF, everything worked like a charm! So for those of you who encounter similar problems, it's not you. It could be the File Expert app that you got from Amazon.
You need to mount system as writable
Thanks Felnarion. But I did that. It didn't help. I followed the instructions step by step. Don't where the problem is. I find it hard to believe that KF allows me to do regular install of android market(the market icon even shows on the carousel) but I can't do it the "sneaky" way? Anyone else tried installing market app directly from the sd card?
In that case I think it's your app. I just downloaded file expert and had problems copying to /system as well.
Try root explorer, haven't had any problems with it.
File Expert is broken in regards to mounting folders RW/RO. Even though it claims it has successfully changed permissions, it never does or they don't stick. I suffered the exact same issue, regarding mounting folders RW/RO, and had to install Root Explorer to get the job done.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system
is the adb command

This might be a dumb question, but did you
Code:
su
and click OK on the Superuser prompt on the KF screen prior to the adb push attempts? Were you able to mount /system rw through adb? If adb can't get root access there's no way File Expert will be able to.

File Expert works fine. I've used it to do all my root related installs. You just have to make sure you check the 'Root Explorer' box under Settings>File Explorer Settings before trying to do any /system mounts, it's off by default.
Thank you everyone for your help. If I remember correctly, I did try "su" in adb. but not sure if entered the code correctly. I also heard about File Expert could be the cause when it comes to gaining permissions. I checked root explorer on File expert settings as well. I'm beginning to wonder if my hard install of market app ,which worked to my surprise, messed things up. I will try to reset my KF to factory setting and start over again. I will report back with the result. Once again, I really appreciate everyone's help.

i have to admit this is the first time I see this code. I tried something similar based on an instruction from another site. But not this exact code. I will try it later.
that command line was a life saver
Saved me a future headache

Interesting. I was the one it worked for and I'm pretty sure I got mine from the Market, not Amazon. Good thing I haven't clicked that update button from within Amazon App Store.
Thank you for following up. Perfect example of how it can help others.
Glad you got everything sorted.
I am running the cm7 rom but last night I installed busybox and ran the v6 supercharger script. Now my wifi no longer works. I tried to install the new version of cm7 but I get this error when i try to access dab shell.
adb shell
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -
Is it possible to fix this? if not what is the easiest way to return to stock and start over. Thank you.

Not gonna happen unless you can get into recovery or have the special usb cable to throw your device into fastboot (search the unbricking thread for more information on that). If you get lucky and can fix it + revert to stock, I would not install cm7 again until doing so is more noob friendly and forgiving.
The issues people are having with installing cm7 and severely screwing up their kindle are pretty epidemic due to the issues with recovery for those that don't prepare ahead of time for the possibility of disaster. The maintainer should really either close it out for now to the public or make the disclaimer much larger.
I have the same error. This is end. Only Factory Cable can help you but even with this cable I'm not sure what you can restore it.
i can still operate the kindle fire. I'm looking in /system/bin folder and it appears i am missing the sh file. if i replace it can i gain dab shell access again? if this is possible where can i get the sh file?

Operate how? Also, please don't double post in 2 threads.
My bad . It boots into cm7. I'm missing the sh file for some reason. Wifi also stopped working and Some apps don't work. This Happened after i used v6 supercharger. My goal is to go back to stock but I can't access adb shell.

Could be a bit more explicit. Boots as in "yay, i see a logo and can't use my device beyond a paperweight that displays the cm7 logo" or boots as in "yay, i can use my device like normal and it's not bricked or malfunctioning"
Anyways, if you actually have root privileges and can mount system in read/write, get the sh binary out of the CM7 download by unzipping it or whatever and copy it over, making sure to match the owner/group and permissions that the other things in the /system/bin directory have. Since I'm guessing you're not command line savvy, I recommend doing this in root explorer or buying it if you do not have it.
Also, many of us do not own kindles and a larger % are also not running cm7 on their kindle so saying "i ran some random script that I won't say what it does and where I found it" does not help your situation either as far as getting a helpful answer.
Can you type ADB DEVICES at your command line and get a device? What about fastboot? Can you get devices to show there while at the command line?If yes, I am sure you can flash the CWM recovery to get ADB, then follow the steps to get back to stock...Dont blame me though if it doesnt work
I got the script script from someone in the cm7 thread, its supposed to opitimize the ram usage thus making the rom more smooth. He said it worked for him so I gave it a shot. I think it unrooted my kindle because I can't gain root access with root explorer. My devices shows up in adb devices but since I can't use adb shell I can't enable the fast boot.
The method is similar to the original Root tutorial before but with help of kindleroot_androidpolice.apk released from http://www.androidpolice.com as more obstacles in 6.2.1.
1. Download kindleroot_androidpolice.apk
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...on-kindle-regardless-of-its-software-version/
2. Copy kindleroot_androidpolice.apk to your Kindle Fire device and install it.
3. Run it! Click Agree > You Rock > Root
4. Now you can connect your Kindle fire to your PC with USB line.
For the Windows System:
Start > Run > CMD
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
(I installed the SDK by default so you can see my directory above that way)
If you installed your SDK to C:\Android then you should
Code:
cd C:\Android
If you download some guy's package for ADB and unzipped it to C:\adb, simply you should enter command
Code:
cd C:\adb
5. Download the latest version for SuperOneClickv2.3.2-ShortFuse from official site http://shortfuse.org/?p=171
Unzip the package and Run SuperOneClick.exe
Click Root Button
Unfortunately you will find that the commands will stop at WaitForDevice.
What should we do now?
6. Don't be panic! Just Run these lines in your command window:
Code:
adb root
adb kill-server
adb remount
Everything is okay now and the commands will be continued to END
Root completely
You can check SuperUser working well again on your KF

Damn I think I'm gonna try that after installing 6.2.1 but it better work.

Anyone tried this method yet and can confirm that it works?
The method on androidpolice works. I am running 6.2.1 rooted right now!
Course BurritoRoot works, with a name like that it has to

trollololololol
Actually this method works better. There seems to be a problem with the su program on androidpolice. It gives root alright but some programs don't get root access for some reason. SuperOneClick works better.

i dont know if u read! but superoneclick was broken after last update, and jcase was nice enough to root this blindly so we could root !!!

SuperOneClick can not root 6.21. Hence the use of BurritoRoot in the OP.
Methods to gain root are the same, since they use the same app to do it.
There was a problem with the su binary on AP but its been replaced.
I can verify the Android Police method works just fine without the SuperOneClick. Triedit twice, rooted then unrooted so I could watch Prime Video, then rerooted so I can install OTA Rootkeeper so I could watch video without unrooting. Only difference for me was I had SuperUser already from my pre-6.2.1 root but its the same as the the one AP distributes.
FYI my computer is a Mac so this was executed from shell.
Ibis, can you give me some more information on how you did this on a Mac?
I tried and it seemed to work but don't think it took as I cant copy the framework Apk to system/apps and when I try to run market it force closes with a vending error.

Yes my drives are installed properly and KfU shows status as online.
did you allow installation from unkown sources? did you disconnect the usb transfer application? were you connected to the internet? and your drivers say android adb composite interface? and there are no question marks or exclamation points next to your driver? and are you using only a 2.0 usb port? have you downloaded a fresh copy to make sure the copy of kfu you have isnt in some form corrupted?

So what can be wrong?

In my experience the Windows drivers are flaky. I've had similar problems to what you are describing and fixed them by removing and reinstalling the drivers. And rebooting Windows. It's very frustrating when everything looks like it should be working only to find out a reinstall or reboot immediately fixes it.
I can't know if that will work in your case but might be worth a try.

Same for me.
The same thing happens for me when I try to use the KFU v0.9.6. I dont believe it to be a driver issue either.
The install_drivers.bat would not install the drivers due to drivers not signed. So I had to install them manually. I also had to edit the adb_usb.ini file by adding the line:
0x1949
in my android sdk but ADB now reports connected.
The FFF did install but TWRP and root will not install. I have not tried clockwork mod.
I noticed that while trying to install root, the KFU reported that it was attemping to download TWRP. Is this normal behavior?
The TWRP will not download as the link it broken. It does download something and renames it to twrp.img but what it gets is way too small.
The link: TWRP=Click Here that is listed in the instructions under extras on This Page is broken and I suspect that the KFU is attemping to download from that location and instead getting the file doesn't exist page instead and renaming it.
When I manually track down twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img and rename it to twrp.img then place it in the resources folder, the KFU finds it and attempts to install it but fails with md5 error.

Like when you first plug it in to your computer are you hitting the disconnect but to stop the file transfer app.. Also I would redownload the utility there's something amuck with your copy sounds like
can't download from KFU
Looks like im having the same problem. i'm not able to download superuser or TWRP via KFU. FFF, however, installed just fine... so now, everytime i reboot i get the new blue "kindle fire" logo with boot options. I gave up after a couple days of looking for a solution, and decided to try factory reset, to see if that would clear it off... nope. so i guess my question is does anybody know how to remove FFF after a failed but not detrimental root attempt.... orrrr, does anybody know of a real solution to the download issues i had. its weird, i was able to connect fine ( it detected my kindle, it said i was online, and in normal boot mode 4000, no root ) and install FFF, but nothing else seemed to work in the hundred (give or take a few) times i attempted the root process via KFU. thanks. tell me there's something i'm missing here.

Also, it looks as if im getting the same errors you are. "Warning download couldn't be completed" Permissions denied, and mounting fails as well.
big mistake?
well i f'd up. i finally got twrp to install using a different file. however, it appears that i must've accidentally hit a wrong number when installing late last night, cause it appears i also have clockworkmod installed and it superceded twrp i guess.. can't load it. Anyone got any ideas on how to remove CWM with TWRP also installed. damn what a mess.

Hey everybody I had the same problem with twrp, but you just have to download the twrp image from the team win site and placed into the folder call recovery and rename it to twrp, after that the kfu will install it correctly.

If I understand correctly, you try to execute the batch files to Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD: RunMe.bat (Step 1) or QemuRoot.bat (Step 2), Microsoft Windows returns an error Permission Denied or Access Denied.

Had the same problem. DL my package and see if you have any better luck:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t570mx55pqw5ezw
Or here are my instructions anyways:
Instructions:
1. Install/update Java from "chromeinstall-7u10.exe"
2. Install Kindle Fire ADB Drivers with "Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe"
3. Place your Kindle fire in ADB mode (Settings->Security->Enable ADB->On) and connect your device by USB.
4. In the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18" folder run "RunMe.bat"
5. Use Option one and follow the on-screen instructions
6. In the "QemuRoot_v1.0" folder, run "RootQemu.bat"
7. Follow the onscreen instructions.
8. You should be greeted with a success prompt.
*NOTE*
This method has gotten me farther and actually installs Superuser.apk, which I can open using ES File Explorer.
HOWEVER, Root still apparently doesn't work for me.

Run everything again, first updating these utilities to the latest versions - these links have an updated ADB Server and API's:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip

Then follow these instructions again (Ignoring the links below):
Root Step 1: Run Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460. Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. When the Kindle asks to be Restored, CLICK on it (this installs the binary files).
Root Step 2: The Kindle will reboot and react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Proceed to Step 3.
Root Step 3: Run Qemu automated root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838. Let this utility complete to the end.
Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.
You now have Root.

When you did Step 1, did you see Restore on the Kindle? Did you click on the Restore dialog and let the program reboot the Kindle? When the Kindle rebooted, was it running slow?

Yes i saw the restore window. i did the restore, the kindle rebooted and the 1st root programe (by bin4ry) seemed to work fine, it told me i had root. When i ran the Qemu root kit it failed on step 2.
No the kindle didnt seem to run slow. it did the very 1st time i tried to root it after the 7.3.2 update, but since doing a factory reset, the kindle didnt run slow after rooting attempts.
if you get me rooted i will post you a very sexy picture of my ankle!

After the first step, do not do anything to the Kindle, leave it alone after the reboot and proceed using the following updated Qemu program.
You may download the updated version here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu.zip
Extract to your desktop and run the RootQemu.bat file. Choose Option 1.

in the words of alan partridge....A HAAAA!
Solved the issue.....Instead of running the batch file as admin, i opened up 'CMD' as admin, then navigated (using command prompt) to the folder containing the root files and ran them.....it worked!!! it passed through step 2.
However....when i run es file explorer. i cannot access root
Initialize Superuser.apk

Ahhh, almost there. This is a bug in Superuser.apk - go into your Apps folder, you will see Superuser, click on it. It will open, now go to File Explorer, see if you can run as Root. I prefer Root Explorer.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD Software Version 7.2.3
Since this thread had seen a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks, I decided it was time to consolidate everything again, so here it is the consolidated and updated link version as of 12/23/2012:
The problem "Device not Found" is usually driver related or ADB Security issue. I assume you have ADB enabled under Security - Enable ADB? Also enable "Allow Installation of Applications" under the Device tab - this will allow installation of Google Play applications. If all OK, move onto the next step.
Next, as per the Qemu thread noted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838 you will find a driver package named "Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers.zip", be sure to install the ADB driver package. Reboot the PC and next the Kindle.
As you noted, if you want to use Google Play, you must Root the device. Just to keep everything consolidated, I will give you a brief Rooting instructions which works for Software 7.2.2 and 7.2.3.
Download Root MANY ANDROID! to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
Download Qemu automated root to your desktop. Extract to your desktop.
NOTE WINDOWS 7 USERS: You need to open a command prompt "as Administrator" when running the batch files RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat - otherwise Windows will respond with "Permission Denied".
Root Step 1: Run RunMe.bat from Root MANY ANDROID! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1886460. Choose option 1 Run Normal Method and ignore errors. Pay attention, you will need to answer "Restore" a dialogue box on the Kindle. Click on Restore. When the program has completed, the Kindle will Reboot.
Root Step 2: When the Kindle reboots it will react VERY slowly, this is normal - leave it alone. Proceed to Step 3.
Root Step 3: Run RootQemu.bat from Qemu automated root http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1893838. Follow the instructions Step-by-Step allowing Windows to re-detect the Kindle between reboots (about 2 minutes). Let this utility complete to the end.
Root Step 4: Click on Superuser.apk under the Apps tab.
You should now have root AND if this is true your ADB communication is also functional. Finally to Google Play.
Play Step 1 Move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to /system/app. Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Change permissions on both to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read. Install GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk
Play Step 2 Reboot the Kindle
Play Step 3 Download Vending.apk
Play Step 4 Using Root explorer app on the Fire (be sure it has Superuser Permissions). Move Vending.apk to /system/app with permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.
Play Step 5 Install Vending.apk
Play Step 6 Google Play should show up in your Kindle Fire HD Apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.
Play Step 7 Download and install the Gplay3.8.17.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Google Play market.
Play Step 8 Download google_apps - unzip to /sdcard/download
Play Step 9 Install Google Apps as needed. There is no need to move any of the apps to /system/app, just perform a normal apk install by using Root Explorer to install these apps.
I have also attached copies of these noted files to this thread.
Also, I have organized a few Google Apps & Services then zipped them into a folder you may download here: Google Apps. I have used all these Apps on my Kindle 7" HD successfully.
If you would like to disable the Amazon OTA Updates, delete or move /system/ect/security/otacerts.zip to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle.
Finally, to eliminate Amazon from intercepting any Market requests, thus allowing Google Play to be the default Market move /system/app/MarketIntentProxy.apk to /sdcard/download - Reboot the Kindle
I'm also trying to do what previous users have been doing in this thread: running Rootqemu.bat but I still get permission denied on the second step. I've tried navigating to the folder using an administrator command prompt and running it through cmd, still fails on the second step with permission denied:
/system/bin/sh: cannot create /data/local.prop: Permission denied.
Have no idea where to go from here any help would be appreciated.
