sir,
i have tried to root my kindle fire using the latest kindle fire utility package 0.9.6 . After running the file run.bat
i got following displayed on my pc screen....
at various places it said failed and at last there it was written permanent root has been installed.
But i do not find any difference in my kindle. Please guide me i am a beginner
I have attached screenshot of my pc to let you know what actually KFU has done.
If not rooted what should i do now...and if rooted how can i use application with wifi access using proxy.
help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I have a feeling that KFU has no extra checks in it to see if it really is rooted. That would explain why it says its rooted after all the fails. I would say your device is NOT rooted.
Here's a couple things to check.
1. Is the super user app installed? Look in your apps for it.
2. Do you have FireFireFire bootloader installed? Turn off your Kindle wait a few seconds then turn it on. Does the splash screen have the words "kindle fire" in blue? If so then you have FFF installed.
3. Last check. Is TWRP installed? Turn off your Kindle and turn it back on. This time as soon as the blue "kindle fire" appears press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds. That will get you into your recovery where you can and should make a backup now.
If all of these tests work then kfu was successful and you can start flashing roms or whatever else you wanted to do after you rooted it.

I think the part you are referring to is in the 1st screenshot which says that he didn't already have it so it was downloading. I am betting that it was properly downloaded and installed. I don't have screenshots to compare from when I rooted mine but I remember it looking just like his. Worst case if he tries the steps I posted he will find out it didn't work and can continue from there. It should take about 2 minutes to try it so he might as well before downloading files he may not need.

He is definitely not rooted. It says check_root failed.
Fff and twrp didn't install (correctly) either.
To op: I suggest you root it manually. It's actually not that hard.

I've never done this and couldn't find anything up to date online :/ I'm rooted and adb is working - I just need to know where to put the contents of update-wipeall.zip: 'META-INF' 'system' and 'boot.img' - also, I'm pretty sure I use TWRP to flash ROMs, please include how to open it in your answer
Thanks - you guys are so helpful!

Thanks!! No lol im not blind I just didn't know that would tell me how to install cm7 by the title.
Edit: Those instructions only tell me to copy the update.zip to sd card - what do I do with the 2 folders that came with the latest cm7?

You have to flash Fire Fire Fire and TWRP. The easiest way to install is using Kindle Fire Utility from developtment section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
When you flashed it you see a yellow tiangle when you boot your Kindle Fire. Press the Power button until Power LED turns orange. Now the Kindle Fire boots into TWRP and you can flash CM7.
I used kindle fire utility to install twrp already - I think it installed FireFireFire too since I've seen the yellow triangle screen already.. if I'm wrong let me know. If I'm right - how do I get back to the FireFireFire screen to do it?

Fire Fire Fire is a bootloader you can "see" it everytime you boot your Kindle Fire.
Ok I just rebooted my kf and I do have FireFireFire installed - i know update.zip goes in sdcard but what do I do with the two folders that came with cm7

what folders?
you don't extract update-wipeall.zip at all, leave it as it is, just copy it in your sdcard.
When KF boots up keep power button pressed till TWRP shows up. Perform a backup if you want, so you can revert to Stock. Otherwise click Install and locate update-wipeall.zip on your sdcard, click it and then click Flash.
Don't worry about those errors, just click Reboot system when everything finishes.
Don't keep the power button pressed, let it boot by itself.
Enjoy CM7!
I used kindle fire utility .9 to permanent root (which installed burritoroot) then used it to install TWRP which I'm guessing installed FireFireFire as well since I see the triangle when I boot. Thanks for the info I didn't know I wasn't supposed to unzip it - I'm about to try now, thanks!

Oh my my my, we have a newbie here. Yikes!!!!!! Read the TUTS. Also if you don't even know not to unzip the rom, you shouldn't being doing this kind of stuff. You might end up making a 200 dollar paper weight.

That volume control app is available in the market. Look for "Volume Control" by RubberBigPepper.
is it just me or is the link down ??
yes - semms so - that means also:
!!! the KFU will not work at the time because it is downloading from there !!!
If you already have KFU downloaded, make sure to manually place the twrp.img file in \Kindle Fire Utility\recovery\ before you start the installation, or else you're going to have to get yourself out of a bricking.
EDIT: Here's a link for Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1 with the twrp.img already in place (hoping Vashypooh doesn't mind). It'll work for installing TWRP, but NOT the Google Apps, since I don't know the exact contents of Apps.zip, and didn't have it previously downloaded. I don't have enough posts to post this in the main topic, so feel free to repost it there.

thx guys for the quick response !
I was just unsure if it was me doing somethings wrong ...
so i have to stick with v8 until it comes back up again, right ...
(allready dwl all the tmw and others stuff)
cheers
.8 will also not work - loads from the same source
i think no kfu version will work at the moment, besides .9.2.1 if you allready have downloaded all the needed programs (recovery folder)
don't exactly know in which version vashy build in not to redownload
Could this be the reason I have a brick now? I tried using this last night.

I had to turn my KF off and then plug it into my computer. Otherwise it wasn't recognized as anything by Windows. After that I reinstalled the driver I was using ( http://www.jayceooi. com/2011/12/29/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver-video/ ), and then continued to use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422832, issuing the fastboot -i commands via the command prompt.

Can somebody mirror the KFU links? They're broken, and the newest one will not flash TWRP
Noticed last night that my root went out into space with the new update. Just wondering will there be an easy root tool for re-rooting the KF. I am not too good with ADB and all that stuff. I know I used Kindle Fire Utility last time. Thanks for your patience!!!
not atm - manually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
I looked at that and I know I didn't have to type all that stuff in the first time. So I guess I will just uninstall all the apps that are for root only and just use my fire to read books. What is really sad, is that I have rooted 4 or 5 different phones. And for some reason rooting the fire scares the fire outta me!! LOL @ me!!
Download the kindle fire utility.
1. Open run.bat
2. Select option 3 (install permanent root with superuser)
3. Select option 5 (install twrp recovery) this is optional
That's all I did and got back root

Hey..
New here... need some help.. hope i am right to post here...
I have the KF, never been rooted, just updated to 6.3
Now i downloaded KF utility 0.9.4 and installed drivers
My KF now shows up as Android ohone on the Device manger.
Now to root, do i just run the KF utility and choose option 2, ie. Permanent root with Superuser
and later option 5 to instal TWRP???
Or are there some steps that i am missing?
I just cant find a step by step guide for this latest version of KF Utility with superuser.
Any help is totally appreciated.

I hope you have got it by now. I would do the option 2 and then do option 5. But I am as much as a newbie as I can be. So you might be better off hoping someone else comes on here and lets you know.

What I did for my mom's KFHD was root it, disable the OTA, and install APEX launcher.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/ This explains custom ROMs.
Personally, I didn't install a second recovery or a custom ROM on my mom's KFHD because 1) It's not mine 2) I don't have a factory cable 3) She doesn't live with me so I won't get much troubleshooting time if something goes wrong.
She really hated the carousel feature of the stock kindle.

Bad news.
I used fireflash (checked both boxes before installing the flash), but now my kindle always boots into the twrp menu and it won't let me install zip files. I keep getting a assert failed message. Is this something I can fix on my own, or do I need a special cable to fix it or is it screwed? I can get into fastboot (assuming it's the black screen with the fastboot text in the middle)

I don't know enough to answer your questions with me being new to this also; however, being able to still get to fastboot is good and that you can use KFFA to put an older version 7.2.3 back onto you KFHD and then retry.

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.

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

I Have successfully rooted my kindle fire HD 7 - 7.4.7
With the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31
1) WHILE KINDLE IS UNPLUGGED Uninstall all kindle Drivers:
Download The adb drivers from the post
2) Go to settings on Kindle Enable ADB
3) Plug kindle in,
When the device is recognized you can now root.
4) Open the tool, Select option one, and read the instructions on the tool.
Enjoy!

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.
